Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cartridge, a piston and a syringe comprising such a cartridge and piston.
  • the invention relates to a new substantial D-shape for the cross-sections of cartridge compartments and corresponding pistons cooperating with such compartments.
  • Such substantial D-shape is particularly defined by a plurality of circle segments only.
  • Dental materials are often stored in packages from which they can be directly dispensed to a desired location.
  • the dental materials may be dispensed from the package on a pad or into a well and from there applied within a patient's mouth.
  • the dental materials may be placed into a patient's mouth directly from such a package.
  • Dental materials further are often prepared from two or more components that are mixed together just before use. Often the individual components are obtained as portions from larger packages, for example from tubes, bags or cartridges. There are packages on the market that allow manual or automatic dispensing of two or more components at desired amounts and at an appropriate ratio for mixing. Furthermore there are packages that allow dispensation of portions of readily mixed materials from individually stored components.
  • double-barrel syringes are used for storing and mixing two-component dental materials.
  • Such double-barrel syringes typically have two side by side tubular barrels from which the components of the dental material can be extruded by pushing pistons into the respective barrel.
  • D-shaped barrels which, arranged side by side, overall form one cylindrical structure as disclosed for example in U.S. Design Pat. No. 362,722.

  • Such different volume ratios preferably provide respective different mixing ratios of the components by use of the compartment and may be implemented by unequally sized D-shapes of the compartment cross-sections. circle segments together form a closed line defining the perimeter of the compartment cross-section.
  • circle segments join or are concatenated such that respective tangents of the two circle segments through the joint coincide.

  • the lip seal 26 / 27 is adapted to form a press fit with the cartridge wall forming the compartment in which the piston 26 / 27 is received.
  • the lip seal 26 / 27 is adapted to form a tight seal with the cartridge wall forming the compartment.
  • the lip seal 26 / 27 protrudes substantially funnel-shaped—although at a substantial D-shaped cross-section—with the funnel opening toward the free end of the lip seal 26 / 27 .
  • the piston 26 / 27 is preferably assembled within the respective compartment of the cartridge with the lip seal 26 / 27 oriented toward the respective component stored in the compartment. Accordingly pushing the piston 26 / 27 toward the component for dispensing the component causes the component to be pressurized and due to the pressure built up in the component the lip seal is preferably urged toward the cartridge wall that forms the compartment.
  • increasing pressure exerted to the component during pushing the piston 26 / 27 preferably causes the seal effect to increase. Therefore leakage during dispensation may be minimized.
  • a sealing effect (see arrows in the Figure) is provided along the entire circumference of the to a D-shaped lip seal having a cross-sectional shape which comprises a straight section.
  • the straight section of the lip seal may toward its middle portion—depending on the pressure built up in the component—provide only a small sealing effect or may even fail to provide any sealing effect so that leakage may occur.
  • Such insufficient sealing effect may particularly occur during storage of a cartridge during which the pressure, if any, within the compartments is low or even an underpressure is created due to temperature variations. Therefore the invention helps maximizing the sealing effect between a piston and a cartridge that are based on a substantially D-shaped configuration.
