Patent ID: 8100597

Claim:
A device for applying a fluid, said device comprising: a tube-like application container having a receiving space for mixing fluid components, said container extending between a first end and a second end; an application unit disposed at said first end downstream of said receiving space; a valve unit upstream of said receiving space and having a valve body disposed at said second end and in fluid communication with said receiving space, said valve body including a plunger-like cylindrical body extending away from said application unit; and a reservoir container having at least one reservoir space connected to said valve unit, the reservoir container including a sleeve closed at a side facing away from the application unit, and which is guided at the plunger-like cylindrical body of the valve unit via an annular collar that protrudes at least radially from an inner wall of the sleeve, the cylindrical body having a lateral channel that is arranged in the area of the sleeve, and that is connected to an axial channel, which leads to the receiving space of the application container through said valve body, wherein the reservoir container is movable between a closed position and an activating position, such that in the closed position of the reservoir container a fluid flow between the reservoir space of the reservoir container and the receiving space of the application container is blocked by said annular collar, and that in the activating position of the reservoir container the reservoir space and the receiving space are connected via the lateral channel and the axial channel of the valve unit, wherein the application container is made of an elastic, deformable soft plastic material, and the plunger-like cylindrical body of the valve unit is limited by an annular recess of the valve unit, into which the reservoir container dips upon the displacement in the activating position.
