  • Patent number: 6874659
    Abstract: A pressure container with an outer container (20) and a constantly deformable or compressible inner container is arranged within the outer container (20), whose container wall is constructed of a metallic foil. A fill material chamber (11) for fill material (12) is arranged in the inner container (10) and in the outer container (20), a propellant chamber (21) is formed for propellant (22, 23), which are separated from one another in a fluid- and/or gas-tight manner.

  • Publication number: 20040211793
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressurized package and a method for manufacturing and filling a pressurized package. The pressurized package has an outer container (10) and an inner container (20) situated within the outer container (10). In the outer container (10) a chamber (11) for material (12) to be dispensed is arranged and in the inner container (20) a propellant chamber (21) for propellant (20) is arranged, which are separated from each other in a manner that is impermeable to liquid and gas. The outer container (10) is closed by a cover part (15) on which a valve part (16) is arranged for dispensing the material (12) from the chamber (11) outwards. To improve pressurized packages of this type, a pressurized cartridge (30) containing a propellant (22) is arranged in the inner container (20), and the pressurized cartridge is associated with an opening mechanism (31) for at least one-time opening of the pressurized cartridge (30) to the propellant chamber (21) of the inner container (20).
