Patent CA-2418110-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FUKUSHI TATSUO
IPC: B29C48/06
Filed: 2001-08-08
Abstract: A method for enhancing the bond strength between a VDF-containing fluoroplastic layer and an elastomer layer of a multi-layer article. A VDF-containing fluoroplastic composition is applied to the surface of a precursor article that includes a curable elastomer layer to form a fluoroplastic layer.  Prior to application of the fluoroplastic composition, the curable elastomer layer is thermally insulated to prevent it from undergoing substantial heating. Following application, the fluoroplastic layer is heated and the curable elastomer layer is cured (e.g., thermally cured). Preferably, the elastomer cure occurs separately from and subsequent to heating the fluoroplastic layer. The combination of thermally insulating the curable elastomer layer prior to application of the fluoroplastic composition and heating the fluoroplastic layer following application of the fluoroplastic composition results in formation of a strong bond between the fluoroplastic and elastomer layers upon cure.

IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2003-05-26
Abstract: Blood removal system for removing blood for diagnostic purposes. It includes a housing (6), a lancet guide (10), and a lancet drive (12) with a drive spring (22). The lancet drive comprises a cocking device (23), in order to tension the drive spring (22), a drive rotor (24) that is driven by the drive spring (22), and an output-side coupling mechanism (25), by means of which the rotational movement of the drive rotor (24) is converted into the puncturing movement.        Multiple functional improvements are achieved by a design in which the end of the drive spring (22) facing away from the drive rotor (24) is connected to a rotationally moveable cocking element (33). The cocking element (33) is rotatable in the same direction of rotation, in which the drive rotor (24) rotates during the driving phase for tensioning the drive spring (22) while rotation of the drive rotor (24) is inhibited. The cocking element (33) is arrested during the driving phase against a reverse rotation, so that the drive rotor (24), after release of the stoppage, performs a rotational movement, which, by means of the output-side coupling mechanism, is converted into the puncturing movement of the lancet.
