  • Fig. 2 the holding device is in the off position Fig. 1 shown in which the flap closure is opened by 180 °.
  • the first holding portion 31 does not yet engage in the second holding portion 32.
  • the lamella portion 34 of the second holding portion 32 is pressed against the slope portion 38 of the lamella portion 34 against the projection portion 31 of the lower part, the lamella portion 34 yielding due to its elasticity, and allowing the projection portion 31 to slide into the slot-shaped recess of the second holding portion 32.
  • the hook-shaped formation of the projections 33 and 34 of the first and second holding portion prevent the unwanted and automatic pivoting back of the upper part of this second position by latching. Such pivoting occurs particularly in some prior art buckles by pivoting the top back to a more closed position by gravity or by a return force provided by the elastically deformed hinge from the desired open position.
  • the recess of the second holding portion 32 is designed as a pocket portion in which the recess is bounded by an enveloping wall 39.
  • the wall 39 is in the closed state of the closure on the end wall 6 of the lower part, so that in this area the interior of the upper part is sealed in the closed state of the closure to the outside through the wall 39.
  • the interior of the upper part 3 would be open to the outside in the closed state of the flip-up closure, whereby a ventilation effect would be achieved, which promotes a drying of the mouth region, whereby a harmful nucleation would be reduced.
  • the trained as a projection portion first holding portion 31 and formed as an opening or recess second holding portion 32 offer the advantage that both can be made in one piece with the closure, require little material and in this way the cost-effective realization of a locking of the upper part on the lower part in the unfolded position enable.
