Abstract: A blood collecting valve (10) is provided with a structural input part (11.1) with a half moon shaped separating wall opening (18) as well as a structural output part (12.1) which is rotatable with respect to the structural input part with a seal face opening (23). Both are disposed outside of the rotational axis of the associated structural parts. Thereby, it is possible to bring the two opening into congruence with each other by rotating around the rotational axis or to again sealingly separate the same from each other.The mentioned common rotating of the structural input part and the structural output part and thereby the opening and closing of the blood collection valve may be performed by rotating a blood collecting cylinder (16) being inserted into the structural output part with an application conus (15). Hence, no separate manual handling is required for using the blood collection valve.

Abstract: A nock for arrows is disclosed. This nock is formed so that at all times during spanning of the bow and firing of the arrow, the nock-location section of the bowstring will be received in the nock so that the collar lies evenly against the bottom of the furrow of the nock for accurate firing of the arrow.

Abstract: In a blood lancet consisting of a handle and a tip, which are injection molded in one piece of plastic, there is provided according to the invention a protective yoke which protects the tip against damage. The protective yoke (24) is integrally molded to the handle in one piece, leaving predetermined break points, so that it can be broken off. The tip of rhombic cross-section comprises a base which imparts mechanical stability and limits the pricking depth, and an offset fine pricking tip.
