Abstract
The invention relates to a two-compartment container of simple construction in one piece [as a whole], comprising two compartments stacked one upon another, which are connected by a passage opening. The passage opening is sealed by a stopper, and a closing cap which is fitted on top of the upper chamber and which partly embraces the outer wall of the same. The stopper has a connecting element which reaches into the upper chamber and has an end that is shaped as a rectangular or disk part. Underneath the end part, hook-shaped and contoured supports snap in, forming the lower end of a handle which has an enlargement on its upper end that protrudes from the container. The handle is connected to the closure cap in one piece by an elastic membrane which is turned in to the inside as long as the chamber is closed, and turned outside when the stopper is removed.
