Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a push-out gun for double-wall cartridges consisting of a manually operated pistol grip, a trough-shaped half-shell, a piston rod slidably mounted therein and a substantially circular push-out plate arranged at the front end of the piston rod.
  • Squeeze guns for cartridges which generally contain pasty masses, are widely used to replace aerosol-operated pressure cans.
  • the cartridge is inserted into the half-tub of the squeeze gun in such a way that its displaceable piston is acted upon by the squeeze plate of the squeeze gun, which in turn squeezes the pasty mass through the advance of the piston rod when the pistol grip is actuated.
  • a squeeze gun is not suitable for simultaneously squeezing two pasty masses contained in a double wall cartridge.
  • Such a double wall cartridge is described in DE-OS 38 14 633 by the applicant. It is a container for pasty masses consisting of a cylindrical housing which is divided into two separate chambers by a longitudinally arranged partition wall, an outlet opening being provided in the upper end of each chamber and a semicircular piston being provided in each chamber is, which is displaceable in the direction of the outlet opening.
  • Several ribs are provided on the underside of the piston and a sealing lip is arranged along the outer edge of the piston crown.
  • a manually operated sealing gun which is used to squeeze out a double-walled cartridge cal serves, with a trough-shaped half-shell is arranged on the front side of a manually operated pistol grip.
  • a piston rod Parallel to a transport rod, a piston rod is fastened via a yoke, with half a piston disc each at the front ends of the transport rod and the piston rod, so that when the transport rod and the piston rod are actuated simultaneously, the two components are pressed out of the double-wall cartridge at the same time.
  • a disadvantage of this known sealing gun is that at the high pressures required to move the pasty masses in the chambers of the double-wall cartridges, the individual cartridge chambers expand laterally, since this lies loosely in the trough-shaped half-shell and is usually made of a flexible material.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a squeeze gun for double-wall cartridges with which a precise simultaneous squeezing out of the paste-like masses contained in the two chambers is ensured and with which irregular widenings of the outer wall of the cartridge are avoided with certainty.
  • the punches are advantageously arranged in the form of a cylinder jacket section and are fastened to the tube sheet coaxially with the tube.
  • the tube is made of aluminum, the outer diameter of which is adapted to the inner diameter of the tub and the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the double-wall cartridge to be pressed out.
  • the one-sided open cylindrical tube with the two punches arranged in it has the advantage that it is pushed continuously from the ejection plate of a conventional ejection gun over the double-wall cartridge, the somewhat offset piston ends acting on the semicircular piston heads of the two chambers;
  • the two semicircular pistons move in the direction of the ejection opening, with no expansion to the outside at the places where the wall of the double-wall cartridge is subjected to the greatest stress, since this certainly prevents due to the cylindrical tube which encloses the double-wall cartridge becomes.
  • the advantage is achieved that it can also be used for other conventional squeeze guns, so that double-wall cartridges can also be squeezed precisely with these known squeeze guns.
  • a section through a double-wall cartridge 1 is shown, which is provided with two outlet openings 2, 3 and a mixing tip which can be screwed thereon, if necessary.
  • the double wall cartridge 1 is divided by a partition 4 into two semicircular chambers, in each of which a pasty mass is arranged.
  • the bottom of the double-wall cartridge 1 is closed by two semicircular pistons 5 which can be displaced in the direction of the outlet opening, the bottom side of each piston being able to be provided with a multiplicity of reinforcing rings 10, as shown in particular in FIG. 3b.
  • a conventional one which consists of a manually operated pistol grip, a trough-shaped half-shell, a piston rod slidably mounted therein and an essentially circular ejection plate arranged at the front end of the piston rod, is open on one side cylindrical tube 6 is inserted, in which two spaced stamps 8, 9 are fastened.
  • the cylindrical tube 6 is closed at its end 7 assigned to the ejection plate of the ejection gun, the two punches 8, 9, the length of which is shorter than that of the cylindrical tube 6, being fastened to this base.
  • the two punches 8, 9 can, as shown in Fig. 2, have the shape of a cylinder jacket section, wherein they are arranged at a distance from each other such that the partition 4 of the double wall cartridge 1 can engage in the gap formed between them.
  • the cylindrical tube 6 can advantageously consist of aluminum, the outer diameter of which is adapted to the inner diameter of the trough-shaped half-shell of the spray gun and the inner diameter of which is adapted to the outer diameter of the double-wall cartridge 1 to be pressed out.
  • cylindrical tube 6 can be used in all conventional squeeze guns with appropriate dimensions, so that double wall cartridges can also be squeezed out with it.
