Di "innovation relates to a container having an open \ outlet in a main part made of plastic or the like works \ material (zobo a natural oder.synthetischen rubber), and on such a container in conjunction with a closure member of the same or a similar material In such a container, the section containing the outlet from which the container contents are dispensed can be designed as a first container part which is separate from a second container part and can be attached to it so that it is connected to it and that the two container parts together I make out the whole container. The first container part is to be referred to below as the "pouring part", and the innovation also relates to such a pouring part for a loading

It is an object of the innovation to provide a container _s is so closed by such a closure part that the closure part can only be removed properly can be achieved una the BehSlterinhalt when it is touched with the fingers, but only after one of the container has made an irreversible change that is visible to the eye. Such combinations of a container and its closure part are generally referred to as tamper-proof in the sense that it is difficult or impossible to attempt to open the closed container without visible destruction, which makes it clear that someone is tampering with the container created.

The innovation is based on a container ₉ which has a main part with an open outlet which can be closed by sin Versehliaßteil; there is one with the main party]! body = loaned connected covering part outwardly via the outlet and is so connected to the main part along a separation zone that can be torn by hand to remove the covering part from the main part that a closure part _s which is attached to the outlet flush with the covering part or is sunk into it XSt _{8 can} only be grasped with the fingers for removal when the covering part has previously been at least partially removed.

The wrapping part may be provided with a innenliagenden Umfangseintiefung or an inner circumferential projection _8, or is adapted to cooperate with a these additional outer circumferential projection on the closure member with a these additional outer Umfangseintiefung bzWe to the removal of the closing part of the container _s au prevent

as long as the casing part is intact "

The outlet of a newly designed container has in the general, but not necessarily circular cross-section, wofcei the envelope part in the axial direction of the outlet to the main part and the width of the sheathing part is greater than the width, but smaller than the outer diameter of the cover hSltcrs is at the outlet so that the shroud part is against the Main part lays, whereby this a support for the cladding part when the valve plug is inserted into the outlet will"

For example, the covering member may be defined by a number of radial or longitudinal clans against the main part and thereby a number of perforations forming the van Behalterauslaß between the ribs, or have a rupturable membrane along the edge of the outlet.

If the kiss zone has such a tearable membrane, a grip can be provided on the envelope at an interruption in the membrane, which allows the tearing to remove the Wrapping before removing the closure part facilitated.

The envelope can also have a thin point, e.g. <2 height of any handle, in order to facilitate the tearing of the envelope and the tear zone before removing the closure part.

The preferred materials for the container are polypropylene, suitable copolymers of polypropylene and polyethylene ₀

On the other hand, the innovation represents a

container with at least one of the specified features combined with one in the specified way at the floodplain · » leave the closure part attached.

With such a combination of container and closure part, the closure part can consist of a relatively non-deformable central section and, adjoining this, a relatively resiliently deformable peripheral section, the connecting sections also being relatively deformable in the manner _; that the outlet is kept practically closed when deformed by the closure part »Such a closure part is described and drawn in the Provisional Specification of our pending British patent application * i * i 752/69 ·

In a preferred embodiment, the combination of The container and closure part have a circular cross-section, and the edge of the closure part fits exactly into the inside the container opening »

The mentioned relatively resiliently deformable means on the closure member can be used as coaxial zn of the opening lying and be embodied on one side (for example on the outer side) recess open _s wherein the recess resilient sidewalls of such large axial longitudinal extension that it can deform , if the Usirandungsabschnitt the closure part is deformed or bent by the application of an external transverse force; this avoids a significant load on the smock section of the closure part »

If the closure part has the indicated recess, can the Umrandungsabschnitt the outermost of the mentioned side walls represent the depression; these side walls may be ^ corpus axial Have lengths; Middle part, U-arandung part and deepening

walls of the closure part can be designed to be connected to one another, Z ₀ B ₀ from a piece of flexible plastic material,

Viewed differently, the innovation of the type described can be seen as a pouring part; it has at least one of the features mentioned in connection with the innovation mentioned at the beginning; it can also be viewed as a pouring part _s combined with a closing part attached to the opening of the pouring part »

As mere exemplary embodiments and on the basis of drawings who = • the following various types of container and combinations of container and closure are described; the drawings represent the following cars

The covering part can be removed in various ways! In the following, three possibilities are given o In one case, the sheathing part has a weakened point according to the type of section 30 in FIG. 10; The cover part is here designated 31. Next to the weakened point 30, a handle 32 is attached. If the handle is pulled in the direction of the arrow, the cover part tears at the weakened point and can then be unwound from the main part 10 along its edge become ₉ whereby one web IS is broken after the other. The weakened point of the covering part can be characterized, for example, by a lower material thickness or by an incision reducing the thickness of the covering or by one or more perforations.

Another method of removing the wrapper is taken away longitudinally from the main part, the Webs 18 are bent upwards until they break «.
