Abstract
Abstract Discharge apparatus for pasty materials particularly in the form of a sealing gun and which is constructed as a quick change system. A replaceable fitting of an integrated, air-tight sealable cylinder unit to a feed means is provided and which can be constructed as a manually or pneumatically operated feed device. As a result of a releasable quick connection, it is possible to rapidly change cylinder units with different sealing compounds or colours for the following operation. The pasty materials in the air-tight sealed cylinder unit can be stored and transported over a longer period in the ready-to-use state.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A discharge apparatus (10) for pasty materials, comprising: a delivery unit fillable with pasty materials, and having a delivery cylinder (14) with a sidewall and with a closable discharge opening (17) on a discharge end, a feed piston (18) contained within the delivery cylinder (14), movable against the discharge opening (17) in the delivery cylinder (14) and cooperating in a sealing manner with the walls of the delivery cylinder (14), and a feed means (12) for connection and disconnection to the delivery unit for operation of the feed piston (18) residing in the delivery cylinder (14), the feed means including a movable operating member (27), wherein a drop-out preventer (21) is provided on a face of the delivery unit (13) connectable to the feed means (12); and quick disconnect means (26, 32) for quick disconnection of the delivery unit (13) including the feed piston from the feed means (12); and wherein the drop-out preventer prevents the feed piston (18) from dropping out of delivery unit (13) when the feed means is disconnected from the delivery unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
A discharge apparatus (10) for pasty materials, comprising: a delivery unit fillable with pasty materials, and having a delivery cylinder (14) with a sidewall and with a closable discharge opening (17) on a discharge end, a feed piston (18) contained within the delivery cylinder (14), movable against the discharge opening (17) in the delivery cylinder (14) and cooperating in a sealing manner with the walls of the delivery cylinder (14), and a feed means (12) for connection and disconnection to the delivery unit for operation of the feed piston (18) residing in the delivery cylinder (14), the feed means including a movable operating member (27), wherein a drop-out preventer (21) is provided on a face of the delivery unit (13) connectable to the feed means (12); and quick disconnect means (26, 32) for quick disconnection of the delivery unit (13) including the feed piston from the feed means (12); and wherein the drop-out preventer prevents the feed piston (18) from dropping out of delivery unit (13) when the feed means is disconnected from the delivery unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the delivery cylinder is filled or fillable with a pasty material-containing tubular bag.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the quick disconnect means includes a screw disconnection requiring less than one turn.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the feed means is constructed as a mechanically or pneumatically operating feed device with an operating device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the drop-out preventer is constructed as a constriction provided on the releasable end of the delivery cylinder and projecting into the interior of said delivery cylinder from the sidewall to restrict the piston (27) from removal from the delivery cylinder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the drop-out preventer is constructed as an inwardly projecting rim on a releasable end of the delivery cylinder.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A discharge apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the delivery cylinder is filled or fillable with a transparent tubular bag containing a pasty material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
63 words
A cylinder unit for the discharge apparatus according to claim 1 with the delivery cylinder fillable with pasty material and which has on its discharge-side face a sealable discharge opening and on its facing side a quick coupling element for the quick connection to a feed device and in the delivery cylinder is provided a sealably displaceable feed element for the pasty material.
