Patent number: 11840366Abstract: A container, in particular in ampoule form, and consists entirely or predominantly of plastic materials and has a container body (10) for receiving a filling product (12). The filling product can be removed via a releasable container opening (22) after a closure part (18) has been removed, which closure part is detachably connected to the neck part (14) of the container body (10) along a separation line (20) in an unopened position. In the unopened position, a conically extending wall (36) on the neck part (14) on the container body (10) and a conically (38) or cylindrically extending wall (38a) on the closure part (18) adjoin the separation line (20). These walls (36, 38, 38a) delimit at least part of an annular space (40, 40a), one end of which opens out into the environment and the other end of which opens out into the separation line (20).Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Alexander Hammer, Daniel Bojbic, Oliver Kengeter

Patent number: 11376192Abstract: A plastic container product, particularly produced according to a blow-moulding, filling and sealing method, includes a container body having a container content and a head part (12) connected to the container body. The head part defines a removal region (14) closed by a head membrane (16) with joint seam (38) that passes through a surface (20) spanned by the head membrane (16) and that separates at least two penetrable regions (22, 24) on the free front side (26) of the head membrane (16), for the removal of the content. The joint seam (38), observed from the free front side (26) of the head membrane (16), has a seam line (36) that at least partially deviates from an imaginary straight line (32), extends inside the surface (20), is longer than the straight line (32) and at least partially encompasses the penetrable regions (22, 24).Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Alexander Hammer, Alexander Beier, Michael Schultes

Patent number: 11096866Abstract: A container of plastic material is produced using the blow, fill and seal method, with the filler material, enclosed by a container wall (15, 20) that can be autoclaved. At least one shape (19, 21, 23, 25, 29, 33) is provided in the container wall (15, 20) that ensures, despite a low relative air volume in the container, that when administering the filler material by infusion, the container wall (15, 20) collapses at least partially reducing the volume, without aeration of the container.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Alexander Hammer, Manfred Schreckenhoefer, Martin Groh

Patent number: 11046474Abstract: A container has a head piece (7). The container can be or is filled with a medium and is produced of plastic materials using a blow molding, filling, and sealing method. A transition region (13) is between the container (1) and a first type of a head surface (11) arranged on the head piece (7) at an end face, can be penetrated by a piercing or cutting part and extends with a specifiable curvature. A second type of a head surface (41) has a specifiable curvature, which is the same as the curvature of the head surface (39) of the first type, but preferably is different from it and is present on the head piece (7). The head surfaces transition into each other such that a whole surface is formed, which whole surface spans the free end of the transition region (13) directed away from the container (1). The head piece (7) is an integral component of the container (1).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTICK MASCHINEBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Karl Koeppel, Alexander Hammer

Patent number: 10932990Abstract: A transfer system for containers includes first and second containers (1), (5), which can be interconnected in a media-transferring way by a connection (7). The connection has a transfer device (27), when held in a locked position by a lock (25), prevents an exchange of media, and permits the exchange in an unlocked position in which the transfer device (7) is guided longitudinally movably in a seat (9) of the connection (7) for a transfer operation. The lock (25) is transferable to an unlocked position by the movement of at least one of the containers (5). The additional controls (13, 21) are present on the respective movable container (5), at least partially enclose the outer periphery of this container (5) and actuate the lock (25) of the transfer device (27) to unlock.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Karl Koeppel, Alexander Hammer

Patent number: 10464708Abstract: A container, in particular a plastic ampoule produced using a blow molding process, and filled and closed in the production mold, has a sleeve-shaped neck part (4) connected to a container body (2) as an axial extension. The neck part forms a seat (6) for a preformed insert (8) extending along the axis (12) of the neck part (4), and is formed in the production mold, on a peripheral region (14) of the insert (8). At least one sealing element (42; 68) is provided on the insert (8). The sealing element forms a seal in a sealing region surrounding the axis (12), in combination with a contact surface (38) formed on the seat (6) of the neck part (4).Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Johannes Geser, Michael Spallek, Alexander Hammer, Alexander Beier

Patent number: 10238813Abstract: A dispensing device includes a container with a receiving space containing a dispensable medium extractable via a dispensing element. A control body (19) with a connecting body (11) is longitudinally displaceable in a housing part (9), from an inactive base position to an active extraction position by a rotational movement. A media-carrying connection is created between the receiving space and the dispensing element. A control part of the control body (19) can be attached to a control path (54) of the connecting body (11). When the control body (19) moves rotationally relative to the housing part (9), each control part follows the rotational movement in an axially unchanged manner and brings the connecting body from the base position to an extraction position via each associable control path (54) of the connecting body (11). The control path comprises a slope.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: KOCHER-PLASTIK MASCHINENBAU GMBHInventors: Michael Spallek, Johannes Geser, Alexander Hammer, Alexander Beier, Alexander Muff
