Patent number: 8672155Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap for a container filled with medicinal fluid, which container has an aperture piece which is sealed off by a diaphragm which can be punctured. The closure cap has a cap-shaped closure body (1) and a drinking neck (4) with a drinking opening (4a) which is pivotable between a first position, in which the drinking neck bears against the closure cap, and a second position, in which the drinking neck projects from the closure cap. In addition, the closure cap has means (20, 22) for puncturing the diaphragm which seals off the aperture piece of the container, which means (20, 22) interact with the drinking neck in such a way that, as the drinking neck (4) is pivoted, the diaphragm is punctured such that a connection is produced between the opening (4a) of the drinking neck and the container interior.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: Bernd Knierbein, Helmut Walter, Janina Luke, Walter Schulte, Frank Römer, Wolfgang Heukamp

Patent number: 7464839Abstract: One disadvantage during delivery of products such as foams, for instance shaving foam or gel, self-foaming products and other products that are applied with a pressurized system from a conventional, pressurized dispenser container with the aid of known dispenser heads that can be inserted into the delivery valve of the dispenser container is that the pressurized product remaining in the delivery channel continues to be pressed out in small amounts in an uncontrolled manner after utilization despite the fact that the delivery valve is closed. In order to eliminate said disadvantage, the dispenser head (1) is configured with an additional closing device (1?) that automatically opens the delivery hole (3) and automatically closes it after the dispensing process is completed.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2003Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: RPC Wiko GmbHInventor: Wolfgang Heukamp

Publication number: 20060175361Abstract: A container has a body formed with an opening and adapted to hold a fluent material that can exit the body through the opening. A closure fittable with the opening is displaceable on the body between a closed position blocking flow out of the body through the opening and an open position permitting flow out of the body through the opening. Respective interengageable formations on the closure and on the body include one formation of a shape-memory material and deforming on temperature change past a predetermined transition temperature from a first deformed shape to a second memory shape. This one formation blocks movement of the closure on the body between one of the positions and the other position when in one of the shapes and permits movement of the closure on the body between the other of the positions and the one position when in the other of the shapes.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventor: Wolfgang Heukamp

Patent number: 7028865Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing metered amounts of liquid or paste-like products has a cylindrical reservoir having an open bottom and an upper end with an intake valve. A plunger is arranged axially movably in the cylindrical reservoir and closes off the open bottom of the cylindrical reservoir. A dispensing head is arranged on the upper end of the reservoir. The dispensing head has a bell-shaped dispensing pump having elastic sidewalls and a pump head with a through opening having an outlet valve. The dispensing pump together with the intake valve and the outlet valve delimits a closed pump chamber. The outlet valve is manufactured as a monolithic part of the pump neck such that with a simple working step the entire through opening of the pump neck is closable by a valve flap of the outlet valve.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: RPC Wiko GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6968981Abstract: A dispenser for distributing measured quantities of fluid to pasty product comprising a storage container with axially displaceable guide pistons and a dispenser head with a dispenser pump. A pump chamber is restricted by check valves at the entry and exit. A discharge channel is positioned downstream of the dispenser pump with an application opening that can be sealed by a sealing element. The dispenser head is designed with an application cap with a planar application surface closing the dispenser head in an axial direction and with an application opening centrally arranged in the application surface. The sealing element is designed in such a way, and arranged within the application surface, that the sealing element completely overlaps the application opening and is flush with the planar application surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2003Date of Patent: November 29, 2005Assignee: RPC Wiko GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20050139620Abstract: Container closures, for dispensing liquid to pasty products from flexible storage containers such as bottle or tubes, are known, which open independently for the discharge of the products on squeezing the storage container and then independently reseal as a result of the restoring force of the storage container. According to the invention, a complete ventilation of the storage container after finishing the discharge process and closing the container closure may be achieved whereby the container closure (1) is made from a housing (5) with an axially displaceable elastic annular disc (2) and a sealing stop (3) centrally arranged beneath the above, whereby stop ridges (6) are arranged in the housing (5) to limit the downward axial movement of the annular disc (2) and the upward axial movement of the sealing stop (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2003Publication date: June 30, 2005Applicant: RPC Wiko GmbH & Co.
