a piano-cylindrical protrusion (4) developing coaxially with respect to said cylinder (2) of said syringe (1) constituting said apical extrusion port (4), said piano-cylindrical protrusion (4) having a smaller diameter with respect to said cylinder (2) constituting a circumferential notch (8) on whose top part there are obtained reliefs (9);
a rotatable cutting element (10) constituted by a piano-cylindrical ringlike body (11) radially provided with handling fins (12) adapted to be associated - in a complementary fashion - around said extrusion port (4) and rotatably assembled therein to interface said circumferential notch (8) through internal grooves (13) axially interacting with the reliefs (9) of the notch (8);
a cutting septum (14) occluding - on a base - said ring-like piano- cylindrical body (10) of said rotatable cutting device (10) preferably made of metal and multi-perforated (15) with arrangement of the holes (15) equal to that of said holes (6) of said die (5);
a plurality of reliefs (16) projecting on the external face of said cutting septum (14) angularly staggered at bisector with respect to the development of the radial lines of the holes (15) of the same cutting septum (14) and arranged at said holes (6) of said die (5) as well as adapted to occlude the latter by tilting the face of said rotatable cutting element (10);
a linear actuator or pusher element (17), for example a suitably dimensioned manually activated handgun-like element of the type similar to the pusher element of the syringe-like plunger used in other technological sectors, for example silicone sealing paste, possibly adapted to embrace the syringe or cartridge (1) and exert pressure on the plunger (3) to translate it in the latter and compress the pasta (7) towards and against the extrusion port (4) and through the holes (6) of the die (5). 7) Device according to any one of claims four, five or six, characterised in that said multi-perforated (6) die (5) of the extrusion port (4) is interchangeable between a variable series in terms of arrangement and shape of the holes (6) for example through fastening and unfastening ability of the apical portion of the cylinder (2) hence allowing replacing the extrusion port (4) with a cap and vice versa.
8) Device according to any one of claims four to seven, characterised in that the linear actuator (17) for the translation of the plunger is constituted by a manually or automatically actuated screw.
