The present invention relates to a fluid material dispensing apparatus 10. The fluid material dispensing apparatus 10 is hand-held and comprises a hand-held main body 12, a cartridge module 14 and a cartridge 16. The hand-held main 12 body comprises a user control 18 and supports an electric motor. The electric motor operates in dependence on user operation of the user control. The cartridge module 14 is removably received within the main body 12. The cartridge module 14 supports a transmission which engages with the electric motor when the cartridge module is received within the main body whereby torque from the electric motor is coupled to the transmission. The cartridge 16 is removably received within the cartridge module 14. The cartridge 16 comprises a rigid cartridge body 30 and a compressible container 32 supported by the cartridge body. The compressible container 32 contains fluid material which is ejected from the compressible container upon its compression. The transmission engages with the compressible container when the cartridge is received within the cartridge module to compress the compressible container as torque is coupled to the transmission from the electric motor when the cartridge module is received within the main body, whereby fluid material is ejected from the compressible container and dispensed from the fluid material dispensing apparatus.La présente invention concerne un appareil de distribution de matériau fluide (10).
