- the storage space part can have an adapter part for direct interaction with the dispenser head, a seal being provided in the interaction area.
- a cover element Before the storage space part is used for the first time, its storage space opening is closed by a cover element, which is acted upon to release the opening in the course of a first attachment of the storage space part to the dispenser head or when the dispenser head is pumped for the first time.
- a dispenser with an interchangeable storage space part is known for example from US 5 305 921 A.
- the cover element is designed like a foil, which is torn off by the user by hand before the storage space part is attached to the dispenser head.
- the cover element extends along the edge of a sealing collar which is only exposed when the film is removed.
- the storage space part is held on the dispenser via an adapter part.
- the object of the invention is to provide an adapter part and a dispenser and an exchangeable storage space of the type in question, in particular in terms of handling technology.

- the object can be achieved in that the pump device on the storage space side has an opening means for automatically acting on the cover element to form the opening when the storage space part is attached to the dispenser head.
- the sealing collar extends to the cover element in the form of a closed around running cylindrical sealing wall.
- the opening means provided by the dispenser ensures an automatic opening of the storage space already in the course of attaching the storage space part via the adapter part to the dispenser head.
- the opening means acts on the cover element of the storage space or the adapter part in such a way that the opening to the interior of the storage space covered and closed by the covering element before first use of the storage space part is preferably permanently released, so that with a dispenser actuation mass by Opening and can be issued via the pumping device. Accordingly, preferably no manual input is required. gripped by the user beyond the usual attachment of the pantry part to the dispenser head to reveal the opening described.
- the action on the cover element via the opening means can be given solely and exclusively in the course of attaching the storage space part to the dispenser head.
- there is preferably a permanent action of the opening means on the cover element further preferably until the storage space part is removed from the dispenser head, for example in such a way that the opening means loads the cover element in a position that releases the opening.
- the covering element can also be completely removed from the area of the opening via the opening means.
- the preferably designed as a circumferential cylindrical sealing wall te sealing collar of the adapter part is surrounding the cover element, preferably before an opening-opening action on the cover element for preferred interaction with a counter sealing surface in the area of the dispenser head.
- the known prior art has the disadvantage that, in particular in the course of attaching the storage space part to the dispenser head after previously exposing the opening of the storage space before producing a sealed transition from the storage space to the pump device due to the pressure exerted by the user on the bag-like storage space during such handling. can emerge trolled from the pantry.
- This disadvantage has been effectively countered by the configuration according to the invention.
- opening means there may only be one (numeric) opening means on the dispenser head side or on the part of the pump device, but optionally also a plurality of opening means, for example two, three, four, five or more, for example up to seven or eight or more opening means .
- the storage space part or the adapter part can have a sealing collar, for sealing connection to the pump device.
- the sealing collar can furthermore have a sealing surface which extends essentially in a direction of attachment of the storage space part to the pump device.
- the application direction can, as is also preferred, be in the direction of extension of a central body axis of the donor.

- the open holding part can protrude like a rod from an underside of the adapter part opposite the cylinder section and protrude into the stored mass, to prevent closure-like application of the film bag wall to one another in the course of the successive mass transfer.
- the cover element can be designed as a film, for example as a plastic film.
- This film can be attached to close the opening of the storage space, for example at the edge of the opening, for example to follow a weld or adhesive attachment.
- a one-piece and material-uniform training with the adapter part, in particular with its cylinder bottom is possible in this regard.
- the cover element can be formed by a plate part having a circumferential weakening area.
- a plate part can, as is also preferred, be in one piece and of the same material be made with the adapter part, for example in the course of a plastic Spritzver.
- the weakening region which may be completely circumferential, or alternatively only over a partial circumference, for example over 180 to 270 degrees or more up to 360 degrees, may be formed by thinning the bottom region of the adapter surrounding the cover element. This thinning can also result in a film hinge-like connection of the cover element to the surrounding area, for example Zy linder bo den, of the adapter part.
- a predetermined tear line is hereby specified, along which, when the cover element and / or the weakening area are subjected to a corresponding load, the cover element is torn off from the surrounding area.
- the corresponding load can be achieved via the opening means described at the beginning.
- the torn weakened area forms at least a partial section of the peripheral edge surrounding the opening.
- the opening means of the dispenser head or the pumping device accordingly preferably has a destructive effect with the weakening area of the plate part or with the film.
- the film or the plate part that is to say the cover element as such, forms a seal of the storage space in the non-destroyed position. This sealing position cannot be reached again after loading via the opening means and the associated destruction of the weakened area or the film.
- All parts of the dispenser can be made of a thermoplastic material (polyolefins), such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).

- This can, as is also preferred, be formed as a tube-shaped part which is essentially concentric with the central axis x, further before in the form of a half-tube with a radial dimension a, which is about a tenth to a third, further for example about a fifth radial He stretch dimension b of the film bag 28 in the fully filled position according to Figure 5 can correspond.
- the radial dimension a of the open-keeping part 37 can correspond approximately to 0.25 to 0.5 times, further approximately 0.3 times the diameter dimension e resulting from the weakening region 35 of the opening 36 which is established (cf. also FIG ren 8 and 15 to 17).
- the axial extent of the open-keeping part 37, starting from the underside of the cylinder base 23, can be chosen so that the free and open end 38 of the open-hold part 37 ends at a distance c from the weld seam 29.
- the distance c can be about a tenth to about a fourth, further about a sixth of the depth d of the film bag 28 viewed in the direction of extension of the central axis x, starting from the underside of the cylinder bottom 23 to the beginning of the weld seam 29 (compare Figure 5).
- the open holding part 37 is expanded in a funnel-like manner, preferably to a radius, while maintaining the half-shell-like configuration , which can essentially correspond to half the diameter dimension e in the region of the opening 36. This results in a possible swivel-in space for the cover element 33 in the use position of the dispenser 1 (see FIG. 12).
- the wall of the open-keeping part 37 is penetrated by a window-like opening 40, otherwise also over the length of the closed design of this wall, for the favorable flushing of the opening 36 with mass 2 from the storage space 11.

- these tips 47 are arranged on a circumferential line, which is preferably adapted to the circumferential line of the weakening area 35 surrounding the cover element 33. Accordingly, in the course of attaching the lower part 4 of the dispenser to the dispenser head 3, the weakening area 35 through the Opening means 45, in particular their tips 47, loaded in the axial direction and superimposed for this purpose in the direction of rotation in such a way that tearing along the weakened area 35 which represents a predetermined breaking line is achieved.
- a complete tear-off of the cover element 33 or plate part 34 can occur. Preferred and also shown is against an embodiment in which the weakening region 35 is not completely destroyed by the opening means 45, but rather only, for example, over a circumferential partial region of preferably more than 300 degrees up to 330 or 340 degrees, for example, and thus that Cover element 33 then hangs like a film hinge on the cylinder bottom 33.
- One or more opening means 45 can cover element 43 under load the speaking surface of the cover element surface by an edge edge 48 of the opening means in such a way that the cover element 43 is held in the position exposing the opening 36 as shown in FIG. 6, for example. Even the mass flowing through the opening 40 during a pump actuation 2 can thus cause no relocation of the cover element 33 into an opening 36 closing position.
- the sealing surface 43 of the sealing section 41 and the counter-sealing surface 44 of the chamber wall 13 act over a height u considered in the axial direction, which is for example approximately 0.5 to 0.75 times , can further correspond to about 0.6 times the sealing surface height f.

- a stop 50 which in the exemplary embodiment shown can essentially be formed by a slide track 51 which can be rotated about the central axis x and against which a to the pump head 6 to the radially outwardly projecting projection 52 can come to impact.
- a pot wall 53 concentrically concentric to the central axis x can be formed, which can offer a fastening collar for a rotating part 54.
- the rotating part 54 can be rotated about the central axis x relative to the pot wall 53, moreover also relative to the pump chamber 7 or the pump device P, but cannot be displaced in the axial direction on the pot wall 53.

- Each helical surface 55 preferably extends in the circumferential direction by 180 degrees, wherein a vertical step 56 can be formed in the circumferential direction between the helical surfaces 55.
- the pitch angle of each helical surface 55 can be approximately 10 degrees to 20 degrees, further approximately 15 degrees, for example.
- the rotary part 54 can also be used to manually push the pump head 6 back into the starting position via the interaction of a helical surface 55 with the projection 52 after a mass discharge has been carried out.
