Abstract:
A dispensing system includes a container containing a flowable base formulation to be dispensed, an additive mixing device, and an actuable pump engine which draws the flowable base formulation from the container and pumps it through the mixing device. The additive mixing device includes a body with an internal cavity, an additive ingredient within the cavity, and a flow path/mixing chamber between an input and an output. With each pump of the device the additive ingredient is introduced into, and mixed with, a flow of the base formulation traveling through the mixing device. Multiple additive mixing devices may be interchangeable for different formulations, and the mixing devices may be refillable.
Abstract:
Provided is a two-component mixing container in which a piston member may be capable of a rotation motion operation and a linear motion operation without the need for a complex guide groove. Two or more spring structure portions are provided at the piston member. The two or more spring structure portions impart a pressing force on an inner wall surface of the third cylindrical portion. Two or more fitting grooves are formed in the third cylindrical portion. In this fitting state, the piston member and a second-component containing member rotate together without contact portions getting out of the fitting grooves. When a force of a predetermined level or higher toward a third bottom wall portion is applied to an operating rod portion with a second-component containing chamber and a mixing chamber being communicable with each other, the contact portions get out of the fitting grooves.
Abstract:
A mixing device produces a multi-component mixture, in particular for medical applications, and has at least one first component and one second component, whereby the first component is a pasty fluid mass, whereby the mixing device has a housing having at least one first opening and a hollow body, whereby the hollow body has an internal space that contains the second component, and the mixing device has a feed plunger for expelling the second component from the internal space of the hollow body, whereby the hollow body has a thread and the feed plunger has a counter-thread that engages the thread of the hollow body, and the mixing device has a propulsion element that is arranged inside the housing, whereby the propulsion element converts a flow of the first component through the housing into a rotary motion, whereby the rotary motion of the propulsion element screws the feed plunger into the internal space of the hollow body, and whereby the second component can thus be extruded from the hollow space into the fluid flow of the first component.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dispensing device (1), with at least one container (2, 2a, 2b; 100) for the accommodation of components to be dispensed, with an applicator (3, 30; 108) which can be releasably fixed to and/or on the at least one container (2 2a, 2b; 100), and with a coupling means (4, 18; 106) for releasable fixing of the applicator (3, 30; 108) to at least one container (2, 2a, 2b; 100). The coupling means (4, 18; 106) has at least one spring arm (18), which has a radially pivotable free end (19) for locking the applicator (3, 30; 108) in place on at least one container (2, 2a, 2b; 100), and comprises a moveable locking ring (4; 107).
Abstract:
A system and method for providing custom colored sealant are generally provided with a dispensing container, containing a quantity of sealant base solution. A nozzle, is shaped and sized to be removably secured with an open end portion of the dispensing container. A supplemental container is provided that contains a quantity of sealant thickener. A transfer pipette may be provided for selectively transferring a coloring agent to the dispensing container. The coloring agent may be mixed with the sealant base solution by agitating the dispensing container, until a desired color is attained. The sealant thickener may then added and mixed by similar agitation of the dispensing container. The nozzle is then coupled with the dispensing container and the custom-colored sealant is ready to be dispensed.
Abstract:
A dispenser having a fluid reservoir (R) and a dispenser member (D) mounted on the reservoir (R), the reservoir (R) forming a cylinder (11) and including a piston (2; 2′) that slides in the cylinder (11) so as to decrease the working volume of the reservoir (R). The leaktight slide cylinder (11) contains a separator element (3a) that divides the reservoir into two compartments (Ri, Rs), namely a lower compartment (Ri) that is defined between the piston (2; 2′) and the separator element (3a), and an upper compartment (Rs) that is defined between the separator element (3a) and the dispenser member (D). The separator element (3a) includes at least one through hole (33) that puts the two compartments (Ri, Rs) into communication with each other, the separator element moving in the leaktight slide cylinder in response to the dispenser member being actuated by pressing on the pusher.
Abstract:
A device for dispensing a sealant or other material. The device has a housing containing a chamber with a dispensing orifice at a first end and an actuation opening at a second end opposite the first end. The chamber contains a mixing paddle which can be rotated and translated back and forth inside the chamber; a piston; and a membrane with an open end in fluid communication with the actuation opening. The membrane is arranged such that it can be inflated by injecting fluid into its open end via the actuation opening, inflation of the membrane causing it to press against the piston and push the piston towards the mixing paddle and the dispensing orifice which in turn forces the material past the mixing paddle and out of the dispensing orifice.

Abstract:
A system and method for providing custom colored sealant are generally provided with a dispensing container, containing a quantity of sealant base solution. A bottom wall of the dispensing container is positioned to limit any headspace within the interior of the dispensing container until the contents are ready to be mixed. The bottom wall is moved prior to adding a coloring agent to the dispensing container, which is mixed with the sealant base by agitating the dispensing container, until a desired color is attained. A sealant thickener may then be added and mixed by similar agitation of the dispensing container. A rod may be provided to engage and move the bottom wall. A pull string may also be provided to move the bottom wall. A nozzle is then coupled with the dispensing container and the custom-colored sealant is ready to be dispensed.
