Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0723928A1] After the receptacle (2) has been filled with fluid, the orifice (3) is sealed by a closure piece (1) held by a holder element (12). The closure piece is applied by a closure tool (11) into which the holder element is integrated. After fluid has been introduced into the receptacle, the closure piece is held in a shielding position near the orifice, and an annular gap (4) is formed between the orifice and closure piece. The closure piece has a recess (5) into which the orifice fits in a shielding position. The lower edge (6) of the closure piece is preferably lower than the top of the orifice.
