Abstract
The instant invention is directed to a mixing head for mixing reactants preferably for the production of foam. The mixing head is characterized as having a housing in which an ejector piston is guided, the guide bore of said piston being crossed by a guide bore for a restrictor slide which has a passage for the ejector piston, an outlet element being situated immediately subjacent to said passage, and, in the most preferable embodiment, the restrictor slide and ejector piston being connected to a control device.
Claims5
A mixing head for mixing at least two components which react with each other to form a foam, comprising a housing having a first guide bore for an ejector piston, a section of the first guide bore forming a mixing chamber into which inlet apertures for the components open, one end of the mixing chamber being bounded by the end face of the ejector piston when the piston is withdrawn, an outlet opening being situated at the opposite end of the mixing chamber, a restrictor slide slidable in a second guide bore, the second guide bore being adjacent the outlet of the mixing chamber and arranged transversely relative thereto, the restrictor slide having a passage therethrough, the cross-section of which is at least equal to the cross-section of the ejector piston, the passage connecting the mixing chamber to an outflow conduit in every position of the restrictor slide, the internal cross-section of the outflow conduit being at least equal to the cross-section of the ejector piston.

A mixing head for mixing at least two reactive components comprising:
- (A) a housing having
- (i) an ejector piston guide bore therein,
- (ii) a mixing chamber within said ejector piston guide bore and into which inlet apertures for said reactive components open, said mixing chamber further defined as having an outlet opening,
- (iii) a restrictor piston guide bore arranged transversely of said outlet opening,
- (iv) an outflow bore arranged transversely of said restrictor piston guide bore, and communicating with said outlet opening via said restrictor piston guide bore;
- (B) an ejector piston slidably located in said ejector piston guide bore, and slidable through said mixing chamber, said restrictor piston guide bore, and said outflow bore;
- (C) a restrictor piston slidably located in said restrictor piston guide bore and having a passage therethrough, said passage adapted to directly connect said outlet opening and said outflow bore, and said passage being of such a cross-section that said ejector piston can pass therethrough.
