Abstract
Closure device for a container for liquids, comprising an elastically deformable membrane, having a main body, which can be placed to close an opening of a container. The membrane comprises a connection portion, an impervious main wall protruding from the connection portion and a free edge which is elastically deformable in the presence of an external suction action. The membrane also has a lower body projecting from the connection portion and comprising a plurality of openings for the passage of liquids and a retaining flange engageable with an edge of the container. The membrane is configured to switch between a resting configuration and a working configuration, in which the free edge of the main body is respectively spaced apart and close to the retaining flange of the lower body.

Closure device for a container for drinking liquids, comprising:
- an elastically deformable membrane which has:
- a main body configured to be placed to close an opening of a container for liquids, delimited by an opening edge, the main body comprising a connection portion and an impervious main wall protruding from the connection portion, the main wall having a free edge opposite the connection portion,
- a lower body projecting from the connection portion of the main body and comprising a retaining flange adapted to engage with the edge of the container to constrain the membrane to the container, the lower body comprising a plurality of openings for the passage of liquids,
- wherein the free edge is configured to elastically deform when subjected to a suction action of a user, to put an environment inside the container in fluid communication with an environment outside it and allow liquids to exit from the openings,
- wherein the membrane is configured to elastically switch between a resting configuration, in which the free edge of the main body is spaced from the retaining flange of the lower body, and a working configuration, in which the free edge of the main body is close to the retaining flange of the lower body.
