  • Patent number: 11938059
    Abstract: An inserter for treating glaucoma can comprise a housing, a needle, a plunger, a slider component, and a drive component. The drive component is disposed within a cavity of the housing and rotatable within the cavity to result in movement along a longitudinal axis of the inserter to the needle and the plunger upon rotation of the drive component. The slider component is coupled to the housing and slidable along an elongate groove of the drive component such that movement of the slider component along the axis rotates the drive component within the housing.

  • Patent number: 4694971
    Abstract: A tamper-proof package having a plurality of interacting parts on a container neck and closure which form a pair of cylindrical facing surfaces. Cooperating sets of grooves and groove-engaging frangible male members, preferably splines, are on the facing surfaces. The container has a notched flange and the closure has corresponding lugs to engage the flange. Some of the lugs are preferably frangibly connected to the closure. Observation of the splines, the lugs, and the manner of opening provide indications of tampering or the absence thereof, even though the cooperating features are shielded between the closure and the container neck.
