Abstract
Abstract A device for dispensing metered quantities of flowable multi-component masses includes a housing with separate chambers, each containing a flexible bag with one component of the multi-component mass. Material is pressed out of the bags by a liquid propellant supplied from a reservoir in the housing to the chambers by gear wheel pumps located in a conduit connecting the reservoir to the chambers. The pumps are connected to a common drive so that the mixture ratio of the components is exactly maintained for any desired amount to be dispensed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
Device for dispensing metered quantities of flowable multi-component masses, comprising means forming at least two separate closed chambers, a flexible bag containing a component of a multi-component mass positioned within each said chamber, a reservoir containing a fluid propellant, conduit means interconnecting said reservoir and said separate chambers, a device in communication with said conduit means for conveying the fluid propelant from the reservoir into the separate chambers for dispensing metered amounts of each of the components to an outlet where the components are mixed, said device for conveying the fluid propellant comprises pumps with a volumetric output, said conduit means comprises a separate conduit line for each of said chambers, and one said pump in each of said conduit lines for withdrawing fluid propellant from said reservoir and delivering the fluid propellant into said chambers, and said pumps in each of said conduit lines are coupled to one another.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
Device for dispensing metered quantities of flowable multi-component masses, comprising means forming at least two separate closed chambers, a flexible bag containing a component of a multi-component mass positioned within each said chamber, a reservoir containing a fluid propellant, conduit means interconnecting said reservoir and said separate chambers, a device in communication with said conduit means for conveying the fluid propelant from the reservoir into the separate chambers for dispensing metered amounts of each of the components to an outlet where the components are mixed, said device for conveying the fluid propellant comprises pumps with a volumetric output, said conduit means comprises a separate conduit line for each of said chambers, and one said pump in each of said conduit lines for withdrawing fluid propellant from said reservoir and delivering the fluid propellant into said chambers, and said pumps in each of said conduit lines are coupled to one another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said chambers has a venting valve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
Device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein each said pump in each of said conduit line is a gear wheel pump.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
Device, as set forth in claim 3, wherein said means forming said chambers comprise a housing, said housing being open at one end with said chambers being open at the open end, a cap part engageable with said housing for closing said chambers, a dispensing nozzle mounted on said cap part, separate passageways extending through said cap part to said dispensing nozzle from said chambers for supplying the components located within said flexible bags in said chambers to said dispensing nozzle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
Device, as set forth in claim 4, wherein said housing has a handgun shape with a handle located at the opposite end of said housing from said cap part, said reservoir located at least in part within said handle, said conduit means extending from said reservoir through said housing to said chambers with a separate line connected to each of said chambers, one said gear wheel pump located in each of said separate lines, a common drive shaft couples said gear wheel pumps together, and means for driving said common drive shaft located within said housing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
105 words
Device, as set forth in claim 5, wherein each of said chambers has a venting valve comprising a bore extending between each of said chambers and the exterior of said device, a valve body secured in said bore, a tappet extending through said valve body and forming a closure for an outlet passage through said valve body, and spring means within said bore for maintaining said tappet against said valve body for closing off flow through the outlet passage in said valve body, and said tappet extending through said valve body to the exterior of said device so that said tappet can be manualy actuated.
