- the sealing element of the third connection device has a slot opening which makes it possible to attach a conveying device, for example a syringe, to the sealing element with a —needeless — connecting piece in order to open the sealing element and in this way to supply a liquid to the container.
- a sealing element is provided which is convex on the outside.
- Legal requirements may make it necessary to wipe or dab the outside of the sealing element before disassembling a conveying device, for example an injection syringe for supplying a medical liquid or an infusion set for removing a medical liquid.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a closure cap in which the disinfection of a sealing element arranged thereon is simplified.
- the closure cap according to the invention closes access to a container.
- the cap closes the opening in the bottle neck of a bottle.
- the sealing element is convex on its outside.
- the outer side of the sealing element protrudes outwards from an upper side of the cap body.
- the sealing element is convex on the outside, it can be ensured that after wiping or dabbing no disinfectant liquid remains on the sealing element, but can be removed in a reliable, simple manner by wiping or dabbing. Because the outside of the sealing element protrudes outwards from an upper side of the cap body, the sealing element can be easily accessed by wiping along the upper side with a suitable disinfection tool, for example a swab or a wiping cloth, in this way dab or wipe the outside of the sealing element.

- the outside of the sealing element corresponds to the side of the sealing element that is visible from the outside and to which a conveying device, for example an injection syringe or an infusion set or also another conveying device, can be attached.
- the outside is thus accessible from the outside in order to connect a conveyor to the closure cap.
- the sealing element has a central thickness of 2 mm to 8 mm and / or an overall diameter of 4 mm to 14 mm.
- the outside projecting is part of a sealing head of the sealing element, which extends through the opening.
- the sealing element lies with its sealing head in the opening and closes the opening in this way, the outside formed on the sealing head pointing outwards and thus facing away from the interior of the closure cap.
- the sealing head has a diameter of 2 mm to 10 mm.
- the central region of the sealing head for providing the convex outside preferably has a thickness which is 0.1 to 1 mm greater than the edge region of the sealing head.
- a center of the convex outside of the sealing element is preferably 0.1 to 1 mm, preferably 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm, above an outer upper edge of a sealing head of the sealing element. This improves the accessibility to the outside of the sealing element.
- a break-off piece is connected to the cap body in such a way that the sealing element is completely covered on the outside.
- the break-off piece encloses the outside of the sealing element and thus closes the outside from the outside, so that no dirt in the form of solid or liquid contaminants can get onto the outside.
- the break-off piece is integral, that is to say in one piece, connected to the closure cap.

Zum Entnehmen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit aus dem Behältnis kann hingegen beispielsweise ein Infusionsbesteck verwendet werden, das mit einem Dorn, der auch als Spike bezeichnet wird, so an das Dichtelement angesetzt wird, dass das Dichtelement von dem Dorn durchstochen und somit ein Zugang zu dem Behältnis geschaffen wird.Such a conveying device can be configured, for example, as an injection syringe, which can be attached to the sealing element with an injection cannula and inserted into the sealing element in an attachment direction, so that the sealing element is pierced by the injection cannula. Such an injection syringe is used in particular to supply a medical liquid into the container. To remove a medical fluid from the container, however, an infusion set can be used, for example, which is attached to the sealing element with a mandrel, which is also referred to as a spike, in such a way that the sealing element is pierced by the mandrel and thus creates access to the container becomes.

Gesetzliche Anforderungen können es erforderlich machen, das Dichtelement an seiner Außenseite vor dem Ansetzen einer Fördereinrichtung, beispielsweise einer Injektionsspritze zum Zuführen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit oder eines Infusionsbestecks zum Entnehmen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit, zum Desinfizieren abzuwischen oder abzutupfen.Legal requirements may make it necessary to wipe or dab the outside of the sealing element before disassembling a conveying device, for example an injection syringe for supplying a medical liquid or an infusion set for removing a medical liquid.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Verschlusskappe bereitzustellen, in der das Desinfizieren eines daran angeordneten Dichtelements vereinfacht wird.The object of the present invention is to provide a closure cap in which the disinfection of a sealing element arranged thereon is simplified.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Gegenstand mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe verschließt einen Zugang zu einem Behältnis. Beispielsweise verschließt die Verschlusskappe die Öffnung im Flaschenhals einer Flasche.This object is achieved by an object with the features of
Demnach ist das Dichtelement an seiner Außenseite konvex ausgebildet.Accordingly, the sealing element is convex on its outside.
Das Dichtelement steht hierbei mit seiner Außenseite gegenüber einer Oberseite des Kappenkörpers nach außen hin vor.The outer side of the sealing element protrudes outwards from an upper side of the cap body.
Weil das Dichtelement an seiner Außenseite konvex ausgebildet ist, kann sichergestellt werden, dass nach dem Abwischen oder Abtupfen keine Desinfektionsflüssigkeit auf dem Dichtelement verbleibt, sondern in zuverlässiger, einfacher Weise durch Abwischen oder Abtupfen entfernt werden kann. Weil das Dichtelement mit seiner Außenseite gegenüber einer Oberseite des Kappenkörpers nach außen hin vorsteht, so kann ohne weiteres auf das Dichtelement zugegriffen werden, indem mit einem geeigneten Desinfektionswerkzeug, beispielsweise einem Tupfer oder einem Wischtuch, an der Oberseite entlang gestrichen wird, um auf diese Weise das Dichtelement an seiner Außenseite abzutupfen oder abzuwischen.Because the sealing element is convex on the outside, it can be ensured that after wiping or dabbing no disinfectant liquid remains on the sealing element, but can be removed in a reliable, simple manner by wiping or dabbing. Because the outside of the sealing element protrudes outwards from an upper side of the cap body, the sealing element can be easily accessed by wiping along the upper side with a suitable disinfection tool, for example a swab or a wiping cloth, in this way dab or wipe the outside of the sealing element.
Die Außenseite des Dichtelements entspricht der Seite des Dichtelements, die von außen sichtbar ist und an die eine Fördereinrichtung, beispielsweise eine Injektionsspritze oder ein Infusionsbesteck oder auch eine andere Fördereinrichtung, angesetzt werden kann. Die Außenseite ist somit von außen zugänglich, um eine Fördereinrichtung an die Verschlusskappe anzuschließen. In einer Ausführungsform besitzt das Dichtelement eine zentrale Dicke von 2 mm bis 8 mm und/oder einen Gesamtdurchmesser von 4 mm bis 14 mm.The outside of the sealing element corresponds to the side of the sealing element that is visible from the outside and to which a conveying device, for example an injection syringe or an infusion set or also another conveying device, can be attached. The outside is thus accessible from the outside in order to connect a conveyor to the closure cap. In one embodiment, the sealing element has a central thickness of 2 mm to 8 mm and / or an overall diameter of 4 mm to 14 mm.
Die nach außen vorstehende Außenseite ist in einer anderen Lösung Bestandteil eines Dichtkopfs des Dichtelements, der sich durch die Öffnung hindurcherstreckt. Das Dichtelement liegt mit seinem Dichtkopf in der Öffnung ein und verschließt auf diese Weise die Öffnung, wobei die an dem Dichtkopf ausgebildete Außenseite nach außen weist und somit dem Innenraum der Verschlusskappe abgewandt ist. In einer Ausführungsform besitzt der Dichtkopf einen Durchmesser von 2 mm bis 10 mm. Vorzugsweise besitzt der zentrale Bereich des Dichtkopfs zur Bereitstellung der konvexen Außenseite eine um 0,1 bis 1 mm größere Dicke als der Randbereich des Dichtkopfs. Vorzugsweise liegt ein Zentrum der konvexen Außenseite des Dichtelements 0,1 bis 1 mm, vorzugsweise 0,3 mm bis 0,7 mm, oberhalb einer äußeren oberen Kante eines Dichtkopfs des Dichtelements. Dadurch wird die Zugänglichkeit zur Außenseite des Dichtelements verbessert.In another solution, the outside projecting is part of a sealing head of the sealing element, which extends through the opening. The sealing element lies with its sealing head in the opening and closes the opening in this way, the outside formed on the sealing head pointing outwards and thus facing away from the interior of the closure cap. In one embodiment, the sealing head has a diameter of 2 mm to 10 mm. The central region of the sealing head for providing the convex outside preferably has a thickness which is 0.1 to 1 mm greater than the edge region of the sealing head. A center of the convex outside of the sealing element is preferably 0.1 to 1 mm, preferably 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm, above an outer upper edge of a sealing head of the sealing element. This improves the accessibility to the outside of the sealing element.
In einem Ausgangszustand ist ein Abbrechstück derart mit dem Kappenkörper verbunden, dass das Dichtelement nach außen hin vollständig abgedeckt ist. Das Abbrechstück umschließt hierbei die Außenseite des Dichtelements und schließt die Außenseite somit nach außen hin ab, so dass kein Schmutz in Form von festen oder flüssigen Verunreinigungen auf die Außenseite gelangen kann.In an initial state, a break-off piece is connected to the cap body in such a way that the sealing element is completely covered on the outside. The break-off piece encloses the outside of the sealing element and thus closes the outside from the outside, so that no dirt in the form of solid or liquid contaminants can get onto the outside.
Das Abbrechstück ist in dem Ausgangszustand integral, also einstückig, mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden. Die Verschlusskappe kann hierbei beispielsweise zusammen mit dem Abbrechstück als Kunststoffformteil, beispielsweise mittels Kunststoffspritzgießen, hergestellt sein. Das Abbrechstück ist über eine Sollbruchstelle mit dem Kappenkörper verbunden derart, dass das Abbrechstück entlang der Sollbruchstelle von dem Kappenkörper getrennt, insbesondere abgebrochen werden kann, um das Abbrechstück von dem Kappenkörper zu entfernen.In the initial state, the break-off piece is integral, that is to say in one piece, connected to the closure cap. The closure cap can, for example, be produced together with the break-off piece as a molded plastic part, for example by means of plastic injection molding. The break-off piece is connected to the cap body via a predetermined breaking point in such a way that the break-off piece can be separated from the cap body along the predetermined breaking point, in particular broken off, in order to remove the break-off piece from the cap body.
Die Sollbruchstelle läuft in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung um die Öffnung um, so dass das Abbrechstück entlang einer um die Öffnung umlaufenden Verbindungslinie mit dem Kappenkörper verbunden ist und entlang dieser Verbindungslinie von dem Kappenkörper getrennt werden kann, um das Dichtelement freizugeben und eine Fördereinrichtung an die Außenseite des Dichtelements ansetzen zu können.In an advantageous embodiment, the predetermined breaking point runs around the opening, so that the break-off piece is connected to the cap body along a connecting line running around the opening and can be separated from the cap body along this connecting line in order to release the sealing element and a conveying device to the outside of the To be able to attach sealing element.
In einer Ausführungsform wird ein Innenraum oder Raum zwischen dem Abbrechstück und der Außenseite des Dichtelements steril bereitgestellt. Somit ist die Außenseite des Dichtelements bereits in dem Zustand, in dem das Abbrechstück noch mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden ist, steril. Ein Desinfizieren der Außenseite des Dichtelements nach dem Entfernen des Abbrechstücks und vor dem Ansetzen einer Fördereinrichtung, insbesondere mittels Abwischen oder Abtupfen, ist in diesem Fall nicht mehr erforderlich. Wenn aber beispielsweise gesetzliche Anforderungen ein solches Desinfizieren erforderlich machen, kann dieses zusätzliche Desinfizieren insbesondere durch die konvexe Außenseite des Dichtelements einfacher durchgeführt werden.In one embodiment, an interior or space between the break-off piece and the outside of the sealing element is provided sterile. The outside of the sealing element is thus already sterile in the state in which the break-off piece is still connected to the closure cap. Disinfecting the outside of the sealing element after removing the break-off piece and before attaching a conveyor, in particular by wiping or dabbing, is no longer necessary in this case. However, if, for example, legal requirements make such disinfection necessary, this additional disinfection can be carried out more easily, in particular by the convex outside of the sealing element.
Die Verschlusskappe kann, in einer konkreten Ausgestaltung, beispielsweise eine erste Anschlusseinrichtung zum Entnehmen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit und eine zweite Anschlusseinrichtung zum Zuführen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit aufweisen. An der Verschlusskappe sind somit zwei Anschlusseinrichtungen vorgesehen, von denen eine insbesondere zum Entnehmen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit und von denen die andere insbesondere zum Zuführen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit ausgestaltet ist.In a specific embodiment, the closure cap can have, for example, a first connection device for removing a medical liquid and a second connection device for supplying a medical liquid. At the The closure cap is thus provided with two connection devices, one of which is designed, in particular, for removing a medical liquid and of which the other is designed in particular for supplying a medical liquid.
Die Anschlusseinrichtungen können hierbei unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein, um das Anschließen unterschiedlicher Fördereinrichtungen, beispielsweise einer Injektionsspritze oder eines Infusionsbestecks, zu ermöglichen. Denkbar und möglich ist aber auch, die Anschlusseinrichtungen konstruktiv gleich auszugestalten und insbesondere gleiche Dichtelemente an den Anschlusseinrichtungen zu verwenden.The connection devices can be designed differently in order to enable the connection of different delivery devices, for example an injection syringe or an infusion set. It is also conceivable and possible, however, to design the connection devices identically and in particular to use the same sealing elements on the connection devices.
In einer ersten Variante kann jede Anschlusseinrichtung ein Dichtelement aufweisen, wobei die Dichtelemente der Anschlusseinrichtungen identisch ausgebildet sind. An den Anschlusseinrichtungen werden somit gleiche Dichtelemente verwendet, wobei an den Anschlusseinrichtungen baugleiche Halteeinrichtungen, beispielsweise in Form von an der Verschlusskappe vorgesehenen Aussparungen zur Aufnahme der Dichtelemente, vorgesehen sein können. Dies vereinfacht die Bauform der Verschlusskappe insgesamt, weil gleiche Teile zur Herstellung der Anschlusseinrichtungen verwendet werden können.In a first variant, each connection device can have a sealing element, the sealing elements of the connection devices being of identical design. The same sealing elements are thus used on the connection devices, it being possible for identical holding devices to be provided on the connection devices, for example in the form of cutouts provided on the closure cap for receiving the sealing elements. This simplifies the overall design of the closure cap because the same parts can be used to manufacture the connection devices.
Beispielsweise kann jedes Dichtelement in dieser Variante einen Dichtkopf, der die Außenseite ausbildet, und einen an den Dichtkopf anschließenden Dichtkörper aufweisen. Der Dichtkörper kann über einen umfänglich umlaufenden Flansch mit einem Ringbund verbunden sein, wobei über diesen Ringbund eine klemmende Verbindung mit der Verschlusskappe hergestellt wird. Beispielsweise kann der Ringbund in einer zugeordneten Aussparung der Verschlusskappe einliegen und dort klemmend gehalten werden, so dass über den Ringbund das Dichtelement mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden ist. Vorzugsweise wird das Dichtelement über einen Bördelrand klemmend gehalten.For example, each sealing element in this variant can have a sealing head, which forms the outside, and a sealing body adjoining the sealing head. The sealing body can be connected to an annular collar by means of a circumferential circumferential flange, a clamping connection with the closure cap being produced via this annular collar. For example, the collar can lie in an associated recess of the closure cap and can be held there by clamping, so that the sealing element is connected to the closure cap via the collar. The sealing element is preferably held in a clamping manner via a flanged edge.
Zum Anschließen einer Fördereinrichtung kann eine Injektionskanüle oder ein Dorn der Fördereinrichtung an die Außenseite des Dichtelements angesetzt werden, um das Dichtelement zu durchstechen. Hierbei wird das Dichtelement beiseite gedrängt, wobei der Ringbund an der zugeordneten Halteeinrichtung der Verschlusskappe verbleibt und somit das Dichtelement an der Verschlusskappe in Position gehalten wird. Wird die Fördereinrichtung wiederum von der Verschlusskappe entnommen, so schließt sich das Dichtelement selbsttätig, so dass die Öffnung der Verschlusskappe wiederum gegen einen Flüssigkeitsdurchtritt, insbesondere ein Auslaufen von Flüssigkeit aus dem Behältnis heraus, abgedichtet ist. Das Dichtelement ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ein wiederverschließbares Dichtelement. Gegebenenfalls kann das Dichtelement, insbesondere das Dichtelement zum Anschließen eines Dorns, zumindest abschnittweise oder durchgehend geschlitzt sein.To connect a delivery device, an injection cannula or a mandrel of the delivery device can be attached to the outside of the sealing element in order to pierce the sealing element. In this case, the sealing element is pushed aside, the annular collar remaining on the associated holding device of the closure cap and the sealing element thus being held in position on the closure cap. If the conveying device is again removed from the closure cap, the sealing element closes automatically, so that the opening of the closure cap is in turn sealed against liquid passage, in particular leakage of liquid out of the container. The sealing element is in a preferred Embodiment a reclosable sealing element. If necessary, the sealing element, in particular the sealing element for connecting a mandrel, can be slotted at least in sections or continuously.
In einer zweiten Variante können die Dichtelemente der Anschlusseinrichtungen auch unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Ein Dichtelement kann hierbei insbesondere zum Ansetzen einer Injektionsspritze ausgebildet sein, während das andere Dichtelement insbesondere für ein Ansetzen eines Dorns eines Infusionsbestecks oder dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Die Dichtelemente können somit in besonderer Weise beispielsweise hinsichtlich ihrer zu durchstechenden Dicke angepasst sein, um ein günstiges Anschließen einer Injektionsspritze oder eines Infusionsbestecks oder dergleichen zu ermöglichen.In a second variant, the sealing elements of the connection devices can also be designed differently. One sealing element can be designed in particular for attaching an injection syringe, while the other sealing element is designed in particular for attaching a mandrel to an infusion set or the like. The sealing elements can thus be adapted in a special way, for example with regard to their thickness to be pierced, in order to enable an inexpensive connection of an injection syringe or an infusion set or the like.
Das Dichtelement der ersten Anschlusseinrichtung, die beispielsweise zum Entnehmen einer medizinischen Flüssigkeit mittels eines Infusionsbestecks dient, kann hierbei wie oben für die erste Variante beschrieben ausgestaltet sein und insbesondere einen Dichtkopf, der die Außenseite ausbildet, und einen an den Dichtkopf anschließenden Dichtkörper aufweisen. Der Dichtkörper ist über einen umfänglich umlaufenden Flansch mit einem Ringbund verbunden und über den Ringbund an einer ersten Halteeinrichtung des Kappenkörpers gehalten. Über den Ringbund wird somit eine Verbindung des Dichtelements mit dem Kappenkörper hergestellt, so dass über den Ringbund das Dichtelement an der Öffnung des Kappenkörpers in Position gehalten wird. Der Dichtkörper ist beispielsweise von einem Dorn einer Fördereinrichtung zu durchstechen, wobei bei Ansetzen und Einstechen des Dorns der Dichtkörper beiseite gedrängt wird, das Dichtelement insgesamt über dem Ringbund aber in Position an dem Kappenkörper der Verschlusskappe gehalten wird.The sealing element of the first connection device, which is used, for example, to remove a medical fluid by means of an infusion set, can be configured as described above for the first variant and in particular can have a sealing head that forms the outside and a sealing body that connects to the sealing head. The sealing body is connected to an annular collar via a circumferential circumferential flange and is held by the annular collar on a first holding device of the cap body. A connection of the sealing element to the cap body is thus established via the ring collar, so that the sealing element is held in position at the opening of the cap body via the ring collar. The sealing body is to be pierced, for example, by a mandrel of a conveying device, the sealing body being pushed aside when the mandrel is attached and inserted, the sealing element as a whole being held in position on the cap body of the closure cap over the annular collar.
Das Dichtelement der zweiten Anschlusseinrichtung kann demgegenüber einen Dichtkopf, der die Außenseite ausbildet, und einen an den Dichtkopf anschließenden Dichtkörper aufweisen. Der Dichtkörper ist hierbei nicht über einen umlaufenden, über einen Flansch angebundenen Ringbund an einer Halteeinrichtung des Kappenkörpers festgelegt, sondern wird unmittelbar über einen Randabschnitt an einer zweiten Halteeinrichtung des Kappenkörpers gehalten. Auf diese Weise kann dieses zweite Dichtelement insbesondere zum Durchstechen mittels einer Injektionskanüle ausgestaltet sein. Weil eine solche Injektionskanüle einen vergleichsweise kleinen Querschnitt aufweist, kommt es beim Einstechen der Injektionskanüle zu einer geringeren Verformung an dem Dichtelement im Vergleich zum Einstechen eines Dorn beispielsweise eines Infusionsbestecks.In contrast, the sealing element of the second connection device can have a sealing head which forms the outside and a sealing body which adjoins the sealing head. In this case, the sealing body is not fixed to a holding device of the cap body by means of a circumferential ring collar connected via a flange, but is held directly to a second holding device of the cap body via an edge section. In this way, this second sealing element can be designed in particular for piercing by means of an injection cannula. Because such an injection cannula has a comparatively small cross-section, there is a smaller one when the injection cannula is inserted Deformation on the sealing element compared to the insertion of a mandrel, for example an infusion set.
Die Dichtelemente der unterschiedlichen Anschlusseinrichtungen können bei dieser Variante insbesondere in ihrer Dicke unterschiedlich sein, um die Anschlusseinrichtungen den unterschiedlichen Fördereinrichtung anzupassen. Das zweite Dichtelement, das zum Ansetzen einer Injektionskanüle einer Injektionsspritze dienen kann, kann insbesondere eine größere Dicke als das erste Dichtelement aufweisen, das beispielsweise zum Ansetzen eines Dorns eines Infusionsbestecks angepasst ist. Vorzugsweise besitzt das erste Dichtelement eine zentrale Dicke von 2 mm bis 8 mm, bevorzugt von 3 mm bis 6 mm. Vorzugsweise besitzt das zweite Dichtelement eine zentrale Dicke von 2 mm bis 8 mm, bevorzugt von 3 mm bis 7 mm.In this variant, the sealing elements of the different connection devices can differ in particular in their thickness in order to adapt the connection devices to the different conveying devices. The second sealing element, which can be used to attach an injection cannula to an injection syringe, can in particular have a greater thickness than the first sealing element, which is adapted, for example, to attach a mandrel to an infusion set. The first sealing element preferably has a central thickness of 2 mm to 8 mm, preferably 3 mm to 6 mm. The second sealing element preferably has a central thickness of 2 mm to 8 mm, preferably 3 mm to 7 mm.
Die Dichtelemente können eine zumindest näherungsweise rotationssymmetrische Form aufweisen. Beispielsweise können der Dichtkopf und der Dichtkörper jeweils zumindest näherungsweise zylindrisch ausgebildet sein, wobei die Außenseite des Dichtkopfes, die nach außen hin weist, konvex ausgebildet ist.The sealing elements can have an at least approximately rotationally symmetrical shape. For example, the sealing head and the sealing body can each be at least approximately cylindrical, the outside of the sealing head, which points outwards, being convex.
In einer Ausführungsform ist die Unterseite des ersten und/oder des zweiten Dichtelements, welche die Innenseite bereitstellt, im Wesentlichen eben. In dem ersten Dichtelement liegt die Oberseite des Ringbunds tiefer als die Oberseite des Dichtkopfs und/oder liegt die Unterseite des Ringbunds tiefer als die Unterseite des Dichtkörpers. Vorzugsweise besitzt das erste Dichtelement einen Gesamtdurchmesser von 8 mm bis 14 mm, bevorzugt von 10 mm bis 12 mm. Vorzugsweise besitzt das zweite Dichtelement einen Gesamtdurchmesser von 4 mm bis 11 mm, bevorzugt von 6 mm bis 9 mm. In einer Ausführungsform besitzt der Dichtkopf des ersten Dichtelements einen Durchmesser von 4 mm bis 10 mm, bevorzugt von 6 mm bis 8 mm und/oder der Dichtkopf des zweiten Dichtelements einen Durchmesser von 2 mm bis 8 mm, bevorzugt von 3 mm bis 6 mm.In one embodiment, the underside of the first and / or the second sealing element, which provides the inside, is essentially flat. In the first sealing element, the top of the collar is lower than the top of the sealing head and / or the bottom of the collar is lower than the bottom of the sealing body. The first sealing element preferably has a total diameter of 8 mm to 14 mm, preferably 10 mm to 12 mm. The second sealing element preferably has a total diameter of 4 mm to 11 mm, preferably of 6 mm to 9 mm. In one embodiment, the sealing head of the first sealing element has a diameter of 4 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 6 mm to 8 mm and / or the sealing head of the second sealing element has a diameter of 2 mm to 8 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 6 mm.
Weiterhin liegt im Bereich der Erfindung auch eine Flasche, welche eine vorstehend beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Verschlusskappe umfasst. Die Flasche kann zum Beispiel mittels SBM (Stretch-Blow-Moulding) oder BFS (Blow-Fill-Seal) hergestellt sein. Die Flasche und die Verschlusskappe können insbesondere mittels Klemmen, Kleben und/oder Schweißen miteinander verbunden sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Flasche befüllt mit einer Infusionslösung.Furthermore, the scope of the invention also includes a bottle which comprises a closure cap according to the invention described above. The bottle can be made, for example, using SBM (stretch blow molding) or BFS (blow fill seal). The bottle and the closure cap can be connected to one another in particular by means of clamping, gluing and / or welding. The bottle is preferably filled with an infusion solution.

Weil der Dorn 61 der Entnahmeeinrichtung 6 einen vergleichsweise großen Querschnitt aufweist, ist auch die zugeordnete Öffnung 321 der Anschlusseinrichtung 3 vergleichsweise groß, und entsprechend weist das in seiner Grundform rotationssymmetrische Dichtelement 31 einen Dichtkopf 310 mit vergleichsweise großem Durchmesser auf.

Das erste Dichtelement 31 weist einen Dichtkopf 310 mit einer nach außen weisenden, konvexen Außenseite 311 auf. An den Dichtkopf 310 schließt - rückwärtig der Außenseite 311 - ein Dichtkörper 312 an, der über einen umlaufenden Flansch 313 mit einem ebenfalls umfänglich umlaufenden Ringbund 314 verbunden ist. Über den Ringbund 314 liegt das Dichtelement 31 in einer Öffnung 320 der Halteeinrichtung 32 ein und wird darüber klemmend an der Halteeinrichtung 32 gehalten. Eine Unterseite 315 des Dichtelements 31 weist hin in einen Innenraum 20 der Verschlusskappe 2 (siehe z.B.
Das andere, zweite Dichtelement 41 weist ebenfalls eine rotationssymmetrische Form auf und besteht aus einem Dichtkopf 410, an den rückwärtig einer konvex gekrümmten Außenseite 411 ein zylindrischer Dichtkörper 412 anschließt. Über diesen zylindrischen Dichtkörper 412 ist das Dichtelement 41 unmittelbar in einer Öffnung 420 der zugeordneten, zweiten Halteeinrichtung 42 festgelegt, indem ein Randabschnitt 413 des Dichtelements 41 klemmend in der Öffnung 420 der Halteeinrichtung 42 gehalten ist.

Weil die Dichtelemente 31, 41 an ihren Außenseiten 311, 411 konvex gekrümmt sind und zudem über die Oberseite 21 des Kappenkörpers 20 nach außen hin vorstehen, können die Dichtelement 31, 41 in günstiger Weise zum Zwecke der Desinfektion abgetupft oder abgewischt werden, wie dies gegebenenfalls durch gesetzliche Anforderungen vorgegeben sein kann. Insbesondere kann aufgrund der Formgebung der Dichtelemente 31, 41 an ihren Außenseiten 311, 411 gewährleistet werden, dass die Außenseiten 311, 411 durch ein geeignetes Desinfektionswerkzeug, beispielsweise einen Tupfer oder ein Wischtuch, erreicht werden können, wobei zusätzlich aufgrund der konvexen Krümmung sichergestellt ist, dass eine Desinfektionsflüssigkeit oder andere Rückstände nach dem Abtupfen oder Abwischen nicht auf der Außenseite 311, 411 verbleibt, sondern die Dichtelement 31, 41 in günstiger Weise abgewischt werden können.

Soll eine Fördereinrichtung 5, 6 an eine zugeordnete Anschlusseinrichtung 3, 4 angesetzt werden, so wird das jeweilige Abbrechstück 30, 40 von dem Kappenkörper 20 entfernt, indem ein Nutzer das Abbrechstück 30, 40 zwischen seinen Fingern greift und von dem Kappenkörper 20 entlang der Sollbruchstelle 300, 400 abbricht. Auf diese Weise wird das jeweilige Dichtelement 31, 41 frei gelegt, so dass die Fördereinrichtung 5, 6 an die Außenseite 311, 411 des Dichtelements 31, 41 angesetzt werden kann (siehe
Mittels eines geeigneten Einstechwerkzeugs wird nunmehr das Dichtelement 31, 41 durchstochen, so dass eine Strömungsverbindung zwischen einem Körper 50, 60 der jeweiligen Fördereinrichtung 5, 6 und dem Inneren des Behältnisses 1 geschaffen wird, so dass eine medizinische Flüssigkeit in das Behältnis 1 eingefüllt oder aus dem Behältnis 1 entnommen werden kann.The sealing
Die Verschlusskappe 2 kann mit ihrem Kappenkörper 20 vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff beispielsweise mittels Kunststoffspritzgießen hergestellt sein. Die Abbrechstück 30, 40 der Anschlusseinrichtungen 3, 4 werden hierbei zunächst einstückig mit dem Kappenkörper geformt und können zum Zugreifen auf eins der Dichtelemente 31, 41 vom Kappenkörper 20 abgebrochen werden.With its

Sowohl zum Entnehmen als auch zum Einfüllen kann hierbei eine Fördereinrichtung 5 in Form einer Injektionsspritze mit einer Injektionskanüle oder eine Fördereinrichtung mit einem Dorn verwendet werden.A
Ansonsten ist das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Gedanke ist nicht auf die vorangehend geschilderten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, sondern lässt sich grundsätzlich auch in gänzlich anders gearteten Ausführungsformen verwirklichen.The idea on which the invention is based is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described above, but can in principle also be implemented in completely different embodiments.
Dadurch, dass die nach außen weisende Außenseite der Dichtelemente konvex ausgebildet ist und über eine Vorderseite des Kappenkörpers der Verschlusskappe nach außen hin vorsteht (wenn die Abbrechstücke der Anschlusseinrichtungen entfernt sind), können die Dichtelemente an ihren Außenseiten in leichter, effektiver Weise zum Zwecke der Desinfektion abgewischt oder abgetupft werden.Due to the fact that the outward-facing outer side of the sealing elements is convex and protrudes outwards over a front side of the cap body of the closure cap (when the break-off pieces of the connection devices are removed), the outer side of the sealing elements can be disinfected more easily and effectively be wiped or dabbed off.
Grundsätzlich kann eine Verschlusskappe auch nur eine Anschlusseinrichtung mit einem Dichtelement oder mehr als zwei Anschlusseinrichtungen mit jeweils einem Dichtelement aufweisen.In principle, a closure cap can also have only one connection device with a sealing element or more than two connection devices, each with a sealing element.
Ebenso ist grundsätzlich denkbar, dass nur ein Dichtelement von mehreren Dichtelementen mehrerer Anschlussrichtungen an seiner Außenseite konvex gekrümmt ausgebildet ist.It is also fundamentally conceivable that only one sealing element of several sealing elements of several connection directions is convexly curved on its outside.
