Abstract

Abstract A nozzle is used to mix two or more flowable reaction components which nozzle has a force controlled injection needle (7) and a force controlled needle casing (12) guided in a guiding bore (12). One component emerges centrally into an outlet channel (3) while the opening (25,26) of at least one further supply pipe (23,24) lies in the area of a sealing surface (4) which limits one side of the guide bore (2) and which forms a tight fit (18) with an outer sealing surface (17) thereof when the needle casing (12) is in a closed position.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 265 words
A nozzle for mixing at least two flowable reaction components comprising: (a) a nozzle housing; (b) a guide bore arranged in said housing, said guide bore being limited on one end by a sealing surface which conically tapers to an axial outlet channel, and, being sealed on the other end by a cover having an insert located therein, said insert having an axial bore arranged therein, (c) a movable needle casing located between said insert and said sealing surface, the movement of said needle casing being restricted on one end by said insert and being restricted on the other end by said sealing surface, wherein said needle casing has a base which has an outlet opening in alignment with said axial outlet channel and wherein the outer surface of said base forms a tight fit with said sealing surface in the closed position, (d) a chamber in the interior of said needle casing, said chamber being connected to a first component supply line, and wherein said outlet opening is located on one end of said chamber, and wherein the other end of said chamber is limited by said insert, (e) a nozzle needle guided in said axial bore and in said chamber, wherein said needle has a plug at one end, which plug fills said outlet opening and said outlet channel in the closed position, and wherein said needle is forceably controllable at the other end, and (f) a second component supply line, said second supply line opening below said base, whereby in the closed position, said second supply line is closed by said base.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 265 words
A nozzle for mixing at least two flowable reaction components comprising: (a) a nozzle housing; (b) a guide bore arranged in said housing, said guide bore being limited on one end by a sealing surface which conically tapers to an axial outlet channel, and, being sealed on the other end by a cover having an insert located therein, said insert having an axial bore arranged therein, (c) a movable needle casing located between said insert and said sealing surface, the movement of said needle casing being restricted on one end by said insert and being restricted on the other end by said sealing surface, wherein said needle casing has a base which has an outlet opening in alignment with said axial outlet channel and wherein the outer surface of said base forms a tight fit with said sealing surface in the closed position, (d) a chamber in the interior of said needle casing, said chamber being connected to a first component supply line, and wherein said outlet opening is located on one end of said chamber, and wherein the other end of said chamber is limited by said insert, (e) a nozzle needle guided in said axial bore and in said chamber, wherein said needle has a plug at one end, which plug fills said outlet opening and said outlet channel in the closed position, and wherein said needle is forceably controllable at the other end, and (f) a second component supply line, said second supply line opening below said base, whereby in the closed position, said second supply line is closed by said base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 12 words
The nozzle of claim 1 wherein each supply line has several openings.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The nozzle of claim 2 wherein the openings of said supply lines are distributed uniformly about the central axial of said nozzle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The nozzle of claim 3 wherein the openings of said supply lines are oriented radially.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
The nozzle of claim 3 wherein the openings of said supply lines are oriented tangentially.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The nozzle of claim 3 wherein the openings of said supply lines are oriented intermediately between radial and tangential.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 71 words
The nozzle of claim 1 further comprising a third component supply line, said third supply line opening in said axial bore, and wherein said needle has a shoulder which acts as a control edge such that when said needle is in the open position, the opening of said third supply line is opened and when said needle is in the closed position, the opening of said third supply line is closed.
