Description

[0001] Container head

[0002] The present invention relates to a container head according to the features of the preamble of claim 1, as well as a drinking bottle. Today, a large number of beverages are consumed that contain a permanently unhealthily high proportion of calories, particularly sugar, and / or alcohol and / or other substances that, while flavorful, are ultimately harmful to health. To remedy this problem, it is known to dilute the flavorful or flavor-enhancing substances with water or other suitable, drinkable liquids. This, however, also results in the mixed beverage tasting diluted.

[0003] US 5,353,964 A is prior art and discloses a baby bottle with two containers nested inside each other, the connecting piece of which has a lever for adjusting the mixing ratio of the two liquids. The two liquids are dispensed into the teat of the

[0004] Bottle mixed before leaving the teat.

[0005] WO 2018 / 234275 A1 discloses a drinking bottle with two containers for two drinkable liquids, which discharge through adjacent outlet openings when drinking. In the prior art, either two liquids are mixed together before the mixture is consumed, or two liquids are discharged through adjacent outlet openings of a drinking bottle. As a result, the drinker's taste buds perceive the taste of a diluted beverage.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a container head that allows a first, intensely flavored drinkable liquid to be mixed with a second, intensely flavored drinkable liquid during consumption without significantly diminishing the taste experience of the intensely flavored drinkable liquid for the drinker. With regard to the present invention, this is achieved by the features of claim 1.

[0007] It is therefore provided according to the invention in a container head according to the preamble of claim 1 that the first outlet opening is arranged further away from an end of the mouthpiece which is opposite the base body in the operating position than the second outlet opening.

[0008] Because the first outlet opening is located closer to the base body in the longitudinal direction and thus further away from an end of the mouthpiece opposite the base body in the operating position than the second outlet opening, the first drinkable liquid, which is preferably the liquid with the more intense flavor, can be supplied from the first container directly to the taste buds on the tongue via the first outlet opening when drinking, whereas the second drinkable liquid, which is preferably used for dilution, exits the second container further back in the mouth, where it has little or practically no influence on the sense of taste. This makes it possible to dilute a first drinkable liquid with an intense flavor, but also one that is, for example, high in calories and / or alcohol, with a second drinkable liquid when drinking, without the drinker having the taste sensation of dilution.For the drinker, the taste experience is at least essentially the same as if he drank the first, more flavorful liquid undiluted.

[0009] By distributing two drinkable liquids in the mouth in this way, where the first drinkable liquid may contain, for example, more flavorings and / or sweeteners and / or even more alcohol than the second drinkable liquid, the drinker essentially only tastes the undiluted first drinkable liquid and simultaneously consumes a larger total amount of liquid, since the first drinkable liquid mixes with the second drinkable liquid further back in the mouth, where the first drinkable liquid is diluted.

[0010] A basic idea of ​​the invention is therefore to design the container head and in particular its mouthpiece in such a way that the first drinkable liquid is directed directly to the taste buds on the tongue, while the second drinkable liquid is directed specifically past the taste buds of the tongue.

[0011] For the sake of simplicity, the first drinkable liquid will be referred to below as the first liquid, and the second drinkable liquid will be referred to as the second liquid. In other words, the mouthpiece that extends longitudinally can also be referred to as a shaft-shaped and / or bolt-shaped and / or straw-shaped mouthpiece.

[0012] The first outlet opening and the second outlet opening are each outwardly open outlet openings in the mouthpiece. In the case of a first outlet opening and a second outlet opening, these two outwardly open outlet openings can be oriented in all directions and / or have different exit directions.

[0013] Container heads according to the invention can be designed for drinking from two or more than two containers. For example, in a preferred embodiment, connections for three or more containers can also be provided in order to be able to drink three or more drinkable liquids simultaneously in the manner according to the invention. The connections of the container head can be designed such that the containers, when connected to the container head, are arranged inside one another and / or next to one another. If there are more than two connections for more than two containers, a corresponding number of outlet openings and liquid lines is preferably also provided analogously. The arrangement of the outlet openings relative to one another in the mouthpiece is carried out according to the invention. The number of connections, outlet openings and liquid lines is therefore not limited to two each as in the described exemplary embodiments.The containers can be designed as separate bodies. However, they can also be connected to one another as a single piece. In this case, one can also speak of a multi-chamber container, which comprises at least two containers. The first liquid, the second liquid, and any additional liquids can each be a single liquid, such as juice or water. These liquids can equally well be individual or all of them, or even pre-mixed mixtures of liquids.

[0014] The connection between the first container and the first connection and / or the connection between the second container and the second connection is / are preferably designed to be non-destructively detachable. For example, at least one of these connections can be a non-destructively detachable plug connection and / or clamp connection and / or screw connection.

[0015] The mouthpiece can be fixed or detachably attached to the base body. In the operating position, the mouthpiece is always attached to the base body.

[0016] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that a distance, preferably measured parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece, between the first outlet opening and the second outlet opening is at least 3 mm, preferably at least 5 mm, particularly preferably at least 8 mm. This distance is particularly preferably in a range from 3 mm to 20 mm, or in a range from 5 mm to 20 mm, or in a range from 8 mm to 20 mm.

[0018] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the first outlet opening and the second outlet opening are arranged on different, preferably opposite, sides of the mouthpiece.

[0019] In this way, the first liquid can be released downwards from the mouthpiece, preferably directly onto the tongue, while the second liquid leaves the mouthpiece upwards, towards the palate, and thus has less or no contact with the taste buds on the tongue.

[0020] A further advantage of this arrangement is that an upwardly directed outlet opening cannot be closed by the tongue. According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, the mouthpiece can be provided with at least one bead, wherein the bead is arranged directly adjacent to the first outlet opening or is spaced from the first outlet opening at a distance of at most twice, preferably at most once, the height of the bead, preferably measured parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece.

[0021] A bead is an area of ​​the mouthpiece that projects beyond the areas of the mouthpiece adjacent to the bead,

[0022] The height of the bead is preferably measured in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece and is a measure of the maximum extent by which the bead projects beyond an area of ​​the mouthpiece adjacent to the bead.

[0023] A bead can, but does not necessarily have to, be defined by a rounded surface. The bead can serve two functions. First, the bead can serve as a positioning aid for the mouthpiece within the mouth. The bead can be placed behind the teeth, allowing the mouthpiece to be correctly positioned within the mouth, thus ensuring that the first outlet opening and the second outlet opening are both within the mouth. Second, the bead can act as a spacer for the tongue, preventing the first outlet opening from being closed by the tongue.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the bead runs along a circumferential line of the mouthpiece, wherein the circumferential line of the mouthpiece lies in a plane, wherein the longitudinal extension direction of the mouthpiece is normal to this plane.

[0025] It can preferably be provided that a circumferential line of the mouthpiece along which the bead runs is an imaginary circumferential line of the mouthpiece.

[0026] Furthermore, it can preferably be provided that the bead completely encloses the mouthpiece or extends only over parts of the circumference of the mouthpiece.

[0027] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the first outlet opening opens into an outwardly open channel in the mouthpiece, wherein the channel runs at least partially along a circumference of the mouthpiece.

[0028] When drinking, the first liquid flows out of the first outlet opening and can be more easily directed around the mouthpiece thanks to the channel. This also allows an additional volume of the first liquid to be left in the mouth when the mouthpiece is removed after drinking, creating a distinct aftertaste.

[0029] It can preferably be provided that the channel runs along the circumference of the mouthpiece at an angle of up to 90°, starting from the first outlet opening. In other words, this means that the channel can consist of two circular segments, with the two circular segments each enclosing an angle of 90° in different directions, starting from the first outlet opening.

[0030] Furthermore, it can be provided that the channel runs along one or the circumferential line, wherein the circumferential line lies in a plane, wherein the longitudinal extension direction of the mouthpiece is normal to this plane.

[0031] In any case, the canal can be used to distribute the first liquid evenly over the tongue so that as many taste buds as possible are reached.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the first outlet opening opens into an elongated reservoir formed as an outwardly open groove in the mouthpiece, wherein it is preferably provided that the reservoir is arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece from the first outlet opening to the end of the mouthpiece, which in the operating position is opposite the base body. Preferably, however, this reservoir does not extend to the said end of the

[0033] The distance is not the same as the mouthpiece, but rather no more than 70% of the distance between the first outlet opening and the end of the mouthpiece opposite the base body in the operating position. This distance is also preferably measured in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the mouthpiece.

[0034] With the help of the reservoir, an additional volume of the first liquid can be left in the mouth, specifically on the tongue, when the mouthpiece is removed after drinking, which creates a pronounced aftertaste.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the second outlet opening is formed at the end of the mouthpiece which is opposite the base body in the operating position, wherein it is preferably provided that the second outlet opening extends both over a part of a lateral surface of the mouthpiece and over a part of an end face of the mouthpiece which is opposite the base body in the operating position.

[0036] In a mouthpiece that extends longitudinally, the surfaces that border the mouthpiece in the longitudinal direction represent the end surfaces, while the remaining surfaces are the lateral surfaces. In a simple example, the mouthpiece is a simple cylinder that has an upper and a lower end surface as well as a lateral surface. This cylinder can have a circular, oval, or other shaped base or end surface. It can also be a cuboid, for example, which also has an upper and lower end surface, in

[0037] Unlike a cylinder, however, it has a four-sided outer surface. In other words, this means that the second outlet opening extends over an edge of the end of the mouthpiece, which in the operating position is opposite the base body, and is thus arranged partly on one of the end surfaces of the mouthpiece and partly on the or on one of the outer surfaces of the mouthpiece.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the course of the first liquid line towards the first outlet opening is completely straight and / or the course of the second liquid line towards the second outlet opening has a change of direction at least once.

[0039] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the container head has a metering device with an actuator for adjusting a flow cross-section in the first liquid line and / or in the second liquid line.

[0040] This allows the ratio of the quantity of the first liquid delivered per unit of time to the quantity of the second liquid delivered per unit of time to be adjusted. The at least one actuator can be designed, for example, as a pivotable lever.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the actuator can be adjusted to a first position, in which the first liquid and / or second liquid is completely blocked, and / or to a second, fully open position, in which the first liquid or second liquid is dispensed from the mouthpiece. Various intermediate positions are also possible. For example, the dispensed amount of the first liquid or second liquid can be set to one-third of the total amount of liquid dispensed through the mouthpiece.

[0042] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the first liquid line is shorter than the second liquid line.

[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the mouthpiece can be removed from the base body in a non-destructive manner and can be attached to the base body in a non-destructive manner.

[0044] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that at least one ventilation device for ventilating and / or venting the first container and / or the second container is or are provided in the container head, preferably in the base body.

[0045] According to a preferred embodiment of the container head, it can be provided that the container head has a lid, wherein the lid sealingly closes the first outlet opening and the second outlet opening in a fastened state.

[0046] Furthermore, protection is sought for a drinking bottle, wherein the drinking bottle has a container head according to the invention and a first container and a second container, wherein the first container is connected to the first connection and the second container is connected to the second connection.

[0047] If the first container is connected to the first connection on the

[0048] If the first container is connected to the container head and the second container is connected to the container head via the second connection, then in a preferred embodiment, the first container can be arranged within the second container. However, embodiments are also conceivable, for example, in which the containers attached to the connections of the container head are arranged side by side. Drinking bottles according to the invention can, of course, also comprise more than two containers if the container head, as described above, has more than two connections.

[0049] Further advantages and details of preferred embodiments of the invention are apparent from the figures and the associated descriptions. Herein:

[0050] Fig. 1 to 4: an embodiment of a drinking bottle with a container head, a first container and a second container;

[0051] Fig. 5 to 9: Representations of the container head from Fig. 1 to 4; Fig. 10 to 12: Representations of the mouthpiece from Fig. 1 to 9.

[0052] Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a drinking bottle 23 with a container head 1, a first container 6 and a second container 8.

[0053] In this embodiment, the container head 1 comprises a base body 4 and a mouthpiece 3. The second container 8 is the outer container and can enclose the container 6 arranged therein. The first container 6 is represented by a dashed line in this illustration.

[0054] Containers 6 and 8 can be made of a wide variety of materials. For example, containers 6 and 8 can be made of plastic, metal, and / or composite material, have different colors, and / or be opaque or transparent. They can also be provided with a smooth or rough and / or satin-finished surface.

[0055] In this exemplary embodiment, the longitudinal extension direction 2 of the container head 1 runs vertically from bottom to top and coincides with the rotational axis of the container head 1. Due to the essentially rotationally symmetrical design of the container head 1, the first container 5, and the second container 8, specifically the drinking bottle 23, in this exemplary embodiment the longitudinal extension direction 2 also coincides with a essentially rotationally symmetrical axis of the entire drinking bottle 23.

[0056] In Fig.l and 2, the first container 6 is connected to the container head 1 by means of the first connection 5 and the second container 8 is connected to the container head 1 by means of the second connection 7, in such a way that a first liquid in the first container 6 can flow into the first liquid line 9 via the first connection 5 and a second liquid in the second container 8 can flow into the second liquid line 11 via the second connection 7 when the drinking bottle 23 is tilted accordingly when drinking.

[0057] Fig. 2 shows a top view of the drinking bottle 23 from Fig. 1.

[0058] The top view shows the container head 1 from above and thus the base body 4 and the mouthpiece 3. In the base body 4 next to the mouthpiece 3 there are two

[0059] Ventilation devices 21 for ventilating and / or deaerating the containers 6 and 8. In this exemplary embodiment, the ventilation devices 21 are two separate areas that represent a fluid connection between the environment and the interior of the first container 6 and the second container 8. The ventilation devices 2.1 can be permanently open openings. However, they can also have valves that admit air into the respective container 6 or 8, but prevent liquid from flowing out of the respective container 6 or 8. For this purpose, known silicone umbrella valves, for example, could be integrated into one or all of the ventilation devices 21.

[0060] Fig. 3 shows the drinking bottle 23 from Fig. 1 with a lid 22.

[0061] This illustration shows the drinking bottle 23 from Fig. 1, with a lid 22 attached to the second container 8. The lid 22 is connected to the second container 8 by a screw connection, specifically a threaded connection. Of course, the lid could also be attached directly to the container head 1, for example, by means of a screw connection. Instead of a screw connection, other types of connection, such as a clamp connection, can also be used at this point.

[0062] Fig. 4 shows a top view of the drinking bottle 23 from Fig. 3.

[0063] In this top view, only the lid 22 is visible. There are projections on the periphery of the lid 22 to facilitate screwing and unscrewing the lid 22 from the container head 1.

[0064] Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the container head 1 from Fig. 1. In this representation of the container head 1, the mouthpiece 3 and the base body 4 can be seen, as in Fig. 1. One of the two ventilation devices 21 is also visible, whereas the other of the two ventilation devices 21 is obscured by the perspective view.

[0065] In this exemplary embodiment, the mouthpiece 3 is a mouthpiece 3 which extends longitudinally in the longitudinal direction 2. Preferably, the mouthpiece 3 is designed essentially in the shape of a shaft or bolt, as is also realized in this exemplary embodiment.

[0066] Fig. 5 shows the operating position in which the mouthpiece 3 is attached to the base body 4.

[0067] The mouthpiece 3 has a first outlet opening 10 and a second outlet opening 12. The first outlet opening 10 opens into a channel 15 and the reservoir 16.

[0068] Fig. 6 shows an exploded view of the container head 1 from Fig. 1.

[0069] In this illustration, the mouthpiece 3, the base body 4 and the actuator 20 are clearly visible and separated from each other.

[0070] In addition to the ventilation devices 21, the base body 4 comprises a centrally located hole into which the mouthpiece 3 can be inserted. In this exemplary embodiment, the mouthpiece 3 and the base body 4 can thus be connected to one another via a plug-in connection. Screw connections and the like are also possible. In another exemplary embodiment, the mouthpiece 3 and the base body 4 can, but does not have to, be connected to one another via another non-destructively detachable connection. A non-destructively detachable connection can, as in this example, be a plug-in connection or a clamp connection, but also another connection such as a screw connection. The exemplary embodiments of a connection between the mouthpiece 3 and the base body 4 mentioned here are not to be understood as restrictive, since any desired connection between the mouthpiece 3 and the base body 4 is possible.The same applies to the preferably non-destructively detachable connection of the actuator 20, designed here as a pivotable lever, to the base body 4.

[0071] The base body 4 has a recess in a region of its round peripheral surface into which the actuator 20 can be inserted. The actuator 20 can be moved within the recess in the peripheral surface of the base body 4 and its movement radius is limited by the peripheral surface of the base body 4. In this embodiment, the actuator 20 is designed as a pivotable lever with which the flow cross-section in the second fluid line 11 can be adjusted.

[0072] The mouthpiece 3 has a first outlet opening 10 and a second outlet opening 12, a bead 14 and a channel 15.

[0073] The first outlet opening 10 can be arranged exclusively in the area of ​​the outer surface 17 of the mouthpiece 3.

[0074] The first outlet opening 10 can be in the

[0075] The first outlet opening 10 can be aligned in the longitudinal direction 2, as is realized in this exemplary embodiment and clearly visible in the following Fig. 7, or inclined at an angle to the longitudinal direction 2. In this exemplary embodiment, the first outlet opening 10 opens into the channel 15 and into the reservoir 16.

[0076] As also shown in this exemplary embodiment, it can be provided that the first outlet opening 10 and the second outlet opening 12 are arranged on different, preferably opposite, sides of the mouthpiece 3. In other words, this specifically means that the first outlet opening 10 and the second outlet opening 12 are arranged opposite one another on the outer surface 17 of the mouthpiece 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, the bead 14 is a rounded elevation which extends over the entire imaginary circumferential line of a cross-sectional plane of the mouthpiece 3, wherein the longitudinal extension direction 2 of the mouthpiece 3 is normal to the cross-sectional plane.

[0078] In this embodiment, the bead 14 is immediately adjacent to the first outlet opening 10.

[0079] In another embodiment, it can be provided that the bead 14 is at a distance, preferably measured parallel to the longitudinal direction 2 of the mouthpiece 3, of at most three times, preferably at most twice, particularly preferably at most once, the height of the bead 14 from the first outlet opening 10.

[0080] In any case, the bead 14 prevents the first outlet opening 10, and preferably also the channel 15, from being closed by the drinker's tongue. It also serves as a positioning aid in the drinker's mouth.

[0081] The channel 15 is an outwardly open channel that extends over a large part of the circumference of a cross-sectional plane of the mouthpiece 3, with the longitudinal extension direction 2 of the mouthpiece 3 being perpendicular to this cross-sectional plane. In another embodiment, the channel 15 can extend only over a smaller area of ​​the circumference of the mouthpiece 3.

[0082] As provided in this embodiment, the channel 15 can be arranged directly adjacent to the bead 14. In another embodiment, the bead 14 and the channel 15 can be separated from each other by a distance measured in the longitudinal direction 2.

[0083] Fig. 7 shows a sectional view of the container head 1 from Fig. 1 in the section plane AA from Fig. 2.

[0084] In Fig. 7, it is clearly visible that the first container 6 is connected to the container head 1 via the first connection 5, and the second container 8 is connected to the container head 1 via the second connection 7. Furthermore, it can be seen that the interior of the containers 6 and 8 is each connected to the environment via the ventilation devices 21 to allow pressure equalization and the inflow of air during drinking. When the containers* 6 and 8 are connected to the connections 5 and 7, air displaced from the containers 6 and 8 can also flow out via the ventilation devices 21.The ventilation devices 21 can thus be used both for ventilating and for venting. The mouthpiece 3 comprises a first liquid line 9, which runs from the first connection 5 and thus from the first container 6 to the first outlet opening 10 in the interior of the mouthpiece 3, and a second liquid line 11, which runs from the second connection 7 and thus from the second container 8 in the interior of the mouthpiece 3 to the second outlet opening 12.

[0085] The first outlet opening 10 opens into the outwardly open channel 15 in the mouthpiece, wherein the channel 15 runs at least partially along a circumference of the mouthpiece 3.

[0086] Apart from this, the first outlet opening 10 can instead or additionally, as also realized in this embodiment, open into an elongated reservoir 16 designed as an outwardly open groove in the mouthpiece 3, wherein it is preferably provided that the reservoir 16 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction 2 of the mouthpiece 3 from the first outlet opening 10 to the end of the mouthpiece 3 opposite the base body 4 in the operating position.

[0087] In this exemplary embodiment, the distance 13 between the first outlet opening 10 and the second outlet opening 12, measured in the longitudinal direction 2, is at least 3 mm, preferably at least 5 mm, particularly preferably at least 8 mm. However, the distance 13 is preferably in a range up to a maximum of 20 mm.

[0088] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the second outlet opening 12 is formed at the end of the mouthpiece 3 which is opposite the base body 4 in the operating position, wherein it is preferably provided that the second outlet opening 12 extends both over a part of a lateral surface 17 of the mouthpiece 3 and over a part of an end face 18 of the mouthpiece 3 which is opposite the base body 4 in the operating position.

[0089] mouthpiece. This is also realized in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7.

[0090] In this preferred embodiment, it is also clearly visible in Fig. 7 that the course of the first fluid line 9 toward the first outlet opening 10 is completely straight, and the course of the second fluid line 11 toward the second outlet opening 12 changes direction at least once. However, other solutions are naturally also possible within the scope of the invention.

[0091] In this way, it turns out that the first liquid line 9 is shorter than the second liquid line 11.

[0092] Fig. 8 shows a sectional view of the container head 1 and the lid 22 from Fig. 3 in the section plane BB from Fig. 4.

[0093] In this illustration, it is clearly visible that the lid 22 is attached to the drinking bottle 23, specifically to the second container 8, via a fastening means. This fastening means in this embodiment comprises an external thread of the second container 8 and an internal thread of the lid 22. The lid 22 could be

[0094] However, variants can also be attached directly to the container head 1.

[0095] The lid 22 can, as also realized here, seal the first outlet opening 10 and the second outlet opening 12 when attached to the container head 1.

[0096] Fig. 9 shows a sectional view of the container head 1 from Fig. 1 based on the sectional plane CC from Fig. 7.

[0097] In this illustration, the dosing device 1.9 is clearly visible. It has an actuator 20 with which a flow cross-section of the second fluid line 11 can be adjusted. In this exemplary embodiment, the actuator 20 is a pivotable lever whose pivot point is located on the base body 4. In the illustrated position of the actuator 20, the fluid line 11 is open. If the actuator 20 is moved to the opposite position, the fluid line 11 is increasingly closed, thus reducing the flow cross-section.

[0098] The actuator 20 can be adjusted in steps or continuously. By adjusting the flow cross-section in the second fluid line 11, the flow rate of the second fluid and thus ultimately the consumption ratio or the quantity ratio of the first to the second fluid can be adjusted.

[0099] In another embodiment, it may be provided instead or additionally that another and / or the same metering device controls the volume flow, in other words the flow cross-section, of the first liquid line 9 and thus the flow rate of the first liquid.

[0100] Fig. 10 shows a detailed view of the mouthpiece 3 from Fig. 1. The bead 14 and the channel 15 are clearly visible, Fig. 11 shows a sectional view of the mouthpiece 3 from Fig. 1 in the section plane DD from Fig. 10. In this view, the cross section of the mouthpiece 3 is shown along the section plane DD in the direction of view towards the base body 4.

[0101] The bead 14 and the outwardly open channel 15 are concentric with the rotationally symmetrical axis of the mouthpiece 3. The first outlet opening 10 and the second liquid line 11 are not concentric with the rotationally symmetrical axis of the mouthpiece 3.

[0102] The second fluid line 11 has a flow cross-section that, in this exemplary embodiment, essentially corresponds to the shape of a circular ring. Adjacent and at a certain distance is the first outlet opening 10, which, in this exemplary embodiment, has a circular cross-section.

[0103] The channel 15 is delimited inwardly by the hatched area. The outwardly open channel 15 is delimited outwardly by an imaginary circumferential line, which is shown as a dashed line in Fig. 11 and corresponds to the circumferential contour of the end of the mouthpiece opposite the base body 4 in the operating position.

[0104] Fig. 12 shows a sectional view of the mouthpiece 3 from Fig. 1 in the section plane EE from Fig. 10.

[0105] In this illustration, the cross-section of the mouthpiece 3 is shown along the section plane DD, looking away from the base body 4. The second fluid line 11 and the reservoir 16 are not concentric with the rotationally symmetrical axis of the mouthpiece 3. The second fluid line 11 is located in the hatched area and has the same shape as described in Fig. 11.
