  • Patent number: 7320398
    Abstract: A device can be especially designed for storing and dispensing dental materials. The device comprises a container comprising a first and a second film which form at least one first chamber for receiving a first substance and a recess that is separated from the chamber and serves to remove the first substance. The separation area between the recess and the first chamber is provided with a passage area that can be opened in a selective manner. The first chamber contains at least one additional container.

  • Patent number: 6715645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mixing capsule, especially for producing dental materials. The inventive capsule is provided with a cartridge which is closed on one end thereof by means of a piston. A hemispherical cavity is configured in the piston. Said cavity forms an additional chamber and is closed in relation to the main chamber of the cartridge by means of a separating device. A body that is present in the main chamber in the initial state serves for supporting the mixing process and for chopping through the separating device at the beginning of the mixing process in such a way that the main chamber and the additional chamber form a coherent mixing chamber. The body enters the hemispherical additional chamber and acts as a displacing body at the end of the output process. The mixing capsule is provided with a coding.

  • Patent number: 6543611
    Abstract: A mixer capsule, especially for the production of dental materials, comprising a cartridge (10) that is closed on one end by a piston (12). The piston has a hemispherical recess (12) that forms a chamber and is closed off from the main chamber (18) of the cartridge (10) by means of a separating device (16). A body (20) that is provided in the initial state in the main chamber (18) is used to facilitate the mixing process and to penetrate the separating device (16) at the beginning of the process, whereby the main chamber (18) and the subsidiary chamber (17) form a single mixing area. At the end of the output process, the body (20) enters the hemispherical subsidiary chamber (17) and acts as a displacer.
