Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verriegelungshülse zur Befestigung einer Verschlussvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Verschlussvorrichtung zum Verschluss einer Behälteröffnung, umfassend einen Verschlussstopfen aus Kunststoff und eine derartige Verriegelungshülse.The present invention relates to a locking sleeve for fastening a closure device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a closure device for closing a container opening, comprising a sealing plug made of plastic and such a locking sleeve.

Verschlussvorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art können grundsätzlich überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo es darum geht, einen Verschlussstopfen aus Kunststoff in seiner Relativpositionierung gegenüber einem den Verschlussstopfen aufnehmenden Teil zu sichern. Je nach Ausbildung des Verschlussstopfens ergeben sich dabei besondere Einsatzbereiche. Beispielsweise kann der Verschlussstopfen zum Verschluss einer Flasche verwendet werden, wobei die Verriegelungshülse zur Sicherung der Verschlussstopfenposition in der Flaschenöffnung dient.Closure devices of the type mentioned above can basically be used wherever it comes to securing a sealing plug made of plastic in its relative positioning with respect to a sealing plug receiving part. Depending on the design of the sealing plug, this results in special applications. For example, the closure plug may be used to close a bottle, the locking sleeve serving to secure the plug position in the bottle opening.

Ein besonderer Einsatzbereich für die Verschlusseinrichtung ergibt sich beim Verschluss von Parfümflakons, wobei der Verschlussstopfen regelmäßig als Zerstäubereinrichtung ausgebildet ist, die in der Flaschenöffnung angeordnet ist.A special field of use for the closure device results in the closure of perfume bottles, the stopper regularly is designed as an atomizer, which is arranged in the bottle opening.

Aus der US 6,253,941 B1 ist eine derartig eingesetzte Verschlusseinrichtung bekannt, mit einem als Zerstäubereinrichtung ausgebildeten Verschlussstopfen, der als Bestandteil der Zerstäubereinrichtung einen Flanschteil aufweist zur Anordnung am stirnseitigen Ende der Flaschenöffnung. Der Verschlussstopfen weist in seinem den oberen Flaschenrand umgebenden Befestigungsbereich einen Rastflansch auf, der den Flaschenrand umschließt und so die Position des Verschlussstopfens beziehungsweise der Zerstäubereinrichtung in der Flaschenöffnung definiert. Zur Verriegelung des Verschlussstopfens in der vorgenannten Position ist koaxial auf dem Verschlussstopfen eine Verriegelungshülse angeordnet, die bei in der Flaschenöffnung positioniertem Verschlussstopfen gegenüber diesem axial verschiebbar ist bis zu einer Anlage eines Anschlagbunds der Verriegelungshülse an einer Anschlagfläche der Zerstäubereinrichtung. In ihrer Verriegelungsposition befindet sich die Verriegelungshülse mit einer auf ihrer inneren Mantelfläche angeordneten, ringförmige Prägerillen aufweisenden Rückhalteeinrichtung im Eingriff mit der äußeren Mantelfläche des Rastflansches des Verschlussstopfens beziehungsweise der Zerstäubereinrichtung. In dieser Position ist der Rasteingriff des Rastflansches gesichert. Durch den Eingriff zwischen der Rückhalteeinrichtung auf der Innenfläche der metallenen Verriegelungshülse mit dem Kunststoffmaterial des Verschlussstopfens beziehungsweise des Rastflansches ist auch sicher gestellt, dass ein Abziehen der Verriegelungshülse vom Flaschenhals nur mit einer Kraft erfolgen könnte, die beim Gebrauch des Parfümflakons, also beispielsweise beim Abziehen einer auf die Verriegelungshülse aufgeschobenen Verschlusskappe, nicht auftritt. Somit ist auch wirksam verhindert, dass mit einem Abziehen der Verschlusskappe ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Verriegelungshülse aus dem Eingriff mit dem Verschlussstopfen beziehungsweise der Zerstäubereinrichtung erfolgen kann, was die Funktion des Parfümflakons beziehungsweise der Zerstäubereinrichtung gefährden könnte.From the US 6,253,941 B1 Such a closure device used is known, with a sealing plug designed as an atomizer, which has a flange part as part of the atomizer for arrangement at the front end of the bottle opening. In its fastening region surrounding the upper edge of the bottle, the sealing stopper has a locking flange which encloses the edge of the bottle and thus defines the position of the sealing stopper or of the atomizing device in the bottle opening. To lock the sealing plug in the aforementioned position, a locking sleeve is arranged coaxially on the sealing plug, which is axially displaceable with respect to the stopper in the bottle opening up to an abutment of a stop collar of the locking sleeve on a stop surface of the atomizer. In its locking position, the locking sleeve is arranged with an arranged on its inner circumferential surface, annular embossing grooves retaining means in engagement with the outer surface of the locking flange of the sealing plug or the atomizer. In this position, the locking engagement of the locking flange is secured. Through the engagement between the retainer on the inner surface of the metal locking sleeve with the plastic material of the sealing plug or the locking flange is also ensured that a withdrawal of the locking sleeve from the bottleneck could be done only with a force when using the perfume bottle, so for example when removing a on the locking sleeve deferred cap, does not occur. Thus, it is also effectively prevented that an unintentional release of the locking sleeve out of engagement with the closure plug or the atomizer can be done with a removal of the cap, which is the function could endanger the perfume bottle or atomizer.

Bei der bekannten Verschlusseinrichtung ist die Rückhalteeinrichtung auf der Innenseite der Verriegelungshülse durch ringförmige Vertiefungen in der Innenwandung der Verriegelungshülse gebildet. Aufgrund der ringförmig ausgebildeten Rückhalteeinrichtung ergibt sich zwar eine wirksame Rückhaltewirkung gegen ein die Verriegelungshülse vom Verschlussstopfen trennende Abzugskraft. Jedoch ist ohne Weiteres eine Rotation der Verriegelungshülse auf dem Verschlussstopfen beziehungsweise dem Rastflansch möglich, so dass beim Benutzer des Parfümflakons der Eindruck entstehen könnte, dass die Zerstäubereinrichtung unzureichend am Flakon gesichert ist. Hierdurch wird die Wertigkeit des Produkts, also des Parfümflakons, in den Augen des Benutzers reduziert. Darüber hinaus ist grundsätzlich eine Verwendung der bekannten Verschlusseinrichtung, bestehend aus Verschlussstopfen aus Kunststoff und Verriegelungshülse aus Metall, in den Fällen nicht möglich, in denen auch eine relative Drehpositionierung der Teile gegeneinander sichergestellt werden soll.In the known closure device, the retaining device is formed on the inside of the locking sleeve by annular recesses in the inner wall of the locking sleeve. Due to the ring-shaped retention device, although an effective retention effect against a withdrawal force separating the locking sleeve from the closure plug results. However, a rotation of the locking sleeve on the closure plug or the locking flange is readily possible, so that the user of the perfume bottle could give the impression that the atomizer is insufficiently secured to the bottle. This reduces the value of the product, ie the perfume bottle, in the eyes of the user. In addition, in principle, a use of the known closure device, consisting of sealing plugs made of plastic and locking sleeve made of metal, in the cases not possible in which a relative rotational positioning of the parts is to be ensured against each other.

US 2002/12 52 70 beschreibt die bekannten Merkmale der Hauptansprüche. US 2002/12 52 70 describes the known features of the main claims.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verschlusseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, die einerseits bei Verwendung der Verschlusseinrichtung an einem Parfümflakon oder an einem ähnlichen Luxusartikel den Eindruck der Wertigkeit beim Verbraucher erhöht. Darüber hinaus soll eine Verschlusseinrichtung vorgeschlagen werden, die neben dem Vorgenannten, weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere allgemein im Bereich der Befestigungstechnik, ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a closure device of the type mentioned, on the one hand increases the impression of valency in the consumer when using the closure device on a perfume bottle or on a similar luxury item. In addition, a closure device is to be proposed, which, in addition to the above, allows further applications, in particular generally in the field of fastening technology.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die erfindungsgemäße Verriegelungshülse die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 oder 3 und die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussvorrichtung die Merkmale des Anspruchs 6 auf.To achieve this object, the locking sleeve according to the invention has the features of claim 1 or 3 and the closure device according to the invention the features of claim 6.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verriegelungshülse weist einen Hülsenkörper auf, der zumindest an seinem unteren Endbereich mit einem Stülpkragen versehen ist, wobei der Stülpkragen zur einhüllenden Abdeckung einer äußeren Mantelfläche der Verschlusseinrichtung eine innere Mantelfläche aufweist, die zumindest in einem Überdeckungsbereich mit der äußeren Mantelfläche mit einer Rückhalteeinrichtung versehen ist. Die Rückhalteeinrichtungen weisen eine Mehrzahl von Rückhalteeinheiten auf, die über den Umfang der inneren Mantelfläche radial verteilt angeordnete sind.The locking sleeve according to the invention has a sleeve body, which is provided at least at its lower end with a Stülpkragen, the Stülpkragen for enveloping cover an outer surface of the closure device has an inner circumferential surface which is provided at least in a covering area with the outer surface with a retaining device , The retaining devices have a plurality of retaining units, which are arranged radially distributed over the circumference of the inner circumferential surface.

Aufgrund der radial verteilten Anordnung der Rückhalteeinheiten ergeben sich radial einander abwechselnde Bereiche auf der Hülseninnenfläche, die einen Eingriff mit dem Kunststoffmaterial des Verschlussstopfens ermöglichen und Bereiche, die keinen Eingriff ermöglichen. Somit ergeben sich in radialer Richtung entsprechend alternierende Reibungsverhältnisse, so dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusseinrichtung durch den Eingriff ein Widerstand gegen eine Relativverdrehung der Verriegelungshülse gegenüber dem Verschlussstopfen erzielt wird.Due to the radially distributed arrangement of the retaining units resulting radially alternate areas on the sleeve inner surface, which allow engagement with the plastic material of the sealing plug and areas that do not allow engagement. Accordingly, correspondingly alternating friction conditions result in the radial direction, so that in the case of the closure device according to the invention a resistance to a relative rotation of the locking sleeve relative to the closure stopper is achieved by the engagement.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Verriegelungshülse sind die Rückhalteeinheiten in axialer Richtung hintereinander angeordnet und weisen sich über einen Teilumfang der Mantelfläche erstreckende, linienförmige Vertiefungen auf. Diese sich in Umfangsrichtung erstreckenden Vertiefungen beziehungsweise Rillen sorgen bei einer zwischen einer äußeren Mantelfläche eines die Behälteröffnung außen umgebenden Flanschteils des Verschlussstopfens und der Hülseninnenfläche ausgebildeten Presspassung aufgrund des Kriechvermögens des Kunststoffmaterials des Verschlussstopfens für einen Eingriff des Kunststoffmaterials in die Vertiefungen, so dass sowohl ein Formwiderstand gegen ein Abziehen der Verriegelungshülse vom Verschlussstopfen, als auch ein radialer Drehwiderstand realisiert wird, der eine Relativverdrehung der Verriegelungshülse gegenüber dem Verschlussstopfen verhindert.In an advantageous embodiment of the locking sleeve, the retaining units are arranged in the axial direction one behind the other and have over a partial circumference of the lateral surface extending, linear depressions. Due to the creeping capacity of the plastic material of the sealing plug, these recesses or grooves extending in the circumferential direction ensure engagement of the plastic material in the recesses in an outer peripheral surface of a flange part of the sealing plug and the sleeve inner surface surrounding the container opening, so that both a form resistance against a removal of the locking sleeve from the sealing plug, as well as a radial rotational resistance is realized, which prevents a relative rotation of the locking sleeve relative to the sealing plug.

Wenn darüber hinaus die Rückhalteeinheiten jeweils parallel zueinander verlaufende Vertiefungen aufweisen, die äquidistant über den Umfang der Mantelfläche verteilt sind, ist es besonders einfach möglich, die auf der inneren Mantelfläche der Verriegelungshülse ausgebildeten Rückhalteeinheiten durch ein Rollwerkzeug herzustellen, das bei entsprechender Profilierung auf der inneren Mantelfläche der Verriegelungshülse die gewünschten Vertiefungen erzeugt.Moreover, if the retaining units each have mutually parallel recesses which are distributed equidistantly over the circumference of the lateral surface, it is particularly easy to produce the formed on the inner circumferential surface of the locking sleeve retaining units by a rolling tool, which with appropriate profiling on the inner circumferential surface the locking sleeve produces the desired depressions.

Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Verriegelungshülse sind die Rückhalteeinheiten als axial auf der Mantelfläche verlaufende Stege ausgebildet, die sich über einen Teilbereich des Überdeckungsbereichs erstrecken. Zum einen wirken auch diese Stege als radiale Drehsicherung durch den Eingriff der Stege in das Kunststoffmaterial des Verschlussstopfens. Zum anderen wird durch die gegenüber dem Überdeckungsbereich reduzierte Länge der Stege auch ein Formwiderstand in Richtung einer axial wirkenden Abzugskraft geschaffen.In an alternative embodiment of the locking sleeve, the retaining units are designed as webs extending axially on the lateral surface and extending over a partial region of the overlapping region. On the one hand, these webs act as radial anti-rotation by the engagement of the webs in the plastic material of the sealing plug. On the other hand, a shape resistance in the direction of an axially acting pull-off force is created by the length of the webs, which is reduced compared to the overlapping area.

Wenn die Rückhalteeinheiten durch Stege gebildet sind, die jeweils zumindest zwei axial hintereinander liegend angeordnete, durch eine Vertiefung voneinander getrennte Stegeinheiten umfassen, können sich die Stege auch über den Überdeckungsbereich hinaus erstrecken, da der einer axialen Abzugskraft entgegenwirkende Formwiderstand in diesem Fall durch die jeweils zwei Stegeinheiten voneinander trennenden Vertiefungen geschaffen wird.If the retaining units are formed by webs which each comprise at least two web units arranged axially one behind the other, separated by a recess, the webs can also extend beyond the overlap area, since the form resistance counteracting an axial peel force in this case by the two Stegeinheiten of mutually separating recesses is created.

Bei einer Ausbildung der Verriegelungshülse mit Stegen, die parallel zueinander verlaufen und äquidistant über den Umfang der Mantelfläche verteilt sind, ist zum einen die Herstellung der Verriegelungshülse mit einem regelmäßig ausgebildeten Werkzeug möglich, zum anderen ermöglicht die radial äquidistante Verteilung der Stege gleichzeitig einen zentrierenden Effekt, der das Zusammenfügen von der Verriegelungshülse und dem Verschlussstopfen erleichtert.In an embodiment of the locking sleeve with webs which are parallel to each other and are distributed equidistantly over the circumference of the lateral surface, on the one hand the production of the locking sleeve with a regularly trained tool is possible, on the other hand allows the radially equidistant distribution of the webs simultaneously a centering effect, which facilitates the assembly of the locking sleeve and the sealing plug.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Verriegelungshülse sind die Rückhalteeinheiten durch Vertiefungen gebildet, die in einem durch Falzung am unteren Rand des Hülsenkörpers ausgebildeten inneren Kragen ausgebildet sind.In a further embodiment of the locking sleeve, the retaining units are formed by depressions, which are formed in a formed by folding at the bottom of the sleeve body inner collar.

Eine besonders einfache Herstellung einer derartigen Verriegelungshülse wird möglich, wenn der Hülsenkörper zur Ausbildung der Falzung am unteren Rand einen Randstreifen mit verringerter Wandstärke aufweist.A particularly simple production of such a locking sleeve is possible when the sleeve body to form the fold at the lower edge has an edge strip with reduced wall thickness.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussvorrichtung zum Verschluss einer Behälteröffnung umfasst einen Verschlussstopfen aus Kunststoff und eine Verriegelungshülse entsprechend der vorstehend beschriebenen Art, wobei die Verriegelungshülse ein formsteiferes Material als der Verschlussstopfen aufweist.The closure device according to the invention for closing a container opening comprises a sealing plug made of plastic and a locking sleeve according to the manner described above, wherein the locking sleeve has a dimensionally stiffer material than the sealing plug.

Besonders vorteilhaft lässt sich die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussvorrichtung in Kombination mit einem Parfümflakon oder dergleichen verwenden, wenn der Verschlussstopfen als Zerstäubereinrichtung ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist es, insbesondere zur Erzielung einer gewünschten Wertigkeit des Produkts, vorteilhaft, die Verriegelungshülse aus Metall auszubilden.The closure device according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in combination with a perfume bottle or the like if the closure stopper is designed as an atomizer device. It is advantageous, in particular to achieve a desired valence of the product, advantageous to form the locking sleeve made of metal.

Nachfolgend werden anhand der Zeichnungen vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Verschlusseinrichtung erläutert.Hereinafter, advantageous embodiments of the closure device will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Verschlussvorrichtung 10, die auf einer Glasflasche, beispielsweise einem Parfümflakon angeordnet ist. Die Verschlussvorrichtung umfasst einen Verschlussstopfen 11, der im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels als eine Zerstäubereinrichtung ausgebildet ist, die an ihrem oberen Ende eine als Rastflansch 12 ausgeführten Befestigungseinrichtung aufweist, der mit über seinen Umfang verteilt angeordneten Rastlaschen 13 einen Flaschenrand 14 umgreift. Der Rastflansch 12 beziehungsweise die Rastlaschen 13 sind aus einem formelastischen Kunststoffmaterial gebildet und weisen an ihren freien Enden Rastnasen 15 auf, die bei Anordnung des Rastflansches 12 auf der Flaschenöffnung in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Art und Weise hinter den unteren Rand einer am Flaschenrand 14 ausgebildeten Ringwulst 16 nach Art einer Snap-Fit-Verbindung einrasten. Zur Sicherung des Rastflansches 12 in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Position ist mit dem Rastflansch 12 beziehungsweise dem Verschlussstopfen 11 eine metallene Verriegelungshülse 17 kombiniert, die in ihrer von der Darstellung in Fig. 1 abweichenden Montagekonfiguration mit ihrem Unterrand 18 an einer Montageschulter 19 des Rastflansches 12 anliegt, wie in Fig. 1 mit gestricheltem Linienverlauf dargestellt. Fig. 1 shows a closure device 10 which is arranged on a glass bottle, for example a perfume bottle. The closure device comprises a sealing plug 11, which in the case of the present exemplary embodiment is designed as an atomizing device which has at its upper end a fastening device designed as a locking flange 12 which engages around a bottle rim 14 with locking tabs 13 distributed over its circumference. The locking flange 12 and the locking tabs 13 are formed of a form-elastic plastic material and have at their free ends locking lugs 15, which in the arrangement of the locking flange 12 on the bottle opening in the in Fig. 1 shown manner behind the lower edge of a formed on the edge of the bottle 14 annular bead 16 snap in the manner of a snap-fit connection. To secure the locking flange 12 in the in Fig. 1 shown position is combined with the locking flange 12 and the stopper 11, a metal locking sleeve 17, in its from the representation in FIG Fig. 1 deviating mounting configuration with its lower edge 18 rests against a mounting shoulder 19 of the locking flange 12, as in Fig. 1 shown with dashed line.

Aus dieser Montagestellung wird die Verriegelungshülse 17 zur Sicherung der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Position des Rastflansches 12 vermittels einer in Fig. 1 angedeuteten Fügekraft 20 in ihre in Fig. 1 dargestellte Verriegelungsstellung überführt.From this mounting position, the locking sleeve 17 for securing the in Fig. 1 illustrated position of the locking flange 12 by means of a in Fig. 1 indicated joining force 20 in their in Fig. 1 transferred shown locking position.

Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, weist die Verriegelungshülse 17 auf ihrer durch die innere Mantelfläche gebildeten Hülseninnenfläche 21 eine Rückhalteeinrichtung 22 auf, die in radialer Richtung über den Umfang verteilt angeordnete Rückhalteeinheiten 23 aufweist, die sich im vorliegenden Fall jeweils axial erstrecken. Die einzelnen Rückhalteeinheiten 23 bestehen aus in axialer Richtung hintereinander liegend angeordneten, linienförmigen Vertiefungen oder Rillen 24, die vergrößert in Fig. 3 dargestellt sind, und sich in Umfangsrichtung erstrecken. Bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind sechs Rückhalteeinheiten 23 radial über den Umfang verteilt und äquidistant angeordnet. Bei einem zwischen einer durch die äußere Mantelfläche gebildeten Eingriffsumfangsfläche 25 des Rastflansches 12 und der Hülseninnenfläche 21 ausgebildeten Presspassung erfolgt aufgrund des Kriechvermögens des Kunststoffmaterials des Verschlussstopfens 11 beziehungsweise des Rastflansches 12 ein Eingriff des Kunststoffmaterials in die Rillen 24, so dass eine der Fügekraft 20 entgegengesetzt wirkende Abzugskraft die entsprechend ausgebildete Rückhaltekraft überwinden müsste, um die Verriegelungshülse 17 zu entfernen.As Fig. 2 shows, the locking sleeve 17 on its formed by the inner circumferential surface sleeve inner surface 21, a retaining device 22 which has radially distributed over the circumference arranged retaining units 23, each extending axially in the present case. The individual retaining units 23 are arranged in the axial direction one behind the other lying, linear depressions or grooves 24 which increases in Fig. 3 are shown, and extend in the circumferential direction. At the in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment, six retaining units 23 are distributed radially over the circumference and arranged equidistantly. In an interference fit formed between an engagement circumferential surface 25 of the latching flange 12 and the sleeve inner surface 21, an engagement of the plastic material in the grooves 24 takes place due to the creeping property of the plastic material of the sealing plug 11 or the latching flange 12, so that one of the joining force 20 acts in opposite directions Disengagement force would have to overcome the appropriately trained retention force to remove the locking sleeve 17.

Aufgrund der radial voneinander beabstandeten Anordnung der Rückhalteeinheiten 23 ergibt sich in radialer Richtung eine Art Verzahnung der Verriegelungshülse 17 mit dem Verschlussstopfen 11 beziehungsweise dem Rastflansch 12, so dass eine Relativverdrehung der Verriegelungshülse gegenüber dem Verschlussstopfen 11 verhindert wird, beziehungsweise zur Ausführung einer Verdrehung die entsprechend ausgebildeten Reibkraft erst überwunden werden müsste.Due to the radially spaced arrangement of the retaining units 23 results in the radial direction a kind of toothing of the locking sleeve 17 with the stopper 11 and the locking flange 12 so that a relative rotation of the locking sleeve relative to the stopper 11 is prevented, or to execute a rotation of the correspondingly trained Frictional force would have to be overcome first.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Verriegelungshülse 30, die eine Rückhalteeinrichtung 26 aufweist, welche gemäß dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel insgesamt vierundzwanzig radial über die Hülseninnenfläche 21 verteilt angeordnete Rückhalteeinheiten 27 aufweist, die jeweils als sich axial erstreckende Rippenstege ausgebildet sind. Die Rückhalteeinrichtungen oder Rippenstege 27 weisen darüber hinaus jeweils in axialer Richtung fortlaufend und voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Stegkerben 28 auf, wie insbesondere in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Die Stegkerben 28 dienen dabei vorwiegend der Erzeugung einer einer Abzugskraft entgegen wirkenden Rückhaltekraft und die Rippenstege 27 verhindern vor allem durch ihren Eingriff in das Kunststoffmaterial des Verschlussstopfens 11 beziehungsweise des Rastflansches 12 ein relatives Verdrehen zwischen der Verriegelungshülse 30 und dem Verschlussstopfen 11 beziehungsweise dem Rastflansch 12. Fig. 4 shows a locking sleeve 30 having a retainer 26, which according to the present embodiment has a total of twenty-four radially disposed about the sleeve inner surface 21 arranged retaining units 27, which are each formed as axially extending rib webs. The retaining means or rib webs 27 also each have in the axial direction consecutively and spaced apart web notches 28, as in particular in Fig. 5 shown. The web notches 28 serve primarily to produce a withdrawal force acting against a withdrawal force, and the rib webs 27 prevent a relative rotation between the locking sleeve 30 and the sealing plug 11 or the locking flange 12, in particular through their engagement in the plastic material of the sealing plug 11 and the locking flange 12.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Verriegelungshülse 29, die an ihrem unteren Rand mit einem Randfalz 31 zur Ausbildung eines inneren Kragens 33 versehen ist. Der Randfalz 31 ist, wie insbesondere in einer vergrößerten Teilansicht in Fig. 6 dargestellt, in einem gedünnten unteren Randbereicht der Verriegelungshülse 29 vorgesehen, so dass die im Bereich des Randfalzes 31 gedoppelte Anordnung der Hülsenwandung nicht das Doppelte sondern lediglich einen die sonstige Wandstärke der Verriegelungshülse um einen geringeren Betrag als die Wandstärke übertrifft. Der Kragen 33 bildet eine in axialer Richtung wirkende Rückhalteeinrichtung. Wenn, wie in Fig. 6 in gestricheltem Linienverlauf angedeutet, Aussparungen 32 im Kragen 33 vorgesehen sind, die radial über den Kragen 33 verteilt angeordnet sind, wird darüber hinaus auch eine Rückhaltewirkung in radialer Richtung erzielt. Fig. 6 shows a locking sleeve 29 which is provided at its lower edge with a Randfalz 31 for forming an inner collar 33. The edge fold 31 is, as in particular in an enlarged partial view in Fig. 6 shown, provided in a thinned lower edge region of the locking sleeve 29, so that the doubled in the region of Randfalzes 31 arrangement of the sleeve wall not twice but only one exceeds the other wall thickness of the locking sleeve by a smaller amount than the wall thickness. The collar 33 forms a retaining device acting in the axial direction. If, as in Fig. 6 Indicated in dashed line course, recesses 32 are provided in the collar 33, which are arranged distributed radially over the collar 33, beyond a retention effect in the radial direction is achieved.
