  • Patent number: 9156584
    Abstract: A sealing disc for closing mouths of containers has a foil for inductively introducing heat into the sealing disc. The sealing disc has an edge region. A sealing layer is provided on the side of the foil that is to face the interior of the container, for sealing tight the edge region of the sealing disc on the mouth of the container. One or more layers are located on the side of the foil that is remote from the sealing layer. Further, a hand grip is formed as part of the sealing disc and serves to open the mouth of the container that is closed by the sealing disc. On the side that is remote from the sealing layer, the layer or layers are provided with weakening lines for forming an outline of the hand grip. The weakening lines lead into the edge region of the sealing disc.

  • Publication number: 20100059942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing disk for openings of containers, comprising a metal layer used to inject heat by induction, a layer which can be sealed on the container opening and which can be melted by thermal conduction via the metal layer. The sealable layer is adjacent to the inside of the container when the sealing disk is placed on the container opening. An absorber layer which can extract and/or absorb oxygen from the fluid is provided such that said absorber layer is in contact with the inside of the container when the sealing disk is placed on the container opening.
