Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zweikomponentenbehälter mit zwei voneinander getrennten und nach Herausstoßen eines Stopfens miteinander kommunizierenden Behältern, wobei jeder Behälter eine Kammer zur Aufnahme einer Komponente aufweist, mit einem Gewinde an einem Hals des einen Behälters und einem weiteren Gewinde, welches mit dem anderen Behälter verbunden ist, wobei die Gewinde ineinandergreifen, und der eine Behälter derart gegen den anderen Behälter schraubbar ist, daß der Stopfen aus seinem Halteelement gestoßen wird, und wobei ein Zwischenstück zwischen den Behältern vorgesehen ist, welches mit einer Auflage auf dem oberen Rand des unteren Behälters aufliegt.The invention relates to a two-component container with two of each other separated and after pushing a plug together communicating containers, each container having a chamber for receiving has a component with a thread on a neck of one Container and another thread, which is with the other container is connected, the threads engage, and the one container can be screwed against the other container in such a way that the stopper comes out of its Holding element is pushed, and wherein an intermediate piece is provided between the containers which rests on the upper edge of the lower container with a support.

Aus der FR 2 239 390 A ist ein Zweikomponentenbehälter dieser Art bekannt.A two-component container of this type is known from FR 2 239 390 A.

Aus der DE-OS 37 22 371 ist ein Zweikomponentenbehälter bekannt, welcher für eine getrennte Aufnahme einer Haarfarbe und eines Oxidationmittels geeignet ist. Nach dem Herausstoßen des Stopfens werden diese beiden Komponenten miteinander vermischt, um eine aktive Haarfarbe zu erhalten. Unterhalb des Außengewindes des unteren Behälters ist an dessen Hals ein ringförmig umlaufender Wulst vorgesehen, um den Zweikomponentenbehälter dahingehend abzudichten, daß die aktive Haarfarbe nicht ausfließen kann.A two-component container is known from DE-OS 37 22 371, which is for separate absorption of a hair color and an oxidizing agent suitable is. After pushing out the plug, these two Components mixed together to get an active hair color. Below the external thread of the lower container is at the neck annular bead provided around the two-component container to seal in such a way that the active hair color cannot flow out.

Der bekannte Zweikomponentenbehälter hat den Nachteil, daß die Dichtwirkung des Wulstes sehr stark von der Fertigungsgenauigkeit des Wulstes und der an ihn angrenzenden Bauteile abhängt, was den Zweikomponentenbehälter verteuert. Zum anderen kann aktive Haarfarbe zwischen die Gewinde gelangen. Und schließlich kann ein evtl. im Zweikomponentenbehälter auftretender Überdruck nur in Abhängigkeit der Fertigungstoleranz besser oder weniger gut nach außen abgebaut werden.The known two-component container has the disadvantage that the sealing effect of the bead very much on the manufacturing accuracy of the bead and the it depends on adjacent components, which is the two-component container expensive. On the other hand, active hair color can get between the threads. And finally, a possibly occurring in the two-component container Overpressure only better or less good depending on the manufacturing tolerance be dismantled to the outside.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Zweikomponentenbehälter der eingangs beschriebenen Art dahingehend auszugestalten, daß eine gute Abdichtung auch bei größerer Fertigungstoleranz erfolgt, und daß hierbei ein Überdruck reproduzierbar abgebaut wird. The invention is based on the object of a two-component container kind described above in such a way that a good Sealing takes place even with a greater manufacturing tolerance, and that a Overpressure is reproducibly reduced.

Gelöst ist die Aufgabe gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1. Danach ist ein ringförmiges Verbindungsstück mit dem oberen Behälter verbunden, und ist am Verbindungsstück eine Dichtlippe vorgesehen, die zwischen dem Verbindungsstück und dem Zwischenstück derart anliegt, daß die Dichtlippe nach außen vom Zwischenstück elastisch wegstellbar ist, um so eine Ventilwirkung zu erzeugen.The problem is solved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. After that is one annular Connection piece connected to the upper container, and is on Connector provided a sealing lip that between the Connection piece and the intermediate piece so that the sealing lip is elastically displaceable outwards from the intermediate piece, so as to be one To generate valve action.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, daß der Zweikomponentenbehälter auch bei größerer Fertigungstoleranz gut abgedichtet wird, da die Dichtlippe elastisch wegstellbar zwischen dem Verbindungsstück und dem Zwischenstück anliegt, und eine ungenauere Distanz durch ihre Elastizität ausgleicht. Ein Überdruck wird durch die Ventilwirkung der Dichtlippe reproduzierbar abgebaut. Zudem kann die aktive Haarfarbe nicht zwischen die Gewinde gelangen, da dies von der Dichtlippe verhindert wird. Die Dichtlippe kann am Verbindungsstück angeformt sein und am Zwischenstück anliegen oder umgekehrt.The invention has the advantage that the two-component container also greater manufacturing tolerance is well sealed because the sealing lip is elastic is positioned so that it can move between the connecting piece and the intermediate piece, and compensates for a less precise distance due to its elasticity. An overpressure is reproducibly degraded by the valve effect of the sealing lip. moreover the active hair color cannot get between the threads, because of the sealing lip is prevented. The sealing lip can on the connector be molded and rest on the adapter or vice versa.

Ist sowohl die Dichtlippe als auch der Bereich des Zwischenstücks, der an der Dichtlippe anliegt, ringförmig umlaufend ausgestaltet (Anspruch 2), so erfüllt die Dichtung in umlaufender Weise ihre Funktion.Is both the sealing lip and the area of the intermediate piece on the Sealing lip rests, designed in a circular circumference (claim 2), so the Seal their function in a circumferential manner.

Der weiteren Abdichtung des Zweikomponentenbehälters dient eine Dichtung im Bereich des oberen Randes des unteren Behälters, mittels der das Zwischenstück gegenüber dem Rand abgedichtet wird (Anspruch 4).A seal in the further sealing of the two-component container serves Area of the upper edge of the lower container by means of which the Intermediate piece is sealed off from the edge (claim 4).

Zum einfachen und sicheren Aktivieren des Zweikomponentenbehälters kann ein mit dem oberen Behälter verbundener, mindestens eine Öffnung aufweisender Ausstoßer vorgesehen werden, wobei der Stopfen durch den Widerstand des Ausstoßers nach unten aus einem Halteelement des Zwischenstücks, in dem der Stopfen sitzt, ausgestoßen werden kann (Anspruch 3). Nach einem Ausstoßen kann Produkt durch die Öffnung fließen, wodurch sich die Komponenten vermischen.For simple and safe activation of the two-component container an at least one opening connected to the upper container having ejector are provided, the plug through the Resistance of the ejector down from a holding element of the Intermediate piece, in which the stopper is seated, can be ejected (claim 3). After ejection, product can flow through the opening, causing the components mix.

Der Zweikomponentenbehälter kann besonders gut zur Ausbringung der aktiven Haarfarbe genutzt werden, wenn seine knautschbare Zone mindestens 50 Prozent der axialen Gesamtbehälterbauhöhe einnimmt (Anspruch 6). Dem manuellen Knautschen kommt insbesondere die geringe Höhe der Trennzone zwischen den einzelnen Behältern zu Gute.The two-component container is particularly good for spreading the active ones Hair color can be used when its crushable zone is at least 50 Percent of the total axial container height takes up (claim 6). the manual crumple comes in particular the low height of the separation zone between the individual containers.

Ein Sicherungsring, nach dessen Abtrennen ein Behälter gegen den anderen Behälter schraubbar ist (Anspruch 5), dient der Verhinderung einer ungewünschten Aktivierung des Zweikomponentenbehälters.A circlip, after separating one container against the other Container can be screwed (claim 5) serves to prevent a unwanted activation of the two-component container.
