摘要： The present disclosure relates to a sealing unit (8, 8', 108) for sealing an opening in a wall of a container for storing, transporting, and serving a liquid, for instance a beverage, the sealing unit (8, 8', 108) comprising: - an outer housing and an inner housing (20,40) defining a gas flow passage (38') arranged between an outer surface of the inner housing and an inner surface of the outer housing. The inner housing (20) is movable in axial direction between a first axial position wherein the gas flow passage (38') is closed and gas is prevented from flowing into the container or out of the container and a second axial position wherein the gas flow passage (38') is open and gas is allowed to flow in a generally axial direction (PA1) into the container or out of the container, further comprising a biasing element arranged between the outer housing (20) and inner housing (40) and configured to urge the movable inner housing (20) to move to the first axial position. Inside the movable inner housing a liquid flow passage (37', 37", 37'") is defined, wherein the inside the liquid flow passage a liquid seal unit (65,65') is arranged.

摘要： The disclosure relates to a device (100) and method for handling a sealing device (1) in order to position the discharge pipe (10) of a valve (4) of the sealing device into a storage position. The handling device comprises a cap support (150) to be arranged at the downstream side of the protective cap (61) and configured to support the protective cap, and a pushing device (120) arranged at the upstream side of the base and configured to apply a first pushing force on the base (3) and/or valve housing (25) so to urge the base, valve and protective cap against the cap support and to apply a second pushing force on the discharge pipe of the valve to urge the discharge pipe to its storage position.
