Abstract
Abstract A product dispenser for dispensing two products simultaneously comprising a first cylinder having a first product therein and having an end wall. The end wall has a tongue and groove joint with the first cylinder. The first cylinder is provided with a piston plate therein and the first cylinder in turn forms the piston of a second product therein. The parts are so arranged that movement of the first cylinder relative to the second cylinder will actuate the piston plate as well as discharge both products.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A product dispenser comprising a first cylinder having an end wall, a piston plate in said cylinder having hollow piston rod extending slidably through said end wall for communicating and dispensing the contents of said cylinder outwardly of said cylinder, a second cylinder having a forward wall provided with a delivery tube therein and a vent tube communicating with the interior of said first cylinder, said first cylinder functioning as a piston for said second cylinder, said piston rod being fixedly secured to said forward wall so that movement of said end wall toward said forward wall will move said piston plate away from said end wall to force a first product in said first cylinder outwardly through said piston rod and to force a second product in said second cylinder out through said delivery tube.
