Description
Garniture en matière plastique pour piston de seringue, et procédé pour sa fabrication Le présent brevet a pour objets une garniture en matière plastique pour piston de seringue et un procédé pour sa fabrication.
Pour les seringues utilisées une seule fois, il est possible d'employer des matières plastiques relative ment peu coûteuses, car il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir, comme pour les stérilisations répétées, des substances résistant à 120 sans déformation. La stérilisation peut en effet être faite au départ au-des sous de 500 par la vapeur de formol, la conserva tion à l'état stérile étant réalisée dans un sachet étanche.
C'est ainsi que l'on peut utiliser des matiè res plastiques, telles que polystyrène transparent et polyéthylène.
Jusqu'à présent la garniture du piston de ces seringues était constituée par un bouchon de caout chouc prenant contact avec la paroi du cylindre de la seringue, par deux ou trois joncs circulaires.
Cette pièce en caoutchouc, assez facile à mouler, est d'un prix de revient assez modique, mais elle reste néan moins un élément relativement coûteux par rapport aux autres éléments de la seringue, étant donné que le temps de vulcanisation ne peut pas être raccourci beaucoup ; même dans les cas favorables il reste égal à quelques minutes.
La garniture objet du brevet a pour but de pal lier ces inconvénients. Elle est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle présente une lèvre circulaire destinée à être couchée contre la paroi du cylindre de la serin gue, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre le piston de la seringue et ladite paroi.
Le procédé de fabrication est caractérisé par le fait que ladite garniture est obtenue par injection, à haute pression, de matière plastique dans un moule.
Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la garniture objet du brevet, et une variante. La fig. 1 en est une vue de détail en demi-coupe. La fig. 2 est une vue en plan de l'extrémité de la garniture de la fig. 1.
La fig. 3 représente en coupe le montage de la garniture à l'extrémité du piston de la seringue.
La fig. 4 montre en demi-coupe une variante. La garniture 1 représentée peut être moulée en polyéthylène haute pression, par injection, ce qui permet des cadences de production beaucoup plus importantes qu'avec le caoutchouc. Cette garniture 1 est réalisée en une seule pièce. D'autre part, elle procure l'étanchéité par une lèvre circulaire 2 de très faible épaisseur (entre un et vingt dixièmes de millimètre par exemple), cou chée contre la paroi 3 du cylindre 4 de la seringue sous un angle très faible.
Cette lèvre circulaire 2 est de dimensions très précises et d'un diamètre très légèrement supérieur au diamètre du cylindre dans lequel la garniture se déplace, de façon qu'elle soit en état de légère con trainte à l'intérieur du cylindre utilisateur (deux à six dixièmes de millimètre de contrainte par exemple pour un diamètre de douze millimètres).
La base 5, plus épaisse, sur laquelle repose la lèvre circulaire 2, présente un diamètre très légère ment inférieur au diamètre intérieur du cylindre 4, de façon à ne pas le toucher.
Le vide 6, où peut se perdre le produit à injec ter, est réduit le plus possible si bien que, tout en restant libre, la lèvre circulaire 2 se trouve très près de la paroi circulaire du fond 7 de la garniture.
A sa partie postérieure 8, la garniture 1 présente une forme lui permettant de s'adapter au piston 9 qui fera l'injection, par exemple une simple cavité cylindrique recevant une extrémité circulaire- du pis- ton, soit un pas de vis en creux, soit une retenue par cran, avec entrée conique facilitant l'introduction du piston 9.
Pour obtenir l'étanchéité dans les deux sens d'aspiration et de compression, il suffit soit d'aug menter la contrainte de la lèvre unique 2, soit plus sûrement de placer à l'opposé de la première lèvre circulaire une seconde lèvre circulaire 10 de mêmes caractéristiques (fig. 4).
La matière constituant cette garniture peut être, sans pour cela se limiter, du polyéthylène, haute pression, dont l'élasticité et la rigidité, de même que les propriétés de glissement, conviennent parfai tement.
Il est à remarquer que cette sorte de garniture convient particulièrement pour les seringues utili- sables une seule fois à cause de la stérilisation.
Plastic seal for syringe plunger, and method for its manufacture The present patent relates to a plastic seal for a syringe plunger and a process for its manufacture.
For syringes used only once, it is possible to use relatively inexpensive plastics, since it is not necessary to have, as with repeated sterilizations, substances resistant to 120 without deformation. Sterilization can in fact be carried out initially at less than 500 by formalin vapor, the preservation in the sterile state being carried out in a sealed bag.
This is how plastic materials can be used, such as transparent polystyrene and polyethylene.
Until now, the lining of the piston of these syringes was constituted by a rubber stopper making contact with the wall of the cylinder of the syringe, by two or three circular rings.
This rubber part, which is fairly easy to mold, has a fairly low cost price, but it nevertheless remains a relatively expensive element compared to the other elements of the syringe, since the vulcanization time cannot be shortened. many ; even in favorable cases it remains equal to a few minutes.
The purpose of the lining which is the subject of the patent is to overcome these drawbacks. It is characterized by the fact that it has a circular lip intended to lie against the wall of the cylinder of the syringe, in order to ensure the seal between the piston of the syringe and said wall.
The manufacturing process is characterized in that the said lining is obtained by injection, at high pressure, of plastic material into a mold.
The drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the lining which is the subject of the patent, and a variant. Fig. 1 is a detail view thereof in half-section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the end of the lining of FIG. 1.
Fig. 3 shows in section the assembly of the seal at the end of the syringe plunger.
Fig. 4 shows a variant in half-section. The gasket 1 shown can be molded in high pressure polyethylene, by injection, which allows much higher production rates than with rubber. This trim 1 is made in one piece. On the other hand, it provides the seal by a circular lip 2 of very small thickness (between one and twenty tenths of a millimeter for example), lying against the wall 3 of the cylinder 4 of the syringe at a very low angle.
This circular lip 2 is of very precise dimensions and of a diameter very slightly greater than the diameter of the cylinder in which the seal moves, so that it is in a state of slight constraint inside the user cylinder (two to six tenths of a millimeter of stress, for example for a diameter of twelve millimeters).
The thicker base 5, on which the circular lip 2 rests, has a diameter very slightly less than the internal diameter of the cylinder 4, so as not to touch it.
The void 6, where the product to be injected can be lost, is reduced as much as possible so that, while remaining free, the circular lip 2 is located very close to the circular wall of the bottom 7 of the lining.
At its rear part 8, the gasket 1 has a shape allowing it to adapt to the piston 9 which will make the injection, for example a simple cylindrical cavity receiving a circular end of the piston, ie a hollow screw thread , or a notch retainer, with conical inlet facilitating the introduction of the piston 9.
To obtain the seal in both directions of suction and compression, it suffices either to increase the stress of the single lip 2, or more surely to place a second circular lip 10 opposite the first circular lip. with the same characteristics (fig. 4).
The material constituting this lining can be, without being limited to this, high pressure polyethylene, the elasticity and rigidity of which, as well as the sliding properties, are perfectly suitable.
It should be noted that this kind of packing is particularly suitable for syringes which can be used once because of sterilization.
