Abstract
Abstract A cartridge assembly for dispensing flowable masses includes axially extending containers each holding a separate flowable mass and a discharge member for dispensing the flowable masses from the containers. The discharge member and the containers are separate parts assembled into a unit. During storage and transport, the containers are closed and the discharge member is mounted on one end of the containers. When the cartridge assembly is to be used, the unit is inserted into a dispensing device. The discharge member and the containers are displaced relative to one another so that the discharge member moves against one end of the containers for forming openings. The other ends of the containers contain pistons which are pressed by the dispensing device toward the openings in the other ends of the containers forcing the flowable masses into the discharge member from which they are dispensed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
249 words
A cartridge assembly for dispensing at least one flowable mass comprises at least one axially extending hollow cylindrically shaped container having a first end and a second end spaced apart in the axial direction, and a discharge member having a discharge conduit for dispensing the flowable mass out of said container, wherein the improvement comprises said container and discharge member are separable parts with said discharge member mounted on the first end of said container and being displaceable in the axial direction of said container from a first position for storage and transport of said cartridge assembly to a second position for dispensing the flowable mass, said discharge member and said container having cooperating stop means thereon for limiting the displacement of said discharge member and said container into the second position, said container having a closure in the first end thereof, said closure is displaceable by an ejector on said discharge member for forming an opening when said discharge member and container are in the second position for dispensing the flowable mass out of the container, cooperating detent means are formed on said discharge member and container for interconnecting the discharge member and the container in the first and second positions, said detent means includes a tubular section formed on the stop surface of said discharge member and projecting therefrom in the first position toward said first end of said container and, when said closure is displaced, said tubular section extends through the opening left by said closure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
249 words
A cartridge assembly for dispensing at least one flowable mass comprises at least one axially extending hollow cylindrically shaped container having a first end and a second end spaced apart in the axial direction, and a discharge member having a discharge conduit for dispensing the flowable mass out of said container, wherein the improvement comprises said container and discharge member are separable parts with said discharge member mounted on the first end of said container and being displaceable in the axial direction of said container from a first position for storage and transport of said cartridge assembly to a second position for dispensing the flowable mass, said discharge member and said container having cooperating stop means thereon for limiting the displacement of said discharge member and said container into the second position, said container having a closure in the first end thereof, said closure is displaceable by an ejector on said discharge member for forming an opening when said discharge member and container are in the second position for dispensing the flowable mass out of the container, cooperating detent means are formed on said discharge member and container for interconnecting the discharge member and the container in the first and second positions, said detent means includes a tubular section formed on the stop surface of said discharge member and projecting therefrom in the first position toward said first end of said container and, when said closure is displaced, said tubular section extends through the opening left by said closure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said closure is disposed in the center of said first end of said container, and said ejector extends in the axial direction of said container toward the first end of said container for displacing said closure when said discharge member is in the second position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first end of said container has a annular reduced cross-section weakened section encircling said closure for affording a predetermined separation line for separating said closure out of said first end of said container and forming an opening therethrough.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 3, wherein said ejector is elongated and extends in the axial direction of said container and projects from said discharge member toward the first end of said container and is arranged to engage and displace said closure out of the first end of said container when said discharge member and container are moved into the second position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 4, wherein said ejector contacts said closure when said discharge member and container are in the first position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
63 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said stop means on said discharge member and container are facing stop surfaces extending transversely of the axial direction of said container and arranged to be in spaced relationship in the first position and to be in surface contacting engagement in the second position for forming sealing surfaces between the discharge member and container.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 3, wherein the outside diameter of said tubular section corresponds approximately to the outside diameter of the annular weakened section, in said first end of said container.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
Cartridge assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said cartridge assembly includes at least two said containers in axially parallel relation and said discharge member having a discharge conduit for each said container.
