  • Publication number: 20230303385
    Abstract: An arrangement with a container (3) having a container opening via which a storage medium (3) can be supplied to or removed from the container (3). The container opening can be sealed with a closure means and secured with a tamper-evident safeguard (9). The tamper-evident safeguard (9) has a safeguard body (10) with a lower part (13), and an upper part (12) that is displaceably mounted on the lower part (13), and a security seal (11). The latter is mounted on the safeguard body (10) fastened to the immersion pipe (4).

  • Patent number: 11753294
    Abstract: A retrieval system for a container having a dip tube and designed to hold a liquid, with a retrieval head which can be fastened to the dip tube, so that liquid can be retrieved from or supplied to the container via the dip tube and the retrieval head. The retrieval head has a liquid channel in which the liquid retrieved from or supplied to the container is conducted. An opening is provided in the wall bounding the liquid channel, wherein when the retrieval head is fastened to the dip tube the opening is closed in such a way that it is secured against the entering of gas, and wherein when the retrieval head is unfastened from the dip tube the opening is no longer closed, so that gas enters the liquid channel via the borehole.
