  • Patent number: 9399094
    Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly comprising a skin-mountable device with a mounting surface, the device being arranged in a packaging releasably attached to the device and having an opening through which the device can be moved when detached from the packaging. The device and the packaging comprises cooperating attachment structure, whereby the attachment structure allows the packaging to be moved in parallel with a skin surface for a predetermined distance when a force in parallel with the skin is applied to the packaging in the first direction, yet prevents movement of the packaging away from the general plane. The attachment structure between the packaging and the skin-mountable device, allows the packaging to be used as a handling tool to place the device on a skin surface, the attachment structure preventing that the device inadvertently falls out during handling, yet allows for easy and safe removal.

  • Publication number: 20090163874
    Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly comprising a skin-mountable device (10) with an adhesive mounting surface (31), the device being arranged in a packaging (20) comprising an opening with a surrounding portion and being closed with a seal member (40) releasably attached to the surrounding portion (22), thereby providing a closed space for the device. The seal member has an inner surface releasably attached to the adhesive, the seal member being penetratable by a sterilizing gas, wherein the inner surface is partially coated with a material (42, 44) allowing the seal member to be peeled from the adhesive, yet allows the sterilizing gas to penetrate the seal member. In this way a seal member is provided which to a high degree has two desirable properties: being gas penetratable yet allows the seal member to be peeled from the adhesive surface.

  • Patent number: 6126646
    Abstract: A plastic adaptor top for adapting to a chosen syringe a standard cartridge of the kind having a neck with a flange and being closed by a rubber membrane sealingly secured against the flange by a metal cover having its edge beaded behind the flange. This plastic top has a bore for receiving the neck part of the cartridge, which bore has a diameter making it fit over the metal cover and is provided with protrusions gripping behind the edge of the metal cover when the neck part is inserted in the bore. The outer contour of the adaptor top is provided with threads coaxial with the bore to receive a needle hub in a way causing the needle to penetrate the membrane of the cartridge when the hub is mounted on the thread of the plastic top.

  • Patent number: 5773061
    Abstract: An agglomerated powder is produced in an apparatus where the product is agglomerated in two stages. First, a liquid concentrated feed of the product is atomized by an atomizer in a drying chamber. The fine particles are transferred to a separating device to be split up in a first and second fraction. The first of these is led to the atomizer in the drying chamber to perform a first agglomeration and the resulting agglomerates are accommodated in an external fluid be in the drying chamber and from this transferred to an external fluid bed. Also the second fraction is transferred to the external fluid bed where water by a second atomizer is atomized over a fluidized layer of agglomerates to perform a second agglomeration of product.

  • Patent number: 5693027
    Abstract: A plastic top for adapting to a chosen syringe (14) a standard cartridge (8) of the kind having a neck (9) with a flange (10) and being closed by a rubber membrane (11) sealingly secured against the flange (10) by a metal cover (12) having its edge beaded behind the flange. This plastic top has a bore (2) for receiving the neck part (9) of the cartridge (8), which bore (2) has a diameter making it fit over the metal cover (12) and is provided with protrusions (3;9) gripping behind the edge of the metal cover (12) when the neck part (9) is inserted in the bore. The outer contour of the plastic top is adapted to the syringe type in which the cartridge is going to be used.The plastic top is provided with a thread (5;18) coaxial with the bore to receive a needle hub (13) in a way making its needle (15) penetrate the membrane (11) of the cartridge (8) when the hub (13) is mounted on the thread (5) of the plastic top.

  • Patent number: 5630525
    Abstract: A dispenser for consecutive dispensing of tablets in a fixed order comprising a cylindrical body defining along its periphery a number of juxtaposed vertical chutes each accommodating a number of tablets piled on edge radially oriented in the body, a cup shaped dispensing part comprising a bottom plate having an upstanding cylindric wall and forming a stop at the lower end of the chutes. An opening in the cylindric wall allows a tablet on edge to pass from the outside of the cup into the inner space thereof. Above the opening a protrusion extends radially outwards from the cylindric wall into the space between a tablet abreast of the opening and a possible overlying tablet in the chute, and a wall adjacent to the opening extends into the lower ends of the chutes. A detent mechanism makes the body and dispensing part stepwise unidirectionally rotatable in relation to each other.

  • Patent number: 5405047
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing tablets one at a time from an unarranged stock of tablets in the dispenser. The dispenser comprises a first reservoir part axially displaceable in a second reservoir part against the force of a spring (4). A trough shaped part (5,6) at the inner end of the first part forms with a partition (13) at the bottom of the second part a downward closed channel accommodating at least two tablets when the dispenser is in its neutral position. When the dispenser is operated by forcing the first part further into the second part, a bottom (7) closing the channel is passed free of the partition (13) and the lowermost tablet is dispensed. At the same time two fingers (9) are passed into the space left at the sides of the channel between the lowermost tablet and the adjacent tablet above it to ensure that only the lowermost tablet is dispensed.

  • Patent number: 4256264
    Abstract: A material grinding tube mill having a composite diaphragm (5) at the outlet end of a grinding chamber (3). The diaphragm comprises a coarse grate (6) facing the grinding chamber (3) for retaining grinding bodies in the chamber (3), and, on the side of the grate (6) remote from the chamber, a sieving screen (7) for sieving the ground product. The coarse grate has a plurality of openings (20) which constitute substantially the effective open area of the coarse grate. Disposed within the space defined between the coarse grate (6) and the sieving screen (7) are guiding members (21, 22) to guide coarse particles backwards to the grinding chamber (3) through one or more apertures (19) in the coarse grate (6) which allows free passage of the coarse particles.

  • Patent number: 3964717
    Abstract: A tube mill for dry grinding of a granular material, the mill being formed with one or more grinding compartments charged with grinding bodies and, downstream of the first or sole grinding compartment, a relatively short compartment bounded downstream by a dam ring having a central opening and upstream by a sieving diaphragm for holding back the grinding bodies, but permitting fluidized ground material to flow from the upstream grinding compartment to the short compartment and vice versa, the short compartment being adapted to serve as a reservoir of fluidized ground material.
