Abstract: A dispensing container having an annular side wall and a lower end wall closing a lower end of the side wall. The lower end wall is provided with a discharge opening which is spaced a selected distance from a center of the lower end wall. The lower end wall is spaced upwardly from a lower edge of the side wall to form a circular space inside a lower end portion of the side wall. A circular support plate of a dispensing machine is received in the space, and the opening in the lower end wall is keyed to an opening in the support plate by complementary frusto-conic wall sections at the openings so that only a container which keys to the support plate can be used with the dispensing machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the simultaneous, metered dispensing of fillers and hardener pastes, making it possible to draw off clean substances without encrusted filler particles or other contaminants and which reliably prevents any overdosing of the paste. The two containers for the filler and the paste are held in centered manner in the apparatus in the vicinity of a drawing-off and metering device by means of which the two substances are deposited in closely juxtaposed manner on a putty knife or the like. In addition, it is possible to match the hardener paste quantity required for the filler to the outside temperature conditions.
