Claim Text:
1. A repair-compound dispenser, comprised of a container that is at least partially compressible and is constructed for dispensing a repair compound contained therein from an opening thereof when the container is compressed; and a delivery device that enables a user to single-handedly dispense repair compound received from said container and also to smooth the dispensed repair compound deposited upon a receiving surface; said delivery device comprising: (A) a dispensing nozzle part that is constructed to communicate with said opening of said container and that has a passageway for the passage of repair compound received from said container, at said opening thereof, from a rearward inlet end of said passageway to a forwardly spaced outlet orifice thereof; (B) a smoothing blade part operatively associated with said nozzle part and having a blade portion that extends forwardly beyond said outlet orifice of said nozzle part passageway and that terminates in a generally rectilinear leading edge, said blade portion being constructed for forcing a repair compound into subsurface recesses and defects of a receiving surface on which the repair compound is deposited, and for smoothing the surface of the deposit; and (C) a closure element on said blade part that is constructed to close said forwardly spaced outlet orifice of said nozzle part passageway, said blade part being movable between a closing position, in which said closure element effectively closes said outlet orifice of said nozzle part, and at least one opening position in which said closure element is displaced from said outlet orifice to permit repair compound to pass therethrough, at least one of said nozzle part and said blade part having means for attachment to said container.
