Abstract
An adapter for use in an extrusion device can use sausage skin packaged sealant-type extrudable materials. A sausage skin package is inserted into the adapter which is, in turn, inserted into an extrusion device, such as a caulking gun. The adapter has four pieces, a cylindrical tube, a plunger, a removable nozzle base, and a removable nozzle tip. The adapter can be designed to be reversible where a sausage is inserted between the plunger and the nozzle base, force is applied to the plunger by the extrusion device forcing the sealant-type material from the sausage package and after the material is expelled, a wad of package skin is removed, a new sausage package is inserted into the open end of the tube and the removable nozzle base is attached to the tube and the dispensing operation can be continued.
