Abstract
Abstract A dosing device for viscous materials, especially for paints, has a dosing cylinder, in which is disposed a dosing piston coupled with a hydraulically chargeable piston cylinder drive. A multi-way valve is placed ahead of the dosing cylinder to which is connected, on the one hand, a line for the supply of the material and, on the other hand, a pressure line for extrusion of the metered material by a drive, via a dispensing valve. The lines can be connected to the dosing cylinder selectively. The apparatus is embodied as a mobile unit. An open storage container is provided, from which originates the line for the supply of the material to the dosing cylinder which is embodied as a suction line. The drive is operatively arranged to effect the suction operation of the dosing piston.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In a dosing device for viscous materials, especially for paints, including a dosing cylinder in which is disposed a dosing piston coupled with a hydraulically chargeable piston cylinder drive, a multi-way valve disposed downstream of the dosing cylinder and connected on one side to a line for supply of the materials and on another side to a pressure line for the extrusion of metered material by means of the drive via a dispensing valve, each of said lines being selectively connected to the dosing cylinder, the improvement comprising: an open storage container, said dosing cylinder defining suction-producing means, said line for the supply of the material to the dosing cylinder interconnecting said storage container with said suction apparatus, a feed station monitoring device associated with said storage container having a pre-stressable compression spring coupled to first switching means for monitoring the minimal amount of fill in said container as well as an adjustable spring coupled to a second switching means for monitoring the maximal amount of fill in said container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
