Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2985236A1] The venting closure (1A) is adapted for sealing a container, and in particular for avoiding pressures (vacuum pressures or overpressures) inside the container (C) that could deform the container. Said venting closure comprises a shell (10) defining a housing (102), a porous venting medium (104) positioned inside said housing (102) and a seal (103) positioned inside said housing (102), and said venting closure can be fitted onto a container (C) in at least two positions : a closing position, wherein air (A) coming from the outside of the container can enter into the container by passing necessarily through the said porous venting medium (104), or air coming from the inside of the container can escape outside the container by passing necessarily through the said porous venting medium (104 ), and a sealing position, wherein the seal (103) of the venting closure is hermetically sealing the container.
