Abstract: A barometer which includes a vacuum housing, a pivotably supported pointer shaft, a return spring for the pointer shaft and a transmission mechanism, which exhibits a pivotably supported output shaft, which runs perpendicular to the surface of the vacuum housing and whose pivoting is coupled with that of the pointer shaft, and has a helical element, so that the translational movement of the vacuum housing is converted into a pivoting movement of the output shaft by the cooperation between the helical element and the output shaft. The helical element (32) is made integral with the instrument, the output shaft (22) can both pivot and be axially displaced and the output shaft rests with an end portion thereof turned toward the vacuum housing and contacting (4) the vacuum housing and is held in this position by return spring (28). The transmission mechanism exhibits, in the form of the output shaft, only one movable part.

Abstract: Dispenser for a bottle top with a cylinder and a plunger that is adjustable relative to the cylinder for drawing up an adjustable quantity of liquid esp. reagent with a suction valve and a discharge valve and having a glass cylinder secured to a valve block which is threadedly received on a reagent bottle and where a cylinder sleeve slidably and rotably extends over the glass cylinder and is connected with the plunger which slides in the glass cylinder and where means are provided for adjusting the stroke of the plunger and to indicate the suction volume.
