Patent ID: 8733593

Claim:
A discharging device for discharging at least one flowable component from a cartridge comprising at least one reservoir, comprising: a cartridge holder; at least one advancing element that is mounted on the cartridge holder and that is adapted to be axially advanced relative to the cartridge holder along a distal direction of advancing, which advancing element is configured to act on the at least one reservoir of the cartridge in order to dispense from the reservoir a component received in the reservoir; a cartridge with at least one reservoir for a component, wherein the reservoir is configured in such a manner that the component can be dispensed from the at least one reservoir through an outlet opening by distal advancement of the advancing element, the at least one reservoir being fixable in the cartridge holder so as to be essentially non-rotational, the cartridge comprising a retaining element that relative to the at least one reservoir is axially secured in terms of the direction of advancing; at least one catching element that is movable relative to the at least one reservoir; a rotating element that is mounted on the cartridge holder and is axially secured relative to the cartridge holder and is rotatable at least between a first orientation and a second orientation about a rotary axis that extends along the direction of advancing, wherein in the first orientation the rotating element makes it possible to axially insert the cartridge into the cartridge holder against the direction of advancing, allowing axial sliding of the retaining element into the rotating element, and wherein the rotating element is configured to axially fix the cartridge inserted into the cartridge holder when it is in the second orientation, comprising a locking region which in the second orientation of the rotating element establishes a positive-locking connection or a non-positive-locking connection with the retaining element in relation to the distal direction of advancing; and at least one sealing plug for the outlet opening of the at least one reservoir, wherein the catching element is configured to be taken along by the rotating element when the rotating element is rotated to a third orientation, which differs from the first orientation and the second orientation, in order to open the at least one reservoir, and wherein the sealing plug is connected to the catching element, and wherein the sealing plug is removable from the outlet opening of the at least one reservoir by the movement of the catching element.
