  • Patent number: 4531839
    Abstract: An automatic dental amalgam dispenser-mixer comprising a first reservoir for silver powder and a second reservoir for mercury, dispensing and metering means for each material, and a mixer equipped with a recovery cup at its outlet. The dispensing and metering means includes a pair of separate conveyors--one for the silver powder and one for the mercury--each rotationally mounted in a sleeve having an inlet in communication with the associated reservoir and an outlet leading to the mixer.
