Abstract:
1. An element for mounting in a tube having a longitudinal axis for mixing at least two flowable components that react on mixing to form a solidified mass, said element comprising a pair of parallel longitudinally disposed outer walls parallel to said longitudinal axis; a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart intermediate walls between said pair of outer walls and parallel to said longitudinal axis; a plurality of transverse walls, each said transverse wall secured to and extending between a respective one of said outer walls and a respective one of said intermediate walls; a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart webs, each said web secured to and extending perpendicularly between said outer walls; a plurality of mixing chambers disposed in rows longitudinally of said longitudinal axis and laterally of each other for receiving and mixing at least two flowable components therein; each said mixing chamber being disposed between a respective one of said outer walls, a pair of consecutively disposed transverse walls in a respective row, a pair of consecutively disposed intermediate walls and a pair of consecutively disposed webs in said respective row, said pair of consecutively disposed intermediate walls defining a first inlet to said chamber and a first outlet from said chamber and one of said webs defining a second inlet to said chamber with one of said transverse walls and a second outlet from said chamber with the other of said webs; and at least one of said mixing chambers having a first corner filling forming a concave surface between one of said outer walls and one of said transverse walls for directing the flowable components towards said first outlet.
