Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
251 words
A head for dispensing doses of a product of a pasty or viscous consistency resulting from the mixing in the head of two constituents stored in separate side-by-side reservoirs each provided with a dispensing outlet element, said head being comprised of a first and a second part fitted to each other, said first part having a pair of ejection ducts passing therethrough and being provided with means adapted to cooperate simultaneously with the two dispensing outlet elements for causing the ejection of the contents of the reservoirs into respective ones of said ejection ducts, said first and second parts having complementary means carried thereby to cooperate to define a mixing chamber in the assembled position of the two parts, said ejection ducts opening into said mixing chamber at spaced locations, and said mixing chamber having a single outlet opening for the dispensing of a mixture of material admitted to the chamber from the two ducts, said first and second parts having mutually facing respective walls integral with said respective part, one of said walls having a continuous rib carried thereon extending substantially perpendicular therefrom and the other of said walls having a groove formed therein of a shape complementing the external contour of said rib, said mixing chamber being located between said walls and said rib being received in said groove with said rib having a height from said respective wall such that said rib defines the side walls of said mixing chamber when said first and second parts are assembled.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
A dispenser head according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said complementary means includes means defining a sinuous or zigzag path for the flow resulting from the mixing of the flows of the two individual constituents between the meeting point of these flows in the chamber and the outlet opening of the said chamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dispenser head according to claim 6, wherein said means defining a sinuous or zigzag path comprises at least one deflector carried by at least one of said first and second parts.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
A dispenser head according to claim 8, wherein the mixing chamber has a channel shape communicating at one side at the ends thereof to said ducts and having at the mid-point of the opposite side a median outlet section opening to the exterior of the head.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
49 words
A dispenser head in accordance with claim 1 in combination with a storage unit sub-assembly comprising said two separate side-by-side reservoirs each containing a product of a pasty or viscous consistency, said dispenser head and sub-assembly combination forming a dispenser unit with the dispenser head cooperating with said sub-assembly.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
