Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filling nozzle (or fitting) for elements for packaging volumes of seminal fluid or any other product biological, such as for example flakes, cannulas, tubes and catheters.
- Sequins are tubular tanks of animal semen intended for artificial insemination or conditioning of biological fluids, the internal diameter is in particular sufficiently small to allow the maintenance in place the dose by capillary action alone, which simplifies handling in the event that the straw should be used as soon as it is filled, without intermediate storage.
- Existing filling tips or fittings are more particularly intended for filling devices such as flasks, beakers, bottles, etc., but are not suitable for filling tubes, flakes, cannulas, catheters, especially if you wish to leave an area free of any contamination of the filling product, in the case, for example, of closing by welding.
- Patent FR-B-2 680 101 describes disposable and recoverable nozzles used for filling the flakes.
- such devices are not suitable for a unitary filling mode, that is to say a few flakes, or automated, that is to say several flakes without manual replacement of the nozzle.
- US-A-3,343,539 describes a syringe for artificial insemination in which a tube is removably connected to the body, the tube being intended to be disassociated from it.
- the syringe of this patent is not suitable for filling of glitter and cannot avoid pollution in the closed area of the sparkling.
- EP-0 701 865 describes a pipette filling tip. This tip does not have air inlet allowing air entry at the time of the pipetting of the pipette of the nozzle and is not adapted to the filling of flakes either.
- FR-1-2 651 793 describes tubes and flakes for preservation cryogenic biological samples and a method of filling such tubes and flakes.
- the filling device used does not provide guidance for the straw and does not avoid pollution in the area where the straw is closed.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a filling nozzle avoiding pollution in the glitter closure area. Another object of the invention is to provide a filling nozzle. compatible with automatic placement, for example with an automatic filling, or with manual handling (unit filling).
- the present invention provides a nozzle or fitting responding to objects above, characterized in that it consists of a material body plastic with a conical part, male or female, surrounding partially a capillary tube.
- the conical part of the plastic body allows crimping of a sequin.
- the capillary tube is preferably made of a material chosen from stainless steel and plastics.
- the tip advantageously comprises a cylindrical part in the extension of said female conical part.
- said plastic body comprises an input means air, for example a vent or a plurality of channels.
- the male conical part advantageously has a double taper.
- the nozzle or fitting of the present invention consists of a body made of plastic 1 surrounding a capillary tube 2.
- the capillary tube 2 is for example made of stainless steel or of material plastic.
- the tip has a truncated cone shape 3, a cylindrical shape 4 and a air inlet means 6.
- the cylindrical shape 4 allows the guiding of the straw 7 (shown on the Figures 2, 4 and 7 with its plug 7 ') during assembly and extraction, allowing thus to avoid any contact with the capillary and the internal face of the straw so remove any contamination from the liquid in the closing area 5.
- the air inlet means 6 authorizes the entry of air at the time of the trimming of the glitter 7 of the cone 3 to guarantee the unsullied area.
- the air inlet means 6 can be perpendicular or inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle.
- the air inlet means 6 can be a vent ( Figures 1 to 3) or it can be consisting of one or more 6 'channels.
- the plastic body 1 can be molded onto the capillary tube 2.
- the plastic body 1 can also be injected and the capillary tube 2 press fit.
- the tightness is obtained by the adjustment and the length of fitting or gluing.
- the plastic body 1 can also be machined.
- FIG. 6 Another variant of the filling nozzle or fitting of this invention, shown in Figures 6 to 8, is made from a 3 'male cone (and no longer female).
- This cone can be double tapered (part 8) to allow the air inlet at the time of the sequencing of the straw 7 to guarantee the zone of closure 5 not soiled.
- it is necessary to use a tool of guide 9 to serve the flake 7 of the cone 3 '(in the direction of the arrows F) without capillary tube 2 does not come into contact with the interior wall of the straw and stains the closing area 5.
- FIG. 9 Yet another variant of the nozzle or filling connection of the present invention, shown in Figure 9 is that it is made in two parts.
- the filling and closing of a straw are carried out in a known manner, the end 2a of the capillary tube 2 being immersed in the biological product of which wishes to fill the straw, and the end 7b of the straw 7 being connected to a source of depression.
- the closure of the straw is carried out in a manner known per se.
- Those skilled in the art may refer in this regard to FR-B-2 680 101 cited above.
