Abstract:
A two-component container comprisingrespective individual containers (2,3) provided with corresponding chambers (6,7) for containing respective components, said respective individual containers (2,3) having corresponding threaded necks provided with mutually meshing threads (4,11) so that one (3) of said individual containers (2,3) is connected with another (2) of said individual containers via said threaded necks;a retaining member (14) connected to said another (2) of said individual containers and arranged between said another (2) of said individual containers and said one (3) of said containers;an intermediate member (19) bearing with a supporting portion (20) thereof on a facing edge (21) of one (8) of said threaded necks of said one (3) of said individual containers, wherein said intermediate member (19) is arranged between said retaining member (14) and said one (8) of said threaded necks, said intermediate member (19) is provided with retaining means (15) on a side of said intermediate member (19) opposite from said retaining member (14) and said intermediate member (19) includes a protruding ejection member (22) on another side of said intermediate member (19) facing said retaining member (14);a sealing plug (5) arranged in a sealing position in said threaded necks to temporarily seal said chambers (6,7) from each other, but which is ejected from said sealing position when said one (3) of said individual containers is screwed sufficiently far into said another of said individual containers, wherein said sealing plug (5) comprises a first stopper (12) and a second stopper (13), said first stopper (12) is releasably connected with said retaining member (14) so as to be releasable in a direction away from said retaining member (14) and said second stopper (13) is releasably connected with said intermediate member by means of said retaining means (15) on said side of said intermediate member opposite from said retaining member (14);whereby, when said one (8) of said individual containers is screwed sufficiently far into said another (2) of said individual containers to eject said sealing plug (5) from said sealing position, said intermediate member (19) is moved toward said another (2) of said individual containers by said one (8) of said threaded necks, so that said second stopper (13) is disengaged from said retaining means (15) and thus said intermediate member (19) by contact with said first stopper (12) and then said first stopper (12) is disengaged from said retaining member (14) by said protruding ejection member (22) of said intermediate member (19).
