Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of securi ⁇ sation of spraying tips, especially for therapeutic use, a method of manufacturing such tips, and secure tips.
- the invention is described in its application to tips for therapeutic use, that is to say of the oral, nasal, ocular or auricular type. However, the invention applies to all devices for spraying fluid pro ⁇ ducts of the type called "external jet”.
- the French Patent No. 2,547,737 discloses a tip of the inner nozzle at the type comprising a casing which forms an expulsion channel of a spray head in which is mounted a rod.
- the rod is larger than the spray orifice so that it can not be thrown out of the mouthpiece.
- Such a tip thus has good security, but it is unreliable and inaccurate. Indeed, in general because of a bad assembly, a fall of the assembly comprising the tip, or a rough maneuver of the assembly comprising the tip, the rod can move, so that the spray angle, the expulsion rate and the size of the projected particles may vary.
- the outer nozzle tips have a nozzle portion forcibly inserted over a body and defining the spray port. So that these nozzle parts are strongly held on the body, they are introduced by fitting on the body with an assembly machine that exerts a high force that sometimes causes the écla ⁇ ting of the nozzle portion.
- the essential disadvantage of these tips is that a nozzle portion, subjected to high pressure in case of plugging the orifice, can be projected into the mouth or nose, with the risk of being swallowed or aspirated, either in the eye or the ear, with a risk of injury.
- the object of the invention is to combine the safety of internal nozzle tips, which do not allow the protection of any member, to the reliability and precision properties of external nozzle tips.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate any risk of projection of any member by an external nozzle type nozzle.
- the securing is obtained by overmolding an envelope which releases the orifice of the nozzle, but which prevents the expulsion thereof.
- the invention relates to a spraying tip securing method, of the type which comprises the production of an outer nozzle tip fitted on a fluid guide body.
- the method comprises, during the production of the nozzle, the formation of surface irregularities on at least one of the elements chosen from the nozzle and the guide body, and, after the production of the nozzle, the formation, on at least a large part of the nozzle, in particular on the irregularities, except in an opening surrounding at least the spray orifice of the nozzle, a layer of plastics material by overmolding, the opening being small enough that the outer nozzle can not pass into it.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an external nozzle type spray tip, comprising a first step of manufacturing a guide body delimiting a fluid supply channel, and a nozzle, and a second step of assembling the nozzle on the guide body, for the formation of a tip.
- the method comprises a third step of securing the tip by the method of the preceding paragraph.
- the method further comprises a tip ejection step, and the steps of the method are performed successively on a single automatic machine with several positions.
- the multi-station automatic machine comprises at least one assembly station of a nozzle on a guide body, and an overmoulding station, and the method further comprises the combination of a nozzle installation manipulator. at the assembly station of the automatic machine.
- the invention also relates to a spraying tip which comprises a fluid guide body having at least one surface irregularity, a nozzle having at least one surface irregularity, and an envelope cooperating intimately with the irregularities of the guide body and of the jet.
- the guide body and the nozzle deli ⁇ mit a continuous fluid transmission channel which is entirely separate from the envelope.
- the nozzle is rigid, and the passageway formed by the guide body and the nozzle is continuous between the interior of the guide body and the orifice of the nozzle.
- the tip comprises a movable pin for closing the nozzle orifice and carried by an elastic member which remembers it towards its closing position.
- the elastic member may be a cylindrical member forming a piston movable in translation in the body.
- the cylindrical member is formed by simultaneously molding two materials, a rigid material and a compressible material.
- the nozzle is formed of an elastomeric material and, in the absence of pressure, it forms a valve by pressing against the guide body or an element integral with it, whereas, when the fluid is under pressure, a portion of the elastomeric nozzle deviates from the guide body and allows the formation of a continuous passage of fluid flow to the outside.
- all the materials in contact with the sprayed fluid are for medical use.
- Figure 1 is a section of the end of a tip according to a first embodiment of the invention
- Figures 2 and 3 are longitudinal and transverse sections respectively of a nozzle similar to that shown in Figure 1
- Figure 4 is a section of the end of a nozzle according to a second embodiment, wherein the nozzle is formed of an elastomeric material and is in the closed position
- Figure 5 is similar to Figure 4, but it shows the nozzle in the open position during the expul ⁇ sion of fluid
- Figure 6 is similar to Figure 1, but shows another embodiment of the tip.
- the tip shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a guide body 10, the largest part is in the form of a circular section of pipe, which ends with a stud 12 which is integral.
- This pad 12 is connected to the pipe at two diametrically opposite positions by parts 14, and the complete body is preferably formed in one piece by molding.
- This guide body is for example formed of a rigid plastic material for medical use.
- a cylindrical cavity of circular section in which is housed the main part of a nozzle 16.
- the latter in addition to its cylindrical portion, comprises a transverse end wall which defines at its center a small spray orifice 18.
- the end wall forms a so-called “swirling" spray chamber 20, which is represented in the form of three non-radial arms and a circular central part, capable of rotating the fluid which then forms a fine spray.
- projections 24 for attachment of the nozzle in the guide body 10. That the nozzle is formed of a body metal or a plastic material, especially an elastomeric material, the cooperation between the projection 24 and the inside of the guide body 10 is always performed with a moderate force. The role of this projection 24 is simply to temporarily maintain the nozzle on the guide body during manufacture. Thus, the gui ⁇ body and nozzle already form between them a "tip", but if it was used as is, the nozzle would be easily projected away from the body by a fluid pressure even reduced.
- the guide body 10 has, on the outside, circular grooves 26 and that the nozzle itself also has, on the outside, grooves 28 forming irregularities.
- the assembly formed by the guide body 10 and the nozzle 16 mounted on the stud 12 is subjected to an overmolding operation of an envelope 30.
- This overmolding is carried out so that the envelope covers a much of the guide body and the nozzle, in particular penet ⁇ trant in the grooves 26 of the body 10 and 28 of the nozzle 16, but by releasing a wide opening 32 around the orifice 18 of spray.
- the envelope does not disturb the spray performed by the orifice of the nozzle.
- the opening 32 is significantly smaller than the nozzle.
- the envelope 30 is formed of a plastics material having good mechanical strength properties. She may be formed for example of a polyolefin, such as polypropylene.
- the tip shown in Figure 1 forms a continuous passage from the inside of a pump or vial to the spray orifice 18.
- the tip therefore has no characteristic preventing the entry of bacteria.
- FIG. 4 and 5 show another embodiment réali ⁇ tion of the invention that prevents the entry of bacteria.
- the same references as in FIG. 1 have been used, followed by the sign 'to designate similar elements.
- the stud 12 ' has a conical projection 34 which protrudes in the center, opposite the orifice 18' of the nozzle 16 '.
- the nozzle 16 ' is formed of an elastomeric material.
- the inner edges of the orifice 18 ' are in contact with the conical projection 34 when the interior of the guide body 10' is not subjected to pressure.
- a pressure is applied inside the guide body 10 ', the liquid under pressure in the chamber 20' spreads the lips of the orifice 18 'which move away from the projection 34 and thus form a passage continuous allowing spraying.
- the elastomeric material of the nozzle 16 ' brings the inner edges of the orifice 18' into contact with the conical projection 34 of the stud 12 '.
- the protrusion 34 and the lips of the orifice thus constitute a valve that prevents the passage of bacteria.
- the embodiment shown in Figure 6 comprises a body 10 "in which is placed a stud 12" on which is disposed a nozzle 16 "This has an orifice 18".
- the inner face of the nozzle defines, as in the embodiment described with reference to Figures 1 to 3, a spray chamber 20 ".
- Figure 6 differs in that the orifice 18 "of the nozzle can be closed by a needle 36, thus constituting a valve that prevents the passage of bacteria.
- 36 is carried by a resilient cylindrical piston member 38.
- free portions 14 " preferably at least two diametrically opposed oppo ⁇ , receiving fluid from a channel 40 connected to the associated receptacle, by a conduit 42, 44 formed inside of The cylindrical member 38.
- the elastic member 38 on the side of the receptacle, is held without play in the body 10 ", with inter ⁇ position of a seal 48 which can be integral with the intermediate portion 46.
- the elastic member 38 between said fixed lower part and its movable upper part 36 of the needle comprises an intermediate part 46 formed of a compressible material, and an additional sealing gasket 50 can be placed between the body 10 "and the cylindrical member 38 and can be integral with the intermediate portion 46.
- the grooves 52 are formed in the elastic member 38 or the pad 12 "so that the fluid can be present between these two elements.
- the compressible part 46 of the elastic member 38 pushes the needle 36 against the orifice 18 "of the nozzle, so that the inside of the nozzle is totally isolated from the outside air: the dispo It forms a valve which prevents the passage of bacteria
- pressurized fluid is transmitted through the channel 40, 42, 44, and the portion 14 "and reaches the spray chamber 20" through the grooves 22 " it also reaches the grooves 52 and exerts its pressure on the total section of the elastic body 38, reduced by the section of the needle.
- the resultant force due to pressure then tends to move the needle 36 away from the orifice 18 "of the nozzle, and since the body 38 has a compressible portion 46, it moves the needle 36 away from the nozzle, thus spraying is immediately performed.
- the device which gives its compressibility to the elastic member 38 may be of very different types, other than the molded plastic spring integral with the piece 38 just described; many materials are known elastic, such as closed-cell flexible foams, and even mechanical elements such as springs.
- the embodiment shown is particularly interesting from the point of view of manufacture because, thanks to the helical shape of the compressible material 46, the elastic member 38 can be made in one piece by simultaneous mou ⁇ lage two materials: the manufacturing and assembly are simplified, and allow a reduction in the cost of the tip obtained.
- a first station is used for molding the guide body 10.
- a manipulator places a jet, manufactured separately, on the guide body in an assembly operation.
- the guide body and the nozzle are introduced into a mold for overmoulding by forming the envelope 30, for example polypropylene. This operation is preferably performed without deformation of the guide body or the nozzle, whatever the materials that constitute them.
- the fourth station is used for the ejection of manufactured tips.
- Such a machine makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing time, because on the one hand the guide body can be provided with the nozzle as soon as the assembly is possible, and on the other hand all the time elapsed during the passage from the first to the last station. is used for cooling the guide body.
- the entire manufacturing cycle of the tip described above can be of the order of 15 s, that is to say half the time required for the manufacture of a similar tip in which the external nozzle is force-fitted.
- overmolding it is possible to reduce the thickness of the guide body, and thus the manufacturing cycle time and the cost of the tips.
- any other technology can be used for manufacturing, for example involving the movement of mold parts, the use of manipulators, etc.
- the first station is used for molding the guide body.
- a manipulator places a nozzle made separately on the guide body in an assembly operation.
- the entire body and the nozzle is overmolded by forming the envelope, for example polypropylene. As the entire body and nozzle does not undergo insertion force, it is not likely to deform.
- the fourth station is used for the ejection of manufactured tips. The accuracy obtained on the spray is then increased.
- the invention applies to all types of pushers currently used for spraying control by the nozzle.
- the invention relates to a method of securing tips of the type already known, the manufacture of secure tips, and secure tips specifically made.
