Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kartusche (1; 101; 201; 301; 401), insbesondere Zwei- oder Mehrkomponentenkartusche, mit mindestens einem Kartuschenhals (4; 104; 204) mit einer Austrittsöffnung (11, 12; 111, 112; 211, 212; 311, 312), welche durch einen Verschluß (13) verschlossen ist, der einstückig mit dem Kartuschenhals (4; 104; 204) verbunden ist, wobei diese Verbindung zumindest über einen Teilbereich als eine Sollbruchstelle ausgebildet ist und die Kartusche (1; 101; 201; 301; 401) durch Zerstören dieser Verbindung geöffnet werden kann. Um ein einfaches Öffnen des Verschlusses zu ermöglichen weist dieser mindestens einen einstückig mit dem Kartuschenhals (4; 104; 204) verbundenen Deckel (14; 114a, 114b; 214a, 214b; 314; 414a, 414b) und mindestens ein einstückig mit dem Deckel (14; 114a, 114b; 214a, 214b; 314; 414a, 414b) verbundenes Abreißelement (15; 115; 215; 315; 415; 515) auf, wobei die Verbindung zwischen dem Deckel (14; 114a, 114b; 214a, 214b; 314; 414a, 414b) und dem Kartuschenhals (4; 104; 204) durch Ausübung einer Zugkraft auf das Abreißelement (15; 115; 215; 315; 415; 515) manuell abreißbar ist.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a cartridge (1; 101; 201; 301; 401), in particular a two-component or multi-component cartridge, having at least one cartridge neck (4; 104; 204) with an outlet opening (11,12; 111,112; 211,212; 311, 312) which is closed by a closure (13) which is integrally connected to the cartridge neck (4; 104; 204), said connection being formed as a predetermined breaking point at least over a partial area and the cartridge (1; 101; 201, 301, 401) can be opened by destroying this connection. In order to enable easy opening of the closure, the latter has at least one lid (14; 114a, 114b; 214a, 214b; 314; 414a, 414b) connected in one piece with the cartridge neck (4; 104; 204) and at least one integral part with the lid (14; 14, 114a, 114b, 214a, 214b, 314, 414a, 414b); wherein the connection between the lid (14; 114a, 114b; 214a, 214b; 314; 414a, 414b) and the cartridge neck (4; 104; 204) can be manually torn off by exerting a pulling force on the tear-off element (15; 115; 215; 315; 415; 515).
