  • Patent number: 9022258
    Abstract: A container (10, 30, 50) is provided for single- or multi-component molding materials. The container has a container body (12, 32, 52) having a constant outer contour in a longitudinal extent of the container (10, 30, 50), a piston (17, 37) movable in the longitudinal direction, and a cover (11, 31) having an outlet opening (13, 33, 53). A volume for a molding material is defined between the piston (17, 37) and the cover (11, 31), the volume being variable in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the container (10, 30, 50). The container distinguishes itself in that the container body (12, 32, 52) is rotatable relative to the outlet opening (13, 33, 53), and the piston (17, 37) thereby pushes out the content of the container (10, 30, 50).

  • Patent number: 8631973
    Abstract: Single-use cartridges for the storing and dispensing of dental two-component impression materials have a closable external chamber with a cylinder-shaped external wall, a cylindrical closable internal chamber that is arranged coaxially or eccentric therein, a mixing element including housing and mobile mixer that is to be mounted separately or connected firmly to the external chamber at its inlet end. Either the internal cylindrical chamber is arranged such that it can be rotated and forms the drive shaft for the mobile mixer part of the mixing element, or the drive shaft extends parallel to the central axis through the internal cylindrical chamber or forms the central axis. The content of the chambers can be dispensed by means of conveying means whose axial thrust motions can be controlled independent of each other.

  • Publication number: 20110084093
    Abstract: A dental mixing device (10) is provided for generating a multi-component material (11) by squeezing out and mixing the components of the multi-component material (11) from at least one first (20, 20?) and one second cartridge (30, 30?). The first cartridge (20, 20?) and the second cartridge (30, 30?) are arranged in the dental mixing device (10) such as to be replaceable. The mixing device has a first (21) and a second feed line (31) for guiding the components respectively from the first cartridge (20, 20?) and the second cartridge (30, 30?) into a mixer (40) and has a motorized advancer (50) for squeezing the components from the first (20, 20?) and the second cartridge (30, 30?). At least the first cartridge (20, 20?) is a unit-dose package and has a first volume between 20 ml and 60 ml.

  • Publication number: 20100265789
    Abstract: An arrangements optimised for the mixing control of several components to be mixed by the user. The components include a paste A to be dispensed in a strand and another component B. A includes A1 which is white or a lightly coloured base paste and A2 is an intensely coloured colour paste. The components are within a container with a discharge aperture. Given stripes of A1 in A2 or of A2 in A1 are being arranged or A1 and A2 are stored separately and, at the discharge aperture, a device for producing stripes of A1 in A2 or of A2 in A1 is provided such that A1 and A2 together result in a stripe pattern in the discharged strand which is provided for mixing with at least one further component B.
