Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bayonet fastening device for the attachment of an accessory to a dispensing device, in particular for the attachment of a mixer to a two-component cartridge, according to the introduction of claim 1 or 2.
  • US-A-5,228,599 discloses a multiple dispensing cartridge having a mixer attached thereto with the aid of a coupling nut having an internal thread, wherein each storage cylinder ends in a dispensing opening which forms a side by side outlet, whereas the inlet of the mixer is not defined.
  • the mixer is put on the cartridge and secured by a coupling nut via an external thread at the cartridge.
  • Another cross contamination situation can occur when a clean mixer or accessory inlet area or closure plugs are able to make any form of incorrect alignment contact, such as by angular tipping, with the chemical components at the cartridge outlet area during the process of initial placing of the mixer or closure plugs against the cartridge in preparation for attachment. In that case, when fitting the same mixer or closure plugs in the correct position, it is possible to now chemically contaminate the outlets of the cartridge. Again, this can cause plugging and a reaction back into and within the cartridge.
  • bayonet attachment means of the prior art have, in common, that the bayonet prongs of the cartridge are relatively small and therefore of limited structural rigidity and strength. This allows the possibility of distortion and is of greater significance due to the trend towards smaller mixer diameters and therefore high backpressures, the result being leakage at the mixer to cartridge sealing interface during dispensing.
  • Figs. 1-6 show a first embodiment of the invention with a rotatable mixer housing, wherein
  • Figs. 7-13 show a second embodiment of the invention comprising a coupling ring, wherein
  • Figs. 14-19 show a third embodiment of the invention with a locking ring permanently attached to the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 20-25 show three embodiments of a closure cap for the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 26-28 show an alternative embodiment of the invention with a ring-shaped bayonet socket at the rotatable mixer housing, wherein
  • Figs. 29-31 show a further embodiment of the invention with a ring-shaped bayonet socket at the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 32-34 show a further embodiment of the invention with a ring-shaped bayonet socket at the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 35-37 show an further embodiment of the invention with a sector-shaped bayonet socket at the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 38-40 show an alternative embodiment of the invention with a sector-shaped bayonet socket at the cartridge, wherein
  • Figs. 41-44 show a further embodiment of the invention with a coupling ring, wherein
  • Figs. 45-47 show a further embodiment of the invention with a sector-shaped bayonet socket at the mixer, wherein
  • Figs. 48-58 show several further coding means at both the cartridge and the mixer for preventing cross-contamination by erroneous attachment of the mixer onto the cartridge, wherein
  • Fig. 1-2 shows a mixer 1 comprising a mixer housing 2, a mixer element group 3, the mixer outlet 4 and a mixer inlet section 5 with two separated inlet parts 6 and 7 which are integral with a properly aligned separating element 3S of the mixer element group 3.
  • This mixer is attached to the cartridge by matching the mixer different width bayonet lugs 10, 11 to the different width bayonet sockets 19, 20 while pressing the mixer onto the cartridge and by rotating the mixer housing 2, whereas the separated inlet parts 6 and 7, the mixer element group 3 with the separating element 3S do not rotate.
  • Separating element 3S serving in this embodiment as a separating means for guiding each chemical component separatedly to the first dividing element 3D of the mixer element group 3.
  • the mixer housing is provided with longitudinal ribs 8 which end at the larger diameter 9 of the mixer housing 2, the two lateral ends of which are formed as bayonet lugs 10 and 11 cooperating with the bayonet retaining means of the cartridge.
  • the two lugs do not have the same width, lug 10 being larger than lug 11.
  • the different width of the lugs enable a coded alignment and attachment of the mixer to the cartridge.
  • the mixer element group 3 is connected to the separated inlet parts 6 and 7 and is disposed in such a way within the housing that the housing itself is rotatable around the mixer element group with attached inlet parts 6 and 7 which are arranged at the inlet side of the first mixer element 3S serving in this embodiment as a separating means for guiding each component separately to the first dividing element 3D of the mixer element group 3.
  • the cartridge 12 comprises two cylindrical containers 13 of equal cross-sectional areas for a 1:1 metering ratio ending in two individual, separate cylindrical and distanced outlets 14 and 15.
  • the outside shapes of the distanced outlets 14 and 15 of the cartridge correspond to the respective inside shapes of the separate inlets 6 and 7 of the mixer, see Fig. 1, whereby the inlets of the mixer fit over the outlets of the cartridge for tightly sealed connections.
  • a reverse arrangement, where the inlet parts 6 and 7 fit into the outlet openings 14 and 15 is also possible.
  • the bayonet means 16 at the cartridge comprises a ring-shaped bayonet socket 17 with two internal recesses 18 and a circular opening with two diametrically opposed different width bayonet cut outs 19 and 20 for receiving the corresponding different width bayonet lugs 10 and 11, see Fig. 1, of the mixer, allowing coded introduction of the mixer in one predetermined position only.
  • the flange parts 21 adjacent to the cut outs serve as bayonet retaining means for securing the lugs of the mixer.
  • the ring-shaped bayonet means provides, in particular, for increased strength of the bayonet retaining means and increased structural rigidity of the outlet end of the cartridge when, during dispensing, the hydraulic forces transmitted from the attached mixer are at a maximum. This arrangement is a substantial improvement in comparison with the prior art bayonet prongs.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show a variant to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1-4 in that the containers 22 and 23 of cartridge 24 have different cross-sectional areas for metering ratios other than 1:1.
  • the mixer in order to attach the mixer to the cartridge, the mixer can only be aligned with its bayonet lug widths corresponding to the different width cut outs of the bayonet sockets, then pressed onto the cartridge such that when the mixer is in place and the outlets and inlets are connected, the mixer housing 2 is rotated by 90° for the engagement of the bayonet lugs 10, 11 in the bayonet retaining means 21 of the cartridge.
  • This attachment method prevents contamination of one component by the other at the mixer-cartridge interface yet enabling a quick coded attachment of the mixer.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 show in a second embodiment a mixer 25 comprising a mixer housing 26, a mixer element group 3, a mixer outlet 4 and a mixer inlet section 27.
  • This mixer is fixed to the cartridge 35, see Fig. 9, with the aid of a separate coupling ring 31, see Figs. 11 and 12.
  • the coupling ring 31 is provided with two bayonet lugs 32 and 33 corresponding to the bayonet cut outs 19, resp. 20 of the bayonet attachment means 16 at the cartridge and, for better manual gripping, ribs 34 on the outer cylindrical surface.
  • the mixer inlet section 27 comprises two cylindrical, individual inlet openings 28, 29 at the inlet side face of the first mixer element 3S serving in this embodiment as a separating means for guiding each component separately to the first dividing element 3D of the mixer element group 3.
  • a slot 30 provides for a coded alignment of the mixer in regard to a cartridge.
  • Cartridge 35 is the same as cartridge 1 of Fig. 1 with the exception that the bottom of the bayonet attachment means 16 comprises a nose piece 36 corresponding to the slot 30 at the mixer, see Figs. 7 and 8, for coded alignment of the mixer.
  • Fig. 13 shows a mixer 38 attached to a cartridge 75 having containers 76 and 77 with different cross-sectional areas, as a variant to the embodiment shown in Figs. 5-12 in that the mixer inlet section 37 of mixer 38 has a separating means within the mixer which comprises separated inlet chambers 39, resp. 40 having different cross-sectional areas, and lodged within a smaller combined diameter than the cartridge outlet with corresponding openings for each chamber for material to pass through.
  • the aforementioned separating means serves to maintain separation of the material flows up to the first dividing element 3D of the mixer element group 3.
  • This separating means can have chambers with equal cross-sectional areas or have a cross-sectional area ratio other than 1:1.
  • the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the separating chambers can be adapted to the cross-sectional areas of the containers 76 and 77 of cartridge 75, resp. to its metering ratio.
  • the separating means is fixedly connected to the mixer element group 3.
  • the cartridge 75 has the same attaching means as in Figs. 5 and 6, and the mixer 38 is attached to the cartridge by means of the coupling ring 31.
  • the third embodiment of the invention according to the Figs. 14-19 comprises a locking ring 51 which is snapped onto and permanently attached to the cartridge 42.
  • the cartridge 42 comprises two cylindrical containers 43 of equal cross-sectional area, two distanced outlets 45 and 46, and an attaching means 47 for attaching a locking ring and for limiting its rotational movement.
  • the form of the attaching means 47 is a circular edge 49 with two lugs 44 of same width and arranged around the two distanced outlets with a circular undercut 48 at its base.
  • the locking ring 51 snaps over circular edge 49 of the attaching means of the cartridge and remains attached to it.

  • the single bar 227 and the double bar 228 of the mixer inlet part are arranged in accordance to those of the cartridge such that introduction and attachment of the mixer onto the cartridge is only possible in one position.
  • the coded alignment can be facilitated by visual coding means, e.g. the marking 153 at the cartridge, opposite the protrusion and the marking 154 at the lug of the mixer near the coding protrusion.
  • the mixer inlets and the cartridge outlets may be either female or male respectively and it follows also that it is possible to provide the mixer with one female and one male inlet fitting over/into the corresponding male/female outlet of the cartridge.
  • This latter arrangement provides for a further coding means since only one position is possible for matching the mixer or closure means to the cartridge.
  • This mixed arrangement of coding and coding means is independent from the manner of attachment with a coupling ring, locking ring or rotatable mixer housing.
  • Cartridges separated with one single wall e.g. according to U.S. Patent No. 5,333,760, cannot exclude chemical migration through such a single wall separation barrier and therefore separation at the cartridge outlets is not sufficient to prevent migration and therefore a reaction within the cylinders during storage.
  • the invention however, is not limited to air gap separated containers and applies as well to cartridges with containers separated by one single wall according to Fig. 3.
  • the inventive cartridge to accessory attachment combination provides in particular for cartridge containers separated by an air gap up to and including the individual outlets and for a port to port coded alignment for same or dissimilar size ports, with no cross-contamination caused by rotation or random attachment, while maintaining separation past the interface and well into the mixer, so as to hinder the spreading of any possible reaction and plugging of the components at the interface and back into the cartridge outlets.
  • This combination also provides optimization of the mixing performance especially, but not uniquely, for ratios other than 1:1.
  • the principle of coded attachment ensures both the correctly aligned connection of a mixer or accessory to cartridge outlets since only one position of the mixer or accessory is possible and, in the case of the re-connection of mixer or closure cap to a cartridge, eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination.
