Abstract
A container (2) for bulk matter comprises a rigid mouthpiece (5), a pouch (4) in sealing connection with the mouthpiece, and a septum (6), which seals off the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece defines a lumen (7) matched to the pouch in order that the septum may be pierced to free an opening, by which any matter held by the container will be permitted to leave said pouch by flowing through the opening, substantially without meeting any restrictions. The invention also provides a cartridge with a powdered filling, and a method of manufacturing a cartridge.

A container for bulk matter, comprising
- a pouch of flexible material, provided by a section of a hose with substantially uniform circumference,
- a substantially rigid mouthpiece in sealing connection with said pouch by one end of said section of hose, said mouthpiece defining a lumen matched to said pouch and communicated with said pouch, said mouthpiece defining a base for standing said container and a substantially circular spout with an exterior guiding surface,
- a seal means adapted for sealing off said mouthpiece, and
- retention means associated with said mouthpiece and adapted for cooperation with engagement means of a socket so as to retain said mouthpiece in said socket in a non-rotatable fashion.
A cartridge comprising a container and a powdered filling, said container comprising
- a pouch of flexible material, provided by a section of a hose with substantially uniform circumference,
- a substantially rigid mouthpiece in sealing connection with said pouch by one end of said section of hose, and
- a seal means to seal off said mouthpiece, said mouthpiece defining a lumen matched to said pouch and communicated with said pouch, said mouthpiece defining a base for standing said container and a substantially circular spout with an exterior guiding surface, and
- said filling comprising at least three layers of solid particulate materials arranged inside of said container, a first one and a second one of said layers comprising respective mutually reactive materials and a third one of said layers, arranged intervening of said first and said second layer, comprising a material, which is inert relative to the materials of said first and said second layer, said container being evacuated of air so as to immobilize said particulate materials and sealed.
