Handle with a closure function, connectable to a bottle

Abstract

A device to be detachably mounted on the neck of a bottle in replacement of the bottle's screw cap, and which as mounted provides a reversible closure function by which a flow communication to the interior of the bottle is shifted between open and closing modes, the device including a mounting part (1;1′;1″) having an internal thread which engages an external thread formed on the bottle's neck, and a handle (7;7′;7″) which is journalled in the mounting part for rotation. The handle carries a head (9;9′;9″) which in result of rotation of the handle upwards/outwards from the bottle in a vertical plane provides access to the mouth of a canal (15;15′;15″) running through the mounting part, and which head further includes a seal (17;17′;36) which, in result of rotation of the handle downwards/inwards towards the bottle, is positioned for closing the canal through the mounting part.
