The invention relates to a container (1) for storing and discharging at least one component with at least one chamber (4, 4a, 4b), which is sealed on a first side by a plug (9), and with one applicator (5) attached on the first side. A flow connection between the at least one chamber (4, 4a, 4b) and the side of the applicator (5) facing away from the at least one chamber (4, 4a, 4b) is opened by a relative rotational movement of the applicator (5) to the container (1) and a subsequent axial relative movement of the plug (9) to the container (1) and the applicator (5), in particular due to pressure of the at least one component on the plug (9). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for storing and discharging at least one component.

A device and method store, mix, and apply polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, and comprise a first container (51) for a first pasty component of the bone cement, a dispensing plunger (54) that is arranged such that it can be shifted in the first container (51) for pressing the content of the first container (51) through a dispensing tube (62) situated opposite from the dispensing plunger (54), whereby the dispensing tube (62) is arranged such that it can be rotated and shifted in longitudinal direction through a feed-through in a side of the container (51) opposite from the dispensing plunger (54), and a mixing facility (72) for mixing the content of the first container (51), whereby the mixing facility (72) is arranged in the first container (51) and is secured to the dispensing tube (62), such that the mixing facility (72) can be moved in the first container (51) by moving the dispensing tube (62) in order to mix the content of the first container (51), whereby a closure (71) that can be opened is arranged on the end of the dispensing tube (62) pointing into the inside of the first container (51) and closes the dispensing tube (62), and an axially mobile core is arranged in the dispensing tube (62), and a second container for at least one second component of the bone cement is formed by the space between the closure (71) and the core in the dispensing tube (62), whereby the closure (71) of the second container can be removed from the first end of the dispensing tube (62) through an axial motion of the core and thus the second container can be opened with respect to the first container (51) such that the contents of the second container and of the first container (51) can be mixed with each other in the first container (51), whereby at least one boundary surface of the first container (51) is formed by a mobile volume compensation element (56) and the closure (71) is connected to the dispensing tube (62) by means of a deformable connection (74) such that the closure (71), even when it is open, is connected to the dispensing tube (62) by means of the deformable connection (74).

Described is an automated reagent mixing container for separately storing and automatically mixing together at least two stored reagent components.

The disposable assembly has a closed body, for containing a first component and having a lateral surface, a bottom and an upper opening. The bottom has a mounting projection extending within the body for its sealed interlocking engagement in the complementary conformation of the lower end of a hollow inner tubular member intended to contain a second component while its other end is closed by a sealing means. A shutter is tightly mounted on the opening of the body using screws, or by clipping or interlocking. The shutter and the sealing means or the shutter and the hollow tubular element can be a single piece. The presently described embodiments are suitable for producers of paint, varnishes, primers and other products to be sprayed or projected using a gun and other manufacturers of spray or paint guns.

A module includes a housing, a sealing feature, a locking feature, and an agitator. The housing has an opening separating inner and outer surfaces and a boss that extends through the housing such that part of the outer surface forms an inner bore of the boss having a terminus pointing toward the opening. The agitator has a base, a shaft, and a mixing element coupled to the base such that the base, in cooperation with the sealing feature, circumferentially seals the opening of the housing to form a cavity defined by the inner surface. The shaft passes through the inner bore. The locking feature when engaged permits independent or simultaneous translational and rotational movement of the shaft while an area between the terminus of the boss and the shaft remains mechanically sealed during the movement against liquid or powder encroachment into a clean area of the inner bore.

System and method for enabling accurate spoilage monitoring of a liquid food product or the like from the moment it is created, until the time it is either consumed or needs to be discarded. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a container for the food product, or a device to be attached to a container, is equipped with a switch, thermometer, other environmental sensors, controller and alarm. The switch is activated automatically or manually at the moment when the liquid food product is created, and then the temperature and other environmental parameters of the food product are monitored during the subsequent course of time, all the while keeping track of the temperature history of the product throughout the period, until the controller calculates that the maximum safe period has expired; whereupon an alarm is activated to warn the user to discard the product.

This invention relates to a container (1) which is pre-filled or pre-fillable with one or more substances, such as a medical liquid and similar, comprising a squeezable activation compartment (2) intended to contain said one or more substances, a dispensing compartment (3) including a first portion (31) equipped with at least one dispensing member (311, 312, 314) of said one or more substances, and a second portion (32), wherein said second portion (32) of said dispensing compartment (3) and said activation compartment (2) are fluid-dynamically connected, and an activator element (4) arranged inside said container (1). This invention also relates to a method for dispensing at least one substance by means of a container (1), and to a production method of a container (1).

The present invention relates to a combination of a container comprising a connecting portion and of a fluid preparation device, in particular a dialysis machine, which fluid preparation device is suitable for mounting and connecting the connecting portion of the container, wherein the fluid preparation device comprises at least one line which is in fluid communication with the interior of the container at least in the connected position of the container, the container being filled with a first medium, wherein the combination and preferably container comprises a reservoir containing a second medium, wherein the fluid preparation device comprises means for opening the reservoir so that the first and second medium are mixed with each other.

A dry powder and liquid mixing apparatus provides a dry powder container integratable with a liquid container, and a lid engaging both the dry powder container and the liquid container to enable selectable storage and mixing of powder and liquid, such as mixing dry infant formula with water. Through simple manual twisting of the lid about the liquid container to a closed state, a user is able to selectively prevent mixing of stored dry powder and liquid. Likewise, through simple manual twisting of the lid about the liquid container to an opened state, a user is able to selectively enable mixing of the dry powder with the liquid, by shaking the apparatus while the lid is in an opened state, resulting in a consumable mixed formula.
