Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A dispensing mixer for intermixing and dispensing at least two materials through a common mixing nozzle comprising: a tubular shell surrounding said common mixing nozzle with said tubular shell having opposite ends and with said nozzle extending axially from one of said opposite ends; partition means located in said shell for dividing said shell into at least two storage compartments for separately storing the materials to be intermixed and dispensed from said device; piston means axially aligned with said tubular shell and extending from one of said opposite ends in juxtaposition with each of said storage compartments; a static mixing element disposed in said common mixing nozzle; and means for providing a controlled passageway from each storage compartment in said shell to said common mixing nozzle, such that upon relative advancement of said piston means into storage compartments, the stored materials are forced to flow in one direction from each storage compartment through said controlled passageway into said common mixing nozzle with the direction of flow reversed through said common mixing nozzle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
172 words
A dispensing mixer for intermixing and dispensing at least two materials through a common mixing nozzle comprising: a tubular shell surrounding said common mixing nozzle with said tubular shell having opposite ends and with said nozzle extending axially from one of said opposite ends; partition means located in said shell for dividing said shell into at least two storage compartments for separately storing the materials to be intermixed and dispensed from said device; piston means axially aligned with said tubular shell and extending from one of said opposite ends in juxtaposition with each of said storage compartments; a static mixing element disposed in said common mixing nozzle; and means for providing a controlled passageway from each storage compartment in said shell to said common mixing nozzle, such that upon relative advancement of said piston means into storage compartments, the stored materials are forced to flow in one direction from each storage compartment through said controlled passageway into said common mixing nozzle with the direction of flow reversed through said common mixing nozzle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A dispensing mixer, as defined in claim 1, wherein said means for providing a controlled passageway comprises an opening in said mixing nozzle for communicating with each compartment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A dispensing mixer, as defined in claim 2, further comprising closure means for sealing the end of said tubular shell opposite said piston means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A dispensing mixer, as defined in claim 3, wherein said closure means further comprises control means for opening said controlled passageway in one position of said closure means and for blocking said controlled passageway in another position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dispensing mixer, as defined in claim 4, wherein said closure means includes a keyway for opening or closing said controlled passageway upon manual rotation of said closure means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A dispensing mixer, as defined in claim 2, wherein said piston means comprises a piston head and a fixed number of pistons extending from the head, corresponding to the number of storage compartments.
