Abstract: A discharge device for discharging a product from a tube having a delivery outlet and a deformable wall. The discharge device according to the invention comprises a housing with a chamber that has a chamber opening and in which the tube is accommodated. A movable stopper is arranged inside the tube and is placed at the end opposite the delivery outlet and closes this end of the tube. An advancing member can be connected to the stopper and is displaceable inside the tube in the direction of the delivery outlet for discharging the fluid product from the tube.

Abstract: Described are elastic tubular devices including an inner tube (23) made of an elastic and gas impermeable material; and a sheath (21) surrounding the inner tube and made of a woven cloth of flame resistant meta-aramid yarns, wherein the tubular device has a longitudinal extension of at least approximately 1.4 when inflated by a gas having a pressure of at least approximately 0.5 bar.

Abstract: An opening device for opening a closed fluid container comprises a housing having a first chamber (1) for receiving the fluid container (3) and a second chamber (2) having an outlet (13). A part (6) of the fluid container that can be separated is arranged in the second chamber. A rotary drum (8) is rotatably supported in the second chamber. Said drum can be rotated from a starting position into a separating position in which it separates the separable container part from the fluid container. The rotational axis of the rotary drum is disposed at an angle to the connecting axis between the first and second chambers. A system for mixing at least two components uses such an opening device and a mixing container (18) having a connecting piece (19), to which the opening device is removably connected to establish a fluid connection.

Abstract: A discharge apparatus for discharging a product having compressed gas support comprises a container (1) having a discharge opening (12) and a pressure element (2), which is mounted displaceably in the container (1). A counterpressure element (13) is provided on the container (1) and is used to advance the pressure element (2) into the container in order to absorb a developing counterpressure when pressure is applied onto the pressure element (2). A compressed gas device (5, 7, 8) dispenses compressed gas in the region of the discharge opening (12), and comprises a valve (6) and a valve actuating device (14) to control the compressed gas dispensing. The actuating device (14) is provided on the counterpressure element (13) to ensure that when discharging the product from the container, at the same time the compressed gas device can be actuated by applying pressure onto the pressure element, whereby compressed gas exits the discharge opening at the same time as the fluid product.

Abstract: This invention relates to a discharge device of the dispenser gun type, which is suitable in particular for discharging semi-solid materials such as e.g. bone replacement materials. The discharge device comprises an adapter (400) which is removably attached to a main body (110) of the discharge device. A fastening structure for attachment of a container (300) is formed on the adapter substantially along a proximal direction (C) contrary to the feed direction (A). As a result various types of containers can be fastened to the machine without the need to change the mechanism of the device. The container can be provided on both ends with identical external threads and can be closed by closure caps in order to enable intuitive handling. In order to improve access to points which are difficult to reach, the container may be in the form of a curved pipe or may be formed flexibly. The piston rod (200) of the discharge device is then also formed flexibly.

Furthermore, in a third orientation the rotating element can be rotatable on the rotary axis in order to open at least one outlet opening of the cartridge.

Abstract: A device is proposed for low-bubbling mixing and discharge of a product. The device comprises a housing (10) which delimits a reservoir for the product. In the reservoir, a mixing element (23) is moveable in order to mix the product. A piston (40) delimits the reservoir in the proximal direction and is displaceable into the distal direction in order to discharge the product from the reservoir. In order to force gases out of the reservoir and thereby prevent bubble formation, the device has a spring element (50) which loads the piston with a spring force in the distal direction.
