Container For At Least Two Free-Flowing Preparations

Abstract

A container for at least two free-flowing preparations, having at least a first cavity for storing a first free-flowing preparation, a second cavity for storing a second free-flowing preparation, and a coupling plane for detachable interlocking connection to a metering device, wherein the second cavity is at least partially enclosed by the first cavity, the first cavity and the second cavity are substantially collapsible, and the first cavity and the second cavity are fluidically separated from one another.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container for at least two free-flowing preparations, comprising:
 at least a first cavity for storing a first free-flowing preparation;   a second cavity for storing a second free-flowing preparation;   a coupling plane for detachably interlockingly connecting to a metering device suitable for dispensing into the tub of a washing machine, wherein the second cavity is at least partially enclosed by the first cavity, wherein the first cavity and the second cavity are designed to be substantially collapsible, wherein the first cavity and the second cavity are fluidically separated from one another, and wherein the first and the second cavity can be interlockingly detachably connected to the coupling plane.   
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling plane has an opening for removing the first free-flowing preparation from the first cavity and an opening for removing the second free-flowing preparation from the second cavity. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein a fluidic connection can be established between each opening and the metering device. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling plane is deformation-resistant. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second cavities change their shape under the effect of negative pressure. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the removal of the free-flowing preparations is ensured under a gravitational effect of >1 g. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the volume ratio of the second cavity to the first cavity is in the range between 1:5 and 1:20. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is hemispherical. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the second free-flowing preparation contains less than 10% of water.
