Abstract: A package is used for the packaging of an anchor element together with a suture thread which is threaded on the latter. It is proposed to provide the package with an outer casing hermetically closed to the outside, the casing container holder which receives said anchor element and which has a seat for the suture thread already wound on the anchor element.

Abstract: The wheel body of a tape wheel possesses two outer half shells which are fastened to the wheel hub. The two outer half shells are arranged in conically inclined relationship to one another with respect to a connecting plane and form a wheel rim by means of annular wall parts. Within the wheel body there may be located an inner stiffening shell which diagonally extends toward the exterior from one flange of the wheel hub to a free end of the other outer half shell. The inner stiffening shell abuts against the annular wall parts by means of an annular shell portion. The transverse or axial stiffness or rigidity of the wheel body and thus of the entire tape wheel is increased in a particularly advantageous manner.

Abstract: The picking band wheel is made of a hub and two wheel discs. Each disc is provided with pocket-like spoke parts which have transverse walls at the bottom which abut the transverse walls of the other disc on a common connecting plane disposed substantially perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The front disc has a conical end wall in which the pocket-like spoke parts are formed so that an alternating spoke pattern is formed. The back disc has a flat end wall.
