Abstract

The dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe comprising a housing configured to receive the cartridge that has an internal thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread, the internal thread and the rotatable portion cooperating in such a manner that by mutual rotation thereof, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in the dispensing direction. The housing is configured to receive the cartridge that has two adjacent storage containers, and a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram without any pressure relief. This arrangement allows dispensing even highly viscous materials from cartridges with little manual force under high pressure and in a precisely metered manner.

Claims (41)

1. A dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe, comprising:

a housing configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing has a housing thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread,

wherein the housing thread and the rotatable portion cooperate in such a manner that by a mutual rotation of the housing thread and the rotatable portion, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in a dispensing direction,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe having at least two adjacent and parallel storage containers,

wherein a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram with a single thrust plate, and

wherein the multiple ram slides in the at least two adjacent and parallel storage containers of the multiple cartridge or syringe and the thrust plate is non-rotatably guided inside the housing.

2. The dispensing appliance of claim 1 , wherein the rotatable portion comprises an external sleeve and an internal cylinder having the complementary thread, wherein the complementary thread cooperates with the housing thread, and wherein the complementary thread comprises an external thread and the housing thread comprises an internal thread.

3. The dispensing appliance of claim 1 , wherein the rotatable portion is provided on its outlet side with a centrally arranged bearing acting upon the thrust plate of the multiple ram.

4. A dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe, comprising:

a housing configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing has a housing thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread,

wherein the housing thread and the rotatable portion cooperate in such a manner that by a mutual rotation of the housing thread and the rotatable portion, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in a dispensing direction,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe having at least two adjacent storage containers,

wherein a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram sliding in the at least two adjacent storage containers of the multiple cartridge or syringe,

wherein the rotatable portion is provided on its outlet side with a centrally arranged bearing acting upon a thrust plate of the multiple ram, and

wherein the centrally arranged bearing on the rotatable portion comprises a spherically shaped bearing surface and wherein the spherically shaped bearing surface corresponds to a correspondingly spherically shaped bearing surface on the thrust plate.

5. A dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe, comprising:

a housing configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing has a housing thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread,

wherein the housing thread and the rotatable portion cooperate in such a manner that by a mutual rotation of the housing thread and the rotatable portion, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in a dispensing direction,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe having at least two adjacent storage containers,

wherein a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram sliding in the at least two adjacent storage containers of the multiple cartridge or syringe,

wherein the rotatable portion is provided on its outlet side with a centrally arranged bearing acting upon a thrust plate of the multiple ram, and

wherein the thrust plate has two cams and wherein the two cams are guided in respective guiding grooves inside the housing.

6. A dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe, comprising:

a housing configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing has a housing thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread,

wherein the housing thread and the rotatable portion cooperate in such a manner that by a mutual rotation of the housing thread and the rotatable portion, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in a dispensing direction,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe having at least two adjacent storage containers,

wherein a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram sliding in the at least two adjacent storage containers of the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the multiple cartridge or syringe is provided at its outlet end with bayonet slots and wherein the bayonet slots come to rest on bayonet reinforcement members at the outlet end of the housing.

7. A dispensing appliance for a multiple cartridge or syringe, comprising:

a housing configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing has a housing thread and a rotatable portion that has a complementary thread,

wherein the housing thread and the rotatable portion cooperate in such a manner that by a mutual rotation of the housing thread and the rotatable portion, the rotatable portion is continuously displaceable relative to the housing in a dispensing direction,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the multiple cartridge or syringe having at least two adjacent storage containers,

wherein a thrust force of the rotatable portion is transmitted to a multiple ram sliding in the at least two adjacent storage containers of the multiple cartridge or syringe, and

wherein the housing of the multiple cartridge or syringe further comprises a graduation and wherein the graduation cooperates with a front edge of a sleeve of the rotatable portion in order to indicate a dispensed volume.

8. The dispensing appliance of claim 4 , wherein the rotatable portion comprises an external sleeve and an internal cylinder having the complementary thread, wherein the complementary thread cooperates with the housing thread, and wherein the complementary thread comprises an external thread and the housing thread comprises an internal thread.

9. The dispensing appliance of claim 4 , wherein the thrust plate is non-rotatably guided inside the housing.
