Abstract: A filter holder, for a sterilization container (1), has a wall area (5) with ventilation openings (7), through which an exchange of air takes place between the interior space of the sterilization container and the surrounding area, covered by a filter sheet (10) to form a sterile barrier, sterilizing air entering the interior space. The filter sheet is held on the wall area (5, 6) by an air-permeable pressing disk. A holding pin (20), with a mounting hole (34), by which the pressing disk (12) can be pressed against the wall area in the axial direction (41), can be attached to a mounting pin (11), which is stationary relative to the wall area. The holding pin (20) is connected with the mounting pin in a pressed position via a detachable positive-locking connection (19, 51). The connection can be secured by an adjusting sleeve (21) mounted displaceably on the holding pin.

Abstract: A medical sterilization container has a removable container cover, which is provided in a wall area (4) with gas-exchange openings (5), with a filter unit (55) for gas exchange has an interchangeable filter sheet covering the gas-exchange openings (5) on the inside, which is arranged within a ring-shaped circumferential frame element (15) and is held pressably against an inside of the wall area (4) by a pressure washer (36) provided with openings (45). The pressure washer (36) is detachably connected to frame element (15) or the wall area (4) and has a ring groove (48) with a preferably elastic sealing ring (49), which seals the wall area (4) provided with the gas-exchange openings (5) against the frame element (15). To prevent a shifting of and/or damage to the filter sheet during a clamping process, the pressure washer (36) can be pressed against the wall area (4) by a spring washer (35).

Abstract: A lock for locking a sterilization container has box-like bottom part and a container cover that can be removed and placed airtightly and connected on the bottom part by a seal to form a closed sterilization space. The lock has a tensioning lever pivotable into an opened position, and a closing flap rotatable about an axis of rotation, with a positive-locking closed position with the tensioning lever. The tensioning lever is able to be brought via the closing flap, during the rotary motion of the closing flap into an opened rotated position, with the closing flap disengaged from the tensioning lever after a further rotary motion into a fully opened end position. The tensioning lever may be fixed in open, and the closing flap positive-lockingly engages with the tensioning lever during closing and the tensioning lever is able be to moved into a closed tensioned position by the closing flap.

Abstract: A sterilization container has a box-like lower part and a removable container cover (1), which form a closed, airtight sterilization space. Ventilating openings (4), through which exchange of air takes place between the sterilization space and the environment, are provided in a wall area (2) of the sterilization container. A cover plate (6) detachably meshes with the wall area (2) through at least one spring-loaded snap-in or locking connection (9). The cover plate (6), as a round disk with a peripheral ring wall, has on the outside a peripheral locking groove, which detachably meshes with a plurality of locking elements (9) arranged in the peripheral area of the cover plate (6). The locking elements (9) are arranged stationarily as a separate assembly unit each in mounting holes of ring segments (8) projecting axially over the wall area (2), which mounting holes extend at right angles to the cover plate (6).
