Abstract:
1. A discharge apparatus for discharging at least one component from at least one container, the container having an outlet and a discharge element in the form of a piston rod, the apparatus comprising: an elongate and sleeve-shaped housing element to removably receive the at least one container, the housing element defining a longitudinal passage to allow the discharge element to pass through the housing element, the passage having a lateral opening; a drive member in the form of a threaded rod, the threaded rod to engage on the discharge element of the at least one container, the threaded rod being axially movable along an axial direction and rotationally fixed relative to the housing element; and a rotary member disposed on or in the housing element in a manner to be rotatable and axially fixed relative to the housing element, the rotary member cooperating with the drive member via a threaded connection such that a rotation of the rotary member relative to the drive member causes the drive member to move axially relative to the housing element so as to drive the discharge element of the at least one container for discharging the at least one component, wherein the housing element has, at a first end, a container seat for detachably receiving the at least one container and, at a second end, a rotary member seat for detachably receiving the rotary member.
