Abstract:
Apparatus for carrying out a mixing dispensing of a plurality of discrete flowable components from a multiple chambered vessel having a discrete flowable component in each chamber of the multiple chambered vessel and an outlet from each chamber of the multiple chambered vessel;a housing which can be placed onto the multiple chambered vessel, the housing having an outlet opening, a tubular part, and an inlet;a static mixer disposed in the tubular part of the housing;a transition piece for producing separate supply passages from each outlet of each chamber of the multiple chambered vessel to the inlet of the housing, the separate supply passages being symmetrically disposed about an axis through the transition piece;a transition part for capturing the transition piece between the outlets from each chamber of the multiple chambered vessel and the inlet to the housing; and,a discrete rotational positioner attached to the transition piece and extending to the multiple chambered vessel for maintaining a plurality of rotational positions relative to the axis through the transition piece in any desired rotational position, at least some rotational positions aligning an outlet from each chamber of the multiple chambered vessel to a separate supply passage of the transition piece whereby when the housing is changed, the transition piece can likewise be changed and aligned to one of the rotational positions to permit mixing of the discrete flowable components from the multiple chambered vessel.
