  • Patent number: 11839519
    Abstract: Disclosed is a two-component mixing capsule for intake and for mixing of two compositions with a capsule housing having a discharge spout at its front end, wherein the mixing capsule comprises a first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber, wherein the two mixing chambers may be separated from each other for storage or for transport, by the first mixing chamber being rotatable into a first position in which the first mixing chamber is separated from mixing chamber, by a rotatably mounted handhold element, the rotational axis of which is approximately perpendicularly arranged to the longitudinal axis of the mixing capsule. The two mixing chambers form a common mixing chamber by rotating the first mixing chamber into a second position in which the central axes of the first and second mixing chamber are substantially coaxially arranged, wherein the composition may be discharged after mixing by attaching a squeezing piston.

  • Patent number: 11413116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a two-component mixing capsule (1) for intake and for mixing of two, preferably powdered or preferably pasty or kneadable, particularly preferably dental, compositions with a capsule housing (2) having a discharge opening (3) at its front end (2.1), wherein the mixing capsule (1) comprises a first mixing chamber (5a) and a second mixing chamber (5b), wherein the two mixing chambers may be separated from each other for storage or for transport, by the first mixing chamber (5a) being rotated by a rotatably mounted handhold element whose rotation axis (Y) is approximately perpendicularly arranged to the longitudinal axis (Z) of the mixing capsule (1) into a first position in which the first mixing chamber (5a) is separated from mixing chamber (5b), preferably the central axes of the mixing chambers are arranged to each other by approximately 90°.

  • Publication number: 20180008381
    Abstract: Subject matter of the invention are prosthetic mouldings, which have, at least area by area, at least one layer of biomimetic apatite selected from fluorapatite, hydroxylapatite or their mixtures on their surface, wherein the surface of the mouldings has micromechanical anchoring positions at least in this area to improve mechanical connection of apatite to the surface. Another subject matter of the invention are mouldings for use in dental, prosthetic treatment for tooth loss, in particular for cellular attachment of cells to prosthetic mouldings. Moreover, subject matter of the invention is the method for the production of the prosthetic mouldings.

  • Patent number: 5893714
    Abstract: A cartridge for containing material in paste form, having a cylindrical container unit, an outlet tip with an outlet passage disposed at one end of the container unit at an angle to its axis, a protective cap encasing the outlet tip, a mounting disposed at the second end of the cylindrical container unit, which is provided for mounting the cartridge in an ejector device, and a piston having a cylindrical circumferential surface and disposed for movement in the longitudinal direction of the cartridge which is provided for sealing off the cartridge interior as well as for dispensing the paste material. In order to attach the cartridge securely to an ejector device and assure a high standard of hygiene, the end of the outlet tip remote from the container unit, at which an outlet orifice is disposed, is at a radial distance from the axis of the container unit that is no more than exactly as great as the radius of the container unit.
