Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement to a pipette for sampling and dispensing adjustable volumes of liquids.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an improvement to a pipette of the type comprising a pipette body elongated along a longitudinal axis and a piston mounted in translation along this axis inside said pipette body to define a chamber of variable volume opening onto a sampling port, the piston being driven on a limited stroke in the direction of the sampling port by means of a pressure exerted manually on a push rod mounted in translation in the pipette body and in the opposite direction by reaction of means of elastic return until it abuts against an axial end of a metal sleeve extending inside the pipette body along said longitudinal axis.
  • the sleeve is externally threaded and cooperates by screwing with an internal thread of the pipette body so as to move longitudinally when rotated, in order to adjust the stroke in the opposite direction of the piston and the volume of the chamber.
  • the sheath is able to be driven in rotation by a fine adjustment wheel secured thereto and meshes with means for displaying the volume to be dispensed.
  • the push rod is mounted in translation in the sleeve.

  • the fine adjustment wheel allows precise adjustment of the volume to be dispensed but in return can only be driven, with each action of the thumb and forefinger, on a limited angle of rotation linked to the width of the windows provided on the pipette body.
  • the present invention relates to an improved pipette, overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks, in particular which is easily adjustable by an operator wearing gloves and presents a possibility of rapid adjustment of the volume to be dispensed.
  • the push rod has on a part at least of its length a non-symmetrical section of revolution, and the sleeve is made integral, by means of attachment, with a sleeve coaxial with the sleeve and in which the part of non-symmetrical section of revolution of the push rod is also engaged, the sleeve having an internal section of complementary or homologous profile of said part of push rod so as to secure in rotation the push rod and the sleeve for rapid adjustment of the volume to be dispensed, while allowing longitudinal movement of the push rod inside the sleeve.
  • the sleeve is glued inside the sheath.
  • the sleeve is received in a bore opening on the axial end of the sleeve serving as a stop for limiting the stroke in the opposite direction of the piston, the radially external surface of the sleeve having recesses for accommodating an adhesive. fixing in the bore of the sleeve.
  • the push rod has a part situated outside the pipette body provided with a push button comprising a quick adjustment wheel provided with means for securing in rotation with said push rod and a cover mounted free to rotate about said longitudinal axis, covering the axial end edge of the wheel located opposite the pipette body.
