Patent number: 9339359Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator instrument for applying dental compounds. The applicator instrument comprises an instrument head with a support structure and with a plurality of projections formed on the support structure. The projections are elastic and, in relation to a height extent, have less stiffness than the support structure. Between them, the projections enclose a receiving space for the dental compound. According to the invention, the projections have a planar configuration and, in relation to a width extent, are arranged substantially parallel to one another. The greatest diameter of the instrument head is between 2 mm and 3 mm. With the applicator instrument according to the invention, it is easier to apply the dental compound in dosed amounts and to spread the dental compound across the surface that is to be treated.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Gilltec GmbHInventors: Joachim Fritze, Jochen Heinz, Philipp Rolle

Patent number: 9220844Abstract: A syringe comprising a cylinder and a plunger arranged in the latter has a sealing element which, with a contact region, abuts an inner wall of the cylinder and seals an annular gap between the plunger and an inner wall of the cylinder. The contact region has a front section which, in the rest state, abuts the inner wall of the cylinder with an abutment pressure. The plunger is connected to the sealing element in such a way that the sealing element does not follow an initial movement of the plunger out of the rest state and such that the sealing element follows a continued movement of the plunger. The abutment pressure between the sealing element and the inner wall in the front section of the contact region decreases during the initial movement. With the syringe, less force is required in order to overcome the static friction between the sealing element and the inner wall of the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Transcodent GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Jochen Heinz

Publication number: 20150246185Abstract: A prefilled syringe includes a syringe cylinder (2), which has an open axial side, closed by a plunger, and another side closed by a Luer lock connection (4), molded on an end wall. A flowable medium (8) fills the syringe cylinder (2), a soft-elastic stopper (9) closes at least the Luer (5), and a tamper-evident closure (15) surrounds the outside of the stopper (9) and which has a predetermined breaking point. The syringe cylinder (2), the end wall (3), and the Luer lock connection (4) are formed as a single piece in the form of a transparent injection-molded plastic part. The tamper-evident closure (15) includes the same or a similar plastic as the syringe cylinder (2) and is welded to the end wall (3) of the syringe cylinder (2). The welding connection forms the predetermined breaking point, and the stopper (9) is integrated into the tamper-evident closure (15).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2013Publication date: September 3, 2015Applicant: TRANSCOJECT GMBHInventor: Jochen Heinz

Patent number: 8308472Abstract: A method of manufacturing or handling a substantially pure object includes shielding the substantially pure object from the environment by substantially enveloping the object in a fluid. A system for manufacturing a substantially pure object includes a mold for forming the object, and a machine adapted to remove the object from the mold. The machine includes a handling device for gripping the object and removing it from the mold. The handling device includes at least one nozzle through which fluid is delivered to substantially envelope the object during, for example, removal of the object from the mold. The object may be a medical object, such as a syringe, or a component or part thereof, such as a syringe barrel or plunger. In a preferred aspect, a molding process is conducted in a room exhibiting less than Class 100 conditions and/or in such a way that the object does not need to be subsequently cleaned or rinsed, as by air or water washing.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Transcoject GmbH & Co.
