  • Patent number: 8124010
    Abstract: A reusable container for the sterile transfer of pharmaceutical recipients, in particular of syringe bodies. The container comprises an outer case and a sterilizable interior, wherein the interior is microbially isolated from the environment of the container. The interior has at least one holder for accommodating at least one nest for storing a plurality of pharmaceutical recipients. The nest can be removably accommodated in the holder. The container further has at least one container door for removing or introducing the nest into the interior and at least one lock for coupling the container to a sterile space. The lock is configured in such a way that, after coupling to the sterile space, it is possible to open the container door without substantially suspending sterility.

  • Patent number: 7217308
    Abstract: This invention relates to a closing device for a housing of an air filter that can be closed with a housing cover. The assembly process is to be simplified and accelerated, while the number of parts required is to be reduced at the same time. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the housing cover and the housing can be connected to one another by means of a locking frame which surrounds the housing cover and the housing in the region of the housing edge, said locking frame being positionable in closed position by means of translatory motion, in which position it presses the housing cover onto the housing edge.

  • Patent number: 6540268
    Abstract: A closure device for a container, which possesses a locking element for mutually locking of two container parts when the container is closed. The locking element has first and second locking instrumentalities, which are arranged on the different container parts. By way of an actuating member, which is able to be switched over between a closed position and an open position a first engagement member may be shifted between a locking position and a released position. The open position of the actuating member corresponding to the locking position may be secured by an obstructing member in order to prevent unauthorized unlocking of the container. An opening mechanism renders possible an overriding of the obstructing action and a switching over of the actuating member into the open position.

  • Patent number: 6291769
    Abstract: A device plate for a divided cable raceway for preventing electrical interference between two sides of a raceway divided by the dividing panel. The device plate having a first electrical device receiving opening or a mounting fixture, connection or socket for an electric device toward one longitudinal side region and one lateral side region of the plate and having a second electrical device mounting fixture toward the opposite longitudinal side region and lateral side region of the device plate, and the device plate being blank at the opposite lateral side of the raceway at each longitudinal position along the raceway, thereby providing separation between the electrical device receiving openings, or mounting fixtures, or connections or sockets on the device plate and minimizing electrical interference at devices secured on the device plate and between cables and wires in the divided passageways in the raceway.
