Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2894274A1] The invention relates to a closure (10, 20) having two profiled strips (11, 12; 21, 22) for an at least partially flexible container (1, 2) for connecting a first container (1) to a second container (2) in an environmentally sealed manner and in a closed docking position, and for conducting a flow in a flow direction (D) through the closure (10, 20) from the first container (1) into the second container (2) in an environmentally sealed manner and in an open docking position. The second container (2) has an identical closure (10, 20) which faces the first container (1) and which, in the open docking position, is in engagement with the closure (10, 20) of the first container (1), and together with the closure (10, 20) of the first container (1) defines a flow channel (3) for the throughflow in the flow direction (D). A substantial advantage of the invention is that the closures (10, 20) can be docked to each other and opened jointly in a single step by a separate slider. A further substantial advantage of the invention is that due to the dual functional nature of all the closure elements no closure element (13, 14; 23, 24) is exposed in the channel-upward direction to the material to be transferred during the transfer of material. The invention further relates to a slider (30) for connecting and separating such closures (10, 20), comprising an insertion side (31), on which the closures (10, 20) can be inserted into the slider (30) in insertion directions (A, B), which form an acute angle, and an output side (32) opposite the insertion side (31), on which the closures (10, 20), which are connected to each other and are open, can be led out from the slider (30) in a common slide direction (C).
