  • said closure means 4 are in the form of washers.
  • the dimensions of the sealing washer are determined firstly to be sufficient to allow easy positioning of the piercing means 2 and secondly relatively small so as to require a minimum of material whose cost is high.
  • said sealing washer 5 is made from a single material.
  • the washer consists of a ring 15 circumscribing a disk 14 in such a way that the ring 15 constitutes a strapping or even crimping of the disk 14.
  • Said ring 15 has a lower coefficient of elongation and rigidity greater than that of the disc 14.
  • the ring 15 has substantially an internal diameter of 20 mm and an outside diameter of 24 mm, whereas the diameter of the disc 14 is substantially 20 mm, the washer then has a diameter of 24 mm noticeably.

  • said washer 5 is obtained by introducing a cylinder of the material constituting the disk 14 into a tube of the material constituting the ring 15 and by cutting thickness slices, preferably comprised of between 4 and 10 mm.
  • the tube is placed under pressure so as to increase its internal diameter.
  • the thickness of the washer should be proportional to its diameter and advantageously, the coefficient of proportionality is close to 3, and in the case of a washer whose diameter is between 12 and 24 mm, the thickness of said washer will be included, preferably between 4 and 8 mm.
  • said opening / closing device 1 allows access to the contents of said sealed package 3 to allow injection and / or suction of liquid or semi-liquid in and / or out of the package or possibly to obtain data on the inner environment of the packaging 3.
  • said opening / closing device 1 provides at the level of said piercing means 2, injection and / or suction means 6.
  • injection and / or suction means 6 To obtain the data at the level of said piercing means 2 at least one sensor 7 is also provided.
  • Said injection and / or suction means 6 consist of a pump 8 connected to, on the one hand, one or more tanks intended either for contain liquids or semi-liquids to be injected into said package 3, intended to collect liquids or semi-liquids sucked out of said package 3 and, on the other hand, a conduit 9 disposed at said piercing means 2 so as to allow the injection and / or suction of liquids or semi-liquids in and / or out of the package by preventing any contact between the inner environment of the package 3 and the environment.
  • said sensor 7 for obtaining data on the inner environment of the package is disposed at said piercing means 2 so as to prevent any contact between the inner environment of the package and the ambient environment, especially when of obtaining the data.
