Description

本考案は、検体サンプルを受け入れる先端具内の気体の吸・排気の吸引源が息の吸・排による呼気・吸気作動用ピペットに関する。   The present invention relates to an exhalation / inhalation operation pipette that uses a gas suction / exhaust as a gas suction / exhaust suction source in a tip for receiving a specimen sample.

従来から、医学、生物学的な研究や試験などで、例えば被験者の皮膚、骨、血管、臓器等の細胞、組織、培地等を含む液体、培養液等(便宜上、これらを総称して以下単に検体サンプルと言う)を先端具内に採取したり、そこから排出したりする駆動源は手動や電動、更には息の吸・排など種々の手段が採用されている。この場合に、検体サンプルが殊にミクロン単位であったり、取り扱い量が極微量な場合には、手動や電動によるものに比べて、取り扱い易さと、正確さ、更には経済性の観点から、一端に唇で咥えるマウスピース(吸い口)01を備えたチューブ02と、このチューブ02の先端に先端具取付け部材03とを備え、この先端具取付け部材03には使い捨ての先端具04が装着される、所謂呼気・吸気作動用ピペット(図7参照)が良く採用される。   Conventionally, in medical and biological research and testing, for example, cells, tissues, culture media, etc. of cells, skin, bones, blood vessels, organs, etc. A driving source that collects and discharges the specimen sample in the tip tool employs various means such as manual operation, electric drive, and breath inhalation / exhaust. In this case, especially when the specimen sample is in the micron unit or the handling amount is extremely small, it is easier to handle, accurate, and economical than the manual or electric one. A tube 02 having a mouthpiece (mouth) 01 that can be gripped by the lips, and a tip attachment member 03 at the tip of the tube 02. A disposable tip 04 is attached to the tip attachment member 03. A so-called exhalation / inspiration pipette (see FIG. 7) is often employed.

このような従来の呼気・吸気作動用ピペットは、マウスピース01を唇に咥えて息を吸い込み、先端具04のサンプル空間05内に検体サンプル06を吸引し、次いで息を吹き出し、先端具04内の検体サンプル06を、例えば図外のシャーレであったり、顕微鏡等に移し替える。その際、先端具04のサンプル空間05内で検体サンプル06に接触した空気は、先端具取付け部03を介してチューブ02内に吸い込まれることになる。また、逆に呼気や唾液がチューブ02内に入り込み、先端具04のサンプル空間05内の検体サンプル06と接触するおそれがある。この状態から、検体サンプル06を先端具04から排出した後、先端具04を交換しても、チューブ02内には先の検体サンプル06に接触した空気や呼気或いは唾液が残存している可能性がある。また、排出した検体サンプル06も既に息や唾液で汚染されているおそれがある。   Such a conventional pipette for exhalation / inhalation operation holds the mouthpiece 01 on the lips, inhales, inhales the specimen sample 06 into the sample space 05 of the tip 04, then blows out the breath, The specimen sample 06 is transferred to, for example, a petri dish (not shown) or a microscope or the like. At that time, the air that has contacted the specimen sample 06 in the sample space 05 of the tip tool 04 is sucked into the tube 02 via the tip tool mounting portion 03. Conversely, exhaled air or saliva may enter the tube 02 and come into contact with the specimen sample 06 in the sample space 05 of the tip 04. In this state, there is a possibility that air, exhaled air, or saliva in contact with the previous sample sample 06 remains in the tube 02 even if the tip sample 04 is replaced after the sample sample 06 is discharged from the tip tool 04. There is. In addition, the discharged specimen sample 06 may already be contaminated with breath or saliva.

従って、この種の従来構造では、たとえ先端具04を交換しても、完全な交叉汚染を防止することは不可能であり、たとえ洗浄したとしても、100%の無菌状態や清浄性を確保することは困難で、交叉汚染の根絶は不可能であり、最終的には器具そのものを新品と交換せねばならなくなり、経済的にも有利とは言えない。   Therefore, with this type of conventional structure, even if the tip tool 04 is replaced, it is impossible to prevent complete cross-contamination, and even if washed, 100% sterility and cleanliness are ensured. It is difficult to eradicate cross-contamination, and eventually the equipment itself must be replaced with a new one, which is not economically advantageous.

このような問題点を解決する一つの手段として、チューブ02の先端部に気密なハウジング07を取付け、このハウジング07の中に隔膜08を配置して、ハウジング07内の空間09を先端具側09Aと吸引側09Bとに隔絶し、先端具04側の空気がチューブ02やマウスピース01側に、また逆にマウスピース01やチューブ02側の呼気や唾液が先端具04側に互いに移行することを避けるようにした器具が見られる(図8、特許文献1参照)。   As one means for solving such a problem, an airtight housing 07 is attached to the distal end portion of the tube 02, a diaphragm 08 is disposed in the housing 07, and the space 09 in the housing 07 is moved to the distal end side 09A. And the suction side 09B are separated, and the air on the distal end device 04 side moves to the tube 02 and the mouthpiece 01 side, and conversely, the exhalation and saliva on the mouthpiece 01 or tube 02 side move to the distal end device 04 side. There is an appliance to avoid (see FIG. 8, Patent Document 1).

しかし、この市販品等は、隔膜08が微細な連続気泡を持った合成樹脂製や不織布の薄膜であったりするために、気体や唾液の行き来を上手く遮断できず、交叉汚染の根絶には今一つ完成度が足りないきらいがある。また、隔膜08は平たく張られて、緊張状態で設けられているために、吸排気時に引き延ばされて、それ自体に弾性復元性が備わってしまい、吸気・吸気の合間に、口元から僅かでも空気が漏れると、検体サンプル06を先端具04内へ上手く吸引できなかったり、検体サンプル06を先端具04から上手く排出できなかったりし、操作が大変難しい問題点があった。更に、先端具04の取付け具03の直ぐ背部にハウジング07が配置されているから、殊に顕微鏡などを覗きながらの操作では、このハウジング07が操作の邪魔になり、繊細且つ微妙な操作に支障が生じ、取り扱い
が大変不便であった。
However, this commercial product is not able to block the passage of gas and saliva well because the diaphragm 08 is a thin film made of synthetic resin or nonwoven fabric with fine open cells, so it is not enough to eradicate cross contamination. There is a lack of completeness. Further, since the diaphragm 08 is stretched flat and is provided in a tension state, it is stretched at the time of intake and exhaust, and itself has elastic resilience. However, if the air leaks, the sample sample 06 cannot be sucked into the tip tool 04 well, or the sample sample 06 cannot be discharged from the tip tool 04, which makes operation very difficult. Further, since the housing 07 is disposed immediately behind the attachment 03 of the tip tool 04, the housing 07 interferes with the operation especially when looking through a microscope or the like, and the delicate and delicate operation is hindered. And the handling was very inconvenient.

本考案は、上記従来技術の問題点を解決するために研究開発されたもので、本考案の目的は、微量な検体サンプルの採取・排出操作が大変容易く行え、併せて経済性にも優れ、加えて交叉汚染の効果的な防止を図れる呼気・吸気作動用ピペットを提供することである。   The present invention was researched and developed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the purpose of the present invention is to make it very easy to collect and discharge a very small amount of sample sample, and at the same time, it is economical. In addition, the present invention is to provide an exhalation / inspiration pipette that can effectively prevent cross contamination.

上記の目的を達成するために本考案の請求項1に記載の呼気・吸気作動用ピペットは、検体サンプルを受け入れる先端具内の気体の吸引・排出の駆動源が息の吸・排であつて、一対のカップ体からなる気密なハウジングの一端に設けられた吸い口取付け部に吸い口が着脱自在に接続される一方、他端に設けられたチューブ取付け部にチューブが着脱自在に接続され、かつ、前記ハウジングには内部空間を吸い口側とチューブ側とに隔絶する気液不透過性の隔膜が設けられ、前記チューブの先端には前記検体サンプルを受け入れる先端具を着脱自在に接続するための先端具取付け部材が着脱自在に接続されてなるとともに、前記ハウジングはこの先端具取付け部材に対して可及的に前記吸い口側に偏倚して配置されたものである。   In order to achieve the above object, an exhalation / inspiration actuating pipette according to claim 1 of the present invention is configured such that a gas suction / exhaust drive source in a tip receiving a sample is a breath inhalation / exhaust. The suction mouth is detachably connected to the suction mouth mounting portion provided at one end of the airtight housing composed of a pair of cup bodies, while the tube is detachably connected to the tube mounting portion provided at the other end, In addition, the housing is provided with a gas-liquid impermeable diaphragm that isolates the internal space between the mouth side and the tube side, and a distal end tool for receiving the specimen sample is detachably connected to the distal end of the tube. The tip attachment member is detachably connected, and the housing is arranged so as to be biased toward the tip side as much as possible with respect to the tip attachment member.

この呼気・吸気作動用ピペットによれば、吸い口を口に咥えて、息を吸い込むと、この吸引力は、ハウジング内の吸い口側の空間の空気を吸出し、当該空間を減圧する。この減圧に伴って、隔膜が、この吸い口側の空間側に引き込まれる。この隔膜の偏倚によって、この吸い口側の空間と隔膜を隔てて対峙する、つまりチューブ側の空間が減圧される。この減圧はチューブを介して先端具のサンプル空間に伝わり、このサンプル空間が減圧され、当該先端具の先端開口から検体サンプルがサンプル空間内へ吸引されることになる。
逆に、検体サンプルを他の箇所へ排出するには、先端具を所定の箇所へ移動させ、吸い口へ息を吹き込むと、ハウジング内の吸い口側の空間が加圧される。この加圧に伴って、隔膜が、チューブ側の空間内へ押し出される。この隔膜の変位によって、チューブ側の空間が加圧され、この加圧はチューブを介して先端具のサンプル空間に伝わり、このサンプル空間が加圧され、当該先端具の先端開口から検体サンプルが排出される。
According to this exhalation / inhalation operation pipette, when the suction port is held in the mouth and inhaled, the suction force sucks out the air in the space on the suction side in the housing and decompresses the space. With this decompression, the diaphragm is drawn into the space on the suction side. Due to the deviation of the diaphragm, the space on the suction side is opposed to the diaphragm, that is, the space on the tube side is decompressed. This reduced pressure is transmitted to the sample space of the tip tool through the tube, the sample space is decompressed, and the specimen sample is sucked into the sample space from the tip opening of the tip tool.
Conversely, in order to discharge the specimen sample to another location, when the tip is moved to a predetermined location and breath is blown into the suction port, the space on the suction side in the housing is pressurized. With this pressurization, the diaphragm is pushed into the space on the tube side. Due to the displacement of the diaphragm, the space on the tube side is pressurized, and this pressure is transmitted to the sample space of the tip tool through the tube, the sample space is pressurized, and the specimen sample is discharged from the tip opening of the tip tool. Is done.

上記のように構成された呼気・吸気作動用ピペットは、チューブの先端側には先端具取り付け部材、更にこれに挿し込まれた先端具のみが存在していて、ハウジングはこの先端具取り付け部材から可及的に遠く離れた口元近くの吸い口側に偏倚して存在することになる。その結果、例えば顕微鏡などを覗きながらの検体サンプルの操作では、接眼レンズ近く、また、先端具を把持する手元周りには、ピペット全体の嵩としては大きな部分を占めるハウジングが存在しないので、ピペットの操作の自由度が格段に改善され、大変取り扱い易くなった。   In the pipette for exhalation / inhalation operation configured as described above, there is only a tip attachment member on the distal end side of the tube, and only the tip insert inserted therein, and the housing is separated from the tip attachment member. It will be biased to the mouth side near the mouth as far away as possible. As a result, for example, when manipulating a sample while looking into a microscope, there is no housing that occupies a large portion of the overall volume of the pipette near the eyepiece and around the hand holding the tip. The degree of freedom of operation has been greatly improved, making it very easy to handle.

また、ハウジングは先端具から遠く距離を置いた吸い口の近くに位置するために、先端具の直ぐ後ろにハウジングが位置する従来品に比べて、ハウジング内の隔膜の移動による先端具のサンプル空間内に与えられる減圧、加圧作用力が直に影響し難く、長いチューブ内の通気路を介して伝播されることによって、ソフトな減圧、加圧作用力に変化し、瞬間的、かつ、急激な吸入、排出を抑制でき、より微妙な取り扱いを可能にする。   In addition, since the housing is located near the mouthpiece at a distance from the tip, the sample space of the tip due to the movement of the diaphragm in the housing compared to the conventional product in which the housing is located immediately behind the tip. The pressure and pressure acting force applied to the inside is hardly affected directly, and is propagated through the air passage in the long tube to change to soft pressure and pressure acting force. Inhalation and discharge can be suppressed, and more delicate handling is possible.

更に、ハウジング内の隔膜によって、吸い口側の通気路とチューブ側並びに先端具側の各通気路との間が隔絶されているので、吸引すべき検体サンプルに接した空気がチューブを介して吸い口に達することがない。また逆に吸い口からの呼気や唾液がチューブを介し
て先端具に達することもない。したがって、交叉汚染を上手く防止することが出来る。
In addition, the diaphragm in the housing isolates the ventilation path on the suction side from the ventilation path on the tube side and the tip side, so that air in contact with the specimen sample to be aspirated is sucked through the tube. Never reach the mouth. Conversely, exhaled air or saliva from the mouthpiece does not reach the tip through the tube. Therefore, cross contamination can be prevented well.

以上の構成において、この考案では、請求項2に記載のように、隔膜は、前記カップ体の赤道部の開口部平面積よりも広い面積を有してそれ自体が弾性復元性を備えない可撓性の素材からなる薄膜で、呼気・吸気によってのみハウジングの内部空間を吸い口側とチューブ側とに変位可能に構成され、移行後は、次の呼気若しくは吸気のない限り、その位置を保つのが望ましい。
隔膜自体に弾性復元力が生じる従来のものと違って、たとえ吸い口を口元から外しても、ハウジング内の気圧には何ら変化を及ぼさず、検体サンプルを先端具に対して妄りに吸入・排出したり、定量採取に支障を来す等のおそれを未然に防止できる。
In the above configuration, according to the present invention, as described in claim 2, the diaphragm has an area larger than the plane area of the opening of the equator portion of the cup body and may not have elastic resilience itself. It is a thin film made of a flexible material, and the internal space of the housing can be displaced to the suction side and the tube side only by exhalation and inspiration. After the transition, the position is maintained as long as there is no next exhalation or inspiration Is desirable.
Unlike conventional ones, which generate elastic restoring force on the diaphragm itself, even if the suction port is removed from the mouth, the pressure inside the housing does not change at all, and the sample sample is inhaled and discharged from the tip. Or the risk of hindering quantitative sampling can be prevented.

また、請求項3に記載のように、ハウジングは赤道部で吸い口側とチューブ側とに分割された一対のカップ体から成り、赤道部の開放部を対峙させ、当該赤道部に設けられた接続構造部によって互いに一体的に接続され、かつ、当該接続構造部で隔膜も一体に定着してなるのが望ましい。
構造が簡単で、製造も容易である上に、殊に両カップ体が嵌合だけによって接続されている場合には、使用者であっても隔膜の交換なども容易に行えるからである。
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the housing is composed of a pair of cup bodies that are divided into the mouth side and the tube side at the equator portion, and the open portion of the equator portion is opposed to each other, and is provided at the equator portion. It is desirable that the connecting structures are integrally connected to each other, and the diaphragm is also integrally fixed at the connecting structure.
This is because the structure is simple and the manufacture is easy, and particularly when both cup bodies are connected only by fitting, even the user can easily exchange the diaphragm.

更には、請求項4に記載のように、接続構造部は、一方のカップ体の赤道部外壁の外側全周にわたって他方のカップ体に向け一体に延設されたリブと、他方のカップ体の赤道部外壁の外側全周にわたって前記一方のカップ体のリブの外面に接するに足る寸法張り出させて設けて外壁との間で前記一方のカップ体側に向かった開口が解放された挿し込み溝とから構成され、一方のカップ体の前記リブを他方のカップ体の前記挿し込み溝内に隔膜共々挿し込むことで、一体化されるのが望ましい。
隔膜の定着手段並びにハウジングの組み付け手段が簡素で、またハウジング並びに隔膜の組み付けも容易となり、殊に両カップ体が嵌合だけによって接続されている場合には、使用者によってもハウジングや隔膜の組み付け、分解・交換なども容易となるからである。しかも、この挿し込み溝への前記リブの挿し込みに伴って、前記隔膜のこの挿し込み溝上に宛がわれている部分が共に当該挿し込み溝内に押し込まれて、定着されるので、挿し込まれた隔膜がシール部材としての機能を発揮し、挿し込み溝の気密、ひいてはハウジング内の空間の気密を上手く保つからである。
Further, according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the connection structure portion includes a rib integrally extending toward the other cup body over the entire outer circumference of the outer wall of the equator portion of the one cup body, and the other cup body. An insertion groove which is provided with a dimension extending enough to contact the outer surface of the rib of the one cup body over the entire outer circumference of the outer wall of the equator part, and an opening toward the one cup body side is released between the outer wall and the outer wall. It is desirable that the ribs of one cup body be integrated together by inserting the ribs into the insertion groove of the other cup body together.
The means for fixing the diaphragm and the means for assembling the housing are simple, and the housing and the diaphragm can be easily assembled. Especially when both cup bodies are connected only by fitting, the user can also assemble the housing and the diaphragm. This is because disassembly and replacement are also facilitated. Moreover, as the ribs are inserted into the insertion grooves, the portions of the diaphragm that are addressed to the insertion grooves are both pushed into the insertion grooves and fixed, so that the insertion is performed. This is because the separated diaphragm exhibits a function as a sealing member, and keeps the insertion groove airtight, and hence the airtightness of the space in the housing.

また、請求項5に記載のように、ハウジングは外形形状が球体であるのが望ましい。
隔膜を張設した際に、隔膜に掛かるテンションが、例えば角柱などのように一部分に集中して、全周にわたってアンバランスになるものに比べて、全周にわたって均一になり易く、隔膜の位置移動がスムースで、且つ、気圧変化に場所的な差を生じ難い利点があることと、角柱や円柱等に比べて嵩低く構成でき、取り扱い易く、廉価に提供できるからである。
Further, as described in claim 5, it is desirable that the outer shape of the housing is a sphere.
When the diaphragm is stretched, the tension applied to the diaphragm is concentrated on one part, such as a prism, and it is easier to be uniform over the entire circumference than when it is unbalanced over the entire circumference. This is because it is smooth and has an advantage that it is difficult to cause a local difference in atmospheric pressure change, and can be configured to be less bulky than a prism or cylinder, and can be easily handled and inexpensively provided.

隔膜4は、前記ハウジング3の両カップ体9、10の赤道部3Aの辺縁で定着される。また、この隔膜4は、前記赤道部3Aの開放部の平面積よりも広い平面積を有し、それ自体が弾性復元性を備えない可撓性のある薄膜シートで構成されている。素材はシリコーン樹脂の薄膜シートを採用している。シートの厚みは、検体サンプル8の採取量によって適宜に選択されるが、本実施例の場合は、0.04〜0.12mmで、好ましくは0.05
〜0.1mmの範囲から適宜の厚さのものが採用される。
The diaphragm 4 is fixed at the edge of the equatorial part 3 </ b> A of the cup bodies 9, 10 of the housing 3. The diaphragm 4 has a flat area larger than the flat area of the open portion of the equatorial part 3A, and is composed of a flexible thin film sheet that does not have elastic resilience. The material is a thin film of silicone resin. The thickness of the sheet is appropriately selected depending on the collection amount of the specimen sample 8, but in the case of this embodiment, it is 0.04 to 0.12 mm, preferably 0.05.
The thing of appropriate thickness is employ | adopted from the range of -0.1mm.

前記隔膜4をハウジング3内に装着するには、チューブ側のカップ体10の赤道部3Aの開放部に隔膜4を載置する。次いで、その中心部分をこのチューブ側のカップ体10の空間S2内へ、中心部分がこのカップ体10の頂部(極部)近くに至るまで適宜に押し込む。これによって隔膜4は、図1に示すように、中央部分が大きく空間S2内へ凹んだ形で収容される。引き続き、吸い口側のカップ体9の前記リブ121を前記チューブ側のカップ体10の前記挿し込み溝13上に宛がう。この状態から、両カップ体9、10を互いに近づくように押し合うことで、前記吸い口側のカップ体9の前記リブ121が前記チューブ側のカップ体10の前記挿し込み溝13に挿し込まれる。この挿し込み溝13への前記リブ121の嵌合に伴って、前記隔膜4のこの挿し込み溝13上に宛がわれている部分が共に当該挿し込み溝13内に押し込まれて、定着される。挿し込み溝13の幅は前記リブ121を挿入するに足るだけの狭い幅であるために、押し込まれた隔膜4がシール部材としての機能を発揮し、挿し込み溝13の気密を上手く保ち、ひいてはハウジング3内の気密を上手く保つ。   In order to mount the diaphragm 4 in the housing 3, the diaphragm 4 is placed on the open part of the equatorial part 3 </ b> A of the tube-side cup body 10. Next, the central portion is appropriately pushed into the space S2 of the tube-side cup body 10 until the central portion is close to the top (pole) of the cup body 10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the diaphragm 4 is accommodated in a shape in which the central portion is greatly recessed into the space S2. Subsequently, the rib 121 of the cup body 9 on the mouthpiece side is put on the insertion groove 13 of the cup body 10 on the tube side. From this state, by pressing the cup bodies 9 and 10 closer to each other, the rib 121 of the cup body 9 on the mouthpiece side is inserted into the insertion groove 13 of the cup body 10 on the tube side. . Along with the fitting of the rib 121 to the insertion groove 13, both the portions of the diaphragm 4 that are addressed on the insertion groove 13 are pushed into the insertion groove 13 and fixed. . Since the width of the insertion groove 13 is narrow enough to insert the rib 121, the inserted diaphragm 4 functions as a seal member, and the insertion groove 13 is kept airtight well, The airtightness in the housing 3 is kept good.

従って、この隔膜4はそれ自体が弾性復元性を備えない可撓性を備えた薄膜シートであるから、隔膜4よって形成されるハウジング3内の二つの空間、つまり吸い口側の空間S1とチューブ側の空間S2との間を呼気・吸気に伴って、自在に移行でき、移行後は、次の呼気もしくは吸気がない限り、その位置を保つ。これによって、隔膜4自体に弾性復元力が生じる従来のものと違って、吸い口2を口元から外しても、ハウジング3内の気圧には何ら変化を及ぼさず、検体サンプル8を先端具7に妄りに吸入・排出したり、定量採取に支障を来すおそれ等を未然に防止できる。   Accordingly, since the diaphragm 4 is a flexible thin film sheet that does not itself have elastic resilience, two spaces in the housing 3 formed by the diaphragm 4, that is, the mouth side space S 1 and the tube. It is possible to move freely between the side space S2 along with exhalation / inspiration, and after the transition, the position is maintained as long as there is no next exhalation or inspiration. Thus, unlike the conventional case in which an elastic restoring force is generated in the diaphragm 4 itself, even if the suction mouth 2 is removed from the mouth, there is no change in the atmospheric pressure in the housing 3, and the specimen sample 8 is attached to the tip tool 7. It is possible to prevent inhalation / exhaustion due to delusion and the possibility of disturbing quantitative collection.

先端具取り付け部材5は、内部に通気路5Aを一体に備えた中空筒体である。通気路5Aの前記チューブ6側の開口5Bには接続アタッチメント16が、チューブ6側に一部を突出させて、着脱自在に差し込まれ、その突出部分16Aに前記チューブ6の他端が着脱自在に外嵌合される。また、この先端具取り付け部材5の他方側は順次先広がりの挿し込み孔5Cに形成されていて、当該挿し込み孔5Cに先端具7が着脱自在に挿し込まれる。この先端具7は、本実施例では、図示するように、マイクロピペット用としての細径ガラス管に適用できるように構成されている。また、先端具取り付け部材5は、弾性があり、且つ、可撓性のある素材、一例としてシリコーン樹脂で形成されているため、先端具7が細径ガラス管であったとしても、その外表面にうまく馴染み、気密性を上手く保つ。   The tip attachment member 5 is a hollow cylindrical body integrally provided with an air passage 5A. A connection attachment 16 is detachably inserted into the opening 5B on the tube 6 side of the air passage 5A, with a part protruding toward the tube 6, and the other end of the tube 6 is detachably attached to the protruding portion 16A. It is fitted outside. Further, the other end of the tip attachment member 5 is formed in an insertion hole 5C that gradually widens, and the tip 7 is removably inserted into the insertion hole 5C. In this embodiment, the tip tool 7 is configured to be applicable to a small-diameter glass tube for a micropipette as shown in the figure. Further, since the tip attachment member 5 is made of an elastic and flexible material, for example, a silicone resin, the outer surface of the tip attachment 7 is not limited to a small diameter glass tube. Familiarize yourself and keep it airtight.

チューブ6は、内部に通気路6Aを備えた、弾性変形可能で可撓性のある中空体である。本実施例で採用されるチューブ6の長さは30cmである。このチューブ6の長さは、必要に応じて適宜選択される。このチューブ6の前記通気路6Aの直径は前記ハウジング3のチューブ側のカップ体10に設けられている接続部10Aの外径とほぼ同等に形成されていて、一端がこのチューブ側のカップ体10の前記接続部10Aに外嵌合される。   The tube 6 is an elastically deformable and flexible hollow body having an air passage 6A therein. The length of the tube 6 employed in this embodiment is 30 cm. The length of the tube 6 is appropriately selected as necessary. The diameter of the air passage 6 </ b> A of the tube 6 is formed substantially equal to the outer diameter of the connecting portion 10 </ b> A provided in the tube side cup body 10 of the housing 3, and one end is the tube side cup body 10. Is externally fitted to the connecting portion 10A.

前記吸い口2、ハウジング3、隔膜4、先端具取り付け部材5、チューブ6、先端具7、短いチューブ11、リブ12、更には接続アタッチメント16は、交叉汚染を未然に防止すことに加えて、検体サンプル8の清浄性を保ち、またデーター等の信頼性を高度に保つと言うこの種ピペットの特性上から、天然ゴムのように可塑剤などが揮散しないように、合成樹脂素材が望ましく、具体的にはポリ塩化ビニル、シリコーン樹脂、更にはポリプロピレンやポリエチレン等が採用される。   In addition to preventing the cross contamination, the mouthpiece 2, the housing 3, the diaphragm 4, the tip attachment member 5, the tube 6, the tip 7, the short tube 11, the rib 12, and the connection attachment 16 From the characteristics of this type of pipette, which maintains the cleanliness of the specimen sample 8 and the reliability of data, etc., a synthetic resin material is desirable to prevent the plasticizer from evaporating like natural rubber. Specifically, polyvinyl chloride, silicone resin, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. are employed.

本実施形態では、図1に示される各部品が互いに接続された状態において、吸い口2を口に咥えて、息を吸い込む。この吸引力は、短いチューブ11の通気路11Aを介してハウジング3内の吸い口側の空間S1内の空気を吸出し、当該空間S1を減圧する。この減
圧に伴って、隔膜4が、図2中、空間S2に想像線で示す位置から、空間S1側の実線で示す位置へ引き込まれる。この隔膜4の移行によって、この吸い口側の空間S1と隔膜4を隔てて対峙する、つまりチューブ側の空間S2が減圧される。この減圧はチューブ6の通気路6Aを介して先端具7のサンプル空間7Aに伝わり、このサンプル空間7Aが減圧され、当該先端具7の先端開口7Bから検体サンプル(図例では培養液)8がサンプル空間7A内へ吸引されることになる。
In the present embodiment, in the state where the components shown in FIG. 1 are connected to each other, the mouthpiece 2 is held in the mouth and the breath is inhaled. This suction force sucks out air in the suction side space S1 in the housing 3 through the air passage 11A of the short tube 11, and decompresses the space S1. With this decompression, the diaphragm 4 is drawn from the position indicated by the imaginary line in the space S2 to the position indicated by the solid line on the space S1 side in FIG. By the transition of the diaphragm 4, the space S 1 on the suction side faces the diaphragm 4, that is, the space S 2 on the tube side is decompressed. This reduced pressure is transmitted to the sample space 7A of the tip tool 7 through the air passage 6A of the tube 6, the sample space 7A is reduced in pressure, and a specimen sample (culture liquid in the example) 8 is discharged from the tip opening 7B of the tip tool 7. It will be sucked into the sample space 7A.

逆に、検体サンプル8を他の箇所へ排出するには、先端具7を所定の箇所へ移動させ、図2に示された状態から、吸い口2へ息を吹き込むと、ハウジング3内の隔膜4が図2の実線で示される吸い口側の空間S1から、図1の実線で示されるチューブ側の空間S2へ移行される。この隔膜4の移行は、チューブ側の空間S2内の気体をチューブ6の通気路6Aから先端具取り付け部材5の通気路5Aを介して先端具7のサンプル空間7A内を加圧し、当該サンプル空間7A内に納められている検体サンプル8を開口7Bから排出する。   Conversely, in order to discharge the specimen sample 8 to another location, the tip 7 is moved to a predetermined location, and when the breath is blown into the mouthpiece 2 from the state shown in FIG. 4 is moved from the suction-side space S1 indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2 to the tube-side space S2 indicated by the solid line in FIG. The transition of the diaphragm 4 is performed by pressurizing the gas in the space S2 on the tube side from the ventilation path 6A of the tube 6 through the ventilation path 5A of the distal end tool mounting member 5 into the sample space 7A of the distal end tool 7. The specimen sample 8 stored in 7A is discharged from the opening 7B.

本実施形態では、ハウジング3内の隔膜4によって、吸い口2側の通気路2A、11Aとチューブ6側並びに先端具7側の夫々の通気路6A、7Aとの間が隔絶されているので、吸引すべき検体サンプル8に接した空気がチューブ6を介して吸い口2に達することがない。また逆に吸い口2からの呼気や唾液がチューブ6を介して先端具7に達することもない。したがって、交叉汚染を上手く防止することが出来る。   In the present embodiment, the diaphragm 4 in the housing 3 separates the air passages 2A and 11A on the suction mouth 2 side from the air passages 6A and 7A on the tube 6 side and the distal end tool 7 side. Air in contact with the specimen sample 8 to be aspirated does not reach the mouthpiece 2 via the tube 6. Conversely, exhaled air or saliva from the mouthpiece 2 does not reach the tip 7 through the tube 6. Therefore, cross contamination can be prevented well.

しかも、隔膜4は、前記の通り、それ自体が弾性復元性を備えない可撓性を備えた薄膜シートであるから、このハウジング3内の空間を呼気・吸気に伴って、ハウジング3内の吸い口側の空間S1とチューブ側の空間S2とに自在に移行でき、移行後は、次の呼気若しくは吸気がない限り、その位置を保つ。これによって、隔膜4自体に弾性復元力が生じる従来のものと違って、たとえ吸い口2を口元から外しても、ハウジング3内の気圧には何ら変化を及ぼさず、検体サンプル8を先端具7に対して妄りに吸入・排出したり、定量採取に支障を来す等のおそれを未然に防止できる。   Moreover, as described above, the diaphragm 4 is a flexible thin film sheet that does not have elastic resilience as described above. Therefore, the space in the housing 3 is sucked into the housing 3 along with exhalation and inspiration. It is possible to freely move between the mouth-side space S1 and the tube-side space S2, and after the transition, the position is maintained as long as there is no next expiration or inspiration. Thus, unlike the conventional case in which an elastic restoring force is generated in the diaphragm 4 itself, even if the suction mouth 2 is removed from the mouth, the air pressure in the housing 3 is not changed, and the specimen sample 8 is removed from the tip 7. Against the danger of inhaling and discharging in a delusion and hindering quantitative sampling.

更に、また、チューブ6の先端側には細径の先端具取り付け部材5、更にこれに挿し込まれた先端具7のみが存在していて、ハウジング3はこの先端具取り付け部材5から可及的に遠く離れた口元近くの吸い口2側に偏倚して存在することになる。その結果、例えば顕微鏡などを覗きながらの検体サンプル8の操作では、接眼レンズ近く、また、先端具7を把持する手元周りには、ピペット全体の嵩としては大きな部分を占めるハウジング3が存在しないので、ピペット1の操作の自由度が格段に改善され、大変取り扱い易い。   Furthermore, only a small-diameter tip tool mounting member 5 and a tip tool 7 inserted into the tube 6 are present on the tip side of the tube 6, and the housing 3 is possible from the tip tool mounting member 5. It is biased to the mouthpiece 2 near the mouth far away. As a result, for example, in the operation of the specimen sample 8 while looking through a microscope, the housing 3 occupying a large portion of the bulk of the entire pipette does not exist near the eyepiece and around the hand gripping the tip tool 7. The degree of freedom of operation of the pipette 1 is remarkably improved and it is very easy to handle.

また、ハウジング3は先端具7から遠く距離を置いた吸い口2の近くに位置するために、先端具の直ぐ後ろにハウジングが位置する従来品に比べて、ハウジング3内の隔膜の移行による先端具7のサンプル空間7A内に与えられる減圧、加圧作用力が直接的には影響し難く、長いチューブ6内の通気路6Aを介して伝播されることによって、ソフトな減圧、加圧作用力に変化し、瞬間的、かつ急激な吸入、排出を抑制でき、より微妙な取り扱いを可能にする。   Further, since the housing 3 is located near the mouthpiece 2 at a distance from the tip 7, the tip due to the transition of the diaphragm in the housing 3 is compared to the conventional product in which the housing is located immediately behind the tip. The pressure reducing and pressurizing force applied to the sample space 7A of the tool 7 is not directly affected, and is propagated through the air passage 6A in the long tube 6 so that the soft pressure reducing and pressurizing force is applied. It is possible to suppress instantaneous and sudden inhalation and excretion, and enable more delicate handling.

なお、図例では両接続部2B、9Aを短いチューブ11で接続する例を示したが、図3に示すように、吸い口2の接続部2Bの内径を前記吸い口側の接続部9Aの外径と同等にして、吸い口2の接続部2Bをこの吸い口側のカップ体9の接続部9Aに直に嵌め込む構成も採用できる。   In addition, although the example which connected both connection parts 2B and 9A with the short tube 11 was shown in the example of a figure, as shown in FIG. 3, the internal diameter of the connection part 2B of the suction mouth 2 is set to the connection part 9A of the said suction mouth side. A configuration in which the connection portion 2B of the suction mouth 2 is directly fitted into the connection portion 9A of the cup body 9 on the suction mouth side can be employed in the same manner as the outer diameter.

また、このハウジング3を構成するにあたっては、必要に応じて、差し込み溝13内に適宜に接着剤(図外)を流し込み、この接着剤によって隔膜4と差し込み溝13の内面を
接着したり、熱溶着することで一体的若しくは一体に接続できる。より一層高い気密性を確保する場合に有効な手段である。この他、図4に示すように、両カップ体9、10を嵌合した後にできる吸い口側のカップ体9とチューブ側のカップ体10との前記接続構造部12に出来る段差部分14を接着剤15で接合する手段も採用できる。
Further, when the housing 3 is configured, an adhesive (not shown) is appropriately poured into the insertion groove 13 as necessary, and the diaphragm 4 and the inner surface of the insertion groove 13 are adhered by this adhesive, It can be connected integrally or integrally by welding. This is an effective means for securing higher airtightness. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the stepped portion 14 formed on the connection structure portion 12 between the cup-side cup body 9 and the tube-side cup body 10 formed after the cup bodies 9 and 10 are fitted is bonded. A means for joining with the agent 15 can also be adopted.

更に、ハウジング3は、図5に示すように、前記リブ12を設けずに、両カップ体9、10の直径を同じにして、赤道部3Aの前記外壁9a、10aの辺縁9b、10b同士を、間に前記隔膜4を挟持させた状態で、この隔膜4共々に直接に接着剤(図外)や熱溶着等の手段で一体的に接続する手段も採用できる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the housing 3 does not have the ribs 12, and both cup bodies 9 and 10 have the same diameter, and the edges 9 b and 10 b of the outer walls 9 a and 10 a of the equatorial part 3 </ b> A are In the state where the diaphragm 4 is sandwiched between them, it is also possible to adopt a means for directly connecting the diaphragms 4 together by means such as an adhesive (not shown) or heat welding.

また、先端具取り付け部材5とチューブ6との接続には接続アタッチメント16が採用されているが、この構造に代えて、図6に示すように、先端具取り付け部材5に一体に接続筒部5Bを設けることもできる。
具体的には、この接続筒部 5Bは、外周りの直径をチューブ6の通気路6Aの直径よりもやや長めにして、先端具取り付け部材5の上端から一体に突設されている。部品点数を少なくした、より廉価に提供できる上に、製造の手間、接続の手間を少なくできる上で有利である。
In addition, a connection attachment 16 is employed for connecting the tip tool attaching member 5 and the tube 6, but instead of this structure, as shown in FIG. 6, the connecting tube portion 5 </ b> B is integrally formed with the tip tool attaching member 5. Can also be provided.
Specifically, the connecting cylinder portion 5B is integrally protruded from the upper end of the distal end tool attaching member 5 so that the outer diameter is slightly longer than the diameter of the air passage 6A of the tube 6. This is advantageous in that it can be provided at a lower cost with a reduced number of parts, and can be reduced in labor and manufacturing.

また、図例では、挿し込み溝13をチューブ側のカップ体に10に設け、吸い口側のカップ体の9の辺縁9bのリブ121をこれに挿し込む構成を示しているが、逆の構成、すなわち、挿し込み溝13を吸い口側のカップ体9に設け、チューブ側のカップ体10の辺縁10bに設けたリブをこれに挿し込む構成であっても同等の作用効果が得られることは言うまでもない。   Further, in the illustrated example, the insertion groove 13 is provided in the tube body 10 on the tube side, and the rib 121 of the 9 edge 9b of the cup body on the mouthpiece side is inserted into this. Even if the structure, that is, the structure in which the insertion groove 13 is provided in the cup body 9 on the mouthpiece side and the rib provided on the edge 10b of the cup body 10 on the tube side is inserted into this, the same effect can be obtained. Needless to say.
