- the level of effect requested is different for each problem, the pre-setting offers the user a guarantee and efficiency far superior to an individual estimate. Indeed, it is through numerous tests multiplied over many clinical cases that these pre-adjustments are established.
- the device (1) for applying the fluid according to the invention is of the type comprising a fluid reserve in the form of an aerosol, which fluid is released through an ejection nozzle under the action of a push-button (40) illustrated in Figure 4.
- a push-button (40) illustrated in Figure 4 An example of configuration and operation of an ejection nozzle according to the invention will be described in detail below.
- Said device (1) is remarkable in that the push-button (40) is coupled with a timer for controlling the duration of release of the fluid, and therefore the duration of application of said fluid to the area to be treated.
- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a perspective view of a first configuration of the timer
- timer means a timer system comprising the elements constituting the timer itself, and the means implemented to trigger its operation and / or cause it to stop.
- Said timer (2) of mechanical type, comprises a gears gear, among which:
- a second wheel (4) subsequently called “cam wheel”, actuating the release or stop the release of the fluid by the ejection nozzle.
- the cycle wheel (3) is connected to the push-button (40) via a lever arm
- the lever arm (7) pivotally mounted about a pivot axis AA1 so as to move from a lowered position on said cycle wheel (3) to a raised position, and vice versa.
- the lever arm (7) comprises stop means for holding the cycle wheel (3) stopped.
- the stop means consist of an ergot
- the operation of the timer (2) of said device (1) is as follows.
- the lever arm (7) when held in the lowered position, blocks the cycle wheel (3) by means of one lug (8) of said lever arm (7), said lug being housed in the light (9) of the cycle wheel (3).
- the timer (2) is then in the off state, all the gears being held in a locked position.
- Actuation of the pushbutton (40) activates the pivoting of said lever arm (7) which moves from its lowered position on said cycle wheel (3) to a raised position, so that said pin (8) of said lever arm (7) is moved out of the light (9).
- the cycle wheel (3) is then driven by a drive wheel (5) by means of a tension spring (not shown).
- said spring fixed by one of its ends to the cycle wheel (3), is mounted wound around said drive wheel (5).
- the spring is advantageously wound so as to have an energy allowing the delivery of at least ten doses of fluid, ie ten treatments, a complete revolution performed by the cycle wheel (3) corresponding to the delivery of a dose of fluid.
- the drive wheel (5) set in motion by the action of said spring, cascades the other wheels constituting the timer (2).
- said cycle wheel (3) is in contact, via an escape wheel (6) and a pinion (11) mounted on the axis of the escape wheel (6), with a metal part (12) able to oscillate in response to a biasing of the cycle wheel (3).
- the oscillation frequency of said metal part is related to the shape and mass of the metal part itself, but also to the shape of the escape wheel (shape and number of teeth).
- the metal piece (12) is intended to act on the speed of the timer (2).
- the cam wheel (4) actuates by means of the cam (13) on said cam wheel (4) the release arm (10) of said fluid to open and then closing the ejection nozzle of said device (1).
- the race of the timer (2) then ends either by an automatic repositioning of the lug (8) of the lever arm (7) in the slot (9) of said cycle wheel (3) (in which case the user has actuated and released the push-button before the end of a treatment cycle), either by the contact of a lug formed on the wheel against the lever arm (7) (in which case the user exerts a continuous action on the push-button).
- the timer (2) advantageously comprises secondary safety stop means (not shown).
- Said safety stop means are carried by the cycle wheel (3). More specifically, said safety stop means consist of a lug formed on the face of the cycle wheel (3) which is intended to come into contact with said lever arm (7) when the cycle wheel has made a complete revolution. Said lug is disposed on said cycle wheel (3) and is dimensioned so that, when said lever arm (7) is held in the raised position, said lug abuts against the latter.
- the latter is such that a single dose can not be applied to the area to be treated when a first pressure (continuous or not) on the button -pressoir (40) has been performed, said dose being applied until the end of the delivery of the predetermined amount and time of fluid.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a sectional view of the ejection nozzle (22) equipping the device (1) for applying a fluid according to the invention.
- Said nozzle (22) is constituted by a hollow body in which is housed an envelope (23) defining a cavity (25) intended to receive the fluid from a reserve (not shown) through a conduit (24) .
- the upper part of said envelope (23) is formed by a cover (28).

- jet when the zone of the ejection head (27) located around and near the outlet orifice of the ferrule (29) is of convex shape, the jet of fluid is fine, and when it is of shape concave, the fluid jet is wide. It is thus possible, by acting on the shape of the head (27) of ejection of said nozzle (22) and on the inner diameter of said ferrule (29) to adapt the shape of the jet to the infection to be treated.
- jet term is meant a gas / liquid mixture.
- a drawer (30) is slidably mounted in the cavity (5) formed by the envelope (23). More particularly, said slide (30) is configured to slide from a position closing the end of the ferrule (29) (or conduit 26) opening into said cavity (25) (shutter position) to a position leaving the end of said ferrule (29) open to the fluid, and vice versa. Closing said ferrule (29) is provided by an elastomeric tip (31) disposed on the underside of said slide (30) in contact with said ferrule (29) so as to ensure sealing.
- the sliding of said drawer (30) is performed under the action of a magnetic field controlled by the timer described above, said drawer (30) being made at least partly of a magnetic material. Placing said drawer (30) in the closed position is obtained by means of a spring (32) disposed partially around said drawer (30).
- the spring (32) pushes the drawer (30) towards the ferrule (29) until it obturates again the orifice of the ferrule (29) by the tip (31) made of elastomer of said drawer (32).
- Said device (1) is further provided with a protective cap (33).
- Said protective cap (33) is intended to establish a sufficient distance between the area to be treated (skin) and the cold fluid outlet.
- Said protective tip (33) also aims to prevent contact of the head (27) ejection nozzle (22) with the infected area to be treated. In fact, it is imperative to avoid spreading contagions on the parties by any contact that could lead to a renewal of the pathologies that are supposed to be treated or to develop other pathologies by indirect effect.
- said protective tip (33) has advantageously a height of between 10 and 20 millimeters.
- the wall of said protective cap (33) is provided with one or more openings.
- Said openings are preferably located in the lower quarter of the length of said nozzle (33), or at least in the last third of the length of said nozzle
- said protective tip (33) is transparent to facilitate its positioning around the area to be treated. Moreover, in order to respect the shape of the jet at the outlet of the ejection nozzle (22), said protective tip (33) is of frustoconical shape open towards the zone to be treated.
- said device (1) further comprises a cap (34) which is fixed on the free end of said protective cap (33).
- Said cap (34) is intended to limit the area on which the fluid is applied.
- said lid (34) comprises an orifice (35) which, when said lid (34) is fixed to the end of said protective tip (33), is disposed in the axis of ejection of said fluid.
- said orifice (35) has a diameter of 5 to 10 millimeters and preferably of the order of 6 millimeters.
- said lid (34) is transparent to facilitate the positioning of the orifice (35) facing the area to be treated.
- FIGS. 5 to 8 there is described an alternative embodiment of the device for applying a fluid (50) that is the subject of the present application.
- Said device (50) is formed of two half-shells (51, 52) snapped onto one another, each of the half-shells constituting a lateral face of the device (50).
- the latching is achieved by means of six tabs (53) distributed along the edge of the half-shell (52), on the inner face, which tongues (53) are intended to be respectively received in a housing (54) provided and positioned for this purpose on the inside of the hull
- the housings (54) and the tongues (53) are configured not to allow, or very difficult to remove said tabs once the two half-shells latched.
- a container (65) constituting the fluid reserve is housed between these two half-shells (51, 52).
- Said container (65) comprises an inner bag and a crimped pump which, once depressed, releases the gas (not shown).
- the chosen gas, in this case R152A is injected into the pocket and between the walls of the pocket and the container, so as to create, with the air around the pocket, a pressure, between the walls, greater than the equilibrium pressure (or saturation vapor pressure) of the R152A in the pocket.
- the ratio of these pressures will be determined according to the rate of ejection of the desired gas. We However, care should be taken to avoid that the gap between them is too great to avoid a gas diffusion too fast.
- a volume of 2.5 g (corresponding to a pressure of between 6.2 bar and 7.6 bar at 20 ° C.) between the walls of the bag and the container and of 9 g (corresponding to a pressure of between 8.0 and 9.5 bar at 20 0 C) inside the bag, to allow the delivery of 13 gas ejections, and therefore 13 treatment doses, with a pressure in the pocket of 7 , 6 bars at the first ejection up to 6.4 bars for the 13th ejection.
- the container (65) is held between the half-shells (51, 52) in a receiving casing (60) provided for this purpose.
- Said envelope (60) is pivotally mounted on the edge of the semi-bottom wall of the shell (52) about a transverse axis AAl.
- the nozzle of the device (50) is constituted by a nozzle (66) whose outlet orifice advantageously has a diameter of 0.20 millimeters.
- the dimensions and shape of the nozzle (66) are selected to allow control of the flow and direction of the gas. More specifically, the dimensions of the nozzle (66) are based on the gas used and its properties, as well as the pressure maintained in the container pocket (65). The objective is to obtain a gas ejection in a very short time, of the order of three seconds, with a level of cooling on the skin, around -5 °, such that a thermal shock is caused in seconds (of the order of five seconds) without pain.
- Said device (50) further comprises, like the device previously described, a protection tip
- these openings (68) are located in the lower half of the tip (67) (that is to say the half closest to the skin when said tip is positioned against the skin). Said openings (68) are dimensioned and arranged so as to allow a gaseous escape sufficiently large not to create vortices inside said tip (67) can deflect the trajectory of the jet.
- the length of the protective tip (67) is a function of the optimum distance between the outlet of the nozzle (66) and the skin, ie 33 millimeters: below, the speed of the fluid causes projections of the fluid on the walls of the protective tip, thus generating a loss of fluid; above, evaporation is too important.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the device (50) whose half-shell (52) has been removed to show part of the timer trigger system.
- the timer release system includes a reset handle (55) integral with a wheel (56), hereafter referred to as a "cam wheel”.
- the cam wheel (56) is intended to actuate the release or stopping of fluid release. This actuation will be described later.
- a spring (58), intended to supply the energy necessary to deliver a dose of fluid, is fixed, wound, by one of its ends to the cam wheel (56), the other end being fixed on the face ( 59) of the half shell (51) constituting the bottom half-wall of the device (50). It is held between the reset handle (55) and the cam wheel (56).
- Said means comprise a trigger lever and a rocker lever (61).
- the triggering lever is constituted by said envelope (60), whose pivoting movement is actuated by means of a trigger button (63).
- the trigger lever will then be numbered 60
- the rocker lever (61) is arranged to have an end (70) remaining in contact with the cam wheel (56).
- the latter thus has a face on which is mounted the reset lever (55), the other face being configured to receive the friction end (70) of the rocker lever (61).
- Figure 8 illustrates a view of the face of the cam wheel (56) for receiving the end (70) friction of the rocking lever (61).
- the cam wheel (56) comprises a guide rib (71) for guiding, on its outer periphery (72) the rocker lever (61).
- the outer periphery (72) of the guide rib (71) is provided with an extension (73) constituting a locking lug for the rocker lever (61) when resetting the handle (55). Locking of the rocking lever (61) is effected by the face (74) of the extension (73).
- the cam wheel (56) further comprises a stop tab (75) for stopping the rocking lever (61) in its movement, said stop tab (75) being preceded by a boss (77).
- the movement imposed on the rocking lever (61) by the boss (77) causes the stopping of the delivery of the fluid via the hook piece (63). Stopping the lever toggle (61) by the stop tab (75) causes, for its part, the locking of the trigger lever (60).
- the stop tab (75) has a U shape.
- said cam wheel (56) has a second rib (76) for holding and guiding the rocking lever (61) between the two ribs (71, 76).
- This second rib (76) has the advantage of not requiring the necessary spring effect for a rocker lever (61) when the cam wheel (56) comprises only one rib (71).
- the rocking lever (61) is secured to the trigger lever (60) via a hook piece (62).
- the timer associated with the cam wheel (56) comprises six parts which are a plate, an anchor, two palms and two gears.
- the operation of the fluid delivery system is as follows.
- the reset lever (55) is turned, which drives the cam wheel (56) in its movement. Said lever (55) is rotated until the lever latch (61) comes block against the extension (73) constituting the stop blocking lug.
- priming is performed by turning the reset lever (55) by half a turn.
- the fluid application device (50) is then ready to be used for delivery of a defined fluid dose for a determined period of time.
- the fluid delivery operation is initiated by manually pushing the trigger button (63) upwardly from the device (50) towards the nozzle.
- said trigger button (63) drives the trigger lever formed by the envelope (60) in a pivotal movement towards the shell (52).
- the triggering lever (60) causes the lowering of the hook piece (63), which raises the rocker lever (61) to allow passage of the extension (72).
- the rocking lever (61) is no longer locked with the cam wheel (56), the latter is rotated under the action of said spring (58).
- the timer is then triggered.
- the trigger lever (63) In its movement, said trigger button (63) drives the trigger lever formed by the envelope (60) in a pivotal movement towards the shell (52).
- the triggering lever (60) causes the lowering of the hook piece (63), which raises the rocker lever (61) to allow passage of the extension (72).
- the rocking lever (61) is no longer locked with the cam wheel (56), the latter is rotated under the action of said spring (58).
- the timer is then triggered.
- the gas is then delivered until the rocker lever (61) is brought into contact with the boss (77) provided on the cam wheel (56).
- the cam wheel (56) continues to rotate until the rocker lever (61) reaches the stop tab (75).
- the movement of the trigger lever (60) is then locked.
- it will again be a step of rebooting the timer, the arm of the rocking lever (61) passing from its stop position to its intermediate locking position under the action of the opposite direction of the tension exerted by the spring (58), and so on.
