  • Publication number: 20220126079
    Abstract: An applicator comprising a handle piece and a pressing body for a microneedle patch, which pressing body is connected to the handle piece. A unit comprising an applicator of this type and comprising a microneedle patch having a multiplicity of microneedles. The pressing body is mounted for movement relative to the handle piece in a sliding joint or in a pivot joint at least between an idle position and a usage position by means of external operating forces and an internal restoring device. The pressing body has a pressing surface which is spaced apart from the pivot joint or sliding joint. In the idle position, the pressing body is not loaded by external operating forces, and the restoring device has the lowest internal energy. The pressing body can be moved relative to the handle piece toward the usage position by means of external operating forces acting on the pressing surface.

  • Patent number: 8944247
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging unit (1), which comprises at least one agent-containing product (80), at least one main wrapping (30), and one secondary wrapping (10), wherein at least one agent-containing product (80) is stored sealed in each closed main wrapping (30), and wherein the main wrappings (30) are arranged in piles in the secondary wrapping (10) and are removably attached, at least in some regions, by means of perforation lines (38). Each main wrapping (30) of this is a sealed pouch with a gripping piece (70). The individual sealed pouch has a perforation seam (55) that bounds a tear-off region (47). The gripping piece (70) is joined to the tear-off region (47), opened by pulling a gripping piece (70), releases the agent-containing product (80). A further pulling of the gripping piece (70) separates the perforation line (38).

  • Patent number: 8291798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing small, thin sheets from an active-ingredient film (2), in which the latter is produced by casting the film material onto a substrate material or by coating a substrate material, storing it with or without substrate material on a reel, pulling it off the reel and cutting it. It achieves the object of designing a method of this type in such a way that with this method small sheets can be produced as exactly as possible in predetermined sizes. To do this, the active-ingredient film (2) is pulled off automatically, is separated from a substrate material which, if present, and in tensioned form, is fed to a cutting station and is cut, in the feed direction, into long, narrow strips (7) of predeterminable width, and the long strips (7) are brought together in the feed direction and together are fed by a further feed device (10) to a transverse cutter (11), which cuts through the combined long strips (7) at predetermined intervals.

  • Patent number: 7195688
    Abstract: A process and device for manufacturing a primary unit pack of a wafer. A laminate comprising a carrier sheet and an active substance film is cross-cut at a predetermined length, detached from the carrier sheet, guided between two packaging material webs and, conveyed to a sealing station along with the packaging material webs. The packaging material webs are sealed to form a bag that is separated from the webs. The process includes detaching the carrier sheet from the active substance film, pulling the carrier sheet forward over the predetermined length of the wafer, simultaneously guiding the active substance film, which has been detached from the carrier sheet, without mechanical stress, the front end being between the packaging material webs which are in a resting condition, and is received and fixed by packaging material webs and transversely cut to form a wafer.
