Mixing and discharge device with threaded spindle.

Eine Misch- und Austragsvorrichtung (1) weist einen spritzenartigen Behälter (10) auf, in dem ein Kolben verschiebbar ist. Eine Auspressspindel (30) mit Aussengewinde (31) wirkt durch einen Gewindeeingriff mit einem Gegenstück (40) zusammen. Das Gegenstück umfasst eines oder mehrere Gewindesegmente, die nach aussen auslenkbar sind, um den Gewindeeingriff zu lösen. Ein Sicherungselement (50) ist in distaler Richtung auf das Gegenstück (40) aufschiebbar, um ein Lösen des Gewindeeingriffs zu verhindern. Eine Mischstange (61) durchsetzt den Kolben (20). Ein Betätigungselement (70) ist durch einen lösbaren Form- oder Kraftschluss mit dem proximalen Ende der Mischstange verbunden. Ein Verriegelungselement (80) ist zwischen einer Verriegelungsstellung und einer Freigabestellung bewegbar. In der Verriegelungsstellung verhindert das Verriegelungselement ein Lösen des Form- oder Kraftschlusses. Isolationsrippen (13) minimieren den Wärmeeintrag infolge Berührung ins Innere des Behälters. A mixing and discharging device (1) has a syringe-like container (10) in which a piston is displaceable. An extrusion screw (30) with external thread (31) cooperates by a threaded engagement with a counterpart (40). The counterpart comprises one or more thread segments which are deflectable outwardly to release the threaded engagement. A securing element (50) can be pushed distally onto the counterpart (40) in order to prevent disengagement of the threaded engagement. A mixing rod (61) passes through the piston (20). An actuator (70) is connected by a releasable positive or positive connection with the proximal end of the mixing rod. A locking element (80) is movable between a locking position and a release position. In the locking position, the locking element prevents a release of the positive or frictional connection. Insulation ribs (13) minimize the heat input due to contact inside the container.

Programmable breast pump

Metering dispenser

The invention relates to a dispenser for discharging at least one component. Said dispenser comprises a base body (100) and an advancing element (300) that can be slid. The advancing element (300) acts upon a container having the component so that the component is discharged from the container by means of an advancement of the advancing element (300). The advancing element (300) comprises teeth (321) in the advancing direction. An actuating lever (400) can be swiveled relative to the base body (100) between an initial position and an activated position. The actuating lever comprises one or more teeth (421), which are engaged with the teeth (321) of the advancing element when the advancing element (300) is advanced. In order to enable a simple resetting motion of the actuating lever (400) from the activated position back to the initial position, the actuating lever (400) can be moved as a whole to a decoupled position relative to the base body (100), in which decoupled position the teeth (421) of the actuating lever (400) disengage from the teeth (321) of the advancing element (300). A very simple design of the dispenser having few individual parts is thereby enabled.

Dispensing assembly comprising a cartridge with bag

The dispensing assembly (1) comprises a double cartridge (2) having two storage containers (3, 4) with bags (8, 9) placed therein, a mixer (5) that is connectable to the cartridge, and an opening means (13, 14) acting upon the bag. The opening means (13, 14) is arranged on the mixer housing (6) and rotatable with respect to the cartridge and has a cutting member (13, 22) comprising two knife-edges (13) that acts essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bags within the cartridge (2, 21). Thanks to the knife-edges that are rotatable and arranged laterally with respect to the bags, such a cutting member allows a clean and predetermined opening of the bags and a dispensing operation with minimum pressure losses and lost volumes.

Programmable breastpump

A breastpump which can be programmed to generate, among other things, a plurality of differing milk expression (extraction) sequences, or curves is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a motorized pump (e.g., compressed air, battery and/or house current) is provided with a microprocessor-based controller. Cards, with microprocessor "chips", containing different suction curves adapted for varying conditions and objectives are included for programming the controller in this embodiment. The breastpump also comprises a controller, such as a rotary knob, which is used to simultaneously adjust the suction level as well as rate within a sequence, is disclosed. The suction "force" and "speed" are tied together in an inverse relationship. As the suction force (vacuum) is increased, for example, the rate (cycle) is decreased; as the vacuum is decreased, the cycle increases. The programs are directed to one or ore novel suction sequences which are considered to produce advantageous particularized results. Such sequences include: a suction method (e.g., program or curve) for a sore nipple condition; a suction method for increased milk production; an improved suction method in general; and a method for nipple stimulation. The breastpump also comprises a prophylactic device for protecting the diaphragm of a pump, such as a diaphragm pump for a breastpump, from fluid (air/milk). A removably mounted flexible cover is located between the shell of the pump and the movable diaphragm membrane within the shell which isolates the membrane from fluid. The cover is removable for at least one of cleaning and disposal. The flexible membrane has a circumferential rim upon which the cover is received over the rim. The shell has an internal opening defined therein sized to encompass the rim with the cover mounted on the rim in a substantially airtight fit. The cover thereby forms a gasket between the rim and shell.

Discharge device for two syringes

A discharge device (1) for discharging components along a direction of advance (L) has a syringe holder (2) and an advancing unit (3). The syringe holder serves to receive two syringes in parallel, each of them having a syringe plunger. The advancing unit has a pressure plate (32) for advancing the syringe plunger along the direction of advance (L). A rocker (33) designed as a thumb rest is connected to the pressure plate in such a way that the rocker is pivotable about a pivot axis (V) with respect to the pressure plate. It is thus ensured that the pressure on the pressure plate is applied centrally. The pressure plate is guided on the advancing unit with a guide rod (31). The guide rod has two coplanar guide flanges, which provide guiding with respect to a first transverse direction, and also a longitudinal groove which is arranged between the guide flanges and which provides separate guiding with respect to a second transverse direction. This avoids jamming of the guide rod.
