A caulking gun incorporating a caulk tube receptacle having a dispensing end a handle end; a plunger rod having a dispensing end and having a handle end, the dispensing end of the plunger rod extending toward the caulk tube receptacle's dispensing end and the handle end of the plunger rod extending away from the caulk tube receptacle's handle end; a trigger actuator operatively supporting the plunger rod at the caulk tube receptacle's handle end; a hammerhead; and a mounting sleeve fixedly attaching the hammerhead to the handle end of the plunger rod, the caulking gun being alternatingly useable as a caulk applying tool and as a hammer for resetting protruding nail heads.

An applicator (1) includes a main body (10), a parallel crank (40), and a lever (50). The parallel crank (40) includes a first crank bar (41) and a second crank bar (42). The first crank bar (41) and the second crank bar (42) each have one end portion swingably coupled to the main body (10). To the lever (50), another end portion of the first crank bar (41) and another end portion of the second crank bar (42) are each swingably coupled. The second crank bar (42) covers at least a part of side surfaces on both sides of the first crank bar (41) in an axial direction of a pin (43) as a rotation axis of the first crank bar (41) with respect to the main body (10) in a sandwiching manner.

A caulking gun is provided, including: a gun body, a push rod, a driving member, a lever and a rotation connecting mechanism. The push rod is movably disposed on the gun body. The driving member is movably disposed within the gun body and frictionally drives the push rod. The lever is swingably disposed on the gun body and includes an abutting portion which is abuttable against the driving member. The rotation connecting mechanism connects the lever and the gun body and includes an axis with a position thereof being changeable. The lever is rotatable about the axis as a rotation center. A method for using the caulking gun as described above is further provided, including following steps of: installing a caulk cartridge to the gun body; adjusting the position of the axis of the rotation connecting mechanism; pressing the lever.

A dispenser for dispensing a viscous material contained in a flexible package has a hollow body extending along a longitudinal axis, a first end with a handle assembly, an opposite second end with a dispensing valve, and a cavity configured to receive the flexible package. A piston is movably disposed in the cavity for engagement with the flexible package to force viscous material from the flexible package. A diverter insert is also disposed in the cavity and is configured to receive the viscous material from the flexible package as the piston moves and divert the viscous material to the dispensing valve.

A caulking gun for dispensing viscous material does not have any freeloop. A brake device is in the first and in the second position inclined relative to the axis of the push rod and a release device pushes the brake device in a third, essentially perpendicular position relative to the axis of the push rod in order to disengage the push rod from the brake device for pulling back the push rod and for acting simultaneously on the push device in order to disengage the push rod. Because the brake device is inclined in the first and in the second position due to the action of a spring acting on one end of the brake device and clamps the rod so that any freeloop (because the brake device does not clamp the rod in the upright position) is avoided.

A condiment dispensing device is provided that, when activated by a user, may expel a condiment from a condiment cartridge secured within the condiment dispensing device. The condiment dispensing device includes a recess at its bottom portion in which a dampener member may be secured. When the dampener member is secured in the recess, the bottom portion of the dispensing device is flat, which results in the device being orientation within a holder in a consistent and predictable fashion. Because the dampener member may be made of a rubber or soft plastic, when the condiment dispensing device is placed in the holder, substantially less impact and noise are created than if the dispensing device were construed entirely made of metal.

A dispenser for dispensing a viscous material contained in a flexible package has a hollow body extending along a longitudinal axis, a first end with a handle assembly, an opposite second end with a dispensing valve, and a cavity configured to receive the flexible package. A piston is movably disposed in the cavity for engagement with the flexible package to force viscous material from the flexible package. A diverter insert is also disposed in the cavity and is configured to receive the viscous material from the flexible package as the piston moves and divert the viscous material to the dispensing valve.

A dispenser for dispensing a viscous material contained in a flexible package includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis that has a first end, an opposite second end, a cavity configured to receive the flexible package, and a handle assembly coupled to the first end. The handle assembly has a fixed handle, a trigger pivotally coupled to the fixed handle, and a rod extending between the fixed handle and the trigger into the cavity. A plurality of dispensing valves are positioned at the second end of the body and configured to dispense the viscous material, and a piston is movably disposed in the cavity for engagement with the flexible package. As the trigger is pivoted toward the fixed handle, the rod moves along the longitudinal axis toward the piston such that the piston engages the flexible package and the viscous material dispenses through the plurality of dispensing valves.

A dispensing tool for dispensing caulk includes a cartridge housing shaped to receive a cartridge of caulk. The cartridge includes a support bracket which extends to a pivot element, and an applicator head is mounted on the pivot element. A material hose connects the exit nozzle of the cartridge with the applicator head. A dispensing nozzle of the applicator head dispenses the caulk flowing from the cartridge. The cartridge includes a drive mechanism to push the follower of the cartridge to dispense the caulk, and a pneumatic cylinder for moving the applicator head from a first position to a second position, and further includes a return spring for returning the applicator head from the second position to the second position.

A dispenser includes a guide shaft, a housing, accommodating the guide shaft, and supporting the guide shaft movably frontward and rearward along an axial direction, a slide block slidably mounted on the guide shaft, a piston shaft having one end mounted on the slide block, and another end projecting from the housing as the slide block moves frontward, a handle projecting from the housing, a slide bar having one end rotatably supported on the housing, and another end approaching the handle when rotated, and an engaging piece provided on the one end of the slide bar and engaging a guide groove formed in the guide shaft, wherein the engaging piece moves the guide shaft frontward when the other end of the slide bar is rotated to approach the handle due to an operation of a user.
