  • Publication number: 20240199400
    Abstract: A closure processing equipment for closing openings of a number of containers includes a number of stopper members, a container holder and a set of compensation structures. Each of the stopper members is made of an elastic material, has a plug portion configured to fit into an opening of one of the number of containers and has a cover portion configured to abut a boundary surface adjacent to the opening of the one of the number of containers. The container holder has a number of container seats each configured to receive one of the number of containers in a predefined position. Each compensation structure of the set of compensation structures is configured to compensate a container manufacturing dimension tolerance. The set of compensation structures includes diverse compensation structures to compensate different container manufacturing dimension tolerances.

  • Publication number: 20230010593
    Abstract: A syringe (1) comprises a barrel (2), a stopper (3) and a plunger (4). The barrel (2) has a hollow interior, an orifice (21) and an opening (22) opposite to the orifice (21). The stopper (3) is arranged in the hollow interior of the barrel (2) thereby defining a sealed chamber (5) in the interior of the barrel (2). The stopper (3) is displaceable in the interior of the barrel (2) thereby varying a volume of the chamber (5). The plunger (4) extends through the opening (22) of the barrel (2) into the hollow interior of the barrel (2). The plunger (4) has a distal end (41) outside of the barrel (2) and a proximal end (42) inside the hollow interior of the barrel (2). The stopper (3) has a distal face (31) directed towards the plunger (4), a proximal face (32) directed towards the chamber (5) and an internal cavity (33) opening at the distal face (31).

  • Patent number: 11400224
    Abstract: A safety arrangement for being used in a medicament delivery device, comprising a container holder with a body section and a flange seat and a shell. The container holder is arranged to receive a container with a longitudinal body at one end passing over into a distal flange and at an opposite end passing over into a proximal orifice via a shoulder, such that the distal flanges of the container contacts the flange seat of the container holder. Moreover, the container holder is arranged in the shell such that the container holder is movable in a proximal direction in relation to the shell. A blocking element is arranged between the shell and the container holder. A blocking initiating structure is arranged to reposition the blocking element when the container holder is moved in the proximal direction in relation to the shell from a first position to a second position.

  • Publication number: 20210052816
    Abstract: A prefilled syringe is disclosed that includes a barrel, a stopper displaceable within and defining a sealed chamber in an interior of the barrel, a liquid filled in the chamber of the barrel, and a plunger extending within the barrel. The stopper expels the liquid out of the barrel via an orifice when being forwarded towards the orifice by the plunger such that a volume of the chamber is reduced. The plunger includes a proximal portion, a distal portion and a rod portion extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The plunger is shaped to form a pathway between an opening of the barrel and a segment where the proximal portion of the plunger is neighboring the stopper such that a sterilizing agent can be provided through the opening of the barrel to the segment where the proximal portion of the plunger is neighboring the stopper.

  • Publication number: 20200086065
    Abstract: A spacer for a syringe for manual injection includes a mount section, a flange section and a stopper section. The mount section is adapted to be coupled to a distal end of a syringe body of the syringe. The flange section includes a contact face adapted to contact a skin surface of a patient. The stopper section has a bore extending between the mount section and the flange section wherein the stopper section is adapted to define an injection depth of a needle when being attached to the distal end of the syringe body of the syringe and extending through the bore of the stopper section.
