Abstract: This invention relates to a discharge device of the dispenser gun type, which is suitable in particular for discharging semi-solid materials such as e.g. bone replacement materials. The discharge device comprises an adapter (400) which is removably attached to a main body (110) of the discharge device. A fastening structure for attachment of a container (300) is formed on the adapter substantially along a proximal direction (C) contrary to the feed direction (A). As a result various types of containers can be fastened to the machine without the need to change the mechanism of the device. The container can be provided on both ends with identical external threads and can be closed by closure caps in order to enable intuitive handling. In order to improve access to points which are difficult to reach, the container may be in the form of a curved pipe or may be formed flexibly. The piston rod (200) of the discharge device is then also formed flexibly.

Abstract: A jelly dispenser comprises a generally cylindrical body part including a set jelly and having a thread and having at one end a channel for dispensing the set jelly to a user and at the other end an opening for receiving a dispensing member, wherein the channel is tapered and/or includes one or more bends and wherein the dispensing member has a thread that mates with the thread of the body part so as to cause the movement of the dispensing member helically within the body part as the dispensing member is rotated relative to the body part, thereby to provide the dispensing of the jelly through the channel.

Abstract: Spray color dispensing devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed. Color dispensing devices in accordance with certain embodiments include colorant contained in a pressure vessel, a pressure vessel holder including an attachment mechanism and an actuator system, and a control cable leading to a remote trigger controller. The remote trigger controller may be thumb operated or have a push button design, both of which may include a trigger locking device. There may be a deflector near the spray nozzle. The holder and actuator may allow only specifically designed pressure vessels. Also the pressure vessel may be insulated and/or heated to allow the color dispensing device to be used in cold environments.

Abstract: An adhesive dispensing system is configured to automatically reduce the temperature of adhesive material to reduce degradation of the adhesive caused by holding the adhesive at an application temperature during periods of low throughput. To this end, a controller of the system operates a heater unit to maintain a unit set point temperature to heat and melt adhesive until a set threshold time has elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive to the system by a fill system. Once the time elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive exceeds the set threshold time, the heater unit is reduced in temperature to reduce the temperature of adhesive. This reduction is temperature is large enough to minimize degradation and outgassing but small enough to enable rapid warm-up times after a new supply of adhesive occurs.
