Definitions

  • the invention relates to controlling devices, for use mainly in laboratories, for measuring or dispensing very small quantities of liquids with extreme accuracy.
  • One object of the invention is to ensure the possibility of easy handling of the controlling apparatus.
  • Another object of the invention is to render the controlling apparatus suitable for a plurality of measurements or dispensing operations dilering from each other for the simultaneous handling of a series of tubes for the distribution of liquids by aid of a controlling device.
  • Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and partly in side elevation of apparatus for the transference and xing of levels of liquid.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a similar apparatus together with a complete pipette. This apparatus is provided with two auxiliary junctions.
  • Fig. 3 is a section taken along line III--III of Fig. 2, showing the cross-section of an auxiliary junction of the threaded type.
  • Fig. 4' illustrates apparatus similar to that shown in Fig. l, but provided with an auxiliary membranepump and an abutment for the rubber ball.
  • Fig. 5 shows, partly in longitudinal section and partly in side elevation, apparatus of the type comprising two membrane pumps, the apparatus being tted with a pipette of the type usually employed for the counting of blood cells.
  • Fig. 6 is a front elevation drawn to a smaller scale than that of the other figures, of apparatus of the type comprising a series of pipettes and a stand.
  • measuring tubes having a self-sealing bottom in communication with a pump device ior displacing the liquid therein and having precision means for adjusting and precisely fixing the level of the liquid.
  • the bottoms of the tubes are made self-sealing by providing an opening therein which is so narrow that when the upper opening of the tube is closed, it is impossible for the liquid contained in the tube to drip out merely by its own weight.
  • Such apparatus is shown in Fig.
  • the present invention enables the pressure to be varied and the level to be xed as far as possible independently.
  • the hand-ball or other pump devices it is easily possible'to produce a continuous suction since it is possible to close the valve by a reflex motion and rapidly.
  • the attention oi the operator may be concentrated on observing the variation of the level alone, and accordingly it is possible to work with such a degree of accuracy that the level may be varied at will, from one graduation to another.
  • closing the valve the hand of the operator becomes released and the level remains unchanged, even if the lower end of the pipette is lifted out of the liquid to be examined.
  • the level existing at any moment will not only be adjusted, but will also be fixed at the same time.
  • the tube junction 4 and the junction 5 for the pump device, between which two parts the valve 2 is inserted, are parallel, whereby handling is simplified.
  • the hand-wheel 3 is arranged so as to be in easy reach of the hand gripping .the mechanism, and the hand-wheel is sufliciently large to act as a base for the entire apparatus whereby the apparatus may be placed on a table with the wheel downwards.
  • Figs. 2 and 4 illustrate apparatus which is substantially similar to the device shown in Fig. l. The differences are the following:
  • a stufng box I0 ⁇ is provided on the casing I, above the tube junction 4.
  • An opening 9 provides communication between the interior of the tube junction 4 and the exterion of the casing through the stuffing box.
  • the stufling box is adapted to receive a pipe 3l shown in Fig. 6, hereinafter more particularly described.
  • a pipette is attached to the sleeve 8 so as to enable the apparatus to operate upwardly from below, it is necessary to close the opening 9 and for this purpose a rod II is inserted in the stufng box as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the rod II is replaced by the pipe 3i and the tube junction 4 is closed.V
  • a screw-threaded nipple having an opening I2 which serves for assisting the rubber ball B.
  • the nipple is provided with an axially extending slot I3 having a depth equal to that of the screw threads. This slot I3 is also shown in Fig. 3.
  • the opening I2 is closed by a screw-cap I4.
  • the screw-cap I4 is opened when effecting the operation of liberating uid drop by drop or for instance when it is desired to effect repeated suction by means of the rubber ball 6 after its first inflation, with valve 2 in the closed position.
  • the rubber ball 6 is iitted with an abutment shield i5 and it is against this shield that the ball is pressed in order to enable it to be completely evacuated easily.
  • an additional pump I6 is provided, serving as an auxiliary source of pressure, its purpose being that in the closed condition of valve 2, it is still possible to control the liquid level with micrometric precision.
  • the resilient membrane pump I6, forming the additional pump may be regulated by means of the screw I'I.
  • the means for varying the level of the liquid, and fixing it at the same time consists of two pumps of different size, each of which has its own separate suction-pressure member and each of which has its own separate crease the cost of the apparatus, require lubrimechanical regulator, the neness of the adjustment produced by the two regulators being different.
  • Apparatus of such a type is usually employed for a pipette i8 of bottle-gourd form, in order to make it possible to conform even to the greatest differences of calibration occurring in immediate mutual succession.
  • the thin blood-drawing tube provides a space the volume of which exceeds a hundred times the volume of the blood-drawing tube.
  • the pumps are held together in a rigid manner by means of the frame 23, so that the adjustment of the levels of liquid will not vary even in case the apparatus is pressed by the operators hand.
  • The'regulator of the one pump is within easy reach of the hand which operates the other pump, so as to enable the apparatus to be held and at the same time be regulated by hand.
  • one pump is arranged so that its spindle is inclined relatively to that of the other pump.
  • the device by which the level of the liquid is varied consists of the collecting tube 24 which is of substantial construction to prevent any deformation at the pressures occurring during the operation of the device, and a series of tube junctions 25 branching out from the collecting tube.
  • This device is based on the recognition of the fact that automatic pressure distribution is, between the limits coming under consideration, practically perfect.
  • a device for varying the liquid level in this type of apparatus comprises a closing member and it is even possible to use an ordinary handball as a source of pressure for it. Inaccuracies of the ball, which would not be permissible in the case of individual tubes, will become of no eiect owing to the fact that their inaccuracy becomes distributed over ten tubes.
  • the distribution of pressure will be accurate even in the case of tubes of different types.
  • the accuracy which can be attained even permits of only one or a number of the control tubes being calibrated, while the others may remain uncalibrated. It is also sufcient if the adjustment of the levels is checked in one or two control tubes only. Thus measurements are rendered more rapid and the cost of the apparatus is substantially diminished.
  • the measuring apparatus together with all that belongs to it, is supported on the stand"29.
  • the series of pipettes are held together by the strap 30. i
  • the pipe 3l which likewise keeps its ⁇ shape unchanged at the service pressures occurring therein.
  • the apparatus illustrated at 32 is of the kind described in connection with Fig. ⁇ 2, by which the level of liquid is varied by measured amounts, and at the same time fixed. Owing to this connection the accuracy which has been assured in any case by the employment of the collecting tube 24 is substantially increased.
