The invention relates to a stopper (1) for a beverage container, a tapping assembly and a beverage container (100). The stopper (1) comprises an outer part (4) which has a ring flange (41) and a sleeve (42), the sleeve (42), below the ring flange (41), being circumferentially deformed to form a bulge (43), and a spreading ring (3) which has a ring flange (31) and a plurality of L-shaped elements (32) which have a pivot (D) at the angle of the “L” and the free ends of which are designed as hooks (33), and a bushing (2) and a rotational cover (5), which has a cover plate (54) and a sleeve (51). When the stopper (1) is in a position of nonuse, the spreading ring (3) is pre-positioned in the outer part (4), the bushing (2) protrudes partially into the spreading ring (3), and the hooks (33) point radially inward. The rotational cover (5) can provide a closure arrangement, in which the rotational cover (5), the spreading ring (3), and the bushing (2) are accommodated so far from the outer part (4) that the hooks (33) of the spreading ring (3) are turned outward and engage in the bulge (43), whereby a circumferential projection is pressed in the direction of an underside of the ring flange (41).

1. A stopper for a beverage container, the stopper comprising: an outer part comprising a first annular flange and further comprising a sleeve connected to an underside of the first annular flange, wherein the sleeve, below the first annular flange, is deformed circumferentially to a bulge;a spreading ring comprising a second annular flange and further comprising L-shaped elements each comprising a first leg and a second leg connected to each other at a pivot point, wherein the first leg is connected with an end opposite the pivot point to an underside of the second annular flange and extends in an axial direction of the spreading ring downwardly away from the underside of the second annular flange, wherein, in a radial rest position of the second leg, the second leg extends lengthwise from the pivot point inwardly in a radial direction of the spreading ring and comprises a free end opposite the pivot point pointing radially inwardly, wherein the second leg, in said radial rest position, has a first face facing in the axial direction upwardly toward the underside of the spreading ring and a second face opposite the first face and facing in the axial direction downwardly away from the underside of the spreading ring, wherein the second leg comprises a hook arranged on the second face and pointing in the axial direction downwardly away from the second face, wherein the hook, in said radial rest position, is pointing in the axial direction downwardly away from the underside of the second annular flange, wherein the L-shaped elements are spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the second annular flange;a bushing;a rotary cover comprising a cover plate and further comprising a sleeve that is connected to an underside of the cover plate and is displaced radially inwardly relative to an outer circumference of the cover plate and extends in downward direction away from the underside of the cover plate;wherein, in an arrangement of non-use of the stopper, the spreading ring is pre-positioned in the outer part, the bushing projects partially into the spreading ring, the rotary cover is pre-positioned in the bushing, and the second legs of the L-shaped elements are in said radial rest position;wherein, in a closure arrangement of the stopper, the rotary cover, the spreading ring, and the bushing are accommodated so far within the outer part that the second legs are rotated about the pivot point from said radial rest position into an axial position, wherein in the axial position the free ends of the second legs point in the axial direction downwardly away from the underside of the spreading ring, the second faces are facing in the radial direction outwardly, and the hooks point radially outwardly and engage the bulge of the sleeve of the outer part and force a circumferential projection formed by the bulge in a direction toward the underside of the first annular flange. 2. The stopper according to claim 1, wherein the outer part is comprised of a plastic material. 3. The stopper according to claim 2, wherein the plastic material is rubber. 4. The stopper according to claim 2, wherein the plastic material is a thermoplastic elastomer. 5. The stopper according to claim 1, wherein the sleeve of the outer part comprises an outer circumference and the outer circumference tapers conically in a direction away from the first annular flange. 6. The stopper according to claim 1, wherein the stopper further comprises a plug that comprises a cover plate and a core centrally connected to a top side of the cover plate and extending away from the cover plate, wherein the plug further comprises a sleeve that surrounds the core so that a gap is formed between the core and the sleeve of the plug. 7. The stopper according to claim 6, wherein the sleeve of the plug comprises at least one bore and the sleeve of the outer part comprises at least one bore, wherein the plug is configured to align the at least one bore of the plug with the at least one bore of the sleeve of the outer part. 8. The stopper according to claim 6, wherein the core, the sleeve of the plug, and the gap are arranged relative to each other such that the plug is configured to be attached with form fit and seal-tightly to an end of the outer part that is facing away from the first annular flange. 9. The stopper according to claim 8, wherein the core is resting with form fit in the sleeve of the rotary cover. 10. The stopper according to claim 9, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the core and an inner cross-sectional shape of the sleeve of the rotary cover are configured such that the core and the sleeve of the rotary cover are in rotary engagement with each other. 11. The stopper according to claim 10, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the core and the inner cross-sectional shape of the sleeve of the rotary cover are elliptical or flattened elliptical. 12. The stopper according to claim 1, wherein the bushing is longer than the spreading ring and comprises a groove on an outer circumference of the bushing, wherein the groove, in the closure arrangement of the stopper, engages an inner bottom edge of the hooks. 13. The stopper according to claim 1, wherein the rotary cover, after the closure arrangement has been established, is removable from the stopper while the arrangement of the spreading ring in the stopper is maintained. 14. The stopper according to claim 13, wherein the bushing, after the rotary cover has been removed, defines a cylindrical opening configured to receive a draw tube of a tapping device. 15. A tapping assembly comprising a stopper according to claim 1 and a tapping device comprising a draw tube, wherein the draw tube extends through the stopper. 16.
