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 device comprising a housing including a palm portion, a sheath portion extending from one end of the palm portion, and a slot comprising an adjustable platform capable of receiving a syringe and a needle connected to the syringe with the needle resting in the sheath portion. A trigger mechanism is connected to the adjustable platform. Adjustment of the trigger mechanism in a first direction moves the platform along the slot toward the sheath portion and adjustment of the bidirectional trigger mechanism in a second direction moves the platform away from the sheath. A light element is connected to the housing and is capable of directing light along the sheath portion away from the palm portion. A power source is electrically coupled to the light element to provide electrical power to the light element. Also disclosed is a system comprising the device, as well as methods of using the device.

A new type of syringe for delivering composite material for direct application of the material in the mouth of a patient. The new type of syringe includes a threaded screw for driving a piston through the syringe in order to extrude the material from the end of the syringe. The extrusion force is thus generated in the syringe, thereby allowing for a simpler, less costly motorised driving system using a torque driving movement. The syringe also includes a localised heating arrangement at the extrusion end.

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.

An electric glue gun includes a housing, a glue tube holder arranged at a front end of the housing, and a push rod disposed on the housing and moveable forward and rearward relative to the glue tube holder. A control board, a main switch, an electric motor and a transmission mechanism are provided inside the housing. The main switch is electrically connected to the control board for controlling power on/off, the electric motor is electrically connected to the control board to drive the push rod to move forward or rearward via the transmission mechanism. The electric glue gun further includes a sensor switch for facilitating control of a forward/rearward movement stroke of the push rod, and the sensor switch is electrically connected to the control board, such that the control board determines whether the push rod is moved to a limit position based on information feedback from the sensor switch.

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 dental-impression-material electric dispenser includes a main body having a longitudinal mounting portion formed therein. A top-open tray part includes, at the front end thereof, extrusion ports communicate with a mixing tip part communicate with each other. An impression material cartridge, having partitioned a first filling chamber and a second filling chamber, is mounted. The mixing tip part communicates with a pair of extrusion ports formed at the front end of the impression material cartridge, and stirs and discharges a silicone base and a curing agent, each being discharged in a fixed amount through the pair of extrusion ports. An extrusion rod part simultaneously presses a pair of pistons of the impression material cartridge mounted on the tray part through a pair of pressing ends. An electric extrusion part receives starting current from a battery cell and allows the extrusion rod part to advance forward through electrical driving.

The present invention relates to a dispensing system (10) comprising an assembly having a dispenser (11) of at least one cosmetic product, in particular makeup, and having at least two outlet interfaces (110), each of which can be mounted removably on the dispenser, the dispenser having at least two different base products and allowing these to be delivered in variable proportions, the outlet interfaces being able to receive the one or more products delivered by the dispenser.

A motor-driven fluid, semi-fluid, or semi-sold material dispensing apparatus including a housing; a plunger/drive rack; an electric motor mounted transverse to the plunger/drive rack; a gear system mechanically coupled to the electric motor and configured to drive the plunger/drive rack, wherein the gear system includes a rack drive gear operatively engaged with the electric motor, the rack drive gear includes a plurality of saw tooth type gear teeth, the rack drive gear teeth being configured to engage with corresponding teeth disposed on the plunger/drive rack; and wherein, the electric motor and gear system are housed in a main body portion of the housing.

A dispenser assembly includes a rod, a plunger and a stopper. The rod has a plunger receiving end with a clip receiving recess. The plunger has a rod receiving structure with a rod engaging clip biased to fit to the clip receiving recess of the rod for movement therewith. The stopper has a plunger receiving space that defines an aperture extending through the plunger receiving space with the rod extending through the aperture. The plunger receiving space is dimensioned such that with the rod receiving structure of the plunger located within the plunger receiving space, movement of the rod engaging clip is restricted by contact with surfaces of the plunger receiving space preventing release of the rod from the plunger.
