A syringe or carpule includes a cylinder that surrounds a cavity and comprises an end that has an access to the cavity, membrane seals the access and has a puncture area that can be punctured by a needle. A two-part cap has a predetermined breaking line and spans the membrane. A cover device covers the puncture area of the membrane in a sterile manner and comprises a sealing area spanning the puncture area. The sealing area covers the puncture area in a sterile manner regardless of axial forces to be applied in the area of the predetermined breaking line.

A crown, for a medical vial opening, has a top portion and a skirt surrounding the top portion. The skirt terminates at a lower edge defined in a first horizontal plane. An opener assembly is mounted to a portion of the top. A first scoring line extends from the portion of the top to which the opener assembly is mounted to the lower edge of the skirt in a continuous radial direction, and a second scoring line provides an upper radial segment extending from the opener assembly to the skirt along a radial axis, and a lower annular segment that extends circumferentially along the skirt in an annular direction and extending from a terminus of the upper radial segment. The lower annular segment is defined in a second horizontal plane equidistant to the first horizontal plane associated with the lower edge of the skirt.

The present invention relates to a barrier membrane arrangement (10, 110) for a medical device for providing a substantially liquid tight seal between a piercing member and a barrier member (12) and a method for manufacturing such a barrier member arrangement. The present invention also relates to a method for connecting a first and a second medical device at the barrier member arrangement (10, 110). The barrier member arrangement (10, 110) comprises a first member (11), a second member (13) and a barrier member (12). The second member (13) can be interlocked to the first member (11) by means of a connection arrangement (18) at an optional stage by a user. After interlocking the second member (13) to the first member (11), the barrier member (12) has been compressed to provide for an increased leakage security. The barrier member arrangement (10, 110) also provides for a prolonged working life of the barrier member (12) and any medical device which comprises such a barrier member arrangement (10, 110).

A reclosable package for containing smoking papers to be dispensed therefrom, the package comprising: a body for holding the smoking papers; the body having a cover which overlays a surface of the body of the package for closure; wherein the cover opens to form a tray; and wherein the cover and/or body include a closure positioned to form a clasp when the cover is folded over the body.

A method for sealingly closing a bottle (1) is described, the method comprising the steps of: providing a cage (1009, a closing stopper (200) and a capsule (300); joining the stopper to the cage and the cage to the capsule (300), obtaining a preassembled closing assembly; aligning the closing assembly on the mouth of the bottle and exerting a pressure so as to sealingly close the bottle, wherein the annular relief of the cage (100) comes into contact with the bottle before the stopper comes into contact with the bottle.

A container and method for filling same. The container includes a penetrable and resealable portion that is resealable, and a container body having a sealed empty chamber in fluid communication with the penetrable and resealable portion for receiving therein a substance. The container also includes a base, a mid-portion, and an upper portion axially spaced from the base on an opposite side of the mid-portion relative to the base. Each of the base and upper portion define a laterally-extending dimension greater than a maximum laterally-extending dimension of the mid-portion. The method of filling the container includes penetrating the penetrable and resealable portion with an injection member and introducing a substance into the chamber, withdrawing the injection member while engaging the base of the body to substantially prevent upward movement of the body, and applying energy to the penetrable and resealable portion to form a gas-tight seal.

A dispenser is provided for the delivery of controlled, metered amounts of any of numerous different substances to humans or animals, such as medicaments, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products, or to deliver materials that may react upon exposure to air, such as glue. Means are provided in the dispenser to effect controlled delivery of a pre-determined amount of the substance contained in the dispenser. A one-way valve is provided to hermetically seal the portion of the dispenser containing the substance to be dispensed.

A storage box includes a box body having an opening, an upper cover and a side cover. The upper cover has an upper cover body covering removably an upper opening portion of the opening of the box body, a waterproof segment connected to a portion of a periphery of the upper cover body, and two pivot segments connected respectively to opposite ends of the waterproof segment. The side cover has a side cover body covering removably a side opening portion of the opening of the box body, and a pivot section connected pivotally to the pivot segments and having a side edge connected to a portion of a periphery of the side cover body. The pivot section is covered by and received in the waterproof segment of the upper body.
