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 30):
A method of dispensing a flowable composition comprising:\n positioning a plunger of an applicator within a tube of the applicator such that a tip of the plunger is in a dispensed position; positioning a dispenser nozzle of an administering tool relative to the applicator and moving the tip of the plunger from the dispensed position to a loaded position; and loading the flowable composition into the tube of the applicator from the administering tool after the tip of the plunger is in the loaded position, wherein loading the flowable composition comprises moving the tip of the plunger from the loaded position to a filled position, wherein a distance between the tip of the plunger and a connector end of the tube in the loaded position is greater than a distance between the tip of the plunger and the connector end of the tube in the dispensed position and less than a distance between the tip of the plunger and the connector end of the tube in the filled position.
