  • Patent number: 11639716
    Abstract: A peristaltic pump for conveying a fluid guided in a hose includes a hose bed having a counter bearing to accommodate the hose, a support disk rotatable relative to counter bearing, a plurality of squeeze rolls positioned in the peripheral direction on the support disk and a plurality of guide rollers positioned in the peripheral direction on the support disk with a guide groove extending in the peripheral direction on its outer circumference, which forms a first guide plane facing the support disk. In order to be able to provide reliable loading and unloading of different hoses with different properties into the hose bed or from the hose bed, each guide roller has a guide cylinder above the guide groove to guide the hose during loading into the hose bed and/or during unloading from the hose bed.

  • Patent number: 9874207
    Abstract: A hose pump for the conveyance of a fluid conducted in a hose, with several squeezing elements and with a hose bed, which has a hose inlet, a hose outlet, a guide surface, and a counter support, in which the hose is placed lying on the guide surface and is pressed by the squeezing elements against the counter support for the conveyance of the fluid found in the hose when the hose pump is operated in a conveyance direction. The hose pump has a guiding-out device for the automatic guiding of the hose out of the hose bed, and the guiding out of the hose takes place by means of the guiding-out device during the operation of the hose pump opposite its conveyance direction. For the development of an as low-cost as possible but nevertheless reliable guiding-out device, an elevation, located on the hose outlet of the hose bed, is provided, which protrudes over the guide surface and via which the hose is conducted.

  • Publication number: 20170292510
    Abstract: A hose pump includes a hose bed having a counter support, a carrier disk rotatable relative to the counter support, and a number of pinch rollers and guide rollers arranged on the carrier disk. A guide roller is arranged between two consecutive pinch rollers, and the pinch rollers press a hose inserted into hose bed against the counter support, while pinching the hose when the carrier disk is rotating in the conveying direction to transport the fluid in the hose. To ensure reliable threading of a hose section of a pump hose, when the hose section is somewhat too short and to prevent unthreading of the inserted hose section during operation of the hose pump, the angular distance between a guide roller and the pinch roller preceding the guide roller in the conveying direction is greater than the angular distance between this guide roller and the pinch roller following the guide roller in the conveying direction.

  • Patent number: 9566382
    Abstract: A bottle support for an injection or infusion device with a main body, which has at least one bottle holder for the holding of a neck of a supply bottle. In order to bring about as simple and quick an equipping as possible of the injection device with supply bottles with different sizes and to hold the supply bottles securely in the bottle support, provision is made so that a shaft is formed in the main body, in which a tension slide, pretensioned with a spring, is supported so it can be displaced linearly. In a first position, the tension slide locks the neck of the supply bottle, and in a second position, the neck of the supply bottle is released.
