Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une paillette pour la conservation de petites quantités de substances, notamment des substances biologiques, en particulier des liquides biologiques.The present invention relates to a straw for the preservation of small quantities of substances, in particular biological substances, in particular biological fluids.
Ce type de paillette, connue sous la dénomination de "paillette française", a été divulgué pour la première fois dans le Brevet Français N° 995 878.This type of glitter, known under the name of "French glitter", was disclosed for the first time in French Patent N ° 995,878.
Les paillettes utilisées jusqu'à présent comprennent un bouchon tripartite constitué par deux tampons d'une substance fibreuse enserrant une poudre susceptible de se transformer au contact d'un liquide en une pâte ou gel imperméable adhérant à la paroi du tube en créant un bouchon étanche.The flakes used so far include a tripartite cap consisting of two pads of a fibrous substance enclosing a powder capable to transform on contact with a liquid into an impermeable paste or gel adhering to the wall of the tube by creating a tight stopper.
Les paillettes à bouchon tripartite mises au point et commercialisées par la Demanderesse donnent toute satisfaction. Néanmoins, une certaine absorption de liquide contenu dans la paillette a pu être constatée, quoique très faible.The tripartite plug flakes developed and marketed by the Plaintiff give all satisfaction. However, some absorption of liquid contained in the glitter could be noted, although very weak.
Il existe des paillettes de différents diamètres. Pour des paillettes de grand diamètre, par exemple, 3,7 mm, le bouchon tripartite aura une taille plus importante et l'absorption y sera d'autant plus conséquente. Il est donc souhaitable de ne pas utiliser un bouchon plus important pour une paillette de plus grand diamètre.There are glitter of different diameters. For large sequins diameter, for example, 3.7 mm, the tripartite plug will have a larger size and absorption will be all the more substantial. It is therefore desirable not to use a larger cap for a larger diameter flake.
Par ailleurs, pour des raisons économiques évidentes dans la production, il serait en général avantageux de pouvoir utiliser des bouchons de tailles similaires pour des paillettes de différents diamètres, ceci quelle que soit la nature du bouchon.Furthermore, for obvious economic reasons in production, it would be generally advantageous to be able to use caps of similar sizes for flakes of different diameters, regardless of the nature of the stopper.
Un objet de l'invention est de fournir une paillette comportant un dispositif permettant d'utiliser un bouchon de même taille quel que soit le diamètre de la paillette.An object of the invention is to provide a straw comprising a device allowing the use of a plug of the same size regardless of the diameter of the glitter.
D'autres objets et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description ci-après.Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description below.
Une paillette pour la conservation d'une petite quantité de substance biologique est décrit dans le Brevet Français N°1488345.A straw for the conservation of a small quantity of substance organic is described in French Patent N ° 1488345.
L'invention concerne une paillette pour la conservation d'une petite quantité de substance biologique, se composant d'un segment de tube muni à l'intérieur de l'une de ses extrémités d'un insert percé d'un orifice sensiblement coaxial, caractérisée en ce qu'un bouchon est logé dans cet insert.The invention relates to a straw for the preservation of a small amount of biological substance, consisting of a segment of tube fitted inside one of its ends of an insert pierced with a substantially coaxial orifice, characterized in that that a plug is housed in this insert.
L'insert est habituellement en un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux élastomères, les matériaux thermoplastiques et les matériaux élastomères thermoplastiques. Il peut également être en métal ou en tout autre matériau approprié.The insert is usually made of a material chosen from the materials elastomers, thermoplastic materials and elastomeric materials thermoplastics. It can also be made of metal or any other suitable material.
Le bouchon peut être tripartite, monobloc ou bien d'une autre constitution. The plug can be tripartite, monobloc or of another constitution.
L'extrémité de la paillette ne comportant pas l'insert selon l'invention, demeure normalement ouverte pour l'introduction du produit à conserver, qui est généralement un liquide.The end of the straw does not include the insert according to the invention, normally remains open for the introduction of the product to be stored, which is usually a liquid.
Pour mettre le produit chargé à l'abri de toute contamination, l'extrémité ouverte est obturée, par exemple par soudage, notamment aux ultrasons ou thermique, ou toute autre technique appropriée connue de l'homme de l'art.To protect the loaded product from contamination, the open end is closed, for example by welding, in particular at ultrasonic or thermal, or any other suitable technique known to man art.
Il est par ailleurs avantageux de pouvoir marquer les paillettes par "code couleur" sans avoir à recourir à des paillettes colorées. Ceci peut être effectué selon la présente invention en choisissant un insert en un matériau thermoplastique coloré ou en matériau élastomère thermoplastique coloré.It is also advantageous to be able to mark the glitter by "color code" without having to resort to colored glitter. This can be made according to the present invention by choosing an insert made of a material colored thermoplastic or colored thermoplastic elastomer material.
L'insert étant destiné à recevoir un bouchon, le diamètre de l'orifice intérieur de l'insert est habituellement compris entre environ 1,6 mm et environ 2,5 mm, mais pas exclusivement.The insert being intended to receive a plug, the diameter of the orifice inside of the insert is usually between about 1.6 mm and about 2.5 mm, but not exclusively.
L'invention sera à présent illustrée de façon non limitative en référence à la Figure 1 annexée, laquelle est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un mode de réalisation d'une paillette selon l'invention.The invention will now be illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in reference to Figure 1 attached, which is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of a straw according to the invention.
Dans la Figure 1, la paillette 1 est constituée d'un segment de tube 2
muni de l'insert 3 percé d'un orifice sensiblement coaxial 4, dans lequel est venu
se loger un bouchon tripartite 5. Le bouchon tripartie 5 est constitué de poudre 7
entre deux couches de coton 6.In Figure 1, the flake 1 consists of a tube segment 2
provided with the
L'homme de l'art comprendra que bien que l'invention ait été décrite et illustrée pour des modes de réalisation particuliers, de nombreuses variantes peuvent être envisagées tout en restant dans le cadre de l'invention tel que défini dans les revendications annexées. En particulier, le bouchon éventuellement logé dans l'insert peut être différent d'un bouchon tripartite. Par exemple, le bouchon peut être en fibre pleine microporeuse, comme décrit dans la demande de brevet en instance de la Demanderesse FR-A-97 04896.Those skilled in the art will understand that although the invention has been described and illustrated for particular embodiments, many variants can be envisaged while remaining within the framework of the invention as defined in the appended claims. In particular, the plug housed in the insert may be different from a tripartite plug. For example, the cap can be made of microporous solid fiber, as described in the request Patent pending from the Applicant FR-A-97 04896.
