A device and method is disclosed for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying strips with a largely equal dosage are developed.

A wire mesh dispenser (99) allowing for the transportation, unrolling and deployment of wire mesh (91) is described. This wire mesh dispenser (99) is light weight, low profile, easily reloadable, and capable of being utilized with one arm. The wire mesh dispenser (99) allows an individual to unroll wire mesh (91) from a wire mesh roll (90) in tight, hard to reach spaces such as corners, narrow alleyways, and high reach areas. The wire mesh dispenser (99) is especially suited for the preparation of stucco based structures in construction projects. The wire mesh dispenser (99) comprises of an upper structure (100), a lower structure (200), and a means to fasten shafts (400).

A device for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying strips, including a housing in which a coil chamber for receiving an active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying band is arranged, in which a gear transmission with a driven roller for conveying the band is mounted, and in which a separating device for separating the strips from the band is arranged. A method for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient carrying strips using such a device is also disclosed. An active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying band is arranged between the driven roller and the pressure roller. A shift clutch transmission having a manually actuatable trigger element is arranged upstream of the gear transmission. The driven roller can be driven in incremental strips by the shift clutch transmission. A device and method is disclosed for dispensing active ingredient-containing or active ingredient-carrying strips with a largely equal dosage are developed.

A toy device for dispensing stackable or rollable materials and related methods are described. The device has a housing arranged to contain a stack or roll of material and having a dispensing aperture. A manually actuated drive mechanism is provided by which a user can rotate a drive wheel of the drive mechanism. The drive wheel contacts and when rotated engages a portion of the material and to drive it through the dispensing aperture. A release mechanism is provided that can be moved to allow the material to be driven through the aperture. The drive mechanism can be actuated independently from the release mechanism.

A wrapping or roll-up device including a base, one or more connectors, an arm, and a handle. In embodiments, one or more connectors are connected to the base and are configured to connect the device to a wall or support structure, and/or the arm includes an aperture. In embodiments, a handle includes an extended portion and a grip portion, and at least a portion of the extended portion is configured to extend through the aperture. Further, with embodiments, the extended portion includes a slot disposed about an end of the extended portion. Embodiments may include a tensioner. Methods for wrapping or rolling up an article such as a wrap are also disclosed.

A directional gear is adapted to be fitted to a driving shaft and includes a driving element, an external gear and a plurality of catching elements. The driving element is fitted to the driving shaft. A plurality of receiving slots are disposed at the periphery of the driving element. The external gear is disposed radially outside the driving element and includes a ring-shaped body and a plurality of tilted inner teeth. The tilted inner teeth are connected to the inner side of the ring-shaped body. The catching elements are movably disposed in the receiving slots and each include a catching portion corresponding in shape to the corresponding tilted inner teeth. The catching elements are selectively engaged with at least one of the tilted inner teeth of the external gear through the catching portions.

An unpowered, manually operable apparatus for dispensing cushioning wrap material drawn concurrently from a roll of separator material and a self-contained cartridge that includes a roll of expandable sheet material. The rolls are supported on a stand for rotation about respective parallel, spaced-apart axes. In addition to the roll, the cartridge includes a tensioning assembly and support panels that abut respective ends of the roll. The tensioning assembly and the support panels cooperate with the stand to control rotational resistance of the roll. The rotational resistance causes the expandable sheet material to expand in length and thickness as it is manually pulled from the stand with the separator material, and support surfaces on the stand hold the cartridge and the separator roll in position. When the cartridge containing the expandable sheet material is depleted, the cartridge is readily removed and replaced.
