Patent number: 7963955Abstract: Foil bags are used as a primary packaging for liquids, the bags permitting the liquid to be taken therefrom without the application of a considerable amount of force. A container is provided for a medicinal liquid, the container being gas-tight and liquid-tight so that it is storable over many months. The container includes a collapsible foil bag on which a flange, which is stable in respect of shape, is disposed. The flange is designed for fitting onto a discharge connection member. The container can be disposed in a casing which is stable in respect of shape. The medicinal liquid does not come into contact with air and is protected from the effect of light. The medicinal liquid may be dispensed from the foil bag in many partial quantities over a prolonged period of time, with a respective partial amount thereof being converted into an aerosol by means of an atomizer.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Bernhard Freund, Dieter Hochrainer, Heinrich Kladders, Bernd Zierenberg, Joachim Eicher, Johannes Geser, Martin Essing, Holger Reinecke

Patent number: 7090093Abstract: For medical fluids, two-part containers are used which consist of an inner container and an outer container which is impenetrable to diffusion. The inner container collapses when the fluid is removed. For the purposes of pressure compensation between the gaseous space, disposed between the inner- and outer containers, and the surroundings of the two-part container, a pressure compensation device is required by means of which at the same time the loss of fluid through diffusion from the collapsible inner container is kept as little as possible. To that end, at least one channel is used which communicates the gas-filled intermediate space with the surroundings of the two-part container. The time constant for compensation of a pressure differential of a few millibars is within the region of quite a few hours. It is obtained by selecting the length of the channel and channel cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Dieter Hochrainer, Bernd Zierenberg, Heinrich Kladders, Martin Essing, Gilbert Wuttke, Matthias Hausmann, Joachim Eicher

Patent number: 6783022Abstract: A ventilation device for a fuel tank includes an antisurge element designed as a porous component manufactured from sintered plastic. The antisurge element prevents fuel which is sloshing around in the fuel tank from penetrating into an activated carbon filter of the ventilation device. The antisurge element is a fixed component that does not require any movable parts and is produced particularly cost-effectively.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2001Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Mannesmann VDO AGInventor: Martin Essing
