Abstract

Closure devices for sealing a container and systems and methods for sealing containers with the closure devices in parallel are disclosed. The closure device includes a stopper and a cap. The cap includes a ring, a crown, and a lid. The stopper and cap can be arranged in a preloaded position in which the stopper is partially inserted into an opening of the container and a sealed position in which the stopper seals the opening of the container and locks of the ring lock the cap to the container. A spring prevents the lid from engaging with surface of the crown when the sealing force moves the stopper and the cap between the preloaded position and the sealed position to provide a tolerance for compression beyond what is necessary to seal the container.

Abstract

A stopper device including a stopper, cap and ring provided with tabs for locking onto a container neck and a body for handling the ring. The body includes a first mechanism for transmitting a thrust force to the ring and a second mechanism for activating the tabs. The ring and the handling body are respectively provided with first and second retainers that hold the handling body in a waiting position. The handling body is mobile parallel to the thrust force direction and in relation to the ring, between a first position activating the tabs of the ring and is mobile in translation only in the thrust force direction, and a second position that also activates the tabs and is immobilized in relation to the ring in axial translation. The tabs extend from a continuous edge of the ring and are each arranged in an opening with a closed contour.

Abstract

A pharmaceutical syringe piston rod and method for forming the distal end of the rod. The piston has a cavity with an internal thread having a first thread profile ( 18 ) when no external forces are applied to the piston and a second thread profile ( 40 ) different than the first thread profile when the piston is in the barrel of the syringe and the interior surface of the barrel applies a radially inwardly directed reactive force to the piston. The piston rod has a distal end with an external having an external thread profile substantially the same as the second thread profile of the piston. The external thread is formed from a casting of the cavity. The interior surface of the barrel applies substantially no additional radially inwardly directed reactive force to the exterior surface of the piston when the external thread engages the internal thread.
