Abstract
Abstract A syringe having a bearing divided at least once in the axial direction of a threaded rod into bearing parts. The bearing parts are held at a distance from one another and at a distance from the threaded rod by at least one expanding part. The bearing parts, on their surfaces facing the threaded rod, have surfaces which can be brought by external pressure into engagement with the threaded rod against the resistance of the bearing parts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
217 words
A syringe for the controlled discharge of a viscous material, comprising: a cartridge for holding the material; an inner stopper in said cartridge; an adapter part having radially movable bearing parts, with each bearing part having a threaded segment; at least one expanding part; and a rotary piston, with the rotary piston having an inserted end configured to be inserted into one end of the cartridge, with the rotary piston configured substantially in the form of a threaded rod, with the inserted end of the rotary piston configured to press against the inner stopper, with the threaded rod movably held in the adapter part between the bearing parts, with the bearing parts held in a rest position by the at least one expanding part at a distance from one another in a radial direction of the threaded rod and at a distance from the threaded rod such that the threaded segments of the bearing parts are spaced from the threaded rod, and with the bearing parts movable between the rest position in which the threaded segments of the bearing parts are spaced at a distance from the threaded rod and a compressed position in which the threaded segments of the bearing parts directly engage the threads on the threaded rod by external pressure on the bearing parts.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the expanding part is formed on at least two opposite surfaces of two opposite bearing parts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the expanding part is connected to an opposite surface of the bearing parts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two bearing parts are formed which lie on radially opposite sides of the threaded rod.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the expanding part is formed on a side of the bearing parts facing the threaded rod.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the expanding part is held in grooves in the syringe.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bearing parts are guided in guides so that they can move in the radial direction.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cartridge is locked in the adapter part to prevent axial displacement.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 10, wherein the cartridge is locked by means of a bayonet fastener.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
29 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 11, wherein one part of the bayonet fastener is located on an end of the cartridge in which the rotary piston is inserted.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
38 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 10, wherein the cartridge can be locked in the adapter part by an axial rotation of the cartridge against a stop in a direction of rotation and advance of the rotary piston.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
27 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cartridge is guided in a guide in the adapter part on an end farther from an insertion end.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
37 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adapter part, on an end in which the threaded rod is inserted, is closed by a ring cap on an end surface through which the threaded rod passes.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
17 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 15, wherein the adapter part is formed from two shell halves.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
16 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 16, wherein the two shell halves are substantially identical parts.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
17 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein there are two bearing parts which are substantially identical.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
43 words
A syringe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner stopper has a membrane surface contacting the end of the rotary piston, and wherein in a depressurized state, the membrane surface is prestressed against a direction of forward thrust of the rotary piston.
