  • the invention relates to small containers with multiple compartments, preferably for storing, transporting and eventually triturating or intermixing the substances separately contained in the compartments.
  • Containers which provide separate compartments or spaces for the conditioning of preproportioned substances stored therein.
  • One of the compartments may, for example, hold a metallic powder while the other may hold mercury in readiness to be stored or mixed with the powder to produce a dental amalgam.
  • the filled compartments are separated by a partition or valve adapted to be operated from outside for the eventual mixing of the substances.
  • Pestles heretofore used in containers of the type described above-had cylindrical, rod or ball forms, and the time sufficient to intermix the amalgam by means of a vibrator with these kinds of pe'stles has ranged in the order of from 8 to 12 seconds, depending on the pestle weight.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved container with more efiective pestle action during the shaking period, such that the finished amalgam product will exhibit a high degree of consistency or homogeneity of its derivative substances.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved container having a pestle of greater mobility then heretofore obtained to effectively reduce the intermix times relatively to quantities of substances used.
  • a further object is to provide an improved container with a partition closure member which will assure a tight seal between the compartments when separate substances are contained in the latter during storing and transportation.
  • the present invention provides, according to one of its important features, an improved container having a pestle or partition of the character described in the novel form of a flat planar disk, al-
  • disk may display variations in profile including, for example, biconvex, biconcave or concavoconvex specimens.
  • These novel disks may preferably be made of a substantially rigid material, such as metal, or alternatively of a less rigid or even resiliently plastic material; they may have a thickness of several millimeters and their edges can also be rounded.
  • Containers as disclosed in the afore-mentioned copending application and patent are characterized by certain features and provisions which, taken either separately or in combination, may be adapted to the pres- 'ent exemplary embodiment of an improved container which uses the disk-shaped partition or pestle.
  • the containers comprise two compartments separated by a movable partition caught elastically between adjoining walls, and being adapted to be expelled by itself into one of the compartments, by the action of a.
  • One of the compartments may receive the partition, acting in fact as a pestle, for intimately mixing the two substances contained in the compartments.
  • the compartment into which is expelled the partition can be separated in two portions, fitting one on the other, either by sliding action or by conventional thread engagement.
  • the pusher is preferably constituted by the stern of a piston which traverses the wall of the compartment in which it slides, by way of an opening having a diameter sufficiently close to that of said compartment so that the pusher can be inserted in place, owing to the elasticity of its material or the wall surrounding it, by simple pressure.
  • the improved containers according to the present invention have diskshaped partitions or pestles, in conjunction with the just described features of the earlier invention.
  • the improved containers are constituted by two separable and interconnectable sections, each defining therein a'compartment adapted to receive a particular substance.
  • the disk-shaped partition in said sections between an initial or closing position, when in releasable frictional engagement with the upper container section, and a final or mixing position, when loosely contained within the lower container section.
  • a passage is provided in the upper section, leading from the upper compartment to the outside, and a pusher member insertable in said passage and sealingly slidable therein toward the partition'so as to unseat the same by pressure exerted by the intermediary of the upper compartment and the substance therein.
  • the upper container section may have one or more locking portions, in the form of annular grooves, ribs or spurs, adapted frictionally to hold the partition or disk in its closing position.
  • the container sections are made of a relatively resilient and elastic material, such as plastic.
  • the plastic container sections may have portions adapted for threaded or sliding interengagement therebetween.
  • At least one of the sections may be provided with preferably outer reinforcing portions for preventing collapsing and crushing of at least the lower compartment, particularly during transportation.
  • the pusher means may be provided with a head portion adapted to obturate the mouth of the lower compartment-when the pusher is forced or pushed into the upper container section.
  • the head portion may have a concave lower face, e.g., for complementary engagement with the outer surface of the disk constituting the partition.
  • Yet another feature relates to the expedient that the upper compartmentis'narrower than the lower compartment and has a smaller inner volume.
  • the metallic powder used for making the dental amalgams has a smaller volume than themercury with which it is intermixed in the larger lower compartment. The latter consequently has to be adapted to receive the volume of both initially introduced substances.
  • the inner diameter of the upper compartment is preferably the same or similar to the outer diameter of the pusher member and/or disk serving as a partitioning of the-substances once the pusher has been pushed in .and the disk dropped and
  • FIGS. 4a through 4f are side elevations, some sectional, of various disk-shaped partitions that can be used in the improved containers, illustrating a range of variations or profiles thereof.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the improved containers comprises an upper section 10, a lower section 20 and a pusher member 30 insertable in the open top of the upper section 10, as can be seen from the assembled view of FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the two sections can be slidingly engaged, in a liquid-tight manner, by way of respective sleeve-like terminal portions 12 and 22 which allow a close fit of the sections and 20.
  • Upper compartment 14 is formed within section 10, and lower compartment 24 in section 20, as shown in FIG. 2. Betweenthe compartments, a disk-shaped partition or valvemember 39 can be frictionally seated, for
  • inwardly projecting spurs 18 or a continuous ridge serve for tightly surrounding the pusher member 30 in the free end of the upper section 10.
  • the sections 10, 20 may be provided with outer ribs or reinforcing portions as shown in FIG. 1 at 19 and 29 for lending rigidity to the container, particularly in the area of the lower compartment 24.
  • the pusher member 30 has an upper portion 32 which is manually operable, and a lower portion 34 which may constitute an enlarged head, as shown.
  • the lower face of the pusher 30 may be made concave, as shown at 36, so as to complement the shape of the disk partition 39 and obturate the lower compartment 24 when completely pushed into the upper container section 10, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the pusher 30 may have an axial bore 38 in its top, primarily for saving material, although this expedient does not appreciably affect the operation of the container.
  • the filling of the device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be accomplished as follows: one starts with the assembled container, that is sections'lO, 20 which are interconnected with a sliding'fit, as shown, or by a thread (not illustrated).
  • the disk 39 and the pusher 30 are not yet 4 in place so that the compartments 14, 24 directly communicate with the outside by way of the passage or opening of upper section 10 (below the ridge or spurs at 18 and then take its place in the groove 16.
  • the filling-can of course also be carried out by separating the sections'10, 20, the disk 39 being then set in its place,as shown in FIG 2, e.g., in its seat 16.
  • the substance A is now introduced into the lower section 20, the sections 10, 20 are assembled, and the filling operation continues as has been explained before.
  • the container may now be vigorously shaken to bring about and assure the intimate mixing of the substances A and B.
  • A may be a metallic powder while B may be mercury, the mixing action resulting in an amalgam, suitable e.g., for dental purposes.
  • the special shape, including the planar or curved surfaces as well as the edges, of the disk 39 efiiciently assists in the thorough intermixing or trituration of the substances.
  • FIGS. 4a through 4f illustrate various shapes and profiles of partition means, in the form of disks 39a to 39f, the illustration of FIG. 4a being substantially identical with that of FIGS. 1 through 3. It will be seen that the disk-shaped partitions 39a to 39f may have one or two planar surfaces, and one or two concave and/or convex surfaces, found to be most efiicient in the speedy and efficient trituration of the substances.
  • the disks 3%, 39d and 39e have the previously described convex surface which can cooperate with the concave lower surface 36 of the pusher 30 while the disks 39c, 39d and 39f display a concave surface which actually increases the inner volume of the upper compartment 14 without alteration of the physical dimensions of the container.
  • the various disks are of course interchangeable and selectively usable in the improved containers as long as their diameters are identical and correspond to the appropriate inner diameter of the seating surface in the upper section (e.g., at the described annular groove 16).
  • the arrangement might also be reversed so that the lower surface of the pusher 30is made convex (not shown), to complement the upper surface of one of the disks 39c, 39d and 39f when properly inserted in the container.
  • the disk 39 exerts a pestle force by actively aiding in the intermixing of the substances. It has been observed through experiments that the trituration or intermixing of substances with the use of a disk is more efficacious than intermixing conducted with prior-art pestles including the ball-shaped type described in the own afore-mentioned invention. Moreover, the consistency and quality of an amalgam produced through trituration with a disk-shaped pestle have been found to be very much improved.
  • EXAMPLE 2 This Example repeated the just described Example 1 with the same pestles but using double the quantity of amalgam substances appportioned equally to the pestles. The physical characteristics were described in Example I, while the intermix times proved to be 15seconds for the ball and 1 I seconds for the disk.
  • EXAMPLE 3 This Example consists of a comparison between the intermix times required by two disks of differing weight, using the same quantity of amalgam substance. Two disks of 8 mm dia. and 3.5 mm thickness have been used, one being made of the afore-mentioned Teflon material, weighing 0.38 g, while the other was made of plexiglass, weighing 0.2 g. The intermix times were 10.5 and ll seconds, respectively, for the Teflon" and the plexiglass disks. This confirms that the pestle weight is a relatively negligible factor in the intermixing of amalgams with the use of disks.
  • a ball within the mixture exhibits a rotating or rolling action, when the container is shaken or vibrated, involving substantial friction between the contacting surfaces (ball and substances), while a disk, when the container is shaken, actually performs a paddle-like action, involving only minimum friction but resulting in a thorough intermixing or trituration of the substances.
  • amalgam completion times are known to consume 8 to 12 seconds, depending on the pestle weight.
  • the disk In itsuse as the partition or valve 'member during storing and/or transportation of the substances prior to mixing the disk can be made to assure an even tighter and virtually leak-proof seal between the compartments as by locating the annular groove not in the upper section but more precisely at the level of the juncture of the two compartments, whereby the disk will be frictionally held more firmly.
  • a plural-chamber admixing container comprising a sectional container body forming a first chamber, one section having a reduced neck bore extending therefrom and open at the end thereof, a movable disk I neck bore, the effective front surface of said plug and limited toamalgams but is applicable as well to the inhas been shown to be substantially cylindrical. Itwill be understood that it could be given any other configuration, complementing the inner passage of the upper container section, as long as a sliding fit can be assured, with a leak-proof engagement when the pusher member is completely pushed in.
  • the container sections themselves need not be cylindrical, as shown, although this is the easiest manner of manufacturing them, particularly from a plastic material.
  • a rectangular, octagonal or other cross section would work equally well for the inventive improved containers.
  • said one section includes a locking portion for said disk, formed by at least oneannular groove in its inner wall, and one of said disk and said groove is of a resilient material yielding when in frictional engagement with the other.
  • said plug has a head portion adapted to obturate the mouth of said first chamber when said plug is pushedinto said neck bore, and wherein said head portion has a concave lower face adapted to engage a substantially complementary convex upper face of said disk means.
  • a container for storing, transporting and intermixing pre-proportioned substances comprising a body having a first portion including a closed end defining a part of a mixing chamber for holding a first admixable substance and a second portion having an inner wall substantially free from indentations or protuberances defining a material containing chamber for communicating with said mixing chamber for holding a second admixable substance, a disk partition means having a thickness smaller than any other overall dimension and a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the mixing chamber held in a friction fit by the inner wall of one of said sections at the junction of said chambers and movable in said sections between an initial or closing position separating said chambers and a final or mixing position loosely contained within said mixing chamber, pusher means slidably positioned in said material containing chamber with the outer periphery of its inner end in sliding and sealing engagement with the wall thereof, said pusher means being movable from an initial position through the entire length of said material containing chamber to a final position with its inner end positioned substantially at
  • a container as in claim 8, wherein said disk has substantially planar upper and lower surfaces.
