uzavírací

Uzavírací is a Czech adjective derived from the verb uzavřít, meaning to close or seal. It describes something designed to close, seal, or block access, passage, or operation. The suffix -ací forms adjectives from verbs and denotes a functional purpose rather than a state.

In technical and commercial language, uzavírací is used with nouns for devices or components whose purpose is to close a gap, container, or pathway. Common collocations include uzavírací víčko (closing cap), uzavírací šroub (closing bolt), uzavírací uzávěr (closing closure), uzavírací ventil (closing valve), and uzavírací klapka (closing flap). The term is widely used in packaging, plumbing, automotive, and electronics, where a mechanism must be opened to use something and closed to restore containment or safety. The meaning emphasizes function; the item may be used temporarily or permanently and can be operated manually or automatically.

Related notes: the noun for a closure is uzávěr, and a closely related adjective is zavírací, which also appears in everyday language in some contexts. In Slovak, the equivalent form is uzatvárací. In Czech, uzavírací differentiates a device’s closing function from a state described by uzavřený (closed).
