Abstract: A stopper device including a stopper, cap and ring provided with tabs for locking onto a container neck and a body for handling the ring. The body includes a first mechanism for transmitting a thrust force to the ring and a second mechanism for activating the tabs. The ring and the handling body are respectively provided with first and second retainers that hold the handling body in a waiting position. The handling body is mobile parallel to the thrust force direction and in relation to the ring, between a first position activating the tabs of the ring and is mobile in translation only in the thrust force direction, and a second position that also activates the tabs and is immobilized in relation to the ring in axial translation. The tabs extend from a continuous edge of the ring and are each arranged in an opening with a closed contour.

Abstract: This device comprises an elastomer stopper (501) and a cap (502) suitable for covering both the neck (12) of a container and the stopper in position in this neck. The cap comprises a ring (503) provided with means (503G) for locking it to the neck and an operating member (504). The operating member (504) is fitted with at least one deformable part (506C) for transmitting a thrust load (f2) parallel to a central axis (X503) of the ring (503), between two portions (505, 506) of this member (504) or between an external material (301) and this member (504). The load transmitting part (506C) is deformable between a first configuration in which its length (L506) parallel to the central axis (X503) is a first value and a second configuration in which this parallel length is a second value that is less than the first value.

The ring (53) is provided with a continuous outer peripheral collar (5311), and the handling body (54) is provided with at least one raised element (5431) designed to abut (E4) against the continuous outer peripheral collar (5311) when the edge (541) activates the locking tab (537).

Abstract: A closure (2) for a container for pharmaceuticals, in particular a sterile container, includes a closure body (2) that is prefabricated from a non-elastic material. The container has a crucible shape with a bottom (3) and a wall (4, 5). At least one piercable opening (8) is incorporated in the bottom (3) of the crucible-shaped closure body (2) and provided for adding or removing liquid pharmaceuticals. The piercable opening (8) is sealed by a sealing element (7). The sealing element (7) is held in a receptacle (12), which is formed by the bottom (3) and a holding element (11) protruding toward the inside in the use position of the closure (1).

Abstract: A piston stopper (2) made substantially of rubber has a piston section (8) enclosed in cap-like manner by an inert film (9?) facing the contents of a syringe or carpule cylinder (1), the inert film (9?) being located adjacent to the syringe or carpule cylinder (1). Adjacent to the piston section (8), the piston stopper (2) has a non-coated sealing section (10). According to a device and method for producing one such piston stopper (2), a non-vulcanized rubber sheet (7) is inserted into a form tool, together with an inert film (9). Under the effect of pressure and heat, an entire piston stopper contour is formed from the layered arrangement, extending to a flange (16) which protrudes laterally beyond the piston stopper (2) in the region of the separating plane of the form tool. A receiving cavity (6) for a piston rod is created in the piston section (8). The wall area of the sealing section (10) surrounding the receiving cavity (6) is forced into the receiving cavity (6).

Abstract: A closure (1) for a medicament bottle has a cap portion (2), which can be joined to the bottle and which has at least one opening (3) closed by an elastic, puncturable sealing layer (4). The opening (3) is covered on the exterior of the cap portion by a cover element (5) which, with its edge area (6) that encircles the opening (3), is joined with positive, interlocking fit, but without material bonding with the rim (8) of the opening (3). The sealing layer touches the rear side of the covering element facing the opening in a manner that is flush, sterile and without material bonding. The closure is made by a process in which the cap portion and cover element(s) are first produced and joined together, and then the sealing layer is injected into the cap portion.
