Closure cap for mounting on a liquid container

Abstract

A closure cap, preferably a screw closure cap, for mounting on a liquid container includes at least a preferably recloseable pouring opening, a receiving element for receiving at least one dispensing body, e.g. a tablet, wherein the receiving element is permeable to a liquid so as to allow the at least one dispensing body to come into contact with the liquid, and an opening for introducing the at least one dispensing body into a receiving volume or for removing it from the receiving volume. In an operating state of the closure cap, the receiving element can be brought through the opening both from the receiving volume into a loading position for changing the dispensing body and also into the receiving volume to a dispensing position.

1 - 22 . (canceled) 
     
     
         23 . A closure cap ( 7 ), preferably a screw cap, for mounting on a liquid container, preferably a bottle ( 5 ), more preferably a PET bottle, wherein the closure cap ( 7 ) at least comprises
 a preferably recloseable spout opening ( 9 ),   a receiving element ( 1 ) for receiving at least one dispensing body, preferably at least one tablet ( 2 ), wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) is permeable to a liquid ( 37 ) in order to allow the at least one dispensing body ( 2 ) to come into contact with the liquid ( 37 ),   an opening ( 12 ) for introducing the at least one dispensing body into a receiving volume ( 20 ) or for removing it from the receiving volume ( 20 ), wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) can be actuated in the operating position ( 8 ) of the closure cap ( 7 ) and can be brought through the opening ( 12 ) both from the receiving volume to a loading position for changing the dispensing body and also into the receiving volume to a dispensing position, wherein the opening ( 12 ), which is located laterally on the closure cap ( 7 ), can be sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the receiving element ( 1 ) in the operating position ( 8 ) of the closure cap ( 7 ).   
     
     
         24 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein a liquid-tight region of the receiving element ( 1 ) forms a part of the jacket surface of the closure cap ( 7 ) in the dispensing position of the receiving element. 
     
     
         25 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) is displaceable relative to the closure cap ( 7 ), especially along a straight line. 
     
     
         26 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) is twistable relative to the closure cap ( 7 ). 
     
     
         27 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) comprises through-openings ( 15 ) which are preferably arranged in the manner of a grid or lattice. 
     
     
         28 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the entire receiving element ( 1 ) is arranged in the dispensing position in a volume formed by the closure cap ( 7 ). 
     
     
         29 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) is fixed in the loading position to the closure cap ( 7 ), preferably detachably fastened thereto. 
     
     
         30 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) has a bottom surface ( 16 ) and a jacket surface ( 17 ), wherein through-openings ( 15 ) are arranged on the bottom surface ( 16 ), and a further element ( 13 ) with through-openings ( 15 ) for a liquid is arranged between the receiving element ( 1 ) and the pouring opening ( 9 ) of the closure cap ( 7 ). 
     
     
         31 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 30 , wherein an auxiliary apparatus ( 18 ) is arranged on the jacket surface ( 17 ) in order to facilitate actuation of the receiving element ( 1 ). 
     
     
         32 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 31 , wherein the auxiliary apparatus ( 18 ) comprises a depression and/or a projection ( 19 ) in the jacket surface ( 17 ). 
     
     
         33 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 30 , wherein the receiving element ( 1 ) comprises a top surface ( 21 ) with through-openings ( 15 ), so that the receiving volume ( 20 ) is fully enclosed by the jacket surface ( 17 ), top surface ( 21 ) and bottom surface ( 16 ). 
     
     
         34 . The closure cap ( 7 ) according to  claim 23 , comprising at least one dispensing body, preferably a tablet ( 2 ).
