Abstract
A dispenser () comprising a body () and a removable magazine () in which a product pouch () is held. The body () and magazine () form an asymmetric interior volume similar to the shape of the pouch (). The dispenser () includes a grip () and actuator () at an actuator end and a ratcheting drive system disposed on opposite sides of the interior volume. The drive system applies a symmetric pushing force on a squeeze pusher () that is slidably disposed in the interior volume. The squeeze pusher () applies pressure to the pouch () to dispense the product. The magazine () and pouch () may be ejected once the squeeze pusher () is ratcheted to the dispensing end. Once ejected, the squeeze pusher () is disengaged from the drive system. A magazine () with a new pouch () may be inserted into the body (), which automatically positions the squeeze pusher () at the actuating end and reengages the drive system for further dispensing.
