Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement made to precision positive displacement pipettes intended for the sampling and distribution of small quantities of liquid.
- such positive displacement precision pipettes are already known which are of the type comprising an essentially tubular pipette body at the lower end of which is arranged a calibrated capillary tube in which it moves in a sealed and against an upward elastic restoring force exerted by a main spring, a piston controlled in its downward movement by a control rod protruding from the upper end of said pipette body, as well as a clamping member of the upper end of the piston, which is of the type with elastic branches deviating radially by displacement against the force exerted by a second spring of resistance much greater than that of the main spring and which is integral in translation with said rod control.
- Such a positive displacement pipette is for example described in EP-A-0 014120 belonging to the applicant.
- the present invention specifically aims to achieve a positive displacement pipette which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the positive displacement precision pipette is characterized in that its piston has, in the vicinity of its upper end intended to be gripped by said gripping member, a collar capable of exerting abutment cooperation by its upper face with the free end of the elastic branches of the pinching member and by its lower face with an abutment surface formed on the inner surface of said capillary tube tip.
- the positive displacement pipette comprises an essentially tubular body 10 which, in a particular embodiment, may consist of two separate parts which are secured to each other by screwing.
- the upper part or housing (not shown) allows for example to incorporate a mechanism for adjusting and displaying the volume to be withdrawn and distributed, and the tubular lower part 12 is used mainly for guiding the nipping member 14 of the piston 16.
- the particular adjustment and display mechanism is not part of the present invention and will therefore not be described here in detail. Such a mechanism is for example described in detail in EP-A-0 032 098 filed in the name of the applicant and the lessons of which are integrated into the present description.
- a calibrated capillary tube 18 in which moves, in a sealed manner and against an upward elastic restoring force exerted by a main spring 20, a piston 16 controlled in its movement by a control rod 22 projecting from the upper end of the case of the pipette body 10.
- the pipette has a tip 24 which ends in a calibrated capillary tube 18 and which is able to cooperate by fitting with the free lower end of the pipette body 10.
- a tip 24 will be made of a thermoplastic material chosen to resist the samples with which it comes into contact. It will for example be made of polypropylene or any other semi-rigid thermoplastic material.
- the piston 16 has at least one sealing zone 26 coming into intimate contact with the inner surface of the capillary tube 18.
- a piston 16 can for example advantageously be produced in the form of a 'a stainless steel wire having a coating, for example a coating of polyethylene or teflon, at the sealing zone 26.
- a coating can for example affect a shape generally cylindrical or else may be equipped at its periphery with at least one annular sealing lip coming into intimate contact with the internal surface of the capillary tube 18.
- Such a type of pipette also comprises a clamping member 14 of the upper end of the piston 16, which is of the type with elastic branches 28 deviating radially by displacement against the force exerted by a second spring (not shown) resistance much higher than that of the main spring 20. It is clear that such a clamping member 14 must be secured in translation with the control rod 22 of the pipette.
- this pinching member 14 can for example be in the form of a self-contained cartridge comprising a clamp proper ending at its lower end by elastic branches 28 and of which the other end is screwed into a clamp holder.
- This clamp support is able to slide, against the force exerted by the second spring and according to a partial stroke in the upper part of an orifice formed in the clamp holder 30.
- the latter clamp holder 30 slides itself inside the lower part 12 of the pipette body 10 against the force exerted by the main spring 20. It is important that the end of the elastic branches 28 has an outwardly flaring surface suitable for to be applied tightly against the conical lower opening 32 of the clamp holder 30, and this precisely under the action of the force exerted by the second spring.
- the assembly of this cartridge which constitutes the pinching member of the piston 16 is elastically urged upwards under the action of the force exerted by the main spring 20.
- the holder clamp 30 has a shoulder 34 against which the main spring rests. By its lower end, the main spring 20 comes into fixed support on a shoulder 36 formed on the internal surface of the lower part 12 of the pipette body 10 , in the vicinity of its free lower end.
- the clamp holder 30 can advantageously come into upper abutment against an adjustment screw (not shown), the variable vertical position of which makes it possible to adjust the useful stroke for taking and dispensing the liquid sample.
- the present invention is however not limited to such a type of adjustable pipette, but can of course also extend to fixed pipettes, i. e. pipettes whose adjusting screw would be replaced by an upstroke limit stop which remains fixed in position relative to the pipette body 10.
- the stop for limiting down the useful stroke for dispensing the pipette is made at a shoulder 38 formed in the vicinity of the lower part of the clamp holder 30.
- This shoulder 38 is able to cooperate with the shoulder corresponding 36 formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the pipette body 10.
- Such a lower limit position of the clamp-holder member 14 is illustrated in FIG. 2. It will be noted that this position is obtained at the end of the compression complete with main spring 20.
- the opening 40 of the free lower end of the pipette body 10 is arranged so as to allow at least a portion of the clamping member 14 to be passed which, after compression of the second spring and at the end of the downward stroke, ensures the simultaneous ejection of said end piece 24 and of the piston 16 which remains trapped in the capillary tube 18.
- the piston 16 has a flange 42 located near its upper end intended to be gripped by the elastic branches 28 of the clamping member 14.
- This flange 42 has an upper face capable of cooperating with the free end of the elastic branches 28 of the clamping member 14, as well as a lower face capable of cooperating with a abutment surface 44 formed on the inner wall of the end piece 24 with capillary tube 18, preferably in the vicinity of the junction between the upper flared part of the end piece and the capillary tube 18 proper.
- the flange 42 has a transverse dimension substantially equal to the outer diameter of the elastic branches 28, in the separated state, of the clamping member 14.
- This flange 42 has on its underside at least one peripheral annular zone defining an abutment surface which is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the piston 16. This particular arrangement makes it possible to ensure good abutment cooperation between the underside of the flange 42 and the abutment surface 44 formed on the inner wall of the end piece 24.
- the flange 42 is shaped so as to be perfectly applied against the profile of the opening zone of the pinching member 14.
- the elastic branches 28 of the pinching member have, in the vicinity of their free end, a bevelled internal face intended to facilitate the introduction of the upper end of the piston 16, the upper face of the flange 42 also has a central part affecting a slightly conical profile.
- the upper free end of the piston 16 ends, beyond said flange 42, by a bulged portion 46 which is essentially cylindrical.
- This bulged part 46 can also advantageously have a cone shape of very slight slope inverted with respect to the conical central profile 50.
- This bulged part 46 only intended to facilitate the gripping of the piston 16 between the elastic branches 28 of the pinching member 14 has an axial dimension, extending from the free upper end of the piston 16 to the upper face of the flange 42, which remains significantly less than the depth of the central orifice 48 formed between the elastic branches 28 of the member pinching 14.
- the lower face of the flange 42 comprises, in its central part, centering means, cooperating for example with the stop 44 formed on the inner wall of the end piece 24 with capillary tube 18.
- centering means cooperating for example with the stop 44 formed on the inner wall of the end piece 24 with capillary tube 18.
- annular zone 54 projecting or recessed capable of cooperating elastically with a corresponding annular zone 56 recessed or projecting formed on the surface lateral lateral view of the lower part 12 of the pipette body.
- These annular zones 54, 56 projecting or recessed have been arranged so as to allow a large guide range of the tip 24 on the end of the pipette, for example of the order of 5 to 10 mm and preferably on the order of 6 to 8 mm.
- these annular zones 54, 56 projecting or recessed are also arranged so as to ensure a short engagement and disengagement stroke of the end piece 24, of the order of approximately 2 mm.
