From the DE 20 2007 004 662 U1 for example, a container with two pistons is known, which are arranged one above the other and slide along the wall of the container. On the container a two-way pump is arranged. A first way of the pump opens at the upper end of the container. The second path terminates in a conduit which traverses the first piston and slides along the same latter can. The first product is in the space above the first piston while the second product is in the space between the first and second pistons. Also in this device, the risk of not promoting the two products in a sufficiently precise ratio, relatively large.

  • the chambers (20, 30) form only when filling the product. If a separate piston head (7) is provided for the second chamber (30), this (30) is not formed simultaneously with the first chamber (20). On the contrary This forms only when filling the second product. It is therefore not necessary to provide a suction device for removing the air from the second chamber before the second product is filled.
