Accordingly, the outer side walls in a two-chamber collection box, the side walls outside, so the side walls, next to which no collection chamber is arranged. If a collection box has three collection chambers, both side walls of the collection chambers are in the middle so-called “middle” side walls, since each adjacent to a further collection chamber is arranged.
  • conventional, ie parallel, side walls the distance between the parallel walls must be kept very close, as the distance affects the capillary action.
  • the manufacturing tolerances to be complied with are smaller, since the distance of the gap changes continuously over the height and thus even at inaccurate manufacturing tolerances at a suitable distance results in a gap size having a positive capillary action.
