• the sealing lip ring 109 of the repair nozzle 100 adjoins an end region 316 of the container 313.
• the sealing lip ring 109 may be flexible, for example be designed and adapt by screwing onto the external thread 314 the end portion 316 of the container, so that, for example, by means of a deformation of the sealing lip ring 109, a sealing function without cutting into the end portion 316 is formed.
• the repair nozzle 100 is sealed to the container 313 via two sealing elements.
• FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of a repair nozzle 200 with a proximal product feed side 201 and a product output distal side 202 and with a product passage 205.
• the product passage 205 connects a product feed port 216 on the proximal product feed side 201 to a slot-shaped mouth 203 on the product output distal side 202
• Product channel 205 is designed in the proximal region of the repair nozzle 200 substantially rotationally symmetrical about an axis of rotation 206 and is enclosed in the direction of the distal product output side 202 by a trapezoidal jacket 204 having the slot-shaped mouth opening 203.
• the trapezoidal cladding region 204 is configured such that a base 208 is disposed on the product output distal side 202.
• the slot-shaped mouth opening 203 extends over the base 208 of the trapezoidal shell portion 204.
• a radially outwardly with respect to the axis of rotation 206 projecting collar 207 is provided which serves to support the repair nozzle 200 to a container.
• the trapezoidal jacket region 204 has on the surface a plurality of separation aids 214 arranged parallel to the base 208. These separation aids 214 represent markings at which the user can sever parts of the trapezoidal jacket region 204. Due to the trapezoidal shape of the shell portion 204, severing a part at the distal product discharge side 202 is accompanied by a reduction in the base 208.
• the slit-shaped orifice 203 which extends across the base 208, is also reduced in size.
• the user can in this way by separating parts of the trapezoidal shell portion 204 vary the size of the slit-shaped orifice opening 203 to adjust this to the dispensed material or the size of the desired bead of material.
• the cladding region 204 has reinforcing ribs, not shown, and is provided on the side of the proximal Artszu fertilseite 201 with an internal thread 211, with which the repair nozzle 200 can be mounted on a container with a corresponding external thread.
• the internal thread 211 is a precision thread described above which provides a first sealing element via a sealing region 212.
• WEI ter is in the region of the proximal Rescuezu seafoodseite 201 a sealing lip ring 209 provided as a further sealing element. This encloses annularly the product feed opening 216 and extends in the proximal direction.
• the sealing lip ring 209 protrudes in the direction of the container when the repair nozzle 200 is fastened on a container.
• the extent of the sealing lip ring 209 is designed such that it comes into contact with the attachment of the repair nozzle 200 with the container and thus causes a seal between the repair nozzle 200 and container.
• the repair nozzle 200 has only one of the sealing elements described.
