Abstract:
Described are applicators having a plunger with a plunger body, and a tube having a receptacle end for insertion of the plunger, and a connector end formed of flexible plastic material having a bull-nose shape. As an example, the plunger body can include a viewing window. As another example, the connector end has an internal surface that is free of threaded connectors. The connector end can also have a snap-fit coupling design to couple to a snap-fit nozzle. The snap-fit nozzle can be connected to an adaptor cap or an administering tool of a metering dispenser.

Claim (Index 35):
An applicator system comprising:\n an applicator comprising:\n a tube defining a hollow core; and \n a plunger comprising a tip, wherein the plunger is movable within the hollow core between a dispensed position, a loaded position, and a filled position, wherein a distance between the tip and a connector end of the tube in the loaded position is greater than a distance between the tip and the connector end in the dispensed position and less than a distance between the tip and the connector end in the filled position, wherein the plunger is in the loaded position prior to loading of a flowable composition within the hollow core; and \n a dispenser comprising:\n a dispenser nozzle that is at least partially receivable within the hollow core of the tube prior to loading of the flowable composition within the hollow core; \n a dispenser body configured to house the flowable composition prior to loading of the flowable composition within the hollow core; and \n a rotatable base that is configured to advance the flowable composition through the dispenser nozzle based on rotation of the rotatable base.
