  • Patent number: 11413405
    Abstract: An assembly for forming an injection device, comprising: a foot to be placed on a skin; a body comprising at least one needle, the body being movably mounted to the foot for allowing movement of the needle towards the skin, the needle extending out of a second contact surface by a predefined distance for limiting a penetration depth of the needle; first friction means for preventing movement of the body relative to the foot for causing a sudden acceleration; the assembly further comprising second friction means for creating a dynamic friction when the needle is moving towards the skin for keeping the skin stretched.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9931472
    Abstract: An intradermal injection device comprises a housing, a foot with an opening for passage of a needle; a reservoir movably mounted in the housing, and having a hollow space for holding a fluid; a hollow needle movably mounted in the housing and having a first end for penetrating the subject's skin and a second end for penetrating the reservoir, a plunger movably mounted in the housing for moving the needle through the opening for penetrating the subject's skin, and for pressing the fluid out of the reservoir. The reservoir is frictionally mounted inside the housing by first friction means, and the plunger is frictionally mounted to the reservoir by second friction means. The force to overcome the second friction is larger than the force to overcome the first friction.

  • Publication number: 20080124461
    Abstract: A laminator for multiplex entities comprising at least one pair of driven cylinders, the outermost surface of the cylinders being coated with a thermally conductive elastic material such that in operation the cylinders fail to make physical contact with one another for a period during each rotation, wherein each of the cylinders is provided with at least one heating means, the elastic material coating has a constant thickness for at least 50% of the circumference of the cylinders and the part of the circumference of the cylinders with an elastic material having a constant thickness is at least the length of the multiplex entities in the transport direction thereof; and a lamination process for producing a multiplex entity comprising the steps of: providing at least one pair of driven cylinders, the outermost surface of the cylinders being coated with a thermally conductive elastic material such that in operation the cylinders fail to make physical contact with one another for a period during each rotation, wh
