          Application 08/063,202                                                      


               The appellants’ invention is directed to a dispensing device           
          for dispensing several viscous materials (claims 1, 3 through 14,           
          and 22), and to a method for so doing (claims 15 through 21).               
          The subject matter before us on appeal is best illustrated by               
          reference to claims 1 and 15, which can be found in an appendix             
          to the Brief.
