| 20080196819 | Device and Process For the Splicing of Label Bands - A process and a device for the splicing of label bands having a conveying device for the forward movement of a first forward label band and of a second trailing label band along a transport path, and a splicing station for exerting a splicing pressure during the transport. In order to ensure that the splicing can be carried out reliably and precisely, even at high band speeds there is provided within the transport path in front of the splicing station, a separating device for the formation of a defined end edge on the trailing end of the forward label band. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090205786 | VACUUM CYLINDER FOR A LABELING APPARATUS - The invention relates to a vacuum cylinder for a labeling apparatus comprising a bottom support and a plurality of spaced-apart supporting elements, the longitudinal directions of which extend essentially perpendicular to the plane of the bottom support, wherein the bottom support has a receiving opening for receiving a shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and the supporting elements are in each case releasably connected to the bottom support via a first end section, and the bottom support has a plurality of cutouts which are arranged in the radial direction of the bottom support between the receiving opening and the supporting elements. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090301650 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORTING LABEL STRIPS - The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for transporting a label strip from a self-adhesive labelling machine, which comprises a frame and at least two grooved rollers attached to the frame, to a label-devoid strip store. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100051179 | LABELING SYSTEM - A labeling system may include a labeling device which applies labels to objects, for example, containers, and a loading device which is arranged upstream of this labeling device and which supplies the labeling device with labels. The loading device may comprise a transport device which transports a second label strip and comprises at least two carriers for first label strips wound onto label rolls. The carriers may be arranged next to one another on holding devices. A joining unit may be provided which can be displaced between the carriers in a first movement direction and which joins sections of the first label strips, which are arranged on the carriers, to sections of the second label strips, which are guided in the transport device. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20080215048 | Electrosurgical Instrument - The invention relates to an electrosurgical instrument for coagulating and/or cutting biological tissue, which can be manufactured easily and economically, wherein a surgical intervention is to be carried out easily and reliably with the instrument. For this purpose, the instrument comprises the following:
| 09-04-2008 |
| 20090036887 | Electrosurgical Instrument - The invention relates to an electrosurgical instrument for cutting and/or coagulating a tissue to be treated, comprising at least one cutting electrode for conducting a high-frequency (“HF”) current through the tissue for carrying out a cutting process and comprising power supply devices for supplying the HF current at least to the cutting electrode. The design of the electrosurgical instrument is improved so that the cutting process can be carried out with an increased reliability while prolonging the serviceable life of the cutting electrode at the same time. To this end, the cutting electrode is mounted on the electrosurgical instrument in a manner that enables it to rotate about a rotation axis and comprises at least one cutting area which is provided in the form of a helical curve or similar three-dimensional curve running around the rotation axis and which is arranged in such a manner that when the cutting electrode rotates about the rotation axis it is active over its length in sections on the tissue when a section falls below a defined minimum distance from the tissue and/or is located within a defined window area. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090043305 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - Surgical instruments are provided for performing laparoscopic or similar minimally invasive operations, including two clamping parts, which can move towards one another and which have clamping surfaces for gripping tissue when they are closed. A cutting device has a cutting edge that, in a cutting direction, can be displaced relative to the clamping parts for cutting the gripped tissue. In such an instrument the cutting direction extends at an acute angle to the clamping surfaces when they are closed. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100016879 | TUBULAR SHAFT INSTRUMENT - The present application relates to a tubular shaft instrument for separating tissue. The invention relates to a tubular shaft instrument that results in more reliable, cleaner separation of tissue. To achieve this, in contrast to conventional cutting devices, the blade is not displaced through the fixed tissue, but glides over the latter until a complete separation is ascertained. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100030213 | TUBULAR SHAFT INSTRUMENT - The invention relates to tubular shaft instruments, which are provided with a handle, a tubular shaft and a tool head. The tool head usually has two mouth parts, which can be displaced in relation to one another for gripping and fixing tissue. The invention discloses a slotted guide system for forming the articulation, said system having a virtual fulcrum outside the tubular shaft instrument. | 02-04-2010 |
