Abstract:
1. A device for sealing food product containers, in particular drink containers, comprising: a sealing element adapted to engage on a wall of a food product container around a wall opening arranged in the wall, and an operating element adapted to co-act with the sealing element for displacing the sealing element between an opened position leaving the wall opening clear and a closed position sealing the wall opening, wherein the operating element is provided with coupling means for coupling the food product container, and that the relative orientation of the sealing element and the operating element can be changed such that the operating element pulls the sealing element in the closed position to engage under bias on the wall for substantially medium-tight sealing of the food product container, and wherein the sealing element and the operating element mutually co-act by means of a screw connection.
