Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new type of safety tip, in particular ear and a push button provided with a cannula and such a tip.
- the product to be administered is often a liquid medium frequently containing an active substance. It is generally present as a solution or suspension that can be pressurized through a spray nozzle installed in a nozzle by user pressure on a control head.
- the spray nozzle is placed on the control head, which is itself mounted on a dispenser.
- the spray nozzle usually comprises a spray cap pierced by a single spray orifice.
- the spray orifice is fed with the product to be administered which passes therethrough to escape under pressure.
- the spray cap is often a patch, which serves or contributes to the dispersion of the liquid to spray fine droplets.
- the nozzle is frequently placed at the end of an elongate tube or cannula, especially when a locally accurate administration is desired.
- This pressure can be a problem for example when it is desired to administer the product in a physiological conduit such as the auditory canal of the human. If the tip is introduced into the ear canal and is applied against the inner wall of the duct, the pressure can indeed damage the eardrum because the tip closes the duct and trapped air and the injected product or the air moved can not escape.
- Evacuation channels have therefore been provided.
- a cylindrical or slightly conical tip of limited diameter, smaller than that of the auditory canal was used.
- a conical piece was installed around it, the outer surface of which was that of a cone with a truncated point and internally provided with channels or grooves.
- the outer surface of the conical part is plate completely against the inner wall of the ear canal. The evacuation of the air (or excess liquid) was therefore effected between the outer surface of the conical piece and the tip.
- Such a complex tip includes the flasks used for packaging products for ear hygiene, such as the one sold under the brand AUDISPRAY ® , since 1995.
- the channels can be closed by organic compounds or the drying of the compounds in suspension or solution, and if one is not careful, a spray could for example cause damage to the eardrum.
- the washing of the evacuation channels requires long and delicate operations since the evacuation channels are relatively thin and installed in the mouthpiece.
- One solution is to remove the conical piece to clean it more easily and for example access the grooves which, pressed against the cylindrical or slightly conical tip, constitute the evacuation channels but the size of the tip is such that the operation is nevertheless delicate and it is imperative to put the tip in place for a new use.
- the term "generally tapered shape” designates, for example, a frustoconical shape, possibly frustoconical slightly concave or slightly convex, or barrel-shaped, preferably a frustoconical shape and particularly frustoconical slightly convex.
- the generally tapered shape relates to the entire length of the tip.
- only the outer end of the tip has the generally tapered shape.
- the tip has a cylindrical shape whose outer end is frustoconical.
- the grooves may have a constant width or not, the width being measured transversely on the outer surface of the nozzle.
- the grooves Preferably have a width decreasing towards the outer end of the tip.
- the grooves may have a constant depth or not.
- the grooves Preferably have a decreasing depth towards the outer end of the tip.
- the grooves have a depth and a width decreasing toward the outer end of the tip.
- they may be square, rectangular or preferably round or rounded for reasons of hygiene and manufacturing. Round or round shape, they extend over a sector of about 60 to 120 °, preferably from 75 to 105 °, in particular 90 °. More included in the tip, they are less easy to clean but are not likely to be blocked by surrounding soft tissue during use. More open, they are easier to clean but are better adapted to less soft surrounding tissues, for example when the duct is delimited by a bone or cartilage simply covered with skin and a small thickness of tissue.
- the grooves may be of several longitudinal shapes, for example an arcuate shape and in particular a straight shape.
- the grooves preferably extend over the entire length of the tip but may also extend between the outer end of the tip and only part of the length, for example the middle of said tip.
- the shape of the outer limits of a nozzle according to the invention will be generally circular in cross section. However, given the malleability of the entrance of the physiological ducts as the auditory canal, the shape of the section may for example be oval.
- the physiological channel can be for example a physiological channel of a mammal, for example a pet or a farm animal, preferably a human.
- the physiological channel is for example an anus, preferably an auditory canal. It is advantageously a human auditory canal.
- the outer dimensions of a nozzle according to the invention will preferably be such that the tip may be partially introduced into the physiological conduit for which it is intended, but without being able to be fully inserted therein.
- the depth and shape of the grooves can be adapted to the flexibility of the tissues constituting the physiological channel.
- the diameter of the tip may be 5 to 10 mm from the outer side, introduced first into the ear and 10 to 15 mm from the inner side, for a cone length of 5 mm to 20 mm.
- the present application also relates to a method of manufacturing a tip above characterized in that one shapes a plastic material to make a tip above.
- the tips object of the present invention have very interesting qualities. Installed on a control head mounted on a liquid product dispenser, they allow in particular the injected liquid, and possibly the air trapped in the ear cavity to escape, when the product is administered via the tip inserted partly into a physiological conduit as the ear canal, while the tip has partially closed the latter.
- the geometry of the grooves makes it possible to obtain this result.
- the washing of the evacuation channels is very simple since the evacuation channels are accessible outside the mouthpiece. A visual check of cleanliness and hygiene is also easy.
- an insert can be dangerous because it can be removed, thus depriving the push button of its protection against the risks due to pressure.
- a patch is useless to form evacuation channels. Its manufacture is simple since the control button and its tip can be made in one piece, being remembered that generally the lid is an insert, inserted into the nozzle. If a control button and its tip can be made in one piece, nothing prevents however to provide a tip according to the invention, hollow to be adapted on a cylindrical end for example and the benefit of external evacuation channels. Such a tip can indeed be autonomous, in that it can be for example fitted at the end of a cannula. But unlike those of the prior art, they can be arranged to be firmly installed, because their easy disassembly is not necessary for their maintenance.
- a tip characterized in that it is integral with a push button is that it is from the same workpiece, or it can be removed from the push button by a simple manual action, or with difficulty .
- the possibility of making the tip in one piece allows the realization of deeper evacuation channels and generally allowing a better flow than a tip that would be attached to a cannula to form internal channels and yet solid.
- the realization of internal discharge channels of high flow leads, comparable external dimensions of the tip, to the realization of a cannula too small section so fragile .
- the subject of the present application is also a method for injecting a fluid, in particular a liquid, into a human or animal physiological conduit, particularly human, in which a mini injection device of a mouthpiece is used. -above.
- This injection is performed especially for hygiene purposes.
- the present application also relates to a push button with a cannula and a tip above.
- a push button is adaptable in particular on dosing pumps or valves for the administration of pharmaceutical products, hygiene or care.
- the present application therefore finally relates to a box or box containing a sprayer optionally provided with a dosing pump or not, particularly for the administration of pharmaceutical products, hygiene or care, and a push button with a nozzle above.
- FIG. 1 there is a pushbutton 1 comprising a cylindrical sleeve 2, upwards of which is installed a cannula 3 traversed by an axial channel, at the external end (that is to say the end opposite the sleeve) of which a tip 4 is installed.
- This tip 4 has a generally frustoconical shape (cylindroconic), the tip is directed outwards.
- grooves 5 are formed longitudinally, which makes them directly accessible to a washing operation.
- the tip 4 is in the version shown here a hollow insert, installed at the swollen cylindrical end 3E of the cannula 3.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 elements similar to those observed in FIG. 2 can be observed.
- the frustoconical shape of the tip 4 has however been modified.
- the tip of Figure 3 is in the form of ogive while that of Figure 4 has a barrel shape.
- FIG. 5 one can observe on the one hand the ogival shape of a tip model according to the invention, and on the other hand the longitudinal shape of the channels. These channels are narrow (about 0.5 mm wide) and have a constant width from the outer end to the inner end of the tip. In Figure 6, the grooves are not longitudinal but arcuate.
- FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 illustrate one-piece endpieces made in one piece, in particular with the cannula 3 but also the sleeve 2.
- the spray nozzle here comprises an insert 6 installed in a spray chamber.
- the end of the nozzle comprises a spray orifice 7.
- the axial channel runs at right angles and can be fitted on the stem of a valve or pump.
- the outer surface of the tip 1 is about a circle in any plane perpendicular to its axis, which is also the axis of the cannula 3.
- the four grooves 5 are rounded, arcuate. They each extend over a sector of about 90 ° of arc.
- Such a tip is extremely easy to clean, low cost and remarkable simplicity.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau type d'embout de sécurité, notamment auriculaire et un bouton poussoir muni d'une canule et d'un tel embout.The present invention relates to a new type of safety tip, in particular ear and a push button provided with a cannula and such a tip.
Il est connu de distribuer de nombreux produits de soin ou d'hygiène sous forme pulvérisée. On utilise fréquemment dans ce but des vaporisateurs manuels. Le produit à administrer est souvent un milieu liquide contenant fréquemment une substance active. Il est généralement présent sous forme de solution ou de suspension qui peut être expulsée sous pression à travers une buse de pulvérisation installée dans un embout grâce à une pression de l'utilisateur sur une tête de commande.It is known to distribute many care products or hygiene in spray form. For this purpose, manual vaporizers are frequently used. The product to be administered is often a liquid medium frequently containing an active substance. It is generally present as a solution or suspension that can be pressurized through a spray nozzle installed in a nozzle by user pressure on a control head.
Généralement, la buse de pulvérisation est placée sur la tête de commande, qui est elle-même montée sur un distributeur.Generally, the spray nozzle is placed on the control head, which is itself mounted on a dispenser.
La buse de pulvérisation comprend habituellement un opercule de pulvérisation percé d'un orifice unique de pulvérisation. L'orifice de pulvérisation est alimenté par le produit à administrer qui le traverse pour s'échapper sous pression. L'opercule de pulvérisation est souvent une pièce rapportée, qui sert ou contribue à la dispersion du liquide pour le pulvériser en fines gouttelettes. La buse est fréquemment placée à l'extrémité d'un tube allongé ou canule, notamment lorsque l'on recherche une administration localement précise.The spray nozzle usually comprises a spray cap pierced by a single spray orifice. The spray orifice is fed with the product to be administered which passes therethrough to escape under pressure. The spray cap is often a patch, which serves or contributes to the dispersion of the liquid to spray fine droplets. The nozzle is frequently placed at the end of an elongate tube or cannula, especially when a locally accurate administration is desired.
Cette pression peut être un problème par exemple lorsque l'on veut administrer le produit dans un conduit physiologique comme le conduit auditif de l'homme. Si l'embout est introduit dans le conduit auditif et est appliqué contre la paroi interne du conduit, la pression peut en effet endommager le tympan car l'embout ferme le conduit et l'air emprisonné et le produit injecté ou l'air déplacé ne peuvent pas s'échapper.This pressure can be a problem for example when it is desired to administer the product in a physiological conduit such as the auditory canal of the human. If the tip is introduced into the ear canal and is applied against the inner wall of the duct, the pressure can indeed damage the eardrum because the tip closes the duct and trapped air and the injected product or the air moved can not escape.
On a donc prévu des canaux d'évacuation. Pour cela, on a utilisé un embout cylindrique ou légèrement conique de diamètre limité, inférieur à celui du conduit auditif. On a installé autour de celui-ci une pièce conique dont la surface extérieure était celle d'un cône à pointe tronquée et intérieurement munie de canaux ou rainures. La surface extérieure de la pièce conique se plaque totalement contre la paroi interne du conduit auditif. L'évacuation de l'air (ou de liquide en excès) s'opérait donc entre la surface externe de la pièce conique et l'embout.Evacuation channels have therefore been provided. For this purpose, a cylindrical or slightly conical tip of limited diameter, smaller than that of the auditory canal, was used. A conical piece was installed around it, the outer surface of which was that of a cone with a truncated point and internally provided with channels or grooves. The outer surface of the conical part is plate completely against the inner wall of the ear canal. The evacuation of the air (or excess liquid) was therefore effected between the outer surface of the conical piece and the tip.
Un tel embout complexe équipe notamment les flacons utilisés pour le conditionnement de produits pour l'hygiène de l'oreille, comme celui commercialisé sous la marque AUDISPRAY®, depuis 1995.Such a complex tip includes the flasks used for packaging products for ear hygiene, such as the one sold under the brand AUDISPRAY ® , since 1995.
Mais ces embouts sont facilement amovibles pour aider à leur entretien, ce qui présente le risque que l'utilisateur le retire et utilise un bouton poussoir sans protection contre les risques de surpression.But these tips are easily removable to help their maintenance, which presents the risk that the user removes and uses a push button without protection against the risk of overpressure.
De plus, il est nécessaire de fabriquer d'une part un bouton poussoir et d'autre part l'embout puis de les assembler ce qui représente une perte en terme de coût et de temps.In addition, it is necessary to manufacture on the one hand a push button and on the other hand the end piece and assemble them which represents a loss in terms of cost and time.
Par ailleurs le lavage soigneux des canaux d'évacuation est important. En effet, en plus des aspects hygiéniques, les canaux peuvent être obturés par des composés organiques ou le séchage des composés en suspension ou solution, et si l'on ne prend pas garde, une pulvérisation pourrait par exemple provoquer des dommages au tympan. Or, le lavage des canaux d'évacuation nécessite des opérations longues et délicates puisque les canaux d'évacuation sont relativement fins et installés dans l'embout. Une solution consiste à ôter la pièce conique pour la nettoyer plus facilement et par exemple accéder aux rainures qui, plaquées contre l'embout cylindrique ou légèrement conique, constituent les canaux d'évacuation mais la taille de l'embout est telle que l'opération se révèle néanmoins délicate et il est impératif de remettre l'embout en place en vue d'une nouvelle utilisation.In addition, careful washing of the evacuation channels is important. Indeed, in addition to the hygienic aspects, the channels can be closed by organic compounds or the drying of the compounds in suspension or solution, and if one is not careful, a spray could for example cause damage to the eardrum. However, the washing of the evacuation channels requires long and delicate operations since the evacuation channels are relatively thin and installed in the mouthpiece. One solution is to remove the conical piece to clean it more easily and for example access the grooves which, pressed against the cylindrical or slightly conical tip, constitute the evacuation channels but the size of the tip is such that the operation is nevertheless delicate and it is imperative to put the tip in place for a new use.
Il serait donc souhaitable de disposer d'embouts notamment auriculaires, entre autres sûrs, faciles à nettoyer, solides et faciles et peu coûteux à fabriquer.It would therefore be desirable to have ear tips including ear, among others safe, easy to clean, strong and easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
Or après de longues recherches la demanderesse a mis au point des embouts simples et donnant satisfaction.But after long research the plaintiff has developed simple tips and giving satisfaction.
C'est pourquoi la présente demande a pour objet un embout de buse de pulvérisation comportant un orifice de pulvérisation, caractérisé en ce que son extrémité externe a une forme généralement fuselée ou comprend une partie de forme généralement fuselée, par exemple conique tronquée, dont la pointe est dirigée vers le sens du jet, l'enveloppe extérieure de la partie fuselée comportant au moins une rainure de profondeur suffisante pour constituer au moins un canal d'évacuation pour un fluide, lorsque ledit embout est inséré dans un canal physiologique animal ou de préférence humain comme un conduit auditif d'un mammifère.This is why the present application relates to a spray nozzle tip having a spray orifice, characterized in that its outer end has a generally tapered shape or comprises a generally tapered portion, for example truncated conical, whose point is directed towards the direction of the jet, the outer casing of the tapered portion having at least one groove of sufficient depth to form at least one discharge channel for a fluid, when said tip is inserted into a physiological channel animal or human preference as an auditory canal of a mammal.
L'embout de la buse est généralement placé à l'extrémité d'un tube allongé. Son extrémité dite externe est celle opposée au tube allongé. La longueur de l'embout est la distance entre le tube allongé et son extrémité externe.The tip of the nozzle is usually placed at the end of an elongate tube. Its so-called outer end is the opposite to the elongate tube. The length of the tip is the distance between the elongated tube and its outer end.
Dans la présente demande et dans ce qui suit, le terme « forme généralement fuselée» désigne par exemple une forme tronconique, éventuellement tronconique légèrement concave ou légèrement convexe, ou en forme de tonneau, de préférence une forme tronconique et particulièrement tronconique légèrement convexe.In the present application and in what follows, the term "generally tapered shape" designates, for example, a frustoconical shape, possibly frustoconical slightly concave or slightly convex, or barrel-shaped, preferably a frustoconical shape and particularly frustoconical slightly convex.
Dans des conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, la forme généralement fuselée concerne la totalité de la longueur de l'embout.In preferred conditions of implementation of the invention, the generally tapered shape relates to the entire length of the tip.
Dans d'autres conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, seule l'extrémité externe de l'embout possède la forme généralement fuselée. Notamment, l'embout a une forme cylindrique dont l'extrémité externe est tronconique.In other preferred conditions of implementation of the invention, only the outer end of the tip has the generally tapered shape. In particular, the tip has a cylindrical shape whose outer end is frustoconical.
L'enveloppe extérieure de la partie fuselée comporte au moins une rainure de profondeur suffisante pour constituer au moins un canal d'évacuation pour un fluide, lorsque ledit embout est inséré dans un canal physiologique d'un mammifère comme un conduit auditif et de préférence plusieurs rainures. Elle comportera avantageusement de 2 à 8 rainures, de préférence de 3 à 6 rainures, notamment 4 ou 5 rainures, tout particulièrement 4 rainures.The outer casing of the tapered portion comprises at least one groove of sufficient depth to form at least one discharge channel for a fluid, when said tip is inserted into a physiological channel of a mammal such as an auditory canal and preferably several grooves. It will advantageously comprise from 2 to 8 grooves, preferably from 3 to 6 grooves, in particular 4 or 5 grooves, in particular 4 grooves.
Les rainures peuvent avoir une largeur constante ou non, la largeur étant mesurée transversalement sur la surface extérieure de l'embout. De préférence les rainures ont une largeur diminuant vers l'extrémité externe de l'embout.The grooves may have a constant width or not, the width being measured transversely on the outer surface of the nozzle. Preferably the grooves have a width decreasing towards the outer end of the tip.
De même, les rainures peuvent avoir une profondeur constante ou non. De préférence les rainures ont une profondeur diminuant vers l'extrémité externe de l'embout.Similarly, the grooves may have a constant depth or not. Preferably the grooves have a decreasing depth towards the outer end of the tip.
Avantageusement, les rainures ont une profondeur et une largeur diminuant vers l'extrémité externe de l'embout.Advantageously, the grooves have a depth and a width decreasing toward the outer end of the tip.
En section transversale, elles pourront être de forme carrée, rectangulaire ou de préférence ronde ou arrondie pour des raisons d'hygiène et de fabrication. De forme ronde ou arrondie, elles s'étendent sur un secteur d'environ 60 à 120°, de préférence de 75 à 105°, notamment 90° environ. Plus incluses dans l'embout, elles se nettoient moins facilement mais ne risquent pas d'être obstruées par des tissus environnants très mous lors de leur utilisation. Plus ouvertes, elles se nettoient plus facilement mais sont mieux adaptées à des tissus environnants moins mous, par exemple lorsque le conduit est délimité par un os ou un cartilage recouvert simplement de peau et une faible épaisseur de tissu.In cross section, they may be square, rectangular or preferably round or rounded for reasons of hygiene and manufacturing. Round or round shape, they extend over a sector of about 60 to 120 °, preferably from 75 to 105 °, in particular 90 °. More included in the tip, they are less easy to clean but are not likely to be blocked by surrounding soft tissue during use. More open, they are easier to clean but are better adapted to less soft surrounding tissues, for example when the duct is delimited by a bone or cartilage simply covered with skin and a small thickness of tissue.
Les rainures peuvent être de plusieurs formes longitudinales, par exemple une forme arquée et en particulier une forme droite.The grooves may be of several longitudinal shapes, for example an arcuate shape and in particular a straight shape.
Les rainures s'étendent de préférence sur toute la longueur de l'embout mais peuvent aussi s'étendre entre l'extrémité externe de l'embout et une partie seulement de la longueur, par exemple le milieu dudit embout.The grooves preferably extend over the entire length of the tip but may also extend between the outer end of the tip and only part of the length, for example the middle of said tip.
Généralement la forme des limites extérieures d'un embout selon l'invention, sera globalement circulaire en section transversale. Cependant, compte tenu de la malléabilité de l'entrée des conduits physiologiques comme le conduit auditif, la forme de la section pourra être par exemple ovale.Generally the shape of the outer limits of a nozzle according to the invention will be generally circular in cross section. However, given the malleability of the entrance of the physiological ducts as the auditory canal, the shape of the section may for example be oval.
Le canal physiologique peut être par exemple un canal physiologique d'un mammifère, par exemple d'un animal de compagnie ou d'un animal de ferme, de préférence d'un humain. Le canal physiologique est par exemple un anus, de préférence un conduit auditif. Il s'agit avantageusement d'un conduit auditif humain.The physiological channel can be for example a physiological channel of a mammal, for example a pet or a farm animal, preferably a human. The physiological channel is for example an anus, preferably an auditory canal. It is advantageously a human auditory canal.
Les dimensions extérieures d'un embout selon l'invention, seront de préférence telles que l'embout pourra être introduit partiellement dans le conduit physiologique auquel il est destiné, mais sans pouvoir y être totalement inséré. La profondeur et la forme des rainures pourront être adaptés à la souplesse des tissus constituant le canal physiologique.The outer dimensions of a nozzle according to the invention will preferably be such that the tip may be partially introduced into the physiological conduit for which it is intended, but without being able to be fully inserted therein. The depth and shape of the grooves can be adapted to the flexibility of the tissues constituting the physiological channel.
Par exemple, pour un embout destiné à un conduit auditif humain par exemple généralement conique, de section transversale donc généralement circulaire, le diamètre de l'embout pourra être de 5 à 10 mm du côté externe, introduit en premier dans l'oreille et de 10 à 15 mm du côté interne, pour une longueur du cône de 5 mm à 20 mm.For example, for a tip intended for a human ear canal for example generally conical, of cross section and therefore generally circular, the diameter of the tip may be 5 to 10 mm from the outer side, introduced first into the ear and 10 to 15 mm from the inner side, for a cone length of 5 mm to 20 mm.
Dans une variante de réalisation, un disque peut être installé à l'extrémité externe de l'embout comme illustré ci-après sur les figures.In an alternative embodiment, a disk may be installed at the outer end of the nozzle as illustrated below in the figures.
La présente demande a aussi pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un embout ci-dessus caractérisé en ce que l'on met en forme une matière plastique pour réaliser un embout ci-dessus.The present application also relates to a method of manufacturing a tip above characterized in that one shapes a plastic material to make a tip above.
Les embouts objet de la présente invention possèdent de très intéressantes qualités. Installés sur une tête de commande montée sur un distributeur de produit liquide, ils permettent notamment au liquide injecté, et le cas échéant à l'air emprisonné dans la cavité auriculaire de s'échapper, lorsque le produit est administré par l'intermédiaire de l'embout introduit en partie dans un conduit physiologique comme le conduit auditif, alors que l'embout a obturé partiellement ce dernier. La géométrie des rainures permet d'obtenir ce résultat.The tips object of the present invention have very interesting qualities. Installed on a control head mounted on a liquid product dispenser, they allow in particular the injected liquid, and possibly the air trapped in the ear cavity to escape, when the product is administered via the tip inserted partly into a physiological conduit as the ear canal, while the tip has partially closed the latter. The geometry of the grooves makes it possible to obtain this result.
De plus, le lavage des canaux d'évacuation est très simple puisque les canaux d'évacuation sont accessibles à l'extérieur de l'embout. Un contrôle visuel de propreté et d'hygiène est également aisé.In addition, the washing of the evacuation channels is very simple since the evacuation channels are accessible outside the mouthpiece. A visual check of cleanliness and hygiene is also easy.
En outre, une pièce rapportée peut se révéler dangereuse du fait qu'elle peut être retirée, ce qui prive ainsi le bouton poussoir de sa protection contre les risques dus à la pression.In addition, an insert can be dangerous because it can be removed, thus depriving the push button of its protection against the risks due to pressure.
De plus une pièce rapportée est inutile pour constituer des canaux d'évacuation. Sa fabrication est donc simple puisque le bouton de commande et son embout peuvent être réalisés d'une seule pièce monobloc, étant rappelé que généralement l'opercule est une pièce rapportée, insérée dans la buse. Si un bouton de commande et son embout peuvent être réalisés d'une seule pièce, rien n'empêche cependant de prévoir un embout selon l'invention, creux pour être adapté sur un embout par exemple cylindrique et le faire bénéficier de canaux externes d'évacuation. Un tel embout peut en effet être autonome, en ce sens qu'il peut être par exemple emmanché à l'extrémité d'une canule. Mais à la différence de ceux de l'art antérieur, ils peuvent être agencés pour être installés fermement, du fait que leur démontage facile n'est pas nécessaire à leur entretien.In addition a patch is useless to form evacuation channels. Its manufacture is simple since the control button and its tip can be made in one piece, being remembered that generally the lid is an insert, inserted into the nozzle. If a control button and its tip can be made in one piece, nothing prevents however to provide a tip according to the invention, hollow to be adapted on a cylindrical end for example and the benefit of external evacuation channels. Such a tip can indeed be autonomous, in that it can be for example fitted at the end of a cannula. But unlike those of the prior art, they can be arranged to be firmly installed, because their easy disassembly is not necessary for their maintenance.
Ainsi on préfère un embout caractérisé en ce qu'il est solidaire d'un bouton poussoir soit qu'il est issu de la même pièce de fabrication, soit qu'il ne peut être retiré du bouton poussoir par une simple action manuelle, ou difficilement.Thus preferred is a tip characterized in that it is integral with a push button is that it is from the same workpiece, or it can be removed from the push button by a simple manual action, or with difficulty .
La possibilité de réaliser l'embout d'une seule pièce permet la réalisation de canaux d'évacuation plus profonds et de manière générale permettant un meilleur débit qu'un embout qui serait rapporté sur une canule pour constituer des canaux internes et pourtant solide. Au contraire, dans le cas d'embouts de l'art antérieur, la réalisation de canaux d'évacuation internes de fort débit conduit, à dimensions externes comparables de l'embout, à la réalisation d'une canule de trop faible section donc fragile.The possibility of making the tip in one piece allows the realization of deeper evacuation channels and generally allowing a better flow than a tip that would be attached to a cannula to form internal channels and yet solid. On the contrary, in the case of nozzles of the prior art, the realization of internal discharge channels of high flow leads, comparable external dimensions of the tip, to the realization of a cannula too small section so fragile .
Ces qualités sont illustrées ci-après dans la partie expérimentale. Elles justifient l'utilisation des embouts ci-dessus décrits, dans l'injection sûre de fluides, notamment liquides, dans les conduits physiologiques humains ou animaux, particulièrement humains.These qualities are illustrated below in the experimental part. They justify the use of the tips described above, in the safe injection of fluids, especially liquids, into human or animal physiological conduits, particularly human.
C'est pourquoi la présente demande a aussi pour objet un procédé d'injection d'un fluide, notamment liquide, dans un conduit physiologique humains ou animal, particulièrement humain, dans lequel on utilise un dispositif d'injection mini d'un embout ci-dessus.This is why the subject of the present application is also a method for injecting a fluid, in particular a liquid, into a human or animal physiological conduit, particularly human, in which a mini injection device of a mouthpiece is used. -above.
Cette injection est réalisée particulièrement dans un but d'hygiène.This injection is performed especially for hygiene purposes.
La présente demande a aussi pour objet un bouton poussoir muni d'une canule et d'un embout ci-dessus. Un tel bouton poussoir est adaptable notamment sur des pompes doseuses ou des valves pour l'administration de produits pharmaceutiques, d'hygiène ou de soins.The present application also relates to a push button with a cannula and a tip above. Such a push button is adaptable in particular on dosing pumps or valves for the administration of pharmaceutical products, hygiene or care.
La présente demande a donc enfin pour objet une boite ou coffret renfermant un pulvérisateur éventuellement muni d'une pompe doseuse ou non, particulièrement pour l'administration de produits pharmaceutiques, d'hygiène ou de soins, et un bouton poussoir muni d'un embout ci-dessus.The present application therefore finally relates to a box or box containing a sprayer optionally provided with a dosing pump or not, particularly for the administration of pharmaceutical products, hygiene or care, and a push button with a nozzle above.
Les conditions préférentielles de mise en oeuvre des embouts ci-dessus décrites s'appliquent également aux autres objets de l'invention visés ci-dessus, notamment aux procédés d'injection d'un fluide et boutons poussoir munis d'une canule et d'un embout ci-dessus.The preferred conditions of implementation of the tips described above also apply to the other objects of the invention referred to above, in particular to fluid injection methods and push buttons equipped with a cannula and a tip above.

Sur la figure 1, on distingue un bouton poussoir 1 comprenant un manchon cylindrique 2, vers le haut duquel est installée une canule 3 traversée par un canal axial, à l'extrémité externe (c'est-à-dire l'extrémité opposée au manchon) de laquelle est installé un embout 4.In FIG. 1, there is a pushbutton 1 comprising a
Cet embout 4 a une forme générale tronconique (cylindroconique), dont la pointe est dirigée vers l'extérieur.This
Dans la surface extérieure du tronc de cône, des rainures 5 sont ménagées longitudinalement, ce qui les rend directement accessibles à une opération de lavage.In the outer surface of the truncated cone,
Comme on le voit mieux sur la figure 2, l'embout 4 est dans la version représentée ici une pièce creuse rapportée, installée à l'extrémité cylindrique renflée 3E de la canule 3.As best seen in Figure 2, the
Sur les figures 3 et 4, on peut observer les éléments analogues à ceux que l'on a pu observer sur la figure 2.In FIGS. 3 and 4, elements similar to those observed in FIG. 2 can be observed.
La forme tronconique de l'embout 4 a cependant été modifiée. Ainsi, l'embout de la figure 3 est en forme d'ogive tandis que celui de la figure 4 a une forme de tonneau.The frustoconical shape of the
Sur la figure 5, on peut observer d'une part la forme en ogive d'un modèle d'embout selon l'invention, et d'autre part la forme longitudinale des canaux. Ces canaux sont étroits (environ 0,5 mm de largeur) et ont une largeur constante de l'extrémité externe à l'extrémité interne de l'embout. Sur la figure 6, les rainures ne sont pas longitudinales mais arquées.In FIG. 5, one can observe on the one hand the ogival shape of a tip model according to the invention, and on the other hand the longitudinal shape of the channels. These channels are narrow (about 0.5 mm wide) and have a constant width from the outer end to the inner end of the tip. In Figure 6, the grooves are not longitudinal but arcuate.
Sur la figure 7, on peut observer un embout tronconique à rainures arquées, à l'extrémité externe duquel on a installé un anneau.In Figure 7, one can observe a frustoconical tip with arcuate grooves, the outer end of which was installed a ring.
Les embouts représentés aux figures 1 à 7 étaient des embouts rapportés.The tips shown in Figures 1 to 7 were reported tips.
Les figures 8, 9 et 10 illustrent des embouts monobloc, réalisés d'une pièce avec notamment la canule 3 mais aussi le manchon 2.FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 illustrate one-piece endpieces made in one piece, in particular with the
Sur la figure 8, on peut observer la forme en ogive, tronconique légèrement convexe, du modèle d'embout représenté et le canal axial traversant la canule 3. La buse de pulvérisation comprend ici un insert 6 installé dans une chambre de pulvérisation. L'extrémité de l'embout comprend un orifice 7 de pulvérisation. A l'opposé de l'embout, le canal axial part à angle droit et peut être emmanché sur la tige d'une soupape ou d'une pompe.In FIG. 8, it is possible to observe the slightly convex, frustoconical, ogival shape of the illustrated nozzle model and the axial channel passing through the
Sur les figures 9 et surtout 10, on peut observer les larges quatre rainures 5 longitudinales servant de canaux d'évacuation. Le fond des rainures 5 est parallèle à l'axe de la canule 3 comme on le voit sur la figure 9, mais compte tenu de la forme en ogive de l'embout 1, la profondeur des rainures 5 augmente lorsque l'on se dirige vers le manchon 2. De même, elles s'élargissent. Une telle configuration permet au fluide excédentaire de ne pas s'écouler en jet lors d'une pulvérisation.In Figures 9 and especially 10, we can see the broad four
Comme on peut l'observer sur la figure 10, la surface extérieure de l'embout 1 s'inscrit environ sur un cercle en tout plan perpendiculaire à son axe, qui est ici également l'axe de la canule 3. En vue transversale, les quatre rainures 5 sont de forme arrondie, arquée. Elles s'étendent chacune sur un secteur d'environ 90° d'arc.As can be seen in Figure 10, the outer surface of the tip 1 is about a circle in any plane perpendicular to its axis, which is also the axis of the
Un tel embout est extrêmement facile à nettoyer, de coût réduit et d'une remarquable simplicité.Such a tip is extremely easy to clean, low cost and remarkable simplicity.
