Description
La présente invention concerne un sachet de conditionnement de semence animale et de traitement utérin. La présente invention concerne également un dispositif d'insémination pour animaux.The present invention relates to a seed conditioning bag animal and uterine treatment. The present invention also relates to a insemination device for animals.
Le sachet peut être utilisé notamment pour le conditionnement de semence des espèces porcines et équines mais également d'autres espèces comme les rhinocéros.The bag can be used in particular for the conditioning of semen porcine and equine species, but also other species such as rhinoceros.
On connaít déjà, notamment des FR-B-2 667 504 et FR-A-2 750 399, un sachet de conditionnement de liquide pour l'insémination artificielle animale, en particulier pour les espèces porcines et équines, du type dénommé également sachet-dose.Already known, in particular FR-B-2 667 504 and FR-A-2 750 399, a liquid packaging bag for animal artificial insemination, in particular for porcine and equine species, of the type also known as sachet.
Le sachet de conditionnement de substances liquides pour l'insémination artificielle animale selon FR-B-2 667 504 est constitué de deux feuilles de matière thermoplastique soudées par un cordon de soudure délimitant une poche, suivant un tracé fermé de forme générale rectangulaire définissant deux petits côtés et deux grands côtés lorsque le sachet est vide, et dont l'un desdits petits côtés présente une interruption, le cordon de soudure déterminant en partant de ladite interruption un conduit de remplissage.The sachet for conditioning liquid substances for insemination artificial animal according to FR-B-2 667 504 consists of two sheets of material thermoplastic welded by a weld seam delimiting a pocket, following a closed layout of rectangular general shape defining two short sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, and one of said small sides has a interruption, the weld bead determining from said interruption a filling duct.
Les sachets décrits dans cette référence permettent un remplissage volumétrique rapide, à l'abri de l'air et des contaminations, ainsi que l'accouplement avant l'insémination du sachet et du tube d'insémination ou de la sonde d'insémination avec un maintien et une étanchéité assurés de manière fiable et un vidage naturel du sachet complet à l'abri de l'air et des contaminations, à condition que leur ouverture soit pratiquée correctement. Or des difficultés liées à l'ouverture des sachets sont fréquemment rencontrées qui posent des problèmes lors de leur utilisation.The bags described in this reference allow filling rapid volumetric, protected from air and contaminations, as well as the coupling before insemination of the bag and the insemination tube or the insemination probe with a reliably maintained and maintained seal and a natural dump of the complete bag away from air and contaminations, provided that their opening be practiced correctly. However difficulties related to the opening of the bags are frequently encountered which pose problems during their use.
Pour une utilisation avec ce type de sachet, qui comporte un conduit de remplissage prolongé habituellement par un cône d'introduction et de centrage, permettant de récupérer ou vider son contenu, on pratique une ouverture dans le sachet à l'endroit dudit conduit, et on insère l'extrémité libre d'une sonde ou d'un tube dans l'ouverture pratiquée. For use with this type of sachet, which comprises a conduit of usually extended filling by an introducer and centering cone, to recover or empty its contents, an opening is made in the bag at the location of said conduit, and inserting the free end of a probe or a tube in the opening practiced.
De tels sachets donnent toute satisfaction et sont toujours utilisés. Cependant, des difficultés liées à l'ouverture des sachets, qui posent des problèmes lors de leur utilisation et nécessitent souvent de recourir à un outil ou à un objet, sont toutefois fréquemment rencontrées.Such sachets are completely satisfactory and are still used. However, difficulties related to the opening of the sachets, which pose problems during their use and often require the use of a tool or object, however frequently encountered.
Pour pallier ces problèmes, la Demanderesse a mis au point un sachet dit "sachet pelable", décrit dans le FR 2 750 399, pouvant être ouvert de façon simple et fiable, sans avoir à utiliser un quelconque outil ou objet. Ce type de sachet est particulièrement bien adapté pour contenir notamment de la semence animale et rencontre un succès grandissant.To alleviate these problems, the Applicant has developed a sachet said "peelable bag", described in FR 2,750,399, which can be opened in a simple manner and reliable, without having to use any tool or object. This type of sachet is particularly well adapted to contain in particular animal semen and meets growing success.
On connaít aussi, par FR 2 778 841, un sachet de ce type constitué de deux feuilles en matière thermoplastique délimitant une poche de forme généralement rectangulaire et dont chacun des petits côtés présente une interruption avec le cordon de soudure qui détermine en partant de cette interruption un conduit, respectivement de remplissage et de soutirage. Chacun des conduits de remplissage et de soutirage est à diamètre constant et se prolonge du côté externe du sachet par un évasement dont le diamètre croít à partir de celui du conduit qu'il prolonge.Also known from FR 2 778 841, a bag of this type consisting of two sheets of thermoplastic material delimiting a generally shaped pouch rectangular and each of the short sides has an interruption with the cord of welding which determines, starting from this interruption, a pipe, respectively filling and racking. Each of the filling and racking ducts is at constant diameter and extends on the outer side of the bag by a flare whose diameter increases from that of the conduit that it extends.
Enfin, WO 02/22044, qui fait partie de l'état de la technique au sens de l'article 54(3) CBE, décrit un sachet de conditionnement d'une substance biologique liquide, telle que la semence animale, qui est formé de deux parois en matière plastique accolées de manière à délimiter une poche de réception de ladite substance et, communiquant avec cette poche, un conduit de vidage dans lequel est emmanchée une canule dont les deux extrémités sont ouvertes, une première extrémité de la canule étant apte à communiquer avec la poche du sachet tandis que la seconde extrémité de cette canule présente un rétrécissement de section, de forme tronconique ou approximativement tronconique. La seconde extrémité de la canule est située au voisinage d'une partie terminale du conduit qui est, en l'absence d'ouverture du sachet, obturée par les parois accolées de celui-ci. Sur une fraction de sa longueur, le conduit de soutirage communique avec au moins une zone située non loin de la partie terminale, dans laquelle les deux parois ne sont pas accolées.Finally, WO 02/22044, which is part of the state of the art within the meaning of Article 54 (3) EPC, describes a packaging bag of a liquid biological substance, such as animal semen, which consists of two plastic walls contiguous to delimit a receiving pocket of said substance and, communicating with this pocket, a dump conduit in which is fitted a cannula whose two ends are open, a first end of the cannula being able to communicate with the bag of the bag while the second end of this cannula has a narrowing section, shape frustoconical or approximately frustoconical. The second end of the cannula is located in the vicinity of an end portion of the duct which is, in the absence of opening of the bag, closed by the contiguous walls of it. On a fraction of his length, the withdrawal duct communicates with at least one non far from the terminal part, in which the two walls are not contiguous.
Par ailleurs, la Demanderesse a développé de nombreux dispositifs d'insémination pour animaux dont le col de l'utérus présente des anneaux cartilagineux difficiles à franchir, notamment les porcins. Le brevet EP-B-0 189 702 de la Demanderesse couvre une sonde gynécologique télescopique pour l'insémination artificielle d'animaux tels que les porcins, constituée d'une gaine protectrice extérieure servant de fourreau à un conduit de transfert télescopique de semence, susceptible de se déplacer axialement par rapport à la gaine. La gaine comporte un embout en saillie traversé par le conduit de transfert. L'extrémité du conduit de transfert opposée à l'embout est prévue pour être raccordée à une réserve de semence telle qu'une pochette souple pourvue d'un embout souple de raccordement au conduit de transfert.Moreover, the Applicant has developed numerous devices for insemination for animals whose cervix has rings cartilaginous, difficult to cross, especially pigs. Patent EP-B-0 189 702 of the Applicant covers a telescopic gynecological probe for insemination artificial animals such as pigs, consisting of an outer protective sheath serving as a sleeve for a telescopic seed transfer line, capable of to move axially relative to the sheath. The sheath has a mouthpiece protrusion through the transfer conduit. The end of the opposite transfer line at the tip is intended to be connected to a seed bank such as a flexible pouch provided with a flexible connection tip to the conduit of transfer.
La présent invention vise à rendre un tel sachet et un tel dispositif d'insémination télescopique particulièrement adaptés à une utilisation l'un avec l'autre.The present invention aims to make such a bag and such a device telescopic insemination particularly suitable for use with each other.
Poursuivant ses recherches, la Demanderesse a mis au point un sachet particulièrement adapté à une utilisation avec des dispositifs d'insémination ou de transfert d'embryons télescopiques tel celui du brevet EP-B-0 189 702, mais pas uniquement.Pursuing her research, the Applicant has developed a sachet particularly suitable for use with insemination or transfer of telescopic embryos such as that of patent EP-B-0 189 702, but not only.
