Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pipettes, also called sampling pipettes, laboratory pipettes or liquid transfer pipettes. They are intended for the collection and dispensing of liquid in containers or the like.
  • the invention relates more specifically to manual pipettes, intended to be held in the hand by an operator during sampling and liquid dispensing operations, these operations being performed by setting in motion a control knob obtained by the application of an axial pressure on the same button.
  • the axial pressure applied to the control knob is transmitted to a piston of the pipette, which undergoes axial displacement and causes a displacement of air leading to sampling and dispensing operations.
  • the manual pipettes contrast with the motorized pipettes which are designed so that the displacement of the piston is effected under the action of a motor controlled by an electronic device, although the order of the sampling stroke and the dispensing stroke is also controlled by pressing a button.
  • a device for adjusting this volume By actuating this device, the initial position of the piston is moved, and the pipetting stroke of this piston is changed. More specifically, the actuation of this adjustment device usually generates the displacement of a threaded member which defines a high stop for a control rod whose high end carries the control button, and a low end cooperates with the piston. Also, when adjusting the volume to be taken, the axial displacement of the threaded member and its high stop generates, thanks to appropriate springs, the simultaneous axial displacement of the control rod, the button and the piston.
  • the threaded volume adjustment member is arranged within a hollow outer body forming a handle, which is intended to be held by the hand of the operator during handling of the pipette.
  • This hollow outer body is also traversed by the control rod, and further houses a counter for displaying the value of the set volume.
  • This counter comprises a plurality of graduated wheels cooperating with the threaded adjustment member, which causes their rotation as this member is actuated during adjustment.
  • gear type links are usually located between the threaded adjustment member and the meter wheels.
  • the value of the set volume is displayed through a window provided on the outer body, this window for reading one of the graduations of each wheel of the meter.
  • the wheels for example three in number, are generally stacked axially and respectively dedicated to the indication of the number of units, tens and hundreds.
  • the total value of the set volume is thus indicated by reading axially / vertically the three figures appearing through the window provided laterally on the outer body of pipette forming handle.
  • the invention therefore aims to at least partially solve the problems indicated above, relating to the achievements of the prior art.
  • the invention firstly relates to a top portion of a sampling pipette comprising the features of claim 1.
  • said first threaded member is integral in rotation along the longitudinal axis of one of the two elements constituted by said set of first volume graduations and said first mark, this element being arranged axially between the hollow outer body forming a handle and said control knob.
  • the invention is remarkable in that the set of first graduations or the first mark is integral in rotation with the first threaded volume adjustment member.
  • This direct reading design of the set volume thus contrasts with the prior art counters, in which gear type connections were provided between the threaded volume adjusting member and the meter wheels.
  • the removal of these bonds contributes greatly to the reduction of the overall bulk of the upper part and / or the release of free volume in the hollow body to implant other pipette components.
  • This advantage is even more pronounced by placing the set of first graduations and / or the first mark outside the hollow body forming a handle, and no longer behind a window made through the lateral part of this body.
  • the volume displayed by the graduations and the mark is preferably read from the top of the pipette, that is to say with the axis of vision of the operator confused with the axis of the pipette, and the control knob facing the eyes of the operator.
  • Another advantage lies in the ability to continuously read the set volume, regardless of the hand holding the pipette. This contrasts with the prior art embodiments in which the side window of the meter could be hidden by the hand of the operator, depending on the hand chosen to hold the pipette.
  • Said set of first volume graduations is made on a first graduated member, preferably in the form of a ring, this first graduated member and / or said first mark being configured to be reversibly mounted, preferably by clipping, in several angular positions on a support member of the first graded member / of this first mark.
  • this feature greatly facilitates the calibration process of the pipette.
  • the number of angular positions is preferably at least equal to the number of first graduations.
  • the invention preferably comprises at least one of the optional features presented below, provided separately or in combination.
  • Said first marker is an index or a window.
  • Said first threaded member passes axially through an upper opening of the outer body forming a handle and is made in one piece with a first flange extending radially outwardly from an upper end of said first threaded member, said first flange carrying said first mark associated with the first threaded member.
  • the collar could be attached to the first threaded adjustment member.
  • Said device for adjusting and displaying a volume to be sampled further comprises a second threaded device for adjusting the volume to be sampled, said second threaded member being traversed by the control rod and screwed onto said first threaded member, the device also comprising a plurality of second volume graduations spaced angularly from each other about the longitudinal axis and cooperating with a second mark so as to provide information on the volume to be taken, and said second threaded member is integral in rotation along the axis longitudinal of one of the two elements constituted by said set of second volume graduations and said second mark, this element being arranged axially between the hollow outer body forming a handle and said control button.
  • Multi-threaded volume control designs are therefore preferred because they allow for high speed of adjustment while maintaining good accuracy.
  • the pitch of the second threaded member is less than the pitch of the first threaded member
  • the first and second threaded members are designed so that the extent of the axial displacement of the second threaded member, an extreme axial position to the other is equal to the extent of the axial displacement of the first threaded member generated during the passage of any one of the first graduations to the first directly consecutive graduation.
  • this amounts to providing on the one hand a first threaded member allowing a coarse adjustment, for example with a division of a value of 10 ⁇ ! between two first graduations successive directions, and secondly a second threaded member allowing a fine adjustment, for example with ten seconds graduations and a division of a value of 1 ⁇ ! between two second graduations successive directions.
  • the number of threaded adjustment members could be greater than two, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the solution is particularly advantageous because it offers a simplified adjustment. Indeed, it becomes possible to adjust any volume of the operating range of the pipette by performing a maximum of two turns, namely a maximum turn for the first threaded member and a maximum turn for the second threaded member.
  • the set of graduations associated with the coarsest setting makes it possible to give an accurate indication of the operating range of the pipette, thanks to its two extreme values that are preferentially visible externally permanently on the pipette, looking at the pipette from above. This allows the operator to identify at any time the pipette model he is using.
  • said set of second volume graduations is made on a second graduated, preferably ring-shaped member, and that said second graduated member and / or said second marker is configured to be able to be reversibly mounted, preferably by clipping, in several angular positions on a support member of the second graded member / of this second mark. As mentioned above for the first member, this facilitates calibration operations. Also, the number of angular positions here is also preferably at least equal to the number of second graduations.
  • said second marker is an index or a window.
  • the second threaded member passes axially through an upper opening of the first threaded member and is made in one piece with a second collar extending radially outwardly from a top end of said second threaded member, said second collar bearing said second mark associated with the second threaded member.
  • a reported flange solution is possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the first flange is arranged axially between the second flange and the hollow outer body forming a handle, and said first flange carrying said first reference associated with the first threaded member, also carries the other of the two elements constituted by said set of second graduations volume and said second mark.
  • an inverted position between the two flanges is also possible, by providing the second threaded member screwed externally on the first threaded member, and not the opposite.
  • said set of first volume graduations is carried by the hollow outer body forming a handle, preferably by an upper surface of this body, substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the pipette.
  • the first and / or second flanges form means for actuating in rotation the first / second threaded members for adjusting the volume to be sampled.
  • This feature which is of course also valid for solutions with a single threaded adjustment member, further simplifies the design of the pipette. Indeed, these collars, equipped with graduations and / or associated marks, then allow to fulfill two distinct functions that are the volume adjustment and the display of the volume set.
  • control rod can form means for actuating in rotation the second threaded member, the rotary drive of the second member threaded by the control rod passing therethrough is preferably formed by cooperation of form. It is thus possible to actuate the second threaded member with the second flange and / or with the control rod, via the control button. Of course, this option is also available for single threaded designs.
  • the second threaded member defines a high stop pipetting stroke of the control rod.
  • this stop can be defined by this single threaded member.
  • the invention also relates to a sampling pipette comprising an upper part as described above.
  • a manually operated air displacement sampling pipette 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the terms “up” and “down” are to be considered with the pipette held vertically in the pipetting position or close to this same position, as is the case on the figure 1 .
  • a manual pipette is intended to be held by the hand of an operator, who, using his thumb, actuates the pipette to generate the dispensing of a liquid that has been previously sucked.
  • the pipette 1 of longitudinal axis 3 comprises an upper part 2 equipped with a hollow outer body forming a handle 6.
  • the body 6 has a flange 8 in which the hand of the operator is intended to be placed during pipetting.
  • the body 6 is connected at its lower end to a lower part of the pipette 7, which terminates in a tip 10 carrying a sampling cone 12 fitted on this tip.
  • a system (not shown) for ejecting the cone is also provided on the pipette.
  • connection between the upper part 2 and the lower part 7 is preferably made by screwing.
  • the upper part 2 also comprises a pipetting control rod 14 carrying at its upper end a control knob 16 intended to undergo the pressure of the thumb of the operator.
  • the rod 14 is displaceable in translation inside the body 6, along the axis 3.
  • the rod 14 controls the displacement of a piston 18 in a suction chamber 19 formed in the part low.
  • the button 16, the rod 14 and the piston 18 move simultaneously along the axis 3 during pressurization button 14 by the operator, and when releasing this pressure.
  • the rod 14 and the piston 18 may be made in one piece, or made separately and then reported on one another.
  • the upper part 2 also comprises a device 20 for adjusting and displaying a volume to be taken, specific to the invention and which will be described more specifically with reference to the Figures 2 to 3 .
  • first threaded member 22 for adjusting the volume to be taken, also called adjusting screw.
  • This member 22 is hollow and traversed by the rod 14. It has an external thread 24 cooperating with a corresponding thread formed on the inner surface of the body 6. This is a member allowing a rough adjustment of the volume to be taken, with a high pitch P1 provided accordingly.
  • the member 22 extends upwardly within the body 6, to axially pass through an upper opening 27 thereof. It therefore extends upwardly beyond the handle 6, and its upper end is secured to a first flange 26 extending radially outwardly.
  • the flange 26 is preferably made in one piece with the threaded member 22. It covers a portion of the flange 8 of the body 6, being arranged substantially parallel to this flange. As will be explained below, the flange 26 has several functions, including that of allowing actuation of the threaded member 22, with which it is obviously integral in rotation along the axis 3.
  • the device 20 comprises a second threaded member 32 for adjusting the volume to be taken, also called adjusting screw.
  • This member 32 is hollow and traversed by the rod 14. It has an external thread 34 cooperating with a corresponding thread formed on the inner surface of the first threaded member 22. This is a member for fine adjustment of the volume to take, with a low pitch P2, less than the pitch P1.
  • the member 32 extends upwardly within the body 6 and the first threaded member 22, until it passes axially through the upper opening 35 thereof.
  • the member 32 thus extends upwardly beyond the handle and the first flange 26, and its upper end is secured to a second flange 36 extending radially outwardly.
  • the flange 36 is preferably made in one piece with the threaded member 32. It covers a portion of the collar 26 being arranged substantially parallel thereto, the radial extent of the first collar 26 being greater than that of the second flange 36.
  • the flange 36 has several functions, including that of allowing actuation of the threaded member 32 with which it is integral in rotation along the axis 3.
  • the two flanges 26, 36 are thus concentric, arranged around the rod 14, and situated axially between the upper flange 8 of the handle 6 and the pipetting control knob 16.
  • the flange 8 has a groove 39 in which is inserted, reversibly, a ring 40 forming a graduated member.
  • a ring 40 On this ring 40, there is provided a set of first graduations of volumes 42, angularly spaced from each other along the axis 3. These first graduations 42 define between them angular divisions, for example a value of 10 .mu.l.
  • the graduations 42 present around a circle centered on the axis 3 are distributed over almost 360 °, ranging from the smallest sampling value, 20 ⁇ l, to the largest sampling value, 200 .mu.l.
  • the first flange 26 carries a mark formed by an index 44 cooperating with the first graduations 42. Also, by superposition according to the longitudinal direction of the pipette, the index 44 points to one of the graduations 42 indicating the setting provided by the first threaded member.
  • the first flange 26 has a groove 49 in which is inserted, reversibly, a ring 50 forming a graduated member.
  • a ring 50 On this ring 50, there is provided a set of second graduations of volumes 52, angularly spaced from each other along the axis 3.
  • These second graduations 52 define between them angular divisions, for example of a value of 1 .mu.l.
  • the graduations 52 present around a circle centered on the axis 3, are distributed over almost 360 °, ranging from 0 to 9 .mu.l.
  • Intermediate graduations 52 ' may optionally be placed between the second graduations 52, so as to adjust / display the volume to the nearest half-millimeter.
  • the second flange 36 carries a mark formed by an index 54 cooperating with the first graduations 52 and the intermediate graduations 52 '. Also, by superposition in the longitudinal direction of the pipette, the index 54 points on one of the graduations 52, 52 ', indicating the adjustment provided by the second threaded member.
  • the total volume variation offered by the fine adjustment member 32 corresponds to the value of the division between two first graduations 42 of the coarse member 22, which allows a high accuracy of adjustment.
  • the first and second threaded members 22, 32 are designed such that the extent of the axial displacement of the second threaded member 32, from one extreme axial position to the other, is equal to the extent of the axial displacement of the first threaded member 32 from any first graduation 42 to the next graduation.
  • the graduated rings 40, 50 When they are inserted into their corresponding grooves 39, 49, the graduated rings 40, 50 are integral in rotation with the piece forming the groove, just as the indexes 44, 54 in the form of sliders are also integral in rotation with the collars 26 , 36, respectively. Nevertheless, the graduated rings 40, 50 are mounted in their grooves in a reversible manner, that is to say that they can be extracted without being damaged, and then be reassembled later in different angular positions. This facilitates the calibration process of the pipette, as will be detailed later.
  • the assembly of the graduated rings 40, 50 in their grooves respective is preferably by clipping or any other similar technique that does not require a tool, or requires a very conventional tool.
  • each graduated ring 40, 50 with its support member 8, 26, along the axis 3
  • complementary geometry of the hollow type and projections may be provided on the periphery of the ring and on the outside flank of his associated throat.
  • the upper portion of the pipette 2 also comprises a spring 60 reminding the rod 14 and the piston in the high position.
  • This spring 60 which surrounds the rod 14, for example has a low end bearing on a low end of the handle 6, and a high end resting on a shoulder 62 formed on the rod.
  • the shoulder 62 undergoing the force of the spring 60, is pressed against an upper stop 64 of pipetting stroke made on the upper end of the second threaded member 32.
  • the periphery of the shoulder 62 has a complementarity of form with the inner surface of the second threaded volume adjusting member 32, so as to allow the rotation of the latter by the button 16, via the rod 14.
  • the figure 2b represents an exemplary embodiment in which the complementary shapes have polygonal geometries.
  • the rod 14 constitutes a means for actuating in rotation the second threaded volume adjusting member 32, since the rotation along the axis 3 of this rod 14, via the button 16, causes a rotation of the same amplitude of the threaded member 32.
  • the operator can therefore act on the two threaded members 22, 32.
  • the first threaded member 22 can be actuated by the first collar 26, whose rotation along the axis 3 causes a rotation of the first member threaded 22 of the same amplitude.
  • the operator favors this first member 22 to begin its adjustment, since it is the threaded member associated with the coarse adjustment.
  • This actuation is therefore effected outside the hollow body 6, by rotating the flange 26 until the index finger 44 points towards the first desired graduation 42. This adjusts the volume to 10 ⁇ l.
  • the operator can then act on the second threaded member 32.
  • the latter can be actuated by the second collar 36 or by the In both cases, the rotation along the axis 3 causes a rotation of the second threaded member 32 of the same amplitude.
  • This actuation is also effected outside the hollow body 6, by turning the flange 36 or the rod 14 until the index 54 points towards the second desired graduation 52, or towards an intermediate graduation 52 . This adjusts the volume to 0.5 ⁇ l.
  • links with notches or the like can be provided between the body 6, the member 22 and the member 32, so that the latter two can be held in rotation in each desired adjustment position.
  • the effort developed by the operator turning the flanges 26, 36 must overcome the holding forces resulting from the cooperation of the notches with the hollows.
  • These restraint efforts are preferably low, but high enough not to have the volume is accidentally deregulated during handling of the pipette. This arrangement therefore contrasts with that of the graduated rings 40, 50 in their grooves, since in the latter case, a relative rotation can be obtained by removing these rings from the grooves, and by replacing them in different angular positions.
  • the rotation of the threaded members 22, 32 causes their displacement along the axis 3, and thus causes a displacement of the upper stop 64 pipetting stroke.
  • the assembly comprising the button 16, the rod 14 and the piston is displaced by the same vertical distance, which has a direct influence on the pipetting stroke.
  • the bottom pipetting stroke stop is achieved by a piece 66 housed in the bottom of the hollow body 6, and movable to slide along the axis 3.
  • a spring 68 of stiffness higher than that of the spring 60 is interposed between this piece 66 and the bottom of the hollow body 6. This is a purge spring, allowing the piston to perform a purge stroke in a conventional manner, known to those skilled in the art .
  • the volume displayed by the graduations and corresponding indexes is read from the top of the pipette, that is to say with the axis of vision of the operator coinciding with the axis 3, and the button 16 oriented to the eyes of the operator. More precisely, it is the radial correspondence between the graduations and their indexes which makes it possible to read the overall volume, which is determined by adding the volume indicated by the first index 44, and that indicated by the second index 54.
  • the retained design has the advantage of being able to read continuously the set volume, whatever the hand holding the pipette. Indeed, the hand of the operator is below the rim 8 of the handle 6, while the graduated rings 40, 50 and the indexes 44, 54 are arranged axially externally relative to the body 6, between the latter and the control knob 16.
  • the operating range of the pipette can also be read at any time by the operator, thanks to the first and second graduations permanently visible from the top of the pipette.
  • the Figures 4 to 6 show different steps of a volume adjustment on the pipette described above.
  • the desired volume is 158 ⁇ l.
  • This rotation causes the axial displacement of the threaded member 22, and an upward movement of the upper stop 64 pipetting stroke.
  • the first flange 26 equipped with the second graduated ring 50 and the first index 44 remains fixed, but it is the second flange 36 which is actuated in rotation to bring the index 54 of the second graduation 52 indicating 0 ⁇ l as shown on the figure 5 at the second graduation 52 indicating 8 ⁇ l as shown on the figure 6 .
  • This rotation causes a new axial displacement, that of the threaded member 32, and thus causes a new upward movement of the upper stop 64 pipetting stroke.
  • the figure 7 represents one of the steps of a calibration method of the pipette 1, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • an adjustment of a target volume to be taken is carried out using the adjustment and display device 20.
  • the method consists simply in disassembling one or both graduated rings 40, 50 initially clipped in their grooves 39, 49, as has been schematized on the figure 7 then these rings 40, 50 are then raised in different angular positions in these grooves, so that they display, via the corresponding indexes, the value of the measurement.
  • the number of possible angular positions for mounting this ring in its groove is at least equal to the number of graduations marked on this ring.
  • Such a calibration is quick and easy to perform, and it can be implemented by the operator himself.
