  • Patent number: 10773433
    Abstract: A cartridge for a medium to be dispensed includes a head part having a dispensing outlet and a film forming a cartridge wall, with the film surrounding a cartridge chamber for the medium to be dispensed, extending at least partially (along an axial extension) in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge and having a front end being connected to the head part. The film is preferably a multilayer film having at least two layers formed from different materials, and the front end of the film is sealingly and non-releasably embedded in the head part of the cartridge, so that an end face of the front end of the film is covered, in particular completely covered, by the head part.

  • Patent number: 9982697
    Abstract: A fastening element for attaching to a wall. The fastening element having a contact element having an adhesive surface and a filling opening via which a flowable adhesive agent is capable of being brought between the adhesive surface and the wall. Positioning elements by which the contact element is capable of being positioned at the wall are arranged at the adhesive surface. The positioning element has a width which is variable in dependence on a spacing from the outlet opening. The width reduces at least sectionally as the spacing from the outlet opening increases and is minimal at a maximum spacing from the outlet opening. Accordingly, the adhesive surface is capable of flowing around the positioning element on the introduction between the wall and the adhesive surface.

  • Patent number: 9975139
    Abstract: A cartridge has a reception chamber extending in a longitudinal direction for a medium to be dispensed. The cartridge has a head part and a cartridge wall which bound the reception chamber, the head part having an outlet for the medium. The cartridge wall is at least regionally a film and the head part is a stable-shape part. The head part is sealingly and in particular unreleasably connected to the cartridge wall and the cartridge is a collapsible cartridge. The cartridge can be converted from an expanded state in which the reception chamber has a maximum volume into a collapsed state in which the reception chamber has a minimal volume. The cartridge not yet filled with medium is in a collapsed state. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing such a cartridge is described.
