The container preferably comprises a hollow right angle prism divided by a slidable, self-supporting partition or partitions parallel to the longitudinal axis of the prism and pistons or plungers attached to the slidable partition or partitions and a slidable lug operating through a slot in the container wall to slide the partition with the attached plungers upwardly or downwardly to push the adhesive ingredients out of the container or return them into the container.

Abstract: A fluid dispenser according to the present invention has a tubular body having therein a fluid chamber, a pusher for pushing the fluid, and a feed mechanism for progressively advancing the pusher. The feed mechanism has a slider and an actuator for advancing the pusher so that a suitable amount of the fluid in the fluid chamber of the tubular body is fed to an outlet of the dispenser. The outlet may be in the form of a nib when the dispenser is in the form of a writing pen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the feed mechanism has a nut fixed within the tubular body, a threaded rod threadedly engaged with the nut, a rotary member slidably mounted on the threaded rod and spring biased rearwardly towards the actuator, a slider for rotating the rotary member, and a guide device for guiding the rotary member and the slider. The guide device has grooves on the inner surface of the tubular body.

Abstract: This relates to a fingernail polish cartridge and dispenser. This will be provided as a sealed unit which may be readily placed in a reusable handpiece and wherein there is associated with a cartridge containing the polish a brush attachment and a plunger. When the brush attachment is moved into the cartridge by way of the handpiece, it will automatically open one end of the cartridge, that end being closed by a separately formed plug which has a sealed fit therein. Then a plunger is utilized to displace a removable panel at the opposite end of the cartidge followed by that removable panel seating on a piston and being moved into the cartridge by further movement of the plunger so as to force the liquid nail polish into the brush attachment.

Abstract: A ball point pen cartridge capable of being pressurized in a pressure vessel including an end stopper having an enlarged section shaped to seal the end of a cartridge tube, a narrower section connected to the enlarged portion and extending into the cartridge, an axial tube running completely through the enlarged section and partly through the narrower section, a radial tube in the narrower section that intersects the axial tube and a flexible, gas impervious tube surrounding the narrower section to form a check valve with the radial tube.

Abstract: A prepackaged dispensing system for a two part permanent adhesive including an adhesive portion and an activator portion. The adhesive portion is housed in the main hollow body of a syringe-like member between an initially closed discharge means end and a sealing piston initially spaced axially form said discharge means end. A removably capped elongated dispensing container, adapted to contain and dispense the activator portion, is telescopically positioned within the hollow body and engages the piston. The combined total axial length of the piston and dispensing container when aligned exceeds the internal length of the hollow main body whereby axial pressure on said container will move said piston and insures substantially total discharge of said adhesive by movement of said piston to the discharge end of said hollow body.

Abstract: Apparatus for selectably buttering and salting an article of food such as an ear of corn or the like. A separate butter receptacle and salt receptacle are pivotably interconnected with each other so that the salt receptacle can fit into an opening of the butter receptacle, thereby urging a chunk of butter through a dispensing opening to be spread onto the corn. After the corn is buttered, the buttering and dispensing apparatus may be inverted in position to salt the corn.

Abstract: The toothbrush has an exterior structure resembling a traditional fountain pen case including a cylindrical end-cap cover which is removable to reveal the brush bristles. The device includes a main cylindrical body shaft having a cross section at the bristle end which is reduced to substantially a minor segment of a circle, and having toothbrush bristles extending transversely and confined within the circular profile of the transverse section of the cylindrical body shaft so that the end cap cover covers the bristles without interference when placed over the bristle end of the body shaft.

Abstract: A syringe, primarily for use with rapid hard setting viscous flowable material, has one or more passages in the piston whereby gas but not the viscous flowable material can escape to the rear of the piston.

Abstract: Applicator device for cosmetic preparations, having a closed, substantially cylindrical casing in which a piston dividing the casing into two variable-size chambers sealed from one another is displaceably disposed, the one variable-size chamber being fillable with the cosmetic preparation and being combined with a removable applicator provided with a passage for the preparation, by means of which the cosmetic preparation can be applied to the body part being treated, in quantities controllable by means of a self-closing valve. The variable-size chamber opposite the preparation reservoir is provided with a connection for bringing in a compressed gas which seeks to displace the piston to reduce the preparation reservoir, and in the passage connecting the preparation reservoir chamber to the applicator there is disposed the self-closing valve preventing escape of the preparation when the applicator is removed.

Abstract: An applicator is shown for applying a thin coating of stippled plaster or stucco to a ceiling or wall structure. The applicator includes an elongated tubular member that has an open top and is fitted with a piston having an elongated handle that is attached to its underside. The plaster compound is loaded into the tubular member on top of the piston. A porous cover in the form of a net material of fine mesh is fastened over the top end of the tubular member. The plaster compound may be extruded through the porous cover by moving the handle towards the surface to be stippled so as to bring the cover and the top edge of the tubular member into engagement with the said surface.

Abstract: A disposable toothbrush has a handle formed with a cavity which houses by friction a body with integral bristles extending therefrom. The body has a cylinder for a charge of dentifrice and a groove is provided in the handle for a piston which is manually movable to drive the dentifrice through an orifice in the body to the bristles.

Abstract: A fountain brush has a bristle carrier and a set of bristles on one end thereof, a handle attached to the other end of the bristle carrier and a reservoir a channel extends axially through the bristle carrier from the reservoir into the bristle-bearing end of the carrier; the channel has at least one radial outlet orifice in the sidewall of the carrier. A slide valve member is guided sealingly in the interior of the channel. A closure member is adapted for hermetically closing the reservoir. A connecting rod extends substantially axially through the interior of the reservoir and connects the actuating device and the slide valve member to one another.

Abstract: The tape player cleaning device comprises an elongated cylinder having felt pads at either end. One felt pad is designed to remain dry while the other felt pad is provided with a liquid solvent cleaning substance from an internal reservoir chamber with such supply being controlled by a manually actuated plunger mechanism connected to an actuating lever extending outwardly through a longitudinal slot in the barrel of the device. In operation, the end having the felt tip which is to be supplied with liquid is threadably removed whereupon the reservoir is filled by retraction of the plunger and the felt tip is threadably reconnected to its respectively associated end of the device. Thereafter, the tape player parts which require cleaning are accessed by this felt tip end which is supplied with a suitable amount of cleaning fluid by simultaneous manual actuation of the plunger mechanism.
