Abstract: A method for marking pharmaceutical articles is characterized by comprising marking the pharmaceutical articles with an ink that is invisible under normal light conditions and that is visible under specific light conditions, such as under UV light.

Abstract: An implantation cartridge for a pipe connection designed to be fitted in a housing includes a body and a quick coupling, the inlet of the housing has an annular rim designed to form, with the pipe in the connection end position and when the cartridge is in an intermediate insertion position in its housing, a stop for limiting the axial travel of the push button so as to make the connection of the pipe to the cartridge irreversible.

Abstract: A flaring machine comprises a forming die (14) mounted on a support, two jaws (6) forming a clamping tool for holding one end of pipe (4) to be flared, driving means (17, 18) permitting an orbital motion of the forming die, driving means (25) permitting the forming die to move towards pipe end (4) and means permitting the forming die to move away from pipe end (4). Jaws (6) are disposed in a stationary jaw holder forming a first block (1). A second stationary block (2) faces the first block. A mobile block (3) comprising forming die (14), its support and its driving means (17) is provided with guiding means (12) connecting the two stationary blocks. Mobile block (3) is driven in translational motion by a hydraulic cylinder disposed in the second stationary block (2).

Abstract: The retractable stop associated with the valve (14) of the female element (2) consists of a spring (26) in catch (hook) form (26), of which the branches (26a) are engaged on the stem (14a) of the valve (14), so as to grip it constantly between two zones, diametrically opposite each other, while the sliding ring (24) has, at its end turned toward the collar (20), a cylindrical segment (24b) of diameter (D3) greater than that of the first section (14'a) of the stem (14a) of the valve (14), and between its end (24a), designed to come in contact with the shoulder (23) of the stem (14a) and the said cylindrical segment (24b), a truncated cone segment (24c), of which the small diameter is equal to the diameter (D1) of the first section (14'a) of the stem (14a), and which is designed to be situated between the branches (26a) of the catch (26) when the ring (24) is supported against the shoulder (23) of the stem (14a) of the valve (14), and this latter is in normal opening position.
