The apparatus for production of mixtures from two components has a container for each and devices to combine the components in the mixing space and for extrusion of the mixture. The powdered component (4) is situated in the lower part of the inner space (21), which is sealed by a bottom (10). This carries a nozzle (2) with closure membrane (3). The inner space (21) is closed on the top by the lower wall (6) and the sliding seal (8). The liquid component (9) is situated in the inner space (18) of the inner hollow cylinder (5). This is closed on the top by the upper wall (11). The lower and upper wall (6) and (11) each have an opening with sealing lips (7) and (12) that are closed by parts of the mixing rod (15). A torus (20), a section with smaller diameter (19), a mixing disk (22), as well as a mandrel (24), are present on the lower part of the mixing rod (15).
A mixing syringe comprising:
Apparatus for production of mixtures of two components with a container for one component and a container for the other component, and with devices for combining the two components in a mixing space, and devices for extrusion of the finished mixture, characterized by the fact that the powdered component 4 is situated in the lower part of the inner space 21 of the outer hollow cylinder 1, which is closed on its lower end with a bottom 10 that carries a nozzle 2 that is sealed relative to inner space 21 by means of a closure membrane 3, whereas the upper part of the inner space 21 is closed by the lower wall 6 of the inner hollow cylinder 5, in which a sliding seal 8 is present for the required sealing, and that the liquid component 9 is situated in the inner space 18 of the inner hollow cylinder 5, which is disposed to reciprocate in the outer hollow cylinder 1 and is closed on its lower end by the lower wall 6, whereas its upper end is closed by the upper wall 11, and that the lower wall 6, as well as the upper wall 11, each have an opening with the sealing lip 7 and 12 that are closed by those parts of the mixing rod 15 that have the larger diameter 17, and that on the lower part of the mixing rod 15 a torus 20, a section with smaller diameter 19, a mixing disk 22, as well as a mandrel 24 are present.
