Definitions

  • the closure has a rotatably mounted cap with a recess.
  • the rotatably mounted protective cap does not have to be released from the closure or the closure cap in order to release the removal opening arranged in the closure cap.
  • the protective cap merely has to be turned so far that the recess in the protective cap releases a removal opening in the closure cap in a region previously covered by the protective cap and allows removal of the medium - 4 - MER 5859 P
  • the recess in the protective cap is expediently adapted to the dimensions of the removal openings and corresponds in shape and dimensioning to the expediently uniform configuration of the plurality of removal openings.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of the protective cap shown in Fig. 3,
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged partial view V of in
  • Fig. 6 is an enlarged partial view VI of in
  • Safety cover 6 is covered. In order to be able to remove for the first time a sterile or moisture-sensitive medium located in the container 1, the safety cover 6 must be released from the protective cap 4, so that the recess 5 located underneath is accessible from the outside and makes it possible to remove the medium.
  • Recess 5 of the protective cap 4 is covered for the most part by the safety cover 6, which is formed in one piece on the protective cap 4 and is connected to the protective cap 4 via narrow webs.
  • the thus configured cap 4 can be inexpensively and in a simple manner with common injection molding of a suitable material, such as polyethylene (PE), produced.
  • PE polyethylene
  • the protective cap 4 has a substantially cylindrical inner surface 10 and an outer surface 11, which is divided along a circumference of the protective cap 4 into twelve flat surfaces 12.
  • the flat surfaces 12 each have an angle of 30 ° to an adjacent flat surface 12.
  • the protective cap 4 has in its center two locking elements 14, which in an associated opening in the cap
  • the protective cap 4 has on the inner surface 10 a plurality of, in the embodiment shown, twelve inwardly projecting, bead-like detent elements 15.
  • the locking elements 15 may each be associated with a flat surface 12.
  • the closure cap 3 has a groove 16, which is adapted to the shaping of the catch elements 15 and oriented perpendicular to the circumferential direction, in each of which a catch element 15 can engage.
  • the groove 16 is shown for example in Fig. 2.
  • a possible embodiment of the latching elements 15 is illustrated in the enlarged partial view in FIG. 5.
  • the septum 20 is preferably made of silicone, which is coated on a surface facing the interior of the container 1 with an inert material, such as PTFE.
  • all injection-moldable polymers can be used, which, however, are preferably inert to aggressive solvents but also to leaching.
