Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure according to the preamble of claim 1 for a bottle or the like.
  • closures for bottles are either screw closures or crown closures. Both types of closure essentially consist of a cap-shaped part which is positively connected to the bottle neck. There is also a seal between the closure and the bottle neck. Because of the positive connection, the bottle is closed pressure-tight. As a result, there is a risk that the bottle will be damaged in the event of overpressure. Both with plastic bottles and with glass bottles, this can lead to breakage and leakage of the liquid, which means a considerable risk if the contents of the bottle are dangerous. In the case of glass bottles, there is also a risk of injury to people, especially the eye from flying glass fragments.
  • Cap-shaped closures made of plastic for bottles are also known, which are snapped onto the bottle neck. Just as they snap open, they can also snap down and allow excess pressure to escape, but the point at which they yield to the excess pressure is undefined and, moreover, they do not close automatically after the excess pressure has released.
  • a screw cap is known from US Pat. No. 2,950,833, the bottom of which is formed from two halves of a disk which are articulated to a common, diametrical axis. The flaps thus formed rest loosely on the front edge of a cylindrical screw part. A tight closure of a bottle is not possible with this known screw cap, so that the problem of avoiding inadmissibly high overpressures cannot arise in the first place.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a closure of the type in question for bottles or the like, in which the risk of the bottles bursting due to excess pressure is avoided.
  • the invention is based on the basic idea of designing the closure in the form of a pressure relief valve which, of course, can be dimensioned such that no impermissibly high pressures arise.
  • Escaping gas or liquid in the bottle limits the pressure to the maximum permissible level. This means that the bottle cannot burst, which can lead to accidents, in particular in the case of glass bottles, for example damage to eyes due to flying glass fragments.
  • the danger is also great with plastic bottles if there is a dangerous liquid in the bottle. Since bottles filled with liquid, for example bottles of carbonated lemonade, are generally stored and transported upright, excess pressure only escapes in the form of the gas, so that the liquid does not escape at all. The advantage of Avoiding excess pressure is therefore only offset by the completely negligible disadvantage of the partial escape of carbon dioxide.

  • the rod can be made of metal, in particular steel, so that it retains its elastic properties over a long period of time and the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve is therefore precisely defined over a long period.
  • the elastic element can be formed by the sealing part itself, in that it is designed to be elastic, for example by thin dimensioning or by appropriate choice of material.
  • the elastic compliance can also only partially exist, for example in the edge area.

Abstract

Closure for a bottle or similar, with a cap-shaped holding part (2) provided with an inward-facing projection or collar (3) for engaging the protruding lip of the neck of a bottle, and with a sealing part, independent of the holding part yet connected with it, with an annular sealing surface lying on the surface of the bottle neck. The sealing part is connected to the holding part by means of an elastic element (27) or is itself elastic, forming an excess pressure valve. When the closure seals the neck of a bottle, the holding part, under the tension of the elastic element (27), rests on the upper edge of the bottle neck. When the spring tension registers pressure, the holding part opens, preventing the build-up of excessive pressure. Bottles are thereby prevented from bursting, and the risk of accidents is avoided.

Description

Verschluß für eine Flasche oder dergleichen Closure for a bottle or the like
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluß gemäß dem Ober¬ begriff des Anspruchs 1 für eine Flasche oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a closure according to the preamble of claim 1 for a bottle or the like.
Bekannte Verschlüsse für Flaschen sind entweder Schraub verschlüsse oder Krone Verschlüsse. Beide Verschlußarten be- stehen im wesentlichen aus einem kappenför igen Teil, das formsσhlüssig mit dem Flaschenhals verbunden ist. Zwischen dem Verschluß und dem Flaschenhals befindet sich auch noch eine Dichtung. Wegen der formschlüssigen Verbindung ist die Flasche druckfest geschlossen. Dadurch besteht die Gefahr, daß die Flasche bei Überdruck beschädigt wird. Sowohl bei Flaschen aus Kunststoff wie auch bei Flaschen aus Glas kann dies zu Brüchen und zum Auslaufen der Flüssigkeit führen, was bei gefährlichem Flascheninhalt eine beträchtliche Ge¬ fahr bedeutet. Im Falle von Glasflaschen besteht außerdem die Gefahr der Verletzung von Personen, insbesondere der Aug durch herumfliegende Glassplitter.Known closures for bottles are either screw closures or crown closures. Both types of closure essentially consist of a cap-shaped part which is positively connected to the bottle neck. There is also a seal between the closure and the bottle neck. Because of the positive connection, the bottle is closed pressure-tight. As a result, there is a risk that the bottle will be damaged in the event of overpressure. Both with plastic bottles and with glass bottles, this can lead to breakage and leakage of the liquid, which means a considerable risk if the contents of the bottle are dangerous. In the case of glass bottles, there is also a risk of injury to people, especially the eye from flying glass fragments.
Es sind auch kappenförmige Verschlüsse aus Kunststoff für Flaschen bekannt, die auf den Flaschenhals aufgeschnappt werden. Genauso wie sie aufschnappen, können sie auch herunte schnappen und dabei Überdruck entweichen lassen, jedoch ist der Punkt, an dem sie dem Überdruck nachgeben, nicht definier und außerdem schließen sie sich nach Entweichen des Über¬ druckes nicht selbsttätig.Cap-shaped closures made of plastic for bottles are also known, which are snapped onto the bottle neck. Just as they snap open, they can also snap down and allow excess pressure to escape, but the point at which they yield to the excess pressure is undefined and, moreover, they do not close automatically after the excess pressure has released.
Durch die DE-OS 14 32 188 ist ein Verschluß der betreffe den Art bekannt, der die Form einer Schraubverschlußkappe mit Haftstopfen hat, welcher ein von der Schraubverschlußkappe getrenntes Teil bildet und reib- und for schlüssig mit der Schraubverschlußkappe verbunden ist. Der Haftstopfen stellt somit nichts weiter als eine besondere Form einer Dichtung dar, die unbeweglich mit der Schraubverschlußkappe ver¬ bunden ist. Diese bekannte Schraubverschlußkappe unter- scheidet sich daher nicht von den bekannten, eingangs ge¬ nannten Schraubverschlußkappen und hat daher die gleichen Nachteil , insbesondere den der Gefahr des Platzens.From DE-OS 14 32 188 a closure of the type in question is known, which has the shape of a screw cap with adhesive plug, which forms a separate part from the screw cap and frictionally and positively with the Screw cap is connected. The adhesive plug thus represents nothing more than a special form of a seal which is immovably connected to the screw cap. This known screw cap does not differ from the known screw cap mentioned at the outset and therefore has the same disadvantage, in particular that of the risk of bursting.
Durch die US-PS 2 950 833 ist eine Schraubverschluß- kappe bekannt, deren Boden aus zwei Hälften einer Scheibe gebildet ist, die an einer gemeinsamen, diametralen Achse gelenkig befestigt sind. Die so gebildeten Klappen liegen lose auf der Stirnkante eines zylindrischen Schraubteils auf. Ein dichter Verschluß einer Flasche ist durch diese bekannte Schraubverschlußkappe nicht möglich, so daß auch das Problem der Vermeidung von unzulässig hohen Überdrücken gar nicht erst entstehen kann.A screw cap is known from US Pat. No. 2,950,833, the bottom of which is formed from two halves of a disk which are articulated to a common, diametrical axis. The flaps thus formed rest loosely on the front edge of a cylindrical screw part. A tight closure of a bottle is not possible with this known screw cap, so that the problem of avoiding inadmissibly high overpressures cannot arise in the first place.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verschluß der betreffenden Art für Flaschen oder dergleichen zu schaf¬ fen, bei dem die Gefahr des Platzens der Flaschen durch Über- druck vermieden ist.The invention has for its object to provide a closure of the type in question for bottles or the like, in which the risk of the bottles bursting due to excess pressure is avoided.
Die der Erfindung zugrundliegende Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebene Lehre gelöst.The object underlying the invention is achieved by the teaching specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Grundgedanken, den Ver¬ schluß in Form eines Überdruckventils auszubilden, das sich naturgemäß so dimensionieren läßt, daß keine unzulässig hohen Drücke entstehen. Durch Entweichen von Gas oder Flüssigkeit in der Flasche wird der Druck auf das hochstzulässige Maß begrenzt. D_j,e Flasche kann daher nicht platzen, was inbe¬ sondere im Fall von Glasflaschen zu Unfällen, beispielsweise Beschädigung von Augen durch herumfliegende Glassplitter, führen kann. Auch bei Kunststofflaschen ist die Gefahr dann groß, wenn sich in der Flasche eine gefährliche Flüssigkeit befindet. Da mit Flüssigkeit gefüllte Flaschen, beispiels¬ weise Flaschen mit Kohlensäure angereicherter Limonade, in der Regel aufrecht gelagert und transportiert werden, entweicht Überdruck lediglich in Form des Gases, so daß die Flüssigkeit überhaupt nicht entweicht. Dem Vorteil der Vermeidung von Überdruck steht daher lediglich der völlig vernachlässigbare Nachteil des teilweisen Entweichens von Kohlensäure gegenüber.The invention is based on the basic idea of designing the closure in the form of a pressure relief valve which, of course, can be dimensioned such that no impermissibly high pressures arise. Escaping gas or liquid in the bottle limits the pressure to the maximum permissible level. This means that the bottle cannot burst, which can lead to accidents, in particular in the case of glass bottles, for example damage to eyes due to flying glass fragments. The danger is also great with plastic bottles if there is a dangerous liquid in the bottle. Since bottles filled with liquid, for example bottles of carbonated lemonade, are generally stored and transported upright, excess pressure only escapes in the form of the gas, so that the liquid does not escape at all. The advantage of Avoiding excess pressure is therefore only offset by the completely negligible disadvantage of the partial escape of carbon dioxide.
Nach der Lehre des Anspruchs 2 befindet sich an dem Halteteil ein Anschlag zur definierten Anlage des Halteteils an dem Rand des Flaschenhalses. Da das Dichtteil ebenfalls an dem Rand des Flaschenhalses, in der Regel weiter innen, anliegt, ist dadurch die gegenseitige Lage von Halteteil und Dichtteil genau definiert. Da sich zwischen beiden das elasti sehe Element zur Vorspannung des Dichtteils befindet, ist da¬ mit auch die Größe der Vorspannung des elastischen Elements genau definiert und damit der Druck, bei dem das Dichtteil abhebt, das Überdruckventil also öffnet.According to the teaching of claim 2, there is a stop on the holding part for the defined contact of the holding part on the edge of the bottle neck. Since the sealing part also bears against the edge of the bottle neck, generally further inside, the mutual position of the holding part and the sealing part is thereby precisely defined. Since the elastic element for pretensioning the sealing element is located between the two, the size of the pretensioning of the elastic element is also precisely defined and thus the pressure at which the sealing element lifts off, that is to say opens the pressure relief valve.
Das elastische Element kann durch eine biegsame Stange gebildet sein, die mit ihren Enden an dem Halteteil angreift und im mittleren Bereich zwischen den Enden an der der Dicht¬ seite abgewandten Seite des Dichtteils an diesem anliegt. Die Stange kann aus Metall, insbesondere Stahl bestehen, so daß es so seine elastischen Eigenschaften über lange Zeit beibe- hält und damit auch der Öffnungsdruck des Überdruckventils über lange Zeit genau festgelegt ist.The elastic element can be formed by a flexible rod, which engages with its ends on the holding part and lies in the middle region between the ends on the side of the sealing part facing away from the sealing side. The rod can be made of metal, in particular steel, so that it retains its elastic properties over a long period of time and the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve is therefore precisely defined over a long period.
Das elastische Element kann durch das Dichtteil selbst gebildet sein, indem dieses elastisch, beispielsweise durch dünne Bemessung oder durch entsprechende Materialwahl, aus- gebildet ist. Die elastische Nachgiebigkeit kann auch nur teilweise, beispielsweise im Randbereich, bestehen.The elastic element can be formed by the sealing part itself, in that it is designed to be elastic, for example by thin dimensioning or by appropriate choice of material. The elastic compliance can also only partially exist, for example in the edge area.
Halteteil und Dichtteil können über das elastische Element fest miteinander verbunden sein. Diese Verbindung kann auch lösbar sein, z.B. die Form einerSchnappverbindung haben.Holding part and sealing part can be firmly connected to one another via the elastic element. This connection can also be releasable, e.g. have the form of a snap connection.
Das Dichtteil kann auch die Form einer starren Scheibe haben. In jedem Fall kann das eleastische Element auch flächi ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise in Form einer Schaumstoff- scheibe oder in Form von mehreren, verteilt angeordneten Federlippen oder dergleichen. Insbesondere in den zuletzt genannten Fällen ist es zweckmäßig, an dem Halteteil einen radial nach innen vorspringenden Vorsprung vorzusehen, ins¬ besondere einen umlaufenden Kragen, der das Dichtteil auf der Dichtseite hintergreift und so das Dichtteil weitgehend "unverlierbar im Inneren des kappenfδrmigen Halteteils hält. Auch ist es hierdurch möglich, dem elastischen Element eine Vorspannung zu geben.The sealing part can also have the shape of a rigid disk. In any case, the elastic element can also be flat, for example in the form of a foam disc or in the form of several, distributed spring lips or the like. In the latter cases in particular, it is expedient to have one on the holding part To provide a radially inwardly projecting projection, in particular a circumferential collar which engages behind the sealing part on the sealing side and thus largely "captively holds the inside of the cap-shaped holding part. It is also possible in this way to give the elastic element a pretension.
Alle Teile des Verschlusses können aus Kunststoff oder Metall bestehen, je nach den Anforderungen und der möglichen Wiederverwendbarkeit. Die Verbindung des Halteteils mit dem Flaschenhals kann ebenfalls beliebig sein. Es kann sich um eine reibschlüssige Verbindung handeln, zweckmäßigerweise jedoch um eine formschlüssige Verbindung beliebiger Form, wie sie beispielsweise bei sogenannten Kronenkorken oder Schraubverschlüssen vorkommt. Anhand der Zeichnung soll die Erfindung an Ausführungs¬ beispielen näher erläutert werden.All parts of the closure can be made of plastic or metal, depending on the requirements and the possible reusability. The connection of the holding part with the bottle neck can also be arbitrary. It can be a frictional connection, but expediently a positive connection of any shape, as occurs, for example, in so-called crown caps or screw closures. With the aid of the drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments.

Bei dem in den Fig. 1 und 2 in zwei senkrecht aufein¬ anderstehenden Vertikalschnitten gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein oberer Teil eines Flaschenhalses 1 dargestellt, auf dem ein kappenförmiges Halteteil 2 angeordnet ist, das mit einem radial nach innen gerichteten Kragen 3 einen oberen Wulst 4 am Flaschenhals 1 hintergreift und somit das Halte¬ teil hält. In dieser Lage liegt das Halteteil 2 mit einem -S.¬ In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in two vertical sections perpendicular to one another, an upper part of a bottle neck 1 is shown, on which a cap-shaped holding part 2 is arranged, which has a radially inwardly directed collar 3 on an upper bead 4 Bottleneck 1 engages behind and thus holds the holding part. In this position, the holding part 2 with a -S. ¬
Anschlag 5 auf einem oberen Rand 6 des Flaschenhalses 1 auf, so daß seine Lage genau definiert ist.Stop 5 on an upper edge 6 of the bottle neck 1, so that its position is precisely defined.
Im Bereich des Bodens des kappenförmigen Halteteils 2 befindet sich eine runde Ausnehmung 7, durch die sich dia- etral eine runde Stange 8 erstreckt, die mit dem Halteteil 2 aus einem Stück besteht, mit diesem zusammen also aus Kunst¬ stoff gepreßt ist. Im mittleren Bereich der Stange 8 wird diese formschlüssig von zwei Lippen 9 lösbar umgriffen, die sich an einem Dichtteil 10 befinden, das im wesentlichen eine starre Scheibe bildet, die an ihren Rändern eine kegelige, ringförmige Dichtfläche 11 aufweist, die an dem inneren Teil des Randes 6 des Flaschenhalses 1 dicht anliegt. Gegebenen¬ falls kann diese kegelige Dichtfläche noch mit einem weichen Dichtmaterial beschichtet sein. Die Lage des Anschlages 5, des Dichtteils 10 und der Stange 8 sind so, daß sich die Stange 8 in der dargestellten Schließlage unter einer Vorspannung befindet, die im Zusammen¬ hang mit der Fläche des Dichtteils 10 den Druck bestimmt, bei dem sich das Dichtteil 10 aufgrund des pneumatischen oder hydraulischen Drucks anhebt und einen Überdruck entweichen läßt.In the area of the bottom of the cap-shaped holding part 2 there is a round recess 7, through which a round rod 8 extends diametrically, which consists of the piece with the holding part 2, that is to say it is pressed together from plastic. In the central region of the rod 8, this is positively releasably gripped by two lips 9, which are located on a sealing part 10, which essentially forms a rigid disc, which has a conical, annular sealing surface 11 on its edges, which on the inner part of the Edge 6 of the bottle neck 1 is tight. If necessary, this conical sealing surface can also be coated with a soft sealing material. The position of the stop 5, the sealing part 10 and the rod 8 are such that the rod 8 is in the closed position shown under a pretension which, in conjunction with the surface of the sealing part 10, determines the pressure at which the sealing part is located 10 rises due to the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure and allows an excess pressure to escape.
Bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 hat das Halteteil die Form einer Kronenkappe 12, die sich mit kronenförmigen Einbiegungen 13 an dem Wulst 4 des Flaschen- halses 1 hält und sich dabei mit einem durch eine Eindrückung gebildeten Anschlag 14 an dem oberen Rand 6 des Flaschenhalses 1 abstützt, wodurch ihre Lage in bezug zu dem Flaschenhals genau definiert ist. In dieser Lage ist die Kronenkappe 12 nicht dicht mit dem Flaschenhals 1 verbunden. Zur Abdichtung der Öffnung des Flaschenhalses dient bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein das Dichtteil bildender Teller 15, der zentral über eine Stütze 16 mit einem Boden 17 der Kronenkappe 12 fest verbunden ist. An seinem Rand weist der Teller 15 eine umlaufende Dichtlippe 18 auf, die an dem oberen Rand 6 des Flaschenhalses 1 anliegt. Teller 15 und Dichtlippe 18 sind aus einem elastisch nachgiebigen Mate¬ rial und so dünn bemessen, daß der äußere Rand des Tellers 15 nachgeben und die umlaufende Dichtlippe 18 sich abheben kann, so daß Überdruck entweichen kann. Die Kronenkappe 12 kann in herkömmlicher Weise aus Blech bestehen, während ins¬ besondere der Teller 15 mit der umlaufenden Dichtlippe 18 aus einem Kunststoffmaterial besteht. Es ist aber auch ein anderes Material, beispielsweise Blech, möglich.In the second exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, the holding part has the shape of a crown cap 12, which is held by crown-shaped indentations 13 on the bead 4 of the bottle neck 1 and is thereby held on the upper edge 6 of the bottle by a stop 14 formed by an indentation Bottle neck 1 supports, whereby its position with respect to the bottle neck is precisely defined. In this position, the crown cap 12 is not tightly connected to the bottle neck 1. To seal the opening of the bottle neck, in this exemplary embodiment, a plate 15 forming the sealing part is used, which is firmly connected centrally to a base 17 of the crown cap 12 via a support 16. At its edge, the plate 15 has a circumferential sealing lip 18 which bears against the upper edge 6 of the bottle neck 1. Plate 15 and sealing lip 18 are made of an elastically resilient material and are dimensioned so thin that the outer edge of the plate 15 yield and the circumferential sealing lip 18 can stand out so that excess pressure can escape. The crown cap 12 can consist of sheet metal in a conventional manner, while in particular the plate 15 with the circumferential sealing lip 18 consists of a plastic material. Another material, for example sheet metal, is also possible.
Bei dem dritten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 ist das Dichtteil 2 im Prinzip wie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 ausgebildet, jedoch ist ein Boden 19 des Halte- teils 2 vorgesehen, ähnlich wie der Boden 17 bei dem Ausfüh¬ rungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3. Um ein sicheres Entweichen von Überdruck durch das Halteteil 2 hindurch sicherzustellen, ist ein Loch 20 in dem Boden 19 vorgesehen.In the third exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, the sealing part 2 is in principle designed in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, but a bottom 19 of the holding part 2 is provided, similar to the bottom 17 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 In order to ensure a safe escape of excess pressure through the holding part 2, a hole 20 is provided in the bottom 19.
An dem Boden 16 befindet sich eine Stütze 21, die über eine kugelige SchnappVerbindung 22 mit einem Teller 23 ver¬ bunden ist, der dem Teller 15 in Fig. 3 entspricht und aus enem nachgiebigen Material besteht, so daß sich insbesondere die Ränder des Tellers 23 bei Überdruck von dem Rand 6 des Flaschenhalses 1 abheben können. Es ist bei dieser Ausführungs- form auch möglich, den Boden 19 sehr dünn und elastisch nach¬ giebig auszubilden, so daß dieser das Federelement bildet, in welchem Falle der Teller 23 starr sein kann. Gegebenenfalls können Boden 19 und Teller 23 in gewünschter Weise elastisch nachgiebig sein. Bei dem vierten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 5 ist das Halteteil 2 im wesentlichen wie bei dem Ausführungsbei- spiel gemäß Fig. 4 ausgebildet, jedoch ist ein starres, schei¬ benförmiges Dichtteil 24 vorgesehen, das durch elastische Federlippen 25 an dem Boden 19 federnd abestützt ist. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel erstreckt sich von dem Anschlag 5 aus nach innen ein umlaufender Kragen 26, der den äußeren Rand des Dichtteils 24 hintergreift, so daß das Dichtteil 24 unver¬ lierbar mit Halteteil 2 verbunden ist.At the bottom 16 there is a support 21 which is connected via a spherical snap connection 22 to a plate 23 which corresponds to the plate 15 in FIG. 3 and consists of a flexible material, so that in particular the edges of the plate 23 can lift off at the overpressure from the edge 6 of the bottle neck 1. In this embodiment it is also possible to make the base 19 very thin and resilient, so that it forms the spring element, in which case the plate 23 can be rigid. Optionally, the bottom 19 and plate 23 can be elastically flexible in the desired manner. In the fourth exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5, the holding part 2 is designed essentially as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, but a rigid, disk-shaped sealing part 24 is provided, which is resiliently supported on the base 19 by elastic spring lips 25 . In this embodiment, a circumferential collar 26 extends inward from the stop 5 and engages behind the outer edge of the sealing part 24, so that the sealing part 24 is connected to the holding part 2 in an inseparable manner.
Das fünfte Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 6 entspricht weitgehend dem gemäß Fig. 5 mit dem Unterschied, daß statt der Dichtlippen 25 in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Boden 19 und dem Dichtteil 24 . ' ein Federstab 27 in Form einer vorgekrümmten Blattfeder angeordnet ist. Durch Dimensionierung und Krümmung des Federstabes 27 ist die Feder¬ kraft definiert, die den Überdruck bestimmt, bei dem sich das Dichtteil 24 anhebt, um Überdruck entweichen zu lassen. Das sechste Ausführungsbeispiel in Fig. 7 entspricht weitgehend dem gemäß Fig. 3. Ein Unterschied besteht darin, daß statt des nachgiebigen Tellers 15 ein im wesentlichen starres Dichtteil 28 vorgesehen ist, das sich über ein elastis nachgiebiges Schaumstoffteil 29 an dem Boden 17 der Kronenkapp 12 abstützt. Das Schaumstoffteil 29 kann einfach mit den benac barten Flächenteilen verklebt sein, so daß das Dichtteil 28 fest und unverlierbar mit dem Boden 17 und damit mit der Kro¬ nenkappe 12 verbunden ist. The fifth exemplary embodiment in FIG. 6 largely corresponds to that according to FIG. 5 with the difference that instead of the sealing lips 25 in the space between the bottom 19 and the sealing part 24. ' a spring bar 27 is arranged in the form of a pre-curved leaf spring. The dimensioning and curvature of the spring rod 27 define the spring force which determines the excess pressure at which the sealing part 24 rises in order to allow excess pressure to escape. The sixth exemplary embodiment in FIG. 7 largely corresponds to that according to FIG. 3. A difference is that instead of the flexible plate 15, an essentially rigid sealing part 28 is provided, which is located on the bottom 17 of the crown cap 12 via an elastically flexible foam part 29 supports. The foam part 29 can simply be glued to the benac beard surface parts, so that the sealing part 28 is firmly and captively connected to the bottom 17 and thus to the crown cap 12.
