The invention relates to a method for applying capsules () to a plastic container () which is aseptically filled with a liquid and which is weld-sealed with a membrane (). The capsule () to be applied, which preferably is constituted of two aluminum foils () having a collar (), is placed on the membrane () with a planar surface thereof and the collar is mechanically bent so that it is reliably secured to the container neck (). The cap () is then pressed onto it so that the collar () is retained between the container neck () and the cap () in a form-and in a force-locking connection. The method according to the invention avoids the risk of the capsule being destroyed, which can happen during welding, and the risk of soiling, which can happen during gluing.

Method for filling a plastic container having a container neck and applying a capsule thereon

The invention relates to a closure for a container having an adapter part which can be fastened to the container connecting piece forming the container opening and on the external thread of which a hood-shaped part is screwed which forms the upper removal opening, wherein a capsule which is filled with an active substance and the contents of which can be moved into the interior of the container lies on the upper edge of the container connecting piece, wherein the capsule can be cut open by blades which protrude on a blade ring which can be rotated by rotation of the hood-like part and can be moved downwards, wherein the blade ring can be moved downwards during a first rotational range of the hood-shaped part until the blades stab into the capsule, and wherein the blade ring can be rotated by the hood-shaped part during the subsequent second rotational range of the hood-shaped part, in particular without a further movement downwards.
