  • Patent number: 11648550
    Abstract: In order for the handling of a pipette to be improved, the pipettes (1) according to the invention and a method according to the invention for setting a volume of a pipette to be pipetted are proposed. In the case of the pipette (1) it is provided that the activation element (7) for activating the ejection mechanism (6) for ejecting a pipette tip forms a conduit (9) for the pipetting button (3). On account thereof, an activation face (10) of the activation element (7) is enlarged in such a manner that the handling of the ejection mechanism (6) of the pipette (1) is in particular simplified and is particularly comfortable. It is furthermore also proposed that the activation element (7) is coupled to the volume adjustment mechanism (11) of the pipette, and the adjustment of the volume to be pipetted by the pipette (1) is performed with the aid of a movement of the activation element (7)(FIG. 4).

  • Patent number: 11318457
    Abstract: In order for it to be possible for the user of a manual metering apparatus (1) to be provided with different options for adjusting a manual metering apparatus (1), in particular a pipette, the manual metering apparatus (1) according to the invention is proposed, in the case of which the operating element (5) for operating the volume adjusting mechanism (3) of the manual metering apparatus (1) is constructed in two pieces and comprises a display adjusting element (7) which is connected to the volume display (4) of the manual metering apparatus (1), and the volume adjusting element (8) which is connected to the volume adjusting mechanism (3) of the manual metering apparatus (1). The display adjusting element (7) and the volume adjusting element (8) are connected to one another via the releasable coupling (9), with the result that a volume adjustment leads to a corresponding adjustment of the volume display and vice versa, as long as the coupling (9) is closed.

  • Patent number: 11207673
    Abstract: In order to facilitate disassembly of the fluid dispensing unit (4), the latter has the covering cap (17) with which at least one sealing means (18) located in the head part (12) of the fluid dispensing unit (4) can be fixed in its use position. In order to release the covering cap (17) from the head part (12), said covering cap is rotatable relative to the head part (12). A releasable snap connection (19) is provided between the covering cap (17) and the head part (12), said snap connection being formed by at least one latching projection (20) and/or at least one latching depression (21), wherein at least one oblique surface (22) is formed on the latching projection (20) and/or on the latching depression (21), said surface being oriented in such a manner that the snap connection (19) can be released by rotation of the covering cap (17) relative to the head part (12) (FIG. 3).
