Description
本発明は、飲料関連成分の輸送および供給のための流体包装容器に関する。そのような流体包装容器は、該流体包装容器に対してホストとして振る舞う飲料調製と分配の装置において、交換可能な構成要素を形成する。 The present invention relates to a fluid packaging container for the transport and supply of beverage related ingredients. Such fluid packaging containers form a replaceable component in beverage preparation and dispensing devices that act as hosts for the fluid packaging containers.
とりわけそのような流体包装容器は、本出願人の国際公開第00/79223号で知られている。そのような容器は、飲料調製と分配のシステムにおいて、コーヒー、チョコレート、乳製品、ミルクまたは紅茶の濃厚物の分配に役立つ。これら公知の容器はバッグインボックス(bag-in-box)型であり、可撓性バッグの容積は、濃縮された飲料成分がそこから引き出されると同時に減少させられる。これらパッケージは、その上部空間に対する何らかの制御を与えるけれども、長い使用期間にわたって上部空間の空気から飲料濃厚物のあらゆる劣化を取り除くことにおいては全体的には効果的でなかった。或る使用については、上部空間を様々な仕方で制御する必要性が残されている。従来技術であるバッグインボックス型容器の他の問題は、それらが金属層を備えられるときは、製造するのに高価であり、かつそれらの廃棄が環境問題としばしば関係することである。 In particular, such a fluid packaging container is known from the applicant's WO 00/79223. Such containers are useful for dispensing coffee, chocolate, dairy, milk or tea concentrates in beverage preparation and dispensing systems. These known containers are of the bag-in-box type, and the volume of the flexible bag is reduced at the same time as the concentrated beverage ingredients are withdrawn therefrom. Although these packages give some control over their headspace, they have not been totally effective in removing any deterioration of the beverage concentrate from the headspace air over a long period of use. For some uses, there remains a need to control the headspace in various ways. Another problem with the prior art bag-in-box containers is that when they are provided with a metal layer, they are expensive to manufacture and their disposal is often associated with environmental problems.
したがって、従来技術の欠陥の少なくとも1つを克服または改善することが本発明の目的である。組立および操作においてより扱いやすく、かつさらに比較的に安価に製作されうるところの代替的構成を提供することもまた本発明の目的である。あるいは少なくとも公衆に便利な選択を提供することも、本発明の目的である。 Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the deficiencies of the prior art. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an alternative arrangement that is easier to handle in assembly and operation and can be made relatively inexpensively. Alternatively, it is also an object of the present invention to provide at least a convenient choice for the public.
この目的のために本発明は、添付された請求項の任意の1つに規定されているような、および実質的に本明細書に以下で記載されているような、および図面で説明されているような流体包装容器を提供する。 For this purpose the invention is as defined in any one of the appended claims and substantially as described herein below and illustrated in the drawings. A fluid packaging container is provided.
図1を参照すると、一般に内部空間を画定する、剛性または半剛性の固定容積貯蔵チャンバー(3)を有する流体包装容器(1)が示されている。貯蔵チャンバー(3)の該内部空間は、液体飲料成分の第1容積部(5)および気体の上部容積部(7)を含むことが示されている。流体包装容器(1)は、さらに液体出口(9)を有しており、該液体出口(9)は参照番号11で一般に指示される弁を備えるであろう。番号11は、従来の設計、例えば、ほんの数例を挙げれば、能動的に操作されるポペット弁、または受動的に操作される逆止め弁(一方向弁)でありえる。
Referring to FIG. 1, a fluid packaging container (1) is shown having a rigid or semi-rigid fixed volume storage chamber (3) that generally defines an interior space. The internal space of the storage chamber (3) is shown to contain a first volume (5) of liquid beverage ingredients and an upper volume (7) of gas. The fluid packaging container (1) further has a liquid outlet (9), which will comprise a valve generally indicated by
また図1には、流体包装容器(1)が、細孔膜(13)の形態での均圧手段を有することが示されている。細孔膜(13)は、液体が液体出口(9)を通して第1容積部(5)から抜かれたときに第2容積部(7)において所定の圧力を維持するために、供給気体、例えば外気と連絡するための入口(15)を画定する。 FIG. 1 also shows that the fluid packaging container (1) has pressure equalizing means in the form of a pore membrane (13). The microporous membrane (13) is provided with a supply gas, eg outside air, to maintain a predetermined pressure in the second volume (7) when the liquid is withdrawn from the first volume (5) through the liquid outlet (9). Defines an inlet (15) for communicating with
使用中、流体包装容器(1)は、飲料調製および分配ホスティングステーションへ作動可能に接続されるであろう。そして第1および第2容積部(5、7)は、それによって各々、実質的にゼロの容積と、貯蔵チャンバー(3)により画定された全内部空間に実質的に対応する容積との間で、可変になるであろう。事実、第1および第2容積部(5、7)は、互いに相補的であり、これらが一緒に内部空間を満たす。それ故に、液体成分の一部分が、矢印(17)で示されるように出口(9)を介して貯蔵チャンバー(3)から排出され、そして、気体の適切な供給が、矢印(19)で示されるように入口(15)を介して貯蔵チャンバー(3)の第2容積部(7)に入ることを許される。例えば、貯蔵チャンバーから液体を排出する速度が気体または空気を入れる速度を上回るときに、第2容積部に入ることができた気体または空気は、或る遅延を伴って入ることがありうる。適切な範囲内では、流入フローと流出フロー間のそのような差異は操作上のいかなる困難も引き起こさない。 In use, the fluid packaging container (1) will be operatively connected to a beverage preparation and dispensing hosting station. And the first and second volumes (5, 7) are each between a substantially zero volume and a volume substantially corresponding to the entire interior space defined by the storage chamber (3). Will be variable. In fact, the first and second volumes (5, 7) are complementary to each other and they together fill the interior space. Therefore, a portion of the liquid component is evacuated from the storage chamber (3) via the outlet (9) as indicated by the arrow (17) and a suitable supply of gas is indicated by the arrow (19). Is allowed to enter the second volume (7) of the storage chamber (3) via the inlet (15). For example, gas or air that could enter the second volume may enter with some delay when the rate at which liquid is discharged from the storage chamber exceeds the rate at which gas or air is entered. Within the proper range, such a difference between inflow and outflow does not cause any operational difficulties.
拡大された詳細図として図1に追加的に示されている細孔膜(13)は、製品が分配されるとき、第2容積部(7)内の圧力を均等にする無菌性通気手段を提供している。第1容積部(5)の液体成分の劣化および汚染は、それによって防止されうる。適切な細孔物質は、商標「ゴアテックス(Gore-Tex)」の下に、W.L. Gore & Associates,Inc.社から入手し得る、広げられたポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)物質である。この物質は、0.2μmのサイズの孔で利用可能であり、この孔は、エアロゾル粒子、細菌およびウイルスの99.9999%を阻止することができる。これ以外の可能性のある適切な物質は、商標「Tyvek」の下に、E.I. de Pont de Nemours, Inc.社から入手可能なポリエチレン繊維の気体透過シートでありうる。等価な物質は、DSMのような別の供給者からも入手可能である。そのような細孔膜の重要な性質は、液体、粒子および病原体を食い止めながら、これら膜が、気体および外気の無菌通気を可能にすることである。このような膜は、使用された物質が食品グレードに合致し、かつ衛生的な条件の下での製造および取扱が保証されうるとき、食品チェーン店の適合性承認に合致しうる。 The pore membrane (13), additionally shown in FIG. 1 as an enlarged detail, provides a sterile venting means that equalizes the pressure in the second volume (7) when the product is dispensed. providing. Deterioration and contamination of the liquid component of the first volume (5) can thereby be prevented. A suitable porous material is the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material available from W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. under the trademark “Gore-Tex”. This material is available with pores of 0.2 μm size, which can block 99.9999% of aerosol particles, bacteria and viruses. Another possible suitable material may be a gas permeable sheet of polyethylene fiber available from E.I. de Pont de Nemours, Inc. under the trademark “Tyvek”. Equivalent materials are also available from other suppliers such as DSM. An important property of such microporous membranes is that they allow aseptic aeration of gases and outside air while retaining liquids, particles and pathogens. Such membranes can meet food chain store suitability approvals when the materials used meet food grade and can be guaranteed to be manufactured and handled under hygienic conditions.
液体出口(9)は、飲料分配ホスティングステーション(図示されていないが、従来のもの)と連絡するように一般に配置されるであろうから、そのような分配ステーションはまた、均圧手段(13、15)を飲料分配ステーションと結び付けられた適切な気体供給装置へ接続するための設備を有することができる。 Since the liquid outlet (9) will generally be arranged to communicate with a beverage dispensing hosting station (not shown but conventional), such a dispensing station also includes a pressure equalizing means (13, 15) can be provided for connecting to a suitable gas supply device associated with the beverage dispensing station.
図2に、本発明に従う流体包装容器の代替形態(101)が示されている。この流体包装容器(101)は、一般に四角形の(tetraedic)外部形状を有する剛性または半剛性の貯蔵チャンバー(103)を再び画定している。そのような四角形の外部形状は輸送において、しかしまた飲料調製および分配ホスティングステーションとの協働において利点がありうる。後者の場合、四角形の形状は、そのようなホスティングステーション上に流体包装容器(101)を正確に設置する際に助けになる。図2に示された流体包装容器(101)は、さらに液体出口(109)および駆動接続部(123)を収容するための陥没部(121)を有し、該駆動接続部(123)は、貯蔵チャンバー(103)内で、流体出口(109)の上流、および好ましくはまた液体出口(109)に連結した流体弁の上流に置かれうる配量ポンプに駆動力を提供するためである。該陥没部(121)内へのそのような付属品の搭載によって、輸送の間これらは保護され、また、流体包装容器(101)を飲料調製ホスティングステーションへ接続する際のその取り扱い中に、損傷を受けにくいであろう。 FIG. 2 shows an alternative form (101) of a fluid packaging container according to the invention. The fluid packaging container (101) again defines a rigid or semi-rigid storage chamber (103) having a generally tetraedic outer shape. Such a rectangular external shape can be advantageous in transport, but also in cooperation with beverage preparation and dispensing hosting stations. In the latter case, the square shape helps in correctly placing the fluid packaging container (101) on such a hosting station. The fluid packaging container (101) shown in FIG. 2 further has a recess (121) for accommodating the liquid outlet (109) and the drive connection (123), the drive connection (123) This is to provide a driving force to a metering pump that can be placed in the storage chamber (103) upstream of the fluid outlet (109) and preferably also upstream of the fluid valve connected to the liquid outlet (109). By mounting such accessories in the depression (121) they are protected during transport and are also damaged during their handling when connecting the fluid packaging container (101) to the beverage preparation hosting station. It will be difficult to receive.
しかし、図1の包装容器(1)の丸い形からまたは図2の包装容器(101)の四角形若しくは平行パイプ型から離れ、他の形状が等しく可能であることは、当業者にとって明確であろう。ことによると、また包装容器は、丸い部分と四角形の部分との組合せでありうる。 However, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that other shapes are equally possible away from the round shape of the packaging container (1) of FIG. 1 or from the square or parallel pipe shape of the packaging container (101) of FIG. . Perhaps the packaging container may also be a combination of round and square parts.
貯蔵チャンバー(103)の頂点部分に、均圧接続部(115)が備えられる。本発明の特別の実施態様においては、この均圧接続部(115)は、また容器内の超過圧力を先ず創り出すのに使用されうる。このことは、半剛性の容器が使われるときに、特に利点がありうる。なぜならば、それは輸送のために包装容器を強化し、そして積み上げる高さを増すことを可能にするからである。わずかの超過圧力は、また使用中に正確に配量するのに助けになりうる。 A pressure equalizing connection (115) is provided at the apex of the storage chamber (103). In a particular embodiment of the invention, this pressure equalization connection (115) can also be used to first create an overpressure in the container. This can be particularly advantageous when semi-rigid containers are used. This is because it makes it possible to strengthen the packaging container for transport and increase the stacking height. A slight overpressure can also help to accurately dispense during use.
飲料ホスティングシステムにおける包装容器(103)の使用中に超過圧力が維持されねばならないときは、均圧接続部(115)は、この飲料ホスティングステーションにかかっている圧力下での気体供給部へ気密な状態で接続可能である。 When overpressure must be maintained during use of the packaging container (103) in the beverage hosting system, the pressure equalization connection (115) is airtight to the gas supply under pressure applied to this beverage hosting station. Can be connected in the state.
均圧接続部(115)が、流体包装容器(101)を充填する間でだけ使われ、一方、第2容積部と連絡している気体供給部は、貯蔵チャンバー(103)の内部に収容されることは、しかしまた考えられることである。そのような気体の供給部は、気体吸収性または吸着性を備える多孔性物質でありうる。そのような多孔性物質の例は、粒状活性炭または炭素繊維複合体分子篩(CFCMS)のである。そのような代替の一例として、この技術をエアロゾル缶との関係で教えている米国特許第6708844号明細書が参照される。同様に、包装容器(101)内の気体の内部供給部は、エアロゾル容器としても知られているように、圧力容器と圧力制御弁アセンブリとの組合せによって形成されることがまた考えられうる。この後者の代替案の例は、米国特許第5011047号明細書および米国特許第5562235号明細書で記載されており、これらは引用されることによって本明細書に組み込まれる。 The pressure equalizing connection (115) is used only while filling the fluid packaging container (101), while the gas supply in communication with the second volume is housed inside the storage chamber (103). But it is also conceivable. Such a gas supply unit may be a porous material having gas absorbability or adsorptivity. Examples of such porous materials are granular activated carbon or carbon fiber composite molecular sieves (CFCMS). As an example of such an alternative, reference is made to US Pat. No. 6,708,844, which teaches this technique in the context of aerosol cans. Similarly, it can also be envisaged that the internal supply of gas in the packaging container (101) is formed by a combination of a pressure container and a pressure control valve assembly, also known as an aerosol container. Examples of this latter alternative are described in US Pat. No. 5,110,047 and US Pat. No. 5,562,235, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
気体、殺菌された気体若しくは無菌外気が包装容器内に入れられるとき、包装容器内の流体濃厚物の酸化または劣化を防止する手段を備えることは、本発明に関連してさらに有用でありうる。この目的のために、液体容積部と気体容積部との間の接触を減らしまたは除外するために、気密フロートが液体容積部の最上部に備えられうる。同様に、液体の上に浮かぶ、非溶解性食品グレードのオイルの形態の液体シールは、該2つの容積部の間のいかなる接触も除外しうる。事実、そのような液体シールは、第1と第2の容積部の容積が変化する間に、一定容積を維持する第3の容積部を形成する。そのような実施形態においては、第1、第2および第3の容積部は、使用中、包装容器の内部空間を連続的に満たし、一定容積の第3容積部が第1容積部と第2容積部を分離する。 It may be further useful in connection with the present invention to provide means for preventing oxidation or degradation of the fluid concentrate in the packaging container when gas, sterilized gas or sterile ambient air is placed in the packaging container. For this purpose, an airtight float can be provided at the top of the liquid volume in order to reduce or eliminate contact between the liquid volume and the gas volume. Similarly, a liquid seal in the form of a non-dissolvable food grade oil that floats above the liquid can exclude any contact between the two volumes. In fact, such a liquid seal forms a third volume that maintains a constant volume while the volumes of the first and second volumes change. In such an embodiment, the first, second, and third volume portions continuously fill the interior space of the packaging container during use, and the third volume portion with a constant volume is the first volume portion and the second volume portion. Separate the volume.
上に説明されたように、流体包装容器の上部容積部内に満たされた超過加圧された気体の使用は、特に半剛性容器、例えば積層ボール紙で実質的に形成されたものの使用を可能にする。そのような包装容器は、これまで使われてきたバッグインボックス(bag-in-box)型容器よりも、一般的に一層環境的に受け入れられやすい。ボール紙容器は、製作がより容易であり、資源を余り使わず、捨てるときコンパクトにすることが容易である。流体出口およびホスティングステーションのためのインタフェース接続のための適切な付属品が、米国特許第4483464号明細書および米国特許第5088643号明細書で説明されているように、ボール紙包装容器に接続されることができ、これらは引用されることによって本明細書に組み込まれる。 As explained above, the use of over-pressurized gas filled in the upper volume of the fluid packaging container allows the use of semi-rigid containers, such as those substantially formed of laminated cardboard, in particular. To do. Such packaging containers are generally more environmentally acceptable than the bag-in-box type containers that have been used so far. Cardboard containers are easier to manufacture, use less resources and are easier to compact when thrown away. Appropriate accessories for interface connections for fluid outlets and hosting stations are connected to the cardboard packaging container as described in US Pat. No. 4,483,464 and US Pat. No. 5,088,463. Which are incorporated herein by reference.
別の代替的な実施態様においては、流体包装容器は、輸送中は大気圧よりも上に加圧された気体のみで充填された第2容積部を有している。図1を参照して記載された実施態様におけるように、流体包装容器は、細孔通気手段を有しうる。輸送中に加圧条件を維持し続けるために、通気膜は、ホスティングシステム上または内に容器を装填する前にユーザーによって除去される予定の開封明示(タンパーエビデント)シールによって封止されうる。開封明示シールの除去中の何らかの気体の漏れは、内容物が新鮮な状態に保たれたことをユーザーへ追加的に確認させるであろう。使用中、容器はその後、細孔膜によって無菌的に外気へ排気されうる。 In another alternative embodiment, the fluid packaging container has a second volume filled only with a gas pressurized above atmospheric pressure during transport. As in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, the fluid packaging container may have pore venting means. In order to continue to maintain pressurized conditions during shipping, the vent membrane may be sealed with a tamper evident seal that is to be removed by the user prior to loading the container on or in the hosting system. Any gas leak during the removal of the tamper evident seal will additionally cause the user to confirm that the contents have been kept fresh. During use, the container can then be aseptically vented to the outside air by means of a porous membrane.
もし当初の超過加圧された気体の充填が、殺菌空気充填、不活性気体の充填またはコーヒー、チョコレート若しくは紅茶の香気を含むそのような気体充填の一つであるとすると、別の利点がありうる。そのようなケースでは、無菌の通気手段として細孔膜を使うよりも、無菌弁を使うことが考えられる。 If the initial over-pressurized gas filling is one of such gas fillings including sterilizing air filling, inert gas filling or coffee, chocolate or tea aroma, there is another advantage sell. In such a case, it is conceivable to use a sterile valve rather than a pore membrane as a sterile ventilation means.
また、液体出口(9、109)に連結した弁は、好ましくは或る無菌型の弁である。このタイプの適切な弁の1例は、ここに引用することにより本明細書に組み込まれる米国特許第5033647号明細書に開示されている。 Also, the valve connected to the liquid outlet (9, 109) is preferably a certain sterile valve. One example of a suitable valve of this type is disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,033,647, which is incorporated herein by reference.
図3から8を参照して、二方弁の概念の実施形態が、本発明に従う少なくとも幾つかの実施態様において使用に特に適することが説明されるであろう。特に、無菌通気手段または均圧手段が封止条件にされた後に、これら二方弁は、第2容積部によって代表される上部空間が超過加圧された気体を供給されることを可能にするであろう。 With reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, it will be explained that the two-way valve concept embodiment is particularly suitable for use in at least some embodiments according to the present invention. In particular, these two-way valves allow the upper space represented by the second volume to be supplied with over-pressurized gas after the sterile venting means or pressure equalizing means has been brought to sealing conditions. Will.
流体包装内の超過加圧された上部空間の使用は、剛性または半剛性の容器に限定されず、むしろバッグインボックス型容器を利することがありうることが強調されるべきである。バッグインボックス型容器におけるそのような超過圧力は、充填されたバッグをその外側ボックス内に入れることをより容易にするであろうし、不活性気体の使用は、飲料成分がバッグインボックス型容器内にあるときに、同様に飲料成分を利する。バッグインボックス型容器内の超過圧力は、さらにまた、配量精度を改善し、かつ、さもなくば潰れるバッグのしわを減らすことによってそれを空にすることを一般的に改善しうる。 It should be emphasized that the use of an over-pressurized head space within the fluid package is not limited to rigid or semi-rigid containers, but rather may benefit from bag-in-box type containers. Such overpressure in a bag-in-box container will make it easier to place a filled bag into its outer box, and the use of an inert gas will ensure that the beverage component is contained within the bag-in-box container. In the same way, the beverage ingredients are used as well. Overpressure in a bag-in-box container can also generally improve emptying by improving metering accuracy and reducing otherwise wrinkled bag wrinkles.
それ故に、二方弁の概念の次の記載は、剛性または半剛性容器に限定される意図はなく、バッグインボックス型容器または固定容積の貯蔵チャンバーよりも可撓性の袋を利用するところの任意の別の容器にまた妥当する。 Therefore, the following description of the two-way valve concept is not intended to be limited to rigid or semi-rigid containers, but rather uses bags that are more flexible than bag-in-box containers or fixed-volume storage chambers. Also applicable to any separate container.
先ず図3および4を参照すると、液体出口弁(図1において参照番号11で示されたような)の位置で使われるうる二方弁の第1の態様が示されている。図3は、第1断面に対して垂直な平面における上記の弁の第1長手方向断面を示している。該二方弁(251)は、容器への接続のための入口端部(255)および飲料ホスティングシステムと連絡するための出口端部(257)を有する剛性の内部体(253)を備えている。入口端部(255)および出口端部(257)は、内部障壁(259)と、好ましくは内部弁体(253)の周りの予め張力を懸けられた(pretensioned)締まりばめを有する弾性外側スリーブ(261)とによって分離されている。
Referring first to FIGS. 3 and 4, a first embodiment of a two-way valve that can be used in the position of a liquid outlet valve (as indicated by
入口側で、該弁体(253)は、入口端部(255)と連絡している向かい合った横方向開口の第1の対(263、265)を有している。出口側で、該弁体(253)は、出口端部(257)と連絡している向かい合った横方向開口の第2の対(267、269)を有している。圧力をかけないで、または入口端部(255)若しくは出口端部(257)に印加される所定のレベルまでの圧力で、可撓性の外側スリーブ(251)は、流体媒体の通過を確実にかつ好ましくは無菌的に防止するであろう。 On the inlet side, the valve body (253) has a first pair (263, 265) of opposed lateral openings in communication with the inlet end (255). On the outlet side, the valve body (253) has a second pair (267, 269) of opposed lateral openings in communication with the outlet end (257). The flexible outer sleeve (251) ensures passage of the fluid medium without pressure or with pressure up to a predetermined level applied to the inlet end (255) or outlet end (257). And preferably will prevent aseptically.
入口端部(255)は、フランジ面(271)を有し、それによって上記で引用したタイプの液体容器へ簡便に取り付けられる。出口端部(257)は、無菌条件の下で気体の供給部への接続のために適応されうる。 The inlet end (255) has a flange surface (271) by which it is conveniently attached to a liquid container of the type cited above. The outlet end (257) can be adapted for connection to a gas supply under aseptic conditions.
使用中、液体飲料成分、例えばコーヒー濃厚物は、矢印(273)によって示されたように、入口端部(255)へポンプ供給されうる。所定の圧力を超えることによって、次に液体内容物は、弾力性の外側スリーブ(261)を弁体(253)から半径方向に持ち上げ、そして剛性弁体(253)の周辺を介して横方向開口の第1の対(263、265)から排出され、そして弾力性スリーブ(261)の半径方向に持ち上げられた部分間で、流体は、横方向開口の第2の対(267、269)を介して出口端部(257)に入るであろう。 In use, liquid beverage ingredients, such as coffee concentrate, can be pumped to the inlet end (255), as indicated by arrow (273). By exceeding the predetermined pressure, the liquid content then lifts the resilient outer sleeve (261) radially from the valve body (253) and opens laterally through the periphery of the rigid valve body (253). Between the first pair (263, 265) and the radially raised portion of the resilient sleeve (261), fluid passes through the second pair (267, 269) of the lateral openings. Will enter the exit end (257).
二方弁(251)を装着された容器を充填すると、残る上部空間は、矢印(275)によって示されたように出口端部(257)を使うことによって、圧力下にある適切な気体の量で満たされうる。この目的のために、適切なアダプターが、無菌条件の下に出口端部(257)へ結合されうる。そして不活性気体、例えば窒素(N2)が、半径方向に持ち挙げられた弾性カバー(261)と剛性弁体(253)との間に創り出された通路によって、横方向開口の第2の対(263、265)から弾性カバー(261)を持ち上げることを可能にする。 When filling a container fitted with a two-way valve (251), the remaining headspace is the appropriate amount of gas under pressure by using the outlet end (257) as indicated by the arrow (275). Can be satisfied. For this purpose, a suitable adapter can be coupled to the outlet end (257) under aseptic conditions. An inert gas, such as nitrogen (N 2 ), is then introduced into the second pair of lateral openings by a passage created between the elastic cover (261) and the rigid valve body (253) raised in the radial direction. The elastic cover (261) can be lifted from (263, 265).
そのような二方弁は、その2つの操作方向の各々において無菌でありうる。横方向開口の第1の対(263、265)と、最も近い横方向開口の第2の対(267、269)との間の間隙は、隣接する開口間の中間部にわたる弾性スリーブ(261)の自動蠕動性挙動によって無菌性を保証するのに十分でなければならない。 Such a two-way valve can be sterile in each of its two operating directions. The gap between the first pair of lateral openings (263, 265) and the second pair of nearest lateral openings (267, 269) is an elastic sleeve (261) that spans the middle between adjacent openings. It must be sufficient to guarantee sterility by its automatic peristaltic behavior.
ここで図5および6を参照しつつ、図3および4を参照して説明された二方弁のわずかに変更された態様が記載される。明瞭のために、図5および6においては、類似する要素は、図3および4で使われた番号から100番だけ異なる参照番号によって参照される。 With reference now to FIGS. 5 and 6, a slightly modified embodiment of the two-way valve described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described. For clarity, in FIGS. 5 and 6, similar elements are referenced by reference numbers that differ by 100 from the numbers used in FIGS.
それ故に、図5および6の二方弁(351)は、入口端部(355)および出口端部(357)を備える剛性の弁体(353)を有することが認識されうるところの類似の断面で示されていることが分かるであろう。入口端部(355)および出口端部(357)は、内部の障壁(359)および外側スリーブ(361)によって相互に分離されている。 Therefore, a similar cross section where it can be appreciated that the two-way valve (351) of FIGS. 5 and 6 has a rigid valve body (353) with an inlet end (355) and an outlet end (357). You can see that The inlet end (355) and outlet end (357) are separated from each other by an inner barrier (359) and an outer sleeve (361).
図3および4の弾性外側スリーブ(261)と対照的な弾性外側スリーブ(361)は、種々の半径方向厚みを有している。弁体(353)の内部の障壁(359)の領域で、可撓性の外側スリーブ(361)は、横方向開口の第1の対および第2の対(363、365、367、369)に平行な平面内で向き合うより厚い部分(361A、361B)を有しており、これらの開口の周りで可撓性スリーブのしっかりとした支持を得ることになる。外側スリーブ(261、361)の可撓性の挙動の別の態様は、図3および4の実施態様によって実際に示されたように、軸方向長さに沿って剛性弁体の直径を変えることによって得ることができることは明確であるに違いない。 The elastic outer sleeve (361) as opposed to the elastic outer sleeve (261) of FIGS. 3 and 4 has various radial thicknesses. In the region of the barrier (359) inside the valve body (353), the flexible outer sleeve (361) is connected to the first and second pairs (363, 365, 367, 369) of the lateral openings. It has thicker portions (361A, 361B) that face each other in parallel planes, resulting in a firm support for the flexible sleeve around these openings. Another aspect of the flexible behavior of the outer sleeve (261, 361) is to vary the diameter of the rigid valve body along the axial length, as actually demonstrated by the embodiment of FIGS. It must be clear that you can get by.
図5および6の二方弁の使用および操作は、図3および4を参照して説明したことと本質的に類似しているので、図5および6の類似の参照要素の繰り返しの記載は不要と思われる。 The use and operation of the two-way valve of FIGS. 5 and 6 is essentially similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, so repeated description of similar reference elements of FIGS. 5 and 6 is not necessary. I think that the.
二方弁の別の態様が図7に示される。この二方弁(451)は上記に記載した二方弁とは剛性外体(452)および弾性内体(454)を有している点において異なっている。 Another embodiment of the two-way valve is shown in FIG. This two-way valve (451) differs from the two-way valve described above in that it has a rigid outer body (452) and an elastic inner body (454).
使用中、可撓性の内側スリーブすなわち内体(454)は、矢印(473)に従って入口端部(455)へ入るか、または矢印(475)に従って出口端部(457)へ入る流体流によって偏向させられるであろう。圧力プロファイルの低下は、この二方弁の軸方向に沿って内体および外体(452、454)間の干渉の低下を通して達成される。中間部分の近位の直径は、対向している両遠位の直径よりも小さく、そして干渉は入口および出口端部の方向へ消えていく。それ故にそれは両軸方向の流れを可能にする。 In use, the flexible inner sleeve or body (454) is deflected by a fluid flow that enters the inlet end (455) according to arrow (473) or enters the outlet end (457) according to arrow (475). Will be made. A reduction in pressure profile is achieved through a reduction in interference between the inner and outer bodies (452, 454) along the axial direction of this two-way valve. The proximal diameter of the intermediate portion is smaller than the opposing distal diameters and the interference disappears in the direction of the inlet and outlet ends. It therefore allows for biaxial flow.
二方弁のもう一つの代替的態様(551)が図8に示されている。二方弁(551)は、固定容積貯蔵容器の液体分配出口、例えば夫々図1または2の容器の出口(9、109)と共に使用するようにも構成されている。二方弁(551)は、剛性の内側構成要素(553)および可撓性の外側管(561)で構成され、これらは一緒になって入口端部(555)および出口端部(557)を画定する。剛性の内側構成要素(553)は、入口端部(555)の流体と出口端部(557)の流体との間の清浄かつ無菌な分離のために、可撓性の外側管(561)と干渉する周囲封止面(556)を提供する。図8において、矢印(572、574)によって概略的に説明されているように、二方弁(551)の入口端部(555)に増大せられた圧力がありうる。一度この増大せられた圧力が所定の値を超えると、該弁は、可撓性管(561)によって形成された弾力性の外側カバーが、矢印(577、579)の方向に、構成要素の内側剛性体(553)の周囲面(556)から半径方向に持ち上げられことにおいて、開きうる。すると、容器からの流体は、出口端部(557)を、矢印(275)の方向に去りうる。図8に、外側管(561)は、外側管の中央部内に内側剛性構成要素(553)を保持するために、拡大された直径の中央部(561A)および軸方向に隔てられた2つの内側環状リッジ(561B、561C)を有することがさらに示されている。 Another alternative embodiment (551) of the two-way valve is shown in FIG. The two-way valve (551) is also configured for use with a liquid dispensing outlet of a fixed volume storage container, such as the outlet (9, 109) of the container of FIG. 1 or 2, respectively. The two-way valve (551) is composed of a rigid inner component (553) and a flexible outer tube (561), which together form an inlet end (555) and an outlet end (557). Define. The rigid inner component (553) includes a flexible outer tube (561) for clean and aseptic separation between the fluid at the inlet end (555) and the fluid at the outlet end (557). An interfering peripheral sealing surface (556) is provided. In FIG. 8, there can be increased pressure at the inlet end (555) of the two-way valve (551), as schematically illustrated by arrows (572, 574). Once this increased pressure exceeds a predetermined value, the valve has a resilient outer cover formed by a flexible tube (561) in the direction of the arrows (577, 579) of the component. It can open upon being raised radially from the peripheral surface (556) of the inner rigid body (553). The fluid from the container can then leave the outlet end (557) in the direction of the arrow (275). In FIG. 8, the outer tube (561) has an enlarged diameter central portion (561A) and two axially separated inner portions to retain the inner rigid component (553) within the central portion of the outer tube. It is further shown having an annular ridge (561B, 561C).
