Abstract: To increase the accuracy of the administration of doses of inhalation therapies for animals, the invention proposes a two-part inhalation mask for animals in which each mask part (9) comprises an aerosol chamber (1) and an adaptation chamber (2). The two chambers are separated by a dividing wall (3) with an opening for the aerosol so that during the inhalation phases, the aerosol passes together with the respiratory air out of the aerosol chamber (1) into the adaptation chamber (2).

Abstract: The invention describes an inhalation or breathing mask for therapeutic nebulisers, in which around a connecting socket 4 for the therapeutic nebuliser is arranged an exhalation valve consisting of exhalation openings and a flexible valve element. The exhalation openings 7 are formed by exhalation channels 8 and can be closed individually by closure devices, for example stoppers, in order to set a predefined exhalation resistance.

Abstract: A measuring device is provided, having a cylindrical connection piece (1), having a collar (2) which engages around at least one section of the connection piece (1) and is to be fastened at a measuring location, having a restraining means, by which the connection piece (1) is fastened in the collar (2), having an annular seal (3), which is arranged in the collar (2) and bears in a sealing manner against the connection piece (1), and having a thrust ring (4) which is releasably fastened in the collar (2), and, in an end position, puts the seal (3) under pressure in the axial direction, with which device mounting and demounting at the measuring location take place in one operation and with which device, during mounting, the fastening of the connection piece (1) takes place before or at the same time as the restraining of the seal (3), and with which device, during demounting, first of all the seal (3) is released and then the fastening.

Abstract: A plug connector is provided, in particular for the connection of measuring instruments, which is to be connected to a plug having three flat elongated contact pins, a flat elongated protective contact pin and a threaded hole arranged in its center. The plug connector has a low maximum cross-sectional area and a high tightness. The plug connector has a housing (1) partly forming a cone (11), a hollow cylinder (12) which is molded onto the cone (11) on the side facing away from the plug and has an external thread (121), a nut (5) screwed onto the hollow cylinder (12), and a sealing element (4) which completely fills the hollow cylinder (12) and the nut (5). A four-way cable (3) penetrates the nut (5) and the sealing element (4) in the axial direction. A groove (14) is arranged on the side of the housing (1) facing toward the plug to accommodate a seal (6) and a ring (15) is molded on the cone (11) on the side facing toward the plug and encloses the plug coaxially at the end.

Abstract: A transducer head for a medical instrument (e.g., a cardiotocographic instrument for performing extra-uterine ultrasonic supervision of the fetal heart function) having a housing adapted to be fixed, with the aid of a fastening device and abdominal belt, in a specific position relative to and in contact with the abdomen of a patient is characterized in that the fastening device comprises a bow pivotally attached to the housing and adapted to be locked relative to the housing in a position wherein the belt extends across the housing between the housing and the bow.
