ABSTRACT:
A coupling arrangement (5) includes an inner coupling device (9) within a package (1) and an outer coupling device (12) on a withdrawal arrangement (4). The outer coupling device (12) includes a tube section (14) that can break a wall of a package (1) and be introduced into a hole (15) in a part (10) of the inner coupling device (9). At least one protruding part (16) is arranged on and/or beside the tube section (14) of the outer coupling device (12). At least one hole (17) and/or a thin section (18) of wall is arranged in the part (10) of the inner coupling device (9). The protruding part (16) can be introduced into the hole (17) and/or break the thin section (18) of wall in order to allow coupling of the outer coupling device (12) and the inner coupling device (9). The protruding part (16) may prevent coupling of the inner coupling device (9) and the outer coupling device (12) if the part (10) provided with holes lacks the hole (17) and the thin section (18).
