  • Patent number: 11814196
    Abstract: A pressure-tight storage vessel contains a liquid, has an elongated main body rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry, and forms, at least partially, a rotationally symmetrical hollow space in which the liquid is substantially received, wherein the main body is terminated at its bottom side by a base. Furthermore, at its top side, the storage vessel has an opening which is closed off in a pressure-tight manner by a closure, has a plurality of reinforcement elements, which bears against the main body at the outside, which extends parallel to the axis of symmetry of the main body, and arranged rotationally symmetrically about the axis of symmetry of the main body. In each case between adjacent reinforcement elements, respective externally exposed wall sections of the main body are formed, and the composition of the exposed wall sections permits a pressure-tight insertion by at least two hollow needles.

  • Patent number: 10722891
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage container for liquids, comprising a liquid-tight tank with an upwardly directed opening, wherein the opening is closed in a leaktight fashion by a protective film comprising an outer layer and an inner layer, wherein the outer layer is an aluminium foil and the inner layer is a plastic film, wherein the outer layer can be removed from the storage container separately from the inner layer, and wherein the inner layer can be pierced by a hollow needle; an assembly comprising at least two storage containers according to the invention; and a method for producing the assembly according to the invention, comprising the steps of providing at least two storage containers according to the invention, and applying a continuous layer of an adhesive film on the outer layers of the protective films of the at least two storage containers.

  • Patent number: 10345206
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-tight storage vessel containing a liquid, wherein the storage vessel has an inner floor and an upper side and is closed in a pressure-sealing manner by a closure, and wherein the nature of the storage vessel allows pressure-sealing piercing with at least two hollow needles; and to a method for transferring a liquid from a storage vessel to a reaction vessel, the method comprising the following steps: supplying the storage vessel according to the invention, pressure-sealing piercing with a first hollow needle, which is connected to a rinsing-liquid tank, and pressure-sealing piercing with a second hollow needle, which is connected to the reaction vessel, introducing rinsing liquid from the rinsing-liquid tank, via the first hollow needle, into the storage vessel, the liquid being driven out of the storage vessel, via the second hollow needle, into the reaction vessel; and to an apparatus which is suitable for implementing the method according to the invention.
