  • Patent number: 9958303
    Abstract: A measuring device 1 for recording a peak level of a liquid flow includes an inlet 2 which opens into an inlet chamber 3 for receiving the liquid flow and a recording chamber 4 in open liquid communication with the inlet chamber 3 for allowing the liquid flow to accumulate up to a level therein. The recording chamber 4 is separated from the inlet 2 for direct liquid communication. At least one outflow opening 9 is provided to allow at least partial escape of the liquid flow, and indicator elements are provided to leave an indication of a level at least approximately at an indication level. A peak level in a liquid flow can thus be recorded very reliably with the measuring device 1.

  • Patent number: 9233232
    Abstract: A liquid catheter, in particular a urinary catheter, includes a catheter shaft part (21) with a longitudinal liquid channel extending between a proximal and distal side thereof, and an anchoring body (22). The catheter body is intended to be received fully internally in a body cavity, such as in particular the urine bladder (50), and to drain the bladder from inside via the urethra (51). The catheter body has a length to span a distance between the bladder and a closure point (35) of the sphincter urethra. An operating member (24,25) is connected durably to the catheter body to enable a user to carry the catheter body transluminally out of the bladder past the closure point. An insertion device for the catheter includes an insertion sleeve which can be carried transluminally as far as the urine bladder and from which the catheter body can be carried into the bladder.

  • Patent number: 8087571
    Abstract: A pouring package for a fluid comprises a container (10) substantially impermeable to the fluid and having a pouring opening (11). The pouring opening is hermetically sealed by means of a breakable seal (30) in at least unopened state of the container. The container is provided with a pouring member (20) at the position of the pouring opening. Situated between a wall of the pouring member and the seal is a breaking member (21) which is awe and adapted to act on and break the seal when an external pressure is exerted on the wall.

  • Publication number: 20110042410
    Abstract: A pouring package for a liquid comprises an at least substantially liquid-tight container (10) with an outflow opening (15) in a wall surface (11) thereof. At the position of the opening (15) a pouring member (30) is arranged with an outlet (33) on a distal outer end thereof at which a liquid can exit the product space. In a closed position the pouring member extends at least substantially flat against the wall surface. At least a distal outer end of the pouring member can be erected into a ready-to-use position.

  • Publication number: 20100224677
    Abstract: A packaging comprises a reclosable assembly of a bottom element (10) and a window element (20), which together enclose a product space for receiving at least one product therein, in particular a food product. The bottom element comprises a bottom (11), from either side of which at least parts of opposite first side walls (12) extend which are connected in at least substantially freely pivotable manner to the bottom. The window element comprises an at least substantially transparent top sheet (21), from which opposite further side walls (22) extend on both sides which support on the bottom. The at least parts of the first side walls (21) mutually enclose the window element and maintain a mutual distance over which the set of further side walls (22) is at least largely transparent.

  • Publication number: 20100012711
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pouring package, and the pouring package. The pouring package comprises a container (1) formed from a packaging material with an inner space bounded by walls (12,13,14,15) for receiving a fluid therein. The walls comprise a base (11), two partially triangular side walls (12A,12B) rising therefrom and a front and rear wall (13,14) which are connected to the base, extend between the side walls and are mutually connected between the top corners (17) of said triangular side walls (12A, 12B) in a closing strip (15C). The front and/or rear wall is provided with a weakening line (18 A, 18B), such that the closing strip (15C) can be pressed in toward the base in order to deform the front and/or rear wall along the weakening line for of forming an upper wall (15A,15B) extending between the top corners.

  • Publication number: 20090202684
    Abstract: A portion package, in particular for a semi-fluid product such as a jelly, gel or paste, comprises a tub-like container (1) with a base (2) from which a wall extends all round which has an at least almost flat upper edge (4). The wall (3) can be compressed over at least a part of the height thereof, and with the base (2) bounds a product space (6) closed with a foil. The upper edge (4) comprises at least a first and a second outward directed lateral extension (11,12) on either side of the product space (6) so as to provide at least two opposite gripping surfaces. In a semi-fluid product a mixture of one or more active constituents in a predetermined mutual ratio and a predetermined dosage are processed at least substantially homogeneously into a jelly, gel or paste to form an at least practically form-retaining body (20).
