Abstract: A miniature capsule-like cartridge adapted to be operated by being mounted in an ejector holder and including a tubular body of uniform inner diameter open at one end and the other end being closed but having a discharge opening therein, the body containing a complementary piston having an innermost pressure end complementary to the interior of the closed end of the body end and provided with an integral thin cylindrical wall at least precisely complementary in outer diameter to the inner diameter of the tubular body and extending axially away from the pressure end of the piston, the piston being operable by a piston post integral at one end with and extending axially away from the pressure end of the piston and connected to the thin cylindrical sleeve by a reinforcing rib extending integrally therebetween.

Abstract: A multiple, metered dosage device having an elongated body provided adjacent one end with a compartment or an ampule to contain material to be dispensed, a piston movable against the material to discharge it from a nozzle, a rod-like plunger movable by a pressure device against the piston to discharge material and a combination stop and release unit movable intermediately of the ends of the body between depressed and elevated positions respectively to engage a pair of racks of teeth on the plunger and including first and second teeth respectively engageable with the racks of teeth sequentially to permit the pressure device to advance the plunger and piston in similar metered, precise or predetermined increments of feeding in discharge direction and then stop the feeding movement and maintain such stopped position until the stop and release unit next is depressed.
