Abstract:
A rotary member having a discharge orifice for dispensing an annular bead of puttylike material upon rotation; the rotary member is mounted for reciprocal movement into and out of a retainer thereby closing and opening the orifice. A material receiving recess in the rotary member is connected to the orifice by a transfer passage. The recess is connected to a supply of material which fills it when the orifice is positioned inside the retainer. It is disconnected from the supply when the orifice is outside the retainer for dispensing at which time any material contained in the recess flows through the transfer passage and is dispensed at the orifice upon rotation of the rotary member.
