Abstract:
A container for storing and apportioned dispensing of pasty and fluidic compositions, comprising:a container body having parallel inner walls; a plunger element moveably arranged in the container body so as to divide the container body into a compressed-air portion and a storage portion which is separated from said compressed-air portion in an essentially air tight manner and is intended for receiving the pasty or fluidic composition, the plunger element being displaceable into the storage portion by introducing compressed air into the compressed-air portion; means for supplying compressed air to the compressed-air portion, the supply means being integrated into the container body at a lower end of the container body; a compressed-air feed opening which opens into the compressed-air portion and via which compressed air can be blown in from the supply means; a container cover mounted on the body; and a dispensing opening in the storage portion from which the composition emerges, controlled by an amount of compressed air fed into the compressed-air portion, the supply means including a pressure cylinder integrated in the container body so that an axis of the cylinder extends transversely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the container, the compressed-air feed opening being arranged to open onto an end of the cylinder, a displacable pumping plunger being arranged in the pressure cylinder so that air contained in the pressure cylinder can be pressed through the compressed-air feed opening.
