Description
- This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 12/422,820, filed Apr. 13, 2009, which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 11/305,813, filed Dec. 19, 2005, which reissued as U.S. Pat. No. RE41169, issued Mar. 30, 2010, which is a reissue application of U.S. Pat. No. 6,779,575, issued on Aug. 24, 2004, which was a national stage application claiming priority to PCT/SE99/00878 filed May 25, 1999, which claims priority to SE-9801885, filed May 28, 1998, the disclosures of which are herewith incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to an appliance for mechanical sealing of hollow hoses of elastic material with a sealing means which is made of plastically deformable material and which is applied to the hose, said appliance having two jaws, which are movable towards and away from each other and which, when moving towards each other, crimp the sealing means against the hose to seal the same.
- In a prior-art sealing appliance of the type mentioned by way of introduction, the sealing means in the form of a folded clip is applied to a likewise folded end of the hose. The clip is then crimped against the hose to seal the same, after which the hose is cut downstream of the clip by means of a pair of scissors or some other cutting tool.
- As the relevant hoses have a relatively small diameter, say 5-10 mm, the clips are also relatively small and often difficult to apply in the right position on the folded end of the hose. Nor is it infrequent that the clip falls off the end of the hose, before the sealing appliance has managed to grip it for crimping against the hose with the ensuing risk of sealing not taking place.
- The sealing appliance according to the invention is primarily to be used in the type of device which is intended for introduction and/or withdrawal of a medium in a container and which is disclosed and described in WO 97/16715. More specifically, it is intended for contamination-free sealing and cutting of the hoses which extend between the conveying means and the collecting vessels which are connected to the process container, so that the collecting vessels after being filled with a medium from the process container can be moved without any risk of contamination to a laboratory or the like for sampling or analysis of the medium.
- In the above use of the sealing appliance, which requires good hygienic conditions and contamination-free environment/surroundings, clips of the mentioned type are unacceptable. One reason for this is that they are difficult to handle and often do not provide the desired sealing. Another reason is that there is in most cases at least a small portion of the hose left downstream of the clip containing a small quantity of the medium which leaks out to the surrounding area with an obvious risk of contamination.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a sealing appliance of the type mentioned by way of introduction, satisfying all the requirements for contamination-free transport of the relevant collecting vessels, which are filled with a medium, to the laboratory or the like.
- This as well as related objects are achieved in a simple and efficient manner in that the sealing means has the form of a sleeve which is slipped on to the hose, that at least one of the jaws has at least one bar which projects towards the other jaw and which, when the jaws are moving towards each other, makes an indentation in the sleeve and the hose to reinforce the sealing thereof as well as the fixing of the sleeve on the hose, and that at least one of the jaws has a cutting means, which projects towards the other jaw and which, when the jaws are moving towards each other, makes a cutting indication in the sleeve and the hose to allow a sealing cutting of the hose.
- In a particularly preferred embodiment there are at least two straight bars which are arranged substantially in parallel at a distance from each other and extend substantially transversely of the longitudinal direction of the sleeve to make a corresponding number of substantially transverse indentations in the sleeve and the hose, the cutting means preferably extending substantially transversely of the longitudinal direction of the sleeve and making a substantially transverse cutting indication in the sleeve and the hose.
- The invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, seen obliquely from above, of an appliance according to a currently particularly preferred embodiment of the invention in an initial position for the sealing of a hose, -
FIG. 2 is a front view of a part of the appliance according toFIG. 1 in the initial position, -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the appliance corresponding toFIG. 1 in end position of the sealing, -
FIG. 4 is a view corresponding toFIG. 2 , the appliance being in the end position, and -
FIGS. 5A and 5B are side views which show the sealed hose, partially cut open, in a position after sealing and in a position after completed cutting of the hose. - As mentioned above, the appliance generally designated 1 is primarily conceived for use in the type of device which is intended for introduction and/or withdrawal of a medium in a container and which is disclosed and described in WO 97/16715. More specifically, it is intended for sealing and cutting the hoses in a mechanical and contamination-free manner, which extend between the conveying means and the collecting vessels which are connected to the process container, so that the collecting vessels after being filled with a medium from the process container can be transported without any risk of contamination to a laboratory or the like for sampling or analysis of the medium.
- Still, the appliance 1 can, of course, also be used in a number of other applications where good hygienic conditions and/or contamination-free surroundings and/or working environment are required to a varying extent.
- Thus the appliance 1 is generally intended for mechanical sealing of
hollow hoses 2 of elastic material, e.g. rubber or plastic, of a quality which is suitable for the purpose. The sealing is carried out with the aid of a sealing means 3, which is made of a plastically deformable material, e.g. plastic or metal, having suitable plastic properties and which is applied to thehose 2. In the preferred embodiment shown, the sealing means 3 consists of ametal sleeve 4 which has been slipped on to thehose 2 in advance. The sleeve has a length of preferably two or more multiples of the diameter of thehose 2, which in turn is typically in the range of 5-10 mm. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 3 , the appliance 1 itself can have the form of a pair oftongs 5 which is hand-operated and which has one fixed and one movable leg 6 and 7 and twojaws jaws sleeve 4 is crimped against thehose 2, thereby sealing the same. - More specifically, as best seen in
FIG. 2 , at least one of thejaws jaw 8, has at least onebar 11 which projects towards theother jaw jaw 9. In the above-described movement of thejaws bar 11 makes amarked indentation 12, seFIGS. 4 , 5A and 5B, in thesleeve 4 and in thehose 2. In the preferred embodiment, there are twosuch bars 11, which are placed substantially in parallel at a distance from each other and extend substantially transversely of the longitudinal direction of thesleeve 4. Thebars 11 are preferably straight and make two substantiallytransverse indentations 12 in thesleeve 4 and in thehose 2 to reinforce the sealing thereof as well as the fixing of thesleeve 4 on thehose 2. If desired and if suitable, there may, of course, be more than twosuch bars 11 or bars which are differently placed/formed on saidjaw 8. - Moreover, at least one of the
jaws jaw 8, has a cutting means 13 projecting towards theother jaw 9 or 8 (seeFIGS. 2 and 4 ). When thejaws cutting indication 14 in thesleeve 4 and in thehose 2 to allow the sleeve and the hose to be cut in a sealing manner. - In the shown embodiment, the
cutting means 13 is preferably formed as a substantiallystraight cutting edge 15. The cutting edge extends substantially transversely of the longitudinal direction of thesleeve 4 and thus makes a substantiallytransverse cutting indication 14 in thesleeve 4 and in thehose 2. As seen inFIGS. 2 and 4 , thecutting edge 15 projects to greater extent than thebars 11 and suitably co-operates with an opposite, straight recess 16 in the opposite jaw, in this case thejaw 9. The depth, width and form of therecess 16 can vary, and the recess is suitably adapted to the form of thecutting edge 15 and to the qualities of the material of thehose 2 and thesleeve 4. In certain applications, therecess 16 can, if required or desired, be omitted. - Preferably, the
cutting edge 15 is situated substantially halfway between thebars 11, if they are two in number, such as shown inFIGS. 2 and 4 . If there arefurther bars 11, thecutting edge 15 is suitably placed halfway between two adjacent bars, preferably the ones situated closest to the middle. In a certain application, it is, of course, also possible to place thecutting edge 15 outside or on one side of the bar or thebars 11. - The
cutting indication 14 mentioned above is preferably such that thesleeve 4 and thehose 2 are not cut or broken directly when sealing by means of the appliance 1, such as shown inFIG. 5A , but at an optional point of time after that. Then thesleeve 4 and thehose 2 are separated along thecutting indication 14 by manual or mechanical bending back and forth, until the sleeve is divided by fatigue fracture, as shown inFIG. 5B . - Naturally, nothing prevents the
sleeve 4 and thehose 2 from being separated along thecutting indication 14 directly in connection with the actual sealing. - To fix the
sleeve 4 and thehose 2 in the intended position between thejaws jaws jaw 9, has afixture 17. The fixture fixes and supports thehose 2 and thesleeve 4 laterally, horizontally and vertically and can be formed in an optional manner which is not described in further detail. - For practical and other reasons, in the disclosed and described embodiment the
bars 11 and thecutting edge 15 are arranged on one of thejaws jaw 8, and thefixture 17 on the other,opposite jaw jaw 9. Thebars 11, thecutting edge 15 and thefixture 17 can be mounted on the associatedjaw bars 11 and thecutting edge 15 are made in one piece with the associated jaw, whereas thefixture 17 is mounted on the associated jaw, seeFIGS. 2 and 4 . - In the preferred embodiment, the
jaw 8 provided with thebars 11 and thecutting edge 15 suitably has the form of a die which is fixedly mounted in the appliance 1 with the aid of attachment means (not shown), seeFIGS. 2 and 4 . In a corresponding manner, thejaw 9 provided with thefixture 17 has the form of a punch. This punch is mounted in a slidable manner (not shown) in the appliance 1 and is actuatable by the previously mentioned driving means 10. The driving means 10 suitably consists of a gear generally designated 18, which can be an eccentric mechanism or the like and which is suitably connected to and actuatable by means of the movable leg 7 of the pair oftongs 5. - The invention is not, of course, limited to the embodiment which is described above and shown in the drawings, and can be modified in many different ways within the scope of protection according to the appended claims.
- The appliance 1 does not, for example, need to be a manually operable pair of tongs, but it can alternatively be a separate tool or a tool which is included in a machine and driven electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically etc according to need and desire. The
