Abstract

The invention relates to a plastic capsule for the storage and delivery of dental material, the capsule exhibiting a cylindrical cavity in a first capsule section and connecting the first and a third capsule section in a second capsule section and the third capsule section being a dispensing nipple angled with respect to the first capsule section characterised in that the first capsule section exhibits a reinforced longitudinal side and a longitudinal formed in a round manner and the reinforced longitudinal side is an edge on a round tube, the edge forming the reinforcement, and to similar capsules with two reinforcement edges.

Claims (25)

1 . The plastic capsule for storage and delivery of dental material comprising

a first capsule section ( 1 ), a second capsule section ( 2 ), and a third capsule section ( 3 ),

a cylindrical cavity ( 4 ) in the first capsule section ( 1 ), connecting the first and a third capsule section ( 3 ) to a second capsule section ( 2 ) and the third capsule section ( 3 ) being a dispensing nipple angled with respect to the first capsule section ( 4 ), wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) comprises a reinforced longitudinal portion and a rounded longitudinal portion and the reinforced longitudinal portion includes an edge on a round tube, the edge forming the reinforcement.

2 . The plastic capsule for storage and delivery of dental material comprising

a first capsule section ( 10 ), a second capsule section ( 2 ), and a third capsule section ( 3 ),

a cylindrical cavity ( 4 ) disposed in the first capsule section ( 1 ) and connecting the first and the third capsule section in a second capsule section ( 2 ) and the third capsule section ( 3 ) being a dispensing nipple ( 3 ) angled with respect to the first capsule section ( 1 ), wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) comprises a flat longitudinal side and a longitudinal side formed in a round manner and the flat longitudinal side includes two edges as reinforcements vis-à-vis a round tube.

3 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) includes a collar.

4 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) exhibits at least 20% by weight more material as a result of the reinforcement than a round tube without reinforcement.

5 . The plastic capsule according to claim 4 , wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) exhibits at least 30% by weight more material as a result of the reinforcement than a round tube without reinforcement.

6 . The plastic capsule according to claim 5 , wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) exhibits at least 50% by weight more material as a result of the reinforcement than a round tube without reinforcement.

7 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement is arranged on the side facing away from the dispensing nipple ( 3 ).

8 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical cavity ( 4 ) is formed between an externally round groove and an externally cuboid groove.

9 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic capsule is formed in one piece.

10 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein is the plastic capsule is inscribed with four lines on a flat side.

11 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic capsule is suitable of applying a viscous dental compound.

12 . The plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic capsule has a discharge force of 600 N to 2000 N.

13 . A process for injection moulding for the production of a plastic capsule comprising the steps of

providing a first capsule section ( 1 ) having a cylindrical cavity ( 4 ), a central capsule section ( 2 ) connecting the first and a third capsule section and a third capsule section ( 3 ) which is a dispensing nipple ( 3 ) angled with respect to the first capsule section ( 1 ),

wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) is formed as a round tube longitudinally reinforced by an edge.

14 . A process for injection moulding for the production of a plastic capsule comprising the steps of p 1 providing a first capsule section ( 1 ) having a cylindrical cavity ( 4 ), a central capsule section connecting the first and a third capsule section and a third capsule section ( 3 ) which is a dispensing nipple ( 3 ) angled with respect to the first capsule section ( 1 ),

wherein the first capsule section ( 1 ) is formed in a round manner on a first side and in a flat manner on a second side.

15 . An applicator for receiving and discharging dental material from a plastic capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving device for the plastic capsule is axially rotatable.

16 . The applicator according to claim 15 , wherein the device for accepting the plastic capsule exhibits two locking positions.

17 . The plastic capsule according to claim 11 , wherein the viscous dental compound has a viscosity of 8.5 to 10 6 MPa.

18 . The plastic capsule according to claim 12 , wherein the plastic capsule has a discharge force of 600 N to 1000 N.
