Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a disposable cartridge including a chamber containing a plurality of inter-reacting components of, e.g., an adhesive system. The components are separated from each other by a barrier film formed by reaction therebetween. The components are expelled through a nozzle housing a static mixing element, the nozzle being adapted to trap the barrier film to prevent clogging. The nozzle includes a frusto-conical entry portion designed to ensure a constant mix-ratio profile between the components.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A dispensing device, containing a plurality of interactive components adapted to be mixed together to form a self-setting composition and comprising: a chamber portion containing said interactive components, said components being separated by one or more reacted barriers, and a nozzle means for mixing and dispensing said components comprising a frustro-conical portion including an interior wall and having its base disposed at one end of the chamber portion and an elongated portion disposed at the apex of the frustro-conical portion, the elongated portion having static mixing means therein, and entrapment means disposed within said frustro-conical portion and spaced apart from the interior wall, adapted to trap said reacted barrier while allowing said interactive components to flow therepast.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A dispensing device, containing a plurality of interactive components adapted to be mixed together to form a self-setting composition and comprising: a chamber portion containing said interactive components, said components being separated by one or more reacted barriers, and a nozzle means for mixing and dispensing said components comprising a frustro-conical portion including an interior wall and having its base disposed at one end of the chamber portion and an elongated portion disposed at the apex of the frustro-conical portion, the elongated portion having static mixing means therein, and entrapment means disposed within said frustro-conical portion and spaced apart from the interior wall, adapted to trap said reacted barrier while allowing said interactive components to flow therepast.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A cartridge according to claim 1 wherein said static mixing means extends beyond the elongated portion and into said frustro-conical portion and comprises said entrapment means.
