Abstract
A discharge device discharges the content of a container by applying a compressed gas. The device has a housing, at least one compressed gas container, an operating device for setting a gas flow from the compressed gas container and an opening means for opening the compressed gas container. The opening means is movable in relation to the compressed gas container, and the device has a holder for securing the container on the device. The holder is in operative connection with the opening means in such a way that securing the container on the holder brings about a movement of the opening means in relation to the compressed gas container that opens the compressed gas container.
Claims26
A dispensing device for extruding a content of a first container through applying a compressed gas, the device comprising a housing, at least one compressed gas container, an operating facility, and an opener, wherein the opener is mobile with respect to the at least one compressed gas container wherein the dispensing device further comprises a bracket, wherein the bracket and the opener are in operative connection for opening the at least one compressed container by movement of the bracket relative to the compressed gas container when the first container is attached to the bracket, wherein the first container is a cartridge or a cartridge system having multiple cartridges, wherein the cartridge or the cartridge system contains a bone cement or a multi-component bone cement.
A method for activating a dispensing device for extruding a content of a first container through applying a compressed gas, wherein the device comprises a housing, at least one compressed gas container, an operating facility, and an opener, wherein the opener is mobile with respect to the at least one compressed gas container, wherein the dispensing device further comprises a bracket for attaching the first container to the dispensing device, wherein the bracket and the opener are in operative connection for opening the at least one compressed gas container by movement of the bracket relative to the compressed gas container when the first container is attached to the bracket, the method comprising:
- inserting the container containing a material to be extruded into the bracket of the dispensing device, wherein force applied while inserting the first container is utilized to rotate or shift the bracket, wherein the rotating or shifting of the bracket moves the opener against the at least one compressed gas container of the dispensing device, and the at least one compressed gas container is opened through motion of the opener.
A dispensing device for extruding a content of a first container through applying a compressed gas, the device comprising:
- a housing having an interior;
- at least one compressed gas container having an entire length defined between a first end and a second end located opposite with respect to the first end of the at least one compressed gas container;
- an operating facility comprising at least one selected from a trigger and a valve;
- an opener that is mobile with respect to the at least one compressed gas container;
- and
- a bracket;
- wherein the bracket and the opener are in operative connection for opening the at least one compressed gas container by movement of the bracket relative to the compressed gas container when the first container is attached to the bracket, and
- further wherein the entire length of the at least one compressed gas container is located or positioned within the interior of the housing.
