Abstract
The invention relates to a multicomponent foil-type container comprising a first chamber () for accommodating a first component, at least one second chamber () for accommodating a second component, a discharge duct () that can be connected to said chambers ('), deflection elements () for mixing the components within the discharge duct (), and a seal () which prevents the components from being mixed before being used and can be opened for discharging the components. The deflection elements () of the inventive multicomponent foil-type container are disposed on a separate mixing element () that is located in the discharge duct () such that the multicomponent foil-type container is easy to produce while allowing different components to be mixed in a particularly effectively manner. The invention further relates to a device for squeezing a multicomponent foil-type container in a particularly effective fashion. The disclosed squeezing device is provided with a holding element () for accommodating a multicomponent foil-type container. At least one leg () that can be moved towards the chambers () of the multicomponent foil-type container in order to squeeze the multicomponent foil-type container is hingedly connected to the end of the holding element () which faces the rear end of an inserted multicomponent foil-type container, resulting in the components being effectively mixed.
