Patent number: 10182825Abstract: A venous tourniquet having a constricting strap which can be placed around a body part, which strap is elastic in the direction of circumference or is provided with at least one elastic portion, and having a closing device by which the constricting strap can be locked into a tightening loop when the strap is positioned around a body part in the tightened state. One embodiment is advantageous if both structure and use is obtained by designing the closing device as a hook-and-loop fastener having two lockingly engaging closing parts.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: KIMETEC GMBHInventors: Hansjörg Kirchner, Claudia Kirchner, Caroline Ihle

Publication number: 20110098639Abstract: A milk extraction device including at least one extraction part with an intermediate piece that is, or can be, detachably fastened on the opening of a receptacle and that is linked with a breast piece in a vacuum-tight manner so as to exert a sucking effect on the breast. The device also includes a cap that is, or can be, linked with the intermediate piece in a vacuum-tight manner. An elastic, liquid-tight separating membrane is inserted in the cap and transmits a varying vacuum from the pump unit to the interior of the intermediate piece and the breast piece. The cap is detachably connected to an adapted coupling section of the intermediate piece by a coupling counter-section, thereby meeting increased hygienic standards and simplifying the use of the milk extraction device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2005Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventor: Claudia Kirchner

Patent number: 7320699Abstract: A ligature device for body parts, with a closure housing, having a base wall, two lateral walls, a cover wall on the upper side thereof and a ligature strap, which may be coupled or is detachably coupled at one end of the closure housing, by a clipping buckle which may be introduced from the rear between an intermediate wall and the cover wall. The above is run or may be run with the other free end thereof between a rocker, pivotably mounted on the base wall and an intermediate wall, arranged at a separation above, through the closure housing, to form a loop and may be clamped by the rocker against a front section of the intermediate wall, connected to the closure housing. Easy manipulation is achieved with a simple construction, whereby the intermediate wall includes a sprung section, projecting from the upper side, by which the rear section of the clipping buckle is raised and pressed, in the assembled state, with the back upper face thereof against a counter support, fixed to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Kimetec GmbHInventor: Claudia Kirchner

Patent number: 7267662Abstract: A milk sucking pump having a top component with a breast joining piece and which is or can be detachably fixed to the opening of a container and a hand pump unit that is detachably connected thereto by a connecting branch or a connecting bore. The hand pump unit has a cap-like connection section and a pump piston which can be moved to and from in a piston-swept volume by a rotatable actuating handle that has a return mechanism. This invention provides a simple construction and good handling. The cap-like connection section and the piston-swept volume are combined to form a uniform cap component which is fixed to the top component. The return mechanism acts upon the actuating lever and is mounted on the cap component.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2000Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: KaWeCo GmbHInventor: Claudia Kirchner

Patent number: 5535485Abstract: A constriction device for limiting circulation of blood, fluids and other materials to limbs and other appendages. Compressive force can be applied to the limb or other appendage through the device's band which is held in place by the action of a clamping member. Compressive force may be variably or immediately released. The device is convenient to use and may be controlled with one hand leaving the other hand free to perform other tasks.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1994Date of Patent: July 16, 1996Assignee: Kimetec GmbHInventor: Claudia Kirchner
