Abstract
An apparatus for dispensing a viscous compound has a dispensing device and a sleeve having a first end detachably connected to the dispensing device. The dispensing device has a plunger and a rotary drive acting on the plunger for applying pressure onto the viscous compound contained in a container attached to the dispensing device for dispensing the viscous compound. The dispensing device has an actuator that couples the rotary drive to the plunger. When the sleeve is attached to the dispensing device, the actuator allows movement of the plunger in the dispensing direction of the dispensing device upon actuation of the rotary drive.
