Abstract: A lamp assembly comprising at least one elongated fluorescent tube and an elongated reflector of trough-like shape having a longitudinal center plane coincident with the longitudinal axis of the fluorescent tube. The shape of the reflector (10) is variable. Adjusting devices (34, 36) at least at one end of the reflector (10) changes the position of the free longitudinal edges (32) of the reflector (10), which forces the shape of the reflector (10) to change also.

Abstract: A stopper for sealing containers for pharmaceutical liquids, especially infusion bottles, which stopper has a collar, which projects into the neck of the container; an edge, which rests on the neck of the container; and a puncture area, enclosed by the edge and the collar, the stopper being held on the neck of the container by a protective cap of metal or plastic, characterized in that the puncture area (3) is designed to have such elasticity and flexibility with respect to the edge (9) and the collar (6) that, after the stopper has been inserted into the neck (4) of the container, the puncture area bulges slightly outward; and in that, after the puncture needle (15) of an infusion kit (16) has been inserted into the stopper, the puncture area bulges down into the neck (4) of the container.

Abstract: The combination comprising, a bearing housed in a belt pulley, a sealing disk covering the bearing clamped between the head of a screw and the inner ring of the roller bearing, means attaching said sealing disk 4 directly to the inner ring axially and radially and including projections 13, 14 extending into the bore of the inner ring to secure the screw 3 for transport.
