A dispensing device for a multi-component composition comprising a housing (1) in the form of an elongate sleeve. The housing has a first end for receiving a compression device (3) and a second end defining an outlet (7) from which a supply of components housed within the housing are dispensed. Each component is retained within a compartment (21, 22) of a collapsible bag (2; 9, 10) prior to being dispensed. The collapsible bag compartments each have a sealed end for receiving pressure from the compression device and a dispensing end for dispensing a component via an outlet (23). The dispensing device is provided with a closure device (4) through which the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments extend. The closure device (4) is adapted to apply a clamping force on the dispensing ends to seal off the supply of the components and to release the clamping force when required to allow the components to be dispensed.
A re-sealable and re-useable dispensing device for a multi-component composition, the dispensing device comprising a housing generally in the form of an elongate sleeve having a first end for receiving a compression device and a second end defining shoulders that taper to an outlet from which a supply of components housed within the housing are to be dispensed, wherein each component is retained within a compartment of a collapsible bag prior to being dispensed, the collapsible bag compartments each having a sealed end for receiving pressure from the compression device and a dispensing end, which has been ruptured or is capable of rupturing, for dispensing a component via the outlet, wherein the dispensing device is provided with a closure device that the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments are arranged to extend through, the closure device being adapted to apply a clamping force on the dispensing ends to seal off, or to re-seal, the supply of the components until the next use and to release the clamping force when required to allow the components to be dispensed, wherein the closure device comprises a plurality of fingers that are arranged in a ring extending around an aperture to clamp off the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments, and wherein the closure device cooperates with a rotatable member in the form of a cap, which is turned from a first position to a second position to open and close off the closure device, and wherein the cap screws onto an external screw thread provided on an external surface of a neck region, the cap being unscrewed and replaced with a dispensing nozzle prior dispensing the components.
A re-sealable and re-useable dispensing device for a multi-component composition, the dispensing device comprising a housing generally in the form of an elongate sleeve having a first end for receiving a compression device and a second end defining shoulders that taper to a neck leading to an outlet of the dispensing device from which a supply of components housed within the housing are to be dispensed, wherein each component is retained within a compartment of a collapsible bag prior to being dispensed, the collapsible bag compartments each having a sealed end for receiving pressure from the compression device and a dispensing end, which has been ruptured or is capable of rupturing, for dispensing a component via the outlet, wherein the dispensing device is provided with at least one closure device that the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments are arranged to extend through, the at least one closure device being adapted to apply a clamping force on the dispensing ends to seal off, or to re-seal, the supply of the components until the next use and to release the clamping force when required to allow the components to be dispensed, wherein the at least one closure device comprises a plurality of fingers that are arranged to clamp off the dispensing ends of the collapsible bag compartments, wherein the at least one closure device is provided in an insert mounted within the dispensing device at a location upstream of the neck.
