Closure for a vessel and vessel comprising such a closure

Abstract

A closure for a vessel is provided, including a first closure part to which a cover is pivotably attached, which can be kept closed by way of a push-push locking mechanism. The invention enables a large-surface-area cover, which does not impair filling and emptying of the vessel. The closure covers a seal of the vessel.

1 . A closure for a vessel, comprising a first closure part, which can be attached to the vessel and has an opening for filling and/or emptying the vessel, wherein the closure comprises a cover for closing the opening, which is connected to the first closure part, or can be connected to the first closure part for closing the opening, and the closure comprises a push-push locking mechanism so as to keep the cover closed. 
     
     
         2 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a pivot axis close to the edge, by way of which the cover is pivotably connected to the first closure part. 
     
     
         3 . The closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the opening of the first closure part has a large-surface-area design. 
     
     
         4 . A closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the closure comprises a gasket, which provides sealing between the first closure part and the cover when the cover is closed. 
     
     
         5 . The closure according to  claim 4 , wherein the gasket acts on the cover in an opening direction. 
     
     
         6 . A vessel having an opening and comprising a closure according to  claim 1 , wherein the closure is disposed on the opening of the vessel so that the cover of the closure can be used to close the opening of the vessel. 
     
     
         7 . The vessel according to  claim 6 , wherein the opening of the vessel comprises a seal. 
     
     
         8 . The vessel according to  claim 7 , wherein, on an edge of the opening of the vessel, the seal is covered by the first closure part of the closure. 
     
     
         9 . A vessel according to  claim 1 , wherein the closure is connected to the vessel by way of a threaded connection and/or by way of a detent connection.
