Closure device for a container and furthermore a container fitted with the closure device

A closure device for a container comprising a locking means for the releasable mutual locking of two container parts when the container is closed, said locking means having first locking instrumentalities for a first container part and second locking instrumentalities for a second container part, the first locking instrumentalities including at least one actuating member able to be switched over between an open position and a closed position, said actuating member being kinematically coupled with at least one engagement member of the first locking instrumentalities, which in the open position of the actuating member can assume a released position out of a locking engagement with a second engagement member of the second locking instrumentalities and in the closed position of the actuating member can assume a locking position in locking engagement with the second engagement member, the second locking instrumentalities comprise at least one obstructing member extending, when the locking instrumentalities are united together, into a path of displacement of an abutment part constituted directly by the actuating member or kinematically coupled with same and holds the actuating member in the closed position and an opening mechanism is provided by means of which the obstruction of the actuating member may be overridden and the actuating member may be switched over back into the open position;

• wherein the opening mechanism comprises an adjustable opener having a deflecting face by means of which the abutment part may be so acted upon that same is deflected in relation to the obstructing member and the obstructing member may move past to the side for switching over the actuating member into the open position.
