  • the closure plug is formed on a rotatably arranged relative to the cap base support plate, which latter is rotatably mounted disc-like manner about a central axis of rotation of the closure cap.
  • the sealing plug and the associated mouth opening can be arranged centrally.
  • the invention proves to be particularly advantageous in an embodiment in which the closure plug and the mouth opening are arranged eccentrically relative to a central axis of rotation of the closure cap. Because of the pivotable arrangement of the sealing plug according to the invention, therefore, a mouth opening of the bottle container arranged eccentrically to the central axis of rotation of the closure cap can be reliably closed by the cap-side sealing stopper. According to the embodiment of the invention, an accurate closure of a multi-component bottle container can be achieved with a corresponding plurality of mouth openings, wherein one or more eccentrically arranged mouth openings can also be associated with a central mouth opening. It is further proposed that two opposite sealing plugs are arranged on the mounting plate with rotational alignment parts lying in between in the direction of rotation.
  • the stopper and, accordingly, the mouth openings are arranged diametrically opposite one another.
  • Each stopper can be assigned to a mouth opening of the bottle container.
  • the arranged between the plug rotation alignment part is used for self-alignment of the support plate and here the closure plug in the course of placing the cap on the bottle container.
  • the preferred disc-like support plate may be held on the edge of the cap bottom. It is also conceivable that the support plate is seated on a molded on the cap base, preferably centrally arranged locking pin, which locking pin at the same time forms the rotary body axis for the support plate.
  • the cap according to the invention can be designed in the simplest way as a bounce cap with self-adjusting stopper.
  • the closure cap is a screw cap.
  • a bearing orientation of the sealing plugs to the mouth openings takes place via the rotary alignment parts.
  • the invention further relates to a combination of a receptacle and a preferably produced by plastic injection molding cap according to the features of the preamble of claim 8.
  • a combination of closure cap and Aufnabme electnis in particular with regard to the closure of the mouth opening functionally reliable
  • the subject matter of claim 8 is proposed ,
  • the mouth opening need not necessarily be centered but rather may be arranged eccentrically to a container ceiling center axis.
  • an automatic alignment of the cap-side sealing plug is achieved to the mouth opening in the course of placement of the cap.
  • the closure cap is mounted on the dispensing container via a screw cap and that the screw cap does not (yet) engage when the rotation alignment part collides with the mouth opening.
  • a gripping of the screw is only at targeted alignment of the sealing plug to the mouth opening reached.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 show the combination according to the invention of a closure cap 1 produced in a plastic injection process and a receptacle or bottle container 2.
  • the receptacle 2 is designed as a two-component container and has an attached to the container neck 3, for example. Bounced dispensing head 4 with two output chambers 6 and 7, which are in clear association with the component areas of the container 2.
  • the dispensing head 4 has a container cover 8 which is supported on the neck 3 of the container 2.
  • the latter is shaped in the shape of a disk and extends transversely to a center axis of the dispensing head 4 that is circular in plan view.
  • the discharge chambers 9 and 10 forming elevations 9, which taper from the container ceiling 8, starting at cross-sectionally tapering to their free ends.
  • the elevations 9 are provided with one, an output chamber 6 and 7 associated with the mouth opening 10 for the stored medium.
  • the latter are arranged in a plan view eccentrically to the dispensing head center axis diametrically opposite.
  • these mouth openings 10 are as shown in the plan view in FIG Fig. 8 to recognize, formed in the adjacent circular edge portions of the survey ceilings, this, leaving a, defined by the elevations 9 connecting web 11 distance.
  • the mouth openings 10 are surrounded by eccentric to the opening axis aligned annular walls 12, which ring walls 12 in cooperation with the cap 1- as explained in more detail below - take over a sealing function.
  • the dispensing head and in particular the area having the mouth openings 10, is likewise preferably made of plastic.
  • the cap 1 has in a known manner a cup-like shape with a circular ground plan, wherein a circumferential cap wall 15 coat inside a cooperating with the external thread 14 of the dispensing head 4 internal thread 16 carries.
  • the cap base 17 carries inside, d. H. facing the dispensing head 4 is a disk-shaped support plate 18 on which the sealing plugs 19 are arranged for sealingly closing the mouth openings 10 of the dispensing head 4.
  • This support plate 18 is formed substantially circular disk-shaped and in a plane parallel to the cap base 17 pivotally or rotatably supported about the central axis of rotation x of the cap 1.
  • Support plate 18 shown in a first embodiment is circumferentially overlapped on the edge side by a cap-side locking bead 20, which ensures on the one hand the captive mounting of the support plate 18 on the cap 1 and on the other hand, the free rotation of the support plate 18 on the underside of the cap bottom 17.
  • the two sealing plugs 19 are arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation x diametrically opposite, this with a distance from each other, which corresponds to the distance between the two mouth openings 10 of the dispensing head 4 to each other.
  • each sealing plug 19 is adapted to the inner diameter of the annular walls 12 of the mouth openings 10.
  • rotational alignment parts 21 are formed on the underside of the support plate 18 on the underside of the two opposing sealing plugs.
  • the latter are formed as Kreisabitesswandungen, which are arranged on a circular arc, which is the sealing stopper 19 aligned coaxially with the axis of rotation x. (See in particular the illustration in Fig. 8 ).
  • the screw cap designed as a cap 1 is placed to close the container 2 in a conventional manner by screwing the cap 1 on the dispensing head 4, wherein on the rotational alignment parts 21, an alignment of the sealing plug 19 to the mouth openings 10 takes place, this under relative rotational movement of Support plate 18 to the cap 1. If during the first placement of the cap 1 on the dispensing head 4, the rotational alignment parts 21 collide with the mouth openings 10, no gripping of the screw cap is possible due to the selected height arrangement of output head side external thread 14 and cap chandelieren internal thread 16, as can not be lowered far enough to the screw engagement by the resting on the mouth openings 10 and on the surrounding annular walls 12 rotational alignment parts 21.
  • the support plate 18 is adjusted such that the sealing plug 19 are positioned exactly above the mouth openings 10.
  • the edge walls of the openings 10 carrying the mouths elevations 9 support the Disjustage bin in that the rotational alignment parts 21 are exactly displaced in the formed between the elevations 9 gussets 22 by rotation of the support plate 18.
  • the discovered occlusion situation is in the representation in Fig. 8 shown in phantom.
  • the cap 1 Only after exact superposition of mouth openings 10 and stopper 19, the cap 1 is lowered so far that an intervention of external and internal thread for fixing the cap 1 can be achieved, in the course of Aufschraubvorgangs the sealing plug 19 for sealing closure of the mouth openings 10 in the space delimited by the ring walls 12 by linear displacement parallel to the cap axis x dive.
  • the Fig. 9 to 11 show a second embodiment of the closure cap 1.
  • the support plate 18 is reduced in diameter relative to the first embodiment, has approximately half a diameter in contrast.
  • an inwardly facing locking pin 23 is formed on the cap base 17. This is preferably integrally formed integrally with the cap base 17 of material and has for rotatable fixing of the support plate 18 a, a central opening 24 of the support plate 18 overlapping ring collar 25.
  • the opening 24 is positioned centrally between the two sealing plugs 19 as a result of the arrangement selected.
  • the arrangement, orientation, and size ratios of sealing plugs 19 and rotary alignment members 21 are the same as those of the first embodiment.
