Abstract
A dispenser for use particularly with high viscosity or thixotropic materials and especially those containing grit is disclosed and comprises a two-piece housing adapted to be received on a supporting surface and to receive a replacable supply container for the material. The housing has an internal track at least partially disposed in a curved condition and intended to receive and support a flexible tube which interconnects the supply container and a dispensing nozzle which is carried by the housing. One of the housing components also carries a roller crank having a pair of diametrically opposed rollers which can be selectively moved into and out of occlusive contact with the tubing to force a measured amount of the material through the flexible tube and out the nozzle. A handle is disposed externally of the housing for connection with the roller crank for actuation thereof. The roller crank and the internal track are designed so that, except during the actual turning of the handle, the rollers are removed from occlusive contact with the tube so that it is in what may be called a relaxed condition.
