Abstract
A device and method for dispensing flowable materials from a plurality of cartridge assemblies. Under the preferred embodiment, the device comprises a receptacle for carrying a plurality of cartridge assemblies therein. The cartridge assemblies each have a longitudinal axis and include a dispensing nozzle and an elongated tubular wall portion for containing a flowable material therein for dispensing. The wall portion is formed of a material that can be cut by a cutting surface. A drive mechanism is provided for moving an elongate drive rod in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. A web assembly is secured to the drive rod, the web assembly including a plurality of ejectors extending therefrom. Each ejector is arranged for reciprocal movement along the longitudinal axis within one of the cartridge assemblies between a forward ejecting direction to dispense the flowable material it contains and a return direction. There is disposed on the web assembly at least one cutting surface for slicing the tubular side wall of the cartridge assembly as the ejector moves in the forward ejecting direction.
