Abstract: A method and a device for producing filter inserts (1), in particular filter inserts (1) for preparing a coffee or tea filtrate, including the continuous folding (A) of a filter paper sheet (2) into a double layer (3), partially binding (B) the double layer (3) to a plurality of interconnected filter inserts (1) using at least one stamped seam (4) and separating (D) the interconnected filter inserts (1) from the filter paper sheet (2). The filter inserts (1) are provided with a label (5) after folding (A).

Abstract: A heated air cushion cover, especially for heat regulation of patients during surgeries, having at least one first material layer connected to at least perforated second material layer so as to form at least one hollow chamber through which an air stream can flow to the outer, patient side of the second material layer is improved by a homogeneous warm air output being produced on the patient side. The homogeneous warm air output is attained by an air-permeable third material layer being at least partially connected to the outer side of the second material layer. The third material layer diffusely distributes the air stream penetrating the perforations of the second material layer upon passing through the third material layer.

Abstract: The invention concerns a back table cover (1) for an operating room back table with different surgical instruments (2) wrapped in it such as Mayo stand covers, operating room drapes, adhesive strips, napkins, stockings, etc that is encased in a packaging (26).The invention is based on the problem of creating a table cover of the initially-cited kind in a quickly produced vacuum packaging (26) from which the table cover (1) can be removed undamaged and sterile with its surgical instrument set (2).This problem is solved according to the invention in that the folded table cover (1) is provided with an air-permeable zone (17, 20, 29, 30, 34) leading to the interior from at least one of its outer areas (18, 18a).

Abstract: An operation table cover is composed of a foil hose of thermoplastic material with a closed bottom region and an open head region provided with a circumferential reversed rim, with side edges closed by welding seams. The operation table cover is formed so that despite its substantially refuse-free manufacture, it can be fitted over the supporting surface of an operation table with a simple handling. For this purposes the side edges in the vicinity of the bottom region and directly under the reversed rim are provided with inwardly directed offset regions, and the reversed rim has the same width as the central region of the foil hose located between the offset regions.

Abstract: A carousel rotatable about a fixed axis carries a plurality of treatment units which are mounted on the carousel removably for easy repair and replacement. A supply fixed adjacent the carousel feeds a strip of pressable material tangentially toward the carousel. Each of the units has a cutter for severing from this strip a portion of the pressable material, a gripper for holding the strip during such severing, a winder for rolling up each of the severed portions into a tampon blank, a press for compressing the tampon blank into a finished tampon, and a heater for heating and thermally fixing the finished tampon. These various devices are all controlled by at least one cam fixed adjacent the carousel and operatively engageable with the various elements of each unit for synchronously operating same and thereby automatically producing tampons at a high production rate.
