Combination ventilation unit and seal for spray heads of spray bottles
First Claim
1. A closing device for an auxiliary pressure equalization opening of a spray container which can be filled with a liquid or solid, the opening having an outer rim, comprisinga ventilation element which, in a manner allowing for detachment, closes the auxiliary opening of the container, comprising at least one membrane having an upper and a lower surface made from a material that is impermeable to liquids and solids but permeable to gases, and at least one carrier material attached to the upper or lower surface of the membrane, whereby the ventilation element is in contact with the outer rim of the auxiliary pressure equalization opening;
- andat least one of a suction pipe and a suction pipe/suction pipe connection assembly having an exterior wall which traverses the ventilation element, and which is joined with the ventilation element as a tight seal against solids and liquids.
