## Abstract

A container, particularly a hermetically sealed ampoule, having a hollow receiving body (1) for receiving a discharge medium, comprising it discharge opening (3), which is scaled by a sealing part (9) formed by a head part of the container, the scaling part being separable from the edge of the discharge opening (3) via a separation point (11), and comprising a handling aid connected to the end (15) removed from the discharge opening (3) in the form of a connecting tab (19), is characterized in that a second handling aid (25) connected to the sealing part (9) is provided, which, like the first handling aid, is formed by a second connecting tab (25).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A container, particularly a hermetically sealed ampule, with a hollow receiving body (1) for receiving a discharge medium, which has a discharge opening (3) that is closed by a sealing part (9) which forms the head part of the container and which can be separated from the edge of the discharge opening (3) by way of the separation point (11), and with a handling aid which is connected to the end (15) away from the discharge opening (3) in the form of a connecting tab (19), characterized in that there is a second handling aid (25) which adjoins the sealing part (9) and which is formed by a second connecting tab (25), like the first handling aid.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the two connecting tabs (19, 25) are formed by plate-shaped bodies.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the two connecting tabs (19, 25) are more or less rectangular in outline, the longitudinal sides of the rectangular shape running parallel to the longitudinal axis (7).

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The container according to claim 2, characterized in that at least one (19) of the connecting tabs (19, 25) is provided on at least one wide side as a vehicle for visually detectable markings (29).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the sealing part (9) has a body (13) that forms a hollow chamber which keeps the discharge opening (3) clear.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The container according to claim 5, characterized in that the sealing part (9) has a sealing ball (13) which contains a hollow chamber and which is detachably connected to the edge of the discharge opening (3) by way of the separation point (11).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the discharge opening (3) is connected from the receiving body (1) by way of a connecting body (5) which contains a connecting channel that forms the neck part of the container.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The container according to claim 7, characterized in that the connecting body (5) and preferably also the connecting channel taper conically from the receiving body (1) to the discharge opening (3).

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The container according to claim 7, characterized in that the second connecting tab (25) assigned to the sealing part (9) has a shoulder that forms two diametrically opposite flanks (31) which extend on both sides beyond the sealing ball (13) into the initial region of the connecting body (5) and, being used as reinforcing elements in the region of the separation point, the separating point (11, 33) continues into the initial region of the connecting body (5).

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The container according to claims 1, characterized in that several containers are combined into a block of ampules and along the side edges (23, 27) of their connecting tabs (19, 25) are separably joined to one another.
