  • Fig. 7 shows the second embodiment of the package 200 according to the invention in a three-dimensional view.
  • the third section 233 of the cover film 230 is located on the label 233a .
  • This pressure mark 233c is also in the Fig. 8 . 9 and 11 to recognize. It is located above a storage chamber 290, which in the FIGS. 9 and 10 can be seen.
  • the in the Fig. 7 to 11 illustrated second embodiment of the package 200 is the substance in contrast to those in the Fig. 1 to 6 shown first embodiment of the package 100 is not stored in the sampling chamber but in the storage chamber 290.
  • the substance itself is in the Fig. 7 to 11 not shown.
  • the second embodiment of the packaging 200 also has stabilizing beads 250 which, however, are shorter than the stabilizing beads 150 of the first embodiment of the packaging 100.
  • the removal chamber 240 has markings 280 which serve for metering the substance to be transferred from the storage chamber 290 into the removal chamber 240.
  • the markers 280 have dashes provided with numerals indicating what amount of substance is contained in a filling of the extraction chamber 240 up to the respective stroke of the mark 280. Additionally or alternatively, the markers 280 may also contain colored markings and / or text. Furthermore, the markings may be printed or embossed. In the in the Fig. 8 and 11 In the embodiment shown, the marking is applied over the entire width B 200 of the packaging. However, it is also possible to apply the marking only in the region of the removal chamber 240 or only part of the removal chamber 240. In principle, the marking 280 can be configured as desired, as long as it makes it possible to dose the substance to be transferred from the storage chamber 290 into the removal chamber 240 in its quantity.
  • the handling of the second embodiment of the packaging 200 according to the invention takes place as described below.
  • the edge region 231b of the first portion 231 of the cover sheet 230 which is not located on the bottom sheet 220, engages a user the cover sheet 230 and pulls the first portion of the cover sheet 231 from the bottom sheet 220 from.
  • a plastic deformation occurs in the region 232 of the cover foil 230.
  • the user creates a tear 232b through the second portion 232 of the cover sheet. Thereby, the first portion 231 of the cover sheet is separated and can be disposed of.
  • the removal chamber 240 is arranged such that only a first portion 240a of the removal chamber 240 is exposed by the removal of the first portion 231 of the cover sheet. A second portion 240b of the extraction chamber 240 remains below the second portion 232 of the cover sheet.
  • the extended area 260a of the applicator chamber 260 is also exposed, so that the user can easily remove the applicator 270.
  • the user exerts external pressure on the removal chamber 290.
  • the user preferably uses thumb and forefinger to exert pressure on the cover film from above on the printing chamber 233c arranged above the bearing chamber 290 and from the bottom onto the bearing chamber 290 with thumb and forefinger.
  • the seal dissolves in the connecting region 290a, so that a passageway between the bearing chamber 290 and the removal chamber 240 is formed and the substance can be transferred from the storage chamber 290 into the removal chamber 240.
  • the label 233a of the third section 233 of the cover film advantageously reduces the risk of damage to the cover film 230, for example due to sharp fingernails when the bearing chamber is pressed in.
  • the amount of the transferred substance depends on the pressure exerted on the storage chamber 290 pressure.
  • the user can therefore control the amount and speed of the substance to be transferred to the extraction chamber 240 by varying its pressure on the storage chamber 290.
  • the second section 240b which adjoins the connecting region 290a and the passage channel formed between the extraction chamber and the bearing chamber, continues to be covered by the second section 232b of the cover film, since in this way a splashing occurs the substance can be prevented.
  • the markers 280 the user can see how much substance he is from the Storage chamber 290 has transferred into the removal chamber 240.
  • the transfer of substance from the storage chamber 290 into the withdrawal chamber 240 may be stopped by the user ceasing to apply pressure to the storage chamber 290.
  • the desired amount of the substance to be administered which is now located in the removal chamber 240, can be used below.
  • the applicator 270 here a brush, likewise mounted in the packaging 200, is preferably used for this purpose. After applying the desired and required amount of substance, the package 200 may be discarded.
