Publication number: 20070150056Abstract: An insertion device for surgical implantation of an intraocular lens in the eye is disclosed. The device comprises a plunger (200) which is displaceable within a sleeve (110) for guided insertion of the lens. The plunger (200) has a hollow portion (212), and a spring (250) is disposed within the hollow portion (212) of the plunger (200). The spring (250) is elastically compressed when the plunger (200) is advanced in a distal direction, thus creating a rearward biasing force for improved control of the insertion process. In an advantageous embodiment, the spring (250) may be pre-biased, and the spring force acts only in a final phase of advancing the plunger (200).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: SDI (Sergica Device International GmbH)Inventor: Rolf Meyer

Patent number: 7217274Abstract: A hand-operated injector for inserting a lens into an eye has a grip body (1) with a lens holder (13) for holding a lens, and a plunger (2) arranged displaceably in the grip body (1) for guided insertion of the lens into the eye. An actuating means (5, 6) for displacing the plunger (2) relative to the grip body (1) is arranged on the plunger (2), which actuating means (5, 6) is rotatable relative to the plunger (2). The injector can thus be rotated through any desired angle, without having to substantially change the position of the hand pressing on the plunger (2), in particular the position of the thumb.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignees: Anton Meyer & Co.

Publication number: 20060215856Abstract: The invention is based on the idea of providing a detection device which is capable of distinguishing whether a microphone or audio signal processing arrangement connected thereto operates on an analog or digital basis. An analog or digital connection is selected in accordance with that determination procedure. Consequently there is provided a detection device which has a sensing device, a determining device and a selecting device. The sensing device senses an external signal fed to the detection device and forwards that signal to the determining device. The determining device determines whether the sensed external signal was transmitted by an analog or digital signal processing apparatus and transmits a corresponding determination signal to the selecting device. The selecting device then selects either an analog or a digital connection, in dependence on the determination signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2004Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventors: Rolf Meyer, Klaus-Michael Polten

Patent number: 7097649Abstract: A device for inserting a lens into an eye has a grip body (1) with a lens holder (13) for holding the lens, and a plunger (2) which can be displaced in the grip body (1) for guided insertion of the lens into the eye. A ball-bearing bush (3) is arranged in the grip body (1), the plunger (2) being mounted so as to be laterally displaceable in this ball-bearing bush (3). This allows the device to be operated using one hand, said device additionally having good slide properties and permitting an at all times guided lateral or rotational movement of the plunger.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2002Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignees: Anton Meyer & Co.

Patent number: 7008082Abstract: The reflector for a light of higher power has a base body made of glass or glass ceramic and a protective jacket provided on the outer surface of the base body. The base body is formed with a receptacle for a light source, especially a gas discharge lamp, and an interior mirror surface for reflecting light. The protective jacket includes a mat or is a mat-shaped body, i.e. a woven or knit textile fabric of natural or synthetic material. Preferably it is a glass-fiber-reinforced mat. In addition to preventing splinters from flying around, the protective jacket advantageously also provides temperature equalization throughout the reflector. It also helps to prevent scattered light. The protective mat or jacket may be attached to the base body with an adhesive, such as a water glass.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2003Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Schott AGInventors: Rolf Meyer, Thomas Kuepper, Reinhard Henze, Thomas Wenzel
