Abstract: The invention concerns an injection device for apportioning set doses of a drug from a reservoir to a subject. The injection device comprises a housing having an interior thread formed as an outwardly pointing thread carried on an upstanding tower centrally located in the injection device. The outwardly pointing thread forms a first thread connection with an interior thread of a rotatable scale drum. The injection device further comprises a driver for moving a piston rod forward when moved axially. The driver operates the piston rod through a second thread connection having a pitch different than the first thread connection.

Abstract: The present Invention relates to an injection device capable of emitting a flashing light signal indicating the time elapsed since last ejection and/or the size of the last ejected dosage and/or a return signal indicating the operable state of the device and/or a time out signal indicating when the pen can be removed after ejecting of a dosage. The injection device comprises an electronic control circuit comprising: a sensor unit arranged to detect the occurrence of an ejection of a drug from the injection device; a timer for determining an approximate time elapsed since last ejection; a signal emitting device being able to emit a signal, the signal emitting device being controllable by the electric control circuit, so as to emit a time signal that varies with the time elapsed since last ejection.

Abstract: An air shot or priming mechanism for an injection pen. The injection pen comprises a cartridge-holder and a housing. The cartridge-holder interacts with a nut-member capable of driving the piston rod forward when relatively rotated. The cartridge-holder is rotational coupled to the housing such that rotation of the cartridge-holder relatively to the housing causes the nut-member and the piston rod to rotate relatively, thus the relative angular rotation between the cartridge-holder and the housing determines the size of the air shot so performed.

Abstract: The invention concerns an injection device for apportioning set doses of a drug from a reservoir to a subject. The injection device comprises a dose setting member (20, 70) which is screwed out from the housing (30) to set a dose and pushed axially back to the housing (30) in order to expel the set dose. A scale drum (80) is axially and inrotatable coupled to the dose setting member (20, 70) such that the scale drum (80) is rotated up a thread (34) when the dose setting member (20, 70) is rotated to set a dose. When the dose setting member (20, 70) is pushed axially back to its initial position to inject the set dose, the scale drum (80) is released from its inrotatable connection in order to allow the scale drum (80) to rotate down the thread (34) and back to its zero position.

Abstract: The application disclosed concerns an injection device for apportioning set doses of a drug from a reservoir (40) to a subject. The injection device comprises a rotatable scale drum (50) which is screwed out from the proximal end of the injection device when a does is set. The rotatable scale drum (50) is coupled to a piston rod drive (100, 130) through a push button (30) and a connector pipe (80). When setting a does, the push button (30) engages the scale drum (50) such that both the push button (30) and the scale drum (50) rotate away from the housing (10). During injection, the scale drum (50) is released from the push button (30) and engaged with the connector pipe (80) in order to rotate the piston rod (120).

Abstract: Within the foodstuffs, the pharmaceutical and corresponding industries, it is of the utmost importance that the insides of tanks and the equipment existing herein can be held completely clean without the risk of undesired bacterial growth, cross-contamination etc. Equipment for the cleaning of tanks comprises a submerged pipe with a nozzle head mounted on the bottom, through which nozzles cleaning fluid is sprayed from below and upwards, while at the same time the nozzles are rotated and turned around inside the tank. In order to ensure an effective cleaning of this submerged equipment, according to the invention this equipment is configured so that cleaning fluid is constantly led out over the pipe (7) which extends down into the tank.

Abstract: An apparatus for inverting and returning sheets from a printer (1) for large-sized paper comprises an inlet area (11) where the sheet is received from the printer (1), and an outlet area (12) where said sheet is returned to the printer (1). The apparatus comprises a frame (16) mountable on the support of the printer (1), and a guiding slit (18) in the inlet area, said guiding slit being defined by an upper wall (13) and a lower wall (17), where the lower wall (17) extends from the inlet (11) to a clamping slit (22) between a first pair of roller means (23, 24) for receiving and temporarily retaining the front edge of a sheet when seen in the advancing direction, said sheet being received through the inlet area. The lower guiding wall (17) is tiltable and adapted to be moved about a substantially horizontal axis from a sheet-supporting position to a downward sheet-releasing position.

Abstract: A sorter mailbox has a sheet transport for moving sheets through a feed path to a set or sets of vertically spaced receiver trays having sheet deflecting gates which are actuated so as to sowing toward or into an open sheet deflecting position so as to contact with light spring pressure a sheet moving through the sheet feed path but to open to deflect the sheet into a selected tray from the sheet feed path.

Abstract: A moving bin sorter of the type in which the trays are individually and collectively moved vertically relative to a sheet inlet location and opened to provide an enlarged sheet entry space for receiving the sheets, has cams and counterbalancing springs to lift the trays supported in a support structure which maintains the trays in parallel relation, thereby maintaining equal spacing for printed sheet storage along the complete effective length of the trays. In one form, the support structure is a unit moved upwardly by the springs, and in another form, the support structure has a member integrated with the tray housing and a cooperative member moved upwardly by the springs, the trays being supported at all times in parallel relation.

Abstract: A moving bin sorter of the type in which the trays are individually and collectively moved vertically relative to a sheet inlet location and opened to provide an enlarged sheet entry space for receiving the sheets, has trays displaced in a manner which controls and allows them to move parallel to each other at all times. Alignment and registration units have steel rule type members oppositely extensible into the enlarged sheet entry space with pads on the ends thereof conforming in shape to the enlarged sheet entry space for aligning the edges of various sizes of sheets and moving sets of sheets laterally of the trays to a stapler and returning the stapled sets towards the center of the trays.
