Abstract
A dispensing apparatus includes a body, two inlets for flowable masses and two outlets through which the flowable masses can be dispensed, with one inlet being connected to one outlet and the other inlet being connected to the other outlet through the body. The two inlets are spaced apart from one another by a first spacing and the two outlets are spaced apart from one another by a second spacing, and with the second spacing being larger than the first spacing. A connection ring engages the body and is pre-mounted to the body. The dispensing apparatus is configured to be non-releasably connected to a two-component cartridge via the connection ring for the supply of the flowable masses to the inlets.
Claims22
A dispensing apparatus, comprising:
- a body, first and second inlets for flowable masses and first and second outlets through which the flowable masses are capable of being dispensed, with the first inlet being connected to the first outlet and the second inlet being connected to the second outlet through the body, the first and second inlets being spaced apart from one another by a first spacing and the first and second outlets being spaced apart from one another by a second spacing, the second spacing being larger than the first spacing, the body defining a first outer surface at the first outlet and a second outer surface at the second outlet, the first and second outer surfaces at least partially facing each other and being spaced from each other so as to form a gap therebetween;
- and
- a connection ring configured to engage the body and being pre-mounted at the body,
- the dispensing apparatus being configured to be non-releasably connected to a two-component cartridge via the connection ring for supply of the flowable masses to the first and second inlets.
A dispensing system comprising:
- a dispensing apparatus comprising a body, first and second inlets for flowable masses and first and second outlets through which the flowable masses are capable of being dispensed, with the first inlet being connected to the first outlet and the second inlet being connected to the second outlet through the body, the first and second inlets being spaced apart from one another by a first spacing and the first and second outlets being spaced apart from one another by a second spacing, the second spacing being larger than the first spacing, and a connection ring configured to engage the body and being pre-mounted at the body, the first outlet defining a first outer surface and the second outlet defining a second outer surface, the first and second outer surfaces at least partially facing each other and being spaced from each other so as to form a gap therebetween, the dispensing apparatus being configured to be non-releasably connected to a two-component cartridge via the connection ring for supply of the flowable masses to the first and second inlets;
- and
- a two-component cartridge, with each cartridge of the two-component cartridge being capable of being filled with separate flowable masses.
A method of dispensing flowable masses, the method comprising:
- providing a dispensing system comprising a dispensing apparatus including a body, first and second inlets for flowable masses and first and second outlets through which the flowable masses are capable of being dispensed, with the first inlet being connected to the first outlet and the second inlet being connected to the second outlet through the body, the first and second inlets being spaced apart from one another by a first spacing and the first and second outlets being spaced apart from one another by a second spacing, the second spacing being larger than the first spacing, and a connection ring configured to engage the body and being pre-mounted at the body, the first outlet defining a first outer surface and the second outlet defining a second outer surface, the first and second outer surfaces at least partially facing each other and being spaced from each other so as to form a gap therebetween, the dispensing apparatus being configured to be non-releasably connected to a two-component cartridge via the connection ring for supply of the flowable masses to the first and second inlets, and a two-component cartridge, with each cartridge of the two-component cartridge being capable of being separate flowable masses;
- dispensing the flowable masses from the dispensing system;
- and
- a subsequent mixing of the flowable masses by hand.
