Cartridge or foil holder for a one and two component dispenser

A material dispensing assembly () and method of operation for converting a portable cartridge dispensing tool to a bag-type dispensing tool is provided in which the assembly includes a single piece piston () for advancing material though a material housing (). The single piece piston () includes a substantially square-shaped receptacle (). The assembly further includes a square shaped drive rack () for attaching to the piston () at the substantially square-shaped receptacle () at a connection end (). The drive rack () further includes a plurality of teeth () located thereon. The assembly () further has a support () with a substantially square profile for receiving and supporting the drive rack () during operation such that the construct of the drive rack and piston () are prevented from rotating during operation.

Method of dispensing material from a bag using a segmented piston

A material dispensing assembly () and method of operation is disclosed for converting a portable cartridge dispensing tool to a bag-type dispensing tool. The assembly comprises a single piece piston () for advancing material though a material housing (), the single piece piston () includes a substantially square-shaped receptacle (). The assembly further comprises a square shaped drive rack () for attaching to the piston () at the substantially square-shaped receptacle () at a connection end (). The drive rack () further comprises a plurality of teeth () located thereon. The assembly () further has a support () with a substantially square profile for receiving and supporting the drive rack () during operation such that the construct of the drive rack and piston () are prevented from rotating during operation.

An apparatus for dispensing material is provided having a body portion and housing for supporting cartridges filled with materials for dispensing. The housing includes a dispensing end, an attachment end, and an elongated opening for receiving the cartridges. The apparatus further comprises an attachment assembly located at an end of the body portion for attaching the housing to the body portion. The attachment assembly includes a first set of threads located about the perimeter of the attachment assembly. A second set of threads are located about the perimeter of the attachment end of the housing for engaging the first set of threads, forming a threaded connection and attaching the housing to the body portion.

An apparatus and method for monitoring and controlling motor current during a dispensing of material from a dispensing tool () is provided, including a method for measuring the motor current of the dispensing tool during operation through a motor controller (U). The method further includes sending a feedback signal from the motor controller (U) relating to the measured motor current to an input of a microcontroller (U) that is adapted to a dispensing tool (). The feedback signal is compared to a prescribed threshold and the motor current is conditioned based on the comparing of the feedback signal to the prescribed threshold.

Powered dispensing tool and method for controlling same

A piston assembly for use in a viscous material dispenser is disclosed. The assembly has a main body with an axial bore for receipt of a push rod. The body has a face including an annular recess and an endless lip surrounding the recess. A camming washer is disposed at least in part in the recess. The washer includes a perimeteral camming surface engageable with the lip. The body and washer are connected together for limited relative axial movement when the piston assembly is advanced against material in a cartridge to dispense such material. The relative movement is effective to cause the camming surface to force the lip outwardly into tight engagement with a wall of such a cartridge.

Viscous material dispenser piston

An electric dispensing gun for dispensing two part viscous materials. The dispensing gun features a directly driven pinion/rack assembly and an optional mixing manifold for dispensing material from sausage packaging. A controller controls operation of the dispensing gun to implement dosage control and automatic power reverse features.
