Package for a dental material
First Claim
1. A package for the storage and dispensing of a plurality of materials comprising:
- a first and a second longitudinally juxtaposed barrels;
each said barrel having a first and a second end;
each said first and second barrels having a quantity of at least one of the materials initially contained therein;
each said barrel having an open end and a dispensing end;
a sealing plunger disposed in each said barrel such that the material in each said barrel is initially positioned between said dispensing end of said barrels and the respective ones of said sealing plungers;
a snap cap contiguously formed to initially close each of said dispensing ends of said barrels;
such that said snap cap may be broken from said barrels to thereby forming a secondary open end at said dispensing end of said barrels, thereby facilitating the material contained in each said barrel to flow through and be dispensed.

Abstract
A package (10) for the storage and dispensing of a plurality of materials includes a first and a second longitudinally juxtaposed barrels (11, 12). Each barrel (11,12) having a first and a second end (20, 21). Each first and second barrels (11, 12) having a quantity of at least one of the materials initially contained therein, and each barrel having an open end (20) and a dispensing end (21). A sealing plunger (40) disposed in each barrel (11, 12) such that the material in each barrel (11, 12) is initially positioned between the dispensing end (21) of the barrels (11, 12) and the respective ones of the sealing plungers (40). A snap cap (23) is contiguously formed to initially close each of the dispensing ends (21) of the barrels (11, 12), such that the snap cap (23) may be broken from the barrels (11, 12) to thereby forming a secondary open end (22) at the dispensing end (21) of the barrels (11, 12), thereby facilitating the material contained in each barrel (11, 12) to flow through and be dispensed.

2. A storing and dispensing system a plurality of materials comprising:
a first and a second longitudinally juxtaposed barrels;
each said barrel having a first and a second end;
each said first and second barrels having a quantity of at least one of the materials initially contained therein;
each said barrel having a primary open end and a dispensing end;
a sealing plunger disposed in each said barrel such that the material in each said barrel is initially positioned between said dispensing end of said barrels and the respective ones of said sealing plungers;
a snap cap contiguously formed to initially close each of said dispensing ends of said barrels;
such that said snap cap may be broken from said barrels to thereby forming a secondary open end at said dispensing end of said barrels, thereby facilitating the material contained in each said barrel to flow through and be dispensed; and
, a dispensing gun having a first and a seconded laterally displaceable gun plungers, and an actuating means for laterally displacing said gun plungers;
said first and second barrels having means to removably affix said barrels to said gun;
said first gun plunger being receivable within said primary open end of said first barrel, and being laterally displaceable therethrough to contact said seal plunger located in said first barrel; and
, said second gun plunger being receivable within said primary open end of said second barrel, and being laterally displaceable therethrough to contact said seal plunger located in said second barrel.

3. A package for the storage and dispensing of a plurality of materials comprising:
a first and a second longitudinally juxtaposed barrels;
each said barrel having a first and a second end;
each said first and second barrels having a quantity of at least one of the materials initially contained therein;
each said barrel having an open end and a dispensing end;
a sealing plunger disposed in each said barrel such that the material in each said barrel is initially positioned between said dispensing end of said barrels and the respective ones of said sealing plungers;
a snap cap contiguously formed to initially close each of said dispensing ends of said barrels;
such that said snap cap may be broken from said barrels to thereby forming a secondary open end at said dispensing end of said barrels, thereby facilitating the material contained in each said barrel to flow through and be dispensed; and
a mix-tip removably affixed to said first and second barrels and having a dispensing aperture, such that the material that is dispensed from said secondary openings is caused to flow through said mixtip, and out through said dispensing aperture;
a static mixing element contained within said mixtip to promote intimate contact and mixing of the materials.

a first and a second longitudinally juxtaposed barrels;
each said barrel having a first and a second end;
each said first and second barrels having a quantity of at least one of the materials initially contained therein;
each said barrel having a primary open end and a dispensing end;
a sealing plunger disposed in each said barrel such that the material in each said barrel is initially positioned between said dispensing end of said barrels and the respective ones of said sealing plungers;
a snap cap contiguously formed to initially close each of said dispensing ends of said barrels;
such that said snap cap may be broken from said barrels to thereby forming a secondary open end at said dispensing end of said barrels, thereby facilitating the material contained in each said barrel to flow through and be dispensed; and
, a dispensing gun having a first and a seconded laterally displaceable gun plungers, and an actuating means for laterally displacing said gun plungers;
said first and second barrels having means to removably affix said barrels to said gun;
said first gun plunger being receivable within said primary open end of said first barrel, and being laterally displaceable therethrough to contact said seal plunger located in said first barrel; and
