Disclosed is an adaptor for connecting a grease injection gun to either of a lipped or a threaded grease cartridge; the adaptor including a tubular sleeve, having an internal diameter slightly larger than the external diameter of the grease cartridge, but smaller than the lip of the lipped cartridge, for receiving the discharge end portion of the cartridge; and an adaptor head shaped and dimensioned to form a closure over the tubular sleeve, the adaptor head including an outer face configured to releasably connect with the grease injection gun, and an inner face shaped and configured to releasably connect with the tubular sleeve and the cartridge, with a flow passage extending between the outer face and the inner face, for fluid communication between the grease injection gun and the cartridge.

An apparatus for the application of resin material along crease line of one or more garments simultaneously by providing means which allow at least first and second cartridges containing the resin material to be mounted in a spaced relationship so as to allow resin from each of the cartridges to be dispensed simultaneously. The resin can be applied in substantially less time than conventional systems which only use one cartridge at a time.

An applicator system for extrusive dispensing of work material from a flexible pre-charged portion of a cartridge unit is provided. The system comprises a body portion having an actuator and a housing coupled thereto. The housing includes a cartridge bay and an arresting member displaceably coupled thereto. The cartridge bay is configured to receive the cartridge unit and defines at least one containment compartment for receiving the pre-charged cartridge. The arresting member is displaceable between open and closed configurations for releasably retaining the cartridge unit. The actuator, coupled to the housing in communication with the cartridge bay, includes a drive member engaging the pre-charged cartridge within the containment compartment. The body includes a handle and an activation member coupled thereto. The activation member is coupled to the actuator to selectively activate displacement of the drive member within the containment compartment responsive to user manipulation thereby compressing the pre-charged cartridge therein.

The present invention relates to a pneumatic glue gun including tank components which contain a glue hose and an injector head; pressure generating units which contain a shell, an extruder, a slidable piston and a push/pull rod; and a drive component connected with the extruder. The tank components are fixed on the shell through a open end of the glue hose and faced the interior space of the shell. The drive component increases the atmospheric pressure between the extruder and the piston by driving the movement of the extruder in the shell, and the piston slides in the glue hose through the increased atmospheric pressure. The glue of the present invention does not need to be replaced, and the glue can be replenished at any time, so the work of replacing the tank is eliminated, and no waste of resources is caused.

An electrically powered handheld dispensing device used to dispense viscous materials from a cartridge in a drip-free manner. The dispensing device having a cartridge locking mechanism that affirmatively locks a material cartridge in place, limiting its axial motion in the cartridge holder. The dispensing device having a plunger assembly containing dogs that bite into the inner surface of the material cartridge piston after a plunger makes contact with the material cartridge piston. The dispensing device having a motor control circuit that automatically reverses the drive motor at high speed to reverse the piston inside the material cartridge to a predetermined distance when the user releases the trigger control, which may also suck material back from the cartridge nozzle tip preventing drips. A manually operated gear-release mechanism disengages the plunger assembly from the gear drive transmission, enabling rapid movement of the plunger in either direction for the loading or unloading of full or partially expended material cartridges.

A dispensing control system includes a dispensing device and a remote device. The dispensing device includes a dispenser configured to dispense material from a cartridge disposed in the dispensing device, a first receiver configured to receive information related to the cartridge, a transmitter configured to transmit the information related to the cartridge, and an electronic controller configured to cause the transmitter of the dispensing device to transmit the information related to the cartridge. The remote device includes an electronic controller, a receiver and a transmitter, the receiver of the remote device is configured to receive the information related to the cartridge, the controller of the remote device is configured to monitor the information related to the cartridge and to cause the transmitter of the remote device to transmit the information related to the cartridge to a remote server.

A caulk cartridge for use with high organic solvent caulk is disclosed. The cartridge includes a cartridge body formed as an open-ended elongate cylindrical tube having a first end, a second end, and an inner surface, a nozzle affixed to the first end of the cartridge body, and a plunger engaging with the inner surface of the cartridge body and forming a seal at the second end and slidable along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge body from the second end toward the first end. The cartridge body is manufactured from a cellulosic thermoplastic with a high organic solvent barrier.

An apparatus for use in the application of one or more lines of a fluid resin material onto crease lines of a garment to maintain the crease therein. The resin is typically applied from a cartridge as the cartridge is moved along the crease line. Apparatus is provided to support the garment with the crease line in position along a groove formed in the apparatus to allow the accurate location of the line of fluid resin material. The groove is formed along a face of one or more bodies of the support apparatus and the at least one groove is located at a spaced distance from a surface on which the apparatus is mounted for use and with which the at least one body contacts via one or more contact portions formed as part of, or connected to, the said at least one body. In one embodiment the support apparatus includes at least two bodies which are located at a spaced distance apart and in a substantially parallel relationship.

A spray applicator assembly discharges distributable product from a cartridge using low air pressure. The cartridge is held captive between a piston advancing from the rear to expel contents and a nozzle snugly attached at the front to receive expelled contents and to convert the contents into droplets by subjecting the contents to an array of focused high velocity air streams. The nozzle has an open barrel design and is able to discharge a variety of liquid or viscous distributable product without readjustment, other than resetting a proportioning valve in the low pressure air feed line. An air chamber immediately in front of the cartridge nose provides constant backpressure, which dominates to cleanly stop flow of distributable product into the nozzle whenever the piston stops advancing. When the piston resumes advancement, the flow restarts cleanly. Clean stopping and starting saves distributable product from waste. Variations in the distributable product might include, without limitation, a broad variety of materials including coating materials and combustibles.

Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a precision dispenser that is hand held and constructed and arranged to receive and release a variety of glue cartridges. In various embodiments, the adhesive cartridges include precision tips that provide, for example, flat even bead with little or no spill or drip. Other precision tips can be constructed and arranged for use with the precision glue gun. In some examples, the precision tips can be tailored to the specific adhesive contained in the cartridge.
