Abstract

A container system having connection devices for establishing a fluid connection between the containers. In one aspect, a connection device comprises a thin point that, within its shape, has a tip between two at least substantially straight legs and wherein the other connection device has a ram with a splitting device that is designed and arranged such as to rupture said thin point by acting on the tip when the containers are coupled. In another aspect, the thin point surrounds the ram, and in a third aspect the connection devices have corresponding, similar thin points, closure elements and splitting devices. In further aspects, the connection devices are similar, and the connection devices are linearly guided.
