A dispenser for flowable materials includes an outer barrel which is telescoped over a plunger. A piston head may be separate and distinct member from the plunger itself and may be prepackaged in the barrel with the material to be dispensed located in a chamber above the piston head. When the barrel is telescoped over the plunger, the piston head seats on the plunger and forces fluid from a dispensing spout in the barrel. The piston head carries a sealing rim which creates a seal as the barrel is moved downwardly on the plunger. The barrel may be in the form of a cartridge mounted in a jacket-like holder with a seal between the cartridge and holder.

Dispenser for flowable materials

A dispenser for flowable materials, such as toothpaste, includes a hollow barrel in the form of a tube open at its lower end and closed at its upper end with the flowable material being inserted in the tube. A plunger which is also in the form of a hollow tube having a closed upper end, is telescopically arranged in the barrel. A seal is effected by a hinged peripheral rim on the outer surface of the piston near its upper end. The flow of the material forces the peripheral rim to pivot into sealing contact with the inner surface of the barrel.
