Abstract
An assembly of a tube-shaped body and a tube-shaped cap, which are open at one distal side, is provided to manufacture a capsule for enclosing a medicine. At least one recess is arranged in an outer surface of the body, wherein at least one fixating bulge is arranged in an inner surface of the cap, which is destined to be snugly received in the recess in the outer surface of the body in order to realize a fixed snap connection between the body and the cap. A smallest inner diameter of the fixating bulge of the cap is equal to or smaller than a smallest outer diameter of the recess in the body, which contributes to realizing a fixed snap connection which is firm to such an extent that the capsule is suitable for application in an inhalation apparatus comprising provisions for piercing the capsule at least one place.
