Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a syringe dispenser in a cup cartoner.
  • a pharmaceutical specialty comes in a liquid form which can be administered orally.
  • the dosage of the drug results in the administration of a certain number of drops or a determined volume of the specialty at various times of the day as directed by the doctor. It is therefore particularly important that the patient can follow the treatment prescribed without risk of error.
  • the pharmacist conditioning the pharmaceutical specialty must associate with the bottle containing the specialty a device allowing to draw and distribute the necessary dose such as a dropper or a graduated syringe.
  • the pharmacist must therefore have a machine enabling the bottle containing the specialty and the dropper or syringe to be simultaneously introduced into the cardboard packaging, the packaging having to be carried out at as high a rate as possible.
  • the device according to the invention consists of three essential integral parts: a guide (1), a worm (2) for advancing the syringes while driving the pistons and an ejector (4).
  • the guide (1) consists of two vertical parallel surfaces, generally constituted by two sheets of sheet metal the spacing of which is slightly greater than the diameter of the syringes and is less than the diameter of the collar of the syringes, and between which the syringes can circulate in a vertical plane.
  • the quarter-circle guide is covered, over its entire length at a distance corresponding to the difference between the bottom of the collar and the top of the piston (the latter being completely pressed in), by an upper guide (3) in an arc, the surface of which is perpendicular to the vertical plane of the two sheets constituting the guide.
  • the upper guide keeps the syringe flanges in contact with the quadrant guide.
  • this upper guide may contain a device making it possible to detect syringes which do not contain a plunger.
  • the worm (2) shown in Figure II, whose axis is horizontal, has threads of decreasing depth, the thread located towards the inclined part of the guide having a depth representing approximately 0.8 times the length of the piston and that located towards the entrance to the part of the quarter-circle guide having a depth equal to the length of the piston above the flange when the piston is fully depressed.
  • the width of each thread is equal to or slightly greater than the diameter of the collar.
  • the worm has 10 to 16 threads.
  • the worm is driven by a motor which, preferably, is a pneumatic or electric motor.
  • the ejector (4) which is shown in Figure III, consists of a probe (p) movable around an axis (a) located in the lower part of the guide in a quarter circle.
  • the probe is secured to a spring (r).
  • a probe whose position is adjustable, allows the movement of the probe to be controlled.
  • the probe triggers the ejection of a syringe into a cup of the cartoner.
  • the screw only stops when a syringe forces the probe to the maximum opening. This position of the probe is detected by a probe; it is through this probe that the screw motor is stopped.
  • the speed of rotation of the motor actuating the screw is adjusted according to the speed of movement of the buckets so that it has a continuous rotation.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to release the syringes at a rate close to 7200 per hour; higher rates can be envisaged with motors having higher speeds.
  • the upper guide (3) covering the quarter-circle guide may contain a device for detecting "bad" syringes, that is to say syringes from vibrating bowls which do not have a piston.
  • This device is shown in Figure IV.
  • a housing in which is inserted a door (7) integral with a spring (8) which tends to open it.
  • a lever (5) secured to a spring (6) is secured to the door and serves as a lock.
  • a curved sheet (9) makes it possible to exercise control over the lever exhaust; depending on its setting, the lever travel required to open the door will be longer or shorter.
  • the heads of the syringe pistons are in permanent contact with the wall of the metal part and in particular with the lever.
  • the lever In the absence of a piston, the lever is released, triggering the opening of the door and causing the device to stop completely, thanks to a door presence sensor.
  • the cartoner continues to package the bottles associated with their syringes that had been placed in the cups before the incident.
  • the syringe without plunger is facing the opening of the door (7), so it can be removed easily. Then just close the door which locks automatically because the screw resumes movement and has new syringes (with piston) under the door lever.
