Publication number: 20240091450Abstract: An injector device includes a housing having a slot with a locking portion and a needle unit that has a needle and a slot engagement portion that extends through the slot in the housing to an external side of the housing. The needle unit is movably mounted in the housing such that movement of the needle unit relative to the housing is restricted by the slot. The injector device also includes a cartridge that is mounted in the housing, the cartridge having a reservoir for medicament. Prior to use of the injector device, the reservoir is sealed from the needle. The slot in the housing is arranged such that the needle unit can be rotated to move the slot engagement portion out of the locking portion such that the needle unit can be moved into engagement with the cartridge to place the needle in fluid communication with the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Beate Franke, Matthias Rau, Tim Gläßer

Patent number: 9764508Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hollow bodies from thermoplastic material and to an apparatus for carrying out the method. The method comprises the molding of at least two sheet-like preforms in web form of thermoplastic material into two complementary shells in a multi-part tool, which in a closed position forms a mold impression, and the joining together of the shells to form an essentially closed hollow body, the preforms being brought between the parts of the tool in an opened receiving position of the parts of the tool and the preforms being placed into the part-cavities by applying differential pressure and being at least partially molded in them into shells. The shells are joined together to form an essentially closed hollow body by closing the tool to form a closed mold impression. The method is distinguished by the fact that the preforms are molded in the part-cavities while the parts of the tool are located in the opened receiving position.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co.
