  • Publication number: 20120097708
    Abstract: A dual dispensing apparatus for dispensing two flowable components having a first storage chamber for the first component, and a second storage chamber for the second component. The two storage chambers are arranged next to one another and each have an outlet for the first or the second component respectively at their distal ends. The apparatus also has a first plunger for penetrating into the first storage chamber and a second plunger for penetrating into the second storage chamber. A respective piston for dispensing the respective component is molded to each plunger and is sealingly guided by the respective wall of the storage chamber. Each storage chamber has at least one first guide element at its end remote from the outlet and each plunger has at least one second guide element adjacent to the respective piston. The first and the second guide elements are configured for mutual engagement.

  • Publication number: 20120061424
    Abstract: A piston for a cartridge for storing a filler material in a storage chamber of the cartridge includes a piston body which has a conveying side as well as a drive side disposed opposite the conveying side and includes a piston jacket, wherein the piston jacket is arranged around a piston axis and the piston body is surrounded by the piston jacket at the peripheral side. The piston jacket has a sealing element for forming a fluid-tight connection between the sealing element of the piston jacket and an inner wall of the storage chamber of the cartridge so that the sealing element forms a fluid-tight connection between the conveying side and the drive side in the installed state. The piston body contains a first and a second venting element by which the conveying side and the drive side can be connected to one another by a respective bore and the piston body has a venting slit which is arranged on the conveying side.

  • Publication number: 20100147896
    Abstract: The piston includes a piston body having a conveying side, an oppositely disposed drive side and, at the circumferential side, a piston jacket forming a connection between the conveying side and the drive side. The piston jacket has a projection that carries a guide element for the guidance of the piston in a cartridge containing a filling with solid particles and for forming a sealing contact with a wall of the cartridge. The projection also carries a scraper element in front of the guide element for scraping solid particles from the cartridge wall back into the filling during discharge.
