Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an apparatus for the production of a flowable reaction mixture of at least two flowable components which mixture forms a foam or solid material, comprising: (a) storage means for said components; (b) supply lines leading from the storage means via metering pumps to a mixing head; (c) said mixing head having a mixing chamber; (d) injection openings connected to said supply lines and opening into said mixing chamber; (e) said mixing chamber having an outlet opening downstream of said injection openings; (f) said outlet opening having an elastic outlet tube whose throughflow cross section may be varied connected thereto; said apparatus further characterized in that: (g) the outlet tube has at least one means associated therewith for deflecting said outlet tube; (h) an ejection piston is associated with said outlet tube, which piston is capable of filling the outlet tube; the contour of the inside wall of said outlet tube corresponding to the external contour of said ejection piston.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
An apparatus for the production of a flowable reaction mixture of at least two flowable components which mixture forms a foam or solid material, comprising: (a) storage means for said components; (b) supply lines leading from the storage means via metering pumps to a mixing head; (c) said mixing head having a mixing chamber; (d) injection openings connected to said supply lines and opening into said mixing chamber; (e) said mixing chamber having an outlet opening downstream of said injection openings; (f) said outlet opening having an elastic outlet tube whose throughflow cross section may be varied connected thereto; said apparatus further characterized in that: (g) the outlet tube has at least one means associated therewith for deflecting said outlet tube; (h) an ejection piston is associated with said outlet tube, which piston is capable of filling the outlet tube; the contour of the inside wall of said outlet tube corresponding to the external contour of said ejection piston.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
An apparatus for the production of a flowable reaction mixture of at least two flowable components which mixture forms a foam or solid material, comprising: (a) storage means for said components; (b) supply lines leading from the storage means via metering pumps to a mixing head; (c) said mixing head having a mixing chamber; (d) injection openings connected to said supply lines and opening into said mixing chamber; (e) said mixing chamber having an outlet opening downstream of said injection openings; (f) said outlet opening having an elastic outlet tube whose throughflow cross section may be varied connected thereto; said apparatus further characterized in that: (g) the outlet tube has at least one means associated therewith for deflecting said outlet tube; (h) an ejection piston is associated with said outlet tube, which piston is capable of filling the outlet tube; the contour of the inside wall of said outlet tube corresponding to the external contour of said ejection piston.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that the outlet tube is arranged on the longitudinal axis of the mixing chamber and the ejection piston is also capable of filling the mixing chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that the outlet tube is connected to the outlet opening of the mixing chamber at an angle thereto, said mixing chamber being provided with its own ejection piston.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that said deflecting means comprises a transversely-displaceable rammer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that said deflecting means comprises a rocker arm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that said deflecting means comprises a supported pressure chamber which only partly surrounds the outlet tube.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that the outlet tube has means for retaining its original shape during the mixing phase.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
The apparatus of claim 1, characterized in that means are provided for aligning the outlet opening of the mixing chamber and the outlet opening of the outlet tube in different positions with respect to each other during the cleaning phase when compared with the mixing phase.
