Deformable tubular container

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a new tubular container which can contain at least two products without these two products being able to get mixed together prior to their use, and this without making more complex the production of the container made as a single element by an injection process.
According to a first object of the invention, the deformable tubular container includes at least one longitudinal corrugated, partition-forming wall defining distinct compartments inside a deformable tubular body, a portion at least of the wall which is at a level of a bottom portion of the body having a width equal to an inner half perimeter of said body when fully expanded to eliminate the corrugations and said wall being rigidly and tightly connected to an inner wall of said body by segments.
The bottom portion of the body being flattened and sealed against the fully expanded partition-forming wall to form a flattened sealed end of the tubular body.
The invention is also applied to a method for producing the above container.
According to a second object of the invention, the method for producing as a single element a container including at least one inner longitudinal wall defining distinct compartments inside the deformable tubular body of the container, said container being produced by injection of a plastics material in a mold, comprises the steps of providing a core which is movable with respect to the mold, the core being formed with at least one longitudinal slit for formation of the longitudinal wall and with connection means for connecting slit portions of the core with the mold while preventing deformation thereof.
Various other features of the invention will become more apparent from the hereafter detailed description.
