Description
A LIQUID-SAMPLE PIPETTE WITH TIP EJECTING MECHANISM
The present invention relates to pipettes for taking samples of liquids.
Document EP-0 566 939 discloses a pipette comprising a body and an ejector arm that is slidably movable along the body to separate a tip from the pipette, which tip is held to the bottom end of the pipette by friction. The pipette has an ejector control button enabling the arm to be lowered by pressing on the button.
The button is hinged to the arm and is connected to the body of the pipette in such a manner that pressing down on the button alters its angle of inclination, and lowers the arm by the lever effect while also reducing the force a user needs to supply against the return spring of the ejector. Nevertheless, the parts of that ejector mechanism are relatively difficult to make and to assemble.
An aspect of the invention is to provide a pipette of a different type in which the ejector mechanism is easier to make and to assemble.
An aspect of the invention provides a sampling pipette comprising: a body; an arm movable relative to the body parallel to a longitudinal direction of the pipette in order to eject a cone fixed to the body; and a button for controlling movement of the arm; wherein the button applies a sliding thrust to the arm while pivoting about a fixed axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
Another aspect of the invention provides a sampling pipette comprising: a body; an arm movable relative to the body parallel to a longitudinal direction of the pipette in order to eject a cone fixed to the body; and a la button for controlling movement of the arm; the pipette being arranged in such a manner that the button applies sliding thrust on the arm while the arm is moving relative to the body.
Thus, the connection between the button and the arm is particularly simple. These two parts are therefore easy to make and assemble so far as this connection is concerned.
The invention may also present at least any one of the following characteristics:

The pipette constituting an embodiment of the.
invention and shown in Figure 1 is a sampling pipette having a single channel, and numerous aspects thereof are known in themselves and are not described indetail herein. Specifically, the pipette comprises a rod 4 extending along an axis 10 and surmounted by- a sampling control button 6 for controlling the.bliding movement of a piston along the axis 10 inside a- bottom cavity of the pipet'te in order to suck up a sample of liquid into said cavity or l:o expel il, therefrom.
The bottom tip of the pipette is suitable for receiving a discardable tip held by friction and through which the sampled liquid passes. The pipette includes means for adjusti.ng the volume of sample to be taken, which means may be ot conventional type.
The pipetteõincludes an ejcctor mechanism enabling the cone to be pushed downwards in the longitudinal direction in order to separate it from the pipette. The bottom portion of this mechanism is known in itself, and only the top portion is described.herein.
with reference in particular to Figure 3, the mechanism comprises a top cap 12, an ejector control button 14, a pivot guard 16, a spring 18, and an actuator 20. -The top cap.12 has a cylindrical side face 22 and a plane circular top face 24. The center of the top face is surmounted by a finger 26 received in an orifice of -the body 2 and held in place by a washer. The finger enables the cap 12 to be turned relative to the body 2 about a vertical axis 28 parallel to the axis 10, and holds it stationary against sliding relative to the body.
The button 14 has an approximately flat actuation portion 30,.a leg 32 extending sideways parallel to the actuation portion, and a shaft 34 perpendicular to the leg and projecting from either side thereof. The shaft is pivotally received in the top cap 12. The button is thus hinged to the cap about a horizontal axis 36 perpendicular to the vertical axes 10 and 28, and intersecting the axis 28. The side wall 22 of the cap.
has a notch 37 through which the leg 32 of the button extends while it is in the horizontal position. The cap is downwardly open.
The pivot guard 16 comprises a cylindrical wall 38 5 that is upwardly open and a plane circular bottom wall 40 with a finger 42 projecting downwards therefrom. The cap 12 extends inside the pivot guard 16 so that their side faces 22 and 38 face each other. The wall 38 presents a notch 39 extending up its full height and placed to coincide with the notch 37 of the cap, with the leg 32 passing Lherethrough. The pivot guard 16 is slidably movable relative to the cap 12 along the axis 28.
The top portion of the actuator 20 presents a plane wall 44 having a notcli extending from its front edge to its center. This notch receives the finger 42 extending from the center of the wall 44. The bottom end of the finger is enlarged so as to prevent the pivot guard 16 moving in translation relative to the actuator 20 along the axis 28. The pivot guard 16 is thus free to turn relative to the actuator about the axis 28. It is pressed downwards against the wall 44 of the actuator.
The actuator 20 has a U-shaped rim 46 extending from the edge of the wall 44, from the roar, thc left, and the right thereof, and projecting upwards relative to the wall 44. The rim has notches 48, for example three notches as shown, or five notches, the notches extending downwards into the rim. One of the notches lies in the middle of L-he rear portion of the rim. The other two are respectively to the.left and to the right of the wall 44.
The leg 32 bears against the rim 46 and is capable of penetrating into one of the notches 48.
The spring 18 is housed inside the actuator 20 as shown in Figures 4 to 7. Its bottom end bears against the body 2 and its top end bears against the underside of the wall 44 to urge the actuator upwards. The actuator 20 is slidably movable in the body 2 along the axis 28.

It is securely connected to a bottom rod (not shown) for making contact with the cone to-be ejected.
The above-described structure makes two series of movements possible.
Firstly, with reference to Figures 10 to 12, the button 14 can be turned relative to the body 2 about the axis 28, i.e. in a horiaontal plane perpendicular to the axis 28. It can move on either side of its rear or middle position through 80 in each direction. The left and right ends of these strokes, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, correspond to the leg 32 being received in the side notches 48. During this turning movement, the button 14, the top cap 12, and.the pivot guard 16 move as a single unit turning about the axis 28. The actuator 20 z5 does not move. The button may be placed in any position lying in its stroke of 160 , i.e. it may be engaged in the notches or it may lie outside them.
Furthermore, starting from any position of the -button 14 relative to the body 2 about the axis.28, the button can be.actuated downwards by the user acting on the portion 30. This action causes the button to pivot about the horizontal axis 36, thereby causing the pivot guard 16 and the actuator 20 to slide vertically along the axis 28. During this movement, the leg 32 bears against a single point of the rim 46, sliding over the rim in a plane that extends radially relative to the.axis 28. The top cap 12 remains stationary. Lowering the actuator serves to eject the.cone. Consequently, the cone can be ejected regardless of the position of the button about the axis 28, and in particular with the button to the left, to the right, or behind the pipette.
In practice,'the two above-described movements can be combined at will while moving the button. The user is free to choose the position occupied by the button while it is at rest and its position while moving to eject a tip.
The above-described structure makes two series of movements possible.
Firstly, with reference to Figures 10 to 12, the button 14 can be turned relative to the body 2 about the axis 28, i.e. in a horiaontal plane perpendicular to the axis 28. It can move on either side of its rear or middle position through 80 in each direction. The left and right ends of these strokes, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, correspond to the leg 32 being received in the side notches 48. During this turning movement, the button 14, the top cap 12, and.the pivot guard 16 move as a single unit turning about the axis 28. The actuator 20 z5 does not move. The button may be placed in any position lying in its stroke of 160 , i.e. it may be engaged in the notches or it may lie outside them.
Furthermore, starting from any position of the -button 14 relative to the body 2 about the axis.28, the button can be.actuated downwards by the user acting on the portion 30. This action causes the button to pivot about the horizontal axis 36, thereby causing the pivot guard 16 and the actuator 20 to slide vertically along the axis 28. During this movement, the leg 32 bears against a single point of the rim 46, sliding over the rim in a plane that extends radially relative to the.axis 28. The top cap 12 remains stationary. Lowering the actuator serves to eject the.cone. Consequently, the cone can be ejected regardless of the position of the button about the axis 28, and in particular with the button to the left, to the right, or behind the pipette.
In practice,'the two above-described movements can be combined at will while moving the button. The user is free to choose the position occupied by the button while it is at rest and its position while moving to eject a tip.
it can be seen that this mechanism provides great freedom in moving and positioning the button while still being of relatively simple structure. It is easy to make and to assemble.
5. In addition, since the sliding point of thrust between the button 14 and the actuator 20 extends-between the actuation portion 30 and the shaft 34, the button acts as a-lever reducing the amount of force that needs to be delivered in order to eject the tip.
The notches 48 constitute means for identifying preferred positions for the button relative to the rim (in this case behind, to the left, and to the right).
The characteristic relating to.sliding thrust between the button and the actuator during ejection can be implemented independently of the characteri:stics relating to the button being free to move relative to the body in a plane perpendicular to the direction 10.
