Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure unit for a container, in particular a beverage container, in the container interior of which pressurized liquids, in particular beverages, are arranged, comprising an insertable into a lid of the container insert part.
  • Such closure units are for example from the EP 1 099 644 A1 known.
  • closure units have the problem that they allow only a venting of the container.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a closure unit of the generic type such that it is universally applicable.
  • a closure unit of the type described above in that the closure unit has a receiving sleeve with a passage channel for a dispensing rod, that the receiving sleeve is closed at its outer region facing away from the container interior by a closure element and that the receiving sleeve on a container interior facing side of the closure element is provided with a circumferential to the feed channel sealing element for sealing between the pinion and the receiving sleeve.
  • the closure element creates the possibility of preventing the introduction of dirt into the feed-through channel and on the other hand to protect the sealing element from penetrating into the feed-through dirt.
  • the closure element may be formed in various ways.
  • the closure element is a film which closes the feedthrough channel, wherein the film may be a film bonded to the receiving sleeve or welded thereto.
  • the closure element comprises a closure plate.
  • Such a closure plate can be connected, for example, as a whole via a predetermined breaking edge with the receiving sleeve, so that the closure plate is removable as a whole by destroying the predetermined breaking edge.
  • the closure element can be even easier to remove if this has several interconnected by predetermined breaking points segments.
  • a favorable solution provides that the segments are interconnected by predetermined breaking points interconnected circular surface segments.
  • closure element does not have to be removed separately, but can simply be pierced with the dispensing rod, with the segments of the closure element then folding into the receiving sleeve and thus not obstructing the insertion of the dispensing device.
  • the segments are made of a material with a significant material thickness, such as segments of a closure plate, it has proven to be advantageous if the segments are folded into an annular space arranged around the feed channel for the dispensing rod in the receiving sleeve.
  • This annulus provides the ability to hinder the segments within the receiving sleeve in a simple manner, the further insertion of the dispensing device.
  • the closure element according to the invention for the receiving sleeve can - as already mentioned - be held in any form on this.
  • it may be a glued, welded or only positively connected thereto element.
  • a particularly favorable solution provides that the closure element is integrally formed on the receiving sleeve, so that can be produced in one operation in an advantageous manner, the receiving sleeve together with the closure element.
  • an advantageous solution provides that the receiving sleeve is a separate part connected to the insert part and that the insert part has a passage provided for carrying out the dispensing element.
  • receiving sleeve and insert part could be connected to each other in succession and in a suitable manner, for example in a form-fitting or cohesive manner.
  • a particularly favorable solution provides that the receiving sleeve is inserted into the passage of the insert part.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the closure unit according to the invention provides that the opening provided for the passage of the dispensing nozzle in the insert part is provided with a closure part.
  • This closure part provides further security and is preferably designed such that it forms a pressure-tight closure, so that a build-up inside the container pressure can not lead to destruction of the closure.
  • the closure part can be detached from the insert part.
  • closure part is expediently detachable from the insert part by destroying a predetermined breaking point between the closure part and the insert part.
  • the closure part is movable in the direction of the container interior during detachment.
  • the closure part can be detached from the insert part by means of the dispensing device.
  • the closure part could also be formed as a separate part and connected to the insert frictionally or positively.
  • closure part is integrally formed on the insert part.
  • the receiving sleeve is connected to the insert part and the insert part has the passage for the dispensing nozzle, it is preferably provided that the passage of the insert part can be closed in a gas-tight manner with the receiving sleeve.
  • the receiving sleeve even if it is formed as a separate, separate from the insert part, no additional function.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the receiving sleeve is part of an engaging in the passage of the insert part ventilation.
  • the closure part can be detached from the insert part by moving the ventilation part.
  • Such detachment of the closure part from the insert part can preferably be achieved particularly favorable when the ventilation part is movable from a transport state into a tapping state relative to the insert part and when the closure part of the insert part can be detached from the insert part.
  • the movement of the ventilation part can be carried out relative to the insert part in various ways.
  • the ventilation part is movable in the direction of the passage relative to the insert part, for example, either from this withdrawable or can be pressed into this, thereby to release the closure part of the insert part.
  • Such a rotatability of the ventilation part relative to the insert part can be realized, for example, in that the ventilation part is axially non-displaceable relative to the insert part rotatable and causes detachment of the closure part from the insert part in the course of this rotation.
  • Such a combined movement of the ventilation part relative to the insert part can be achieved, for example, in that both the ventilation part and the insert part have cooperating and thread-like or backdrop track-like shaped positive-locking elements which provide both a rotation combined with a movement in the direction of the passage.
  • Such a sealing element is expediently designed so that it ensures a tight seal between the ventilation part and the insert part in the transport position of the ventilation part.
  • the sealing element in the ventilation position of the ventilation part is at least partially ineffective.
  • Such, at least partially ineffectiveness of the sealing element can be achieved in that the ventilation part shifts in the transition from the transport position to the ventilation position in the direction of the passage and thus, for example, a peripheral region of the ventilation part can be moved in the region of the sealing element, which ineffective its sealing effect can be.
