The present invention is an integrated at least two component system and method which combines at least two or more components and creates at least one new mixture. This system contains at least one first component in a first, optionally sealed, container and at least one second component in a second sealed container that is contained in or adjacent to the first container. Both components can be in a single container sealed off from each other. This system enables the mixing of these components to produce a new mixture, and then enables the application of this new mixture to be applied on at least one surface

Methods of forming the solid-shell cosmetic ingredient capsule comprise forming a portion of the shell, adding the cosmetic material to the portion of the shell, and forming the remaining portion of the shell.

A system and apparatus for opening and emptying a bag of material includes a base having a pair of opposed sides and a central aperture through which material may flow. The system includes a pair of opposed doors rotatably mounted on a pair of door shafts, the edges of the pair of opposed doors forming an opening and a plurality of piercing blades pivotally mounted to the base on a pivot rod, the blades capable of pivoting to pierce said bag. The system further includes a cutting blade mounted transversely below the opening of the opposed doors, the cutting blade capable of linear motion across the opening.

The present utility model relates to a fogger, comprising: a casing with an air suction inlet and a spray port; an air duct assembly located in the said casing, wherein the air duct assembly includes an air duct shell and a fan, of which the said air duct shell has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air duct that connects the said air inlet and the said air outlet, and the said fan is located in the said air duct; the said air inlet is connected to the said air suction inlet, the said air outlet is connected to the said spray port; and a liquid storage tank located in the said casing, wherein the liquid storage tank delivers liquid to the said spray port via a liquid delivery tube, and the said air duct is connected to the said liquid storage tank via an air delivery tube. A fogger of the present utility model can effectively improve the convenience of use.

An apparatus for mixing bone cement can comprise a receiving chamber, a mixing chamber, a cannula, a base, and a piston located within the mixing chamber. The receiving chamber defining a conduit. The mixing chamber in fluid communication with the receiving chamber. The mixing chamber configured to house a first component of the bone cement. The cannula located in the receiving chamber and in fluid communication with the conduit. The base including a bladder arranged to be punctured by the cannula, the bladder configured to house a second component of the bone cement. Upon puncturing of the bladder by the cannula the second component of the bone cement passes through the conduit and the cannula into the mixing chamber. The piston configured to seal the mixing chamber upon movement of the piston from a first position relative to the conduit to a second position relative to the conduit.

A storage and mixing device for PMMA bone cements having a cylindrical interior of the cartridge that is delimited on a front side by a cartridge head with a closed delivery opening, a plunger which is arranged to be axially movable in the cylindrical interior of the cartridge and which is spaced from the cartridge head. The plunger circumferentially rests against the inner wall of the interior, so that the plunger divides the interior of the cartridge into two sections in a gas-tight manner, a powdery first parent component of the bone cement, which is contained in the interior between the plunger and the cartridge head, a feed-through which is arranged in the cartridge head or in the cylinder barrel of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head, wherein the feed-through is connected to a fluid line in which a monomer liquid as a second parent component of the bone cement is contained or into which a monomer liquid is fillable or introducible. A filter is arrangeable in the cartridge head, in the feed-through and/or in the fluid line, wherein the filter is permeable to the monomer liquid and impermeable to the first parent component, wherein the plunger is spaced from a back side of the cylindrical interior, located opposite the front side, to an extent that, by moving the plunger in the direction of the back side, a reduced pressure is producible in the interior of the cartridge between the plunger and the cartridge head, wherein the reduced pressure is able to suck the monomer liquid out of the fluid line into the interior of the cartridge.

A device for discharging a flowable substance, in particular for applying a medical substance, a pharmaceutical substance, a food supplement or a cosmetics, includes_an activation mechanism and a body which has a discharge opening at a first end and forms a containing space in which a frangible capsule is disposed. The capsule has two ends each having a first and a second tip and at least one of the two tips can be snapped off by actuating the activation mechanism so that the flowable substance is discharged.

A method for reconstitution of substances includes a liquid container having a pre-determined volume of diluent and a powder container having a corresponding pre-determined amount of powder to be reconstituted. The method allows an individual to safely reconstitute the powder into a liquid solution having the desired concentration without measuring or potential spillage. The powder container includes a female threaded connection designed for liquid-tight attachment to the liquid container and further includes a breakable membrane seal which, when broken by the distal end of the liquid container, creates an orifice for the diluent to enter the powder container to reconstitute the powder and thereafter be displaced into the liquid container for use. Before the membrane seal is broken, the pre-determined amount of powder partially occupies the powder container chamber.
