Abstract: The lens holder is used to transfer an intraocular lens from a relaxed state into an elastically deformed state so that it can be injected with the aid of a co-operating device into an eye, where it resumes its relaxed state again. The lens holder (1) contains a flexible backing support (8) which can be deformed from an open position, in which it accommodates an intraocular lens in its relaxed state, into a closed position in which it is inserted in said device. The intraocular lens is inserted in the opened lens holder and the latter is then moved into its closed position by bending it. As a result, the intraocular lens is deformed uniformly and without excessive local stress.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for inserting deformable intraocular lenses. Said device comprises a housing (1) for receiving an intraocular lens in an elastically deformed state, a cannula (3), and an advancing mechanism (4-10) for transporting the intraocular lens through the cannula (3) into an eye. The injector is suitable for a two-stage working method wherein one person prepares the injector and another person injects the intraocular lens into the eye. Furthermore, the advancing mechanism is embodied in such a way that the intraocular lens can be transported into the cannula (3) by means of a translatory actuating movement on an actuating head (9), and the intraocular lens can be ejected from the cannula (3) by means of a rotatory actuating movement on a pivoting part (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device that permits an intra-ocular lens, which has been elastically deformed, to be injected through a cannula (5) into an eye by means of a ram (6) with a translatory displacement action. The device contains a lens holder (1), which can be inserted into said device. The lens holder contains an elastic base (8), which is deformable in such a way that it can be converted from a relaxed, open position into a tensioned, closed position by bending. During said deformation, the intra-ocular lens that is in contact with the lens holder (1) is subjected to an increased curvature. This permits the careful deformation of the intra-ocular lens and a precise, reliable injection of the latter.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fuel cartridge for the supply of a fuel cell device, with an outlet device, which is formed such that it can be opened by an opening device of a cartridge receptacle device appropriate to the fuel cartridge. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cartridge receptacle device for a fuel cartridge of this type which comprises guidance and retention devices for guiding and retaining the fuel cartridge, opening devices for opening the fuel cartridge, and fuel extraction devices for extracting the fuel from the fuel cartridge. In addition the invention relates to a fuel cell device with this type of cartridge receptacle device.
