  • Publication number: 20260157601
    Abstract: A container for a dosing system, to be positioned in the interior of a dishwasher, comprises a dosing device by which a preparation can be dosed into the interior. The container has at least one chamber for receiving the preparation, and a connection piece on the chamber for connecting to a connection receptacle in the dosing device. The connection piece comprises a main part which has an air chamber for ventilation, and an air chamber wall, wherein a projection is integrally formed on the air chamber wall and has a contact point spaced apart from the air chamber wall for an abutment on the connection receptacle, so that a force acting on the contact point of the projection, when connecting the connection piece and the connection receptacle, generates a bending moment that causes the projection to rotate and an opening to be torn in the air chamber wall.
