Ein Stopfen 4 ist in die Flaschenöffnung gedrückt. Ein bis unter den Rückhaltevorsprung 2 reichender Abschnitt 7 mit einer Materialstärke von bis zu 3 mm der Kappe 6 weist ein Außengewinde auf. Ein im wesentlichen ringförmiger Verschraubring 5 ist mit einem zum Außengewinde der Kappe 6 komplementären Innengewinde versehen. Der Radius des Verschraubrings 5 ist so eng sind, dass der Verschraubring 5 geradeso von oben über den Rückhaltevorsprung 2 geschoben werden kann. Der Innenradius der Kappe 6 ist im ungespannten Zustand ungefähr gleich dem Außenradius des Flaschenhalses 3 und kleiner als der Außenradius des Rückhaltevorsprungs 2, so dass der unter den Rückhaltevorsprung 2 reichende Abschnitt 7 der Kappe 6 nur gegen Widerstand von oben über den Rückhaltevorsprung 2 gedrückt werden kann, wobei das Überschieben dadurch erleichtert oder ermöglicht wird, dass der bis unter den Rückhaltevorsprung 2 reichende Abschnitt 7 der Kappe 6 mit mindestens einem axial verlaufenden Schlitz ausgebildet ist, der das Aufweiten des Abschnitts 7 der Kappe 6 erlaubt, das sich nach Passieren des Rückhaltevorsprungs 2 wieder elastisch zurückbildet.Fig. 1: A closure 1 for a bottle has below a bottle opening and outwardly facing a retaining projection 2, which extends radially around a bottle neck 3 below the bottle opening. A plug 4 is pressed into the bottle opening. A reaching to below the retaining projection 2 section 7 with a material thickness of up to 3 mm of the cap 6 has an external thread. A substantially annular Verschraubring 5 is provided with a male thread to the cap 6 complementary internal thread. The radius of the Verschraubrings 5 is so tight that the Verschraubring 5 just above from the retaining projection. 2 can be pushed. The inner radius of the cap 6 in the untensioned state is approximately equal to the outer radius of the bottle neck 3 and smaller than the outer radius of the retaining projection 2, so that under the retaining projection 2 reaching portion 7 of the cap 6 can be pressed only against resistance from above on the retaining projection 2 in that the sliding over is facilitated or made possible by the fact that the section 7 of the cap 6 reaching below the retaining projection 2 is formed with at least one axially extending slot which allows the section 7 of the cap 6 to expand following the passage of the retaining projection 2 again elastically regresses.
