Abstract
A hollow elongated housing is configured to receive a flowable substance therein. A plunger assembly is configured to be movable along, at least in part, the hollow elongated housing. This is done in such a way that the plunger assembly, in use, moves, at least in part, the flowable substance along the hollow elongated housing. A plunger-moving assembly is configured to move the plunger assembly; this is done in such a way that the plunger-moving assembly, in use, urges the plunger assembly to move a predetermined amount of the flowable substance along the hollow elongated housing.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a hollow elongated housing being configured to receive a flowable substance therein;
- and
- a plunger assembly being configured to be movable along, at least in part, the hollow elongated housing in such a way that the plunger assembly, in use, moves, at least in part, the flowable substance along the hollow elongated housing;
- and
- a plunger-moving assembly being configured to move the plunger assembly in such a way that the plunger-moving assembly, in use, urges the plunger assembly to move a predetermined amount of the flowable substance along the hollow elongated housing.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a hollow elongated housing having a first open end section being configured to receive a flowable substance therein;
- and
- a plunger assembly being configured to be movable along a length of the hollow elongated housing in such a way that the plunger assembly, in use, moves, at least in part, the flowable substance from the hollow elongated housing and out from the first open end section;
- and
- a sealing device being positioned between the plunger assembly and the hollow elongated housing in such a way that the sealing device, in use, prevents, at least in part, leakage of the flowable substance between the plunger assembly and the hollow elongated housing;
- and
- a plunger-moving assembly being configured to move the plunger assembly toward the first open end section in such a way that the plunger-moving assembly, in use, urges the plunger assembly to move a predetermined amount of the flowable substance from the hollow elongated housing and out from the first open end section.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a hollow elongated housing defining a cavity;
- and
- the hollow elongated housing having a first open end section and a second open end section, in which the first open end section and the second open end section are spaced apart from each other;
- and
- the cavity extending between, and being in fluid communication with, the first open end section and the second open end section;
- and
- the cavity being configured to receive a flowable substance;
- and
- a dispensing device being configured to be selectively attachable to the first open end section;
- and
- the dispensing device being configured to be, at least in part, in fluid communication with the first open end section and the cavity once the dispensing device is selectively attached to the first open end section;
- and
- a plunger assembly being configured to be received into the cavity via the second open end section;
- and
- the plunger assembly also being configured to be movable along a length of the cavity once the plunger assembly is received into the cavity via the second open end section;
- and
- the plunger assembly also being configured to be movable toward the first open end section in such a way that the plunger assembly, in use, moves, at least in part, the flowable substance, positioned in the cavity, toward, and out from, the first open end section;
- and
- the plunger assembly includes a front section being configured to contact an interior surface of the first open end section to allow departure of the flowable substance from the cavity;
- and
- a sealing device extending from the plunger assembly;
- and
- the sealing device being configured to prevent, at least in part, leakage of the flowable substance positioned on the front section of the plunger assembly toward the second open end section while the plunger assembly, in use, is moved toward the first open end section;
- and
- a plunger-moving assembly being configured to be coupled to the plunger assembly;
- and
- the plunger-moving assembly being configured to move the plunger assembly toward the first open end section in such a way that the plunger-moving assembly, in use, moves the plunger assembly so that a predetermined amount of the flowable substance is moved, in use, from the cavity and out from the first open end section and into the dispensing device, and out from the dispensing device.
