Closure cap for mounting on a liquid container

Abstract

A closure cap, preferably a screw closure cap, for mounting on a liquid container includes at least a preferably recloseable pouring opening, a receiving element for receiving at least one dispensing body, e.g. a tablet, wherein the receiving element is permeable to a liquid so as to allow the at least one dispensing body to come into contact with the liquid, and an opening for introducing the at least one dispensing body into a receiving volume or for removing it from the receiving volume. In an operating state of the closure cap, the receiving element can be brought through the opening both from the receiving volume into a loading position for changing the dispensing body and also into the receiving volume to a dispensing position.
