Abstract:
A container for pourable foodstuffs has a base, a side wall connected to the base and surrounding a storage chamber. An elastic cuff is connected with a first end to the side wall and has a second end with an opening. The cuff width decreases from first to second end along a longitudinal container axis. The elastic cuff can be pushed into and pulled out of the storage chamber. A sealing element shaped as a stopper can be inserted into the opening for closing the container and has a shank portion matched in shape and size to the opening such that sealing abutment of a shank portion surface against surfaces of the elastic cuff adjoining the cuff opening is established in a contact region of the shank portion when the stopper is inserted. The shank portion has an end with a thickened portion thicker than the contact region.

Claim (Index 1):
A pouring container ( 2 ) for storing pourable foodstuffs, the pouring container comprising:\n a base ( 4 ); a side wall ( 6 ) connected to the base ( 4 ) and surrounding a storage chamber ( 18 ); a cuff ( 10 ) composed of an elastic material, the cuff ( 19 ) comprising a first end ( 12 ) connected to the side wall ( 6 ) and comprising a second end ( 14 ) comprising an upper opening ( 8 ); wherein a width of the cuff ( 10 ) decreases from the first end ( 12 ) to the second end ( 14 ) along a longitudinal axis ( 16 ) of the pouring container ( 2 ); wherein the cuff ( 10 ), due to an elasticity of the elastic material, is configured to be pushed into and pulled back out of the storage chamber ( 18 ) along the longitudinal axis ( 16 ) of the pouring container ( 2 ); a sealing element ( 20 ) configured to close the upper opening ( 8 ), wherein the sealing element ( 20 ) is shaped as a stopper configured to be inserted into the upper opening ( 8 ); wherein the sealing element ( 20 ) comprises a shank portion ( 32 ) having a shape and a size adapted to a shape and a size of the upper opening ( 8 ) such that a sealing abutment of a surface of the shank portion ( 32 ) against surfaces of the elastic material of the cuff ( 10 ) adjoining the upper opening ( 8 ) of the cuff ( 10 ) is established in a contact region of the shank portion when the stopper is inserted into the opening; wherein the shank portion ( 32 ) comprises an end facing the storage chamber ( 18 ) and the end comprises a thickened portion that is thicker than the contact region of the shank portion.
