Abstract: The present application concerns a method and a lid for closing a container comprising an outer lid, where the outer lid creates a mechanical closure of the container volume. The outer lid comprises an inner lid placed against the edge of the container neck. It is the scope of the invention to achieve a lid which is tight and which is used for closure of a container in which food is contained. Another scope of the invention is to close a food-containing container by means of the lid without the food being polluted by not wanted chemicals. The lid is modified so that the volume between the outer and inner lid is full or partly closed from contact by the surroundings by closure means, where the actual pressure in the container deflects the inner lid downwards whereby the pressure in the volume between the inner and outer lid is reduced to the approximate same value as in the container whereby a central area of the inner lid is deflected downwards. An effective closure is hereby achieved. The pressure difference across the inner lid is minimal, which results in a nearly total decrease in molecular penetration of the inner lid. A downwards deflection of the midsection of the outer lid is achieved which mid section of the outer lid can be formed as an indication area which has to be deflected downwards for indicating that the container volume is not polluted by penetrating air.

Abstract: A transmission shift device for a transmission having a range group transmission and a shift lever with a superimposed H-shaped shift pattern in which a shift and selector shaft is operatively connected at one end with the shift lever and at the other end with a shift mechanism. A blocking device, which is actuated by, prevents or makes inadvertent transmission gear shifts in a range group detectable to the driver so that the shift and selector shaft is independently shiftable from a first shift gate to a shift gate of the next two lower gears. The transmission shift device prevents undesired incorrect gearshifts in a range group shift as well as making it possible to downshift across several gearsets by making the force of displacing the shift and selector shaft changeable over the regulated distance to the shift gear of the next lower gears.

Abstract: An injection device (210; 110) is provided that includes a housing (212; 112) adapted to receive a syringe (214; 114) that is movable between a retracted position, in which its needle (218; 118) is contained within the housing, and an extended position, in which its needle (218; 118) extends from the housing (212; 112) through an exit aperture (228; 128). The device (210; 110) includes a drive (230, 231, 232, 234; 130, 131, 132, 134) that acts upon the syringe (214; 114) to advance it from its retracted position to its extended position and to discharge its contents through its needle (218; 118). A syringe carrier (222; 122) is advanced with the syringe (214; 114) and a sleeve (219; 119) restrains the advancement of the syringe carrier (222; 122) as the syringe (214; 114) reaches its extended position. A damping element (225; 125) acts between the syringe carrier (222; 122) and the sleeve (219; 119) to cushion the impact as they come into contact, thereby reducing the transmission of energy from the impact to the components of the drive (230, 231, 232, 234; 130, 131, 132, 134) and preventing their fracture. The damping element (225; 125) also reduces the noise, which may be distressing to a user of the device (210; 110), produced when the syringe carrier (222; 122) and the sleeve (219; 119) come into contact and reduces the pain suffered by a user upon operation of the device (210; 110).
