Description

La présente invention concerne un sachet de conditionnement de semence animale.The present invention relates to a seed packaging sachet animal.

Le sachet peut être utilisé notamment pour le conditionnement de semence des espèces porcines et équines mais également d'autres espèces comme les rhinocéros.The bag can be used in particular for seed packaging pig and equine species but also other species such as rhinoceros.

Le sachet de la présente invention est particulièrement adapté à une utilisation avec un dispositif d'insémination télescopique.The sachet of the present invention is particularly suitable for use with a telescopic insemination device.

La présente invention concerne un sachet de conditionnement de liquide pour l'insémination artificielle animale, en particulier pour les espèces porcines et équines.The present invention relates to a liquid packaging sachet for artificial animal insemination, in particular for porcine and equine species.

Ce type de sachet, dénommé également sachet-dose, est bien connu dans la technique et a fait l'objet notamment des FR-B-2 667 504 et FR-A-2 750 399.This type of sachet, also known as sachet-dose, is well known in the technical and was the subject in particular of FR-B-2 667 504 and FR-A-2 750 399.

Le sachet de conditionnement de substances liquides pour l'insémination artificielle animale selon FR-B-2 667 504 est constitué de deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique soudées par un cordon de soudure délimitant une poche, suivant un tracé fermé de forme générale rectangulaire définissant deux petits côtés et deux grands côtés lorsque le sachet est vide, et dont l'un desdits petits côtés présente une interruption, le cordon de soudure déterminant en partant de ladite interruption un conduit de remplissage.The packaging bag for liquid substances for insemination artificial animal according to FR-B-2 667 504 consists of two sheets of material thermoplastic welded by a weld bead delimiting a pocket, according to a generally rectangular closed path defining two short sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, and one of the short sides of which has a interruption, the weld bead determining from said interruption a filling pipe.

Les sachets décrits dans cette référence permettent un remplissage volumétrique rapide, à l'abri de l'air et des contaminations, ainsi que l'accouplement du sachet et du tube ou de la sonde avant l'insémination avec un maintien et une étanchéité assurés de manière fiable et un vidage naturel du sachet complet à l'abri de l'air et des contaminations, à condition que leur ouverture soit pratiquée correctement. Or des difficultés liées à l'ouverture des sachets sont fréquemment rencontrées qui posent des problèmes lors de leur utilisation.The bags described in this reference allow filling fast volumetric, protected from air and contamination, as well as the coupling of the sachet and tube or probe before insemination with support and tightness guaranteed reliably and natural emptying of the complete bag under cover air and contamination, provided that they are opened correctly. Difficulties linked to the opening of sachets are frequently encountered which cause problems during their use.

Pour une utilisation avec ce type de sachet, qui comporte un conduit de remplissage prolongé habituellement par un cône d'introduction et de centrage, permettant de récupérer ou vider son contenu, on pratique une ouverture dans le sachet à l'endroit dudit conduit, et on insère l'extrémité libre d'une sonde ou d'un tube dans l'ouverture pratiquée.For use with this type of bag, which has a filling usually extended by an insertion and centering cone, allowing to recover or empty its content, an opening is made in the bag at the location of said conduit, and the free end of a probe or tube is inserted in the opening made.

De tels sachets donnent toute satisfaction et sont toujours utilisés. Cependant, des difficultés liées à l'ouverture des sachets, qui posent des problèmes lors de leur utilisation et nécessitent souvent de recourir à un outil ou à un objet, sont toutefois fréquemment rencontrées.Such sachets are very satisfactory and are still used. However, Difficulties related to opening the sachets, which cause problems during their use and often require the use of a tool or object, however frequently encountered.

Pour pallier ces problèmes, la Demanderesse a mis au point un sachet dit "sachet pelable", décrit dans le FR 2 750 399, pouvant être ouvert de façon simple et fiable, sans avoir à utiliser un quelconque outil ou objet. Ce type de sachet est particulièrement bien adapté pour contenir notamment de la semence animale et rencontre un succès grandissant.To overcome these problems, the Applicant has developed a so-called sachet "peelable bag", described in FR 2 750 399, which can be opened simply and reliable, without having to use any tool or object. This type of bag is particularly well suited to contain in particular animal semen and is meeting with growing success.

Par ailleurs, la Demanderesse a développé de nombreux dispositifs d'insémination pour animaux dont le col de l'utérus présente des anneaux cartilagineux difficiles à franchir, notamment les porcins. Le brevet EP-B-0 189 702 de la Demanderesse couvre une sonde gynécologique télescopique pour l'insémination artificielle d'animaux tels que les porcins, constituée d'une gaine protectrice extérieure servant de fourreau à un conduit de transfert télescopique de semence, susceptible de se déplacer axialement par rapport à la gaine. La gaine comporte un embout en saillie traversé par le conduit de transfert.Furthermore, the Applicant has developed numerous devices for insemination of animals whose cervix has rings difficult to cross, especially pigs. EP-B-0 189 702 from the Applicant covers a telescopic gynecological probe for insemination artificial from animals such as pigs, consisting of an outer protective sheath serving as a sheath for a telescopic seed transfer duct, capable of move axially relative to the sheath. The sheath has a protruding tip crossed by the transfer duct.

Poursuivant ses recherches, la Demanderesse a mis au point un sachet particulièrement adapté à une utilisation avec des dispositifs d'insémination ou de transfert d'embryons télescopiques tel celui du brevet EP-B-0 189 702, mais pas uniquement.Continuing her research, the Applicant has developed a sachet particularly suitable for use with insemination devices or transfer of telescopic embryos such as that of patent EP-B-0 189 702, but not only.

Un tel sachet conduit notamment à une précision améliorée dans les opérations d'insémination utilisant un dispositif télescopique et permet de raccorder chacun des deux tubes de diamètre différent du dispositif télescopique, à savoir la gaine protectrice et le conduit de transfert au conduit du sachet.Such a sachet leads in particular to improved precision in the insemination operations using a telescopic device and allows connection each of the two different diameter tubes of the telescopic device, namely the protective sheath and the transfer duct to the bag duct.

La présente invention fournit un sachet de conditionnement de semence animale constitué de deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique délimitant une poche, suivant un tracé fermé de forme générale rectangulaire définissant deux petits côtés et deux grands côtés lorsque le sachet est vide, dans lequel l'un desdits petits côtés présente une interruption prolongée par un conduit de remplissage et définissant dans lesdites feuilles de matière thermoplastique une zone de remplissage, et dans lequel l'autre desdits petits côtés présente une interruption prolongée par un conduit de soutirage et définissant dans lesdites feuilles de matière thermoplastique une zone de soutirage, caractérisé en ce que ledit conduit de soutirage présente deux diamètres différents dont le plus petit est du côté de l'intérieur dudit sachet.The present invention provides a seed packaging sachet animal made up of two sheets of thermoplastic material delimiting a pocket, following a generally rectangular closed path defining two short sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, in which one of said short sides presents a prolonged interruption by a filling duct and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a filling zone, and in which the other of the said short sides has a prolonged interruption by a racking and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a zone of racking, characterized in that said racking pipe has two diameters different, the smallest of which is on the inside of said bag.

Le conduit de soutirage du sachet selon l'invention peut être qualifié de bi-étagé.The bag withdrawal line according to the invention can be described as two-stage.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, au moins une des deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique du sachet selon l'invention possède dans la zone de soutirage une zone de pelabilité.According to a preferred embodiment, at least one of the two sheets of thermoplastic material of the bag according to the invention has in the area of racking a peelable area.

La zone de pelabilité comporte par exemple un matériau de scellage et de pelabilité, tel une cire.The peelable area comprises for example a sealing material and peelability, like a wax.

Le conduit de soutirage peut être prolongé par un évasement, mais ceci n'est pas obligatoire.The tapping duct can be extended by a flare, but this is not not mandatory.

Les deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique présentent avantageusement un décalage l'une par rapport à l'autre dans la zone de soutirage, par exemple d'environ 2 à 3 mm.The two sheets of thermoplastic material advantageously have a offset from each other in the draw-off area, for example around 2 at 3 mm.

L'invention sera décrite à présent plus en détail, mais de façon non limitative, en référence à la Figure 1 annexée qui est une vue de l'ensemble dispositif d'insémination relié à un sachet de conditionnement de substances liquides pour l'insémination artificielle animale adapté à une utilisation avec un dispositif d'insémination télescopique.The invention will now be described in more detail, but without limitation, with reference to Figure 1 attached which is a view of the device assembly of insemination connected to a packaging bag of liquid substances for artificial animal insemination suitable for use with a device telescopic insemination.

La Figure 1 représente un sachet de conditionnement de semence animale 11 selon l'invention, associé à un dispositif télescopique d'insémination 1.Figure 1 shows an animal semen packaging bag 11 according to the invention, associated with a telescopic insemination device 1.

Le sachet 11 est constitué de deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique soudées par un cordon de soudure 13 délimitant une poche 12, suivant un tracé fermé de forme générale rectangulaire aux angles arrondis définissant deux petits côtés et deux grands côtés lorsque le sachet est vide, dans lequel l'un desdits petits côtés présente une interruption 10a, le cordon de soudure déterminant en partant de ladite interruption un conduit de remplissage 14 et définissant dans lesdites feuilles de matière thermoplastique une zone de remplissage 15, et dans lequel l'autre desdits petits côtés présente une interruption 10b, le cordon de soudure déterminant en partant de ladite interruption un conduit de soutirage 16 et définissant dans lesdites feuilles de matière thermoplastique une zone de soutirage 17.The bag 11 consists of two sheets of thermoplastic material welded by a weld bead 13 delimiting a pocket 12, following a closed path generally rectangular in shape with rounded angles defining two short sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, in which one of said short sides has an interruption 10a, the weld bead determining starting from said interruption of a filling duct 14 and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a filling zone 15, and in which the other of said short sides has an interruption 10b, the weld bead determining in starting from said interruption a withdrawal duct 16 and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a withdrawal zone 17.

Selon l'invention, le conduit de soutirage 16 présente deux diamètres différents, D1 et D2, dont le plus petit D1 est du côté de l'intérieur du sachet. According to the invention, the withdrawal pipe 16 has two diameters different, D1 and D2, the smallest of which D1 is on the inside of the bag.

Dans la Figure 1, un dispositif 1 d'insémination artificielle télescopique est raccordé au sachet 11 de l'invention.In Figure 1, a telescopic artificial insemination device 1 is connected to the bag 11 of the invention.

Le dispositif 1 d'insémination artificielle, qui est selon le brevet de la Demanderesse EP-B-0 189 702, comprend une sonde dont le corps de sonde est constitué d'une gaine protectrice extérieure 2 servant de fourreau à un conduit 3 de transfert de substance susceptible de se déplacer axialement par rapport à ladite gaine à l'intérieur de celle-ci et portant un élément constitué d'une tête sphérique 7 munie d'au moins un orifice latéral d'évacuation 8. La gaine comporte un embout 6 en saillie constitué d'un tampon en mousse souple traversé par le conduit télescopique 3.The artificial insemination device 1, which is according to the patent of the Applicant EP-B-0 189 702, comprises a probe whose probe body is consisting of an outer protective sheath 2 serving as a sheath for a conduit 3 of transfer of substance capable of moving axially relative to said sheath inside thereof and carrying an element consisting of a spherical head 7 provided with at least one lateral evacuation orifice 8. The sheath has an end piece 6 in projection made of a flexible foam pad crossed by the telescopic conduit 3.

La gaine protectrice extérieure 2 est sertie de façon étanche et engagée dans le conduit de soutirage bi-étagé 16 et vient buter en 4 au bout de la partie du conduit de soutirage 16 présentant le plus grand diamètre D2.The outer protective sheath 2 is sealed and engaged in the two-stage withdrawal duct 16 and abuts in 4 at the end of the portion of the duct withdrawal 16 having the largest diameter D2.

Ce positionnement assure le maintien de la longueur désirée de l'extrémité du conduit télescopique 3 au-delà du tampon mousse souple 6 de la sonde, lui-même placé dans le col de l'utérus de l'animal.This positioning maintains the desired length of the end of the telescopic conduit 3 beyond the flexible foam pad 6 of the probe, itself placed in the cervix of the animal.

Le conduit télescopique de transfert 3 est également serti de façon étanche dans le conduit de soutirage bi-étagé 16 et vient se positionner au bout 5 de la partie du conduit de soutirage 16 présentant le plus petit diamètre D1.The telescopic transfer duct 3 is also sealed in the two-stage withdrawal duct 16 and is positioned at the end 5 of the part of the withdrawal duct 16 having the smallest diameter D1.

Ainsi, le tampon mousse souple 6 et la tête sphérique 7 du conduit télescopique 3 sont parfaitement positionnés pendant l'insémination même si la femelle bouge.Thus, the flexible foam pad 6 and the spherical head 7 of the conduit telescopic 3 are perfectly positioned during insemination even if the female moves.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, une des deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique possède dans la partie de soutirage une zone de pelabilité 18 et le conduit de soutirage est prolongé par un évasement 19. L'évasement 19 est défini au moins en partie dans la zone de pelabilité. De plus, comme représenté par un trait interrompu 20, les deux feuilles en matière plastique présentent un décalage l'une par rapport à l'autre, le long du bord de la zone de soutirage 17.In the embodiment shown, one of the two sheets of material thermoplastic has in the withdrawal part a peelable zone 18 and the the withdrawal duct is extended by a flare 19. The flare 19 is defined in less partially in the peelable area. In addition, as represented by a line interrupted 20, the two plastic sheets have an offset one by relative to each other, along the edge of the withdrawal zone 17.

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.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.
