Um eine absolute Dichtigkeit und Öffnungssicherheit zu gewährleisten, ist die Gießöffnung 3 des Ausgießelementes 1 durch eine mit dem Verschlusstubus 8 des Deckels 6 und dem Grundkörper 4 verbundene Folie in Form einer sogenannten "Peel-Beschichtung" (nicht gezeigt) flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossen, die beim erstmaligen Öffnen des Deckels 6 aufreißt. Die Peel-Beschichtung ist so beschaffen, dass sie beim erstmaligem Öffnen des Deckels 6 nur entlang des Randes der Gießöffnung aufreißt und im Bereich des Grundkörpers 4 und des Verschlusstubus 8 keine Beschädigung auftritt. Somit ist ein einwandfreier Wiederverschluss möglich. Durch die flüssigkeitsdichte Applikation des Ausgießelements 1 an der Innenseite der Packung 18 ergibt sich ein Schutz der Schnittkante der Öffnung 21 vor Eindringen von Flüssigkeit in die Kartonschicht. Eine zusätzliche, mit Kosten verbundene Versiegelung der Schnittkante ist nicht erforderlich.To ensure an absolute tightness and opening security ensure is the pouring opening 3 of the pouring element 1 by one with the closure tube 8 of the lid 6 and the main body 4 connected film in the form of a so-called "peel coating" (not shown) liquid-tight, the first time Opening the lid 6 ruptures. The peel coating is in such a way that when you first open the Cover 6 tears only along the edge of the pouring opening and in the region of the base body 4 and the closure tube 8 no damage occurs. Thus, one is perfect reclosure possible. By the liquid-tight application of the pouring element 1 at the inside of the pack 18 results in a protection of Cutting edge of the opening 21 from ingress of Liquid in the cardboard layer. An additional, with Cost related sealing of the cut edge is not required.

In Fig. 5 ist eine fertig hergestellte Packung 18 mit einem innenseitig applizierten Ausgießelement 1 dargestellt, dessen Gießöffnung durch den Deckel 6 verschlossen ist. Die Gießlippe 5 steht über die Seitenkante der Packung 18 vor. Ferner steht die Gießlippe 5 bei verschlossenem Deckel 6 auch unter der Handhabungsfläche 7 vor. Die Handhabungsfläche 7 ist gegenüber dem den Verschlusstubus 8 aufweisenden Deckelabschnitt durch einen Abschnitt definiert, der zwei im wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufende Filmscharniere 22, 23 aufweist (vgl. Fig. 2). Das Ende der Handhabungsfläche 7 steht in der Verschlussstellung des Deckels 6 über die Seitenkante der Packung 18 etwas vor, so dass die Handhabungsfläche 7 nach Herunterbiegen der Gießlippe 5 gut ergriffen werden kann. Die Abstände zwischen den Filmscharniere 10 bis 13, 22, 23 sind so bemessen, dass der Deckel 6 in seiner Verschlussstellung die Faltkante 12 der Gießlippe 5 geringfügig untergreift und somit an der Gießlippe 5 arretierbar ist. In Fig. 5 is a finished manufactured package 18 with a pouring element 1 applied on the inside shown, the pouring opening through the lid. 6 is closed. The pouring lip 5 is above the Side edge of the pack 18 before. Furthermore, the stands Gießlippe 5 with the lid closed 6 also under the Handling surface 7 before. The handling surface 7 is opposite to the closure tube 8 having Cover section defined by a section of two essentially parallel to each other Film hinges 22, 23 has (see Fig. 2). The end the handling surface 7 is in the closed position the lid 6 over the side edge of the pack 18 something before, so that the handling surface 7 after bending down the pouring lip 5 can be taken well. The distances between the film hinges 10 to 13, 22, 23 are so dimensioned that the lid 6 in its closed position the folding edge 12 of the pouring lip 5 slightly engages under and thus on the pouring lip 5 can be locked.
