Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a dispensing device for the dispensation of a fluid substance. Aspects of the present invention include dispensing a viscous fluid in a measurable and repeatable manner with a single hand. The dispenser of the present invention can be used for a number of intended purposes including use with viscous fluids such as those associated with cannabis or tobacco consumption.

Claim (Index 14):
A dispensing apparatus for the dispensing of fluid comprising:\n a plunger having a substantially hollow form having a consistent cross-sectional profile comprising a first end; the first end of the plunger having a plunger tip, the plunger tip having a maximum diameter, and a second end of the plunger having a female threaded feature aligned with a central axis of the plunger; the plunger further comprising an anti-spin feature having a thickness; the female threaded feature extending through a portion of the plunger extending toward the first end of the plunger; the plunger further comprising a slot through an external surface of the plunger to an internal surface of the plunger and the slot extending from the second end of the plunger toward the first end of the plunger and terminating therebetween; a lead screw having male threading from a first end of the lead screw extending toward a second end of the lead screw, the male threading configured to engage with the female threaded feature; the male threading of the lead screw having thread-step features; the second distal end of the lead screw having a substantially cylindrical push-button having a maximum diameter, with the push-button further comprising a key, with the key of the push-button having a thickness; a chamber body having a substantially cylindrical cross-sectional profile and hollow form; a first portion of the chamber body having an external diameter and an internal diameter equal to or less than the maximum diameter of the plunger tip; a second portion of the chamber body having a channel having a width equal to or greater than the thickness of the anti-spin features of the plunger, the channel extending from a second end of the chamber body toward the first portion of the chamber body and terminating therebetween; the second end of the chamber body further comprising a clicker feature; a twisting sleeve having a substantially cylindrical bore, the bore having a first end with an opening having a diameter equal to or larger than the external diameter of the chamber body, and a second end of the bore having an opening having a diameter equal to or larger than the maximum diameter of the push-button; the twisting sleeve further comprising a clicker feature comprising a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending from the bore of the twisting sleeve; the first protrusion and second protrusion extending toward the first end of the twisting sleeve from the second end of the twisting sleeve and the protrusions being separated from each other by a distance equal to or greater than the thickness of the key of the push-button; a dispensing tip having a first end, a second end, and a pathway extending therebetween, the second end of the dispensing tip having a fixation feature for attaching the dispensing tip to a first end of the chamber body; the pathway comprising a first diameter consistent with the first end of the dispensing tip, a second diameter adjacent to the first diameter of the first diameter, and a third diameter adjacent to the second diameter of the pathway, the third diameter consistent with the second end of the dispensing tip; and the third diameter being equal to or less than the maximum diameter of the plunger tip, the second diameter being less than the third diameter, and the first diameter being less than the second diameter.
