Abstract
A dispensing device for dispensing material. The dispensing device comprises a dispensing head; a capsule magazine including at least one void; at least one material capsule, wherein the at least one material capsule is disposed within the at least one void in the material capsule magazine; a motor, operable to provide mechanical power for material dispensing operations, wherein the motor is disposed within the dispensing head; and a gear mechanically connected to the motor, wherein the gear is further disposed in connection with the at least one material capsule, such that operation of the motor causes rotation of the gear and, in turn rotation of the at least one material capsule.
Claims32
A dispensing device for dispensing material, comprising:
- a dispensing head;
- a capsule magazine, including at least one void;
- at least one material capsule, having a tubular shape, a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the at least one material capsule is disposed within the at least one void in the capsule magazine;
- a motor, operable to provide mechanical power for material dispensing operations, wherein the motor is disposed within the dispensing head;
- and
- a gear mechanically connected to the motor, wherein the gear is further disposed momentarily in connection with the at least one material capsule such that operation of the motor causes rotation of the gear and, in turn, rotation of the at least one material capsule;
- wherein said at least one material capsule comprises:
- a. distal end cap located at said distal end of said at least one material capsule and comprising a dispensing element comprising a first face and a second face;
- said first face facing material located inside of said at least one material capsule;
- said dispensing element comprises an extending scraping blade located on said first face;
- b. a pusher, configured to compact said material into a single bulk material;
- wherein said rotation of said at least one material capsule causes a rotation of said single bulk material against said extending scraping blade to knock loose a calibrated unit of said single bulk material.
A material capsule operable in a dispensing device for dispensing material, comprising:
- a tubular shape, a distal end and a proximal end;
- a distal end cap located at said distal end of said at least one material capsule and comprising a dispensing element comprising a first face and a second face;
- said first face facing material located inside of said at least one material capsule;
- said dispensing element comprises an extending scraping blade located on said first face;
- a pusher configured to compact said material into a single bulk material;
- wherein said rotation of said at least one material capsule causes a rotation of said single bulk material against said extending scraping blade to knock loose a calibrated unit of said single bulk material.
A material capsule operable in a dispensing device for dispensing material, comprising:
- a hollow barrier adapted to contain material to be dispensed, wherein the barrier is open at one end;
- a dispensing element adapted to dispense the material contained in the barrier;
- wherein the dispensing element further comprises:
- a pump head, wherein the pump head includes a sink, a pump body, a dispensing aperture, at least one pump wheel, and a flexible barrier;
- wherein rotation of said material capsule activates the mechanism of said pump head.
