Mixing and Dispensing Device and Method for Preparing and Applying an Adhesive Consisting of at Least Two Components

A device for storing, mixing and dispensing a two component adhesive, the device comprising:

• a syringe body having a dispensing end and an opposing sealable end, the syringe body having an inner wall defining a substantially cylindrical cavity, the syringe body having a fluid flow path between the dispensing end and the sealable end, the cavity being fluidly connected to a dispensing opening at the dispensing end;
• a piston disposed in the cavity adjacent the sealable end for movement toward the dispensing end by a user;
• a separating element disposed within the cavity, the separating element and cavity defining a first chamber between the separating element and dispensing end and a second chamber between the separating element and piston, the separating element movable from a first position between the flow path and piston, through a second position adjacent the flow path to a third position between the flow path and the dispensing end, wherein the first chamber and second chamber are fluidly separated by the separating element in the first position, the first chamber and second chamber are fluidly connected by the flow path when the separating element is adjacent the second position and the first chamber and second chamber are fluidly separated by the separating element in the third position.
