Abstract
Abstract A device is disclosed for receiving fluid components from a proportioning device and delivering the components to a mixing tube for chemical reaction of the components. The device comprises a housing having two inlet chambers and an outlet chamber. One of the fluids is connected to the first inlet chamber while the other fluid is connected to the second inlet chamber and both inlet chambers are fluidly connected to the outlet chamber by separate fluid passageways. A valve assembly is operable to simultaneously open both fluid passageways so that the fluids from the inlet chambers flow into the outlet chamber and then out from the device housing to the mixing tube. The device housing comprises two housing parts which are detachably secured together and, when separated, provide open access to the valve members and outlet chamber for cleaning and to enable a ratio check to be performed at a point in the system close to the mixing tube.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
In a system for mixing and dispensing two or more fluids, a flow gun comprising: a housing having at least two inlet chambers and an outlet chamber, means for fluidly connecting a first fluid to one inlet chamber and a second fluid to the other inlet chamber, a first fluid passageway for fluidly connecting said one inlet chamber to said outlet chamber, a second fluid passageway for fluidly connecting said other inlet chamber to said outlet chamber, an outlet fluid passageway having one end open to said outlet chamber and its other end open exteriorly of said housing, valve means movable between an open and a closed position for simultaneously opening and closing said first and second fluid passageways, wherein said housing comprises a first part and a second part, said housing parts abutting together along a plane open to said outlet chamber, means for detachably securing said housing parts together, wherein said outlet chamber is wholly formed in said second housing part, wherein said valve means are wholly attached to said first housing part so that, upon detachment of said housing parts and actuation of said valve means, the dispensing ratio of said fluids can be measured.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
198 words
In a system for mixing and dispensing two or more fluids, a flow gun comprising: a housing having at least two inlet chambers and an outlet chamber, means for fluidly connecting a first fluid to one inlet chamber and a second fluid to the other inlet chamber, a first fluid passageway for fluidly connecting said one inlet chamber to said outlet chamber, a second fluid passageway for fluidly connecting said other inlet chamber to said outlet chamber, an outlet fluid passageway having one end open to said outlet chamber and its other end open exteriorly of said housing, valve means movable between an open and a closed position for simultaneously opening and closing said first and second fluid passageways, wherein said housing comprises a first part and a second part, said housing parts abutting together along a plane open to said outlet chamber, means for detachably securing said housing parts together, wherein said outlet chamber is wholly formed in said second housing part, wherein said valve means are wholly attached to said first housing part so that, upon detachment of said housing parts and actuation of said valve means, the dispensing ratio of said fluids can be measured.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 and in which detaching said housing parts exposes the outlet side of said valve means whereby the flow across said valve means can be measured with said housing parts detached.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
71 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said valve means comprises a valve seat formed in each of said first and second fluid passageways, a valve member which cooperates with each seat, an elongated rod secured at one end to each valve member and its other end extending outwardly from said housing, means attached to said rods for simultaneously moving said valve members toward and away from said valve seats.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 and comprising spring means between said housing and said valve means for urging said valve means towards said closed position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said detachable securing means comprises at least one threaded stud secured to one of said housing parts, said stud slidably positioned through a bore in the other housing part, and a nut which threadably engages said stud.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 and comprising an auxiliary passageway formed in said housing, said auxiliary passageway having one end open to said outlet chamber and its other end open exteriorly of said housing, said auxiliary passageway adapted for connection with a further fluid source.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The invention as defined in claim 6 and comprising one way valve means operatively disposed in said auxiliary passageway.
