A container lid and lock ring combination includes a lid for a container and a lock ring configured to extend loosely around the lid. The lock ring is configured to be tightened for securing the lid to a container. A joint connects the lid and the lock ring to one another.

A cylindrical cardboard container comprising: a circular bottom wall having an outer bottom wall edge; a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall edge, the circular bottom wall and the cylindrical sidewall delimiting a receiving cavity sized and shaped to receive a plurality of items; a plurality of item holders for holding the items relative to each other within the receiving cavity, each item holder being configured for holding at least one of the items, the item holders being stackable to form a plurality of item layers within the receiving cavity.

A filter device has a filter housing and a clamping bracket engaging around the filter housing. The clamping bracket includes a bracket and a clamping collar that are swivelably coupled by a hinge, the bracket and the clamping collar being positively connected adjacent to the hinge through the engagement of a projection into an engagement window.

A closure is provided for a pressure vessel or pipelines that can provide quick and easy access to the interior of a pressure vessel or pipeline and means for a pressure tight seal between the hub and door. The closure can incorporate means for mechanically fastening the door to the hub using an external split clamp ring actuated by a toggle mechanism. A locking mechanism can be provided to safeguard against unintended closure actuation and provides a layer of redundancy to the holding characteristics of the toggle mechanism. The locking mechanism can be interlocked to a pressure alert system to ensure any differential pressure condition contained within the closure is detected prior to disengaging the locking mechanism and actuating the toggle mechanism.

A claim ring for a lid, components thereof, and associated methods. The clamp ring is configured to maintain a lid on a mouth of a container to form a seal therebetween. The clamp ring includes a clamping mechanism including a wheel and a pull. The wheel is turnable to pull the pull to draw end portions of the clamping ring toward each other. A tool receiver can be engaged by a tool and turned by the tool to turn the wheel with the mechanical advantage of the tool.

An apparatus for a sterile transfer of a material incudes a second safety device which locks an actuation mechanism in a closed position and unlocks the actuation mechanism when a container flange is correctly connected to a port flange, a third safety device which locks the container flange connected to the port flange when the actuation mechanism leaves the closed position, and a fourth safety device which blocks a return of the actuation mechanism from the open position to the closed position when the port door is open. The second, third and/or fourth safety device comprises two magnetic elements with at least one closed wall being arranged between the two magnetic elements. The two magnetic elements are configured to mutually attract or to mutually repel through the at least one closed wall either in a lock position or in an unlock position of the second, third and/or fourth safety device.

The present invention relates to a closing ring closure device (10) fora closing ring (12) with a closing lever (14) and a one-piece or two-piece traction bracket (16), each of which are pivotably mounted by means of pivot bearings (18, 20) on a pivot bearing base (22, 24) on the closing ring side, wherein the traction bracket (16) and the closing lever (14) are pivotably connected to one another by means of a further pivot bearing (26). For automation in production technology and for the use of mechanical closing ring closure devices, e.g. on automatic filling lines, it is very advantageous if the two components closing lever (14) and traction bracket (16) are provided with special constructive means which are designed in a mutually coordinated functional mode between the two components as a snap-fit device for fixing the closing ring closure device (10) in wide-open closing lever position.

A container lid has a top panel defining a top side and an underside opposite the top side; a channel extending annularly around a periphery of the top panel, the channel open toward an underside direction on the lid; and a first wiper seal and a second wiper seal protruding downward from within the channel The first and second wiper seals are spaced apart from one another in a radial direction. When the lid is attached to a container to close off a top opening, the first and second wiper seals contact a surface of a container rim such that the first wiper seal bends radially inward relative to the container rim and the second wiper seal bends radially outward relative to the container rim.
