Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging bag of a biological substance, such as animal semen.
- It also relates to a strip formed of a juxtaposition of such bags, and a set consisting of a bag and a hooking or suspension support.
- biological substance any substance wholly or partially of human or animal origin, which is in pulverulent, pasty or liquid solid form.
- EP-B-1 317 224 is described a bag of the type mentioned above, which is particularly suitable for packaging animal semen, in particular of porcine origin.
- the bag comprises, on either side of a filling duct located in its upper part, two circular openings.
- openings are able to allow the suspension of the bag to a support device, for filling.
- This filling can be done manually or automatically, using a machine.
- an empty bag is suspended from a support device which comprises at least a pair of substantially horizontal and parallel fingers, on which the bag is “fitted”.
- a support device which comprises at least a pair of substantially horizontal and parallel fingers, on which the bag is “fitted”.
- the bag is "suspended" from these fingers, by said openings.
- the size of the openings is sized to that of the fingers.
- the filling is more generally carried out using an automated machine, such as that sold by the applicant under the trade name "GTB 1000".
- the bags are in the form of a strip in which these bags are contiguous and integral with each other by one of their long sides.
- This band is brought step by step in front of a support device having several pairs of fingers, and this device is moved in the direction of the band, in a direction perpendicular to the plane thereof, so that the fingers are introduced in contiguous bag openings.
- the spacing between a given pair of fingers is substantially equal to the spacing between the openings of the same bag.
- the fingers are generally given a tapered shape, so that they can cooperate with the openings, even when a defect of positioning and / or alignment of the band occurs.
- a rigid tube fed with seed is introduced between the two plastic walls which constitutes it, to come to be positioned in its filling duct.
- This tube is an extra thickness that causes traction of the surrounding plastic material. Due to these efforts, it tends to deform, especially at the aforementioned openings. This deformation is not acceptable because it can affect the subsequent welding of the bag which is carried transversely to the filling duct, in order to seal it.
- the present aims in particular to overcome the difficulties mentioned above
- the present invention thus relates to a packaging bag of a biological substance, such as animal semen, which is formed of two plastic walls contiguous so as to define a pocket for receiving said substance, and which comprises, communicating with this pocket, a conduit for its filling, this bag further comprising at least one pair of openings disposed on either side of said conduit, for its suspension, through these openings, to fingers complementary to a device for support.
- a biological substance such as animal semen
- US 2003/191005 A1 discloses a bag for containing blood, comprising oblong openings on either side of a filling duct, wherein the openings form a non-right angle with the axis of said duct.
- At least one of these openings has an oblong shape, extends perpendicular to said conduit.
- said opening has a hard point area in which it has a reduced width.
- the invention also relates to a strip of packaging bags of a biological substance, consisting of a juxtaposition of bags in accordance with one of the preceding characteristics.
- It also relates to an assembly consisting of a bag conforming to one of the above characteristics, and a support for hanging or suspending such a bag which comprises at least one pair of suspension fingers, characterized by the fact that the relative spacing between these fingers is equal to the shortest spacing between said openings.
- the bag shown in the accompanying figures is more particularly intended to receive animal semen, especially porcine.
- this bag 1 is formed of two plastic walls 10 and 11, of elongated rectangular contour and longitudinal axis X-X '.
- This plastic material is preferably transparent or translucent and consists in particular of polyethylene, polyamide or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- These two walls are preferably made of two separate sheets. However, one can make use of one and the same sheet that has been folded on itself.
- Each sheet can be single or multilayer.
- the longitudinal sides (parallel to the X-X 'axis) of the sheets are referenced 13, while its small transverse sides are referenced 12.
- the sheet 11 is slightly longer than the sheet 10, so that the upper side 12 rear slightly exceeds the front side. This facilitates the opening of the bag by slight separation of the leaves, in particular to have access to a filling duct that will be described later.
- the walls are contiguous to each other to delimit in particular a pocket P for receiving the substance.
- the walls are joined by welding.
- it could be used another technique, including gluing.
- these zones 14 comprise, in the upper part of the bag, two large regions 140 of generally rectangular shape, arranged symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal median axis X-X '. Between them extends a non-welded zone 15 which constitutes a conduit for filling the pocket P with seed.
- the regions 140 continue down the bag by a weld line 141 of small width which extends in the vicinity and parallel to each of the long sides 13 of the bag.
- Each of these lines is connected, in the lower part of the bag, by a wide region 142, of approximately rectangular shape.
- a non-welded zone 16 which delimits a drain duct of the pocket P.
- a cannula 17 is fitted, in particular by force, into this duct.
- At the bottom of the duct 16 also extends an additional non-welded zone 18 which communicates directly with the lower opening of the cannula 17, in particular to facilitate access thereto.
- regions 140 have openings 3 and 4.
- openings allow to hang or suspend the bag to a support, especially for filling.
- FIG 2 is shown very schematically an example of such a support 2, seen from above. It comprises an elongate body 20 of which extend in the same direction, the fingers 21 of a suspension bag.
- the distance between two fingers corresponds to the shortest spacing between openings 3 and 4, as can be seen in figure 1 .
- the opening 3 is circular, of a diameter which corresponds, substantially and to the game, to the largest diameter of each of the fingers 21.
- the second opening 4 consists of a hole of oblong shape (we can also speak of a light) whose major axis YY 'is directed transversely, that is to say perpendicular to the X-X 'axis.
- the opening 4 is made by punching one of the regions 140 of the bag 1, by means of a punch with a circular contour, this punching being carried out twice consecutively, so that the second punching partially covers the surface of the impression of the first punch.
- This punching being carried out twice consecutively, so that the second punching partially covers the surface of the impression of the first punch.
- Reference 42 is given to protrusions which extend into the intermediate zone of the opening, of width less than the widest zone of each of the parts 40, 41. These protrusions 42, as will be indicated below, materialize and constitute a "hard point" at the level of this opening 4.
- the center distance d that has been mentioned above therefore corresponds to the distance between the axis of the opening 3 and the axis of the opening 4 at the portion 40 which is closest to the axis X. X '.
- the bag is part of a band of juxtaposed sachets and it passes step-by-step in front of a support 2 which is made to cooperate with one of the bags , by moving in the direction of the arrow f .
- the oblong shape of the opening 4 overcomes this difficulty to the extent that there is an additional space (in this case the portion 41) for a perfect cooperation between the finger 21 of the support and this opening.
- the oblong shape of the opening gives a certain latitude for the establishment of the bag on the support.
- the embodiment of the figure 3b is differentiated from the previous only in that it comprises, facing one another, and halfway length of the opening 4, two tongues 43 integrally 43 with the rest of the bag.
- both in the figure 3a that figure 3b the zones, projections or intermediate tongues of the opening 4, which give this opening a reduced width, constitute a zone of hard point which prevents the bag from being easily moved in translation, when this is not possible; not wanted.
- the "latitude" of movement given by the opening 4 is actually used only when necessary.
- This tube 5 is connected to a storage bottle, not shown, and to a pump, for example of the peristaltic type.
- the tube 5 is moved in the direction of the arrow h so as to be introduced between the sheets 10 and 11, facing the filling duct 15.
- the two sheets 10 and 11 of the bag are of a generally rigid material and, in addition, integral with each other in many places, the introduction of the tube 5, which is an extra thickness, leads to put the bag under tension. This results in deformation zones illustrated by the two arrows j .
- the closure of the bag after filling which is performed by transverse welding at the duct 15, can then be implemented under the best conditions.
- FIG. 6 To the figure 6 is very schematically represented a strip of bags B consisting of a juxtaposition of sachets 1 such as that illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
- FIG. 7 To the figure 7 is partially represented a sachet 1, filled with semen, and connected to a porcine insemination probe.
- This probe comprises a tube 60 of semi-rigid plastic material, with at one of its ends, a pad 61 of foam material.
- This is a structure generally known per se.
- the sachet In order to connect the probe to the bag, in order to inseminate a sow, the sachet is opened so as to disengage the lower end of the cannula 17 and the probe 6 is connected to the cannula 17, by the end of the tube 60 opposite the pad 61.
- the seed then flows by gravity from pocket P to probe 6.
- the tube When this bend is made, the tube unfortunately tends to return naturally to its starting position in which the two parts 620 and 621 freely communicate. To avoid this, the inseminator is constantly obliged to hold the probe in the folded position, using one of his hands.
- the invention it is possible for it, by grasping the bag 1 and turning it over itself in the direction of the arrow k , to position the oblong opening 4 opposite the bent zone 62 so as to what it comes to surround this area bent.
- the opening 4 deforms and strongly encloses the bent area, so that the probe is irremediably immobilized in this position.
- the bag 1 could comprise not one, but two oblong openings.
- the invention naturally applies to any packaging bag, whether or not it has a separate emptying duct of the filling duct.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte à sachet de conditionnement d'une substance biologique, telle que de la semence animale.The present invention relates to a packaging bag of a biological substance, such as animal semen.
Elle concerne également une bande formée d'une juxtaposition de tels sachets, ainsi qu'un ensemble constitué d'un sachet et d'un support d'accrochage ou de suspension.It also relates to a strip formed of a juxtaposition of such bags, and a set consisting of a bag and a hooking or suspension support.
Par l'expression "substance biologique", on entend n'importe quelle substance totalement ou partiellement d'origine humaine ou animale, qui se présente sous forme solide pulvérulente, pâteuse ou liquide.By the term "biological substance" is meant any substance wholly or partially of human or animal origin, which is in pulverulent, pasty or liquid solid form.
Dans le document
En référence à la
Ces ouvertures sont aptes à permettre la suspension du sachet à un dispositif de support, en vue de son remplissage.These openings are able to allow the suspension of the bag to a support device, for filling.
Ce remplissage peut être réalisé manuellement ou automatiquement, à l'aide d'une machine.This filling can be done manually or automatically, using a machine.
Pour procéder au remplissage manuel, un sachet vide est suspendu à un dispositif de support qui comprend au moins une paire de doigts sensiblement horizontaux et parallèles, sur lesquels le sachet est "emmanché". En quelque sorte, le sachet est "suspendu" à ces doigts, par lesdites ouvertures. Bien entendu, la taille des ouvertures est dimensionnée à celle des doigts.For manual filling, an empty bag is suspended from a support device which comprises at least a pair of substantially horizontal and parallel fingers, on which the bag is "fitted". In a way, the bag is "suspended" from these fingers, by said openings. Of course, the size of the openings is sized to that of the fingers.
Le remplissage est plus généralement effectué à l'aide d'une machine automatisée, telle que celle vendue par la demanderesse sous l'appellation commerciale "GTB 1000".The filling is more generally carried out using an automated machine, such as that sold by the applicant under the trade name "GTB 1000".
En vue de ce remplissage, les sachets se présentent sous la forme d'une bande dans laquelle ces sachets sont contigus et solidaires les uns des autres par l'un de leurs grands côtés.For this filling, the bags are in the form of a strip in which these bags are contiguous and integral with each other by one of their long sides.
Cette bande est amenée pas à pas devant un dispositif de support présentant plusieurs paires de doigts, et ce dispositif est déplacé en direction de la bande, selon une direction perpendiculaire au plan de celle-ci, de manière à ce que les doigts s'introduisent dans les ouvertures de sachets contigus.This band is brought step by step in front of a support device having several pairs of fingers, and this device is moved in the direction of the band, in a direction perpendicular to the plane thereof, so that the fingers are introduced in contiguous bag openings.
Bien entendu, l'écartement entre une paire déterminée de doigts est sensiblement égal à l'entraxe entre les ouvertures d'un même sachet.Of course, the spacing between a given pair of fingers is substantially equal to the spacing between the openings of the same bag.
Afin que cette opération se déroule dans les meilleures conditions, on donne généralement aux doigts une forme effilée, de manière à ce qu'ils puissent coopérer avec les ouvertures, même quand un défaut de positionnement et/ou d'alignement de la bande intervient.In order that this operation takes place under the best conditions, the fingers are generally given a tapered shape, so that they can cooperate with the openings, even when a defect of positioning and / or alignment of the band occurs.
Malgré cela, il arrive certaines situations extrêmes dans lesquelles les doigts ne se positionnement pas bien, de sorte que la "suspension" des sachets n'est pas satisfaisante, ou n'est pas réalisée.Despite this, there are some extreme situations in which the fingers do not position well, so that the "suspension" of the bags is not satisfactory, or is not performed.
Par ailleurs, lors de l'opération de remplissage d'un sachet, un tube rigide alimenté en semence est introduit entre les deux parois de plastique qui le constitue, pour venir se positionner dans son conduit de remplissage.Furthermore, during the filling operation of a bag, a rigid tube fed with seed is introduced between the two plastic walls which constitutes it, to come to be positioned in its filling duct.
Ce tube constitue une surépaisseur qui occasionne une traction de la matière plastique environnante. Du fait de ces efforts, celle-ci tend à se déformer, en particulier au niveau des ouvertures précitées. Cette déformation n'est pas acceptable, car elle peut affecter la soudure ultérieure du sachet qui est effectuée transversalement au conduit de remplissage, afin de l'obturer.This tube is an extra thickness that causes traction of the surrounding plastic material. Due to these efforts, it tends to deform, especially at the aforementioned openings. This deformation is not acceptable because it can affect the subsequent welding of the bag which is carried transversely to the filling duct, in order to seal it.
Dans
La présente vise notamment à pallier les difficultés indiquées plus hautThe present aims in particular to overcome the difficulties mentioned above
Ainsi, la présente invention concerne donc un sachet de conditionnement d'une substance biologique, telle que de 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 qui comporte, communiquant avec cette poche, un conduit pour son remplissage, ce sachet comportant par ailleurs au moins une paire d'ouvertures disposées de part et d'autre dudit conduit, pour sa suspension, par ces ouvertures, à des doigts complémentaires d'un dispositif de support.Thus, the present invention thus relates to a packaging bag of a biological substance, such as animal semen, which is formed of two plastic walls contiguous so as to define a pocket for receiving said substance, and which comprises, communicating with this pocket, a conduit for its filling, this bag further comprising at least one pair of openings disposed on either side of said conduit, for its suspension, through these openings, to fingers complementary to a device for support.
L'une au moins de ces ouvertures a une forme oblongue, s'étend perpendiculairement par rapport audit conduit.At least one of these openings has an oblong shape, extends perpendicular to said conduit.
Il est remarquable en ce que ladite ouverture comporte une zone formant point dur, dans laquelle elle présente une largeur réduite.It is remarkable that said opening has a hard point area in which it has a reduced width.
Grâce à la présence de cette forme oblongue, la mise en place du sachet sur les doigts d'un dispositif de support va être facilitée. De plus, lors de l'introduction d'un tuyau de remplissage, la "latitude" de mouvement que confère cette forme au sachet permet de compenser les efforts auxquels il est soumis.Thanks to the presence of this oblong shape, the establishment of the bag on the fingers of a support device will be facilitated. In addition, when introducing a filling pipe, the "latitude" of movement that gives this form to the bag compensates for the efforts to which it is subjected.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives :
- ladite ouverture a, vue de face, la forme de deux cercles qui se chevauchent partiellement ;
- le sachet comporte un conduit de vidage de ladite substance ;
- ledit conduit s'étend, relativement à la poche, sensiblement en regard dudit conduit de remplissage ;
- dans ledit conduit de vidage est emmanchée une canule.
- said opening has, in front view, the shape of two partially overlapping circles;
- the bag comprises a conduit for emptying said substance;
- said duct extends, relative to the pocket, substantially opposite said filling duct;
- in said emptying duct is fitted a cannula.
L'invention concerne également une bande de sachets de conditionnement d'une substance biologique, constituée d'une juxtaposition de sachets conformes à l'une des caractéristiques précédentes.The invention also relates to a strip of packaging bags of a biological substance, consisting of a juxtaposition of bags in accordance with one of the preceding characteristics.
Elle concerne aussi un ensemble constitué d'un sachet conforme à l'une des caractéristiques ci-dessus, et d'un support d'accrochage ou de suspension d'un tel sachet qui comprend au moins une paire de doigts de suspension, caractérisé par le fait que l'écartement relatif entre ces doigts est égal à l'entraxe le plus court entre lesdites ouvertures.It also relates to an assembly consisting of a bag conforming to one of the above characteristics, and a support for hanging or suspending such a bag which comprises at least one pair of suspension fingers, characterized by the fact that the relative spacing between these fingers is equal to the shortest spacing between said openings.

La référence 42 est donnée à des saillies qui s'étendent dans la zone intermédiaire de l'ouverture, de largeur inférieure à la zone la plus large de chacune des parties 40, 41. Ces saillies 42, comme on l'indiquera plus loin, matérialisent et constituent un "point dur" au niveau de cette ouverture 4.
L'entraxe d qui a été cité plus haut correspond donc à la distance entre l'axe de l'ouverture 3 et l'axe de l'ouverture 4 au niveau de la partie 40 qui est le plus proche de l'axe X-X'.The center distance d that has been mentioned above therefore corresponds to the distance between the axis of the opening 3 and the axis of the
En revenant à la
Dans l'hypothèse où le support et/ou le sachet sont mal positionnés, il arrive donc que les doigts ne soient pas strictement en regard des ouvertures 3 et 4.In the event that the support and / or the bag are poorly positioned, it happens that the fingers are not strictly
Or, selon la présente invention et comme montré à la
En d'autres termes, la forme oblongue de l'ouverture donne une certaine latitude pour la mise en place du sachet sur le support.In other words, the oblong shape of the opening gives a certain latitude for the establishment of the bag on the support.

Ce tube 5 est relié à un flacon de stockage non représenté, ainsi qu'à une pompe, par exemple de type péristaltique.This tube 5 is connected to a storage bottle, not shown, and to a pump, for example of the peristaltic type.
En vue du remplissage, le tube 5 est déplacé dans le sens de la flèche h de manière à venir s'introduire entre les feuilles 10 et 11, en regard du conduit de remplissage 15.For filling, the tube 5 is moved in the direction of the arrow h so as to be introduced between the
Le remplissage est alors effectué lorsque ce tube occupe la position de la
Du fait que les deux feuilles 10 et 11 du sachet sont en une matière généralement rigide et, de plus, solidaires l'une de l'autre en de nombreux endroits, l'introduction du tube 5, qui constitue une surépaisseur, conduit à mettre le sachet sous tension. Cela se traduit par des zones de déformation illustrées par les deux flèches j.Because the two
Toutefois, grâce à la présence de l'ouverture 4 de forme oblongue, ce phénomène est limité, voire réduit, puisque cette déformation est compensée par un glissement de l'ouverture 4 en question, le long du doigt 21 associé. La
La fermeture du sachet après remplissage, qui est réalisée par soudage transversal au niveau du conduit 15, peut alors être mise en oeuvre dans les meilleures conditions.The closure of the bag after filling, which is performed by transverse welding at the

Cette sonde, référencée 6, comprend un tube 60 en matière plastique semi-rigide, avec à une de ses extrémités, un tampon 61 en matériau mousse.This probe, referenced 6, comprises a
II s'agit là d'une structure généralement connue en soi.This is a structure generally known per se.
En vue de connecter la sonde au sachet, pour réaliser l'insémination d'une truie, on procède à l'ouverture du sachet de manière à dégager l'extrémité inférieure de la canule 17 et on procède à la connexion de la sonde 6 sur la canule 17, par l'extrémité du tube 60 opposée au tampon 61.In order to connect the probe to the bag, in order to inseminate a sow, the sachet is opened so as to disengage the lower end of the
La semence s'écoule alors par gravité, de la poche P jusqu'à la sonde 6.The seed then flows by gravity from pocket P to probe 6.
Afin d'éviter tout refoulement de semence, il est assez courant que le technicien réalisant l'insémination procède au coudage de la sonde 6 dans une zone repérée 62 sur la
Lorsque ce coudage est réalisé, le tube a malheureusement tendance à revenir naturellement à sa position de départ dans laquelle les deux parties 620 et 621 communiquent librement. Pour éviter cela, l'inséminateur est constamment obligé de tenir la sonde en position repliée, à l'aide d'une de ses mains.When this bend is made, the tube unfortunately tends to return naturally to its starting position in which the two
Conformément à l'invention, il lui est possible, en saisissant le sachet 1 et en le retournant sur lui-même dans le sens de la flèche k, de venir positionner l'ouverture oblongue 4 en regard de la zone coudée 62 de manière à ce que celle-ci vienne ceinturer cette zone coudée.According to the invention, it is possible for it, by grasping the
En forçant légèrement le sachet dans cette région, l'ouverture 4 se déforme et enserre fortement la zone coudée, de sorte que la sonde est irrémédiablement immobilisée dans cette position.By slightly forcing the bag in this region, the
Dans une forme de réalisation non représentée, le sachet 1 pourrait comporter non pas une, mais deux ouvertures oblongues.In an embodiment not shown, the
Par ailleurs, l'invention s'applique bien entendu à tout sachet de conditionnement, que celui-ci présente ou non un conduit de vidage distinct du conduit de remplissage.Furthermore, the invention naturally applies to any packaging bag, whether or not it has a separate emptying duct of the filling duct.
