DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018]FIG. 1 depicts an embodiment of an apparatus 10 configured for dispensing flowable materials in accordance with the inventive disclosures made herein. The apparatus 10 includes a canister 12, a straining member 14, a lid 16, an air hose coupling 18, a dispensing tube assembly 20 and a dispensing tip 21. Preferably, but not necessarily, the canister 12, the straining member 14, the lid 16, the air hose coupling 18, the dispensing tube assembly 20 and the dispensing tip 21 are discrete components that are configured for being interconnected. In one example, the canister 12, the straining member 14, the lid 16, the air hose coupling 18 and the dispensing tube assembly 20 are respectively configured for enabling the straining member 14, the lid 16, the air hose coupling 18 and the dispensing tube assembly 20 to be attached to the canister 12. Similarly, the dispensing tube assembly 20 and the dispensing tip 21 are preferably, but not necessaril...

Abstract

An apparatus configured for dispensing flowable materials comprises a canister, a straining member, a lid, means for pressurizing a cavity of the canister and a dispensing tube assembly. The canister has a fill port and means for pressurizing the canister. The straining member is removably mounted within the fill port. The lid is removably mounted on the fill port. The lid and the fill port are jointly configured for providing a substantially air-tight seal therebetween when the lid is mounted on the fill port. The dispensing tube assembly is communicatively attached to the canister. The dispensing tube is configured for enabling flowable material within the cavity of the canister to be selectively dispensed through the dispensing tube assembly.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] The disclosures made herein relate generally to containers configured for holding flowable materials and, more particularly, to containers configured for selectively dispensing flowable materials from within. BACKGROUND [0002] Applying flowable construction materials, which have a relatively thick consistency, in a controlled and professional manner using conventional techniques is a time-consuming and tedious task. Flowable masonry materials such as grout and mortar are prime examples of such flowable construction materials. Roof patching materials, concrete patching materials, caulk, adhesives and the like are also examples of such flowable construction materials. [0003] Conventional approaches for dispensing flowable construction materials exhibit one or more shortcomings. Pre-packaged tubes of material (e.g., tubes of caulk) offer relatively small volume and their associated cost is relatively high. Conventional buckets of material do not provide f...
