Abstract
Abstract The wide-necked barrel of a synthetic resin can be sealed by a lid exhibiting a bottom entering into the barrel neck by way of an inner rim, and an outer rim extending over the barrel neck and having a radial lid flange. The lid is sealed by a sealing ring inserted into the annular groove between the inner rim and the outer rim of the lid. The lid flange has on the underside alternatingly tongue-like extensions and recesses arranged with a specific pitch over the circumference of the lid. Annular flange segments integrally molded to the barrel neck engage into the flange recesses and complete the partial cross-sectional profile of the lid flange, formed in the zone of the recesses, to the full cross-sectional profile of the lid flange in the zone of the extensions. The clamping ring encompassing the lid flange and the annular flange segments is secured by means of clamping ridges integrally molded to the lid extensions and extending in the circumferential direction.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
212 words
Wide-necked barrel of a synthetic resin with a removable lid exhibiting a bottom entering into the barrel neck by way of an inner rim, and an outer rim extending over the barrel neck with a radial lid flange which is braced by means of a clamping ring against a closure element integrally molded to the barrel neck, a sealing ring inserted into the annular groove between the inner rim and the outer rim of the lid being urged against the top edge of the barrel neck, characterized in that the lid flange (10) exhibits on the underside alternatingly tongue-like extensions (14) and recesses (15) arranged with a specific pitch over the circumference of the lid; that radially outwardly oriented annular flange segments (4), molded on the barrel neck (3), engage into the flange recesses (15), these segments completing a partial cross-sectional profile (10b) of the lid flange (10), formed in the zone of the recesses (15), to a full cross-sectional profile (10a) of the lid flange (10) in the zone of the extensions (14); and that the clamping ring (16) encompassing the lid flange (10) and the annular flange segments (4) is secured by means of clamping ridges (17) integrally molded with the lid extensions (14) and extending in the circumferential direction.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
Wide-necked barrel according to claim 1, characterized in that the cross-sectional profile (10a) of the lid flange (10) is fashioned in the zone of the extensions (14) as an outwardly tapering trapezoidal profile.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Wide-necked barrel according to claim 1, characterized by radially inwardly oriented annular bead segments (5) molded into the barrel neck (3) above the annular flange segments (4).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
Wide-necked barrel according to claim 1, characterized in that the cross-sectional profile of the lid flange (10) is all around the same at any location, and corresponds to half the profile of the inner cross section of the clamping ring (16).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
Wide-necked barrel according to claim 1, characterized in that downwardly projecting trapezoidal ribs (18) are molded integrally with the lid flange (10) in the zone of the extensions (14), these ribs supplementing the profile of the inner cross section of the clamping ring (16).
