  • Publication number: 20060097518
    Abstract: The shell for a press fitting for a tube of plastic or a plastic/metal compound material comprises a shell body (16) of a soft metal, a soft metal alloy or a plastic. Further, the shell is provided with a wax layer (22) at least in partial regions of the outer side (20) of the shell body (16).

  • Patent number: 5115980
    Abstract: A manually operable discharge pump for media is operable in a normal position and in an inverted position. A duct means 57b carries the medium. At least one valve 12b substantially closes and opens at least one duct 57b, and the valve 12b has a deformable valve body 44b cooperating with a valve seat 45b, the valve body being arranged between the valve seat and an opposite facing support face 56. The valve body 45b opens by a deformation motion providing an opening position and a closing position of the valve 12b. The valve body 54b is provided by a disk-like spring washer inserted between the valve seat 45b and the facing support face 56.

  • Patent number: 4944430
    Abstract: A vacuum-tight and pressure-tight closed storage space in a container is constructionally combined with a thrust piston pump projecting thereinto and a drag piston slidably guided therein and in the initial position of the thrust piston pump is hermetically sealed by an exhaust valve mechanically closed in forcibly controlled manner. The drag piston is adapted to the thrust piston pump in such a way that the storage space can be emptied substantially free with the thrust piston pump.

  • Patent number: 4826048
    Abstract: A dispenser (1) has two facing and outwardly sealed reservoirs (2) for separate media components, as well as for each reservoir (2) a separate discharge pump (3), both discharge pumps (3) being simultaneously operable by means of a common handle (10). Thus, the components are separately sucked in and are kept separate up to a mixing zone located inside or outside the handle (10), but with respect to the use thereof are brought together at the latest possible time. The components can be brought together in a precisely dosed quantity ratio.

  • Patent number: 4823991
    Abstract: A manually operated dispensing pump has dual pump mechanisms, one pump being operable in a normal upright position and the other pump being operable when the apparatus is inverted. The dual pumps are fed from the same storage vessel for the media to be pumped. A preferred embodiment arranges the dual pumps successively along the same axis, each having suction ports and valves operable to enable the respective pump when the apparatus is correctly positioned and to seal off the pump when the other pump is enabled.

  • Patent number: 4821923
    Abstract: A dispenser (1) has an admixing chamber (5) for each of the admixing components to be mixed together in a main chamber (4), the admixing chamber being inserted in a mount (7) of main chamber (4) formed by a vessel neck. A partition of the admixing chamber (5) is essentially constructed as a closure part (17), which is connected in one piece with admixing chamber (5) by means of a predetermined breaking point (18) and forms a component of a riser tube (6). For putting the discharge apparatus into operation a closure is opened and a discharge pump (3) within mount (7) is so introduced into admixing chamber (5) that the discharge pump (3) is connected with a suction connection (27) accompanied by the opening of a tube connection with riser tube (6) and then through further axial displacement of tube (6) the closure part (17) is broken free, so that the component flows from admixing chamber (5) into main chamber (4).

  • Patent number: 4726747
    Abstract: A thrust piston pump for an active substance dispenser has two equiaxial, position-rigid, interconnected pistons running in the same direction, namely a pump piston passing in and out of an otherwise closed pump chamber and a larger presuction pistion located downstream thereof, in whose associated pressure chamber is located the pump chamber end opened by the passing out of the pump piston. This leads to a very accurate dosing of the discharged active substance quantity, accompanied by a simple construction and high operational reliability.
