Abstract
Abstract A lower part (2) of a frame (1) comprises a filling valve (4) with an upwardly projecting filling plug which can be connected to a filling closure (8) in the base of a mountable portion container (5). A support (9) which projects upwardly from the lower part (2) of the frame (1) bears a dispensing connector (10) which is connected via a pipe (13) to the filling valve (4). A storage container (12), e.g. for a liquid permanent wave agent, can be mounted on the connector (10). The filling valve (4) is opened when the portion container (5) is mounted.
