Abstract: The present invention relates to a coupling device configured to be mechanically coupled to a springless cap of a container to be in a coupled configuration. The coupling device comprises a first probe configured to be inserted into a first opening of the cap, a second probe configured to be inserted into a second opening of the cap, a first sleeve configured to cover a first extraction aperture of the first probe and a second sleeve configured to cover a second extraction aperture of the second probe. The first sleeve is slideably attached to the first probe and the second sleeve is slideably attached to the second probe. Furthermore, the coupling device is configured, when in the coupled configuration, to disengage a first closure insert of the cap from a first shoulder of the cap by axially pushing the first closure insert with the first probe. The coupling device is also configured, when in the coupled configuration, to disengage a second closure insert of the cap from a second shoulder of the cap by axially pushing the second closure insert with the second probe. In an embodiment the coupling device comprises a probe translation control mechanism and/or a sleeve translation control mechanism. The plugs in the cap may have a spring function derived from a material memory in the legs of the plug and this is used to retain the plugs in position and sealed.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种联接装置，其被配置为机械地联接到处于联接构造的容器的弹簧盖。 联接装置包括构造成插入到盖的第一开口中的第一探针，被配置为插入到帽的第二开口中的第二探针，被配置为覆盖第一探针的第一提取孔的第一套管和 第二套管构造成覆盖第二探针的第二提取孔。 第一套筒可滑动地附接到第一探针，第二套筒可滑动地连接到第二探针。 此外，联接装置被构造成当处于联接构造时，通过利用第一探针轴向推动第一封闭插件，从而将帽的第一封闭插入件与帽的第一肩部脱离。 联接装置还被构造成当处于联接构造时，通过用第二探针轴向推动第二封闭插件，从而将帽的第二封闭插入件与帽的第二肩部脱离。 在一个实施例中，联接装置包括探针平移控制机构和/或套筒平移控制机构。 盖中的插头可以具有源自插头腿部的材料存储器的弹簧功能，并且用于将插头保持在适当位置并被密封。
