Abstract
Abstract A hand held electric ejecting device is disclosed for ejecting material such as caulking from a cartridge. The ejecting device comprises in combination, a receptacle for receiving therein a cartridge containing a material to be ejected, the cartridge having a dispensing opening at one end and being adapted to receive a pusher at the other end for forcing the material in the cartridge through the dispensing opening; a pusher movable when driven through the cartridge from the other end to force the material in the cartridge through the dispensing opening, the pusher including a push rod; and an electric motor positioned adjacent one end of the receptacle and connected to the device, the push rod passing through the electric motor and being axially driven thereby for effecting movement of the pusher to force material through the dispensing opening of the cartridge.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A hand held electric ejecting device for ejecting material from a cartridge comprising in combination, receptacle means for receiving therein a cartridge containing a material to be ejected, said cartridge having a dispensing opening at one end and being adapted to receive a pusher means at the other end for forcing the material in the cartridge through the dispensing opening; pusher means movable when driven through said cartridge from said other end to force the material in the cartridge through said dispensing opening, said pusher means including a push rod formed as a screw shaft; and an electric motor positioned adjacent one end of said receptacle means and directly connected to said receptacle means, said screw shaft passing through an armature shaft of the electric motor, threads being provided on said armature shaft in driving engagement with said screw shaft for axially driving said screw shaft for effecting movement of the pusher means to force material through the dispensing opening of the cartridge, whereby said device is relatively lightweight, slim, compact and easy to use.
