Embodiment Construction

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the dispensing syringe device (10) of the present invention is generally shown. The dispensing syringe (10) includes a double-barreled syringe body (12); a split-threaded plunger rod assembly (14); and a rotatable, threaded, connector knob (16). A dispensing tip (18) is preferably installed at the distal end of the syringe body (12) as shown in FIG. 2. The dispensing tip (18) is used for mixing first and second components of a dental composition and then dispensing the mixed composition onto a selected target such as, for example, a plastic matrix for making a temporary crown or bridge. In the following detailed description, we will primarily refer to the syringe device (10) containing the dispensing tip (18) as illustrated in FIG. 2. It should be understood, however, that the dispensing tip (18) is an optional feature of the syringe (10), and it may be desirable to use the syringe (10) without the dispensing tip (18) in some dental proc...

Abstract

A dispensing syringe for dispensing a multi-component dental composition, preferably a two component composition, is provided. The syringe includes a syringe body with multiple elongated barrels for storing the components of the composition; a threaded plunger rod assembly; and a rotatable, threaded connector knob. Preferably, the syringe body has a double-barrel structure and the plunger rod assembly includes two plunger rods that slide within the barrels. The threaded knob has a through-bore with a continuous internal thread for engaging the outer threads of the first and second plunger rods. A dental practitioner manually rotates the knob to displace the first and second plunger rods and discharge the components. The dispensing syringe may further include a dispensing tip containing a static mixing element for mixing the components and dispensing the mixed composition.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to a dispensing device for dispensing a multi-component composition such as, for example, epoxy cements, adhesives, medicaments, and dental materials. More particularly, the invention relates to a dispensing syringe having a syringe body with at least two elongated barrels. Each barrel is used to store and dispense a component of the composition. The dispensing syringe may include a dispensing tip containing a static mixing element for mixing the components and then dispensing the mixed composition. Preferably, the syringe is used to mix and dispense a dental composition such as, for example, a dental cement or adhesive. [0003] 2. Brief Description of the Related Art [0004] Dental professionals use dispensing syringes for storing, mixing, and dispensing a wide variety of dental compositions. For instance, a dentist may use a dispensing syringe in preparing and dispensing denta...
