  • Publication number: 20070272306
    Abstract: A closure device with a pressure valve in which the closure device is provided in the form of a protective cap (1) which has a groove (2) on its outer periphery. At least one discharge opening (31, 32) for a fluid is formed inside the groove and communicates with the interior of the vessel to be closed by the closure device. Both lateral arms (41, 42) of an elastically deformable clip (4) are forcibly inserted into the groove. At least one of these arms (41, 42) is provided with a seal (51, 52) which seals the fluid discharge opening (31, 32) in order to ensure a tight seal when the pressure difference between the interior of the vessel to be closed and the exterior environment is less than a first predetermined value, and which opens this opening when the pressure difference is greater than a second predetermined value.
