A cartridge is provided having at least one reception chamber (2), which extends in the longitudinal direction, for a medium to be dispensed, having an end face (4) and a cartridge wall (3) which bound the reception chamber (2) and which are injection molded in one piece, with the end face (4) having an outlet for the medium, and with the cartridge wall (3) having a first film (6) at its inner side bounding the reception chamber (2) which extends over the total cartridge wall (3) and is non-releasably connected to the cartridge wall (3). A method of manufacturing such a cartridge as well as a multicomponent cartridge are furthermore provided by the invention.

A storage and mixing system for pasty two-component polymethyl methacrylate bone cements comprises a tubular cartridge having a cylindrical inner chamber, a dispensing plunger that is axially displaceable in the inner chamber of the cartridge, a partition disposed axially in the tubular cartridge, and a cartridge head which closes one end of the tubular cartridge. The cartridge head has a slot-shaped opening, wherein the partition protrudes from the inner chamber of the cartridge through the slot-shaped opening of the cartridge head, wherein the partition divides the cylindrical inner chamber of the cartridge bounded by the dispensing plunger and the cartridge head into two cavities that are spatially separated from one another. A first pasty cement component is present in the first cavity and a second pasty cement component is present in the separate second cavity, wherein the partition is removable through the slot-shaped opening of the cartridge head so that the two separate cavities are connected to one another after the partition is removed.

A piston for use in a cartridge for dispensing multi-part fluids, the piston being injection molded and having integrally formed circumferential seals, wherein the piston is molded in the absence of a longitudinal parting line across the seals. A tool for forming a piston having a plurality of circumferential seals for use in a cartridge for dispensing multi-part fluids, the tool comprising a plurality of segments together defining a piston cavity corresponding to an outer periphery of the piston.

A metering and mixing device contains a multichamber cartridge and a cartridge holder having a reception container for the multichamber cartridge and a compressed air connection and a connection for an application device. The reception container has an internal tube arranged coaxially to the walls of the cartridge holder and equipped with static mixing elements. The multichamber cartridge contains an upper portion having a directional valve, a middle portion configured as a tubular empty space surrounded by at least two chambers arranged tubularly in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cartridge, and a lower portion having a piston for each chamber. The multichamber cartridge is arranged in the cartridge holder such that the inner wall of the inner tube of the multichamber cartridge bears, leak-tight, against the outer wall of the tube of the cartridge holder.

A dual fluid cartridge assembly includes a cartridge, a flange, and a piston tube. The cartridge defines a channel and includes an flange. The flange defines a cavity that extends from a cavity opening to a cavity base. The cavity opening is positioned within the channel of the cartridge, and the cavity base is positioned external to the cartridge. The piston tube has an extended end, and is positioned at least partially within the channel. The extended end is positioned within the cavity.

A container assembly has a first container that operably houses a second container. The first container is configured to hold a first flowable substance, and the second container is configured to hold a second flowable substance. The second container is rupturable, preferably by manipulation through the first container, wherein the second flowable substance can mix with the first flowable substance to form a mixture. The first container is also rupturable to dispense the mixture therefrom.

A piston for dispensing a flowable component from a cartridge includes a piston having a base body and a venting element. The base body has a passage connecting a component side and an actuation side and has a passage opening. The venting element has an internal connection element and a pin which is partly arranged in the passage opening of the base body. The internal connection element and the pin are connected by a spring element. The pin of the venting element can adopt a sealing position and an aerating position. To enable a secure sealing, the spring element is configured such that it includes an angle of a maximum of 80 with the axial direction in the sealing position of the pin at a connection line to the internal connection element in the direction of an actuation side.

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 cartridge for a medium to be dispensed is disclosed. The cartridge includes a head part having a dispensing outlet, and a film forming a cartridge wall. The film bounds a cartridge chamber for the medium to be dispensed, and extends at least partially in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge. The film has a front end that is connected to the head part. The is a multilayer film having at least two layers formed from different materials. The front end of the film is sealingly and non-releasably embedded in the head part of the cartridge, such that an end face of the front end of the film is covered by the head part. A method of manufacturing a cartridge having a head part using a mold is also disclosed.

A dispensing apparatus includes two cylindrical sleeves, two flexible film pack bags disposed within the sleeves, the two film pack bags having an integrally formed rigid face plate bonded therewith, the face plate having a discharge nosepiece integrally formed therewith, the discharge nosepiece having a partition internally configured to maintain separate flow streams from the film pack bags. Two shuttles are slidingly disposed in the sleeves. Push rods are disposed in operable communication with the shuttles. At least one piston is disposed in operable communication with the push rods, the piston configured to drive the push rods. A holder is disposed proximate a front end of the sleeves, the holder configured to restrain the face plate during dispensing of a flowable material. A mixer is configured to be in fluid communication with flow streams from the film pack bags. A material applicator is disposed in fluid communication with the mixer.
