Cartridge charged with fluid materials and device for loading such cartridge to fluid dispensing apparatuses
View Patent ↗A cartridge-loading device is provided, to which a cartridge charged with a fluid material is loaded. The device comprises a cylindrical device body, piston, and nozzle. Both ends of the device body are opened to provide a bore therethrough. The cartridge is inserted into the bore. A notch is formed at an end portion of the device body. The piston, which is slidably arranged in the bore, is used for pushing the cartridge for ejecting the fluid material. The nozzle is detachably fitted into the opening of one end of the device body. The one end is located oppositely to the piston and have the notch formed thereat. Further, the cartridge has a cartridge body covered tightly by a cover member having one end protrude from an end of the cartridge body on an ejecting side thereof.
1. A cartridge charged with a fluid material, comprising:
a cartridge body for containing fluid material therein, the cartridge body having an end comprising an opening for ejecting fluid material through the opening; and
a cover member tightly covering the cartridge body and having at least one end located to protrude from the end of the cartridge body, wherein
the cartridge body is cylindrical and the one end of the cover member is substantially cylindrical and has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the cartridge body,
the cover member comprises a thermal-shrink material thermally shrunk to tightly cover the cartridge body and to form the one end thereof, and
the cartridge is loadable into a device for mounting to a fluid dispensing apparatus and for connecting to a nozzle at one end of such device, and the one end of the cover member has a tip having an outer diameter that is slightly smaller than an inner diameter of such nozzle.
