Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017125118A1] A method for connecting two containers (10, 12), with the steps: 1) folding a first open end region (22) of a first container (10) around a first ring (14) in such a manner that a cuff (26) arises, 2) folding a second open end region (24) of a second container (12) around a second ring (16) in such a manner that a further cuff (28) arises, 3) introducing the one ring (16) into the other ring (14) with its attached container (10), 4) aligning the two rings (14, 16) parallel to and coaxially with each other, 5) bringing the rings (14, 16) into contact with film material (18) clamped between them, and 6) the cuff (28) which is assigned to the ring (16) introduced into the other ring (14) with its container (10), being turned inside out in the direction of the other cuff (26) which has already been folded on the other ring (14).
