Abstract
Abstract To enable geriatric or morbid users to be able to insert a delivery tube (11) into a pressure infusion apparatus (1) between the delivery or pumping mechanism (3, 23) and pressure or application means (2, 22, 32) a cam plate is arranged which bears with a portion of its outer periphery on the pressure means which presses against the action of a spring against the cam plate. Via rotation direction-dependent drivers (8) the cam plate is connected to the delivery mechanism (3, 23) in such a manner that for a given direction of rotation the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and the pressure means can be moved towards or away from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
Pressure infusion apparatus comprising a drive which exerts, via a delivery mechanism, an advancing periodic pressure movement during delivery on a section of a flexible tube containing a medium to be delivered, and a pressure means which is stationary during delivery, characterized in that a cam plate (5) is disposed between the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and the pressure means (2, 22, 32), a portion of the outer periphery of said cam plate (5) bearing on the pressure means (2, 22, 32) which under the action of a force presses against the cam plate (5) and which is connected to the delivery mechanism (3, 23) by means of a rotation direction-dependent driver (5, 58, 68) such that with a predetermined direction of rotation the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and the pressure means (2, 22, 32) are selectively movable toward or away from each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
Pressure infusion apparatus comprising a drive which exerts, via a delivery mechanism, an advancing periodic pressure movement during delivery on a section of a flexible tube containing a medium to be delivered, and a pressure means which is stationary during delivery, characterized in that a cam plate (5) is disposed between the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and the pressure means (2, 22, 32), a portion of the outer periphery of said cam plate (5) bearing on the pressure means (2, 22, 32) which under the action of a force presses against the cam plate (5) and which is connected to the delivery mechanism (3, 23) by means of a rotation direction-dependent driver (5, 58, 68) such that with a predetermined direction of rotation the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and the pressure means (2, 22, 32) are selectively movable toward or away from each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
Pressure infusion apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the cam plate (5) is circular and comprises an eccentrically disposed rotation center (10).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
Pressure infusion apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the cam plate (5) comprises a magnetic region (13) which cooperates with at least one Hall sensor (14a, 14b) for position detection.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
Pressure infusion apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the driver comprises at least one pawl (48) which is secured at a first end thereof to the cam plate (5) or the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and for a given direction of rotation engages at a second end thereof a corresponding recess (21) in the delivery mechanism (3, 23) or in the cam plate (5).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
Pressure infusion apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the driver comprises textile strips (55a, 55b) each having oppositely aligned pile (54a, 54b), one textile strip (55a or 55b) being secured to the cam plate (5) and one textile strip (55b or 55a) being secured to the delivery mechanism (3, 23).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
67 words
Pressure infusion apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the driver comprises at least one spiral spring (68) which is secured at a first end thereof to the cam plate (5) or the delivery mechanism (3, 23) and for a given direction of rotation engages at a second end into a corresponding recess (21) in the delivery mechanism (3, 23) or in the cam plate (5).
