Pressure container for applying pressure to a flexible bag received in it and filled with a medical fluid
First Claim
1. A pressure container for applying a pressure to a flexible bag containing a fluid, said flexible bag provided with a discharge line, via which discharge line said fluid is discharged when pressure is applied to said bag, said container comprisinga housing having an opening for inserting said flexible bag into said housing,a cover for closing said opening of said housing,an aperture in said container for passing said discharge line of said flexible bag out of said container,a closure for sealingly joining said cover and said housing, andmeans for delivering a pressure medium into said container,wherein said housing is configured as an upright hollow-cylindrical body, closed at a bottom and open at a top thereof, a cross-section of said housing has a flattened oval shape and corresponds roughly to a cross-sectional contour of said flexible bag, and wherein two opposing large area upright sidewalls of said housing, each have, in mirror-image fashion, a shape of a segment of a cylindrical shell whose lateral ends are joined by joining segments.

Abstract
A pressure container for applying pressure to a flexible bag received in it and filled with a medical fluid, in order to deliver the fluid from the flexible bag, has a housing that has an opening for introduction of the bag. Also provided are a cover for covering the opening, an aperture for leading a fluid discharge line of the bag out of the pressure container, and a closure for sealed joining of the cover and housing. In the interest of simpler design and easier handling, it is proposed that the housing be configured as an upright hollow-cylindrical body, closed at the bottom and open at the top, the cross section of which has a flattened oval shape and corresponds roughly to the cross-sectional contour of a bag; and that the two opposing large-area upright sidewalls each have, in mirror-image fashion, the shape of a segment of a cylindrical shell whose lateral ends are joined by joining segments.
