Abstract

The invention relates to a two-component container (1). According to the invention, two chambers (6, 7) can be connected by expelling a sealing plug (5). The sealing plug (5), which has two stoppers (12, 13), can be pushed out of the elements (14, 15) holding it in place by screwing one container (3) into a thread (4) which is connected to another container (2). The two separate stoppers (12, 13) of the sealing plug (5) provide a reliable seal. As the container (3) is screwed in, the lower stopper (13) is expelled first by the upper stopper (12). The upper stopper (12) is then expelled by an expelling element (22). The inventive two-component container (1) is suitable for storing peroxide and hair colorant separately. After it has been expelled, the sealing plug (5) helps the two components to mix.

Bei bekannten Zweikomponentenbehaltern dieser Art, bei denen eine Folie als Dichtmittel zwischen den Behaltern vorgesehen ist, werden Materialien mit guten Barriereeigenschaften für die Herstellung der Folie verwendet, um eine Diffusion zwischen einem in einer Kammer befindlichen Peroxid und einer Haarfarbe in der anderen Kammer zu verhindern Eine Abdichtung über eine einzige Dichtstelle der Folie fuhrt zu einer unsicheren Abdichtung insbesondere bei der Serienhersteilung des ZweikomponentenbehaltersIn known two-component containers of this type, in which a film is provided as a sealant between the containers, materials with good barrier properties are used for the production of the film in order to prevent diffusion between a peroxide in one chamber and a hair color in the other chamber Sealing via a single sealing point of the film leads to an unsafe seal, particularly in the series production of the two-component container
Aus der FR-OS 2610901 ist ein Zweikomponentenbehalter bekannt, bei dem eine in einem oberen Behalter befindliche Komponente einer in einem unteren Behalter befindlichen Komponente zugegeben werden kann Dazu wird zuerst der Verschluß des unteren Behalters nach unten herausgedruckt und danach der am Boden des oberen Behalter angeordnete, zweite Verschluß entferntFrom FR-OS 2610901 a two-component container is known, in which a component located in an upper container can be added to a component located in a lower container. For this purpose, the closure of the lower container is first pressed down and then the one arranged on the bottom of the upper container , second closure removed
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Zweikomponentenbehalter der eingangs beschriebenen Art dahingehend auszugestalten so daß eine sichere Abdichtung zwischen den einzelnen Behaltern vorkommt und ein einfaches und sicheres Vermischen der Komponenten erreicht wirdThe invention is based on the object of designing a two-component container of the type described at the outset so that a secure seal occurs between the individual containers and simple and safe mixing of the components is achieved
Gelost ist die Aufgabe gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 Danach besteht der Dichtpfropfen aus zwei einzelnen Stopfen, wobei der obere Stopfen nach oben aus einem mit dem oberen Behalter verbundenen - 2 -The object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. According to this, the sealing plug consists of two individual plugs, the upper plug being connected at the top by one to the upper container - 2 -
Halteelement losbar ist, ist der untere Stopfen durch den Widerstand des oberen Stopfens nach unten von einem Halteelement eines Zwischenstucks ablösbar, liegt das Zwischenstuck mit einer Auflage auf dem oberen Rand des unteren Behalters auf, und weist das Zwischenstuck ein gegen den oberen Stopfen wirkendes, separates Ausstoßelement aufHolding element is detachable, the lower stopper can be detached from a holding element of an intermediate piece by the resistance of the upper stopper, the intermediate piece lies with a support on the upper edge of the lower container, and the intermediate piece has a separate, acting against the upper stopper Ejection element on
Der erfmdungsgemaße Zweikomponentenbehalter hat den Vorteil, daß er eine doppelte Abdichtung zwischen den einzelnen Komponenten aufweist, da jeder Stopfen eine Abdichtung vornimmt Das Vermischen der einzelnen Komponenten geschieht in einfacher Weise durch Einschrauben des unteren Behalters in Richtung des oberen Behalters Das Vermischen erfolgt in sicherer Weise dadurch, daß zunächst der untere und dann der obere Stopfen herausgestoßen wird Der untere Stopfen wird durch den oberen Stopfen und dieser wiederum durch das Ausstoßelement herausgestoßenThe two-component container according to the invention has the advantage that it has a double seal between the individual components, since each stopper carries out a sealing. The individual components are mixed in a simple manner by screwing in the lower container in the direction of the upper container. The mixing takes place in a safe manner that first the lower and then the upper plug is pushed out. The lower plug is pushed out by the upper plug and this in turn by the ejection element
Ein Herausstoßen des unteren Stopfens geschieht auch bei relativ weit voneinander entfernten Halteelementen bereits nach einem geringfügigen Umdrehen des unteren Behalters, wenn der obere Stopfen einen parallel oder annähernd parallel zu einer äußeren Behalterwand verlaufenden Wandbereich und einen am unteren Stopfen anliegenden Mitteibereich aufweist (Anspruch 2) Weit voneinander entfernte Halteelemente verhindern noch besser, daß die einzelnen Komponenten zwischen den Stopfen miteinander in Kontakt kommen könnenA pushing out of the lower stopper takes place even after the lower container has been turned slightly, even if the holding elements are relatively far apart, if the upper stopper has a wall region running parallel or approximately parallel to an outer container wall and a middle region adjoining the lower stopper (claim 2) Holding elements which are spaced apart from one another even better prevent the individual components from coming into contact with one another between the plugs
Ist das Ausstoßelement an eine mit dem oberen Behalter verbundene Dichtung anlegbar, bzw egt an dieser an (Anspruch 3), so ist eine gute Abdichtung des Zweikomponentenbehalters nach dem Vermischen der Komponenten erreicht Hierbei eignet sich besonders eine umlaufende, federnde Wandung als Dichtung (Anspruch 4)If the ejection element can be placed against a seal connected to the upper container or abuts against it (claim 3), then a good seal of the two-component container is achieved after the components have been mixed. A circumferential, resilient wall is particularly suitable as a seal (claim 4 )
Ein Sicherungsring, nach dessen Abtrennen ein Behalter gegen den anderen Behalter schraubbar ist (Anspruch 5), dient der Verhinderung einer ungewunschten Aktivierung des ZweikomponentenbehaltersA locking ring, after the separation of a container can be screwed against the other container (claim 5), is used to prevent unwanted activation of the two-component container
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand eines Ausfuhrungsbeispiels naher beschrieben Es zeigt Figur 1 in einem Vertikalschnitt einen Zweikomponentenbehalter mit zwei Behaltern, die mittels zweier einzelner Stopfen gegeneinander abgedichtet sind, wobei der obere Stopfen nach oben und der untere Stopfen nach unten von jeweils einem Halteelement ablösbar ist, der untere Stopfen durch den Widerstand des oberen Stopfens von einem Zwischenstuck ablösbar ist, das Zwischenstuck mit einer Auflage auf dem oberen Rand des unteren Behalters aufliegt, und das Zwischenstuck ein gegen den oberen Stopfen wirkendes, separates Ausstoßelement aufweist,The invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. It shows Figure 1 in a vertical section a two-component container with two containers, which are sealed against each other by means of two individual plugs, the upper plug upwards and the lower plug downwards being detachable from one holding element each, the lower plug by the resistance of the upper plug from one The intermediate piece is detachable, the intermediate piece rests with a support on the upper edge of the lower container, and the intermediate piece has a separate ejection element acting against the upper stopper,

Bei einem Zweikomponentenbehalter 1 sind zwei einzelne Behalter 2, 3 über Gewinde 4, 11 miteinander verbunden Nach einem Herausstoßen eines kombinierten Dichtpfropfens 5 können die Inhalte der Behalter 2, 3 miteinander vermischt werden (Figur 1 ) Jeder Behalter 2, 3 weist eine Kammer 6 7 auf Wahrend eine Kammer 6 zur Aufnahme eines Peroxids als der einen Komponente vorgesehen ist, dient die andere Kammer 7 der Aufnahme einer Haarfarbe als zweiter KomponenteIn the case of a two-component container 1, two individual containers 2, 3 are connected to one another via threads 4, 11. After a combined sealing plug 5 has been pushed out, the contents of the containers 2, 3 can be mixed with one another (FIG. 1). Each container 2, 3 has a chamber 6 7 while a chamber 6 is provided for receiving a peroxide as the one component, the other chamber 7 serves for receiving a hair color as the second component
Am Hals 8 des unteren Behalters 3 ist ein Gewinde 11 vorgesehen welches in das Gewinde 4 eines Mittelstucks 10 eingreift Das Mittelstuck 10 ist über eine Schnappverbindung 6 mit dem Behalter 2 verbunden Der untere Behalter 3 ist gegen den oberen Behalter 2 schraubbar, wobei zuerst der untere Stopfen 13 des Dichtpfropfens 5 und dann der obere Stopfen 12 des Dichtpfropfens 5 herausgestoßen wirdOn the neck 8 of the lower container 3, a thread 11 is provided which engages in the thread 4 of a central piece 10. The central piece 10 is connected to the container 2 via a snap connection 6. The lower container 3 can be screwed against the upper container 2, the lower one first Plug 13 of the sealing plug 5 and then the upper plug 12 of the sealing plug 5 is pushed out
Die einzelnen Stopfen 12, 13 bilden gemeinsam den Dichtpfropfen 5 Der obere Stopfen 12 wird nach oben aus dem mit dem oberen Behalter 2 verbundenen Halteelement 14 gestoßen Der untere Stopfen hat ein leichter losbares Halteelement 15 als der obere Stopfen 12 Somit wird der untere Stopfen 13 vom Mittelbereich 16 des oberen Stopfens 12 ausgestoßen, wobei der obere Stopfen 12 in seinem Halteelement 14 verbleibt Der untere Stopfen 13 wird durch den Widerstand des oberen Stopfens 12, nach Abreißen eines Sicherungsringes 17, welcher an der Lasche 18 ergriffen werden kann, herausgestoßen und fallt nach unten von einem Zwischenstuck 19 ab Nachdem der Sicherungsring 17 vom Zweikompontenbehalter 1 abgetrennt wurde kann der untere Behalter 3 weiter gegen den oberen Behalter 2 geschraubt werdenThe individual plugs 12, 13 together form the sealing plug 5. The upper plug 12 is pushed upward out of the holding element 14 connected to the upper container 2. The lower plug has an easier release Holding element 15 as the upper stopper 12 Thus, the lower stopper 13 is ejected from the central region 16 of the upper stopper 12, the upper stopper 12 remaining in its holding element 14. The lower stopper 13 is replaced by the resistance of the upper stopper 12 after a snap ring 17 has been torn off , which can be gripped at the tab 18, pushed out and falls down from an intermediate piece 19. After the locking ring 17 has been separated from the two-component container 1, the lower container 3 can be screwed further against the upper container 2

The intermediate piece 22 has an ejection element 22 which acts against the upper stopper 12 and releases it from its holding element 14 when an annular surface 23 is reached has a press fit 25 in combination with a snap connection 24 (FIG. 2) the holding element 14 also has a press fit 26 and a snap connection 27 (FIG. 3)
Der obere Stopfen 12 hat einen parallel zur äußeren Behalterwand 28 verlaufenden Wandbereich 29, der in einen am unteren Stopfen 13 anliegenden Mittelbereich 16 übergehtThe upper plug 12 has a wall region 29 which runs parallel to the outer container wall 28 and merges into a central region 16 which bears against the lower plug 13
Das Ausstoßelement 22 liegt bei weitergeschraubtem unteren Behalter 3 an einer mit dem oberen Behalter 2 verbundenen Dichtung 30, einer umlaufenden federnden Wandung, an und dichtet derart den Zweikomponentenbehalter 1 ab Bei dem in Figur 4 dargestellten, maximalen Einschraubzustand sind die Stopfen 12 13 von den Halteelementen 14, 15 abgelost, und die zuvor getrennten Komponenten können sich vermischenWhen the lower container 3 is screwed on, the ejection element 22 bears against a seal 30 connected to the upper container 2, a circumferential resilient wall, and thus seals off the two-component container 1. In the maximum screwing-in state shown in FIG 14, 15 detached, and the previously separated components can mix
Der Zweikomponentenbehalter 1 wird dann geschüttelt, und schließlich wird die aktive Haarfarbe nach Abschrauben einer Verschlußkappe 31 durch eine Abgabeoffnung 32 apphziert (Figur 1) The two-component container 1 is then shaken and, finally, after unscrewing a closure cap 31, the active hair color is applied through a dispensing opening 32 (FIG. 1).
