Method and device for producing containers filled with a liquid filling material and closed with a closure cap

16:

• The method according to claim 15, wherein during the transforming step, the preform is guided at least temporarily by a stretching rod and stretched in axial direction.

17:

• The method according to claim 15, wherein a side of the forming and filling head facing the mold includes a receiving device for the closure cap, and wherein the receiving device receives the closure cap supplied by the cap supplying device by performing a receiving movement toward the closure cap, and wherein the received closure cap is then pressed onto the container.

18:

• The method according to claim 17, wherein the receiving device is a recess formed in the forming and filling head, and wherein the recess is dimensioned to receive the closure cap in a manner that prevents the closure cap from tipping.

19:

• The method according to claim 15, wherein the cap supplying device has a positionable supply rail on which the closure cap is supplied in a sliding manner to the forming and filling station, and wherein the cap supplying device further comprises a loading finger for moving the closure cap on the supply rail.

20:

• The method according to claim 19, wherein the cap supplying device further comprises a loading finger for moving the closure cap on the supply rail.

21:

• The method according to claim 15, wherein the closure cap is a threaded closure cap.

22:

• The method according to claim 21, wherein the forming and filling head comprises a rotatable head section which is rotatably arranged on a torque-proof head section and which comprises a drive device for rotating the rotatable head section with respect to the torque-proof head section, wherein the drive device is comprises two mutually meshing toothed wheels, wherein a first of said two mutually meshed toothed wheels is driven by a driving means, wherein a second of said two mutually meshed toothed wheels is firmly connected to the rotatable head section, and wherein the pressed-on closure cap is rotated by means of the rotatable head section with respect to the container to definitively close the container.

23:

• The method according to claim 15, wherein the forming and filling station is arranged on a rotating work wheel which revolves continuously in a container production operation.

25:

• The device according to claim 24, further comprising a stretching rod for axially stretching and guiding the preform at least temporarily as the preform is transformed into the container.

26:

• The device according to claim 24, wherein the at least one forming and filling station is arranged on a rotating work wheel that is configured to continuously revolve in a container production operation.

27:

• The device according to claim 24, wherein a side of the forming and filling head facing the mold includes a receiving device for the closure cap, and wherein the forming and filling head is configured to perform a receiving movement toward the supplied closure cap for receiving the closure cap.

28:

• The device according to claim 27, wherein the receiving device is a recess formed in the forming and filling head, which is dimensioned to receive the closure cap in a manner that prevents the closure cap from tipping.

29:

• The device according to claim 24, wherein the cap supplying device has a positionable supply rail on which the closure cap is supplied in a sliding manner to the forming and filling station.

30:

• The device according to claim 29, wherein the cap supplying device further comprises a loading finger for moving the closure cap on the supply rail.

31:

• The device according to claim 24, wherein the closure cap is a threaded closure cap.

32:

• The device according to claim 31, wherein the forming and filling head comprises a rotatable head section which is rotatably arranged on a torque-proof head section and which comprises a drive device for rotating the rotatable head section with respect to the torque-proof head section, wherein the drive device is comprises two mutually meshing toothed wheels, wherein a first of said two mutually meshed toothed wheels is driven by a driving means, and wherein a second of said two mutually meshed toothed wheels is firmly connected to the rotatable head section.
