Resealable dispensing element for a cardboard/plastic composite package with a screw cap attached to it and method for mounting a screw cap

Abstract

A resealable dispensing element for a composite package is shown and described including a main body with a flange and a hollow cylindrical spout with at least one outer thread, an opening means guided movably in the spout for opening the composite package and a resealable screw cap, having an anchor ring. The screw cap serves to drive the opening means when the composite package is opened for the first time and wherein the screw cap and the anchor ring are connected by a plurality of breakable material bridges or at least by a material anchorage for connection to the main body. The main body on the spout has at least one circumferential web for securely holding the anchor ring and wherein the anchor ring has on its inside a circumferential retaining web shaped such that it corresponds with the circumferential web, as well as a method for mounting the screw cap for such a dispensing element. In order to reliably rule out tilting of the anchor ring during the mounting process of the dispensing element, it is provided that the main body has a plurality of vertical guide ribs arranged distributed over the circumference on the spout between the outer thread and the circumferential web for uniformly stretching the anchor ring when the screw cap is applied during the mounting of the dispensing element.
