Description

RESERVOIR DOSEUR-DISTRIBUTEUR POUR GRANULES. DOSER-DISPENSER TANK FOR PELLETS.
La présente invention se rapporte à un réservoir doseur-distribureur manuel pour produits en grains, en particulier pour granules homéopathiques. La Figure 1-a représente mon idée de départ, une loi physique, que "Si un tube vertical, fermé par le bas, traverse un clapet souple qui obture l'entrée d' un réservoir et y puise la quantité maximale d' éléments qu'il peut contenir, au moment où i l ressort, le clapet se referme derrière le dernier élément absorbé et juste devant l' élément suivant. -L' invention est conçue après cette idée. La Figure 1 jointe représente schématiquement, en coupe partielle, un tube de distribution de granules homéopathiques. Ce tube comporte essentiellement un corps principal (l) qui reçoit les granules et un capuchon (2) qui s'emboîte sur ce corps par cόulissement axial étroit. Pour verser le nombre de granules prescrtes, par exemple 5 à, chaque prise par le malade , il faut retirer le capuchon et extraire les granules avec précaution du tube !-On comprend aisément qu'il est très difficile avec ce genre de distributeur de réaliser rapidement un dosage correct. Il est en effet nécessaire que ces granules ne touchent pas la main de malade et qu'ils soient versés directement sous la langue. En outre , il arrive très fréquement que des granules tombent par terre et soient perdus pour le malade. Un autre inconvénient de ces dispositifs connus est qu' afin de faciliter l'extraction et le dosage, il comportent une 3-e pièce, un dit "bouchon-doseur" souvent salivé...The present invention relates to a manual metering-dispensing tank for grain products, in particular for homeopathic granules. The Figure 1-a represents my idea of departure, a physical law, that "If a vertical tube, closed from below, crosses a flexible valve which closes the entry of a tank and draws from it the maximum quantity of elements that 'it can contain, when it comes out, the valve closes behind the last absorbed element and just in front of the next element. -The invention is conceived after this idea. Figure 1 attached shows schematically, in partial section, a homeopathic granule distribution tube This tube essentially comprises a main body (l) which receives the granules and a cap (2) which fits onto this body by narrow axial coiling To pour the number of prescribed granules, for example 5 At each take by the patient, you must remove the cap and carefully extract the granules from the tube! - We can easily understand that it is very difficult with this kind of dispenser to quickly achieve a correct dosage. necessary effect that these granules do not touch the patient's hand and that they are poured directly under the tongue. In addition, it very often happens that granules fall to the ground and are lost to the patient. Another drawback of these known devices is that in order to facilitate extraction and dosing, they comprise a 3-th piece, a so-called "dosing cap" often salivated ...
L' invention remédie à ces inconvénients. Elle se rapporte à cet effet à un réservoir doseur-distributeur manuel pour produits en graine qui ne comporte que deux pièces pour le malade: un corps principal qui contient les granules et un capuchon axial de fermeture de corps principal. -Le corps principal présente une embouchure en forme interne de goulot d' étranglement et cette embouchure est obturée par un olapet souple fendu. Le capuchon axial comporte, à l' intérieur, un tube longitudinal axial de diamètre interne supérieur à celui des granules, -ce tube étant ouvert à son extrémité libre voisine de l' ex trémité libre du capuchon et fermé à son extrémité voisine du fond du capuchon, -ici. L'embouchure de ce tube est située en-deçà de celle du capuchon. et sa profondeur est réglée pour qu'il puisse recevoir un empilage d' un nombre déterminé de granules correspondant à la dose de prise ordonnée. La distance axiale entre les embouchures de ce tube et du capuchon est inférieure à la distance maximale d'emboîtement du capuchon sur le corps principal nécessair à la fermeture totale du réservoir doseur-distributeur. De cette manière, cett opération de fermeture entraîne la pénétration verticale du tube dans le clapet souple fendu et la descente, par la gravité, des granules dans le tube. L' invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description suivante de de quelques exemples non limitatifs de réalisât ions, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates for this purpose to a manual metering-dispensing tank for seed products which has only two parts for the patient: a main body which contains the granules and an axial cap for closing the main body. -The main body has a mouth in the form of an internal bottleneck and this mouth is closed by a flexible split olapet. The axial cap has, inside, an axial longitudinal tube with an internal diameter greater than that of the granules, this tube being open at its free end close to the ex free end of the cap and closed at its end close to the bottom of the cap, -here. The mouth of this tube is located below that of the cap . and its depth is adjusted so that it can receive a stack of a determined number of granules corresponding to the orderly dose. The axial distance between the mouths of this tube and the cap is less than the maximum distance of fitting of the cap on the main body necessary for the total closure of the metering-dispensing tank. In this way, this closing operation causes the vertical penetration of the tube into the split flexible valve and the descent, by gravity, of the granules into the tube. The invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the following description of some nonlimiting examples of embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- Figure 2 est une vue partielle éclatée du réservoir doseur-distributeur conforme à l'invention. - Figure 3 est une vue de détail de dessus du clapet souple utilisé dans ce réservoir doseur-distributeur.- Figure 2 is a partial exploded view of the metering-dispensing tank according to the invention. - Figure 3 is a detail view from above of the flexible valve used in this metering-dispensing tank.

En se reportant à la Figure 2,-Ge réservoir doseur-distributeur ma nuel pour produits en grains, par exemple pour granules homéopathiques, -comporte un corps principal (1)et un capuchon (2)qui est apte à s'emboîter sur ce corps (1)on ooulissement étroit, de la mδme manière que les dispositifs actuels, par exemple celui représenté sur la Figure 1 pré-citée.Referring to Figure 2, -Ge manual dispenser-dispenser manual for grain products, for example for homeopathic granules, -has a main body (1) and a cap (2) which is able to fit onto this body (1) on narrow ooulissement, in the same way as current devices, for example that shown in Figure 1 above.
En revanche, le corps (l) présente une embouchure, un tunnel (3), dont la partie intérieure a une forme de goulot d' étranglement (4). l' angle de ce goulot est, par exemple, d'environ 20º. En outre, cette embouchure est obturée par un clapet souple fendu (5) , -qui est représenté plus en détail sur la Figure 3, et qui comporte dans cet exemple deux fentes orthogonales (6 et 7) . A remarquer que le clapet (5) peut Stre rapporté comme ici, mais il peut aussi être conçu dans la masse du réservoir (l) , ainsi qu'être de matières différentes. Le capuchon axial (2)est extrêmement particulier, et il comporte , à l' intérieur, un tube longitudinal axial (8) de diamètre intérieur supérieur à celui des granules (12) pourpermettre leur écoulement aisé, -ce tube étant ouvert à son extrémité libre (9) voisine de l'extrémité libre (10) du capuchon (2) et fermé à son autre extrémité par le piston (11),-ici-voisine du fond (42) du capuchon.On the other hand, the body (l) has a mouth, a tunnel (3), the inner part of which has the shape of a bottleneck (4). the angle of this neck is, for example, about 20º. In addition, this mouth is closed by a flexible split valve (5), which is shown in more detail in Figure 3, and which comprises in this example two orthogonal slots (6 and 7). Note that the valve (5) can Stre reported as here, but it can also be designed in the mass of the tank (l), as well as being of different materials. The axial cap (2) is extremely special, and it has, inside, an axial longitudinal tube (8) with an inner diameter greater than that of the granules (12) to allow their easy flow, this tube being open at its end. free (9) near the free end (10) of the cap (2) and closed at its other end by the piston (11), - here-near the bottom (42) of the cap.
A remarquer que le tube (8) peut être conçu dans la masse du capuchon (2)comme ici,mais il peut aussi être rapporté au capuchon d'une façon quelconque.-L'embouchure (9) de ce tube intérieur (8) est située en-deçà de celle du capuchon (2),et sa profondeur (p) est réglée pour qu'il puisse recevoir un empilage d'un nombre déterminé de granules (12) correspondant à la dose de prise ordonnée.La distance axiale (d) entre les embouchures de ce tube (8) et du capuchon (2) est inférieure à la distance maximale (D) d'emboîtement du capuchon sur le corps principal,nécessaire à la fermeture totale du réservoir doseur-distributeur.Il s'ensuit,comme on verra ci-après,que cette opération de fermeture entraîne la pénétration du tube (8) dans le clapet (5),et,lorsque l'on retourne alors le réservoir (l) vers le bas,la possibilité de descente d'un nombre prédéterminé de sep granules dans ce tube.Note that the tube (8) can be designed in the mass of the cap (2) as here, but it can also be attached to the cap in any way.-The mouth (9) of this inner tube (8) is located below that of the cap (2), and its depth (p) is adjusted so that it can receive a stack of a determined number of granules (12) corresponding to the orderly dosage dose. (d) between the mouths of this tube (8) and of the cap (2) is less than the maximum distance (D) of fitting of the cap on the main body, necessary for the total closure of the metering-distributing reservoir. It follows, as will be seen below, that this closing operation leads to the penetration of the tube (8) into the valve (5), and, when the tank (l) is then turned downwards, the possibility of lowering a predetermined number of sep granules into this tube .
Les Figures 4 à 8 illustrent particulièrement bien le fonctionnement de ce dispositif:Figures 4 to 8 illustrate particularly well the operation of this device:
- La Figure 4 montre le réservoir doseur-distributeur tel qu' il est livré, rempli de granules homéopathiques (12),-mais,bien entendu,la tige (15) peut Stre rentrée dans le capuchon jusqu'à sa position numéro 2.-Ce réservoir doseur-distributeur peut comporter,à ce stade,une étiquette autocollante (13) qui entoure le réservoir (l).Cette étiquette limite l'enfoncement à ce stade du capuchon (2) sur le corps (l),de façon à ce que ce capuchon reste à une distance (d)par rapport à sa pénétration maximale .(D) pré-citée.Cette Figure (4) montre aussi que,dans cette position de stockage,l'embouchure (9)du tube (8) vient juste affleurer le clapet (5) et il n'exerce donc aucune pression sur ce clapet.Dans le tube (8) peut coulisser un piston (il) qui permet de régler la profondeur effective (p) du tube.Dans cet exemple non limitatif de réalisation,ce piston (il) peut εtre réglé et déplacé au moyen d'une tige (15) qui présente des rainures autocassantes (16).Ces rainures permettent aussi le coincement de cette tige dans le trou central (16-b) du fond (32) du capuchon dont la forme est prévue complémentaire à cet effet.-Dans l'exemple de réalisationschématisée,la tige (15) est réglée de façon que le tube reçoive 1à dose maximale de granules,qui est égale à cinq dans cet exemple,- nombre qui est indiqué par l'un des signaux (45).-Bien entendu,si l'on' veut effectuer le réglage du tube (8)pour une dose inférieure à 5,il suffit d'enfoncer la tige (15) jusqu'à ce qu'elle vienne se coincer par son 2-e cran,ou son 3-e,etc. - La Figure 5 montre la première phase d'utilisation de ce dispositif: après,bien entendu,avoir déchiré l'étiquette (l3),on enfonce le capuchon (2) sur le corps princi pal ( 1) , jusqu 'à ce que ce capuchon soit, cette foi s-ci, enti érement emboîté. Cette opération d'enfoncement provoque la pénétration du tube (8) à travers le clapet (5), -et donc son ouverture. La position de la Figure 5 montre le capuchon entièrement enfoncé, -et donc le tube (8 entièrement introduit dans le corps (l). Cette action a pour autre effet de séparer les granules (I2) qui sont, dans leur position norm ale de stockage, agglomérée l' un à l'autre, en particulier par les forces électrostatiques. -Le corps (l) et le capuchon (2) étant retournés ensemble vers le bas, les granules ont tendance à descendre dans le tube (8 ) sous l'effet de la gravité. On favorise cette descente en tapotant légèrement sur le corps (l) avec le doigt. - Ilconvient de remarquer que l'embouchure du corps (l) est avantageusement taillée en biseau (4) ,- ce qui facilite la descente.- Figure 4 shows the metering-dispensing tank as it is delivered, filled with homeopathic granules (12), - but, of course, the rod (15) can be retracted into the cap to its position number 2. -This metering-dispensing tank may include, at this stage, a self-adhesive label (13) which surrounds the tank (l). This label limits the insertion at this stage of the cap (2) on the body (l), so this cap remains at a distance (d) from its maximum penetration. (D) cited above. This Figure (4) also shows that, in this storage position, the mouth (9) of the tube ( 8) comes just flush with the valve (5) and therefore exerts no pressure on this valve. In the tube (8) can slide a piston (it) which allows to adjust the effective depth (p) of the tube. non-limiting example of embodiment, this piston (it) can be adjusted and moved by means of a rod (15) which has self-breaking grooves (16). es also allow the wedging of this rod in the central hole (16-b) of the bottom (32) of the cap, the shape of which is provided complementary for this purpose. so that the tube receives 1 at maximum dose of granules, which is equal to five in this example, - number which is indicated by one of the signals (45) .- Of course, if one wants to carry out the adjustment of the tube (8) for a dose of less than 5, it suffices to push the rod (15) until it comes to be caught by its 2-th notch, or its 3-th, etc. - Figure 5 shows the first phase of using this device: after, of course, having torn the label (13), the cap (2) is pushed in on the main body (1), until this cap is, this faith here, fully fitted. This sinking operation causes the tube (8) to penetrate through the valve (5), and therefore to open it. The position in Figure 5 shows the cap fully depressed, and therefore the tube (8 fully inserted into the body (l). This action has the further effect of separating the granules (I2) which are, in their normal position from storage, agglomerated to one another, in particular by electrostatic forces. -The body (l) and the cap (2) being turned down together, the granules tend to descend into the tube (8) under the effect of gravity. We favor this descent by tapping lightly on the body (l) with the finger. - It should be noted that the mouth of the body (l) is advantageously cut in a bevel (4), - which facilitates lowering.
- Figure 6. L' opération de la Figure 5 étant terminée, on retire alors progressivement le capuchon (2) du corps (l) , - ensuite la M Figure 7 montre que lorsque le tube (8) parvient en dessous du niveau du clapet (5) , ce clapet se referme progressivement sur et après le dernier granule (12) programmé et empSche les autres granules de descendre plus bas. Il convient de remarquer que le clapet se referme juste après le dernier granule dosé et juste avant le suivant, fait qui permet d' avoir une certaine tolérance dans leur grandeur. Le dispositif est donc prêt pour un emploi ultérieur. - A ce stade, le tube (8) est plein de la dose désirée, dans ce cas 5 granules. - Comme représenté à la Figure 8, - pour absorber ces granules, il suffit de retourner le capuchon (2) avec ce tube directement dans la bouche et les granules y tombent sans avoir pu étre souillés par aucun contact extérieur, -le tube (8) étant bien suffisament reculé en arrière dans le capuchon (2) .- Figure 6. The operation of Figure 5 having been completed, the cap (2) is then gradually removed from the body (l), - then M Figure 7 shows that when the tube (8) reaches below the level of the valve (5), this valve gradually closes on and after the last granule (12) programmed and prevents the other granules from going lower. It should be noted that the valve closes just after the last granule dosed and just before the next, a fact which allows a certain tolerance in their size. The device is therefore ready for later use. - At this stage, the tube (8) is full of the desired dose, in this case 5 granules. - As shown in Figure 8, - to absorb these granules, simply turn the cap (2) with this tube directly into the mouth and the granules fall into it without being able to be soiled by any external contact, - the tube (8 ) being far enough back in the cap (2).
- La Figure 9 montre une variante du dispositif dans laquelle le dosage est réglé par une pièce (17) posée dans le tube (8). Ici cette pièce règle la dose à 3 granules, la quantité la plus souvent prescrite en homéopathie.- Figure 9 shows a variant of the device in which the dosage is adjusted by a part (17) placed in the tube (8). Here this piece sets the dose to 3 granules, the amount most often prescribed in homeopathy.
- La Figure 10 montre comment on peut adapter le dispositif de l'invention sur l' ensemble des tubes existants, tel que celui de la Figure 1. Cette adaptation nécessite simplement l'apport de pièces complémentaires, le porte-clapet et le porte-tube (19) en particulier,- qui sontréalisees séparément et rapportées ensuite à l'intérieur des tubes déjà existants.- Figure 10 shows how we can adapt the device of the invention on all existing tubes, such as that of Figure 1. This adaptation simply requires the addition of additional parts, the valve holder and the tube holder (19) in particular, which are produced separately and then brought back inside the already existing tubes.
- La Figure 10-a présente un porte-clapet (18) complémentaire qui fixe son clapet (5) par un bouchon fileté (43)σlassique. - La Figure 10-b présente un porte-tube (il) en détail.- Figure 10-a presents a valve holder (18) complementary which fixes its valve (5) by a threaded plug (43) σlassique. - The Figure 10-b presents a tube holder (il) in detail.
La Figure 10-c présente un porte-clapet (18) ayant des barrettes (18-a) pour séparer les granules et faciliter leur écoulement. - La Figure 11 montre une variante dans laquelle le piston (il) est à coulissement doux dans le tube (8). - La Figure 12 montre une autre variante pour laquelle la course du piston (11), qui est également à coulissement doux,-est limitée vers le bas par une pièce de blocage auxilière (20).Figure 10-c presents a valve holder (18) having bars (18-a) to separate the granules and facilitate their flow. - Figure 11 shows a variant in which the piston (it) is smooth sliding in the tube (8). - Figure 12 shows another variant for which the stroke of the piston (11), which is also smooth sliding, -is limited downwards by an auxiliary blocking piece (20).
- La Figure 13 montre la possibilité de combinaison d'un réglage par crans (16) et d'un réglage doux,- ce réglage doux étant réalisé grâce à un piston auxiliaire (22).- Figure 13 shows the possibility of combining a setting by notches (16) and a soft setting, - this soft setting being achieved by an auxiliary piston (22).
- La Figure 14 montre une autre variante qui comporte une poire souple (23) , du genre compte-gouttes. Cette poire souple étant apte à faciliter l'introduction des granules dans le tube (8) par aspiration et la leur extraction par soufflage. - Figures 15 à 21 : Dans tous les exemples précédents , le réglage du dosage dans le tube preneur-verseur (8) était effectué par déplacement axial d'une tige elle-méme axiale. -Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce type de réglage, et les Figures 15 à 21 , par exemple, montrent deux autres types de dispositifs de réglage dans lesquels l'action de réglage est effectuée Par pression sur un bouton, sur une tδte ou organe analogue, qui est placé latéralement par rapport au capuchon.- Figure 14 shows another variant which includes a flexible bulb (23), of the dropper type. This flexible pear being able to facilitate the introduction of the granules into the tube (8) by suction and their extraction by blowing. - Figures 15 to 21: In all the previous examples, the metering adjustment in the take-off tube (8) was carried out by axial displacement of a rod itself axial. -It is understood that the invention is not limited to this type of adjustment, and Figures 15 to 21, for example, show two other types of adjustment devices in which the adjustment action is performed by pressing a button, on a head or the like, which is placed laterally with respect to the cap.
En se rapportant aux Figures 15 à 18, -il est prévu un poussoir axial (24) qui peut coulisser dans le tube (8) fendu (33) à cet effet. Ce poussoir (24) comporte une téte latérale (25) dont la partie libre, avec son indicateur (26) , est accessible de l'extérieur par une ouverture (27) , pratiquée dans le capuch (2) . -Somme on le voit sur la Figure 17, l' ouverture est normalement recouverte par une étiquette auto- col lante ( 28). Cette ouverture est équipée d'en oches (29), Qui coopèrent de manière complémentaire aveo un têton (30) prévue sur la tête (25), - Figures 17 et lδ.La tête et le poussoir (24) sont reliée par une languette souple (il) qui est conformée pour pouvoir, -comme on le voit sur la Figure 18, -s 'incliner latéralement dans le plan transversal. - On fait le réglage de la façon suivante ,- Figure 17 : on décolle l' étiquette (28) qui cache l' ouverture (27) du capuchon (2) ,- puis , le têton (30) étant emboîté dans un encoche (29), on comprend aisément que le poussoir (24) est normalement bloqué dans cette position. -Pour changer le réglage , il suffit d'incliner la languette (31 ), comme schématisé sur la Figure 18, - pour sortir le têton de son encoohe correspondante, puis, il convient de déplacer la tête, dans un sens axial ou dans l'autre, afin d'émaner le téton devant la nouvelle graduation souhaitée. - Ce têton s 'enclenche donc à nouveau dans l'encoche désirée, de sort que le poussoir (24) se trouve à nouveanbloqué dans cette position de réglage, -comme on le voit sur la Figure 17.Referring to Figures 15 to 18, there is provided an axial pusher (24) which can slide in the split tube (8) (33) for this purpose. This pusher (24) has a lateral head (25), the free part of which, with its indicator (26), is accessible from the outside via an opening (27), formed in the cap (2). -As seen in Figure 17, the opening is normally covered by a self-adhesive label (28). This opening is equipped with notches (29), which cooperate in a complementary manner with a stud (30) provided on the head (25), - Figures 17 and lδ.The head and the pusher (24) are connected by a tongue flexible (it) which is shaped to be able, as seen in FIG. 18, to tilt laterally in the transverse plane. - The adjustment is made as follows, - Figure 17: we take off the label (28) which hides the opening (27) of the cap (2), - then, the pin (30) being fitted into a notch ( 29), it is easily understood that the pusher (24) is normally locked in this position. -To change the setting, simply tilt the tongue (31), as shown in Figure 18, - to remove the pin from its corresponding slot, then move the head in an axial direction or in the 'other, to emanate the nipple in front of the new desired graduation. - This pin therefore snaps back into the desired notch, so that the pusher (24) is again locked in this adjustment position, -as seen in Figure 17.
Comme il va de soi , l' étiquette (28) est ensuite rabattue de manière à couvrir hermétiquement l' orifice de réglage, -cette étiquette participant aussi au bloquage de la tête (25). Les Figures 19 ,20 et 21 représβnent une variante de réalisation du dispositif précédent. - Dans ce cas , il est encore prévu un poussoir (24 ) , mais son dispositif de blocage est quelque peu différent: la languette (31 ) dont il était question précédemment est remplacée par un court tronçon qui forme col (32) , - et qui est apte à coulisser dans une rainure (33) garnie de paires d'encoches latérales (34) régulièrement espaoées. Ce dispositif comporte, lui aussi, une tête (25) accessible comme précédemment de l' extérieur. Il comporte lui aussi une étiquette auto-collante (28 ) . - Le réglage axial du poussoir (24) s'effectue simplement en poussant solidairement sa tête (25) en direction axiale , de façon à déplacer l'ensemble, -(25) , (32) , (24) , - ce déplacement étant effectué jusqu'à ce que le col (32) s'enclenche solidement dans un couple d'encoches associées (34 ) . -A remarquer, que sur la Figure 20 le capuchon (2) est fermé par un bouchon (40).As is obvious, the label (28) is then folded down so as to hermetically cover the adjustment orifice, this label also participating in the blocking of the head (25). Figures 19, 20 and 21 represent a variant embodiment of the previous device. - In this case, a pusher (24) is still provided, but its blocking device is somewhat different: the tongue (31) which was mentioned previously is replaced by a short section which forms a neck (32), - and which is able to slide in a groove (33) provided with pairs of regularly notched side notches (34). This device also comprises a head (25) accessible as previously from the outside. It also has a self-adhesive label (28). - The axial adjustment of the pusher (24) is done simply by pushing its head (25) in an axial direction, so as to move the assembly, - (25), (32), (24), - this displacement being performed until the neck (32) snaps securely into a couple of associated notches (34). -Note that on the Figure 20 the cap (2) is closed by a plug (40).
- La Figure 22 présente deux bouchons (41) portant, -l'un un tube (8) avec sa fente liese (33) , - Figures 15 et 16, - et l'autre .un tube (8) dont la fente (33) a des crans de réglage (34),- voir Figure 20. Ces bouύhons complémentaires sont à installer dans leur capuchon respectif (20).- Figure 22 shows two plugs (41) carrying, - one a tube (8) with its linked slot (33), - Figures 15 and 16, - and the other. A tube (8) whose slot ( 33) has adjustment notches (34), - see Figure 20. These complementary plugs are to be installed in their respective caps (20).
- La Figure 23-a montre une variante de capuchon (2) dont le rebord de protectioh (35) est fermé par l' étiquette autocollante (36). La Figure 23-b montre cette étiquette décollée du rebord et on voit la tige (15) cassée après son réglage. L' étiquette est ensuite recollée sur le rebord,- Figure 23-a,- pour assuérer l' étenchéité du capuchon et pour consolider le réglage.- the Figure 23-a shows a variant of cap (2) whose protective rim (35) is closed by the adhesive label (36). The Figure 23-b shows this label detached from the rim and one sees the rod (15) broken after its adjustment. The label is then glued to the rim, - Figure 23-a, - to ensure the tightness of the cap and to consolidate the adjustment.
- La Figure 24-a présente l' étiquette auto-collante (28) qui couvre hermétiquement l' ouverture (27) du oapuchon (2). Sur la Figure 24-b l' étiquette est soulevée et déroulée , - de telle sortequ' on voit la tête (25) positionnée sur le nombre trois. -En recouvrant l' ouverture (27),Figure 27-a,- on bloque aussi par cette étiquette la tête de réglage (25).- Sur la Figure 24-b, on revoit de quelle manière très pratique les chiffres 2,3,4 et 5 sont indiqués sur le bord de l' ouverture (27) du capuchon (2).- Figure 24-a presents the self-adhesive label (28) which hermetically covers the opening (27) of the cap (2). On the Figure 24-b the label is raised and unrolled, - so that one sees the head (25) positioned on the number three. -By covering the opening (27), Figure 27-a, - we also block by this label the adjustment head (25) .- On Figure 24-b, we can see in a very practical way the numbers 2,3 , 4 and 5 are indicated on the edge of the opening (27) of the cap (2).
- La Figure 25 présente une autre variante, dans laquelle c'est un capuchon complémentaire (37) qui réalise à la fois l' étanchéité du capuchon d' origine (2) et la protection de la tige régleuse (15) ,- dont toutes les longueurs de déplacement sont ainsi possibles, sans qu' on puisse casser cette tige involontairement.- Figure 25 presents another variant, in which it is an additional cap (37) which achieves both the sealing of the original cap (2) and the protection of the adjusting rod (15), - all of which displacement lengths are thus possible, without this rod being able to be broken unintentionally.
- La Figure 26 représente une variante de la tige régleuse (15) , - dont les crans de réglage (16) ne servent qu'aux positionnements par le trou central (16-a) du fond (42) du capuchon (2) et c' est aux "saignées" circulaires (46) que la cassure de la tige (15) s' opère. - L'agrandissement du dessin est voulu pour mieux distinguer les détails de la tige (15) ainsi que l'emplacement des signaux (45) sux le cylindre et sur les méplats . - Figure 26 shows a variant of the adjusting rod (15), - whose adjustment notches (16) are only used for positioning by the central hole (16-a) of the bottom (42) of the cap (2) and it is at the circular "grooves" (46) that the break of the rod (15) takes place. - The enlargement of the design is intended to better distinguish the details of the rod (15) as well as the location of the signals (45) on the cylinder and on the flats.
