Abstract

A receptacle with several chambers which are basically arranged side by side. On the face side of this receptacle a proportioning device is provided. This proportioning device is basically determined by a chamber, which has a predetermined volume. In an embodiment the chamber can be moved between a filling position and an extraction position. This movement is executed in relation to the receptacle. In an additional embodiment the chamber is brought in connection with one of the other chambers via the filling hole by means of a disc. By operating the disc the filling hole can be closed and by operating an additional disc an extraction hole to the chamber can be opened. At the receptacle's side which is facing opposite to the proportioning device additional openings are provided. These openings can be closed by a cover or a similar device.
