Eine derartige Mehrkomponentenkartusche ist aus der US 5 249 709 A bekannt. Dort sind zwei nebeneinander angeordnete hohlzylindrische Kartuschenbehälter durch eine Stiftverbindung zusammensteckbar miteinander verbunden. Hierzu sind an einem Quersteg am Kartuschenhals der beiden Kartuschenbehälter jeweils ein Verbindungsstift und eine dazu passende Aufnahme angeordnet. Die Verbindungsstifte und die Aufnahmen sind an den Querstegen derart angeordnet, dass der Verbindungsstift an dem einen Quersteg in die Aufnahme am jeweils anderen Quersteg passt. Zur Verbindung der beiden Kartuschenbehälter an hinteren Ende ist an dem einen Kartuschenbehälter ebenfalls ein Verbindungsstift und an dem anderen Kartuschenbehälter eine dazu passende Aufnahme vorgesehen. Die Verbindungsstifte und die dazugehörigen Aufnahmen sind zwar zur besseren Halterung konisch ausgeführt, dennoch kann die Verbindung relativ einfach gelöst werden. Besonders wenn auf eine derartige Mehrkomponentenkartusche ein Schlag ausgeübt wird, kann es ohne weiteres vorkommen, dass die beiden Kartuschenbehälter beim Abfüllen, Lagern oder Applizieren getrennt werden, was zu Handhabungsproblemen führen kann oder wodurch eine leckagefreie Verbindung mit einem statischen Mischer nicht mehr gewährleistet ist.Such a multi-component cartridge is from the US 5 249 709 A known. There are two juxtaposed hollow cylindrical cartridge container connected together by a pin connection. For this purpose, in each case a connecting pin and a matching receptacle are arranged on a transverse web on the cartridge neck of the two cartridge containers. The connecting pins and the receptacles are arranged on the transverse webs such that the connecting pin fits on the one transverse web into the receptacle on the respective other cross web. To connect the two cartridge containers to the rear end, a connecting pin is likewise provided on the one cartridge container and a matching receptacle on the other cartridge container. Although the connecting pins and the associated receptacles are tapered for better retention, nevertheless, the connection can be relatively easily solved. Especially when impact is applied to such a multicomponent cartridge, it may easily occur that the two cartridge containers are separated during filling, storage or application, which can lead to handling problems or whereby a leak-free connection with a static mixer is no longer guaranteed.
