  • the adapter 120 has a screw 122 which has the circumferential ridge 66.
  • the web 66 is received in the circumferential groove 62 of the upper part 50.
  • the screw 122 has an opening 124 formed by an axially projecting terminal portion 126.
  • the terminal portion 126 has a screw portion 128 formed on an outer peripheral surface of the terminal portion 126.
  • the connection section 126 surrounds a seal 130.
  • the screw element 122 has a cylindrical section 132 on a side opposite the connection section 126.
  • the cylindrical portion 132 is connected to the opening 124.
  • the upper part 50 is screwed to the lower part 52.
  • the free end 86 fixes the web 66 in the groove 62.
  • the cylindrical portion 132 is located on the sealing membrane 70 of the sealing member 69 at. Between the sealing membrane 70 and the end face 83, the coil spring 82 is arranged.
  • the sealing membrane 70 of the sealing member 69 is pressed against the cylindrical portion 132 of the screw 122 and thereby forms a tight connection between the opening 124 and the line portion 74.
  • the connecting portion 126 has circumferentially the screw portion 128 to the connecting portion 126 with to screw a connection portion of the container 12. In this case, an edge of the opening 20 of the container 12 is pressed axially against the seal 130 and forms a sealed connection of the opening 20 with the opening 124 of the adapter 120th
  • connection portion 126 can be screwed, for example, into an internal thread of the neck 18 of the container 12 and thus connect the opening 124 with the opening 20.
  • the container 12 has no neck 18 and the screw portion 128 is screwed directly into the opening 20 of the container 12.
  • a thread can be provided on an inner side of the opening 20.
  • the screw portion 128 has a cutting thread. Thereby, the screw portion 128 in the connecting portion of the container 12 when screwing a thread cut and so make a stable connection with the container.
  • the screw portion 128 is formed on the inside of the connection portion and is screwed onto the neck 18 of the container 12.
  • the internal screw portion 128 may also have a cutting thread.
  • the adapter 120 can be screwed onto the almost arbitrarily shaped neck 18, since the cutting thread cuts a thread into the connecting portion of the neck 18 when screwed on.
