Abstract: A cartridge for a flowable material, e.g. caulking compounds, sealants and adhesives, includes a tubular container, an end plate disposed at a first end to a tubular container, a nozzle extending from the end plate, a plunger received in the tubular container, and a barb extending inwardly from the tubular container. The end plate includes an opening. The nozzle is in communication with the opening. The barb is configured to limit movement of the plunger in a first axial direction. A method for packaging a flowable material includes introducing flowable material into a tubular container, inserting a plunger into the container, and deforming the tubular container at a location axially spaced from an end of the container at a location axially spaced from an end of the container to create a mechanical stop.

Abstract: A coating dispensing cartridge and spout therefor, includes a device defining a guide surface co-planar with the exit end of the spout orifice, to enable the user to press the guide surface flat against the surface to be coated and to maintain it thereagainst, as the cartridge is moved therealong.
