Abstract

The specification relates to an apparatus for a dispensing apparatus. The dispensing apparatus can include a cap assembly, the cap assembly including a plug and a first section of a first locking mechanism; a barrel assembly, the barrel assembly including a barrel body, a dispensing tip, a second section of the first locking mechanism and a first section of the second locking mechanism; and a riser assembly, the riser assembly including a bottom shell, a screw assembly and a first section of the second locking mechanism.

1 . A dispensing apparatus comprising:
 a cap assembly, the cap assembly including a plug and a first section of a first locking mechanism;   a barrel assembly, the barrel assembly including a barrel body, a dispensing tip, a second section of the first locking mechanism and a first section of the second locking mechanism; and   a riser assembly, the riser assembly including a bottom shell, a screw assembly and a first section of the second locking mechanism.   
     
     
         2 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the first section of a first locking mechanism interfaces with the second section of the first locking mechanism to removably lock the cap assembly to the barrel assembly. 
     
     
         3 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the plug is inserted into an aperture of the dispensing tip when the cap is removably locked to the barrel assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the cap assembly and the barrel assembly form a tight seal so that medium does not escapes from the barrel body. 
     
     
         5 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing tip includes an aperture for delivering a medium to user. 
     
     
         6 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing tip includes a delivery nozzle attached to the barrel body, an applicator valve and a retaining cap. 
     
     
         7 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the applicator valve is a flexible silicon. 
     
     
         8 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing tip includes an attachment portion integrated into the barrel body, a delivery nozzle, an applicator valve and a retaining cap. 
     
     
         9 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the applicator valve is a flexible silicon. 
     
     
         10 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the first section of a second locking mechanism interfaces with the second section of the second locking mechanism to rotatably secures the barrel assembly to the riser assembly. 
     
     
         11 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the riser assembly rotates with respect to the barrel assembly thereby allowing the medium to flow to the aperture of the barrel assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the screw assembly including a riser and a screw. 
     
     
         13 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 12  wherein a shape of the riser allows the barrel body to be fully or near-fully evacuated when the riser is fully extended on the screw and within the dispensing tip. 
     
     
         14 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 12  wherein a stop step on the screw limits a starting point for riser thereby reducing a fill volume for the barrel body. 
     
     
         15 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a third locking mechanism with a first section of the third locking mechanism being located on the bottom shell and a second section of the third locking mechanism being located on the screw assembly. 
 
     
     
         16 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 15  wherein the third locking mechanism fixedly secures the bottom shell to the screw assembly. 
     
     
         17 . The dispensing apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the bottom shell and the screw assembly are an integrated single piece.
