Abstract

A cover (101) for being located on an infusion device which cover (101) comprises an upper plate element (103) with an upper face (104) and a lower face (105) oriented towards the upper face of the infusion device, wherein the lower face (105) of the plate element (103) comprises attachment means (106), which means cooperate with elements on the infusion device.

Hereby the risk of bacteria and soil collected thereon penetrating into the construction is reduced considerably, and likewise the cover yields a smoother surface with an ensuing minimisation of the risk of the infusion device being torn off.

Claims

1. A cover (101) for being located on an infusion device, said cover (101) comprising an upper plate element (103) with an upper face (104) and a lower face (105) oriented towards the upper face of the infusion device, characterised in that the lower face (105) of the plate element (103) comprises attachment means (106), said means cooperating with elements on the infusion device.

2. A cover according to claim 1, characterised in that the cover (101) further comprises a flange (108) that forms a first angle in relation to the upper plate (103) and is connected thereto.

3. A cover according to claim 2, characterised in that the face of the flange (108) facing towards the outer side faces of the infusion device is essentially congruent therewith.

4. A cover according to claims 2-3, characterised in that the expanse of the upper plate element (101) is smaller than the expanse of the upper face of the infusion device, and that the flange (108) extends partially around the side faces of the infusion device.

5. A cover according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the attachment means (106) are male parts and that the elements on the infusion device are provided by recesses.

6. A cover according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the attachment means (106) comprise at least two protruding partially cylindrical elements located (110) at a first mutual distance.

7. A cover according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the attachment means (106) comprise at least two protruding plate elements (111 ) located at a second mutual distance.

8. A cover according to claim 7, characterised in that the protruding plate elements (111 ) are essentially rectangular plate-shaped and axis parallel with the centre axis of the infusion device.

9. A cover according to claim 7 or 8, characterised in that the protruding plate elements (111) comprise a concave delimiting edge (112) and concave side face (113).
