- the present invention relates to a sealing cap for a container plug inserted into a bung of a container, wherein the sealing cap has a cover plate with a fixing ring which is connected to a bottom of the cover plate, wherein the fastening ring a locking device for producing a releasable engagement connection with one on an inner wall Having a stopper recess of the bung stopper formed counter-locking device, wherein the cover disc has at its periphery a concentric with the mounting ring arranged edge skirt for covering an opening edge of the bung nozzle.
- a sealing cap of the type mentioned is from the EP 2 144 821 B1 known.
- the known sealing cap is designed so that when removing the sealing cap from the bung plug inserted into the bung the connection between the cover plate and the skirt should be destroyed to make a manipulation of the seal cap visible from the outside.
- the bung has a radially outwardly projecting Sich ceremoniesswulst, the immediate is arranged below a lower edge of the skirt and the underreaching the skirt, such that without the use of special tools raised the skirt without destruction and so the sealing cap could be removed from the bung prevents.
- a sealing cap for a container plug inserted into a bung of a container known, which, as explained above, from the EP 2 144 821 B1 has known seal cap, arranged on a cover disc edge skirt for covering an opening edge of the bung.
- the skirt is formed so that the lower edge of the edge skirt rests on a formed on the bung neck support collar so that no gap remains between the lower edge of the skirt and the support collar, in which a knife blade or the like could engage to seal the seal without destruction Remove the bung.
- the sealing cap can indeed be prevented that a manipulation on the sealing cap goes unnoticed.
- the design of the sealing cap such that the edge skirt rests with its lower edge on the support collar of the bung, the process of ratcheting a locking device of the sealing cap, which is formed on a mounting ring of the sealing cap and the lower edge in a Level with the lower edge of the mounting skirt is obstructed. This is especially true when contaminants or the like are deposited on the support collar of the bung, the contact of the lower edges of the skirt and the mounting sleeve prevent with the support collar, so that a complete locking of the locking device is not possible.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a sealing cap, which has an increased protection against tampering, without the secure locking connection between the sealing cap and the bung stopper is impaired.
- the sealing cap according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
- the fastening ring between the cover disc and the latching device in a support distance to the latching device on a support means for supporting the mounting ring against the inner wall of the plug well.
- the skirting is divided by a predetermined breaking devices having edge apron break line of the cover plate, which in the attempt to pry by means of an inserted into a below the lower edge of the skirt apron blade or the like to pry the sealing cap from the bung, from the edge skirt over the Due to the support device predetermined breaking devices of the apron rupture line on the cover plate transmitted forces are not absorbed by a sufficient deformation of the mounting ring, but lead to a destruction of the predetermined breaking devices.
- the plug depression reduces the triggering sensitivity of the predetermined breaking devices, so that even comparatively small forces acting on the skirting edge and the fastening ring not stiffened according to the invention do not destroy the predetermined breaking devices would cause destruction of the breaking devices.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Siegelkappe für einen in einen Spundstutzen eines Behälters eingesetzten Behälterstopfen, wobei die Siegelkappe eine Deckelscheibe mit einem Befestigungsring aufweist, der mit einer Unterseite der Deckelscheibe verbunden ist, wobei der Befestigungsring eine Rasteinrichtung zur Herstellung einer lösbaren Eingriffsverbindung mit einer an einer Innenwand einer Stopfenmulde des Spundstopfens ausgebildeten Gegenrasteinrichtung aufweist, wobei die Deckelscheibe an ihrem Umfang eine konzentrisch zum Befestigungsring angeordnete Randschürze zur Überdeckung eines Öffnungsrands des Spundstutzens aufweist.The present invention relates to a sealing cap for a container plug inserted into a bung of a container, wherein the sealing cap has a cover plate with a fixing ring which is connected to a bottom of the cover plate, wherein the fastening ring a locking device for producing a releasable engagement connection with one on an inner wall Having a stopper recess of the bung stopper formed counter-locking device, wherein the cover disc has at its periphery a concentric with the mounting ring arranged edge skirt for covering an opening edge of the bung nozzle.
Eine Siegelkappe der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der
Aus der
Durch die vorstehend erläuterte Ausgestaltung der Siegelkappe kann zwar verhindert werden, dass eine Manipulation an der Siegelkappe unbemerkt bleibt. Allerdings kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass die Ausgestaltung der Siegelkappe, derart, dass die Randschürze mit ihrer Unterkante auf dem Stützbund des Spundstutzens aufliegt, den Vorgang des Verrastens einer Rasteinrichtung der Siegelkappe, die an einem Befestigungsring der Siegelkappe ausgebildet ist und deren Unterkante sich in einer Ebene mit der Unterkante der Befestigungsschürze befindet, behindert. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn Verunreinigungen oder dergleichen auf dem Stützbund des Spundstutzens abgelagert sind, die den Kontakt der Unterkanten der Randschürze und der Befestigungshülse mit dem Stützbund verhindern, sodass ein vollständiges Verrasten der Rasteinrichtung nicht möglich ist.By the above-described embodiment of the sealing cap can indeed be prevented that a manipulation on the sealing cap goes unnoticed. However, it can not be ruled out that the design of the sealing cap, such that the edge skirt rests with its lower edge on the support collar of the bung, the process of ratcheting a locking device of the sealing cap, which is formed on a mounting ring of the sealing cap and the lower edge in a Level with the lower edge of the mounting skirt is obstructed. This is especially true when contaminants or the like are deposited on the support collar of the bung, the contact of the lower edges of the skirt and the mounting sleeve prevent with the support collar, so that a complete locking of the locking device is not possible.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Siegelkappe vorzuschlagen, die einen erhöhten Schutz gegen Manipulationen aufweist, ohne dass die sichere Rastverbindung zwischen der Siegelkappe und dem Spundstopfen beeinträchtigt wird.The present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a sealing cap, which has an increased protection against tampering, without the secure locking connection between the sealing cap and the bung stopper is impaired.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die erfindungsgemäße Siegelkappe die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the sealing cap according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß weist der Befestigungsring zwischen der Deckelscheibe und der Rasteinrichtung in einem Stützabstand zur Rasteinrichtung eine Stützeinrichtung zur Abstützung des Befestigungsrings gegen die Innenwand der Stopfenmulde auf.According to the invention, the fastening ring between the cover disc and the latching device in a support distance to the latching device on a support means for supporting the mounting ring against the inner wall of the plug well.
Aufgrund der Abstützung des Befestigungsrings gegen die Innenwand der Stopfenmulde wird die freie Verformung des Befestigungsrings innerhalb der Stopfenmulde behindert. Dies führt zu einer Versteifung des Befestigungsrings, sodass ein Aufbiegen und Abhebeln der Siegelkappe mittels einer in einen unterhalb der Unterkante der Randschürze eingeführten Klinge oder dergleichen erschwert wird.Due to the support of the mounting ring against the inner wall of the plug well, the free deformation of the mounting ring is hindered within the plug well. This leads to a stiffening of the fastening ring, so that bending and prying off of the sealing cap by means of a blade inserted into a below the lower edge of the edge skirt or the like is made more difficult.
Wenn gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform die Randschürze durch eine Sollbrucheinrichtungen aufweisende Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie von der Deckelscheibe abgeteilt ist, können die bei dem Versuch, mittels einer in einen unterhalb der Unterkante der Randschürze eingeführten Klinge oder dergleichen die Siegelkappe vom Spundstutzen abzuhebeln, von der Randschürze über die Sollbrucheinrichtungen der Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie auf die Deckscheibe übertragenen Kräfte aufgrund der Stützeinrichtung nicht durch eine ausreichende Verformung des Befestigungsrings aufgenommen werden, sondern führen zu einer Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtungen. Mit der vorgenannten Versteifung des Befestigungsrings durch Abstützung des Befestigungsrings an der Innenwand der Stopfenmulde wird also in dem Fall, dass Sollbrucheinrichtungen zwischen der Randschürze und der Deckelscheibe vorgesehen werden, die Auslöseempfindlichkeit der Sollbrucheinrichtungen reduziert, sodass bereits vergleichbar geringe Kräfte, die auf die Randschürze wirken, und die bei einem nicht erfindungsgemäß versteiften Befestigungsring keine Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtungen herbeiführen würden, eine Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtungen bewirken.If, according to a preferred embodiment, the skirting is divided by a predetermined breaking devices having edge apron break line of the cover plate, which in the attempt to pry by means of an inserted into a below the lower edge of the skirt apron blade or the like to pry the sealing cap from the bung, from the edge skirt over the Due to the support device predetermined breaking devices of the apron rupture line on the cover plate transmitted forces are not absorbed by a sufficient deformation of the mounting ring, but lead to a destruction of the predetermined breaking devices. With the aforementioned stiffening of the mounting ring by supporting the mounting ring on the inner wall Thus, in the case that predetermined breaking devices are provided between the skirt and the cover disc, the plug depression reduces the triggering sensitivity of the predetermined breaking devices, so that even comparatively small forces acting on the skirting edge and the fastening ring not stiffened according to the invention do not destroy the predetermined breaking devices would cause destruction of the breaking devices.
Trotz dieser Erhöhung der Auslöseempfindlichkeit der Sollbrucheinrichtungen wird ein sicheres Verrasten der Siegelkappe mit dem Spundstopfen bei der Montage der Siegelkappe nicht beeinträchtigt.Despite this increase in the tripping sensitivity of the predetermined breaking devices, a reliable locking of the sealing cap with the bung plug during assembly of the sealing cap is not impaired.
Wenn die Stützeinrichtung an einem der Deckelscheibe benachbarten axialen Endbereich des Befestigungsrings und die Rasteinrichtung an einem freien Endbereich des Befestigungsrings ausgebildet ist, wir eine möglichst breite Stützbasis zur Abstützung des Befestigungsrings geschaffen.If the support device is formed on an axial end region of the fastening ring adjacent to the cover disk and the latching device is formed on a free end region of the fastening ring, we provide the widest possible support base for supporting the fastening ring.
Vorzugsweise ist die Stützeinrichtung auf etwa 2/3 der Höhe des Befestigungsrings im axialen Endbereich des Befestigungsrings angeordnet, so dass eine breite Stützbasis zur Aufnahme eines auf den Befestigungsring bei dem Versuch des Abhebelns wirkenden Biegemoments geschaffen wird.Preferably, the support means is arranged at about 2/3 of the height of the mounting ring in the axial end region of the mounting ring so as to provide a wide support base for receiving a bending moment acting on the mounting ring in the attempt to pry off.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform erstreckt sich die Stützeinrichtung zumindest abschnittsweise über den Umfang des Befestigungsrings. Da die in dem Spundstutzen eingesetzten Behälterstopfen in der Regel in die Stopfenmulde radial hineinragende, segmentartig ausgebildete Vorsprünge als Widerlager für ein zur Montage der Spundstopfen verwendetes Werkzeug aufweisen, ist es ausreichend, wenn die Stützeinrichtung abschnittsweise, also auch segmentartig über den Umfang des Befestigungsrings ausgebildet ist, um eine Abstützung des Befestigungsrings an den die Innenwand der Stopfenmulde mitausbildenden Vorsprüngen zu ermöglichen. Insbesondere ermöglicht die zumindest abschnittsweise Ausbildung der Stützeinrichtung eine Zentrierung des Befestigungsrings in der Stopfenmulde.In an advantageous embodiment, the support means extends at least in sections over the circumference of the mounting ring. Since the container plugs used in the bung usually have in the plug well radially projecting, segmented projections as an abutment for a tool used for mounting the bung, it is sufficient if the support means sections, so is also formed like a segment over the circumference of the mounting ring to allow support of the mounting ring to the inner wall of the plug well mitbildbildenden projections. In particular, this allows at least sections Training the support means centering the mounting ring in the plug well.
Wenn die Stützeinrichtung als kontinuierlich ausgebildeter Stützsteg ausgebildet ist, also etwa als umlaufende und gegebenenfalls mit Unterbrechungen versehene Anformung, Kante oder Verprägung, insbesondere als umlaufende Reihe von Noppen, in dem Kunststoffmaterial der Siegelkappe ausgebildet ist, kann ein Formwerkzeug, das zur Herstellung der am Befestigungsring mit der Stützeinrichtung versehenen Siegelkappe dient, besonders einfach ausgeführt werden.If the support device is formed as a continuously formed support web, so as a circumferential and possibly intermittent Anformung, edge or embossing, in particular as a circumferential row of knobs, is formed in the plastic material of the sealing cap, a mold, for the preparation of the fastening ring provided with the support device seal cap is very easy to run.
Insbesondere kann ein Formwerkzeug zur Anwendung kommen, das als Schieber ausgebildet ist und dessen Entfernung aus einem Formhohlraum der Form zur Herstellung der Siegelkappe die gleichzeitige Ausbildung des Stützstegs und der Rasteinrichtung am Befestigungsring ermöglicht.In particular, a mold may be used, which is designed as a slide and whose removal from a mold cavity of the mold for producing the sealing cap allows the simultaneous formation of the support web and the locking device on the mounting ring.
Wenn die Stützeinrichtung so ausgebildet ist, dass sie nach Herstellung der Eingriffsverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und der Stopfenmulde an der Innenwand der Stopfenmulde anliegt, wir eine besonders genaue Zentrierung des Befestigungsrings in der Stopfenmulde ermöglicht.If the support means is adapted to abut the inner wall of the plug well after the engagement connection between the fixing ring and the plug well is made, we allow a particularly accurate centering of the fixing ring in the plug well.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Rasteinrichtung über eine Verbindungseinrichtung mit einer an der Randschürze angeordneten Zuglasche verbunden ist, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung einen in der Deckelscheibe ausgebildeten Deckelstreifen aufweist, der durch seitliche, Sollbrucheinrichtungen aufweisende Deckelstreifen-Sollbruchlinien von benachbarten Bereichen der Deckelscheibe abgeteilt ist und einen mit der Rasteinrichtung des Befestigungsrings verbundenen Zugsteg aufweist, wobei sich der Deckelstreifen von der Zuglasche am Umfang der Deckelscheibe in einen zentralen Innenteil der Deckelscheibe innerhalb des Befestigungsrings erstreckt und der Zugsteg in einem Kreuzungsbereich zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und dem Befestigungsring angeordnet ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the latching device is connected via a connecting device with a pull tab arranged on the edge skirt, wherein the connecting device has a cover strip formed in the lid strip, which is divided by lateral, predetermined breaking devices having lid strip lines of weakness of adjacent areas of the lid disc and a with the locking device of the fastening ring connected drawbar, wherein the cover strip extends from the pull tab on the circumference of the cover disc in a central inner part of the cover disc within the mounting ring and the drawbridge is disposed in an intersection between the cover strip and the mounting ring.
Diese besondere Ausführungsform der Siegelkappe bietet nicht nur eine größere Sicherheit gegen Manipulation sondern ermöglicht auch eine besonders leichte reguläre Entfernung der Siegelkappe vom Spundstopfen des Spundstutzens durch eine Öffnungsbewegung, bei der die Zuglasche stets in dieselbe Richtung bewegt wird. Nach einer Zerstörung der Sollbrucheinrichtungen zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und der Deckelscheibe infolge einer schräg nach oben gerichteten Bewegung der Zuglasche wird durch Fortsetzung der Bewegung in dieselbe Richtung über den Deckelstreifen und den Zugsteg zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und dem Befestigungsring aufgrund der Verbindung des Zugstegs mit dem Deckelstreifen in einem Kreuzungsbereich zwischen dem Deckelstreifen und Befestigungsring weiterhin eine Zugkraft auf den Befestigungsring ausgeübt, die den Befestigungsring trotz der versteifend wirkenden Stützeinrichtung des Befestigungsrings nach innen deformiert und ein Lösen der Eingriffverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und dem Behälterverschluss ermöglicht.This particular embodiment of the sealing cap not only provides greater security against manipulation but also allows for particularly easy regular removal of the sealing cap from the bung of the bung by an opening movement in which the pull tab is always moved in the same direction. After destruction of the predetermined breaking devices between the cover strip and the cover plate as a result of an obliquely upward movement of the pull tab is by continuing the movement in the same direction on the cover strip and the drawbridge between the cover strip and the mounting ring due to the connection of the pull bar with the cover strip in one Crossing area between the lid strip and mounting ring further exerted a tensile force on the mounting ring, which deforms the mounting ring in spite of the stiffening acting support means of the mounting ring inside and allows release of the engagement connection between the mounting ring and the container closure.
Dabei wird die zur Entfernung der Siegelkappe benötigte, auf den Befestigungsring wirkende Zugkraft unmittelbar von der Zuglasche auf den Deckelstreifen und von diesem über den Zugsteg auf den Befestigungsring übertragen.In this case, the force required to remove the sealing cap, acting on the mounting ring tensile force is transmitted directly from the pull tab on the cover strip and from this over the drawbridge on the mounting ring.
Vorzugsweise ist der Zugsteg zwischen der Rasteinrichtung und dem Deckelstreifen im Bereich einer im Befestigungsring ausgebildeten Ausnehmung mit der Rasteinrichtung verbunden, so dass die Rasteinrichtung aufgrund der Ausnehmung im Befestigungsring leichter verformbar ist.Preferably, the pull bar between the latching device and the lid strip in the region of a recess formed in the fastening ring is connected to the latching device, so that the latching device is easier to deform due to the recess in the fastening ring.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Rasteinrichtung angrenzend an einen Anschlussbereich des Zugstegs durch parallel zur Deckelscheibe und seitlich zum Zugsteg verlaufende Rasteinrichtungs-Sollbruchlinien von einer mit der Deckelscheibe verbundenen Ringbasis des Befestigungsrings abgeteilt ist, so dass die Verformbarkeit der Rasteinrichtung gegenüber dem Befestigungsring noch weiter erhöht wird und somit eine Entfernung der Siegelkappe vom Behälterverschluss beziehungsweise ein Lösen des Eingriffs der Rasteinrichtung mit dem Behälterverschluss erleichtert wird.It is particularly advantageous if the latching device is divided adjacent to a connection region of the pull bar by parallel to the cover plate and laterally to the drawbar Rasteinrichtungs-breaking lines of a connected to the cover ring ring base of the mounting ring, so that the deformability of the locking device relative to the mounting ring even further increases becomes and thus one Removal of the sealing cap from the container closure or releasing the engagement of the locking device is facilitated with the container closure.
Wenn der Zugsteg einen parallel zur Deckelscheibe verlaufenden Abschnitt aufweist, der mit der Rasteinrichtung verbunden ist, und einen daran anschließenden, quer zur Deckelscheibe verlaufenden Abschnitt aufweist, der mit einem im Innenteil der Deckelscheibe angeordneten Deckelstreifenabschnitt des Deckelstreifens verbunden ist, wird eine weitestgehend radiale Ausrichtung einer auf die Rasteinrichtung des Befestigungsrings wirkenden Zugkraft ermöglicht, so dass bereits eine relativ geringe Zugkraft zur Trennung der Verbindung zwischen der Rasteinrichtung und dem Behälterverschluss ausreichend ist.When the pull bar has a parallel to the cover disc extending portion which is connected to the latching device, and has a subsequent, transverse to the cover plate extending portion which is connected to a arranged in the inner part of the cover plate cover strip portion of the cover strip, a largely radial alignment of a allows the locking device acting on the locking device tensile force, so that even a relatively low tensile force to separate the connection between the locking device and the container closure is sufficient.
Wenn der Deckelstreifenabschnitt eine gegenüber der Deckelscheibe reduzierte Dicke aufweist, wird gewährleistet, dass die Steifigkeit des Deckelstreifenabschnitts gegenüber der Steifigkeit der Deckelscheibe reduziert ist, so dass die Wirkung der vom Deckelstreifen auf die Rasteinrichtung wirkenden Zugkraft erhöht wird.When the lid strip portion has a thickness reduced with respect to the lid disc, it is ensured that the rigidity of the lid strip portion is reduced from the rigidity of the lid disc, so that the effect of the pulling force acting on the latch means from the lid strip is increased.
Ebenfalls erhöhend auf die Wirkung der Zugkraft bzw. die Steifigkeit der Rasteinrichtung im Anschlussbereich der Rasteinrichtung reduzierend wirkt sich aus, wenn die Rasteinrichtung angrenzend an den Anschlussbereich des Zugstegs und im Bereich der im Befestigungsring ausgebildeten Ausnehmung eine Einkerbung aufweist.Increasing also on the effect of the tensile force or the rigidity of the latching device in the connection region of the latching device has a reducing effect if the latching device has a notch adjacent to the connection region of the tensile web and in the region of the recess formed in the fastening ring.
Vorzugsweise ist die Zuglasche des Deckelstreifens in der Randschürze ausgebildet ist, derart, dass die Zuglasche an seitlichen Sollbrucheinrichtungen mit benachbarten Bereichen der Randschürze verbunden ist.Preferably, the pull tab of the lid strip is formed in the skirt, such that the pull tab is connected to lateral predetermined breaking devices with adjacent areas of the skirt.
Wenn der Befestigungsring mit dem zentralen Innenteil der Deckelscheibe einen Becherteil der Siegelkappe bildet, derart, dass der Innenteil der Deckelscheibe einen in der Deckelscheibe ausgebildeten Becherboden bildet, und der Becherboden von einem Außenteil der Deckelscheibe durch eine kreisförmige Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie abgeteilt ist, wird eine besonders starre Verbindung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring ermöglicht, so dass mittelbar über den Becherboden zwar eine Sollbruchverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und der Deckelscheibe vorgesehen ist, die eine Manipulation an der Siegelkappe dadurch erkennbar macht, dass zusammen mit dem Befestigungsring der Becherboden aus der Deckelscheibe herausgetrennt wird.If the fastening ring with the central inner part of the cover disc forms a cup part of the sealing cap, such that the inner part of the cover disc forms a cup base formed in the cover disc, and the cup bottom of an outer part of the cover disc is divided by a circular inner part-predetermined breaking line, a particularly rigid connection between the cover plate and the mounting ring is made possible so that indirectly via the cup bottom a predetermined breaking connection between the mounting ring and the cover plate is provided, which makes a manipulation of the seal cap thereby recognizable that is separated out of the cover disc together with the mounting ring of the cup bottom.
Anderseits wird über die starre Verbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und dem Innenteil der Deckelscheibe eine ausreichend stabile Verbindung zwischen der Deckelscheibe und dem Befestigungsring gegeben ist, um eine unbeabsichtigte Zerstörung der Sollbruchverbindung zwischen dem Befestigungsring und der Deckelscheibe bei der Montage der Siegelkappe zu verhindern.On the other hand, a sufficiently stable connection between the cover plate and the mounting ring is given over the rigid connection between the mounting ring and the inner part of the cover disc to prevent inadvertent destruction of the predetermined breaking connection between the mounting ring and the cover plate during assembly of the sealing cap.
Vorzugsweise sind die Sollbrucheinrichtungen zwischen der Zuglasche und den benachbarten Bereichen der Randschürze im Verhältnis zu der Sollbrucheinrichtung der Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie so ausgebildet, dass bei einer Trennung der Zuglasche aus der Randschürze die Sollbrucheinrichtung der kreisförmigen Randschürzen-Sollbruchlinie erhalten bleibt.Preferably, the predetermined breaking devices between the pull tab and the adjacent regions of the edge skirt are formed in relation to the predetermined breaking device of the apron predetermined breaking line such that the predetermined breaking device of the circular edge skirt break line is maintained when the pull tab is separated from the skirt.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Sollbrucheinrichtung der Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie im Verhältnis zu einer Sollbrucheinrichtung einer Rasteinrichtungs-Sollbruchlinie so ausgebildet ist, dass bei einer Trennung des Deckelstreifens aus der Deckelscheibe die Sollbrucheinrichtung der Innenteil-Sollbruchlinie erhalten bleibt.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the predetermined breaking device of the inner part predetermined breaking line is designed in relation to a predetermined breaking device of a Rasteinrichtungs breaking line so that when a separation of the cover strip from the cover disc, the predetermined breaking device of the inner part predetermined breaking line is maintained.
