Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
An extruder for a fluid material comprising: a casing for holding a cartridge containing a fluid material and having an end thereof arranged to be pushed so as to extrude the fluid material contained in said cartridge; a plurality of pushing members for pushing said end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material, said pushing members extending in parallel along a direction in which the cartridge end is pushed; a driving means for driving the pushing members to move successively in the direction of pushing the end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material; and a displacement restraint means for restraining a subsequent pushing member from displacement toward the pushing direction and restrained by a smaller force than a driving force applied to a preceding pushing member when the preceding pushing member is driven to move in the pushing direction by the driving means; each of said pushing members having a rack formed on a side thereof facing in the same direction; and said driving means comprises a pinion positioned to mesh with the rack of the preceding pushing member to move it in the pushing direction when the subsequent pushing member is in its initial position.

Dependent Claim
203 words
An extruder for a fluid material comprising: a casing for holding a cartridge containing a fluid material and having an end thereof arranged to be pushed so as to extrude the fluid material contained in said cartridge; a plurality of pushing members for pushing said end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material, said pushing members extending in parallel along a direction in which the cartridge end is pushed; a driving means for driving the pushing members to move successively in the direction of pushing the end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material; and a displacement restraint means for restraining a subsequent pushing member from displacement toward the pushing direction and restrained by a smaller force than a driving force applied to a preceding pushing member when the preceding pushing member is driven to move in the pushing direction by the driving means; each of said pushing members having a rack formed on a side thereof facing in the same direction; and said driving means comprises a pinion positioned to mesh with the rack of the preceding pushing member to move it in the pushing direction when the subsequent pushing member is in its initial position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
An extruder as recited in claim 1, wherein said pushing members comprise two members which are so arranged that one of the two members which is to be first driven is partially enclosed circumferentially by the other member which is to be secondly driven.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
An extruder as recited in claim 1, wherein said displacement restraint means is a spring associated with the pushing member other than the pushing member to be first driven.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An extruder as recited in claim 1, wherein said driving means further comprises: a detent to be fitted into a concave portion formed on a preceding pushing member, said detent disposed in a subsequent pushing member to be swingable about an axis perpendicular to the pushing direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
180 words
An extruder for a fluid material comprising: a casing for holding a cartridge containing a fluid material and having an end thereof arranged to be pushed so as to extrude the fluid material contained in said cartridge; a plurality of pushing members for pushing said end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material, said pushing members extending in parallel along a direction in which the cartridge end is pushed; a driving means for driving the pushing members to move successively in the direction of pushing the end of the cartridge so as to extrude the fluid material; and a displacement restraint means for restraining a subsequent pushing member from displacement toward the pushing direction and restrained by a smaller force than a driving force applied to a preceding pushing member when the preceding pushing member is driven to move in the pushing direction by the driving means; said pushing members comprising two members with the member to be first driven being positioned within and partially enclosed circumferentially by the other member which is to be secondly driven.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
180 words
