  • Patent number: 11324660
    Abstract: A container, in particular an ampule, of a plastic material has a container part (10) for receiving the contents of a container (14) to be dispensed via a container opening (12). Opening (12) is closed by a head part (18) that can be separated along a separation line (16). The head part (18) is adjoined by a neck part (20), which has a plurality of different functional surfaces on the inner circumference. One functional contact surface (44) is used to seal against a withdrawal body (32), which is provided for withdrawing the contents of a container (14) when the container opening (12) is opened. A lead-in area (50) is provided as a further functional surface on the interior of the neck part (40) and differs geometrically from the functional contact surface (44). The lead-in area (50) seamlessly merges into the functional contact surface (44). The lead-in area (50) and the functional contact surface are located between the other functional surfaces in the neck part (20).

  • Patent number: 6743048
    Abstract: A measuring system is provided including a substantially cylindrical housing and a plurality of spaced apart elastic locking tongues carried on an outer circumference of the housing. The locking tongues selectively engage and lock into a corresponding plurality of cavities defined in an associated support plate when the measuring system is brought into aligned contact with the support plate. A plurality of spaced apart contact pins are provided on the measuring system and extend from a bottom surface of the housing. The contact pins engage into a corresponding set of contact cavities provided on the associated support plate. In addition, a set of centering members are provided on the measuring system extending from the housing for selective insertion into a corresponding set of centering cavities arranged on the support plate.

  • Patent number: 4183204
    Abstract: A hollow generally cylindrical member is provided as a central support means for the clockwork of watches or clocks. The member has an outwardly extending annular flange portion against which may be abutted such clockwork elements as a dial carrier and a mechanism housing in superposed relation. The cylindrical member comprises, at the end thereof opposite the flange, a plurality of resiliently supported latch portions which are formed by providing U-shaped recesses extending axially inwardly from said other end of the bushing, with the result that each latch portion can be flexed radially inwardly since the bushing is preferably formed of a generally elastic material.

  • Patent number: 3943695
    Abstract: This invention relates to electric clocks and chart recorders driven by crystal controlled electric motors. The motor includes two stator plates, a rotor and a drive coil surrounding the legs of the stator plates. The rotor carries a pinion which drives the first gear of a mechanical gear train located between two side plates consisting of synthetic resin material. One of the side plates carries at least one bearing for the rotor and a plurality of projections which fit into holes in the stator plates and serve to position the stator plates in relation to the rotor. Electric pulses are supplied to the drive coil by an electronic frequency divider circuit having a push-pull output stage; a zener diode is connected in parallel with the power supply to the divider circuit and the drive coil to enable the motor to operate satisfactorily over a range of supply voltages.
