  • Patent number: 7740478
    Abstract: An applicator for dental compounds includes a shaft, the front end of which can be connected with the aid of a fastening device to a syringe containing the dental compound, and a plunger. The shaft contains a ram for advancing the plunger. The fastening device has an inner sleeve, attached to the shaft, and an outer sleeve, attached on the inner sleeve rotatably with respect to it. The inner sleeve is substantially cylindrical and has such a cavity that its cross section is substantially U-shaped. Clamping takes place as a result of eccentricity.

  • Patent number: 7383969
    Abstract: A device for mixing and dispensing multi-component compositions employs a cap. The cap acts as a closure initially to close the outlet openings of the components and can be moved into the open position by pressure of the components while they are being discharged, so that the components can be mixed by the mixing helix and emerge from the outlet tube. The device also includes a distribution structure that may be a fitted onto or an integral part of the outlet tube.

  • Publication number: 20060071023
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing a mixed multi-component compound from a cartridge. The device has several containers that house the components and a mixing nozzle. The device is characterized in that it comprises a holder for the mixing nozzle that is connected to a holder for the cartridge. The former holder allows the nozzle to be attached to the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 6932237
    Abstract: The device for generating a multi-component compound, in particular for dental purposes, by pressing out and mixing its components from cartridges (5), which open into a mixer (10), is characterized in that the advance speed of the motor (15) is regulated by the pressing-out behaviour of the components, which pressing-out behaviour can be determined by sensors (III-VIII).

  • Patent number: 6846300
    Abstract: The multi-component mixing capsule with dispensing device has a container part in which a component can be accommodated. A further component is arranged in a piston which is sealed at one end by a foil disk and a holed disk. At the other end, the piston is sealed by a ram which, in a first operating step, forces the liquid component from the piston into the mixing space of the container part and, in a second operating step, also forces the piston downward so that the mixed compound can emerge from the dispensing device.

  • Patent number: 6824016
    Abstract: System for the release of equal proportions of two flowable substances having two syringes, of which at least one is also used alone or in combination with other syringes, especially for dental purposes. In order to enable the connected syringes to be used irrespective of the current piston position, detachable devices for coupling the syringe bodies and devices for coupling the syringe pistons, irrespective of their current position, are provided.

  • Publication number: 20030176834
    Abstract: The multi-component mixing capsule with dispensing device (2) has a container part (1) in which a component can be accommodated. A further component is arranged in a piston (4) which is sealed at one end (5) by a foil disk (6) and a holed disk (7). At the other end, the piston (4) is sealed by a ram (8) which, in a first operating step, forces the liquid component from the piston (4) into the mixing space of the container part (1) and, in a second operating step, also forces the piston (4) downward so that the mixed compound can emerge from the dispensing device (2).

  • Patent number: 6540395
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a dynamic mixer for viscous compositions, in particular for components for dental impression compounds. The mixer consists of a mixer tube, a rotor located in the latter, and an end wall with inlet openings through which the components to be mixed pass into the mixer. In doing so, they first alternately fill chambers arranged on the rotor. The composition then flows out of the chambers through admission openings into the mixing channel, where it can be stirred by mixer blades.

  • Patent number: 6530685
    Abstract: Arrangement for mixing multi-component compositions, in particular for dental purposes, comprising a component-extruding device with outlet openings (16, 17) assigned to the components and a mixer (11), the inlet openings of which can be connected to the outlet openings (16, 17) of the extruding device. The inlet and outlet openings of these two parts are enclosed by complementary guiding surfaces of the two parts. They open out diametrically in mutually opposite surface portions of the guiding surfaces. As a result, the compressive forces acting in the region of the inlet and outlet openings on both sides cancel one another out, so that a sealed connection can be ensured even without great structural expenditure.
