  • Publication number: 20250033836
    Abstract: A closure system (10) for a medication container (1), the interior (4) of which is accessible via a mouth region (6) designed in the manner of a bottle mouth, wherein the closure system (10) comprises, in addition to a bounce cap (28) which can be pushed onto the mouth region (6) and is provided with a sealing element (24), a locking ring (60) which, in a position pushed completely onto the bounce cap (28), can be pushed onto the bounce cap (28), can be fixed to the bounce cap (28) in a latchable manner by means of a number of snap ribs (62), is intended to be particularly suitable for automated filling operations by simple means. For this purpose, according to the invention, the or each snap rib (62) is guided in a corresponding guiding groove (82) during a movement of the inner lateral surface (84) of the retaining ring (60) relative to an outer lateral surface (80) of the bounce cap (28) corresponding to the latter.

  • Publication number: 20250017819
    Abstract: A medication container (1) for an active medical ingredient or a medication, the interior (4) of which is accessible via a container opening (6) designed in the manner of a bottle mouth, is intended to provide particularly high-quality and reliable protection against tampering with its contents. For this purpose, according to the invention, a number, preferably three, of circumferentially attached outer beads (12, 16) are arranged on the outside of the container opening, wherein the lowest or proximal outer bead (16) as seen in the direction of the mouth opening (14) is designed as a limiting outer bead (16) of and has a bead width (W) of at least 150% of the bead width (w) of the adjacent outer bead (12).

  • Patent number: 10471247
    Abstract: A catheter coupling has a tubing and two jaws extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubing which form a channel having an orifice to accommodate an end section of a catheter when the jaws abut against each other. The jaws are interconnected at a respective jaw end via a jaw joint having a joint axis extending transversely to the tubing. The other jaw end includes a snap-in locking member and a counter snap-in locking member, respectively, interacting therewith to form a snap-in locking arrangement. In the engagement position, the tubing is deformed by at least one jaw deformation component to securely accommodate the catheter. The coupling has at least one inspection window that allows a stop in the tubing for the end section of the catheter to be visually inspected to prevent an end section of the catheter from being introduced into the tubing if it is too short.

  • Patent number: 9237987
    Abstract: A metering device is used for the metered administration of a flowable preparation together with a flowable carrier medium. A storage container for the preparation has at least one access opening. A metering plunger body can be moved in a sealed manner in the storage container between a starting position and at least one metering position. The metering plunger body is hollow. A metering sleeve has on a bottom side an eccentric metering sleeve opening. An inner plunger body has on the bottom side an eccentrically arranged plunger body opening. In a through relative rotation position of the metering sleeve relative to the inner plunger body a passage is provided between the inside of the storage container and the inside of the inner plunger body. In a closed relative rotational position this passage is closed. This results in a user-friendly and compact metering device.

  • Publication number: 20150217105
    Abstract: A catheter coupling has a tubing and two jaws extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubing which form a channel having an orifice to accommodate an end section of a catheter when the jaws abut against each other. The jaws are interconnected at a respective jaw end via a jaw joint having a joint axis extending transversely to the tubing. The other jaw end is in each case provided with a snap-in locking member and a counter snap-in locking member, respectively, interacting therewith to form a snap-in locking arrangement. In the engagement position, the tubing is deformed by at least one jaw deformation component to securely accommodate the catheter end section. The catheter coupling has at least one inspection window in a base body. The inspection window allows a stop in the tubing for the end section of the catheter to be visually inspected. As a result, a catheter coupling is obtained which prevents an end section of the catheter from being introduced into the tubing if said end section is too short.
