Abstract

1. Pipette mit
- einer Verdrängungseinheit umfassend ein stangenförmiges Gehäuseunterteil mit einer darin angeordneten Verdrängungskammer mit einer verlagerbaren Begrenzung, einem mit der verlagerbaren Begrenzung verbundenen Kontaktelement an einer oberen Gehäuseöffnung oben am Gehäuseunterteil, einem Ansatz zum Verbinden mit einer Pipettenspitze unten am Gehäuseunterteil und einem Verbindungskanal zwischen der Verdrängungskammer und dem freien Ende des Ansatzes,
- einer Antriebseinheit zum Antreiben der verlagerbaren Begrenzung der Verdrängungseinheit in einem stangenförmigen Gehäuseoberteil, einer darin angeordneten Antriebseinrichtung, einem mit der Antriebseinrichtung zusammenwirkenden Betätigungselement am Gehäuseoberteil und einem mit der Antriebseinrichtung zusammenwirkenden Antriebselement an einer unteren Gehäuseöffnung unten am Gehäuseoberteil, das durch Betätigen des Betätigungselement in Betätigungsrichtung nach unten verlagerbar ist, um einen Dosierhub der verlagerbaren Begrenzung auszuführen,
- Mittel zum lösbaren Verbinden, die das Gehäuseoberteil und das Gehäuseunterteil in einer Anordnung, in der das Antriebselement an dem Kontaktelement anliegt, zu einem stangenförmigen Gehäuse lösbar miteinander verbinden,
- einer Abwurfeinrichtung, die einen am Gehäuseunterteil verlagerbar angeordneten Abwurfschieber aufweist, der unten ein Abwurfende zum Lösen einer Pipettenspitze vom Ansatz hat, und die Abwurfeinrichtung ferner eine verlagerbar am Gehäuseoberteil angeordnete Abwurfverlängerung aufweist, die unten mit dem oberen Ende des Abwurfschiebers verbunden ist und oben ein Betätigungsende hat,
- einem im Gehäuseoberteil angeordneten, fest mit dem Gehäuseoberteil fest verbundenen Endanschlag und einem mit dem Antriebselement verbundenen Endanschlagelement zum Begrenzen der Verlagerung des Antriebselements nach unten,
- einer Entkopplungseinrichtung zwischen Antriebseinrichtung und Antriebselement, die bei Anlage des Endanschlagelements am Endanschlag und fortgesetzter Verlagerung des Betätigungselements in Betätigungsrichtung das Antriebselement von der Antriebseinrichtung entkoppelt, und
- einem mit der Antriebseinrichtung koppelbaren unteren Anschlagkörper, der bei Entkopplung des Antriebselements von der Antriebseinrichtung durch die Entkopplungseinrichtung auf das Betätigungsende der Abwurfverlängerung trifft, um bei weiterem Verlagern des Betätigungselements in Betätigungsrichtung die Abwurfverlängerung den Abwurfschieber nach unten zu verlagern.

1. Pipette with
a displacement unit comprising a rod-shaped housing lower part with a displacement chamber arranged therein with a displaceable boundary, a contact element connected to the displaceable boundary at an upper housing opening at the top of the housing base, a projection for connection to a pipette tip at the bottom of the housing base and a connection channel between the displacement chamber and the free end of the approach,
- A drive unit for driving the displaceable boundary of the displacement unit in a rod-shaped housing upper part, disposed therein drive means, cooperating with the drive means actuator on the housing upper part and cooperating with the drive means drive element on a lower housing opening at the bottom of the housing top, by actuating the actuating element in the actuation direction is displaceable down to perform a Dosierhub the movable boundary,
- means for releasably connecting, the housing upper part and the lower housing part in an arrangement in which the drive element is applied to the contact element, releasably connect to a rod-shaped housing,
- A discharge device which has a displaceably arranged on the lower housing part discharge slide, which has a discharge end for releasing a pipette tip from the bottom approach, and the discharge device further comprises a displaceable arranged on the upper housing Abwurfverlängerung, which is connected at the bottom with the upper end of the discharge slide and above Operating end has,
a stop arranged fixedly in the upper housing part and fixedly connected to the upper housing part, and an end stop element connected to the drive element for limiting the displacement of the drive element downwards,
a decoupling device between the drive device and the drive element which decouples the drive element from the drive device when the end stop element bears against the end stop and continued displacement of the actuating element in the direction of actuation, and
- One can be coupled with the drive means lower stop body, which strikes in decoupling of the drive element of the drive means by the decoupling device on the operating end of the Abwurfverlängerung to relocate upon further displacement of the actuating element in the direction of actuation the discharge extension the discharge slide down.
