Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing an adhesive or sealant from a vessel, in particular from a pressurized vessel, via a valve. For this purpose, the dispenser is equipped with a lever with a grip region for actuating the valve. The dispenser also has an attachment, on which the lever is fitted in a pivotable manner, and an actuator with a supporting region for the lever. The actuator is configured such that it can be rotated relative to the attachment, and the supporting region is therefore variable, in order to change the effective lever path for the actuation of the valve, for activating or deactivating the dispenser or for varying the volume flow as product is dispensed.

Abstract: An applicator for a one-handed operation for storing and applying a dental liquid, including a container for the dental liquid and a tubing for guiding the dental liquid from the container to an applicator tip. The container is made of foil, which can be punctured by a mandrel. The dental liquid is expelled through a displacement plunger, whereby puncturing and expelling are effected through actuating a handle and the container is positioned with respect to the mandrel in suitable manner such that the advancing mechanism that is used to expel the dental liquid from the applicator is also used to puncture or slit open the foil with the mandrel, whereby the container is opened through the same force that is used to dispense the dental liquid and one-handed operability of the applicator is attained not only when the dental liquid is dispensed, but also when the container is being opened.
