Abstract
The adapter for attachment onto an outlet of a dispensing means such as a mixing device, comprises a connecting part for attachment to the outlet and an outlet portion to which other parts can be connected or which can be a specially formed outlet itself. This connecting part comprises a cylindrical or an approximately frusto-conical internal surface part having a self-cutting thread for attachment onto an external surface of the outlet of a mixing device or other dispensing device. Such an adapter can be easily attached to the outlet of a standard static or dynamic mixer or other dispensing device having a stepped external surface, thus eliminating the necessity to keep an inventory of mixers with different outlets or outlet connections.
