Abstract
A plug for releasably sealing a connection channel connecting an upper chamber comprising a first component with a lower chamber comprising a second component of a two-chamber container, comprising a plug body for being inserted into the connection channel with a sealing force, a guiding member for guiding the plug in axial direction inside the upper chamber, wherein the guiding member comprises a larger extension in radial direction than the plug body and the guiding member is axially spaced to the plug body by an unsealing distance, and a head part for pushing out a folded nozzle sealing the upper chamber, wherein the head part protrudes from the guiding member away from the plug body.
Claims17
A plug for releasably sealing a connection channel connecting an upper chamber comprising a first component with a lower chamber comprising a second component of a two-chamber container, the plug comprising
- a plug body, insertable into the connection channel with a sealing force, having a first diameter
- a guiding member having a disk shape, configured for guiding the plug in an axial direction inside the upper chamber, and connected to the plug body, wherein the guiding member comprises a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter of the plug body, the guiding member is spaced from the plug body, in the axial direction, by an unsealing distance, and the guiding member has a discharge opening formed therein and having a first cross-sectional area such that the discharge opening is in communication with a volume arranged in the unsealing distance, and
- a head part, configured for pushing out a folded nozzle sealing the upper chamber, connected to the guiding member such that the head part protrudes away from the guiding member in the axial direction, wherein the head part has a third diameter that is less than the second diameter of the guiding member, the head part has a discharge channel formed therein, having a second cross-sectional area, and extending an entire length of the head part from a first end of the head part to an opposing second end of the head part, and the discharge channel has a diameter that is constant or the same along the entire length of the head part from the first end of the head part to the opposing second end of the head part.
A plug for releasably sealing a connection channel connecting an upper chamber comprising a first component with a lower chamber comprising a second component of a two-chamber container, the plug comprising
- a plug body insertable into the connection channel with a sealing force,
- a guiding member having a disk shape and configured for guiding the plug in an axial direction inside the connection channel, wherein the guiding member comprises a larger extension in radial direction than the plug body, is axially spaced with respect to the plug body by an unsealing distance, and has a discharge opening therethrough that is in communication with the unsealing distance, and
- a head part configured for pushing out a folded nozzle sealing the upper chamber, wherein the head part protrudes from the guiding member away from the plug body in the axial direction, has an outer diameter that is less than an outer diameter of the guiding member, and has a discharge channel therethrough that is in communication with the discharge opening of the guiding member,
- wherein the plug body and the head part are connected to the guiding member and the plug body, the guiding member, and the head part are one-piece made by injection molding.
