Description

  

  Garniture en matière plastique pour piston de     seringue,    et procédé pour sa     fabrication       Le présent brevet a pour     objets    une     garniture     en matière plastique pour piston de seringue et un  procédé pour sa fabrication.  



  Pour les seringues utilisées une seule fois, il est  possible d'employer des matières     plastiques    relative  ment peu coûteuses, car il n'est pas     nécessaire     d'avoir, comme pour     les        stérilisations    répétées,     des     substances résistant à 120      sans    déformation. La       stérilisation    peut en     effet    être faite au départ au-des  sous de 500 par la vapeur de formol, la conserva  tion à l'état     stérile    étant réalisée dans un sachet  étanche.

   C'est ainsi que l'on peut     utiliser    des matiè  res plastiques, telles que polystyrène transparent et  polyéthylène.  



  Jusqu'à présent la garniture du     piston    de     ces     seringues était constituée par un bouchon de caout  chouc prenant contact avec la paroi du cylindre de  la     seringue,    par deux ou trois     joncs    circulaires.

   Cette       pièce    en caoutchouc, assez facile à mouler,     est    d'un  prix de revient     assez    modique, mais elle reste néan  moins un élément relativement coûteux par     rapport     aux autres éléments de la seringue, étant     donné    que  le temps de     vulcanisation    ne peut pas être     raccourci     beaucoup ; même     dans    les cas favorables il     reste     égal à     quelques    minutes.  



  La     garniture    objet du brevet a pour but de pal  lier     ces    inconvénients. Elle est     caractérisée    par le  fait qu'elle présente une lèvre circulaire destinée à  être     couchée    contre la paroi du cylindre de la serin  gue, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre le     piston    de la  seringue et ladite paroi.  



  Le procédé de fabrication     est    caractérisé par le  fait que ladite     garniture    est obtenue par injection,  à haute pression, de matière plastique dans un moule.  



  Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemple, une  forme d'exécution de la garniture objet du brevet,  et une variante.    La     fig.    1 en est une vue de détail en demi-coupe.  La     fig.    2 est une vue en plan de     l'extrémité    de  la     garniture    de la     fig.    1.  



  La     fig.    3 représente en coupe le montage de la       garniture    à l'extrémité du piston de la seringue.  



  La     fig.    4 montre en demi-coupe une variante.  La garniture 1 représentée peut être moulée en  polyéthylène haute pression, par     injection,    ce qui  permet des     cadences    de production beaucoup plus  importantes qu'avec le caoutchouc.    Cette garniture 1 est réalisée en une seule pièce.    D'autre part, elle procure l'étanchéité par une  lèvre circulaire 2 de très faible épaisseur (entre un  et vingt     dixièmes    de     millimètre    par exemple), cou  chée contre la paroi 3 du     cylindre    4 de la seringue  sous un angle très faible.  



  Cette lèvre circulaire 2 est de dimensions très  précises et d'un diamètre très légèrement supérieur  au diamètre du cylindre dans lequel la garniture se  déplace, de façon     qu'elle    soit en état de légère con  trainte à l'intérieur du     cylindre        utilisateur    (deux à  six dixièmes de millimètre de contrainte par exemple  pour un diamètre de douze     millimètres).     



  La base 5, plus épaisse, sur laquelle repose la  lèvre     circulaire    2, présente un diamètre très légère  ment inférieur au diamètre intérieur du cylindre 4,  de façon à ne pas le toucher.  



  Le vide 6, où peut se perdre le produit à injec  ter, est réduit le plus possible si bien que, tout en  restant libre, la lèvre circulaire 2 se trouve très  près de la paroi     circulaire    du fond 7 de la     garniture.     



  A sa     partie        postérieure    8, la     garniture    1 présente  une     forme    lui     permettant    de s'adapter au     piston    9  qui fera l'injection, par exemple une     simple    cavité  cylindrique recevant une extrémité     circulaire-    du pis-      ton, soit un     pas    de     vis    en     creux,    soit une retenue  par     cran,    avec entrée conique facilitant     l'introduction     du     piston    9.  



  Pour obtenir l'étanchéité     dans    les deux sens  d'aspiration et de compression, il     suffit    soit d'aug  menter la     contrainte    de la lèvre unique 2, soit plus  sûrement de placer à l'opposé de la     première    lèvre  circulaire une seconde lèvre circulaire 10 de mêmes       caractéristiques        (fig.    4).  



  La matière constituant cette     garniture    peut être,       sans    pour cela se limiter, du polyéthylène, haute  pression, dont     l'élasticité    et la rigidité, de même que  les propriétés de glissement, conviennent parfai  tement.  



       Il    est à     remarquer    que cette sorte de     garniture     convient     particulièrement    pour les     seringues        utili-          sables    une seule     fois    à cause de la stérilisation.



  Plastic seal for syringe plunger, and method for its manufacture The present patent relates to a plastic seal for a syringe plunger and a process for its manufacture.



  For syringes used only once, it is possible to use relatively inexpensive plastics, since it is not necessary to have, as with repeated sterilizations, substances resistant to 120 without deformation. Sterilization can in fact be carried out initially at less than 500 by formalin vapor, the preservation in the sterile state being carried out in a sealed bag.

   This is how plastic materials can be used, such as transparent polystyrene and polyethylene.



  Until now, the lining of the piston of these syringes was constituted by a rubber stopper making contact with the wall of the cylinder of the syringe, by two or three circular rings.

   This rubber part, which is fairly easy to mold, has a fairly low cost price, but it nevertheless remains a relatively expensive element compared to the other elements of the syringe, since the vulcanization time cannot be shortened. many ; even in favorable cases it remains equal to a few minutes.



  The purpose of the lining which is the subject of the patent is to overcome these drawbacks. It is characterized by the fact that it has a circular lip intended to lie against the wall of the cylinder of the syringe, in order to ensure the seal between the piston of the syringe and said wall.



  The manufacturing process is characterized in that the said lining is obtained by injection, at high pressure, of plastic material into a mold.



  The drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the lining which is the subject of the patent, and a variant. Fig. 1 is a detail view thereof in half-section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the end of the lining of FIG. 1.



  Fig. 3 shows in section the assembly of the seal at the end of the syringe plunger.



  Fig. 4 shows a variant in half-section. The gasket 1 shown can be molded in high pressure polyethylene, by injection, which allows much higher production rates than with rubber. This trim 1 is made in one piece. On the other hand, it provides the seal by a circular lip 2 of very small thickness (between one and twenty tenths of a millimeter for example), lying against the wall 3 of the cylinder 4 of the syringe at a very low angle.



  This circular lip 2 is of very precise dimensions and of a diameter very slightly greater than the diameter of the cylinder in which the seal moves, so that it is in a state of slight constraint inside the user cylinder (two to six tenths of a millimeter of stress, for example for a diameter of twelve millimeters).



  The thicker base 5, on which the circular lip 2 rests, has a diameter very slightly less than the internal diameter of the cylinder 4, so as not to touch it.



  The void 6, where the product to be injected can be lost, is reduced as much as possible so that, while remaining free, the circular lip 2 is located very close to the circular wall of the bottom 7 of the lining.



  At its rear part 8, the gasket 1 has a shape allowing it to adapt to the piston 9 which will make the injection, for example a simple cylindrical cavity receiving a circular end of the piston, ie a hollow screw thread , or a notch retainer, with conical inlet facilitating the introduction of the piston 9.



  To obtain the seal in both directions of suction and compression, it suffices either to increase the stress of the single lip 2, or more surely to place a second circular lip 10 opposite the first circular lip. with the same characteristics (fig. 4).



  The material constituting this lining can be, without being limited to this, high pressure polyethylene, the elasticity and rigidity of which, as well as the sliding properties, are perfectly suitable.



       It should be noted that this kind of packing is particularly suitable for syringes which can be used once because of sterilization.
