Abstract: An electron beam installation, which is used for processing powdered material, has a powder container, which can accommodate a powder bed made of the powdered material to be processed. Furthermore, it has an electron beam generator, which is configured to direct an electron beam onto laterally differing locations of the powder bed. To reduce the dispersion of the powdered material during the processing using the electron beam, the electron beam installation has a frit device, which, by applying an AC voltage between at least two electrodes, generates an electromagnetic alternating field, which bonds the powdered material of the powder bed, at least in regions over the powder bed.

Abstract: To minimize the air volume present in a container following heat sealing, the dimensions of the flowthrough passage of the filling connection are decreased in a first heat sealing operation. Then, the container is elastically deformed by a punch to such an extent that the liquid content level rises up inside the filling connection. Finally, in a second heat sealing operation, the end segment of the now funnel-shaped flowthrough passage of the filling connection is heat sealed such that it is totally sealed without pores.

Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of a filled and closed container made of a heat-sealable plastic hose, particularly polyethylene, in one work operation, the plastic hose is expanded to become a container body, the body is filled and the upper part of the container is shaped when the container is closed. So that it will be possible to manufacture filled and closed containers with rubber stoppers in one work operation, after the filling process and before the closing process, the upper or head part of the container is closed by a rubber stopper, closing off the body so that a part of the rubber stopper projects into the part of the plastic hose which is still to be shaped, which is then shaped to conform to the outer circumference of the rubber stopper and, after the shaping process, the upper part of the container is closed off outside of the rubber stopper.

Abstract: A container, especially an ampoule, includes a pipette with an externally threaded part and a grip part connected to the container body by threading. The container is thermoplastic and is closed by a break-off cap having a break-off notch. To obtain access to the pipette, the container must be damaged to be opened. When the container is closed, the pipette is completely surrounded by the container.

Abstract: A plastic container, especially an ampoule, a bottle or the like, has a container neck on which a plug device, particularly a needle holder, can be mounted. The plug device is held on the container, without a special ring or the like, by a holder formed as a unitary part of the container. The holder forms a bayonette connection with a mating part on the plug device.

Abstract: A tear-open closure for a container comprises a thermoplastic cap having score lines on its top wall defining separated top parts, and a gasket. The gasket has at least two puncture points with at least one puncture point covered by each top part. The closure can be opened such that only one puncture point is exposed by removal of one top part, while the other puncture point remains covered by the other top part. The cap top wall rests on the gasket between the two score lines.

Abstract: A dosing container for dispensing liquid medications or other liquids includes a compressible body portion and a tubular dosing chamber with an opening. The diameter of the dosing chamber is chosen on the basis of the liquid viscosity so that liquid will remain in the chamber when it is above the body. Annular grooves in the chamber walls improve its performance.

Abstract: A thermoplastic container, particularly a bottle, has a one-piece container top unitarily formed with the container body and a container neck and enclosing a stopper of elastomeric material, particularly rubber. To prevent contact between the container contents and the stopper, a mounting and separating element is provided between the stopper and the container. The mounting element has tubular axially extending plug and retaining portions and has one edge which can be welded to the container and a radially projecting, thin weld ring.

Abstract: A plastic container, particularly a blow-molded bottle has a container top with a discharge opening having an annular rim, and a closure body for the opening and closing of the discharge opening. For easy opening and closing, at least one bearing cup is arranged on the side of the container top. The closure body is stirrup-shaped and configured at at least one end for engagement in the bearing cup and has a closure part shaped to cooperate with the discharge opening.

Abstract: In a process for making a filled and closed container of heat-sealable plastic hose, in one work operation, the hose is expanded to become a container body, the body is filled and the upper part of the container is shaped when the container is closed. After the filling process and before closing, the upper part of the container is closed by a rubber stopper. An apparatus to carry out the process includes a container-molding appliance having a lower and upper mold parts, with a mold holding fixture in each of the upper parts which can be displaced in the direction of movement of the upper mold part and be moved automatically opposite the upper mold part, and with a holding device inside the plastic hose which can be moved vertically. The holding device releasably holds the rubber stopper for insertion into the completed container body.
