Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a process for making an electrical connection between a thin single-sided conductive plastic strip and a second conductor positioned on the non-conductive side of the band.
- the invention also relates to the connection thus obtained.
- the invention relates more particularly to a method allowing to establish such an electrical connection when contact with a second driver must due to the particular configuration of the device incorporating said connection, by simple press on a portion of the thin plastic strip, on the side of its non-conductive side.
- An electrical connection according to the invention is for example obtained with a second conductor consisting of an elastic metal strip.
- Single-sided thin conductive plastic tapes are increasingly used in devices having a short lifespan, either as such or as a terminal part intended to ensure contact electric with a more conductive thin plastic film large area, but of the same nature. These tapes or films have certain advantages, in particular cost level, compared to conductors of the same dimensions. By an appropriate choice of plastic material, it is indeed possible to obtain a support having mechanical strength, and particularly rigidity and flexibility satisfactory while having a very small thickness. In using a polyamide film (for example Capra® available from Allied Chemical) or polyethylene terephthalate, PET (e.g.
- Hostaphon® available from Hoechst bands with a thickness of of the order of 0.1 to 0.2 mm while having rigidity approximating that of a metal strip the same thickness.
- the application of the conductive coating may be carried out according to known methods, such as screen printing or sputtering, and allows to obtain conductive layers of the order of a micron. It is then possible to use, for the material conductor of noble metals, such as gold, silver, platinum or palladium, without this influencing notably the final cost price. This choice of a metal noble can indeed be made necessary by purpose particular feature of the larger area film, extended by the band used to establish a connection.
- the larger area film constitutes an electrode intended to come into contact with the skin, for example in a delivery device transdermal medication by ontophoresis or electrophoresis.
- the conductive layer constitutes an electrode intended to come into contact with the skin, for example in a delivery device transdermal medication by ontophoresis or electrophoresis.
- tapes or plastic films single-sided conductors do not lend themselves well to deformation pronounced mechanics, such as sharp angle bending, without run the risk of damaging the conductive coating.
- the present invention therefore relates to a method allowing to deform a thin plastic strip, having a conductive coating on one side to establish a non-coated side contact area conductive, without risk of layer breakage conductive.
- the thin conductive plastic strip single-sided is chosen from a thermoformable material, such than the previously mentioned materials (polyamide or PET), and we form a loop by pinching a tab, formed by the terminal part of the strip, between two parallel cylinders positioned respectively on the conductive side and on the non-conductive side, a cylinder at least being heated, and both cylinders being rotated until the cylinder press on the conductive side come and press the non side conductive of the tongue on a portion not strip conductor.
- a thermoformable material such than the previously mentioned materials (polyamide or PET)
- the cylinder applied on the side of the conductive side of the strip will preferably be chosen with a diameter smaller than that of the cylinder applied from side of the non-conductive face.
- the cylinder applied on the side of the non-conductive face is kept fixed, while roll the second cylinder over the first until come and tackle one against the other the two non-conductive portions of the strip: the displacement of pinch line on the surface of the coating driver avoids local overheating and thereby possible deterioration of said coating. It is however possible, depending on the nature of the coating plastic support, the nature of the conductive coating and their respective thicknesses, to maintain fixed the pinch line and roll the cylinder located on the non-conductive side by driving the second cylinder until the two portions of faces not conductive come into contact.
- the two cylinders are removed, and the contact thus formed can be used as that in a connection where a second conductor metal comes to bear on the conductive portion of the end of the strip. It is also possible to keep more firmly pressed against each other the non-conductive portions by interposing a point of glue between said portions.
- one end of the strip 1 constituted by the extension of a larger area 2 is kept pinched along a contact line 9 between two parallel cylinders 10 and 11 positioned respectively on the side of the non-conductive face 3 and of the side of the conductive face 5 of the strip 1 leaving free a portion of strip forming a tongue 7.
- the cylinder 11 applied on the conductive face 5 has a diameter less than cylinder 10 applied to the non-conductive face 3.
- FIG. 2a to 2d schematically represent various process phases in which the cylinder 11 positioned on the conductive face 5 rolls on the cylinder 10.
- the cylinders 10 and 11 are positioned on the strip of such so that their contact line 9 is at a distance of the end 4 of the tongue 7 higher than the circumference of cylinder 10.
- Figure 2b shows a phase of the process in which the cylinder 11 has traversed half the circumference of cylinder 10.
- cylinder 11 has traveled a quarter of a circumference additional and the end 4 of the tongue comes in press on the non-conductive face 3 of the strip 1.
- cylinder 11 completely presses a portion of the tongue 7 on strip 1 by printing a line of inflection on the strip along the contact line 9, thus creating a preload after removal of the two cylinders at the end of process.
- process phase shown in figure 2b it is also possible to add a point of glue on face 3, near cylinder 10, in order to keep more firmly pressed against each other the two non-conductive face portions.
- the tongue 7 may have a length less than that from the previous example.
- Figure 3 shows in section an example of connection obtained between a thin conductive strip single-sided shaped according to the method of the invention and a conductor constituted by an elastic metal strip 15 in the shape of a hook.
- the metal blade 15 constitutes by example a contact of a measuring device contained in a rigid case 17.
- Band 1, including the terminal part is shaped according to the process of the invention, constitutes for example the contact of an electrode extending by a larger area 2 said strip 1, these two parts being cut from the same conductive plastic film monoface, and being held in a frame 19 by suitable means for bringing the end of the metal strip 15 and the conductive face 5 of the portion end of the tongue 7.
- the frame 19 represents by example the element intended to receive a drug in the transdermal delivery device by iontophoresis or electrophoresis, said element being intended to be discarded as soon as the drug supply is used up.
