  • Patent number: 8529507
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cannula protector that serves to cover a cannula which has been attached to a syringe, particularly for the purpose of preventing unintended damage to the cannula as well as contamination of the cannula shortly before its use on the patient. The invention also relates to a single-use syringe system with such a cannula protector. A cannula protector according to these principles includes a tubular sleeve and a bellows which, in part together with the sleeve, completely encloses at least the area of the cannula. The cannula protector usually also comprises a radially acting clamp or engagement spring, whose function is to hold the inserted single-use syringe in the desired position, or to activate the protective mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20130008907
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure device for a container storing a first medium, which has a chamber (07) for storing a second medium. The closure device comprises a closure cap (01) for closing a through-opening (14). The chamber (07) comprises a filler tube fastened to the closure cap (01) and a lid insert (08) fastened in the filler tube via a sealed connection. The chamber (07) is guidable into the through-opening (14) and is fastened to the closure cap (01). Furthermore, on a side turnable to face the interior of the container, the chamber (07) is closed, along a predetermined tear line (21), by a lid (09) formed integrally with the lid insert (08). The lid (09) further comprises an actuating member (19) with which, as the chamber (07) is guided out of the through-opening (14), the lid (09) is opened by tearing the predetermined tear line. The lid (09) can be pivoted via a hinge (11) designed integrally with the lid insert (08) towards the lid insert (08).

  • Patent number: 8292103
    Abstract: The container closure (1) includes a flange (2) having an inlet opening (2p) and an outlet tube (2a) having a thread (2b) arranged after the inlet opening (2p) in the outflow direction and includes a rotary closure (3) with an outlet opening (3p) and with a thread (3i), wherein the two threads (2b, 3i) engage into one another and are aligned such that the rotary closure (3) is rotatable with respect to the flange (2) about an axis of rotation (D) and is displaceably mounted in the direction of the rotary axis (D), wherein the flange (2) includes a sealing lip (2i) projecting towards the axis of rotation (D) which forms the inlet opening (2p) extending concentric to the axis of rotation (D), wherein the rotary closure (3) has a spigot (3a) arranged concentric to the axis of rotation (D) which is arranged in the outflow direction after the inlet opening (2p) and wherein the spigot (3a) and the sealing lip (2i) are designed mutually matched so that the spigot (3a) which can be displaced in the direction of the a

  • Patent number: 7549558
    Abstract: A pouring closure includes a flange for welding onto a combipack or to the foil material of a container sealed with the foil material, along with an upwardly projecting circular rim thereon and a rotatable combined lid and pouring nozzle that can be clipped onto the upwardly projecting circular rim, which forms a piercing edge arrangement. This piercing edge arrangement includes a part of a cap lid, which can be opened from the lid surface around a swinging axis. Two piercing cutters are on the lower side of this part of the cap lid behind its swinging axis and near the edge of the cap rim and are able to be folded up beyond a level of the lower side of the flange and to pierce the combipack or the membrane liner running below the flange. Thereafter, the lid and pouring nozzle is rotated on the flange rim, so that the two piercing cutters cut-out a disc, of approximately 360°, from the combipack or the membrane liner after the folding upwards movement.

  • Patent number: 7458486
    Abstract: The self-opener closure consists of a pour-out spout (2) which may be sealingly assembled onto a composite packaging or onto a container spout or bottle spout to be closed with film material, of an associated rotary cap (1) as well as a self-opener sleeve (3) arranged within the pour-out spout (2) which may be set into rotation by the rotary cap (1). Force transmission means and guide means are formed on these three elements. These cooperate with one another such that on rotating the rotary cap (1) in the opening direction for the first time the self-opener sleeve (3) firstly in the pour-out spout (2) may be pushed vertically downwards and subsequently may be rotated by approximately 360° in the horizontal. Because the self-opener sleeve (3) at its lower edge and projecting from this comprises a single, combined piercing and cutting member (9) the film or the composite packaging is first reliably pierced and afterwards a disk is cut cleanly out of it and pivoted downwards.

  • Publication number: 20070108153
    Abstract: A drinking and pouring closure includes a spout with a radially downwardly-extending flange for welding into a composite packaging, or a spout with a lower threaded cap molded thereon for screwing onto a bottle thread. A mouth or pouring piece may be plugged onto the spout, which forms a piercing cutter on the inner side of the spout, fitting therein in the form of a nipple. As a result, at least one piercing tip is formed with the lower edge thereof and a cutting edge curving upwardly therefrom at an angle to the nipple rotation axis. The mouth or the pouring sleeve also forms a sleeve on the outer side of the spout, which surrounds the spout. Interlocking guides are molded between the outside of the spout and the inside of the sleeve, which, upon depressing the mouth or pouring piece on the spout, generate a rotation of the mouth or pouring piece on the spout, so that the piercing piece cuts a disc out of the composite or film material and then swings the same downwards.

  • Patent number: 7207465
    Abstract: The self-opener closure comprises a spout (2) having a projecting lower rim (9) which is to be molded or glued to a composite packaging, an associated rotary cap (1) as well as a self-opener sleeve (3) arranged within the spout (2). This self-opener sleeve (3) can be made to rotate by the rotary cap (1). The inner side of the spout (2) is provided with four guide webs having varying inclines arranged over its inner circumference. These interact with specially formed guide ribs at the outer wall of the self-opener sleeve (3), which brings about that the self-opener sleeve (3), when continuously rotated in the inside of the spout (2), and by being guided at these guide ribs, describes an uneven downwardly directed movement, which superposes its rotational movement.
