Patent number: 11982300Abstract: A fastening apparatus includes a head element for abutting a first edge region of a component opening and an anchor foot element for rear engagement with a second edge region lying opposite the first edge region. The anchor foot element has a base section extending from the head element in axial direction and four locking arms arranged in pairs and connected to the base section. Each pair of locking arms is configured in order to be pivotable relative to an axial central plane of the fastening apparatus, and each pair of locking arms has locking/centering stages arranged offset from one another in axial direction. A locking/centering stage comprises a centering surface for centering the fastening apparatus relative to a component opening and a locking surface for rear engagement with a component opening. A locking surface and a centering surface of a locking/centering stage are arranged approximately orthogonally to one another.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Christian Pfeiffer, Thiemo Ammann, Roland Classen

Publication number: 20150290082Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of filling a container with a liquid drug from a drug reservoir may include: a) connecting a container and a drug reservoir with a cannula such that the drug reservoir and the container fluidically communicate with each other via the cannula, while being hermetically sealed; b) reducing a first volume contained within the container to displace a gaseous medium from the first volume of the container via the cannula into a second volume contained within the drug reservoir; c) increasing the first volume of the container to displace the liquid drug from the second volume of the drug reservoir into the first volume of the container to fill the container; and d) disconnecting the container and the drug reservoir. Before performing action d), action b) and action c) can be successively performed more than once to stepwise increase an amount of liquid drug displaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2015Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Roger Haenggi, Urs Rindlisbacher, Franco Moia, Marcel Mueller, Christoph Huwiler, Florian Kuhni, Joerg Wermelinger, Andreas Lischewski, Christian Classen, Tilo Callenbach, Louis Widmer, Maurice Ducret
