Abstract

A system for packaging two liquid components, including a first container for receiving a first component and a lid, by means of which the first container can be closed. The system further includes a second container for receiving a second component, wherein the second container is arranged on the lid such that the second container lies in a volume of the first container when the first container is closed by the lid. The second container additionally has a specified opening which allows the second component to be transferred to the first container in an open state.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system for packaging two components, the system comprising:
a first container containing a first component of two components;
a lid, by way of which the first container can be closed; and
a second container containing a second component of the two components,
wherein the second container is arranged on the lid in such a way that the second container lies in a volume of the first container when the first container is closed by way of the lid,
the second container has a predefined opening apparatus which, in the open state, allows transferring of the second component into the first container, and
the two components are selected from the group consisting of a two-component adhesive, a two-component sealant, and a two-component primer coat.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second container is of flexible configuration.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the second container comprises a film for receiving the second component.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second container is of rigid configuration.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predefined opening apparatus comprises a predefined point, along which the predefined opening apparatus can be cut open or can be ripped open or can be broken open.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predefined opening apparatus comprises a preformed spout.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the preformed spout is formed in a beak-shaped or point-shaped or conical manner.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the predefined opening apparatus is arranged on a base of the preformed spout.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second container and the lid are connected to one another by way of a fluid-tight seam, the lid closing off the second container toward one side, and the lid having a filling apparatus for filling the second container with the second component.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of (i) the second container forms a volume which is closed in a fluid-tight manner, and (ii) the second container is of pre-fillable configuration, filling of the second container with the second component being provided before arranging of the second container on the lid.

11. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a hook-in apparatus, by way of which the lid can be hooked with the second container on the first container, in order to allow the second component to run out into the first container.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein at least one of (i) the hook-in apparatus is configured as a hook, and (ii) the hook-in apparatus is arranged on the lid or on the second container or on the first container.

13. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first container and the lid is formed at least partially from plastic or from tin sheet or from steel.

14. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a handle is arranged on the lid, at least one of (i) the handle being formed such that it can be folded out, and (ii) the handle does not lie in the volume of the first container when the first container is closed by way of the lid.

15. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a volume of the first container is in the range of 0.5 dm 3 to 50 dm 3 .

16. A product comprising:
a system as claimed in claim 1 ;
a first component which is arranged in the first container; and
a second component which is arranged in the second container.
