Abstract
A closing device, in particular for bottles, jars, pots or similar packaging containers for pharmaceutical or cosmetic products, having a rotationally drivable screw head for screwing a closure, for example a screw cap, onto the container which screw head has on a carrier a gripping part for grasping a closure and is actuable between a release position and a clamping position. The gripping part is embraced by a sliding cage for actuation by relative movement. Both the gripping part and the sliding cage are configured as a monolithic component and the two are intertwined in such a way that parts of the sliding cage reach through openings in the gripping part into the interior thereof and as far as a lifting apparatus in the carrier.

A closing device, having a rotationally drivable screw head for screwing a closure onto a container, the closing device comprising:
- a carrier;
- a gripping part, supported by the carrier, for grasping the closure, the gripping part having an interior, and the gripping part adapted to move between a release position and a clamping position;
- a lifting apparatus supported by the carrier;
- a sliding cage, connected to the lifting apparatus, embracing the gripping part and adapted to move relative to the gripping part in order to cause movement of the gripping part between the release position and the clamping position;
- and
- wherein both the gripping part and the sliding cage are configured as a monolithic component and the gripping part and the sliding cage are intertwined in such a way that parts of the sliding cage extend through openings in the gripping part and into the interior thereof and as far as the lifting apparatus within the carrier.
