  • Patent number: 10807771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bag for sealingly packaging components, which includes: a flexible body (10) defining an inside space, including a communication opening and a side wall including a plurality of strips folded against one another; and a joining device which can selectively open or close the communication opening, and is shaped so as to be mounted on an enclosure to allow sealed communication between an inner cavity of the enclosure and the inside space of the bag, the bag being characterized in that at least one fold made up of two strips opposite one another is detachably connected to at least one other fold.

  • Patent number: 9545628
    Abstract: The chamber (2) includes a wall (5) having an opening (7) and a connection interface (8), a door (10), joining elements (12), elements for maneuvering the door (10) and actuating elements for control of the maneuvering elements. The container (3) includes a wall (14) having an opening (16), a connection interface (9), a door (18), joining elements (13) and elements for maneuvering the door that are functionally joined to the door, and the system also includes, functionally integrated, marking elements, that rest on the container and that can store data, elements for short-range data reading that are functionally complementary to the marking elements, elements for storing read data, elements for producing an output signal based on read or stored data, and elements for controlling the opening of the first door and thus the second door, that respond to the output signal received from the elements for producing an output signal.

  • Patent number: 9283556
    Abstract: A device for a tight connection between a first housing (1) having a wall (3), an opening (4), a flange (5) and a door (6), and a second housing (2) having a wall (7), an opening (8), a flange (9) and a door (10). The flanges are complementary, and elements are used to displace the door (6). Elements are used to hold the two doors against each other, and the housings communicate between each other via a communication space (13). There is an inner annular critical line on the door (6) and an outer annular critical line of risk of contamination on the flange (9). The device includes elements (25 and/or 26) that are structurally integrated into the door (6) and/or the flange (9) and can form a separation between the communication space and the inner annular critical line and/or the outer annular critical line, when the doors are open.

  • Patent number: 9242753
    Abstract: A sterilizable biopharmaceutical packaging includes an opening for inserting biopharmaceutical contents to be sterilized, the opening being separate from a sterilization gas conveyance channel so that the opening can be closed independently and before closing the sterilization gas conveyance channel. The opening is directly adjacent to an inner space for receiving the biopharmaceutical contents so that the contents to be sterilized are inserted directly into the inner space from outside the packaging. The elements for controlling the distribution of the sterilization gas open/close the sterilization gas conveyance channel independently of the opening or closing of the insertion opening.

  • Patent number: 9168520
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) that is especially designed to be associated with a device for a tight connection to a second housing (2), said first housing comprising a structure including a wall (3) defining a space (1a), an opening (4) defined by a flange (5) that can be hermetically applied to a second flange (9) of the second housing (2), holding means that can keep the first flange and the second flange (9) applied to each other, a door (6) supported by carrying means (11 a), the door leaf (6v) being mobile in such a way as to be closed or open and having an outer face (6a) that can ensure the hermetic application of a second door (10) of the second housing (2), fixing means for holding the leaves (6v, 1 Ov) against each other, displacement manoeuvring means (11b), and means for controlling the displacement manoeuvring means (11b), and, when the leaf (6v) is open, an inlet/outlet space (13a) in/of the inner space (1a) forming part of a communication space (13) between the two housings (1, 2), wh

  • Patent number: 8523436
    Abstract: A flexible transport container (1) includes an inner bag (10) formed by a flat casing closed at one end (12), the other end (13) of which is folded towards the first end. The inner bag is housed inside an outer bag (20) formed by a casing provided with a first access port (25) which extends through the two bags close to the closed end of the inner bag and a second access port (27) which only extends through the wall of the outer bag opposite a portion of the folded end of the inner bag.
