A valve device () for a medical system comprises a valve housing (), an inlet port () arranged on the valve housing (), an outlet port () arranged on the valve housing (), a flow duct () extending through the valve housing () connecting the inlet port () and the outlet port () to allow for a fluid flow (P) through the valve housing between the inlet port () and the outlet port (), and a closure element () arranged on the valve housing () for selectively opening and closing the flow duct (). Herein, the closure element () is displaceable along a displacement direction (A) relative to the valve housing () between a closed position in which the flow duct () is closed for preventing the fluid flow (P) from the inlet port () to the outlet port () and an opened position in which the flow duct () is opened for allowing the fluid flow (P) from the inlet port () to the outlet port (), wherein the closure element () is elastically pretensioned towards the closed position. In this way the valve device is provided which allows for an optimized integration into a medical device such as an infusion line or an infusion pump.

Valve device with elastically pretensioned closure element for a medical system

Described is a needle assembly magazine comprising of a housing adapted to contain a plurality of needle assemblies and a slider movably disposed within the housing. The housing has a first opening providing access to an unused needle assembly and a second opening for receiving into the housing a used needle assembly. The slider separates the housing into a first region for unused needle assemblies and a second region for used needle assemblies. Movement of the slider advances the unused needle assemblies within the housing toward the first opening.

Described is a needle hub comprising a proximal end adapted to engage a medicament delivery device, a distal end having an opening, a shoulder disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, and a needle assembly engagement mechanism (F) coupled to the shoulder and adapted to releasably engage a needle assembly. The needle assembly engagement mechanism (F) includes two or more resilient arms adapted to releasably engage a retainer element on the needle assembly.

Needle hub and disposal device for single-use needle assemblies

Described is a needle assembly reuse prevention mechanism comprising a barrier movable between a retracted position and an extended position, a spring coupled to the barrier, a pin formed on the barrier, and a slot receiving the pin. When in the extended position, the barrier substantially covers an opening of a needle assembly storage compartment. The spring forces the barrier in a first direction. The slot has at least one abutment face for abutting the pin and preventing movement of the barrier in the first direction.

Various embodiments of piston rod assemblies, drug delivery devices making use of such piston rod assemblies, and methods for assembling such piston rod assemblies and drug delivery devices are provided. In one embodiment, a piston rod assembly for a drug delivery device is provided, wherein the piston rod assembly is configured to engage a piston of a medicament cartridge. The piston rod assembly comprises (i) a piston rod, (ii) at least one adjusting member displaceably engaged with a distal end section of the piston rod, wherein the at least one adjusting member is displaceable along a long axis of the piston rod, and (iii) at least one interlock member configured to mutually lock the at least one adjusting member and the piston rod in an arbitrary relative axial position.

The present invention relates to a drive mechanism for a drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product, comprising: a holder for a product-containing cartridge, the cartridge having a piston slidably arranged therein in an axial direction, a piston rod to be operably engaged with the cartridge's piston for dispensing of a dose of the medicinal product, an adjusting assembly adapted to eliminate axial clearance between the piston and the piston rod, wherein the adjusting assembly comprises at least one radially extending spike element for mutually locking in position the piston and the piston rod irrespective of the relative distance between piston and piston rod.

Drive mechanism for drug delivery devices

The present invention relates to a drug delivery device for dispensing of a predefined dose of a medicinal product, comprising: a housing, a cartridge holder adapted to receive a cartridge containing the medicinal product to be dispensed, the cartridge holder being connectable to the housing, a drive mechanism to be operably engaged with the cartridge for setting and/or dispensing of a predefined dose of the medicinal product, wherein the drive mechanism is axially slidingly supported in the housing for compensating axial clearance between the drive mechanism and the cartridge and wherein the drive mechanism is axially fixable relative to the housing.

Disclosed is a device for tensioning and sealing tightening straps of plastics for package tightenings, in which the superposed strap ends are received in a strap channel which is essentially open at a longitudinal outer side and the two faces. The strap channel has a strap edge guide at its longitudinal inner side for the inner edges of the tightening strap. A tensioning device is arranged in the front region of the device, and a sealing device is arranged in the rear region. So as to compensate for the forces acting outwardly on the upper strap end due to the irregular deformations of the upper strap end during the tensioning process by the tensioning roller of the tensioning device which is mounted in a floating manner, the strap edge guide is arranged obliquely to the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller and projects further into the strap channel in the vicinity of the strap sealing device than in the region of the tensioning device.

A drying and pressing apparatus for items of clothing has a flexible pressing dummy which can be subjected to the action, from the inside, of an air stream generated by a fan. The apparatus has a top framework and a bottom framework. The pressing dummy has one section connected to the top framework and one section connected to the bottom framework, and it is possible for the top framework to be retracted into a retracted position in the bottom framework and extended out of the bottom framework into an extended position. A locking device is provided for locking the top framework in relation to the bottom framework. By use of an unlocking input device for unlocking the locking device, it is possible, upon actuation of the input device, to unlock the locking device for a predetermined unlocking duration. This ensures a straightforward and nevertheless reliable operating sequence of the apparatus.

The invention relates to a tensioning device for tightening strapping bands. When a tensioning motor runs forwards in the tensioning direction, a tensioning wheel is automatically pivoted against an abutment in the opposite direction. Once the tensioning process is complete, said tensioning wheel is pivoted back out of the tensioning position and into the starting position by running the tensioning motor backwards.
