Abstract: This invention relates to an active agent delivery device. More particularly, the invention relates to a delivery device that includes a sleeve to protect the delivery device from transient mechanical forces. The delivery device of the invention is robust and resistant to transient mechanical forces. The invention provides a fluid-imbibing delivery device comprising a housing enclosing an internal compartment, said housing having a first wall section that substantially restricts the passage of fluid into the delivery device, i.e. is substantially fluid-impermeable, and that contains a beneficial agent; a second wall section that permits the passage of fluid into the delivery device, i.e. is fluid-permeable, and that contains at least one expandable driving member; and exit means; with a protective sleeve means extending from the first wall section of the housing to cover and protect the second wall section of the housing and the junction of the first and second sections. The protective sleeve is preferably configured to provide substantially no resistance to flow of fluid or fluid vapors through the fluid-permeable second wall section.

Abstract: A closure element (12) is disposed in a manner so as to be axially movable to a limited degree in an end section of relatively large clear width of the nozzle channel (16). In a forward position (injection position), this closure element permits a flowing of the plasticated plastic from the nozzle channel (16) to the nozzle opening (14). In a rearward closure position, the closure element (12) covers the nozzle channel (16) at its front side under the effect of a decompression stroke. The decompression stroke consists of an axial return stroke of the transport screw injecting the plasticated plastic into an injection mould. A design of this type allows undesired partial and structural colour changes in the finished injection moulding to be avoided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism for a letter file, having a baseplate (10), two sorting pins (12) which project above the baseplate, a folding bar (18) which is mounted so as to be limitedly pivotable on the baseplate (10), an end shield (20) which projects above the baseplate (10) in the region between the sorting pins (12) and the folding bar (18), and an actuating lever (22) which is mounted pivotably on the end shield (20) and acts on a bend (26) in the folding bar (18) counter to the force of a spring (42). In order to achieve easier handling of the mechanism for letter files with the smallest possible pivoting path of the actuating lever (22), a glissette element (28) made of plastic is arranged in the region of the bend (26) in the folding bar (18) and has a sliding surface (36), which projects obliquely above the plane defined by the bend (26) and opens out at its upper end into a catch depression (40), for a lever arm (46) of the actuating lever (22) formed at its tip as a sliding and catch cam (44). In order to achieve a linear contact over the entire pivoting range of the actuating lever (22) between the sliding surface (36) and the sliding and catch cam (44), the sliding surface (36) of the glissette element (28) is coiled in a helical manner in the direction of displacement of the sliding and catch cam (44). <IMAGE>
