This ensures that the sleeve part is aligned coaxially with the head part, so that a relation to the mentioned prior art uniform loading of the separation area is achieved during release. Even with removal openings of relatively large opening diameter with a correspondingly extended separation area, this ensures a secure tear-off operation over the entire circumference of the removal opening.
