Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container and a method for at least partially removing a substance from such a container.
  • a container according to the introductory part of independent claim 1 is known from WO 98/40703 A1 known.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a container that is confusingly connected to a corresponding connection. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for at least partially removing a substance from such a container.
  • the container may be rigid or flexible.
  • the first fitting part forms a key-lock principle with the second fitting part, so that the connection of the correct connection device to the opening of the container is ensured.
  • a mechanical coding of Opening provided relative to the connection device. Even ignoring a color coding can thus not lead to the arrangement of a wrong connection device to the opening of a container, since only the correctly associated connection device can be inserted and fastened in the opening.
  • a particularly reliable mechanical coding is achieved in that the first fitting part is arranged in the circumferential direction of the connecting device completely positive fit on the second fitting part.
  • the connecting device can have a longitudinal axis, from which the first fitting part extends radially, wherein the circumferential direction can be defined as perpendicular to this radial direction.
  • the first fitting part may be in the form of a projection, in particular in the form of a rib.
  • the first fitting part may be formed in the form of a plurality of projections.
  • the first fitting part is in the form of two or three or more protrusions.
  • the second fitting part can be designed in the form of a recess.
  • the second fitting part may be in the form of a plurality of recesses.
  • the second fitting part is in the form of two or three recesses.

  • the container body may be in the form of a canister, in particular in the form of a plastic canister.
  • the container may alternatively be in the form of a "bag in box", a bottle, a keg, an "intermediate bulk container (IBC)" or the like.
  • the opening is formed in a cap of the container.
  • the container body may in this case have a standardized DIN mouth on which the cap is placed.
  • the cap can be arranged on the container body via a screw connection.
  • the cap is not tool-free (not manually) detachable from the container body.
  • the fixed assignment of the cap and container body is preferably carried out via a non-tool-free detachable from the cap ring, which engages behind the container body in sections.
  • the cap is preferably not unscrewable from the container body. If the cap is not detachable from the container body tool-free, a user of the container is forced to use a suitable for the second fitting part connecting device for contacting the container.

  • the tamper-evident closure is preferably designed such that a user must partially remove the tamper-evident closure before inserting the connection device into the opening. A part of the tamper-evident closure remains on the cap to document that the container is no longer originally sealed.
  • the connecting device has a plug-shaped insertion body.
  • the container can be designed in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner.
  • the first fitting part may be formed on the insertion body.
  • the first fitting part is preferably formed axially symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the insertion.
  • the connecting device has a locking ring which can be moved relative to the insertion body and clamps the insertion body in the opening.
  • the locking ring can be pivotable about its longitudinal axis for bracing the insertion body.
  • the locking ring may in this case have a threaded connection to the insertion body to secure the insertion body by a partial rotation of the locking ring in the opening.
  • the first fitting part is formed on the locking ring.
  • the first fitting part may be formed on the insertion body and / or on the locking ring.
  • the insertion body may have a ventilation passage for aeration of the container interior. This ensures a reliable and uniform removal of the substance from the container interior.
  • the bracing is preferably carried out by pivoting the locking ring about its longitudinal axis.
