Abstract

Der selbsttätige Verschluß für elastisch verformbare, tubenartige oder flaschenartige Behälter von pastenartigen oder flüssigen Medien ist hat eine Ausgabeöffnung (5), die in einer Stirnwand (3) eines Haubendeckels angeordnet und durch ein axial bewegliches Schließorgan (8) verschließbar ist. Das Schließorgan (8) ist Bestandteil einer elastischen Membranwand (9) eines elastischen haubenartigen Hohlkörpers (10). Dieser umschließt eine Ringwand (12) einer durch einen Boden (13) abgeschlossenen Kammer (15), die vom Medium durchströmt und mit einem Belüftungskanal versehen ist. Um auf einfache Weise eine ausreichende Saugbelüftung des Behälters zu ermöglichen, ist die innere Ringwand von einer zweiten Ringwand umgeben, die mit der inneren Ringwand (12) eine Ringnut (17) bildet. Die Ringnut (17) weist wenigstens eine axiale Belüftungsöffnung (30, 31) auf, welche den Belüftungskanal (28, 29) mit dem von der zweiten Ringwand (16) umschlossenen Hohlraum (27) verbindet. Der zylindrische Wandabschnitt (11) des Hohlkörpers (10) ist mit einer elastischen Lippe (32, 33, 34, 35) versehen, welche die Belüftungsöffnung (30, 31) mit der Funktion eines Einwegventils vom Hohlraum (27) trennt.

Figure 00000001
The automatic closure for elastically deformable, tube-like or bottle-like containers of paste-like or liquid media has a dispensing opening (5) which is arranged in an end wall (3) of a hood cover and by an axially movable closing member (8) can be closed. The closing member (8) is part of an elastic membrane wall (9) of an elastic hood-like hollow body (10). This encloses an annular wall (12) of a closed by a bottom (13) chamber (15), which flows through the medium and is provided with a ventilation duct. In order to allow a sufficient suction ventilation of the container in a simple manner, the inner annular wall is surrounded by a second annular wall which forms an annular groove (17) with the inner annular wall (12). The annular groove (17) has at least one axial ventilation opening (30, 31) which connects the ventilation channel (28, 29) with the cavity (27) enclosed by the second annular wall (16). The cylindrical wall portion (11) of the hollow body (10) is provided with an elastic lip (32, 33, 34, 35) which separates the ventilation opening (30, 31) with the function of a one-way valve from the cavity (27).
