Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for filling a double-wall receptacle, more particularly a double-wall tube. For this purpose the tube features an inner and outer chamber which are filled at an open axial end of the tube with a solid, fluid or pasty bulk mass. During filling the inner wall and/or the outer wall is deformed at least in the portion of the open axial end of the tube at at least one point transversely to the axial direction so that the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall at at least one location of the circumferential portion of the outer chamber is larger than in the original non-deformed circumferential portion. Accordingly a filler nozzle is inserted into the outer chamber at the location of the enlarged distance between inner wall and outer wall, the outer diameter of the filler nozzle being larger than the distance between said inner wall and outer wall in the original non-deformed circumferential portion.

Abstract: Empty tubes are received in a pallet with the tubes oriented with their central axes substantially perpendicular to a conveyor plane and at a predetermined spacing along first and second axes that are perpendicular to each other and parallel to the conveyor plane. All the empty tubes are simultaneously removed from the pallet, and the tubes are moved mutually apart along the first axis and are subsequently moved mutually apart along the second axis, and the tubes are then filled and sealed. The tubes are moved mutually together to a spacing that is substantially the same as the predetermined spacing and the filled tubes are placed in a pallet.

Abstract: A pencil (1), more especially a cosmetic pencil comprises a handle part (2), a plunger (3) which is received therein and a sleeve-shaped screw part (4), into which is filled a spreadable body (5). The screw part (4) is arranged so as to be rotatable with respect to the handle part (2) and has been screwed on the plunger (3) which is provided with an external thread (12). The screw part (4) is held on the handle part (2) so as to be undisplaceable in the axial direction. The plunger (3) is held in the handle part (2) so as to be secured against rotation and so as to be axially movable. By this means, the plunger (3) is moved into the screw part (4) when the screw part (4) is rotated.
