A cartridge assembly used with a conventional caulking gun for mixing and dispensing
components of a material. The cartridge assembly includes a component carrying
body that has a plurality of separate component reservoirs and a component flow
directing housing at a forward end of the reservoirs. A mixing unit extends between
the component flow directing housing and a discharge nozzle secured to the front
end of the carrying body. The mixing unit mixes the components and delivers them
to the discharge nozzle. The mixing unit includes a plurality of mixing cylinders
that each have a longitudinal axis that extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal
axis of the component carrying body. The mixing cylinders and guiding channels
that extend between them form at least a portion of a component mixing path. The
mixing cylinders can each include one or more mixing elements.
