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.

Bone cement applicators and methods for application of a bone cement dough, the applicators and methods comprise a tubular cartridge with an internal space, a dispensing plunger for expelling the starting components through an opening of the cartridge opposite from the dispensing plunger, wherein the dispensing plunger is mobile in longitudinal direction in the internal space of the cartridge. The applicators and methods further comprise a hose, an application opening, a three-way valve operable from outside and arranged or arrangeable in the hose or on a side of the hose facing the cartridge, and a collecting container arranged on the three-way valve. The three-way valve is designed and arranged or arrangeable in the applicator such that it, being in a first position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the opening of the cartridge and closes a feed-through to the collecting container and, being in a second position, provides a fluid connection between the application opening and the collecting container and closes a passage to the opening of the cartridge.

A paste application device stores two starting components for mixing the starting components to form a paste and for application of the formed paste. The device comprises a two-component cartridge comprising two internal spaces, two feed plungers shiftable in the internal spaces and bordering the internal spaces on a first side of the two-component cartridge, and at least two dispensing openings by means of which the internal spaces are open on a second side of the two-component cartridge that is opposite from the first side. The device further comprises a hollow cylinder that is made of a plastic material and has one front face that is open and one front face that is partially closed, in which is situated an axially mobile plunger that has at least two pestles attached to it, wherein the at least two pestles are oriented in the direction of the open front face, wherein the open front face of the hollow cylinder is arranged to axially touch against the first side of the two-component cartridge, and a connector for a compressed gas cartridge extends through an opening in the pressure vessel wherein a flap valve can be used to regulate the volume flow of the starting components through the dispensing openings, and whereby the flap valve is operable by means of a rod assembly of the paste application device, whereby the rod assembly is supported with a clearance of at least 0.3 mm in at least one direction that is perpendicular to the main direction.

A multicomponent cartridge which is designed for single use includes two separate supply chambers arranged coaxially of each other and two pistons. The two pistons are movable via a plunger to simultaneously discharge two components. A guide element guides the two pistons in the respective supply chambers and contains a discharge opening for discharging the first component. The guide element is movable relative to a housing via a movement element in order to open the discharge opening.

A compound applicator includes a nozzle assembly including a nozzle opening and a plug movable relative to the nozzle opening between a first position in which the nozzle assembly is in a closed state, and a second position in which the nozzle assembly is in an open state, a spring configured to bias the plug into the first position, a cylinder configured to receive and store a compound material, a main housing, a handle rotatable relative to the main housing, a pull rod having a first end coupled with the plug, and an input mechanism located at least partially within the handle and/or the main housing and configured to convert rotational motion of the handle into axial movement of the pull rod, thereby moving the plug from the first position toward the second position. The spring pulls the pull rod such that the pull rod is biased into tension.

A mortar applicator includes: a duct; a piston movably mounted within the duct, dividing the duct into first and second variable volume chambers; a pump fluidly connected to the first variable volume chamber; a nozzle operatively connected to a first end of the duct to discharge mortar contained in the first variable volume chamber; and a motor operatively connected to the piston. A rack and pinion assembly operatively connects the motor to the piston and includes a rack configured to drive the piston and a pinion connected to the motor. In a discharge mode, the motor drives the rack and pinion assembly, moving the piston to force mortar through the nozzle opening to discharge mortar from the mortar applicator. In a refill mode, the pump fills the first variable volume chamber with mortar, forcing the piston to retract. The rack moves with the piston in the discharge and refill modes.

A compound delivery applicator comprising a substantially conical portion comprising a first end configured to couple to a compound receptacle and an applicator blade coupled to the substantially conical portion. The applicator blade comprises a first portion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of and from a second end of the substantially conical portion, the first portion comprising a first side edge and a second side edge each forming an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion and a scraper coupled to the first portion distal the substantially conical portion. The compound delivery applicator further comprises a compound delivery channel extending internally through at least a portion of the substantially conical portion, the compound delivery channel further extending through the scraper of the applicator blade and configured to pass a compound therethrough.
