Definitions
- the invention relates to a device (pipette) for the metered dispensing of a medium from a container comprising a piston by depressing the piston, comprising: a housing; a dispensing mechanism with a dispensing element; an actuator movable from a first stop to a second stop, the actuator coupled to the dispensing mechanism such that upon movement of the actuator from the first stop to the second stop, the dispensing member depresses the piston a distance; and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the distance of the dispensing element traveled from the first stop to the second stop per movement of the actuating element, wherein the adjusting mechanism is step-adjustable by rotation of an adjusting element and has at least one cylindrical wall portion.
- a syringe Prior to dosing, a syringe is inserted into the device and a certain volume of fluid is drawn into the syringe. Subsequently, the actuating element is actuated so often until a series dosage is completed or until the syringe is emptied.
- auxiliary tables are used, in which for various known syringe types and metering volumes per actuation cycle, the appropriate adjustment of the adjustment mechanism is specified. Even if in this way there is a clear specification as to which stage of the adjustment mechanism is to be selected for a particular type of syringe and dosing volume, there is a considerable risk of incorrect settings. For example. It may also occur to trained personnel that the table erroneously not the correct value, but, for example, a value from an adjacent column of the line is read. In this way, it may turn out that an entire series dosing is faulty.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for the metered dispensing of a fluid from a syringe, in which the susceptibility to errors in the adjustment of the dose amount to be applied is reduced.
- the apparatus for metering a medium from a container comprising a piston by depressing the piston comprises: a housing; a dispensing mechanism with a dispensing element; an actuator movable from a first stop to a second stop, the actuator coupled to the dispensing mechanism such that upon movement of the actuator from the first stop to the second stop, the dispensing member depresses the piston a distance; and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the distance of the dispensing element traveled from the first stop to the second stop per movement of the actuating element, wherein the adjusting mechanism is step-adjustable by rotation of an adjusting element and has at least one cylindrical wall portion.
- the device further comprises a display element comprising: a gap-like opening in the housing through which a slit-like portion of the cylindrical wall portion is visible from outside the housing; and a tabulation of the quantities that are respectively applied during a movement of the actuating element from the first stop to the second stop for a predetermined number of different types of syringes at different step-like settings of the adjusting mechanism, wherein the tabular list is arranged on the cylindrical wall portion.
- the device is a so-called hand dispenser or a pipette for dispensing series dosages, for example in the volume range between 1 .mu.l and 5 ml.
- an actuating element for example a pushbutton
- the piston of the syringe is adjusted to the desired dispensing volume per actuation or actuation cycle pressed down corresponding route. This process is repeated until the syringe is empty or until the series dose is complete.
- the actuator is coupled to the dispensing mechanism having a dispensing member that directly engages the syringe plunger such that upon a complete depression of the actuator from a first stop to a second stop, the dispensing member is moved precisely the correct, preset piston stroke.
- the device has an adjustment mechanism.
- the adjustment mechanism has an adjusting element by means of which a cylindrical wall section, in particular a sleeve or setting drum, is adjustable relative to the housing between different radial settings, in particular stepwise. This setting determines the ratio between the actuating travel of the actuator and the travel distance of the dispensing element.
- the dispensing mechanism may also comprise a pawl, which, after the actuating element has been moved over a certain distance, engages in a corresponding counter-toothing of the dispensing element.
- the actuating element is arranged movable relative to the adjusting drum in the axial direction, the adjusting drum is arranged immovable axially relative to the housing.
- the pawl coupled to the actuating element is blocked over a distance before engagement in the counter-toothing of the dispensing element, as long as the pawl is pushed along the inner wall of the sleeve.
- the pawl engages in a counter-toothing under the action of a force (for example generated by an elastic element).
- a force for example generated by an elastic element.
- the housing has an axial, gap-like recess or opening or window with respect to the adjusting drum. Through this opening, arranged in the region of the opening column of the table can be seen from the outside. At different angular positions of the adjusting drum different columns of the table are visible, so that the dosage for each type of syringe can be read in a simple manner and with reduced error rate.
- the tabulated list contains, column by column, the indication of the application rate per actuation of the actuating element for the various types of syringes at the respective setting of the setting mechanism, line by line the application rate for a particular type of syringe at the various step-like settings of the setting mechanism.
- the gap-like opening is particularly arranged relative to the cylindrical wall portion such that for a particular setting stage of the adjustment mechanism the appropriate application rate per actuation of the actuating element for each of the syringe types is visible.
- the adjustment mechanism preferably comprises a pawl and a counter-toothing, for. B. a rack, wherein the pawl engages at different settings of the adjustment mechanism after different movement distances of the actuating element between the stops in the counter-toothing.
- the adjustment mechanism may comprise a blocking element which blocks the engagement of the pawl in the counter teeth until the actuating element is pressed down by a certain distance of movement, the distance of movement depending on the setting of the adjusting mechanism.
- the housing in particular has a receptacle for attaching a syringe to the housing.
- the device may also include a latch for securing the piston to the dispensing element.
- the device may comprise an elevator element with an actuating slide for mounting the syringe.
- the piston can be pulled out of the syringe body and the syringe are drawn up before the series dosing begins.
- the elevator element and the lock are in particular coupled.
- the device has a return mechanism that exerts a (restoring) force on the actuating element in the direction of the first stop.
- the metering device 1 has a housing 10.
- a gap-like opening 11 is formed in the axial direction.
- an adjusting drum which is located in the interior of the housing 10.
- the various types of syringes which are identified on the basis of their volumes are indicated line by line in a field 12 corresponding to the height of the opening 11.
- the setting step is given a step-like adjustment mechanism.
- the respective dosing quantities for the different types of syringes are displayed at a certain setting level.
- the metering device 1 also has an actuating knob 20, which from a first stop position (above, as in the FIG. 1 shown), in which it is urged by a return spring can be pressed by pressing in a second stop position down.
- This simple operation corresponds to a single dosing in the context of a series dosing.
- the metering device 1 has an adjusting wheel 30 with which the volume to be dispensed in a single metering can be adjusted.
- a slider 40 which can be moved from a lower position 41 in the illustrated upper position 40, the syringe which has been introduced into a receptacle 14 of the housing 10, can be wound up.
- the button 42 is provided for actuating a lock with which the plunger or piston of the syringe can be attached to a corresponding Ausbringelement.
- the dispensing mechanism has a dispensing element 4 with the following elements, which are rigidly connected to each other:
- the already mentioned slide 40 serves to the dispensing element 4 from a first position (corresponding to reference numeral 41 in FIG. 1 ) to a second position (corresponding to reference numeral 40 of FIG FIG. 1 ), in which the syringe is raised.
- the plunger or piston of the syringe (not shown) can be locked and unlocked by means of a lock 43 attached to the Ausbringelement 4.
- the lock 43 is actuated by the lock button 42.
- the Ausbringelement 4 also has a rack 44, in which a corresponding pawl of the dispensing mechanism can engage, as in connection with the FIG. 3 will be described.
- a central element of the invention is a relative to the housing axially fixed adjusting drum 31. This is about a thumbwheel 30 radially rotatable or adjustable.
- On the adjusting drum 31 are column by column quantities of the application volumes for different types of syringes at different settings (the setting stage is given in the last line) in the form of a table arranged.
- the drum 31 is oriented relative to the window 11 in the housing 10 so that at a certain angular adjustment of the drum 31 for each type of syringe, the correct application volume in the window 11 is visible. Line by line, the Ausbringvolumina for a particular type of syringe, depending on the angular adjustment of the drum 31, indicated.
- the lower edge of the adjusting drum has steps 311, 312, 313, etc., different axial height.
- the rack 44 faces a certain step of the lower edge of the adjusting drum 31.
- a pawl initially on the inner wall of the adjusting drum 31, also moves downwards.
- this pawl now engages sooner or later with the rack 44 and pushes the Ausbringelement 4 in the remaining distance that the actuating element 20 to the second stop performs, down.
- a coupled to the Ausbringelement 4 piston rod is pushed by this distance down until the desired volume is applied.
- the actuating element 20 moves, in particular from the FIG. 3 shows, under the force of a return spring 21 back up to the starting position to the first stop.
- the pawl 22 is not in engagement with the rack 44 but, due to its geometry, slides over the teeth of the rack 44.
- the pawl 22 then slides back into the adjusting drum 31.
- the pawl 22 first moves along the inside of the adjusting drum 31 to the set lower edge of the adjusting drum 31 and then engages, since a force K in the direction the rack 44 acts (for example, a spring force K) in the rack 44 and pushes this turn a defined way down.
