A two-component piston for a cartridge includes a piston cover as the first component and a piston body as the second component. The piston has a first side and a second side, and a rear side of the piston cover arranged adjacent to at least a part of the piston body. A front side of the piston cover is arranged at the first side, and the rear side of the piston cover includes a valve member. The valve member is to be received within the piston body and to extend into the piston body towards the second side. The piston cover is configured to be moved relative to the piston body on actuation of the valve member and the piston cover is non-releasably connected to the piston body.

A piston for a collapsible cartridge for dispensing a material, the piston includes a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The rigid portion has a first diameter, a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to be disposed in a material dispensing direction. The flexible portion has a second diameter less than the first diameter, a first end disposed in the material dispensing direction and a second end disposed in an opposite direction. The flexible portion is disposed on the first end of the rigid portion such that the second end of the flexible portion is disposed to face the first end of the rigid portion. The flexible portion is configured to radially expand and longitudinally compress upon a force applied to the first end of the flexible portion to compress the collapsible cartridge between the flexible portion and an interior surface of a support cartridge.

A syringe assembly contains a fluid material, preferably two reactive fluid materials. The syringe assembly includes a syringe body having at least one barrel and a piston assembly movable within the barrel. An activatable plunger is in contact with the piston assembly effects dispensing movement of the piston assembly. The piston assembly includes an outer piston in sealed engagement with the barrel and an inner piston in sealed engagement with the outer piston. The inner piston is movable within the outer piston with and against the bias of a spring to maintain the inner piston in contact with the reactive material in the barrel upon thermal expansion and contraction of the reactive material.

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.

A piston for a cartridge has a medium side and an actuation side, and includes a piston body, a piston cover arranged adjacent to at least a part of the piston body and a valve arranged within the piston body and adjacent to the piston cover, the piston body including a centering portion arranged at an outer region of an outer peripheral surface thereof. The centering portion including at least one venting device.

A piston for a support sleeve of a dispensing assembly, the piston has a substantially cylindrical outer shape and includes a piston body as well as first and second film bag retainers arranged at opposite sides of the piston body.
