A method is disclosed for producing an apparatus for dispensing a medium. The apparatus includes a cartridge in which a piston is movably receivable. The cartridge includes a cartridge body and a cartridge cover together forming a cartridge housing. The method includes providing a first part in a mold of a molding device, the first part being chosen from at least one of the following parts: cartridge body; piston; cartridge cover. Subsequently, a second part different from the first part is molded in the mold of the molding device, the first part constituting a part of the mold for the second part.

A two-component piston for a cartridge includes a piston cover and a piston body. The piston cover has a radially extending attachment portion, a rear side and a front side. The piston body includes a front side and a rear side. The rear side of the piston cover is arranged adjacent to at least a part of the front side of the piston body and includes a valve member configured and arranged to be received within the piston body and to extend into the piston body towards the rear side of the piston body. The piston cover moves relative to the piston body upon actuation of the valve member, and the piston cover is non-releasably connected to the piston body by a part of the piston body being overmolded to the radially extending portion of the attachment portion of the piston cover.

A method of forming a handle for an oral care implement. The method may include first forming a core structure out of a first hard plastic. Next, an elongated handle body may be formed out of a second hard plastic, whereby during formation the elongated handle body is made to partially surround the core structure, while leaving opposing surfaces of the core structure exposed. Finally, a grip cover may be formed out of a resilient material and positioned over at least a portion of the elongated handle body. The oral care implement handle formed by the method may include a handle having an elongated handle body and a core structure. The elongated handle body may have openings in opposing surfaces. The core structure may be partially surrounded by the elongated handle body while protruding from the openings.

The invention relates to a dispenser container consisting of an outer container and an inner container for receiving a fluid, wherein the outer container and the inner container are formed from blow-moulded plastics, which do not form an integral connection with one another, and wherein a first plastic from which the inner container is formed has a higher elasticity than a second plastic from which the outer container is formed, such that the inner container is deformable, and wherein the outer container has at least one pressure compensation opening for pressure compensation in the region between the outer container and the inner container, wherein the inner container has a first outlet region and the outer container has a second outlet region, wherein the first outlet region can be shifted relative to the second outlet region in an outlet direction.

The present invention relates to an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container (2) having an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container wherein the same polymer is in contact on either side of the interface between the inner (11) and outer layers (12). It also concerns a preform (1, 1′) for blow-moulding a bag-in-container, having an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the thus obtained inner layer of the container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface between the two layers. The inner and outer layers are of the same material.

A preform for an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container uses an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of the container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

Cable gland for guiding a cable through a wall opening, comprising a body element extending along a longitudinal axis and having an internal cable duct extending along the longitudinal axis, a clamping portion arranged on the body element and having a plurality of clamping elements, a tubular sealing element arranged inside the cable duct and connected to the body element, and a cap nut having an axial opening at one end which is mechanically coupled with the body element, wherein the body element is formed from a first material and the cap nut is formed from a second material, wherein the first material and the second material are injection moulded on to one another.

The present invention relates to an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container (2) and preform (1, 1′) for blow-moulding the bag-in-container. An inner layer (11) and an outer layer (12) are used, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of said container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface (14) between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

A mechanical interlock pin assembly includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. The mechanical interlock pin assembly includes a set of helical spline elements disposed at the first end of the shaft, the set of helical spline elements extending along a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The mechanical interlock pin assembly includes a bearing rotatably coupled to the second end of the shaft, the bearing configured to allow rotation of the shaft between a first rotational position and a second rotational position relative to a mold cavity.

A method of making a two-component piston, the two-component piston including a piston cover as the first component and a piston body as the second component. The piston cover is arranged adjacent to the piston body and is configured to be moved relative to the piston body.
