Abstract

A breech for a dual-component cartridge with a breech plug with two sealing bolts which can be inserted into the two mutually separated outlet openings at the cartridge throat and seal these openings tightly, and with a retaining nut that can be screwed onto the cartridge throat. This nut can turn relative to the breech plug and can be locked to it in an axial direction and released therefrom. In order that the breech plug will be held by the retaining nut without additional parts and so that it can again be easily separated from it, between the retaining nut and the breech plug a manual-detachable snap-in connection is formed by the relative movement of the breech plug in the axial direction.

Description

Die Neuerung betrifft einen Verschluß für eine Zweikomponenten-Kartusche nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The innovation relates to a closure for a two-component cartridge after the Preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Verschluß für eine Zweikomponenten-Kartusche ist aus der US 5 301 842 A bekannt. Dort ist auf dem Kartuschenkopf einer Doppel-Koaxialkartusche ein um die Längsachse drehbares Absperrorgan mittels einer Schraubmuffe befestigt. Das Absperrorgan, das gleichzeitig zum Aufschrauben einer Mischdüse dient, besteht im wesentlichen aus einem oben offenen Hohlzylinder mit unteren Öffnungen, die durch Drehung des Hohlzylinders zur Deckung mit entsprechenden Austrittsöffnungen am Kartuschenkopf gebracht werden können. Das Absperrorgan weist ein Gewinde zum Aufschrauben der Mischdüse und ein radial nach außen vorstehendes Griffelement zur Betätigung auf. Das Absperrorgan enthält außerdem eine Umfangsnut, in welche die Schraubmuffe derart eingreift, daß ein Einrasten beider aus Kunststoff bestehender Teile durch elastische Materialverformung und entsprechende Flankengestaltung ermöglicht wird.Such a closure for a two-component cartridge is known from US 5,301,842 A known. There is on the cartridge head of a double-coaxial cartridge around the Longitudinal axis rotatable obturator by means of a screw sleeve attached. The obturator, which also serves to screw a mixing nozzle, consists essentially of a open hollow cylinder with lower openings, which by rotation of the hollow cylinder for Cover with appropriate outlet openings are brought to the cartridge head can. The obturator has a thread for screwing the mixing nozzle and a radially outwardly projecting handle element for actuation. The obturator contains In addition, a circumferential groove, in which engages the screw sleeve such that a snap both made of plastic existing parts by elastic material deformation and appropriate edge design is possible.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, den Verschluß so auszubilden, daß die Schnappverbindung zwischen dem Verschlußstopfen und der Überwurfmutter leicht von Hand gelöst werden kann.The object of the invention is to form the closure so that the Snap connection between the plug and the nut slightly from Hand can be solved.

Gelöst wird dieser Aufgabe durch einen Verschluß mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar. This object is achieved by a closure with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the dependent claims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der Verschluß weist eine Überwurfmutter 1 auf, die mit einem Innengewinde 2 versehen ist, mit welchem die Überwurfmutter 1 auf das Außengewinde 3 des Kartuschenhalses 4 auf- und abschraubbar ist. Der Kartuschenhals 4 weist zwei halbmondförmige Austrittsöffnungen 5 auf, die durch Trennwände 6 voneinander getrennt sind. The closure has a union nut 1, which is provided with an internal thread 2, with which the union nut 1 on the external thread 3 of the cartridge neck 4 up and can be unscrewed. The cartridge neck 4 has two half-moon-shaped outlet openings 5 on, which are separated by partitions 6 from each other.

Der Verschluß weist weiterhin einen Verschlußstopfen 7 auf, der zwei Dichtungsbolzen 8 umfaßt, die in die Austrittsöffnungen 5 einsetzbar sind und diese abdichtend verschließen. Der Verschlußstopfen 7 weist eine radial verlaufenden Schulter 9 auf, die zur Anlage an den oberen Rand des Kartuschenhalses 4 kommt und somit die Einsetztiefe der Dichtungsbolzen 8 begrenzt.The closure further comprises a stopper 7, the two sealing bolts. 8 includes, which are insertable into the outlet openings 5 and sealingly seal them. The stopper 7 has a radially extending shoulder 9, which abutment against the Upper edge of the cartridge neck 4 comes and thus the depth of insertion of the sealing bolt. 8 limited.

An die Schulter 9 schließen sich zwei Schenkel 10 an, welche achsparallel verlaufen und über die Öffnung 18 der Überwurfmutter 1 überstehen. Am oberen Ende der Überwurfmutter 1 ist eine umlaufende nach Innen vorspringende Rastnase 11 angeformt. Diese Rastnase 11 greift in Rastvertiefungen 12 der Schenkel 10 ein. Die Rastnase ist keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Keilspitze 13 nach oben weist, an welche sich nach unten eine Schrägfläche 14 anschließt, an welche eine radial verlaufende Schulter 15 sich anschließt.At the shoulder 9, two legs 10 join, which run parallel to the axis and over the opening 18 of the union nut 1 survive. At the upper end of the union nut 1 is a circumferential inwardly projecting locking lug 11 formed. This latch 11 engages in locking recesses 12 of the legs 10 a. The detent is wedge-shaped, wherein the wedge tip 13 points upwards, to which an inclined surface 14 adjoins, to which a radially extending shoulder 15 connects.

Die Rastvertiefung 12 wird nach unten begrenzt durch eine radial verlaufende Schulter 16. Oberhalb der Rastvertiefungen 12 ist eine schräg verlaufende Rampe 17 angeformt.The detent recess 12 is bounded below by a radially extending shoulder 16th Above the locking recesses 12 an inclined ramp 17 is formed.

Zum Verbinden der Überwurfmutter 1 mit dem Verschlußstopfen 7 wird dieser von der Gewindeseite der Überwurfmutter 1 durch die Öffnung 18 der Überwurfmutter 1 gedrückt, bis die Rastnase 11 in die Rastvertiefung 12 einrastet. Der Verschlußstopfen 7 kann auch in die Austrittsöffnungen 5 eingesetzt werden, worauf dann die Überwurfmutter 1 aufgeschraubt wird, bis die Rastnase 11 in die Rastvertiefungen 12 eingreift.To connect the union nut 1 with the stopper 7, this is from the Threaded side of the union nut 1 pressed through the opening 18 of the union nut 1, until the detent 11 engages in the locking recess 12. The stopper 7 can also in the outlet openings 5 are used, whereupon the union nut 1 is screwed is until the latch 11 engages in the locking recesses 12.

Soll die Verbindung zwischen der Überwurfmutter 1 und dem Verschlußstopfen 7 gelöst werden, werden die Schenkel 10 gegeneinander zusammengedrückt, womit dann die Verriegelung zwischen der Überwurfmutter 1 und dem Verschlußstopfen 7 gelöst wird. Nach dem Herausnehmen des Verschlußstopfens 7 aus den Austrittsöffnungen 5 dient dann die Überwurfmutter 1 zur Befestigung eines statischen Mischers 19 am Kartuschenhals.If the connection between the union nut 1 and the stopper 7 is released be, the legs 10 are pressed against each other, which then the Lock between the union nut 1 and the stopper 7 is released. To the removal of the stopper 7 from the outlet openings 5 then serves the Union nut 1 for attachment of a static mixer 19 at the cartridge neck.
