Abstract
Abstract The dispensing cartridge comprises a storage cylinder and a dispensing piston whose bottom surface is progressively recessed from the piston edge towards an aeration bore. An overflow chamber is disposed around said aeration bore, overflow slots being provided in the wall which forms said aeration bore. Said aeration bore is sealed by a closure whose peg portion extends into said bore and whose head is provided with a surrounding bead which snaps into a corresponding annular groove in the outer wall of said overflow chamber. Such a cartridge prevents a disturbing effect of the material flowing out when the dispensing piston is inserted, and during the aeration procedure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A dispensing cartridge with a storage cylinder and a dispensing piston whose bottom surface facing the cartridge contents is progressively recessed towards an air evacuation bore, said evacuation bore having a wall and being sealed by a closure, wherein said wall is provided with overflow slots leading from said evacuation bore to an overflow chamber which is disposed around said evacuation bore, said overflow chamber being sealed by said closure as well, wherein said closure comprises a peg portion which moves into said bore when said closure is moved from an open position to a closed position, and a head having a surrounding bead which, in the closed position, snaps into an annular groove in an outer wall of said overflow chamber, and wherein said evacuation bore is provided with a progressively contracting cross-section in a direction away from said storage cylinder, said progressively contracting cross-section terminating in a cross-slot so as to throttle flow of material therethrough.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A dispensing cartridge with a storage cylinder and a dispensing piston whose bottom surface facing the cartridge contents is progressively recessed towards an air evacuation bore, said evacuation bore having a wall and being sealed by a closure, wherein said wall is provided with overflow slots leading from said evacuation bore to an overflow chamber which is disposed around said evacuation bore, said overflow chamber being sealed by said closure as well, wherein said closure comprises a peg portion which moves into said bore when said closure is moved from an open position to a closed position, and a head having a surrounding bead which, in the closed position, snaps into an annular groove in an outer wall of said overflow chamber, and wherein said evacuation bore is provided with a progressively contracting cross-section in a direction away from said storage cylinder, said progressively contracting cross-section terminating in a cross-slot so as to throttle flow of material therethrough.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The dispensing cartridge of claim 1, wherein said surrounding bead is connected to said head by a resilient collar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The dispensing cartridge of claim 1, wherein said bottom surface of said dispensing piston is provided with radially extending slot-shaped recesses which run into said evacuation bore.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
142 words
A dispensing cartridge with a storage cylinder and a dispensing piston whose bottom surface facing the cartridge contents is progressively recessed towards an air evacuation bore, said evacuation bore having a wall and being sealed by a closure, wherein said wall is provided with overflow slots leading from said evacuation bore to an overflow slots disposed around said evacuation bore, said overflow chamber being sealed by said closure as well, wherein said closure comprises a screwed sealing plug which moves into said bore and has a head which seals off said overflow chamber when said closure is moved from an open position to a closed position, and wherein said evacuation bore is provided with a progressively contracting cross-section in a direction away from said storage cylinder, said progressively contracting cross-section terminating in a cross-slot so as to throttle flow of material therethrough.
