Abstract
An incremental advance dispenser includes a barrel which has a longitudinal axis, a muzzle end, and an opposite breach end. A shuttle is slidably connected to the barrel and movable with respect to the barrel along the longitudinal axis. A cup which carries a product is movable within the barrel along the longitudinal axis. The shuttle is positionable to an extended position toward the muzzle end of the barrel, and to a retracted position toward the breach end of the barrel. Movement of the shuttle to the extended position from the retracted position causes the cup to move an incremental distance toward the muzzle end of the barrel.
