Definitions

  • This invention has as its object a device to maintain separate until the moment of use, within a cartridge, tube or the like, two different substances that are liquid, paste or solid, in powder or granular form and particularly two-component resins, to mix them at the moment of use and distribute them.
  • FR-A-2129178 discloses, for the same purpose, a device having the shape of a syringe in which is introduced a cylindrical container for one of the two components to be mixed at the moment of use, the body of the syringe containing the other component.
  • the plunger breaks initially only the front base of the container, mixes the two components, then breaks the back base of said container and expels the mixture from the output opening of the syringe.
  • the need to break the front and the back bases of the container in two different steps requires complicated means to control the stroke of the plunger.
  • the device comprises a cartridge, tube or the like 1 preferably of rigid or flexible resins, or aluminium, inside of which is placed a container 26 of glass or fragile synthetic resin, so that its walls can be easily broken either by manually or mechanically compression of the walls of the cartridge 1, or by a slidable rod 5 through a hole or diaphragm 35 of a piston 39, and causing container 26 to be penetrated by said rod, breaking it.
  • Container 26 contains, for example, one of the components of a two-component resin, while the container 26 is surrounded by the other component. When container 26 is broken at the moment of use, the two resin components are mixed and distributed via opening 2.
  • Rod 5 provided with a handle 11, is preferably pointed and threaded at its front end 5′, so that at the end of travel it can be screwed into a threading 28 of a disk 27.
  • fine flexible circular teeth can substitute the threading which are deformed when rod 5 is thrust into or removed from threading 28 of disk 27 or complementary recesses.
  • the teeth are supposed only to resist the agitation force (the resistance is less than that of machine grease) and should be deformed by a jerk of the hand.
  • This disk can act as a piston to mix the two components, especially when they are not fluid, i.e. are gelatinous or pasty. When they are fluid, the agitation can occur simply by shaking the cartridge 1 and disk 27 can also be absent.
  • the disk is provided with reinforcing fins 27′ and 27 ⁇ (figures 1 and 3) and holding lips 27′′′ as shown in figure 2, or simply provided with numerous holes, or is screened.
  • the underlying piston 39 to which perforable the cap 33 is screwed, in this case acts as a guide for rod 5.
  • Rod 5 can be provided at its end 5′ with deformable blades or capillaries either to facilitate introduction and extraction of piston 39 through the hole or to obtain a forced agitation.
  • container 26 is provided with an externally threaded neck 26′ which is screwed into the complementary threading of the coaxial hole of piston 39.
  • piston 39 acts as a support for container 26, and cap 33, perforable by rod 5, closes the opening of container 26.
  • Figure 5 shows a further variant, similar to the preceding one, but with cap 33 in a different shape, which can be seen better in figure 6.
  • piston 39 is provided, for perfect sealing, with a flexible widening 39′ and a V gasket 30, 30′ replacing a normal O ring.

5. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3 oder 4, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Behälter (26) einen mit einem Außengewinde versehenen Hals (26′) aufweist, der in ein Gegengewinde eines axialen Loches (37) des Führungskolbens (39) geschraubt wird, wobei der Kolben an seinem vorderen Ende mit einem Dichtungsring (39′), der sich nach außen weitet, um die Abdichtung zu gewährleisten, und wenigstens einem V-Dichtungsring (30, 30′) versehen ist, der in einer Umfangsrille (36) des Kolbens angebracht ist.
