1. A dispensing gun for dispensing viscous material from a generally cylindrical cartridge, the gun comprising:
- a generally plate-like stock formed from sheet metal;
a cartridge holder projecting from one edge of said stock;
a rod mounted in said stock by being engaged on one side by a first bridge bounded by edges generally perpendicular to the axis of the rod and by ends which merge into the remainder of said stock and being engaged on the side opposite to said one side by two other bridges, each bounded by edges generally perpendicular to the axis of the rod and by ends which merge into the remainder of said stock, said three bridges being spaced longitudinally along said rod with said first bridge between said two other bridges, said first bridge being displaced from the general plane of the stock in one direction and said two other bridges being displaced from the general plane of the stock in the opposite direction, whereby the rod is movable longitudinally of itself with its axis extending substantially in or parallel with the plane of said stock; and
means for advancing said rod longitudinally of itself.

Abstract
A gun for dispensing viscous material, for example a mastic caulking material, and comprising a holder for a cartridge projecting from one edge of a generally plate-like stock in which a rod is mounted for movement longitudinally of itself, and a mechanism for advancing the rod longitudinally of itself to express material from the cartridge. The rod is mounted in the plate-like stock by being passed between bridge portions integral with the stock and deformed out of the general plane of the stock in opposite directions.

2. A dispensing gun for dispensing viscous material from a generally cylindrical cartridge, the gun comprising a generally plate-like stock formed of sheet metal, a cartridge holder projecting from one edge of said stock, a rod mounted in said stock for movement longitudinally of itself with its axis extending substantially in or parallel with the plane of said stock, and means for advancing said rod longitudinally of itself, wherein said holder comprises two metal strips extending from said stock parallel with and on either side of the axis of the rod and an annular member connected to the ends of the metal strips remote from said stock and lying in a plane normal to the axis of the rod, said metal strips each having a 90°
- twist adjacent said stock to provide an end portion which lies flat against and is bonded to said stock.

4. A dispensing gun for dispensing viscous material from a generally cylindrical cartridge, the gun comprising:
-
a flat sheet metal stock having a body portion and a butt portion depending therefrom, the stock having apertures therein defining a plurality of integral bridge portions at least one of which is displaced in one direction out of the general plane of the stock and at least two of which are displaced in the opposite direction out of the general plane of the stock, whereby a passage is formed having a longitudinal axis lying in the plane of the stock; a cartridge holder comprising two elongate metal members each welded at one end to said stock and extending away from said stock parallel with said longitudinal axis, and an annular metal member welded to the other end of each elongate member; a rod mounted for reciprocation in said passage; a plunger on one end of said rod and positioned between said annular member and said stock; a sheet metal trigger pivoted to said stock and extending alongside said butt portion; and a gripper having an aperture through which said rod passes and mounted in one of said apertures in said stock for tilting movement relative to the axis of said rod, said trigger having a portion engageable with a point on said gripper spaced from the axis of said rod, whereby squeezing of said trigger towards said butt firstly tilts said gripper to grip said rod and secondly advances said gripper and said gripped rod to advance said plunger toward said annular member. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
