Abstract: A container construction for receiving substances adapted to combine with each other for producing viscous medical and dental medical preparations, especially amalgams, which includes: a chamber for receiving a flowable substance which after elimination of a separating wall element is adapted to be conveyed into a mixing chamber preferably containing a pulverous substance. From this mixing chamber the mixed preparation can be pressed out, e.g. by means of a piston. The mixing chamber is at least within the region of its discharging end formed by a bendable discharging tube which is surrounded by a rigid protective sleeve.

Abstract: An improvement in a device for securing a mixing capsule for dental preparations to the support of a vibrating machine for mixing the components of said dental preparations, the device being improved in that said support is provided with an abutment and a presser adjustable by a toggle lever pivoted to said support connected by way of a link to said presser which presser is axially movable in a reciprocating manner and in relation to said abutment.
