  • IMPLANT SYRINGE
    Publication number: 20220062608
    Abstract: An implant syringe includes a cannula, a storage element for receiving a solid material implant, and an outer sleeve with a radially projecting front gripping section which are axially movable together. An inner sleeve affords axial slits through which radial webs on the outer sleeve engage, and also includes a rod-shaped piston. The rod-shaped piston may be advanced through the storage element into the cannula such that a gap remains between the tip of the cannula and the head end of the piston. The cannula is rigidly connected to the storage element to form a cannula unit, that the webs on the outer sleeve are attached to an annular receiving member within the inner sleeve and that the cannula unit is insertable into the receiving member and is lockable therein, where a solid material implant can be inserted into the storage element.

  • Card index
    Patent number: 4254567
    Abstract: A card index comprises a housing containing a drawer which holds a stack of punched cards. All the cards have punched holes in which a row of dogs in the bottom of the drawer engage and the cards also have punched selection holes in which selection stop cams can engage. Each card has selection holes in register with all of the stop cams except one. To select a card, a button corresponding to the card is pressed and this rocks a key lever to move the corresponding stop cam downwards. The cam passes through the selection holes in all the cards until it reaches the selected card which has no hole in register with that cam. Accordingly, the selected card and the cards, if any, below are pressed downwards and are held on the dogs. The drawer is released by depression of the button and is opened by a spring. As it opens, the drawer moves the cards which are pressed down on the dogs out of the housing with the selected card on top, but the cards above the selected card are retained in the housing by the stop cam.
