- a closure lid with safety lock for openings on containers is also known.
- This safety lock makes it possible to prevent unscrewing of the closure lid when prevailing in the container overpressure, in that the closure cap is blocked against the filler neck on the container non-rotatably.
- This known safety lock uses an axially movable insert which surrounds the inner cover part or its valve arrangement and which is thereby exposed directly to the pressure prevailing in the container overpressure by its inner bottom is disposed in the opening of the filler neck.
- This axially movable insert is axially movable in a tubular additional inner part, but held non-rotatably, which sits non-rotatably in the filler neck of the container and against which the closure lid is rotatable. When occurring in the container overpressure, the insert is moved axially in the direction of the closure lid and engages in this non-rotatably. This results in a rotational blocking of the closure lid over the insert and the additional inner part with the filling opening of the container.
- both the axially movable insert and the tubular additional inner part increase the Diameter of the inner cover part of the closure cover or reduce the effective area of the valve assembly of the closure cap, which has a negative impact on the response of the valve assembly.

- said overpressure can be reduced via a second flow connection, after which a corresponding return of the valve body 17 can take place via the various operating states.
- the initial position shown in FIG. 1 occupies the valve assembly 15 when the internal coolant pressure moves between a negative pressure limit and the first excess pressure limit.
- Such pressure conditions prevail, for example, for a parked vehicle for a long time or driving the vehicle and sufficient cooling of the coolant inside the radiator by the airstream and / or with fan assistance. If the vehicle is shut down, for example, after a long journey, an increase in pressure may result inside the radiator, as a result of which the radiator content (air or water or water vapor) can flow to the valve arrangement 15.
