Abstract
Abstract The device for applying one or several fluids, particularly a multi-component fluid, such as medical tissue or dental adhesives, comprises a head piece (9) having channels (25 to 28) for each fluid extending from an inlet side of the head piece (9) to a connection site of the head piece (9). The tubular body (10) comprises an inlet end facing the connection site of the head piece (9) and an outlet end facing away from the inlet end. The tubular body (10) comprises an outer wall, which, at least sectionally, is configured such that the tubular body (10) is plastically deformable, particularly plastically bendable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A device for applying one or several fluids, at least one fluid, comprising: a head piece having a plurality of channels extending from an inlet side of the head piece to a connection site of the head piece, one of said plurality of channels corresponding to each of the at least one fluid to be applied, a tubular body including a plurality of tube sections clampingly and articulately interconnected, an outer wall, which, at least sectionally, is configured such that the tubular body is plastically deformable, an inlet end facing the connection site of the head piece, and an outlet end facing away from the inlet end, a flexible multiple lumen tube extending from the connection site of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube having lumen aligned with said plurality of channels of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube being disposed within the tubular body.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
149 words
A device for applying one or several fluids, at least one fluid, comprising: a head piece having a plurality of channels extending from an inlet side of the head piece to a connection site of the head piece, one of said plurality of channels corresponding to each of the at least one fluid to be applied, a tubular body including a plurality of tube sections clampingly and articulately interconnected, an outer wall, which, at least sectionally, is configured such that the tubular body is plastically deformable, an inlet end facing the connection site of the head piece, and an outlet end facing away from the inlet end, a flexible multiple lumen tube extending from the connection site of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube having lumen aligned with said plurality of channels of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube being disposed within the tubular body.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
223 words
A device for applying at least one fluid, comprising: a head piece having a plurality of channels extending from an inlet side of the head piece to a connection site of the head piece, one of said plurality of channels corresponding to each of the at least one fluid to be applied. a tubular body, the tubular body having an inlet end facing the connection site of the head piece and an outlet end facing away from the inlet end, said tubular body including an outer wall, which, at least sectionally, is configured such that the tubular body is plastically deformable. a flexible multiple lumen tube extending from the connection site of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube having lumen aligned with said plurality of channels of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube being disposed within the tubular body, wherein the outer wall of the tubular body is at least sectionally configured so as to be circumferentially folded in a zigzag-like manner, and that each of said folded sections comprises first radially inwardly directed and second radially outwardly directed wall sections, which are alternately arranged in succession, the first and the second wall sections having different axial lengths, and the outer wall comprising circumferentially extending folding or kinking regions along the connections between the first and second wall sections.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
223 words
A device for applying at least one fluid, comprising: a head piece having a plurality of channels extending from an inlet side of the head piece to a connection site of the head piece, one of said plurality of channels corresponding to each of the at least one fluid to be applied. a tubular body, the tubular body having an inlet end facing the connection site of the head piece and an outlet end facing away from the inlet end, said tubular body including an outer wall, which, at least sectionally, is configured such that the tubular body is plastically deformable. a flexible multiple lumen tube extending from the connection site of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube having lumen aligned with said plurality of channels of the head piece, said flexible multiple lumen tube being disposed within the tubular body, wherein the outer wall of the tubular body is at least sectionally configured so as to be circumferentially folded in a zigzag-like manner, and that each of said folded sections comprises first radially inwardly directed and second radially outwardly directed wall sections, which are alternately arranged in succession, the first and the second wall sections having different axial lengths, and the outer wall comprising circumferentially extending folding or kinking regions along the connections between the first and second wall sections.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The device according to claim 2, wherein the outer wall of the tubular body is configured as a folded section over the entire axial length of the tubular body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
(The device according to claim 1, wherein ball-and socket joints interconnection of adjacent pairs of the tube sections.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
23 words
The device according to one of claims 1 2, 3, 4, or 5 wherein the tubular body is formed from a polymer material.
