Abstract

A dispenser, such as for a hot melt material, incorporates a platen which is movable into a container of material to be dispensed and incorporates a cartridge-type gear pump positioned centrally of the platen. The platen is carried on a support tube and the lower end of the support tube is provided with an opening through which the cartridge gear pump may be inserted or removed from the platen without the necessity of otherwise disturbing the platen.
