Abstract
Abstract A mixing head for two reactive components has a mixing chamber provided with a control plunger enabling recirculation and opening at right angles into a quieting passage which is provided with a control plunger adapted to selectively obstruct the outlet of the mixing chamber into the quieting passage. According to the invention an adjustable abutment is provided for the latter plunger to enable the obstruction to be completely removed during one phase of each cycle of the actuation of the apparatus. This abutment can be an annular piston under the control of fluid pressure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
A mixing head for two reactive components comprising: means forming an elongated mixing chamber provided with ports for introducing said components into said mixing chamber, and an outlet opening at one end of said mixing chamber; a first plunger shiftable in said mixing chamber between a retracted position in which a mixture of said component is formed therein, and a second position wherein said first plunger is advanced to said opening to drive said mixture from said chamber; means forming an elongated quieting passage communicating with said mixing chamber at said opening, said passage having a discharge end remote from said opening; a second plunger shiftable in said passage between a retracted position wherein said mixture can be discharged through said passage at said discharge end, and an advanced position wherein said second plunger drives said mixture from said passage; and a shiftable abutment for said second plunger establishing said reactracted position such that said plunger extends across said opening to partially obstruct flow from said mixing chamber into said passage, and displaceable to enable said second plunger to assume a position in which flow from said outlet is completely unblocked.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The mixing head defined in claim 1 wherein said abutment comprises a piston displaceable in a cylinder and defining therewith a working compartment adapted to receive a pressure medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The mixing head defined in claim 2 wherein an end of said piston forms an abutment directly for said plunger.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The mixing head defined in claim 3 wherein said piston is an annular piston, further comprising adjustment means for limiting an axial stroke of said piston.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
The mixing head defined in claim 4 wherein said adjusting means includes a bolt extending through said piston and having a head limiting the displacement of said piston in one direction, said bolt having a threaded end engaged threadedly in a housing forming said cylinder and rotatable from a location outside said housing to set the degree of throttling of said second plunger.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The mixing defined in claim 5 wherein said bolt has a threaded end formed with a hex socket engageable by an allen wrench externally of said housing, said threaded end receiving a counter nut.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The mixing head defined in claim 6 wherein said first plunger is provided with a first piston for actuating same, said first plunger being formed with passages for recirculation of said components in the second position of said first plunger.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
The mixing head defined in claim 7 wherein said second plunger is provided with a second piston axially displaceable in a respective cylinder for shifting said second plunger, said second piston being engageable with said annular piston.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The mixing head defined in claim 8 wherein said passage is semicircular in cross section and said second plunger is semicircular in cross section.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
The mixing head defined in claim 8 wherein said first plunger has a cylindrically concave end.
