Abstract: An improved handheld applicator is provided, fitted into an assembly onto a pressure container which is equipped with a gun valve and containing a viscous compound suitable for forming a silicone paste, a polyurethane (PU) foam, or a glue, the applicator being producible in one single injection molding step and providing in handheld use the ergonomics, the aiming and the dosing accuracy comparable to the use of the pressure container with a dispensing gun. Further provided is a process for the production of the applicator and of the assembly, as well as the use of the assembly for applying a compound from the pressure container with a handheld method.

Abstract: An inhaler with a mixing channel (1) for producing an aerosol to be inhaled includes an outlet (9) at one end that can be inserted in the mouth of a person in order to inhale the aerosol that is produced; at least one inlet (3) at its other end for drawing air into the mixing channel (1); and at least one injection zone (6) that lies between the inlet (3) and the outlet (9) and forms part of the channel wall. The injection zone (6) has at least one nozzle orifice (10) for supplying a liquid, especially a liquid drug, wherein the inner surface of the injection zone (6) is largely flush at least with that portion of the mean surface curvature (22) of the inner surface of the channel wall (11) that is adjacent to it on the inlet end. A possible height difference (17) between the inner surface of the injection zone (6) and that portion of the mean surface curvature (22) of the inner surface of the channel wall (11) that is adjacent to it is less than 1 mm or at most 100 ?m or at most 20 ?m.

Abstract: An improved coupling piece for the Click-and-Fix coupling of a disposable pressure container with a dispensing gun is provided, including an integrated cap and internal support legs for securing the position of the stem of the valve of the container when pressure increases inside the container, and which coupling piece may be produced as one single product using injection moulding. Further provided is an assembly of a container with the coupling piece, and a process for producing the coupling piece and the assembly. The coupling piece and/or the assembly may be further adapted for handheld use with a suitable handheld applicator.

Abstract: A dual purpose coupling piece is provided for on the one hand the screw coupling of a disposable pressure container with a dispensing gun, and which further includes means for on the other hand also cooperating in a bayonet-type coupling with a suitable handheld applicator for application of the compound as in the handheld use. A suitable handheld applicator is also provided. The coupling piece and/or the handheld applicator may be designed for the production as one single product using injection moulding. Further provided is an assembly of a container with the coupling piece, and a process for producing the coupling piece and the assembly, as well as the handheld applicator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring module for medical application which is provided with a housing comprising a number of first connections for catheters, a number of pressure sensors, a number of conduits for fluid connection to one of the first connections, wherein each of the conduits comprises at least one opening for the purpose of fluid connection to one of the pressure sensors, and at least one second connection for a communication module for transfer of measurement data from the pressure sensors to the communication module. The measuring module has the feature that at least one gasket, which leaves the openings clear, is arranged between the conduits and the pressure sensors. The invention also relates to a method for assembling a measuring module according to the invention.

Abstract: A beverage holder for use in vehicles that prevents beverages placed within the holder from spilling. The beverage holder includes a tray and drink well housed within the tray. Additionally, the tray may have a pivot member mounted to it which connects the tray to a beverage guard. The beverage guard may be moved in a range of positions so that it completely covers the drink well and also leaves the drink well free for a cup to be placed within. The beverage guard is slightly larger than the size of the drink well and can be rotated to cover the drink well when a cup or glass has been placed within it. When not in use, the beverage guard may be moved in a position not covering the drink well.
