Patent number: 9339359Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator instrument for applying dental compounds. The applicator instrument comprises an instrument head with a support structure and with a plurality of projections formed on the support structure. The projections are elastic and, in relation to a height extent, have less stiffness than the support structure. Between them, the projections enclose a receiving space for the dental compound. According to the invention, the projections have a planar configuration and, in relation to a width extent, are arranged substantially parallel to one another. The greatest diameter of the instrument head is between 2 mm and 3 mm. With the applicator instrument according to the invention, it is easier to apply the dental compound in dosed amounts and to spread the dental compound across the surface that is to be treated.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Gilltec GmbHInventors: Joachim Fritze, Jochen Heinz, Philipp Rolle

Publication number: 20150342714Abstract: A dispensing system comprising a discharge tool in the form of a compule gun and a replaceable dispensing container in the form of a compule for dental compound. The dispensing container comprises a housing, on the inside of which a slide surface is formed that is intended for engagement with a plunger. The housing encloses an interior and is provided with an outlet channel. A portion of a needle is inserted into the outlet channel. A gap is present between the circumference of the needle and the outlet channel. An adhesive is introduced into the gap. A ram in the discharge tool engages the plunger. A method also produces a dispensing system of this kind.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventor: Joachim Fritze

Publication number: 20140248578Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing container for a dental compound. The dispensing container comprises a chamber (15), a discharge tip (16) and a channel (17), which extends from the chamber (15) as far as a channel opening (18) arranged at the front end of the discharge tip (16). The discharge tip (16) has a jacket surface (23) tapering towards the front end. A cap (20) is provided which has an inner surface adapted to the jacket surface (23) of the discharge tip (16). According to the invention, the inner surface of the cap (20) has a plurality of guide webs (24). The invention also relates to a cap for a dispensing container of this kind. The dispensing container according to the invention reduces the likelihood of the dental compound being contaminated by particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2012Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: Transcodent GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20140212836Abstract: A composite capsule for receiving and dispensing a dental compound. The composite capsule has a receiving space, which is surrounded by a capsule wall and which extends between a discharge opening and a receiving opening, wherein the discharge opening is arranged at a front end of the receiving space, and the receiving opening is arranged at a rear end of the receiving space. The composite capsule comprises a support face, which protrudes outward in relation to the capsule wall and which is oriented in the direction of the front end. The support face is interrupted by a thread recess. By way of the thread recess, the composite capsule can be connected to a storage container, in order to introduce a desired amount of dental compound into the composite capsule.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Transcodent GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8622643Abstract: An applicator instrument for applying dental compounds includes an instrument head. The instrument head has a support structure with a plurality of elastic projections formed on the support structure. The projections have less stiffness than the support structure with respect to a height extent and enclose a receiving space for the dental compound. Additionally, the projections have a planar configuration and are arranged substantially parallel to one another with respect to a width extent. The diameter of the instrument head is equal to or less than 3 mm. Using this applicator instrument, it is easier to apply dental compound in dosed amounts and to spread the dental compound across a surface to be treated.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2010Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Gilltec GmbHInventors: Joachim Fritze, Jochen Heinz, Philipp Rolle

Patent number: 5620423Abstract: A syringe having a stopper configured at least partly as a membrane surface. The stopper is prestressed opposite to the direction of insertion of a rotary piston so that it assumes a stable position at rest. After displacement by the rotary piston, the membrane surface reversibly returns to this stable position after it is depressurized.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1994Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Heraeus Kulzer GmbHInventors: Rudolf Eykmann, Joachim Fritze, Birgit Uhrig, Dieter Schodel

Patent number: 5246105Abstract: A modular container for dental materials has an upper section (1) with a hinged top (13) and a lower section (2) composed of at least two superposed modules (3), each with two drawers (4). All sections feature interchangeable side panels (5) connected by aluminum sheet (6; 6') or the like, which is bent to form both a rear wall (8; 8') and a base element (7) or a cover element (20). The sheet metal is held between the side panel pair (5) by rails (32; 32'; 32") formed thereon. Similar rails (11; 11'; 11") formed on the inside of the front panels (25) engage around a laterally extending rim (22) at the front or back of each drawer; the drawers can be rotated front-to-back by attaching the front panel to the opposing edge. The upper section's cover is attached by hinges (12) which have rotational stops (14,15) for propping the cover in an open position.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1991Date of Patent: September 21, 1993Assignee: Heraeus Kulzer GmbHInventors: Rudolf Eykmann, Joachim Fritze, Birgit Uhrig
