Abstract

To achieve an, as far as possible, complete discharge of the plastic contents of a spray (injection) container which has, at its free end, an essentially circular-cylindrical connector projecting via a wall (6) of the container (1), to which an injection nozzle (20) can be attached, via which the material contained in the container (1) can be discharged, the injection nozzle (20) has a tube piece (28) which, when the injection nozzle is fitted, projects into the connector (2) and whose external diameter in that part (36) of the tube piece (28) projecting into the connector (2) is essentially equal to the internal diameter of the connector. <IMAGE>
