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.

Abstract: A container for a metering system which can be positioned in the interior of a dishwasher is disclosed. The container has at least one chamber for receiving a preparation, and a connection piece which is paired with the chamber and connectable to a connection receiving area of a metering device of the metering system. Thus, a liquid-tight connection is formed between the chamber and the metering device. The connection piece has a main part, and a finger ring secured to the main part which can be moved from a starting position into an active position, wherein in the active position, the finger ring is designed such that a human finger can engage behind the finger ring in order to introduce a force into the main part, thus allowing the connection piece to be separated from the connection receiving area.

Abstract: A dispensing system for a dishwasher has a flat housing with a front wall and a rear wall, and is designed in such a way that it can be placed, like a plate, in a plate holder in the interior of the dishwasher. The front wall or rear wall of the housing has at least one first channel-like recess which begins at a base of the housing. A depth (T) of the first recess decreases from the base of the housing in the direction of an upper end of the first recess.

Abstract: A container for a dispensing system that can be positioned in the interior of a dishwasher comprises a dispensing device by which at least one preparation can be dispensed into the interior, wherein the container has at least one chamber for receiving the preparation and a connection piece which is paired with the chamber and connected to the chamber, and connectable to a connection receptacle of the dispensing device to produce a connection between the chamber and the dispensing device, and wherein the connection piece has a membrane which is closed in a state as manufactured, and which is designed to be opened when the connection piece is connected to the connection receptacle. The connection piece has a main part onto which the membrane is integrally molded, and the main part and the membrane are made of the same material.

Abstract: A dosing system for dosing a preparation into a washing machine, wherein the dosing system can be freely positioned in a rotatable washing drum of a washing machine, comprising a container for receiving the preparation, a dosing device that doses the preparation from the container into the washing drum, and a substantially spherical housing in which the dosing device and the container are accommodated. The surface of the spherical housing is covered with a ribbed structure, which has a plurality of spaced-apart ribs.

Abstract: A metering system for dispensing at least one flowable preparation into an interior of a washing machine, the system having at least one metering device and at least one container which can be coupled to the metering device and is intended for storing the at least one flowable preparation, wherein the metering device includes: at least one electrical power source for operating the metering device; at least one metering unit for dispensing a predefined amount of the at least one flowable preparation; at least one sensor unit for monitoring the metering unit; and at least one control unit coupled to the metering unit and to the sensor unit, wherein the metering unit has a pump for dispensing the at least one flowable preparation and wherein the metering system is suitable for being freely positioned within the interior of the washing machine.

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.
