Abstract: The invention relates to a syringe, in particular for dispensing flowable dental materials, comprising a syringe housing, at least two storage chambers (12 and 14) for dental materials, which lie transversely adjacent to each other as viewed in the dispensing direction, and a mixing device (36), which has two mixing channels (54, 56, 58, and 60), wherein each mixing channel is connected to the outlet of a storage chamber (12 and 14). The mixing device (36) has a mixing zone (80), which is connected to a pre-mixing zone (64). The pre-mixing zone (64) has two inlets, one for each of the dental materials to be mixed, and an outlet, wherein the inlets point toward each other. The outlet of the pre-mixing zone (64) extends perpendicularly to the inlets. The inlet of the mixing zone (80) is connected to the outlet of the pre-mixing zone (64). The mixing zone (80) has an impact element for deflecting the pre-mixed flow of the dental materials to an outlet of the mixing zone (80).

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary-spindle syringe, comprising a rotary element (24) with a thread which is in threaded engagement with the driver (40) wherein the driver (40) acts on a piston (16) and is mounted in a translationally moveable manner relative to the latter, and the rotary-spindle syringe (10) discharges material upon actuation of the rotary element (24) as well as upon application of pressure to a hand support (50) of the piston (16) or a plunger (62) of the piston (16).

Abstract: Containers that are soluble in liquid methylmethacrylate and contain the PMMA powder fraction of a two-component system made up of PMMA powder component and liquid MMA monomer component are useful as components of packaging of powder/liquid two-component material, such as dental material, investment material for histology or metallography or in veterinary medicine.

Abstract: An applicator for a one-handed operation for storing and applying a dental liquid, including a container for the dental liquid and a tubing for guiding the dental liquid from the container to an applicator tip. The container is made of foil, which can be punctured by a mandrel. The dental liquid is expelled through a displacement plunger, whereby puncturing and expelling are effected through actuating a handle and the container is positioned with respect to the mandrel in suitable manner such that the advancing mechanism that is used to expel the dental liquid from the applicator is also used to puncture or slit open the foil with the mandrel, whereby the container is opened through the same force that is used to dispense the dental liquid and one-handed operability of the applicator is attained not only when the dental liquid is dispensed, but also when the container is being opened.

Abstract: A slide and shell container, which finds particular application as a pack for elongate smoking articles such as cigarettes, and which includes an outer shell having a first access opening; and an inner slide having a second access opening. The inner slide is mounted within the outer shell for slidable movement relative thereto between a closed position, in which the second access opening is occluded by the outer shell and the interior of the inner slide is inaccessible, and an open position, in which the second access opening is substantially aligned with the first access opening such that the interior of the inner slide is accessible through the first and second access openings.
