  • the closure device provides an extremely reliable and tight storage of the product preparation component within the first container. This precludes both that a consumer can open the first container and that the product preparation component can unintentionally escape from the first container into the environment. Likewise, the product preparation component held in the first container is reliably protected from undesired environmental influences, such as air humidity and / or atmospheric oxygen, as a result of the tight container closure. In this respect, such a packaging system also allows, among other things, the storage and handling of chemically highly reactive and possibly health-endangering substances in the first container.

  • Coupling device or the fastening sleeve cooperate in such a way that a start and an end stop for the relative rotation between fastening sleeve and coupling device around the axis of the closure device is formed.

This configuration offers the great application advantage that in the course of coupling the two containers by screwing the coupling device on the second container, a constant direction of rotation can be maintained in order to ultimately establish the fluid connection between the first and second container.
  • a clockwise thread is provided between the coupling device and the second container, while a counterclockwise thread is formed between the cap and the first container. It is thus possible in the course of coupling the first container to the closure device via the coupling device in a clockwise direction, i. H. clockwise to screw to the second container. To this extent, in this case, the first container together with the closure device is turned clockwise, i. H. clockwise, opposite to the second container.

  • the opposing threads between the coupling device and the second container as well as the cap and the first container effect both the reliable coupling of the container and the setting of the fluid connection between the first and second container as a result of the opening of the first container in a very simple and at the same time user-friendly way.

In this state the cap is partially detached from the container, but is still connected to the first container via the opposing thread.
