Abstract

The invention relates to a closure device ( 1 ) for a container ( 2 ) comprising a container opening ( 3 ), wherein the closure device ( 1 ) comprises a lid element ( 4 ) for closing the container opening ( 3 ), an inner housing ( 5 ) and a chamber ( 6 ) arranged on the lid element ( 4 ), wherein the chamber ( 6 ) is arranged at least partially in the inner housing ( 5 ), wherein the inner housing ( 5 ) has a first thread ( 10 ) which corresponds positively to a thread ( 10 ) of the container ( 2 ), wherein lid element ( 4 ) and inner housing ( 5 ) have second threads ( 11 ) corresponding positively to one another along which the lid element ( 4 ) is movable relative to the inner housing ( 5 ) from a closed position into a discharge position in which discharge position a medium stored in the chamber ( 6 ) can exit into the container ( 2 ). For the usage-advantageous further development of a closure device of the type in question, it is proposed that the first thread ( 10 ) and the second thread ( 11 ) are configured opposite to one another in such a manner that during a movement into the discharge position the chamber ( 6 ) is moved further into the inner housing ( 5 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A closure device for a container comprising a container opening, comprising:
a lid element for closing the container opening, and an inner housing and a chamber combined with the lid element,
wherein the chamber has a discharge opening closed by a closure element and the inner housing has an opening element to open the closure element, the opening element being configured as a cutting element and having a central through-opening extending through a front side of the opening element,
wherein there is an annular sealing element formed of thermoplastic elastomer fitted in the discharge opening, the annular sealing element being disposed entirely within the discharge opening and disposed on the side of the closure element facing away from the chamber, the sealing element sealing against the opening element,
wherein the closure element is a membrane and is sandwiched directly between a wall of the chamber and the sealing element,
wherein the chamber is arranged at least partially in the inner housing,
wherein the inner housing has a first thread which corresponds positively to a thread of the container,
wherein lid element and inner housing have second threads corresponding positively to one another along which the lid element is movable relative to the inner housing from a closed position into a discharge position in which discharge position a medium stored in the chamber can exit into the container, and
wherein the first thread and the second thread are disposed opposite to one another in such a manner that during a movement into the discharge position the chamber is moved further into the inner housing.

2. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the second thread is configured as a left-hand thread and the first thread is configured as a right-hand thread.

3. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the second thread can be actuated prior to the first thread.

4. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening element is configured as a mandrel disposed inside the annular sealing element.

5. A container having a container opening and the closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the container opening has a first thread which is connected in a positively corresponding manner to the first thread of the inner housing.
