An applicator system for extrusive dispensing of work material from a flexible pre-charged portion of a cartridge unit is provided. The system comprises a body portion having an actuator and a housing coupled thereto. The housing includes a cartridge bay and an arresting member displaceably coupled thereto. The cartridge bay is configured to receive the cartridge unit and defines at least one containment compartment for receiving the pre-charged cartridge. The arresting member is displaceable between open and closed configurations for releasably retaining the cartridge unit. The actuator, coupled to the housing in communication with the cartridge bay, includes a drive member engaging the pre-charged cartridge within the containment compartment. The body includes a handle and an activation member coupled thereto. The activation member is coupled to the actuator to selectively activate displacement of the drive member within the containment compartment responsive to user manipulation thereby compressing the pre-charged cartridge therein.

The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said arresting member defines a notched passage to receive an elongate dispensing tip portion of the cartridge unit therethrough when said arresting member is in the closed configuration to retain the cartridge unit within said cartridge bay. 3. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said housing portion includes a stop element configured to limit a range of motion of said arresting member in the open configuration at a position relative to said cartridge bay for unobstructed insertion of the cartridge unit into an open terminal end of said cartridge bay. 4. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said housing portion includes a bracket disposed about said cartridge bay, said arresting member being pivotally coupled to said bracket. 5. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said cartridge bay includes a plurality of containment members respectively defining a plurality of said containment compartments, said cartridge bay being thereby configured to receive a cartridge unit having a dispensing cap forming a mixer head and a plurality of pre-charged cartridge sections extending therefrom. 6. The applicator system as recited in claim 5, wherein each of said containment members defines a tubular structure forming a contiguous cylindrical inner wall surface about one said containment compartment. 7. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said housing portion includes a support handle coupled to project therefrom for two-handed operation. 8. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said actuator portion includes a pneumatic cylinder and at least one piston extending in axially displaceable manner therefrom to extend said containment compartment of said cartridge bay. 9. The applicator system as recited in claim 8, wherein said handle is adjustably attached to said pneumatic cylinder, said handle including: an inlet member for coupling to an external source of pressurized air; and,an air hose coupled extending between said handle and a regulator of said pneumatic cylinder to guide a stream of pressurized air received through said inlet member thereto, responsive to said activation member. 10. The applicator system as recited in claim 1, wherein said housing portion includes a level indicator disposed in displaceable manner over said cartridge bay, said level indicator being displaceable with said driving member to visually indicate the location thereof within said containment compartment. 11. An applicator system for extrusive dispensing of work material from flexible pre-charged portions of a cartridge unit, the system comprising: a body portion having an actuator portion and a housing portion coupled thereto;said housing portion including: a cartridge bay defining a plurality of containment members respectively defining a plurality of containment compartments each configured to receive and substantially enclose one flexible pre-charged cartridge of a cartridge unit in substantially conformed manner therein, the cartridge unit having a dispensing cap forming a mixer head and a plurality of pre-charged cartridge sections extending therefrom;a bracket secured about a terminal end region of said cartridge bay; and,an arresting member disposed forward of said cartridge bay and pivotally coupled to said bracket to be displaceable between open and closed configurations for releasable retention of the cartridge unit against forward escape from said cartridge bay, said arresting member in the open and closed configurations respectively opening and closing access to said containment compartment;said actuator portion coupled to said housing portion in communication with said cartridge bay, said actuator portion including a drive member engaging the flexible pre-charged cartridge within said containment compartment; and,said body portion including a handle and an activation member coupled thereto, said activation member being coupled to said actuator portion to selectively activate displacement of said drive member within said containment compartment responsive to user manipulation, said drive member being selectively driven thereby to compress the flexible pre-charged cartridge in a forward direction along and in direct contact with a surrounding inner surface of said containment compartment toward said arresting member. 12. The applicator system as recited in claim 11, wherein said arresting member defines a notched passage to receive an elongate dispensing tip portion of the cartridge unit therethrough when said arresting member is in the closed configuration to retain the cartridge unit within said cartridge bay. 13. The applicator system as recited in claim 11, wherein said housing portion includes a stop element configured to limit a range of motion of said arresting member in the open configuration at a position relative to said cartridge bay for unobstructed insertion of the cartridge unit into an open terminal end of said cartridge bay. 14. The applicator system as recited in claim 11, wherein each of said containment members defines a tubular structure forming a contiguous cylindrical inner wall surface about one said containment compartment. 15.
