A storage and mixing device for two-component polymethyl methacrylate bone cements having a cylindrical interior of a cartridge that is delimited on a front side by a cartridge head, a plunger arranged to be axially movable in the cylindrical interior of the cartridge and spaced from the cartridge head, a powdery first parent component of the bone cement, that is contained in the interior between the plunger and the cartridge head, a feed-through arranged in the cartridge head or in the cylinder barrel of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head. The feed-through is connectable to a fluid line, a receptacle for a monomer liquid, wherein the fluid line connects the feed-through to the receptacle in a liquid-permeable manner, and a press-out device pushable into the receptacle, so that monomer liquid is pressable out of the receptacle into the fluid line. The plunger (2) is spaced from a back side of the cylindrical interior, located opposite the front side, so that, by moving the plunger in the direction of the back side, the press-out device is pushable into the receptacle and a reduced pressure is producible in the interior of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head.

The present invention relates to a self-carbonating beverage container, comprising: a) beverage can housing adapted to hold to hold a fixed portion of liquid; b) a carbonating gas bottle containing carbonating gas stored under pressure having a breakable seal through which said carbonating gas is released, wherein said carbonating gas bottle is attached to said can; and c) a spout attached to said can such that one end of said spout is introduced into the beverage can housing and the spout other end comprises puncturing mean and it faces the breakable seal of said carbonating gas bottle, wherein actuating said puncturing mean enables the carbonating gas to flow into the beverage can housing.

An apparatus for producing a composition includes a holding device for holding first and second capsules including first and second deformable compartments, respectively, which contain a first formulation and a second formulation, respectively; a first compression element including a first compression surface designed to apply a pressure to the first deformable compartment of the first capsule; and a second compression element including a second compression surface designed to apply a pressure to the second deformable compartment of the second capsule. The first compression surface is designed to conduct and guide the contents of the first capsule to a first passage in the first capsule that can be fluidically connected to the first deformable compartment and the second compression surface is designed to conduct and guide the contents of the second capsule to a second passage in the second capsule that can be fluidically connected to the second deformable compartment.

One aspect relates to a device for the production of a bone cement dough from a monomer liquid and a cement powder comprising a cartridge with an internal space; a cartridge head with a dispensing opening; a conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a dispensing plunger between the dispensing opening and the conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a first hollow space, in which the cement powder is arranged; a second hollow space that is bordered by the dispensing plunger and the conveying plunger; a rear-side part of the internal space of the cartridge; and a conducting means that connects the second hollow space to the rear-side part of the internal space of the cartridge such as to bypass the conveying plunger and be permeable to the monomer liquid. The conducting means can be closed by the conveying plunger with respect to the second hollow space by shifting the conveying plunger in the direction of the dispensing plunger, and a feedthrough in the dispensing plunger that connects the first hollow space and the second hollow space such as to be permeable to the monomer liquid.

One embodiment relates to a device for the production of a bone cement dough from a monomer liquid and a cement powder comprising a cartridge with an internal space; a cartridge head with a dispensing opening; a conveying plunger that is arranged in the internal space of the cartridge and is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a dispensing plunger between the dispensing opening and the conveying plunger that is supported in the internal space of the cartridge such that it is pushable in the direction of the dispensing opening; a first hollow space, in which the cement powder is arranged; a second hollow space that is bordered by the dispensing plunger and the conveying plunger; a fluid opening that is arranged in the conveying plunger; a feedthrough that connects the first hollow space and the second hollow space to each other, and a closure means that is arranged on a rear side of the dispensing plunger. The closure means projects away from the dispensing plunger and is situated at a distance from the fluid opening. The fluid opening is closable with the closure means. The closure means is mobile in the closed fluid opening such that the fluid opening stays closed, while the conveying plunger is pushable further in the direction of the dispensing plunger.

A beverage container may comprise a beverage container lid assembly comprising at least one concentrate well to hold a concentrate vessel, a concentrate vessel retainer for each concentrate well to secure the concentrate vessel in the concentrate well, a feed line for each concentrate well comprising a feed line needle to puncture the concentrate vessel in the at least one concentrate well, a Venturi mixer in fluid communication with each feed line, a mixing valve in fluid communication with each feed line, wherein fluid flows from the concentrate vessel to the Venturi mixer when the mixing valve is open and the concentrate vessel is punctured by the feed line needle. Methods of using the beverage container and beverage container lid assembly are also described.

A mixing device for infusing/blending liquid nicotine with flavored e-juice. The mixing device includes a tubular body, a plunger screw cap, a puncture mechanism, and a capsule pod. The plunger screw cap includes a disk cap and a pod-receiving tube. The puncture mechanism includes a piercing portion and a structural mount. The piercing portion is mounted within the tubular body by the structural mount, oriented towards a bottom end of the tubular body. The piercing portion breaks open the capsule pod. The plunger screw cap is positioned adjacent to the bottom end. The pod-receiving tube holds the capsule pod and is concentrically connected to the disk cap. The pod-receiving tube is concentrically positioned within the tubular body, adjacent to the bottom end. The plunger screw cap is concentrically and slidably mounted along the tubular body to translate the capsule pod towards and away from the puncture mechanism.

An integrated at least two component mixing and delivery system and method for creating a new mixture from a first component contained within a first enclosure and a second component contained within a second enclosure that is contained within the first enclosure and, via a series of operations that mix the two components and enable the application of through an applicator tip the placement of the new mixture on at least one surface or a portion thereof.

A container for two or more viscous materials is provided that contains a reservoir, one or more mixing tube(s) and frame or shield, with one or more apertures arranged within the mixing tube. The container can include a frame and a first and second polymeric film joined to a first and, respectively second surface of the frame by one or more adhesive or seal seams.

A system for bone cement includes a vial holder configured for receiving a vial and including a holding structure for maintaining the vial in the vial holder. The vial includes a monomer component for bone cement. A holder chamber is configured to receive and secure the vial holder. The vial holder is advanced toward a vial-breaking device for breaking the vial and releasing its contents into the holder chamber past the elastomeric seal. Once the vial holder is advanced further the elastomeric seal is deformed to form a seal and prevent fumes produced from escaping from the device.
