Closure to be pressed and latched onto a container

Abstract

Based on an objective of configuring and refining a closure in such a way that a stopper accommodated in the cap is secured therein so that it cannot fall out and so that it can be cleaned or sterilized without any problem together with the container, with the substance contained therein and with the cap, a closure for a container, includes a cap, the cap forming an interior space into which a stopper can be inserted in the axial direction in order to seal the container, and the cap having holding members that protrude into the interior space, is characterized in that the holding members latch the stopper in such a way that the latter is affixed in a prescribed position in the axial direction.

1 . A closure for a container, comprising:
 a cap, said cap forming an interior space into which a stopper can be inserted in an axial direction in order to seal the container, said cap having holding members that protrude into the interior space, the holding members latching the stopper in such a way that the stopper is affixed in a prescribed position in the axial direction.   
   
   
       2 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the holding members include tabs elastically coupled to the inside of the cap. 
   
   
       3 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the holding members include at least two tabs at equal distances along the circumference of the inside of the cap. 
   
   
       4 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap includes at least one spacer that protrudes into the interior space and cooperates with the holding members during the axial fixation of the stopper. 
   
   
       5 . The closure according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one spacer includes nubs protruding from an inside of the cap into the interior space in the axial direction. 
   
   
       6 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap is latched to the stopper, the stopper having a sealing section and an upper section wider than the sealing section. 
   
   
       7 . The closure according to  claim 6 , wherein the upper section is located between the holding members and the spacers, the holding members engaging behind the upper section and the sealing section protruding axially. 
   
   
       8 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopper has a sealing section whose outer circumference has a slit-shaped cutout creating a passage. 
   
   
       9 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein on an inside of the cap the clamping members engage behind an edge of the container so as to latch. 
   
   
       10 . The closure according to  claim 9 , wherein the clamping members are tabs elastically coupled to the inside of the cap. 
   
   
       11 . The closure according to  claim 9 , wherein along a circumference of the inside of the cap, at least two tabs are arranged at equal distances as the clamping members. 
   
   
       12 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein on an inside of the cap the clamping elements are configured as axially oriented webs protruding into the interior space. 
   
   
       13 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap includes a tamper-proof closure detachably coupled to the cap in order to free a puncture site for an injection syringe. 
   
   
       14 . The closure according to  claim 13 , wherein the cap has a support element for pretensioning a grip section of the tamper-proof closure. 
   
   
       15 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap has first cap openings that pass through an outer circumference of the cap. 
   
   
       16 . The closure according to  claim 15 , wherein a grip section of the closure protrudes into one of the first cap openings, the closure being tamper-proof. 
   
   
       17 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap has second cap openings that pass through the lid of the cap. 
   
   
       18 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap is made of plastic. 
   
   
       19 . A container closed by a closure comprising: a container and the closure according to  claim 1 .
