Abstract: A locking device has a band provided with a locking element on its one end, a housing, a rocker turnably movable relative to the housing and having an edge which in a closed position of the device applies pressure to the band and stops the band from movement, the locking element provided on the end of the band being engageable with the housing, a first unit for turning the rocker and releasing the pressure on the band so that the band is released and can be moved but the locking element can not disengage from the housing, and a second separate unit which, upon release of the pressure on the band and application of an action to the second unit by a user, release the locking element from the housing in a next step so as to disengage the element from the housing and to open the locking device.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a bandage material has a container for accommodating a supply of bandage material, a mechanism for advancing the bandage material from the container so as to expose a desired portion of the bandage material outside of the container, a mechanism for cutting the exposed piece of the bandage material, and including a cutting element movable between an initial position before cutting the piece of the bandage material and a final position after the piece of the bandage material has been cut off during which movement from the initial position to the final position the piece of the bandage material is being cut, and a structure for preventing advancement of the bandage material by the advancing mechanism when the cutting element is in the final position.

Abstract: A holding device for holding containers has a housing, an insert movable relative to the housing between a proximal position in which the container can be clamped between the insert and the housing and a distal position in which the insert is moved away from the housing so that the container can be removed from the device and a new container can be placed between the insert and the housing, and elements for engaging the container when it is located between the insert and the housing so as to reliably hold it in the device. The engaging elements include at least one engaging projection which is elastically urged to a position in which it is hidden in one of the insert and the housing when there is no container between the insert and the housing and which is displaced outwardly of the at least one of the insert and the housing to an extended position when the container is inserted between the insert and the housing and applies a pressure to the engaging elements.

Abstract: A constricting device for body parts, has a housing, a clamping rocker supported in the housing rotatable between a clamping position in which one end of the clamping rocker clamps a band extending through the housing against a housing wall and an opposite releasing position in which it releases the band, so that the clamping rocker in a constriccting position of the band which is under tension is turned to the clamping position while a manual pressure applied to the clamping rocker turns the latter to the releasing position. A releasable arresting closure is provided between another end of the clamping rocker and an end of the band at the side of the housing, and a mechanical transmission member which during application of an actuating pressure to the clamping rocker first turns the clamping rocker to the releasing position and then after a release of the band opens the arresting closure.

Abstract: A holding device for holding containers with tissues and the like comprises a housing, an insert movable relative to the housing between a proximal position in which the container can be clamped between the insert and the housing and a distal position in which the insert is moved away from the housing so that the container can be removed from the device and a new container can be placed between the insert and the housing, and elements for elastically urging the insert toward the housing to the proximal position, so that the insert can be moved away of the housing toward the distal position by overcoming a resistance of the elastic elements. The elastic elements include at least one elastic band elastically connecting the insert with the housing.

Abstract: A closure for a band and the like comprises a closure housing adapted for passing a band therethrough, a housing cap adapted to be connected to an end of the band, and elements for releasably connecting the closure housing with the housing cap. The connecting elements include a pin projecting from the closure housing and having a front end with two oppositely inclined surfaces and two transverse grooves, and two sliders accomodated in the housing cap slidingly over one another and each having a projection and a shaped formation facing toward one another and formed so that in a locked condition the projections of the sliders of the housing cap engage in the grooves of the pin of the closure housing while the shaped formations of the sliders of the housing cap abut against the inclined surfaces of the pin of the closure housing.
