Abstract:
1. A capless filler neck for a neck of a container, comprising: a pipe section running along a neck axis, and a closure mechanism, including an upper closure flap and a lower closure flap arranged therebeneath at a distance therefrom, each of the upper and lower closure flaps being constructed as a sealing flap, wherein the upper closure flap and the lower closure flap are swivellably mounted for opening, respectively, about an upper swivel axis and a lower swivel axis, and are swivellable against respective restoring forces for opening the closure mechanism by the introduction of a filler pipe into the pipe section, wherein the upper closure flap is constructed and mounted such that with a closed upper closure flap and along a first swivelling path, the upper closure flap is not in direct or indirect contact with the lower closure flap, and along a second swivelling path adjoining the first swivelling path, the upper closure flap rests with a force transmission section onto a pressure region of the lower closure flap at a distance from the upper swivel axis onto a movable part of the lower closure flap such that the lower closure flap is also opened at least by a few angular degrees, but not opened to an extent that the filler pipe would fit through, without the insertion of the filler pipe through the lower closure flap while the upper closure flap is moved along the second swivelling path.
