  • Publication number: 20230320736
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ligature device for body parts, in particular a tourniquet, comprising a closure housing (2) in which a feed-through shaft (230) is formed which extends in the longitudinal direction and is delimited at the bottom by a base wall (27), laterally by two lateral walls (26, 26?) and at the top by a top wall (24), and comprising a ligature strap (3) which, by means of a clipping buckle (5) fastened to the one rear end thereof, is clipped or can be clipped detachably to a rear portion of the closure housing (2) and, with the other end thereof, is guided or can be guided from the rear side through the feed-through shaft (230) in order to form a loop (31) of variable size and can be firmly clamped according to the size of a received body part by means of a clamping means, in particular by means of a rocker (4) that is pivotally mounted in a pivot bearing in the closure housing (2).

  • Patent number: 10182825
    Abstract: A venous tourniquet having a constricting strap which can be placed around a body part, which strap is elastic in the direction of circumference or is provided with at least one elastic portion, and having a closing device by which the constricting strap can be locked into a tightening loop when the strap is positioned around a body part in the tightened state. One embodiment is advantageous if both structure and use is obtained by designing the closing device as a hook-and-loop fastener having two lockingly engaging closing parts.

  • Patent number: 8535264
    Abstract: A device for expressing milk, with a vacuum-generating unit, which includes a drive motor and a vacuum-generating device, with a switching unit, which is linked to the vacuum-generating unit and determines the suction cycles via a rotatably driven switching member, and with at least one milk expression attachment, which is or can be brought into flow communication therewith and which includes a suction funnel that can be placed on the breast, and a milk collection receptacle. A compact design with reliable function is achieved by the switching member being coupled to the drive motor of the vacuum-generating unit via a transmission for the rotary drive.

  • Patent number: 7291116
    Abstract: A plexor having a handle and a head attached to a front section, and having tapping elements seated on both sides on a receiving body. One tapping element terminates in a line-shaped tapping section, and the other tapping element terminates in a point-like tapping section. An orientation of the line-shaped tapping section can be rotated into different angular positions around an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the head and can be fixed in place in the desired rotated position.

  • Patent number: 4583970
    Abstract: A milk suction device consisting of a funnel and a piston pump connected thereto which can be operated easily as a hand-operated pump or as a motor driven pump. A hollow piston rod is constructed as an outwardly guided aeration duct and has a return valve as its opening located in the suction space of a cylinder of the pump, which return valve is closed during the suction stroke of the piston pump and is constructed as an aeration valve. A ventilation valve is arranged in a front face of the pump cylinder opposite the piston rod and in order to connect a motor driven pump, it is only necessary to slide its tube onto the free end of the piston rod.

  • Patent number: 4561437
    Abstract: A device for applying tension around an object such as a person's arm and leg comprises a tensioning member which has a first end portion which is connected to a rear end of a hollow basic member housing and includes a portion adapted to form an object encircling loop for engagement, for example around a person's arm and has a second opposite free end portion. The hollow basic member has a rear end wall with an entrance opening and a front end wall with an exit opening to facilitate passage of the free end portion of the tensioning member into the entrance opening through the hollow member and out the exit opening. The interior of the basic member includes a backup portion which has a backup surface over which the free end portion of the tensioning member is passed.
