  • Patent number: 8505785
    Abstract: A cartridge piston for pressing out a compound from a cartridge body is provided with a forwardly directed, elastic sealing lip which is arranged to bear against the cartridge wall. To allow for escape of air while the piston is being introduced, air passages are provided on the sealing lip. In a wall portion of the side wall, the piston has a non-circular shape so that, in certain regions, the abutment of the piston on the cartridge wall is less close than in other regions. In this manner, the outflow of air to the outside is facilitated. Further, the piston is arranged in its inserted state in a sealing abutment on the cartridge wall, thus precluding ingress of air into the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 8397959
    Abstract: A packaging container formed by a container body has a connector with a thread. The connector has a predetermined breaking point where a tear-off part may be torn off. The tear-off part has a handle and may be torn off without a tool. The container body is fitted with an application nozzle which, when not in use, is positioned on the handle.

  • Patent number: 8342371
    Abstract: The caulking gun comprises a cartridge holder (12) for accommodating a cartridge (25). For pressing out the substance contained in the cartridge (25), use is made of a piston (30) which is advanced by a pressure disk (16). The pressure disk (16) can be radially expanded under the influence of the advancement force and thus will press by a spreading edge (49) against the side wall (31) of the piston (30). In this manner, the piston in the region of its side wall (31) is tightly pressed against the cartridge wall. Leakage of substance past the piston (30) is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20100018977
    Abstract: A packaging container made of plastic has a fixed wall part (W1), produced by injection molding, and a detachable wall part (W2), which are connected by a predetermined breaking zone (20). The predetermined breaking zone (20) is covered by a barrier layer (24) which provides enhanced barrier action against gases, water vapor or solvent. The barrier layer (24) reduces the permeability of the predetermined breaking zone (20).

  • Publication number: 20090194567
    Abstract: A press-out device for plastic substances comprises a cartridge (10) including a cylindrical container (11) in which a piston (35) can be displaced for pressing a substance, e.g. a sealing substance or adhesive substance, out of a discharge connector (14). The cartridge (10) is provided with an application nozzle (25) for use in extension of the discharge connector (14). The application nozzle (25) belongs to a reclosable closure assembly. The application nozzle (25) further comprises a hood (27) being movable relative to a nozzle body (26) and having a closure orifice. The closure orifice is followed by a discharge channel (51) delimited by straight side walls. The invention makes it possible to open the cartridge (10) without the need for a tool and to adjust and close the application nozzle (25) without the need for a tool.

  • Publication number: 20070190275
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a tube comprising a compressible peripheral wall in an injection molding process by using an injection mold that is provided with a core and a female die. The opening end of the tube is produced in a neck mold which retains the unfinished tube also during opening of the mold. Special measures prevent the soft plastic of the unfinished tube from sticking to the mold.

  • Patent number: 6634524
    Abstract: The two-component cartridge comprises an outer container (10) and an inner container (20) coaxially arranged therein. The inner container (20) comprises a bellows-type section (21) adapted to be folded like an accordion. The rear end of the bellows-type section (21) is inserted into a piston (32). In the folded condition, the bellows-type section is accommodated in an annular space (41) of the piston (32). The piston (32) comprises an annular piston breast (34) and a central piston breast (37) arranged at the same level. The invention allows easy filling of the two-component cartridge from the rear side and almost complete evacuation. The two-component cartridge can be evacuated by means of the same tool as is used for a common cartridge containing only a single material.
