The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing materials stored inside a cartridge (14), for example a 1K- or a 2K-cartridge (14), with the dispenser (10) comprising a receiving space (12) for repeatedly receiving a cartridge (14), for example a solid cartridge or a flexible cartridge in a support sleeve, at least one piston (20) connected to respectively connectable to a piston driving mechanism (22), e.g. a rack or rod (23) moveable through the receiving space (12) for urging a material stored in the cartridge (14) along a dispensing axis (D) towards an outlet (18) of the cartridge (14) for dispensing said material stored therein, the support sleeve (16), and a handle (24) comprising a trigger (26) for activating the movement of the piston driving mechanism (22), e.g. the rack or rod (23) of the dispenser (10) along the dispensing axis (D), characterized in that the receiving space (12) is formed by a frame (28), with the frame (28) being configured to hold the support sleeve (16) during dispense, and in that the receiving space (12) further comprises a pivot mechanism (30) configured to act between the frame (28) and the support sleeve (16) such that the support sleeve (16) can pivot about a pivot axis (P) aligned perpendicularly to the dispensing axis (D) from a first position, i.e. a storing and/or dispensing position, to a second position, i.e. a loading position, and vice versa.
