Definitions

  • the invention relates to sampling pipettes of liquid samples.
  • pipette comprising a body and an ejector arm mobile to slide along the body to separate from the pipette a cone attached to friction in the lower part of it.
  • the pipette has a command button ejector for lowering the arm by a press the button.
  • the ejector button extends back from the pipette in its middle central plane of symmetry. Gold, such a position may be uncomfortable long to operate the button.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a pipette making the control of the ejector more comfortable.
  • a sampling pipette comprising a body, an arm moving in relation to the following body a longitudinal direction to eject a fixed cone to the body and a button to control the movement of the arm, the pipette being arranged so that the button is mobile in relation to the body in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction by being able to occupy any position among a beach continued positions in this plan and allowing to control the movement of the arm in said position any.
  • the user can choose the position of the button that suits him best. This choice can be do not just between left positions and right according to the hand holding the pipette but in besides this choice can be made among an infinite number of positions at the choice of the user. The user can therefore at will to adapt the pipette for a handling comfortable.
  • the pipette according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 is a channel sampling pipette unique, many aspects of which are known in themselves and will not be described here in detail.
  • the pipette comprises a rod 4 of axis 10 surmounted by a picking command button 6, controlling the sliding movement of a piston along the axis 10 in a lower cavity of the pipette for the aspiration of a liquid sample in this cavity or its expulsion out of it.
  • the lower tip of the pipette is suitable for receive frictionally attached a disposable cone through which the sampled liquid transits.
  • the pipette comprises means for adjusting the volume to be sampled, which can to be of a classic type.
  • the pipette has an ejector mechanism allowing to push the cone following the direction longitudinal down, to separate it from the pipette.
  • the bottom part of this mechanism is known in itself. We will describe only its upper part.
  • the mechanism has a top cover 12, a command button ejector 14, a pivot cover 16, a spring 18 and a actuator 20.
  • the top cover 12 has a side face cylindrical 22 and a planar upper circular face 24.
  • the upper face is surmounted at its center by a finger 26 received in an orifice of the body 2 and maintained in place with a washer. With this finger, the hood 12 is rotatable relative to the body 2 around of a vertical axis 28 parallel to the axis 10, and fixed to sliding relative to the body.
  • the button 14 has an actuating part flattened 30, one leg 32 extending laterally parallel to the actuating portion and a shaft 34 perpendicular to the leg and emerging on each side of it.
  • the shaft is rotatably received in the hood 12.
  • the button is articulated to the hood around a horizontal axis 36 perpendicular to the axes 10 and 28 and secant with the axis 28.
  • the wall 22 of the hood has a notch 37 in which extends the leg 32 of the button when it is in horizontal position. The hood is open towards the low.
  • the pivot cover 16 comprises a cylindrical wall 38 open up and a flat bottom wall circular 40 projecting from which extends towards the down a finger 42.
  • the cover 12 extends into the pivot cover 16 with their lateral faces 22 and 38 facing each other.
  • the wall 38 has a notch 39 all over its placed in coincidence with the notch 37 of the hood, and traversed by the leg 32.
  • the pivot cover 16 is movable to slide relative to the hood 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 to the center of wall 44.
  • the end lower finger is enlarged to block the translation of the pivot cover 16 with respect to the actuator 20 along the axis 28.
  • the pivot cover 16 is therefore rotatable with respect to the actuator around the axis 28. It's down support on the wall 44 of the actuator.
  • the actuator 20 has a flange 46 in "U" extending at the edge of the wall 44, back, left and right of it, and in protruding upwards from the wall 44.
  • the flange has notches 48, for example at number of three as illustrated, or five, the collar down. One of the notches extends in the middle at the back. The other two extend respectively to the left and right of the wall 44.
  • the leg 32 is supported on the flange 46 and can enter one of the notches 48.
  • the spring 18 is housed in the actuator 20, as illustrated in Figures 4 to 7. He is supported by his lower end on the body 2 and by his upper end under the wall 44 to solicit the actuator up.
  • the actuator 20 is movable to sliding in the body 2 along the axis 28. It is rigidly connected to a lower rod illustrated to contact the cone to be ejected.
  • the button 14 is rotatable relative to the body 2 around axis 28, that is, in a plane perpendicular to axis 28. It can be move on either side of its median position back on 80 ° on each side.
  • the left ends and right of these deflections, illustrated in the figures 11 and 12, correspond to the receipt of branch 32 in the notches 48 laterals.
  • button 14, the top cover 12 and the pivot cover 16 move in one block in rotation about the axis 28.
  • the actuator 20 remains fixed.
  • the button can be placed in a position any of the range of deflection of 160 °, in outside the notches or in these.
  • the button can be pressed down by the user on part 30.
  • This action leads to the knob rotated around the horizontal axis 36, this 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 by sliding on it in a plane radial to the axis 28.
  • the top cover 12 remains motionless. The descent of the actuator allows the ejection of the cone. Therefore, the cone can be ejected whatever the position of the button around the axis 28, in particular with the button to the left, to the right or back of the pipette.
  • the two movements that come to be described can be combined at leisure during the moving the button.
  • the user can freely choose the position of the button at rest and its position during the ejection movement of a cone.
  • this mechanism provides a great freedom of movement and positioning of the button while being of a relatively simple constitution. It is easy to manufacture and assemble.
  • the sliding fulcrum button 14 on the actuator 20 extends between the part 30 actuation and the shaft 34, the button serves lever reducing the effort required to eject the cone.
  • the notches 48 constitute locating means preferred positions of the button on the collar (here back, left and right).
  • the characteristics can be implemented relating to the sliding support of the button on the actuator during the ejection, independently of those relating to the mobility of the button relative to the body in a plane perpendicular to the direction 10.
