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

A stackable cutlery element having a handle and a functional element shaped onto the handle. To achieve maximum stability, the handle of the cutlery element is designed as a wall with longitudinal ribs arranged on the edge of both sides, so that an essentially H-shaped cross-section is formed. For additional stabilization, an end rib is arranged on the longitudinal end of the handle opposing the functional element on both sides of the wall. The end rib and the two longitudinal ribs on both sides are designed so that when the cutlery elements of this invention are stacked, the end rib and the longitudinal ribs of the first side of a cutlery element engage positively in the end rib and longitudinal ribs of the second side of the further cutlery element to connecting to them in the stacking direction.
