Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-expressible multi-component container for separate storage flowable components that can be expressed by squeezing the multi-component container by hand together from the multi-component container, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the expressions for example, by rolling the multi-component container from one end as possible with toothpaste or other tubes.
  • “Expressions by hand” expresses that the common expression of the flowable components contained separately in the multi-component container is possible without tools. Other ways of squeezing or general spreading, even with tools or devices, are not excluded.
  • Flowable means that the components are, for example, liquid or pasty. It may be, for example, a binder and a hardener of a two-component adhesive or resin. Such components must be kept separate from each other until use and usually kept airtight. For use, the components are mixed and then bind, which can also be understood as curing. After mixing and before setting, the components must be shipped to an application site, such as a splice.
