In the body of the pouring means, the first channel 6 is made, which serves to pour the contents from the container and the second channel 5, which serves to allow air to flow into the container, which ensures “uninterrupted” jets (no “flicker”), while ensuring optimal operation of the device, the lower inner end of the first channel 6 is located above the lower inner end of the second channel 5, the first channel 6 is made of step section, enlarged in the lower part, the second channel 5 is made of step section, enlarged in the upper part 12, second the channel 5 of the pouring element in the lower part is converted into a tube 5, which is its continuation and directed into the bottle (not shown) for introducing air through it, the effective passage section 15 of the first channel 6 is made larger than the effective passage section 14 of the second channel 5, the upper end of the cork 4 is made with a flange 19, the diameter of which exceeds the inner diameter of the neck of the tank.

The plastic divider 1 has a lower end interacting with the counter top flange 19 of the plug 4, a sealing plastic cup-shaped insert 2, additionally inserted into the device, fixed on the upper part of the divider 1, and the pouring means

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) surfaces - the end face 20 of the flange 19 of the plug 4 are made of annular sealing elements 32 (in the form of annular protrusions), on the lateral mating surfaces of the plug 4 and the divider 1 are made additional annular sealing elements 33 (in the form of annular protrusions), which also increases the tightness of the closure and its reliability in the process of transportation, transshipment, etc. When opening the capping device, the tear tape 11 is first torn off along the weakened (perforated) section of the perforated annular stop grooves 26, 28 and the metal cap 3 is rotated, and due to its adhesion to the insert 2, the insert 2 itself is also rotated.

Since the insert 2 is in contact with the divider 1 through threads 24, 25, and the rotation of the divider 1 is prevented by the longitudinal protrusions 8 of the divider 1 (specially designed for angular fixation of the divider on the rim of the bottle) and, at the same time, the axial movement of the divider is prevented by the latches 7 interacting with the stops on the rim of the bottle (not shown), as a result, the insert 2 together with the metal cap 3 also rotates and moves upward along the thread 24, 25. Moreover, if the tear-off tape 11 is not torn off by the consumer, due to rotation and upward movement of the upper part of the metal cap 3, there is still a separation from the lower part along the weakened (perforated) section of the perforated annular stop grooves 26, 28 (the lower part is also retained from axial movements rolling 31).
