Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0414198A1] Small quantities of prepared ointments or of corresponding pasty masses (10) are mostly filled into ointment tubs, in which the durability of the ointment is only relatively short, or into tubes (1). Filling into a tube takes place with a filling device which has to be cleaned, or with a plastic apron (3) intended for a single use, the ointment moistening, however, the inner, still open bottom end (2) of the tube and the squeezing together of this end requiring skill. Also with this device, tubes which have a latex ring cannot advantageously be used. An ointment is filled into a thin plastic apron (3) intended for a single use and is introduced by means of the same into the tube (10), a part of the plastic apron which has not been moistened by the ointment being brought, during its introduction, over the inner region of the bottom end so that this region is protected against moistening with the ointment. Manual filling of tubes with a pasty mass, in particular in dispensing. <IMAGE>
