FIELD: packaging industry.
SUBSTANCE: cover for a keg containing a housing and at least one valve element movable with reference to the housing. The cover also contains a locking mechanism with a locking element moved with reference to the housing and capable to hold the valve in the open position. The locking mechanism includes the first and second connecting elements on which the locking element or the valve element can be linked with each other. When the locking element and the valve element are linked on the first connecting element, the locking element moves together with the valve element during the movement of the valve element from the open position to the closed one.
EFFECT: movement of the locking element provides engagement between the locking element and the valve element on the second connecting element which occurs at the subsequent movement of the valve element in the open position, for the prevention of return of the valve element to the closed position.
