  • Patent number: 6223941
    Abstract: An apparatus that dispenses material stored in a soft packet. The apparatus includes a barrel sized to contain the soft packet. The barrel has a front end and a back end. The apparatus also includes a cap removably engaged to the front end of the barrel. The cap has an orifice through which the material may flow. The cap also has inner dimensions sized to form a seal with a top portion of the soft packet to minimize any extraneous air trapped therebetween. The apparatus further includes a plunger positioned within the barrel. The plunger applies pressure to the soft packet when the plunger moves from the back end of the barrel toward the front end of the barrel to force the material out from the packet and through the orifice.
