IPC: A61M5/28
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: An extruded plastic tube is introduced into an open tool with main(8) and head(10) plates and cut off outside the head plates to form an opening. The main plates are closed to seal the tube base and the tube inflated via the opening before filling the container with the fluid. A closure plug(3) is inserted into the tube in the head plates and has a fluid delivery cannula at the outer end. An extruded plastic tube is introduced into an open tool with main(8) and head(10) plates and cut off outside the head plates to form an opening. The main plates are closed to seal the tube base and the tube inflated via the opening before filling the container with the fluid. A closure plug(3) is inserted into the tube in the head plates and has a fluid delivery cannula at the outer end with a safety feature including a protective body which moves between forward and retracted positions. Head plates are then closed and the tube end molded to form a protective cover(5) around the cannula.  Expansion and filling of the container in the molding tool are effected simultaneously by a combined blowing and filling mandrel passing through the opening. During closure of the head plates(10) a deliberate weak point(7) is formed in the tube wall at the transition between closure plug(3) and protective cover(5). When the head plates are closed to form the cover a grip is formed to assist rotation of the cover away from the container at the weak point. The closure plug rests on a seat formed by walls of the closed main tool plates(8) adjacent to the head plates.
