Definitions
- the invention relates to liquid sample collection pipettes.
- Document EP-0 566 939 discloses a pipette comprising a body and a movable ejector arm sliding along the body for separating from the pipette a cone frictionally fixed in the lower part thereof.
- the pipette has an ejector control button allowing the arm to be lowered by pressing the button.
- the ejector button extends behind the pipette in its median central plane of symmetry. However, such a position can prove to be uncomfortable in the long run for actuating the button.
- An object of the invention is to provide a pipette making it more comfortable to control the ejector.
- a sampling pipette comprising a body, an arm movable relative to the body in a longitudinal direction to eject a cone fixed to the body and a button for controlling the movement of the arm , the pipette being arranged so that the button is movable relative to the body in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, being able to occupy any position from a continuous range of positions in this plane and allowing control of the movement of the arm in said any position.
- the user can choose the position of the button that suits him best. This choice can be made not only between left positions and right depending on the hand holding the pipette, but in addition this choice can be made from an infinite number of positions at the user's choice. The user can therefore adapt the pipette at will for comfortable handling.
- the button is mounted movable in rotation relative to the body in said plane; - The button is arranged to carry out a sliding support on the arm during the movement of the button in said plane;
- the pipette comprises means for locating at least one predetermined position of the button with respect to the body from among said range;
- the button is arranged to carry out a sliding support on the arm during the movement of the arm when the button occupies the same position in said range;
- the button is mounted movable in rotation relative to the body about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction;
- the pipette comprises an intermediate piece mounted movable in rotation relative to the body about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction, the button being mounted movable in rotation relative to the intermediate piece around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction;
- the button is directly connected to the intermediate piece;
- the intermediate part is mounted movable in rotation relative to the arm about the axis parallel to the longitudinal direction;
- the intermediate piece is directly connected to the body;
- the pipette comprises a movable connecting piece relative to the body along an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction, the button being movable relative to this piece through an opening of this piece;
- the connecting piece is movable in rotation relative to the arm about the axis parallel to the longitudinal direction;
- the connecting piece is movable in rotation relative to the intermediate piece around the axis parallel to the longitudinal direction;
- the connecting piece is directly connected to the arm.
- FIG. 1 is a partial view in vertical axial section of the upper part of a pipette according to the invention
- FIG. 1 is a partial right view of the pipette of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the upper part of the ejector mechanism of the pipette of Figure 1;
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are two views similar to Figure 1 respectively showing the high and low positions of the ejector;
- - Figure 6 is a vertical axial sectional view along the plane VI-VI of the pipette of Figure 4;
- FIG. 7 is a view similar to Figure 6 showing the ejector in the low position;
- - Figure 8 is a top view of the pipette of Figure 1;
- FIG. 9 is a horizontal sectional view along the plane IX-IX of the pipette of Figure 4.
- FIG. 10 is a partial view of the pipette similar to Figure 8 showing the angular movement of the ejector button in a horizontal plane;
- Figures 11 and 12 are two views similar to Figure 10 illustrating two extreme left and right positions of the button.
- the pipette according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 is a single-channel sampling pipette, many aspects of which are known in themselves and will not be described here in detail.
- the pipette comprises a rod 4 with an axis 10 surmounted by a sampling control button 6, controlling the sliding movement of a piston along the axis 10 in a lower cavity of the pipette for the suction of a sample of liquid in this cavity or its expulsion from it.
- the lower tip of the pipette is capable of receiving frictionally a disposable cone through which the withdrawn liquid passes.
- the pipette includes means for adjusting the volume to be sampled, which can be of a conventional type.
- the pipette has an ejector mechanism allowing the cone to be pushed in the direction downwards to separate it from the pipette.
- the lower part of this mechanism is known per se. We will only describe its upper part.
- the mechanism comprises an upper cover 12, an ejector control button 14, a pivot cover 16, a spring 18 and an actuator 20.
- the upper cover 12 has a cylindrical lateral face 22 and an upper planar circular face 24.
- the upper face is surmounted in its center by a finger 26 received in an orifice in the body 2 and held in place by a washer. Thanks to this finger, the cover 12 is movable in rotation relative to the body 2 about a vertical axis 28 parallel to the axis 10, and fixed to slide relative to the body.
- the button 14 comprises a flattened actuation part 30, a leg 32 extending laterally parallel to the actuation part and a shaft 34 perpendicular to the leg and emerging from each side thereof.
- the shaft is rotatably received in the upper cover 12.
- the button is thus articulated to the cover around a horizontal axis 36 perpendicular to the vertical axes 10 and 28 and intersecting with the axis 28.
- the side wall 22 of the cover has a notch 37 in which the leg 32 of the button extends when it is in a horizontal position.
- the hood is open down.
- the pivot cover 16 comprises a cylindrical wall 38 open upwards and a circular flat bottom wall 40 projecting from which extends a finger 42 downwards.
- the cover 12 extends in the pivot cover 16 with their faces side 22 and 38 opposite.
- the wall 38 has a notch 39 over its entire height placed in coincidence with the notch 37 of the cover, and crossed by the leg 32.
- the pivot cover 16 is movable by sliding relative to the cover 12 along the axis 28.
- the actuator 20 has in the upper part a flat wall 44 indented from its front edge to its center. This notch receives the finger 42 extending at the center of the wall 44. The lower end of the finger is widened to block the translation of the pivot cover 16 relative to the actuator 20 along the axis 28. The pivot cover 16 is therefore movable in rotation relative to the actuator about the axis 28. It bears down on the wall 44 of the actuator.
- the actuator 20 has a flange 46 in a "U" shape extending at the edge of the wall 44, behind, to the left and to the right of the latter, and projecting upwards relative to the wall 44.
- the flange has notches 48, for example three in number as illustrated, or five, starting the flange downwards. One of the notches extends in the middle at the back. The other two extend respectively to the left and to the right of the wall 44.
- the leg 32 bears on the collar 46 and can penetrate one of the notches 48.
- the spring 18 is housed in the actuator 20, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 7. It is supported by its lower end on the body 2 and by its upper end under the wall 44 to urge the actuator upwards.
- the actuator 20 is movable by sliding in the body 2 along the axis 28. It is rigidly connected to a lower rod, not shown, intended to contact the cone to be ejected.
- the button 14 is movable in rotation relative to the body 2 around the axis 28, that is to say in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the axis 28. It can move on either side of its rear middle position by 80 ° on each side.
- the left and right ends of these deflections, illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12, correspond to the reception of the branch 32 in the lateral notches 48.
- the button 14, the upper cover 12 and the pivot cover 16 move in one piece in rotation about the axis 28.
- the actuator 20 remains fixed.
- the button can be placed in any position among the 160 ° travel range, outside or in the notches.
- the button can be actuated downwards by the user on the part 30.
- This action causes the button to rotate around the horizontal axis 36, which causes the vertical sliding along the axis 28 of the pivot cover 16 and the actuator 20.
- the leg 32 presses on the same point of the flange 46 in sliding thereon in a plane radial to the axis 28.
- the upper cover 12 remains stationary. The descent of the actuator allows the cone to be ejected. Therefore, the cone can be ejected regardless of the position of the button around the axis 28, in particular with the button on the left, right or behind the pipette.
- the two movements which have just been described can be combined at leisure when the button is moved.
- the user can freely choose the position of the button at rest and its position during the ejection movement of a cone.
- the button acts as a lever reducing the effort required to eject the cone.
- the notches 48 constitute means for locating preferred positions of the button on the collar (here rear, left and right).
- the characteristics relating to the sliding support of the button on the actuator may be implemented during ejection, independently of those relating to the mobility of the button relative to the body in a plane perpendicular to the direction 10.
