Abstract: The invention relates to a tampon applicator having a cylindrical outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, which is displaceable therein, is provided with an axial longitudinal slit and encloses a tampon. A tongue-shaped retention element is integrally connected to the outer sleeve so as to be bendable and projects through the longitudinal slit of the inner sleeve into the latter, and lies against the rear end of the tampon. When the inner sleeve is withdrawn out of the outer sleeve, the tampon is held in place by the retention element and transferred into the outer sleeve. The retention element is provided with one part of a locking mechanism (detent plate), the other part of which is formed by one of the two sleeves (longitudinal edges of the longitudinal slit of the inner sleeve. The aforesaid locking parts interact in such a way that the retention element is locked in its engaged position bent into the inner sleeve. The transfer of the tampon out of the inner sleeve into the outer sleeve is thereby ensured when the tampon applicator is utilized, and at the same time a simple, economic mass production of the tampon regulator is ensured.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种具有圆柱形外套筒和可在其中移动的内套筒的棉塞施用器，其具有轴向纵向狭缝并且包围棉条。 舌形保持元件与外套筒一体地连接，以便可弯曲并且穿过内套筒的纵向狭缝突入其中，并且抵靠棉塞的后端。 当内套筒从外套筒中取出时，棉塞通过保持元件保持在适当位置并被转移到外套筒中。 保持元件设置有锁定机构（止动板）的一部分，其另一部分由两个套筒之一（内套筒的纵向狭缝的纵向边缘）形成，上述锁定部件以这样的方式相互作用 保持元件被锁定在弯曲到内套筒中的接合位置的方式，因此当使用棉塞施用器时，可以确保棉塞从内套筒转移到外套筒中，并且同时简单经济 确保棉塞稳定器的大量生产。

Abstract: A new and useful container is disclosed for storing "sharps", e.g., surgical needles or blades, comprising: (a) base means formed of a reusable and sterilizable material containing a source of magnetism; (b) collecting means for surgical needles or blades, said collecting means shaped to provide an interlocking fit with said base means; and (c) cover means with said collecting means to form an enclosure, said cover means capable of tight-fitting engagement with and placement over said collecting means to prevent said surgical needles or blades from escaping from said enclosure when said cover means is in tight-fitting engagement with said collecting means, said collecting means and said cover means attached to each other by hinge means, said collecting means being provided with locking means to lock said cover means with said collecting means when said cover means is in tight fitting engagement with said collecting means. Preferably, the base comprises two or more parallel magnetized ribs mounted on and protruding from a platform, which exist in tight-fitting engagement with conforming apertures in the collecting means, which ribs and apertures synergistically (1) provide a source of magnetism just adequate to attract all sharps when placed into the container and (2) secure the sharps between the collecting means and cover means when the locking means is locked.
