Abstract: A method of nondestructive, reversible fixing of a coherent layer to a substrate, comprising the steps of anchoring a nonfibrous coherent layer to a film having either or both of projecting or embedded anchoring elements, wherein the anchoring elements provide mechanical anchorage of the coherent layer to the film, and fixing the coherent layer and film to the substrate. The coherent layer is anchored by applying a liquid or paste form material to the substrate that sets on the substrate to form the coherent layer, which is nonadhesive or only slightly adhesive to the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for removing joint filler and a method of using the same. The device includes a body member and a peeling element located adjacent to the front end of the body member. The peeling element includes at least two peeling points, where the first peeling point is located proximate to the topside of the peeling element and the second peeling point is located proximate to the underside of the peeling element. The device also includes an opening located between the peeling element and body member.

Abstract: A caulking gun requiring little space when not in use is provided. The caulking gun has an elongate receiving unit for holding a cartridge containing the product to be dispensed and a handle which, when the caulking gun is being operated, extends outward in a crosswise or diagonal manner relative to the elongate receiving unit. The handle may be moved into a position substantially parallel to the elongate receiving unit when not in use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cartridge system comprising a tubular cartridge pistol and a cartridge which can be inserted into the cartridge pistol. The outlet end of the cartridge protrudes out of the cartridge pistol when the cartridge is in an inserted position. The cartridge is provided with an attachment piece at the end for attaching an outlet nozzle. The aim of the invention is to improve the cartridge system in such a way that handling during operation of the system is considerably simplified and in particular no additional auxiliary elements are required apart from said cartridge system. To this end, the attachment piece is sealed with a pierceable membrane on the inside, and the outlet nozzle is provided with piercing elements at the attachment end for piercing the membrane. The piercing elements can be engaged with the attachment pierce.

Abstract: A container system includes two closable containers for containing two substances, respectively, whereby the closable containers are joined together in their closed form with their respective closures facing each other. By moving the joined containers relative to one another, the closures between the containers can be opened in such a way that their contents can be brought together and mixed. After mixing, the mixture can then be dispensed from one of the containers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator grip provided with a fixed grip part and a trigger part which is pivotally connected thereto and which is drivingly connected to a movable member of an apparatus for actuating by the hand-grip. The pivot connection between the grip part and the trigger part is arranged on the side of the hand-grip remote from the member for actuating. An ergonomically sound and well controllable movement of the trigger part relative to the grip part is hereby obtained, whereby the apparatus connected to the hand-grip can be actuated accurately and with relatively little effort. The invention further relates to a caulking gun which is provided with a container for a medium for dispensing having an outlet aperture and a movable member for urging the medium for dispensing from the container through the outlet aperture, and an actuator grip as described above connected to the container and the movable member.

Abstract: The invention is associated with a refill cartridge for a stick which applies product by rubbing onto a surface, comprising a tube-like element, which is designed to be tightly closed at both ends and of which one end is designed to fit tightly onto a tube element of the stick; a longitudinally displaceable plunger with a screwthreaded bore--onto which a screwthreaded spindle of the adhesive stick projecting from the tube element is designed to be screwed--being non-rotatably guided in the tube-like element; and the tube-like element being filled with a product which bears against the plunger at one end and, the product in an extension of the screwthreaded bore, is formed throughout with a bore in which the screwthreaded spindle engages when the refill cartridge is fitted onto the stick.

Abstract: A refill cartridge for a stick product dispenser, for stick products including adhesive sticks, lipsticks, release agent sticks, shaving soap sticks, coloring sticks, and so forth, is provided by molding the stick product material to have a shape substantially the same as the internal shape of the associated dispenser casing or holder, and to fill the free internal volume of the holder. When the stick product originally within the dispenser is used, the refill cartridge is partially inserted into an open end of the empty dispenser holder, and the cartridge is either pushed or drawn into the dispenser, for refilling the same with the desired stick product, and permitting nonconsumable portions of the stick product dispenser to be repeatedly reused via such refilling.
