Description

Cap for attachment to a liquid container

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a closure cap, preferably screw cap, for attachment to a liquid container, preferably bottle

preferably PET bottle, the cap a

Spout opening, preferably resealable

Spout opening, and a receiving element comprises, which forms with the cap a common receiving volume for receiving at least one dispensing body, preferably at least one tablet, and the cap is apparent, which forms an access to the receiving volume to bring the at least one dispensing body in the receiving volume can or be removed from the receiving volume, wherein the receiving element is permeable to a liquid in order to allow a contacting of the at least one dispensing body with the liquid. The present invention also relates to a dispensing body, preferably a tablet, for admixing with a liquid contained in a liquid container with a closure cap according to the invention.

Finally, the present invention relates to a system comprising a closure cap according to the invention and

at least one dispensing body according to the invention.

STATE OF THE ART

To be able to take liquid on the way or during the sport, are drinking bottles, in particular drinking bottles with Cap known. The bottles usually have threads on which the caps are screwed. The threads are standardized and the number of differently standardized thread of these bottles is low. On the one hand, these bottles can be prefilled, for example with mineral water, which may also be mixed with flavorings, or with an isotonic beverage. On the other hand, they can be bottles which are intended to contain a liquid mixed by the user as desired. For this case, in addition to fruit juice syrups especially

Showers in powder or tablet form available.

A disadvantage in both cases that the user on the concrete beverage mixture for the entire Aufbrauchsdauer the drink, ie between the beginning and end of the

Beverage consumption, is fixed. That he can no longer change the flavor during beverage consumption, since the liquid still present in the bottle has only the flavor once selected.

But not only the taste desire can change between the beginning and end of beverage consumption. For example, if the user has opted for a non-isotonic beverage, and after a certain period of time in which he wishes to drink e.g. Sport has an isotonic drink, so this is also no longer possible with the liquid still present in the bottle.

In the case of beverage preparation by effervescent tablets is also the use of chemicals to dissolve the

Effervescent tablet required. That the use of pure

natural substances for beverage preparation is not possible here, which is to be regarded as disadvantageous.

Incomplete dissolution of the tablet may be associated with a less than optimally selected dosage, especially with too high a concentration of the powder or tablet. However, it is not always easy to maintain the correct dosage because, strictly speaking, when mixing the powder or tablet with the liquid (in the

Normally water), the actual amount of liquid must be considered.

These disadvantages can at least partially according to the

US2010 / 0012193A1 be remedied. This describes a liquid container with cap, which is made in three parts; a tablet container, a container lid and a cap closure. For inserting a

Tablet in the tablet container, the container lid must be unscrewed and then screwed again. The disadvantage is the fact that the container lid can fall down or get lost.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a

Provide closure cap for liquid container, which allows the addition of flavors and / or nutrients and / or food supplements and / or medicinal agents to a liquid receivable in the liquid container while avoiding the disadvantages described above. In this case, a cap should be provided for each of the few different standardized thread types, so that with a few caps any number of types of bottles can be used. It should be ensured that when inserting a tablet no part of the cap or the cap itself drops or is lost.

In particular, a simple handling is to be guaranteed, which is a simple change of flavors and / or

Nutrients and / or nutritional supplements. Furthermore, it should be easy, for example, partially dissolved dispensing body again from the bottle with

Remove the cap.

Furthermore, dosing problems, in particular too high

Concentrations of flavorings and / or nutrients and / or nutritional supplements in the fluid

be avoided. In addition, the possibility to avoid chemicals should be created, so that the

Adding pure natural substances can be used.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

These objects are achieved by a closure cap, preferably screw cap, for attachment to a liquid container, preferably bottle, especially

preferably PET bottle, the cap a

Spout opening, preferably resealable

Spout opening, and a receiving element comprises, which forms with the cap a common receiving volume for receiving at least one dispensing body, preferably at least one tablet, and the cap is apparent, which forms an access to the receiving volume to bring the at least one dispensing body in the receiving volume can or can be removed from the receiving volume, wherein the receiving element for a liquid

is permeable to allow a contact ierung the at least one dispensing body with the liquid. It is inventively provided that a closure element connected to the closure element is provided, through which the access can be closed liquid-tight

or can be released. The cap is preferably a screw cap that fits all standard water bottles, or you can with a few different caps the few different standardized

Serve bottle thread types. The cap is

usually provided with a mouthpiece that the

Spout opening closes the cap and can be transferred from a closed position into a release division, preferably by moving the mouthpiece. In the closed position, no liquid can over the

Pass the mouthpiece through the cap. In the

Operating position is thus the safe storage of

Liquid in the liquid container with inventive cap allows, even if it is transported or carried along during sports by the user. In the

Release division can pass through the mouthpiece fluid through the cap, and the user is allowed to drink.

It has been found that the closure element is an easy and quick way to place a tablet in the receiving volume or to remove it. The connection guarantees that the closure element can not fall off unintentionally. The user therefore does not have to worry about where he places the closure element while the closure cap is open, and also the

An unpleasant situation that the closure element falls to the floor and thereby becomes dirty, can thus be prevented. The closure element may be embodied, for example, as the upper part of the closure cap, which is simply folded away or as a door, which laterally

is unfolded. The different

Design options have in common that they provide easy and quick access to the recording volume offer and thus the dispensing body can be quickly and easily changed, introduced or removed.

The opening and especially the closing of the closure element is simple, fast and possible without focusing on the process.

The receiving element is preferably as a flat surface

executed. This represents a particularly simple and thus inexpensive embodiment variant.

To prevent parts of the dispenser body the

Close pour spout, the closure cap on a retaining element which is disposed between the receiving element and the spout opening, wherein the retaining element is permeable to a liquid to prevent the dispensing body from reaching the spout opening. The

Retaining element can be made in one piece with the cap or as a separate element with the

Be connected cap. Here is one

Permeability given to liquid, which can be realized for example through small openings, so that nevertheless the dispensing body or unresolved parts thereof on

Closing the spout opening are prevented. Accordingly, it is provided in a variant of the closure cap according to the invention that the closure cap a

Retaining element which is arranged between the receiving element and the spout opening, wherein the

Retaining member is permeable to a liquid to prevent the dispensing body to get to the spout opening.

In a further preferred embodiment of the

cap according to the invention, a cost-effective production of the cap is achieved by the

Receiving element is made of plastic. It is also conceivable that the retaining element also made

Plastic is made. The permeability of the receiving element for the liquid is in a preferred embodiment of the

closure cap according to the invention realized in that the receiving element has through openings, which are preferably formed grid-shaped or grid-shaped.

The permeability of the retaining element for the liquid is in a preferred embodiment of the

closure cap according to the invention realized in that the retaining element has through openings, the

preferably formed grid-shaped or grid-shaped. In this way, it is also reliably avoided that the dispensing body or parts of the dispensing body pass through the mouthpiece into the mouth of the user when drinking.

A possible contacting of the delivery body with the

Liquid before drinking basically depends on the exact arrangement of the receiving element in the volume. When the bottle is vertical, contact can be avoided if the receiving element is located entirely in a volume formed by the closure cap. This means that volume that on the one hand by the

Cap is limited and on the other hand by an imaginary surface, in turn, from an edge of the

Cap is limited. This imaginary surface is actually free of material to connect the cap with the body, preferably to screw. This means that in this case a contact takes place only when turning the bottle, as the user performs while drinking. Accordingly, it is in a preferred embodiment of the closure cap according to the invention

provided that the receiving element in one of the

Cap is arranged in the operating position formed volume. In order to replace the receiving element optionally, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the closure cap according to the invention that the

Receiving element is releasably secured in the cap.

In a further embodiment of the invention

Cap is provided that the retaining element is releasably secured in the cap.

Slipping of the dispensing body can be prevented by a on the receiving element in the direction of

Spout opening protruding circular boundary element is arranged to a lateral in the operating state

Prevent slipping of the delivery body. The dispensing body is thus washed around evenly from all sides.

In a further embodiment variant of the closure cap according to the invention, the closure element can be pivoted. It turned out that the swiveling

Closure element is a simple and quick way to place a tablet in the receiving volume or to remove it. It is under swivel

understood that the closure element can be detached from the cap and at least partially removed so far that the resulting opening access to the

Free up volume to put a tablet in the

Recording volume into or out of this can. Pivotable therefore means that the closure element can be deflected out of the position closing the access, for example to introduce a dispensing body without the closure element being able to fall off, and then simply being brought back into the position closing the access.

In a further embodiment variant of the closure cap according to the invention, the closure element is connected by means of a hinge-like connecting element. It can do that Hinge-type connecting element a thin web or one or more fixed hinges or a flexible one

Plastic piece or otherwise be a suitable element. For example, a hinge does not just allow one

simply opening the access to the receiving volume, but provides when closing a guide that allows the user not to the process of closing

To concentrate because the movement is guided by the hinges and only the external force sufficient to close the access properly. The user therefore does not have to pay attention to how he closes the access or that he puts the closure element in a certain way on the other part of the cap.

In an embodiment of the invention

Cap is the closure element as part of

Cloak surface of the cap performed, it closes the access in the operating position. It can do that

Closing element as a flap, which is laterally or upwardly or downwardly hinged executed. This represents a simple and elegant solution, since in the closed state of the closure element this an unwanted

Preventing leakage at the location of the closure element prevents and in the open state provides access to the receiving volume to quickly and easily place a dispensing body can, with an unintentional opening by certain

Situations is prevented. Thus, the cap can be provided with a resealable mouthpiece, which is transferred from the closed state into the opened by a pull on the mouthpiece away from the cap. The required force is calculated so that

for example, by friction of other objects on the

Cap in a bag not the mouthpiece

unintentionally opened. This fact, however, entails that upwardly opening closure elements by this powerful pull on the mouthpiece can be opened unintentionally upwards, resulting in the inventive

Embodiment of the closure element as part of

Lateral surface is prevented. In a further embodiment of the closure cap according to the invention, the closure cap comprises two parts, wherein the first part of the thread for attachment to a

Liquid container includes and the second part of the

Spout opening, and the second part forms the closure element. Due to the two-part design, it is particularly easy to a dispensing body on the receiving element

decorate.

It is possible that the transition from the first part to the second part represents a horizontal division of the cap.

In a particularly simple embodiment of the

Cap is the cap in the area of

Transition cylindrical. This represents a simple and thus also inexpensive variant of execution. A particularly simple and comfortable filling of the

Recording volume can be realized by the

Cap on to access and take-up volume

corresponding withdrawable storage element for the dispensing body comprises, which storage element can be introduced through the open access in the receiving volume and placed on the receiving element. That to

Filling the receiving volume, the storage element is pulled out of the open access, at least one dispensing body is placed in the storage element, and the

Storage element is then pushed back into the receiving volume via the open access. An advantage of this embodiment is also that, for example Tablets, which have already partially dissolved in the receiving volume, can be removed more easily.

In a further embodiment variant of the closure cap according to the invention, the second part comprises on its lateral surface a local deformation pointing inward in the radial direction of the closure cap, whereby in the operating position a pressure from the local deformation is exerted on the first part and the two parts are braced against each other.

In this case, the deformation in the radial direction of

cylindrical receiving volume inside. This prevents, for example, with caps with

Mouthpiece, which release the opening on the mouthpiece for drinking by a strong pull on the mouthpiece, while not the closure part is inadvertently mitgeöffnet.

Another embodiment of the closure element is that it is designed as a slide which is displaceable along the lateral surface of the closure cap. Of the

Slide may, for example, in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap or normal to the longitudinal axis in

Be circumferential direction of the cap displaced. The slide can essentially correspond to a rectangular cutout from the lateral surface of the closure cap.

In the embodiment of the closure element as a slide can be provided that the slide is displaceable using a rail relative to the cap. Thus, one or more profile rails may be provided in the slide on opposite sides (for example at or near longitudinal edges or transverse edges) per side, which rails run parallel to one another and are guided in depressions of the closure cap with a corresponding profile. Or it can be reversed provided that the cap outside of the

Access has at least two mutually parallel rails, which in corresponding wells of Lock element engage. The profile of the rail has in both cases, for example, a taper, so that the rail can not be pulled out of the recess normal to its longitudinal extent.

For easy handling and optimal

Dosing option when using the inventive

To ensure closure cap according to the invention a dispensing body, preferably tablet, provided for receiving in a receiving volume of a closure cap according to the invention.

Accordingly, the use of a according to the invention

Delivery body, preferably tablet, provided in a receiving volume of a closure cap according to the invention.

To ensure that the dispenser body in one

Recording volume can be accommodated, it is in a preferred embodiment of the invention

Dispensing body provided that the dispensing body a

Has dispensing body volume that is not greater than that

Recording volume is.

In order to be able to produce a beverage on contact with liquid or flavors and / or nutrients and / or

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is possible to release dietary supplements and / or medicinal active substances and thus to be able to add to the liquid

The dispensing body according to the invention provides that the

Dispensing body at least one water-soluble element for

Preparation of a drink and / or release of a flavor and / or nutrient and / or a

Dietary supplement and / or a medical

Active substance has. Nutrients include carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Become a variety of

Carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins released, this is the production of an isotonic drink possible. If at least one dispensing body is arranged in the receiving volume, it is flowed around by the liquid when drinking and can deliver substances or substances, in particular flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents, to the liquid. That is, it comes to a mixture with the liquid immediately before the user actually drinks the mixture. An excessive concentration of the desired substances in the liquid can thus be avoided in principle.

It should be noted that when weaning the bottle after drinking in general, some of the liquid from the receiving volume will flow back into the body of the bottle. In this case, a certain proportion of the above substances or substances in the rest in the

Main body located liquid to be transferred, which in the design of the dispensing body or of its

Discharge characteristic is taken into account.

To a spatially stable arrangement of water-soluble

To guarantee elements that additionally contributes to the fact that no water-soluble elements can pass through through-holes, they are arranged in a sponge, which fills the dispensing body volume at least in sections. Accordingly, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the dispensing body according to the invention that the

Dispensing body a sponge, preferably plastic sponge comprises. This is particularly preferred

Plastic sponge designed so that the liquid

can easily reach the water-soluble elements, which can be achieved for example by a sponge fabric of coarsely intertwined fibers.

In order to further improve handling, it is in a preferred embodiment of the invention

Dispensing body provided that the dispensing body a liquid-permeable net-like fabric, in particular gauze, comprising the dispensing body in a

Holding dispensing body mold that fits into a receiving volume. The thus stabilized dispensing body mold allows

in particular a simple and convenient replacement of the

Dispensing body even after drinking, after the

water-soluble elements have already been completely or at least partially dissolved.

A particularly good stabilization of the dispenser body shape while at the same time being easy to produce can be achieved by arranging the reticulated tissue on a dispenser body outside.

In order to avoid the use of chemicals and to use only natural substances for beverage preparation, it is in a preferred embodiment of the invention

Delivery body provided that it is at least one water-soluble element arranged in the dispensing body volume ball whose surface by a

water-soluble layer is formed and the interior of which is filled with a substance, such as syrup or tea, which contains a flavor and / or nutrient and / or a dietary supplement and / or a medicinal agent. The water-soluble layer is in this case preferably formed from a water-soluble glaze, in particular icing, which contributes to the avoidance of chemicals.

The time course of the delivery of the substances, in particular the flavorings and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents may be different through multiple balls

Glaze layer thicknesses can be realized. Those spheres with the thinnest glaze layer thicknesses are the first to release the substances, while spheres with thicker glaze layer thicknesses still release do not release any substances. Only at a later date, if, for example, the substances of those balls with

originally thin glaze layer thickness are used up, set the balls originally thicker glaze layer thickness, the substances stored in them.

This may be, for example, the same substances as before, so that a temporally consistent

Concentration of these substances in the liquid is achieved. But there may also be different substances in the balls, so that, for example, first a fruit-flavored drink is provided and at a later time an isotonic drink. athletes

allows this when carrying a single

WAYS OF IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows a liquid container in the form of a bottle 5 with a bottle body 36 and a cap according to the invention 7. The cap 7 is in a

Operating position 8 shown, in which the closure cap 7 closes a spout opening 9. The closure cap 7 is by means of a thread 34 (see Fig. 2) on the

Bottle body 36 screwed.

The closure cap 7 is provided with a mouthpiece 33, which is shown in FIG. 1 in a closed position 11. In the closed position 11, the closure cap 7 for a liquid 37, in the bottle 5 and in

Bottle body 36 is included and a

Liquid level 38, impermeable. By

Moving the mouthpiece 33 along a longitudinal axis 10, the mouthpiece 33 from the closed position 11 in a

Release position (not shown) are brought. In the release position, the cap 7 for the liquid 37 is permeable to allow the user to drink from the bottle 5.

The bottle base body 36 has bottle inner walls 6, which define a volume 4 together with the closure cap 7 in the operating position 8. In this volume 4 a receiving element 1 of the closure cap is arranged according to the invention, which forms a common receiving volume 20 with the closure cap 7 for receiving at least one dispensing body 2, preferably at least one tablet. Fig. 2 illustrates Such an embodiment using an axonometric

View of a cut-open cap.

In this case, the receiving element 1 is attached to the closure cap 7, preferably releasably secured, and designed as a flat surface. Thus, the receiving element 1 is arranged in a volume formed by the closure cap 7 in the operating position 8. The receiving element 1 contacts the inner wall of the closure cap 7 at least in all points of a circular path. The tablet 2 (see Fig. 14) can be placed on the receiving element 1. A circular

Limiting element 16 (Fig. 2) prevents the lateral

Slipping of the tablet, which of the in the of

Bottle 5 received liquid 37, in particular during the drinking process is contacted. As a result, a beverage can be prepared or substances such as flavors

and / or deliver nutrients and / or nutritional supplements and / or medicinal agents to the fluid.

The cap has an access 12 to the

at least one tablet 2 in the receiving volume 20 to introduce or run from the receiving volume 20 can. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the closure cap 7 comprises a first, lower part 13, which comprises the receiving element 1, and a second, upper part 14, which comprises the spout opening 9 and a retaining element 41, wherein a transition 46 of the second part 14 on the first part 13 is a horizontal division. In Figure 3, the same embodiment is in the open state

pictured.

The transition 46 divides in Figure 1, the cap 7 in the first part 13 and the second part 14. In the second part 14 is the retaining element 41. This is, as well as the receiving element 1, executed in the embodiment shown as a flat surface. In the area of an edge 39 of the first part of

Cap is arranged a bead 18 which extends along the full circumference of the cap 7. In the region of an edge 40 of the second part of the closure cap, a notch 19 is arranged, which also extends in a closed circular manner along the second part 14 of the closure cap on the inside thereof. In this case, the innermost measured circumference of the notch 19 is greater by a tenth of a millimeter than the outermost circumference of the bead 18, whereby in the operating position 8, the two parts 13 and 14, the closure cap tight

close.

A hinge-like connecting element 43 connects the two parts 13 and 14 of the cap 7 in the

open state. The connecting element 43 allows the unfolding of the second part 14 from the rest.

The second part 14 has a local deformation 47 on its lateral surface. When closed, the deformation 47 is under tension (comparison deformation relaxed / under

Voltage Fig. 4 and 5), whereby the unwanted opening of the two parts 13 and 14 is prevented. Furthermore

prevents the bead 18 unintentional opening by the

Deformation 47 must be pushed over the bead 18 when opening the closure element 42, resulting in a resistance.

Both the receiving element 1 and the retaining element 41 have through holes 15, through which the

Liquid 37 occurs at least during the drinking process in or out of the receiving volume 20 and thus comes into contact with the tablets 2 located in the receiving volume 20. As can be seen in Fig. 2, the passage openings are arranged regularly, resulting in a grid shape or grid shape. Through the passage openings 15, the production of a drink or the delivery of substances, in particular of

Flavorings and / or nutrients and / or Dietary supplements and / or medicinal agents from the tablets 2 to the liquid 37 allows.

Figures 10 to 13 show alternative embodiments of the closure cap 7 according to the invention, all on

standardized water bottles, in particular PET bottles, by means of the thread 34 can be screwed. As a comparison, in Fig. 9 is a cap of the prior art

displayed. To the user the screwing and unscrewing the

To facilitate closure cap 7, the closure caps 7 shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 have a surface structure 35, which in this case is designed as a corrugation.

In addition, the cap 7 has a removable cover 3 through which the mouthpiece 33 can be concealed, as shown in the figures.

FIG. 12 shows an axonometric view of the cut-open closure cap 7 from FIG. 10 with a receiving element 1 and retaining element 41 according to the invention. The receiving volume 20 has a cylindrical shape.

An alternative embodiment variant is shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. The cap 7 has a

Closure element 42. In the closed state, shown in Fig. 6, it closes the access 12 completely, whereby no liquid 37 can escape. In the opened state 17, Fig. 7, the closure member 42 exposes the access 12 and thus allows the insertion or release of a tablet 2 in the receiving volume 20. In this case, see Fig. 8, the receiving element 1 is on the thread 34 facing Side of the closure element 42, while the

Retaining element 41 on the mouthpiece 33 facing side of the closure element 42 is located.

Fig. 14 shows an axonometric view of a

sliced, schematically illustrated tablet 2, which can be arranged in a receiving volume 20. In the case of the embodiment of the tablet 2 shown in FIG. this has a dispensing body mold 22 which fits into the receiving volume 20. One condition, however, which must be met in any case, is that a dispensing body volume 24 of the tablet 2 may not be greater than the receiving volume 20.

In order to keep the tablet 2 permanently in the dispenser body mold 22, the tablet 2 has a gauze 23 which is arranged on a dispenser body outside 26.

Fig. 14 also shows that the dispensing body volume 24 is partially filled by a plastic sponge 25. In addition, 24 balls 27 are arranged in the dispensing body volume. In this case, the liquid 37 through the

Plastic sponge 25 to the balls 27 penetrate. The

net-like fabric of the gauze 23 is also for the

Liquid 37 permeable.

The balls 27 act as water-soluble elements to make a beverage or flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medical

Release active substances, so that an admixture to

Liquid 37 can take place. For this purpose, the balls 27 are constructed in accordance with the cross-sectional view of FIG. 15. That Each ball 27 has a surface 29 formed by a water-soluble glaze layer 28, preferably sugar. The glaze layer 28 defines a ball interior 30 and has a certain glaze layer thickness 31. In the ball interior 30 is the liquid 37 to be added substance, in particular

Flavorings and / or nutrients and / or

Dietary supplements and / or medical agents arranged. In the embodiment of FIG. 15 is the

Ball interior 30 filled with syrup 32.

Only when the glaze layer 28 having the glaze layer thickness 31 is dissolved, is the syrup 32 released or mixed with the liquid 37. The glaze layer thickness 31 may be different in size with different balls 27, so that the resolution of the

Glaze layers 28 takes different lengths. Accordingly, the timing of the addition of the syrup 32 can be designed. In addition, the different balls 27 in their respective ball interior 30 different

Contain substances. Thus, some balls 27 may contain syrup 32, other balls 27 other substances, for example, after a certain time, i. after a certain period of contact of the balls 27 with the fluid 37 to provide an isotonic beverage.

Moreover, the balls 27 themselves may be of different sizes, i. have different diameters, as indicated in Fig. 14. In interaction with different glaze layer thicknesses 31, depending on the duration of the contact of the balls 27 with the liquid 37, different amounts of the particles in the interior of the ball 30 can be produced

substances, for example syrups 32,

be released.

Finally, it is of course also possible to arrange different substances (as stated above, not necessarily syrups 32) in differently sized balls 27 with different glaze layer thicknesses 31. Thus, the time course of the admixture of different amounts of different substances to the liquid 37 can be set.

In Fig. 16 is a further embodiment of a

inventive cap 7 shown where the

Closing element 42 is designed as a slide which is displaceable along the lateral surface of the closure cap, namely from the closing position downwards (away from the cover 3) into the open position. For this purpose, straight profile rails are provided on the inside of the closure element 42 near the longitudinal edges, which engage in corresponding straight recesses 48 of the closure cap 7, which are parallel to the longitudinal axis 10. Otherwise, the structure of the closure cap 7 is substantially identical to that of FIG. 13, namely with respect to the receiving element 1, the cover 3, the retaining element 41 not visible in FIG. 16, the thread 34 and the surface structure 35.

At the transverse edges (course in the circumferential direction of

Cap 7) of the closure element 42 and on the transverse edges of the access 12 are - not shown here - mutually corresponding seals provided, such as by means of sealing beads on a part and corresponding

Depressions on the other part.

The embodiment according to FIG. 17 largely corresponds to that of FIG. 16, but here the closure element 42 designed as a slide is not along the longitudinal axis 10

displaceable, but along the circumference of the closure cap 7. Accordingly, annular profile rails are provided on the inside of the closure member 42 near the two transverse edges, which engage in corresponding annular recesses 48 of the cap 7, which are normal to the longitudinal axis 10, namely in the circumferential direction.

The embodiment of Fig. 18 is very similar to that of Fig. 16, but in Fig. 18, the shutter member 42 formed as a slider is slid upwardly only from the closing position. At the bottom is the

Closing element on a stop of the cap 7. Thus, the closure member 42 can not be pushed out of the recess 48 and separated from the cap 7 at any rate due to gravity or due to a misoperation down. In order to prevent upward displacement of the closure element 42, an extension could be provided on the underside of the closure element 42, which upon reaching the uppermost (open position) of the closure element 42 is held by a corresponding element of the closure cap 7. The closure element 42 has on its inner side (= the closure cap side facing) at the two longitudinal edges each have a profile rail 44 which in corresponding

Recesses 48 (grooves) of the cap 7 are guided. The profile of the profiled rail 44 here has a taper, which is encompassed by the profiled rail 44, in particular a form-fitting manner, so that the profiled rail 44 can not be pulled out of the recess 48 as is normal to its longitudinal extent. Likewise, the longitudinal edges of the closure elements 42 in FIG. 16 and the transverse edges of the closure element 42 in FIG. 17 could be guided and sealed.

Since the recesses 48 of the lateral surface of the

Cap 7 are offset away inwards, the

Outer surface of the closure element 42 flush with the

Close the lateral surface.

The rails 44 and recesses 48 seal the access 12 liquid-tight at the longitudinal edges of the

Closing element 42, in Fig. 22 it can be seen that the upper transverse edge of the closure element 42 arranged by means of a on the cap 7, in the circumferential direction

extending sealing bead 49 is sealed, which - in particular a form-fitting - engages in a corresponding recess on the upper transverse edge of the closure element 42. The lower transverse edge of the closure element 42 is sealed in the same way. Likewise, the transverse edges of the

Closing element 42 in Fig. 16 and the longitudinal edges of the closure element 42 are sealed in Fig. 17.

In all embodiments of Figs. 16-23, stops or the like may be provided to prevent the closure member 42 from sliding off the closure cap.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 18-23 are the

Receiving element 1 and the retaining element 41 integral with the cap 7 and made of plastic. In principle, it would be possible in all embodiments of FIGS. 1-13 and 16-23 that the dispensing body is not inserted directly through the access 12 into the receiving volume 20, but is inserted into a removable (eg, pull-out, similar to a tray) storage element, which can be introduced through the access 12 in the receiving volume 20 and also removed therefrom. The storage element can come to rest on the receiving element 1 or replace it.
