  • the sealing device it is also possible for the sealing device to have a circumferential sealing surface assigned to an inner contact surface of the cylindrical housing and a sealing surface running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing. It is thereby achieved that the sealing device achieves a gas-tight seal of the open front end both with respect to the circumferential jacket or the inner surface of the cylindrical housing and also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing.
  • annular circumferential and the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing sealing surface are arranged on different sealing elements of the sealing device, whereby the prerequisite is created that by the displacement of the sealing surfaces upon release of the seal between the inner The surface and the circumferential sealing surface prevent the contents from splashing out of the cylindrical housing by means of the sealing surface running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing.

This makes it possible to detach the cap from the cylindrical housing by a combined longitudinal and rotary movement in the manner of a helix.
  • the relatively high adhesion existing after a longer transport can be fixed by the non-rotatable connection between the cap or the sealing device in the cylindrical housing by rotating the sealing device relative to the cylindrical housing and thereby removing the cap with less effort in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing.
  • the coupling device is also possible for the coupling device to be formed by coupling arms protruding over the end wall of the cap in the direction of the open end end thereof and coupling openings arranged in the sealing device.
  • This solution has the advantage that the cap usually consists of mechanically more resistant or resilient plastic, so that in this embodiment higher torsional and tensile forces can be safely transmitted to the sealing device.
  • the lower resilience of the mostly elastic sealing device under tension or pressure can be compensated for in that the transmission surfaces between the driver and the sealing device are produced with a correspondingly larger cross section.

  • a difference between the minimum inside diameter of the cap shell and a maximum outside diameter of the circumferential sealing surface is smaller than the wall thickness of the cylindrical housing, so that the contact pressure of the sealing surfaces is achieved by means of the predetermined difference. can be easily fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical housing. However, the desired gas and liquid tightness can also be ensured by this system pressure.

  • locking projections are arranged on the cap or the tubular extension and / or the sealing device in the area of contact between the cap and the sealing device.
  • the locking projections in a simple manner provide a non-positive movement connection between them of the sealing device and the cap, so that even if these are only plugged together, entrainment of the sealing device is achieved when the cap moves both in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing and in the circumferential direction.

Due to the elastic adjustability of the locking projections designed in the manner of pawls, it is also surprisingly easy to use sealing devices which, for example, consist of composite materials with a highly elastic core and a resistant, ring-shaped coating. However, it is also advantageous if the finger-like extensions are integrally formed on the cap, as a result of which no additional parts are required for holding the sealing device in the cap.
