Abstract
The invention relates to a closing cap ( ) for the fixed tubing of a motor vehicle radiator, comprising an inner part ( ) with a flow connection means between the inside and the outside of the container, as well as a distributing mechanism for freeing and closing the flow connection means. A valve body ( ) of the distributing mechanism ( ), which can be reciprocated, is compressed under pre-stress towards the inside of the container against a sealing seat ( ) at the inner part ( ) of the cap, so that said valve body can be lifted from said sealing seat ( ) when a threshold value of the pressure inside the container is exceeded. In order to produce a closing cap ( ) which does not open in case of overpressure resulting from heat accumulation and which ensures that the container is protected in case of a continuing increase of pressure, in a simple and cost-effective way, the invention provides for in-use controlled adjustment of the pre-stress used for compressing the valve body ( ) against the sealing seat ( ).
