The conical section of the housing can be male or female in shape, or a double cone, and the housing also has one or more air inlets (6). The cylindrical portion adjacent to the cone acts as a guide for the capillary tube.

Description

La présente invention concerne un embout (ou raccord) de remplissage pour éléments de conditionnement de volumes de liquide séminal ou de tout autre produit biologique, tels par exemple les paillettes, les canules, les tubes et les cathéters.The present invention relates to a filling nozzle (or fitting) for elements for packaging volumes of seminal fluid or any other product biological, such as for example flakes, cannulas, tubes and catheters.

Les paillettes sont des réservoirs tubulaires de semence animale destinées à l'insémination artificielle ou au conditionnement de liquides biologiques, dont le diamètre intérieur est en particulier suffisamment faible pour permettre le maintien en place de la dose par seule capillarité, ce qui simplifie la manipulation dans le cas où la paillette doit être utilisée dès son remplissage, sans stockage intermédiaire.Sequins are tubular tanks of animal semen intended for artificial insemination or conditioning of biological fluids, the internal diameter is in particular sufficiently small to allow the maintenance in place the dose by single capillarity, which simplifies handling in the case where the straw should be used as soon as it is filled, without intermediate storage.

Les embouts ou raccords de remplissage existants sont plus particulièrement destinés au remplissage de dispositifs du type flacons, béchers, bouteilles, etc., mais ne sont pas adaptés au remplissage de tubes, paillettes, canules, cathéters, surtout si on désire laisser une zone exempte de toute souillure de produit de remplissage, dans le cas par exemple d'une fermeture par soudage.The existing filling tips or fittings are more particularly intended for filling devices such as flasks, beakers, bottles, etc., but are not suitable for filling tubes, flakes, cannulas, catheters, especially if we want to leave an area free of any contamination of the filling product, in the case for example of a closure by welding.

Ces embouts ou raccords sont du type cônes ou aiguilles.These tips or fittings are of the cone or needle type.

Le brevet FR-B-2 680 101 décrit des buses jetables et récupérables utilisées pour le remplissage des paillettes. Toutefois, de tels dispositifs ne sont pas adaptés à un mode de remplissage unitaire, c'est-à-dire de quelques paillettes, ou automatisé, c'est-à-dire plusieurs paillettes sans remplacement manuel de la buse. Un objet de la présente invention est de fournir un embout de remplissage qui soit adapté aux paillettes.Patent FR-B-2 680 101 describes disposable and recoverable nozzles used for filling the flakes. However, such devices are not suitable for a unitary filling method, that is to say a few flakes, or automated, that is to say several flakes without manual replacement of the nozzle. An object of the present invention is to provide a filling nozzle which is suitable for glitter.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de fournir un embout de remplissage évitant une pollution dans la zone de fermeture de la paillette.Another object of the invention is to provide a filling nozzle avoiding pollution in the glitter closure area.

Un objet de l'invention est encore de fournir un embout de remplissage compatible avec un placement automatique, par exemple avec un automate de remplissage, ou avec une manipulation manuelle (remplissage unitaire).Another object of the invention is to provide a filling nozzle. compatible with automatic placement, for example with an automatic filling, or with manual handling (unit filling).

La présente invention fournit un embout ou raccord répondant aux objets ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'un corps en matière plastique présentant une partie conique, de forme mâle ou femelle, entourant partiellement un tube capillaire. La partie conique du corps en matière plastique permet le sertissage d'une paillette.The present invention provides a nozzle or fitting responding to objects above, characterized in that it consists of a body made of material plastic with a conical part, male or female, surrounding partially a capillary tube. The conical part of the plastic body allows crimping of a sequin.

Le tube capillaire est de préférence fabriqué en un matériau choisi parmi l'acier inoxydable et les matières plastiques.The capillary tube is preferably made of a material chosen from steel stainless and plastics.

Dans le cas d'une forme conique femelle de la partie conique du corps en matière plastique, l'embout comprend avantageusement une partie cylindrique dans le prolongement de ladite partie conique femelle. In the case of a female conical shape of the conical part of the body in plastic material, the nozzle advantageously comprises a cylindrical part in the extension of said female conical part.

Toujours dans le cas d'une forme conique femelle de la partie conique du corps en matière plastique, ledit corps en matière plastique comprend un moyen d'entrée d'air, par exemple un évent ou une pluralité de canaux.Always in the case of a female conical shape of the conical part of the body made of plastic, said plastic body comprises an input means air, for example a vent or a plurality of channels.

Dans le cas d'une forme conique mâle de la partie conique du corps en matière plastique, la partie conique mâle présente avantageusement une double conicité.In the case of a male conical shape of the conical part of the body in material plastic, the male conical part advantageously has a double taper.

L'embout ou raccord de la présente invention est constitué d'un corps en matière plastique 1 entourant un tube capillaire 2.The nozzle or fitting of the present invention consists of a body made of plastic 1 surrounding a capillary tube 2.

Le tube capillaire 2 est par exemple en acier inoxydable ou en matière plastique.The capillary tube 2 is for example made of stainless steel or of material plastic.

L'embout présente une forme en tronc de cône 3, une forme cylindrique 4 et un moyen d'entrée d'air 6.The tip has a truncated cone shape 3, a cylindrical shape 4 and a air inlet means 6.

La forme cylindrique 4 permet le guidage de la paillette 7 (représentée sur les Figures 2, 4 et 7 avec son bouchon 7') au montage et à l'extraction, en permettant ainsi d'éviter tout contact avec le capillaire et la face interne de la paillette de manière à supprimer toute souillure venant du liquide dans la zone de fermeture 5.The cylindrical shape 4 allows the guiding of the straw 7 (shown on the Figures 2, 4 and 7 with its plug 7 ') during assembly and extraction, allowing thus to avoid any contact with the capillary and the internal face of the straw so to remove any dirt coming from the liquid in the closing area 5.

Le moyen d'entrée d'air 6 autorise l'entrée d'air au moment du dessertissage de la paillette 7 du cône 3 pour garantir la zone non souillée. Le moyen d'entrée d'air 6 peut être perpendiculaire ou incliné par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de l'embout.The air inlet means 6 authorizes the entry of air at the time of the trimming of the glitter 7 of the cone 3 to guarantee the unsullied area. The air intake means 6 can be perpendicular or inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle.

Le moyen d'entrée d'air 6 peut être un évent (Figures 1 à 3) ou bien il peut être constitué de un ou plusieurs canaux 6'.The air inlet means 6 can be a vent (Figures 1 to 3) or it can be consisting of one or more 6 'channels.

Le corps en matière plastique 1 peut être surmoulé sur le tube capillaire 2.The plastic body 1 can be molded onto the capillary tube 2.

Le corps en matière plastique 1 peut également être injecté et le tube capillaire 2 emmanché à force. L'étanchéité est obtenue par l'ajustement et la longueur de l'emmanchement ou par collage.The plastic body 1 can also be injected and the capillary tube 2 press fit. The tightness is obtained by the adjustment and the length of fitting or gluing.

Le corps en matière plastique 1 peut aussi être usiné.The plastic body 1 can also be machined.

Une autre variante de l'embout ou raccord de remplissage de la présente invention, représentée sur les Figures 6 à 8, est réalisée à partir d'un cône mâle 3' (et non plus femelle). Ce cône peut être à double conicité (partie 8) pour permettre l'entrée de l'air au moment du dessertissage de la paillette 7 pour garantir la zone de fermeture 5 non souillée. Dans ce cas il est nécessaire d'utiliser un outillage de guidage 9 pour dessertir la paillette 7 du cône 3' (dans le sens des flèches F) sans que le tube capillaire 2 ne vienne en contact avec la paroi intérieure de la paillette et souille la zone de fermeture 5.Another variant of the filling nozzle or fitting of this invention, shown in Figures 6 to 8, is made from a 3 'male cone (and no longer female). This cone can be double tapered (part 8) to allow the air inlet at the time of the sequencing of the straw 7 to guarantee the zone of closure 5 not soiled. In this case it is necessary to use a tool of guide 9 to serve the flake 7 of the cone 3 '(in the direction of the arrows F) without the capillary tube 2 does not come into contact with the interior wall of the straw and stains the closing area 5.

Encore une autre variante de l'embout ou raccord de remplissage de la présente invention, représentée sur la Figure 9 est qu'il est réalisé en deux parties.Yet another variant of the nozzle or filling connector of the present invention, shown in Figure 9 is that it is made in two parts.

Le remplissage et la fermeture d'une paillette sont effectués de façon connue, l'extrémité 2a du tube capillaire 2 étant immergée dans le produit biologique dont on désire remplir la paillette, et l'extrémité 7b de la paillette 7 étant reliée à une source de dépression. La fermeture de la paillette est effectuée de façon connue en soi. L'homme de l'art pourra se référer à cet égard au FR-B-2 680 101 cité plus haut.The filling and closing of a straw are carried out in a known manner, the end 2a of the capillary tube 2 being immersed in the biological product of which wishes to fill the straw, and the end 7b of the straw 7 being connected to a source of depression. The closure of the straw is carried out in a manner known per se. Those skilled in the art may refer in this regard to FR-B-2 680 101 cited above.

L'homme de l'art comprendra que bien que l'invention ait été décrite et illustrée pour des modes de réalisation particuliers, de nombreuses variantes peuvent être envisagées tout en restant dans le cadre de l'invention tel que défini dans les revendications annexées.Those skilled in the art will understand that although the invention has been described and illustrated for particular embodiments, many variants can be envisaged while remaining within the framework of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
