The barrel (1) includes two raised inner walls (11) at two open ends and an adhesive surface (2) applied on the interior wall of the barrel (1) between the two raised inner walls (11) The inner diameter of each raised inner wall (1 1) is smaller than that of the adhesive surface (2) This is to prevent extra adhesive from dripping out of the barrel (1) and will be blocked by the raised inner walls ( 1 1).
As shown in FIG. 2, the barrel (1) comprises the adhesive surface (2) on the interior wall at the central portion and the two raised inner walls ( I 1) at the two open ends from adhesive The adhesive surface (2) has a length of one third (1/3) or half of the entire length of the barrel (1).
