The invention relates to a process, as well as a device which is suited for the same, for the processing of containers, particularly of bottles or the like, into which a fluid is injected for the expulsion of the air from the head room of the bottles after the filling, before the aperture of the container is closed, in a sealing manner, by means of a closure cap. After the injecting of the fluid, a closure cap is first of all moved forward to the opening of the container and held, for a certain period of time, in a position above the opening, in such a manner that the open aperture is covered by the closure cap, but that gas can exit from the container between the opening and the closure cap. After that, the closure cap is attached to the container in a sealing manner.

[ I claim:] [1.] An improved process for the processing of containers into which a fluid is injected after filling, before a mouth (3) of the container (2) is closed in a sealing manner by means of a closure cap (1), the improvement comprising the steps of, first, after the injection of the fluid, moving a closure cap (1) up to the mouth (3) of the container (2), next, positively holding said closure cap (1) in a protective position (II) above said mouth by means of a holding element (12), so that the mouth is covered by said closure cap, but a distance remains between said mouth and a lower side (36) of said closure cap (1) allowing gas to escape from said container (2) through an annular gap between said mouth and said closure cap to an ambient atmosphere having at least atmospheric pressure, waiting a predetermined length of time to allow gas, generated by said injected fluid outside of said container, to escape through said annular gap and during said predetermined length of time conveying together said container and said closure cap (1) while holding said closure cap parallel to said mouth and maintaining said distance in said protective position, and, after said predetermined length of time, lowering and attaching said closure cap to said container in a sealing manner.
