APPLICATOR FOR DISPENSING MATERIAL FROM A DUAL CHAMBER CARTRIDGE

摘要

A dispensing applicator (10) includes a body (14) with a handle (16), a pivotable lever (18) and a front holder (26) with a receptacle (32) that is adapted to removably receive a dual chamber cartridge (12). In certain embodiments, the majority of the cartridge contents are expelled during a single stroke of the lever (18), an advantage when used for single patient use in dental or medical fields. In other embodiments, the holder (26) is rotatably connected to the body (14) so that the holder (26) and the cartridge (12) can be moved as needed in an arc in order to vary the orientation of the cartridge (12) relative to the applicator handle (16). The rotatable connection enables the cartridge (12) to be moved to any one of a number of different orientations as may be desired to provide optimum maneuverability of the applicator (10) in use and to enhance the operator's vision of the application site.
