The device for storing, mixing, and dispensing components is provided with means for mixing (6) a first component (27) with a second, liquid component (28) and for dispensing the mixed materials. The individual components (27, 28) are stored in respective containers (2, 3) that are arranged side by side, and a valve assembly (8) is arranged in the transfer area (7) between the outlet area (26) of the container (3) for storing the second, liquid component (28) and the liquid inlet (25) of the container (2) for storing the first component (27). Such a device allows an unproblematic storage of the different components without a local separation of the containers and an efficient mix thereof. This applies especially if the first component is a powder or a granular or porous substance, e.g. bone cement or bone replacement material.
Device for storing, mixing, and dispensing components, comprising means for mixing a first component with a second, liquid component and for dispensing the mixed material, characterized in that the individual components are disposed in respective containers that are arranged side by side and a closure or a connecting channel is selectively provided in the transfer area between the outlet area of the container for storing the second, liquid component and the liquid inlet of the container for storing the first component.
A device for storing, mixing, and dispensing components, comprising means for mixing a first component with a second, liquid component and for dispensing the mixed material, wherein the individual components are disposed in respective containers that are arranged side by side and a valve assembly is provided in the transfer area between the outlet area of the container for storing the second, liquid component and the liquid inlet of the container for storing the first component, the device comprising at least another container for a liquid component and the outlet for the mixture composed of the first component and the second, liquid component from container and the outlet for the additional liquid component being provided with a common closure, and the two outlets forming a common coupling for a mixer or an accessory.
Mixing arrangement for a container of a dispensing device, wherein the mixing arrangement is guided by the dispensing means for the mixture and comprises a mixing rod with a mixing member that is movable back and forth and rotatable in the container.
Valve assembly for a dispensing device having two containers, wherein the assembly is designed as a three-way valve and comprises a rotary ring with a circular internal groove extending over a part of the circumference, that allows to selectively connect one bore in the common inlet/outlet portion of the valve assembly to one of the inlets/outlets of the containers or both inlets/outlets of the containers to each other, or to close all inlets/outlets.
