  • the Nozzle body can be snapped onto the storage container, so that a manufacturing technology simple assembly is feasible.
  • the snap-on process is irreversible, then then for separating the nozzle body from the reservoir
  • Predetermined breaking points e.g. B. in the form of a plurality of thin plastic webs, are provided.
  • a particularly simple solution is characterized in that the filling and Outlet opening is closed in such a way that when the nozzle body is placed on it is opened automatically with the applicator. So far be provided that the filling and outlet opening with a membrane or the like is closed and the nozzle body has a mandrel, the membrane when placing the nozzle body on the second End of the reservoir pierces, so that in the Medium located on the applicator can get.
