Entre la paroi cylindrique 36 et l'extrémité inférieure du tronc tubulaire 50 est défini un espace annulaire 52.Moreover, the body 16 has a tubular trunk 50 extending the cylindrical wall 32 of the cap. The tubular trunk 50 surrounds the side wall 36. Between the cylindrical wall 36 and the lower end of the tubular trunk 50 is defined an annular space 52.

Le tronc tubulaire 50 présente des lumières longitudinales et des fenêtres assurant l'enclenchement élastique de saillies ménagées sur l'équipage mobile 20 de retenue de la carpule et sur l'entretoise 22.The tubular trunk 50 has longitudinal lumens and windows ensuring the elastic engagement of protrusions provided on the crew movable 20 for retaining the carpule and on the spacer 22.

L'entretoise 22 présente, à une extrémité inférieure, une embase 60 en forme de cloche adaptée pour s'engager autour de la cuvette 34. A son autre extrémité libre, elle présente un profil 62 d'accrochage et d'appui sur le piston de la carpule.The spacer 22 has, at a lower end, a base 60 shaped bell adapted to engage around the bowl 34. At its other free end, it has a profile 62 for attachment and support on the piston of the carpule.

Plus précisément, l'entretoise 22 présente une paroi cylindrique 64 entourant axialement l'aiguille 24. Le diamètre extérieur de la paroi cylindrique 64 est inférieure au diamètre intérieur du réservoir de la carpule, afin de permettre à l'entretois de pénétrer dans la carpule.More specifically, the spacer 22 has a cylindrical wall 64 axially surrounding the needle 24. The outer diameter of the cylindrical wall 64 is smaller than the inside diameter of the carpule tank, in order to allow the spacer to penetrate the carpule.

L'embase 60 est venue de matière à l'extrémité de la paroi cylindrique 64. Cette embase présente une jupe périphérique 66 adaptée pour être reçue dans l'espace annulaire 52. Cette jupe est reliée à la paroi cylindrique 64 par une couronne 68.The base 60 is integral with the end of the cylindrical wall 64. This base has a peripheral skirt 66 adapted to be received in the annular space 52. This skirt is connected to the cylindrical wall 64 by a crown 68.

A son extrémité libre, la jupe 66 présente extérieurement deux saillies d'encliquetage 70 diamétralement opposées. Ces saillies sont adaptées pour être reçues, comme illustré sur la figure 3, dans deux fenêtres 72 ménagées dans le tronc tubulaire 50 du corps. Ces fenêtres 72 sont ménagées à l'écart de la coiffe 30.At its free end, the skirt 66 externally has two protrusions latch 70 diametrically opposed. These projections are adapted to be received, as illustrated in Figure 3, in two windows 72 arranged in the tubular trunk 50 of the body. These windows 72 are arranged away from the cap 30.

Deux fenêtres identiques 74 sont ménagées au voisinage de la coiffe 29 et sont adaptées pour recevoir les saillies d'encliquetage 70 après déplacement de l'entretoise 22 le long de l'aiguille 24 en direction du flacon 14.Two identical windows 74 are formed in the vicinity of the cap 29 and are adapted to receive the latching projections 70 after displacement of the spacer 22 along the needle 24 towards the bottle 14.

A l'autre extrémité de la paroi cylindrique 64, le profil 62 d'accrochage et d'appui du piston perforable de la carpule comporte un embout fileté 75 s'étendant axialement dans le prolongement de la paroi cylindrique 64. Cet embout fileté a un diamètre extérieur réduit et présente un filetage extérieur adapté pour coopérer avec un filet ménagé dans un évidement taraudé du piston perforable 27 de la carpule. At the other end of the cylindrical wall 64, the hanging profile 62 and support of the pierceable piston of the carpule has a threaded end 75 extending axially in the extension of the cylindrical wall 64. threaded end has a reduced outer diameter and has an external thread adapted to cooperate with a thread formed in a threaded recess of the perforable piston 27 of the carpule.

Un épaulement 76 est ménagé à l'extrémité de la paroi cylindrique 64 afin d'assurer la liaison de cette paroi 64 à l'embout 75. Cet épaulement permet par ailleurs l'appui du piston de la carpule.A shoulder 76 is provided at the end of the cylindrical wall 64 to ensure the connection of this wall 64 to the tip 75. This shoulder also allows the support of the piston of the carpule.

L'embout 75 est prolongé à l'intérieur du corps cylindrique par un collet 77. L'embout 75 et le collet 77 délimitent intérieurement un passage 78 de guidage de l'aiguille 24 et notamment de son tronçon d'extrémité achevé par l'extrémité de perforation 24B. Les dimensions de l'aiguille 24 et des différents constituants de l'entretoise 22 sont telles que, lorsque l'entretoise 22 est dans sa position initiale, avec les saillies d'encliquetage 70 reçues dans les fenêtres 72 (figures 3 et 4), l'extrémité de perforation 24B de l'aiguille est disposée à l'intérieur du passage 78.The tip 75 is extended inside the cylindrical body by a collar 77. The tip 75 and collar 77 internally define a passage 78 guiding the needle 24 and in particular its completed end section by the perforation end 24B. The dimensions of the needle 24 and the different components of the spacer 22 are such that when the spacer 22 is in its initial position, with the latching projections 70 received in windows 72 (FIGS. 3 and 4), the perforation end 24B of the needle is disposed within the passageway 78.

L'équipage mobile 20 de support et de déplacement du réservoir de la carpule comporte un support de carpule 80 et un capuchon 82 vissé sur le support de carpule. Entre ceux-ci est délimité un logement 84 d'immobilisation axiale du réservoir 25 de la carpule.The mobile equipment 20 for supporting and moving the reservoir of the carpule comprises a carpule holder 80 and a cap 82 screwed on the carpule support. Between these is delimited an immobilization housing 84 axial of the reservoir 25 of the carpule.

Le support de carpule 80 présente un tronçon tubulaire 86 dont le diamètre intérieur correspond au diamètre extérieur du réservoir 25 de la carpule. Ce tronçon tubulaire présente sur sa surface extérieure un filetage adapté pour coopérer avec un filetage complémentaire ménagé à l'extrémité du capuchon 82. Ce dernier présente une paroi latérale cylindrique 88 dans laquelle est partiellement reçu le tronçon tubulaire 86 du support de carpule. Cette paroi latérale 88 est obturée par une paroi transversale 90 formant une surface d'appui pour la main.The carpule support 80 has a tubular section 86 whose inner diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the tank 25 of the cartridge. This tubular section has on its outer surface a thread adapted to cooperate with a complementary thread formed at the end 82. The latter has a cylindrical side wall 88 in which is partially received the tubular section 86 of the carpule support. This side wall 88 is closed by a transverse wall 90 forming a support surface for the hand.

A son extrémité opposée au capuchon 82, le tronçon cylindrique présente une couronne 91 formant un épaulement pour l'appui de l'extrémité arrière du réservoir. La couronne 91 est prolongée par une lèvre périphérique 92 entourant la paroi cylindrique 64 de l'entretoise afin d'assurer un guidage axial de l'équipage mobile 20 par rapport à l'entretoise 22.At its end opposite to the cap 82, the cylindrical section presents a crown 91 forming a shoulder for the support of the end rear of the tank. The ring 91 is extended by a peripheral lip 92 surrounding the cylindrical wall 64 of the spacer to provide guidance axial of the moving element 20 relative to the spacer 22.

En outre, le support 80 présente une jupe extérieure 94 entourant le tronçon tubulaire 86 entre le filetage permettant la liaison du capuchon 82 et l'extrémité du tronçon 86 équipée de la lèvre 92. Cette jupe 94 présente extérieurement une première paire de saillies d'encliquetage 98 diamétralement opposées et adaptées pour être reçues initialement dans deux fenêtres 100 ménagées au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du tronçon tubulaire du corps. En outre, une autre paire de saillies 104 diamétralement opposées sont ménagées extérieurement à l'extrémité libre de la jupe 94. Celles-ci sont reçues dans des fentes longitudinales 106 diamétralement opposées s'étendant suivant l'essentiel de la longueur du tronc tubulaire 50 du corps.In addition, the support 80 has an outer skirt 94 surrounding the tubular section 86 between the threading allowing the connection of the cap 82 and the end of the section 86 equipped with the lip 92. This skirt 94 is externally a first pair of snap protrusions 98 diametrically opposed and adapted to be initially received in two windows 100 in the vicinity of the upper end of the tubular section from the body. In addition, another pair of protrusions 104 diametrically opposed are provided externally at the free end of the skirt 94. These are received in diametrically opposed longitudinal slots 106 extending along most of the length of the tubular trunk 50 of body.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de transfert va maintenant être décrit en regard des figures 3 à 7.The operation of the transfer device will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

Le dispositif est initialement dans l'état de stockage représentée sur la figure 3. Dans cet état, aucun flacon ni carpule n'est mis en place dans le dispositif.The device is initially in the storage state represented on the In this state, no vial or carpule is placed in the device.

La carpule 12 est d'abord mise en place dans l'équipage mobile 20, comme illustré sur la figure 4. A cet effet, le capuchon 82 est dévissé du support de carpule 80. La carpule est alors introduite avec son extrémité arrière engagée dans l'espace délimité par le tronçon cylindrique 86. Le piston perforable 27 est vissé sur l'embout 75 de l'entretoise. Dans cette position, l'extrémité arrière de la carpule prend appui contre la couronne 91 du support de carpule 80. Le bouchon 82 est alors revissé sur le support de carpule 80. Ce vissage est effectué jusqu'à ce que la paroi transversale 90 du capuchon prenne appui sur l'extrémité avant de la carpule, de sorte que le réservoir 25 de la carpule est solidarisé axialement par rapport à l'équipage mobile 20.The carpule 12 is first put in place in the mobile equipment 20, as illustrated in FIG. 4. For this purpose, the cap 82 is unscrewed from cartridge holder 80. The carpule is then introduced with its end rear engaged in the space delimited by the cylindrical section 86. The piston perforable 27 is screwed on the tip 75 of the spacer. In this position, the rear end of the carpule bears against the crown 91 of the cartridge holder 80. The cap 82 is then screwed onto the support of cartridge 80. This screwing is done until the transverse wall 90 the cap bears on the front end of the carpule, so that the tank 25 of the carpule is secured axially relative to the crew mobile 20.

Le flacon 14 est ensuite engagé dans le logement 30, comme illustré sur la figure 4. Le flacon 14 est retenue dans le logement 30 par les saillies d'enclenchement élastique 40 appliquées contre l'épaulement 29.The bottle 14 is then engaged in the housing 30, as illustrated in Figure 4. The bottle 14 is retained in the housing 30 by the projections snap-fastener 40 applied against the shoulder 29.

Lors de la mise en place du goulot dans la coiffe 20, l'opercule perforable 28 est perforé par l'aiguille de transfert 24 depuis son extrémité 24A.When placing the neck in the cap 20, the pierceable lid 28 is perforated by the transfer needle 24 from its end 24A.

Dans cette position, une force de pression est ensuite appliquée sur le capuchon 90 visant à rapprocher celui-ci du corps 50. Sous l'action de cette pression, les saillies 70 immobilisant initialement l'entretoise 22 dans sa position initiale se dégagent des fenêtres 72, permettant ainsi un déplacement de l'entretoise 22 et du piston perforable solidarisé à celle-ci en direction du flacon 14 le long de l'aiguille 24. Ce déplacement s'effectue jusqu'à ce que les saillies d'encliquetage 70 soient reçues dans les fenêtres 74.In this position, a pressing force is then applied to the cap 90 to bring it closer to the body 50. Under the action of this pressure, the protrusions 70 initially immobilizing the spacer 22 in its initial position emerges from the windows 72, thus allowing a displacement of the spacer 22 and the perforable piston secured thereto in the direction of of the bottle 14 along the needle 24. This movement takes place until the latching projections 70 are received in the windows 74.

Simultanément, l'équipage mobile 20 est amené à se déplacer le long du corps. En particulier, les saillies d'encliquetage 98 se dégagent des fenêtres 100, autorisant ainsi un coulissement de l'équipage mobile 20 à l'intérieur du tronc tubulaire 50 du corps.Simultaneously, the moving equipment 20 is caused to move along from the body. In particular, the snap protrusions 98 emerge from the windows 100, thus permitting a sliding of the mobile assembly 20 inside tubular trunk 50 of the body.

Lors de ce déplacement, le piston 27 de la carpule se trouve perforé par l'extrémité 24B de l'aiguille, de sorte que, à l'issue du déplacement de l'entretoise 22, et comme illustré sur la figure 5, le flacon 14 et la carpule 12 sont mis en communication au travers de l'aiguille 24.During this movement, the piston 27 of the cartridge is perforated end 24B of the needle, so that at the end of the displacement of the spacer 22, and as illustrated in FIG. 5, the bottle 14 and the cartridge 12 are communicated through the needle 24.

Lors de la poursuite du déplacement, le piston perforé de la carpule est maintenu en appui sur l'entretoise 22 et est ainsi immobilisé par rapport au corps. Le corps de la carpule étant déplacé par le coulissement de l'équipage mobile 20, un déplacement relatif entre le piston et le corps de carpule se produit, le piston s'enfonçant progressivement dans le corps. Le liquide contenu dans la carpule se trouve alors éjecté au travers de l'aiguille 24 jusque dans le flacon 14.As the displacement continues, the perforated piston of the carpule is held in abutment on the spacer 22 and is thus immobilized relative to the body. The body of the carpule being displaced by the sliding of the crew mobile 20, a relative displacement between the piston and the body of carpule occurs, the piston gradually sinking into the body. The liquid contained in the carpule is then ejected through the needle 24 to in the bottle 14.

Les saillies 104 reçues dans les fentes longitudinales 106 assurent un guidage en translation et une immobilisation en rotation de l'équipage mobile par rapport au corps. Lors du coulissement, les saillies d'encliquetage 98 sont également reçues dans les fentes 106.The projections 104 received in the longitudinal slots 106 provide a translation guiding and immobilization in rotation of the moving equipment relative to the body. When sliding, the snap protrusions 98 are also received in the slots 106.

Le déplacement s'effectue jusqu'à ce que le piston 27 atteigne l'extrémité avant de la carpule, comme illustré sur la figure 6.The displacement is carried out until the piston 27 reaches the end before the carpule, as shown in Figure 6.

Dans cette position, le dispositif est légèrement secoué afin d'assurer une dissolution du lyophilisât dans le solvant contenu initialement dans la carpule.In this position, the device is slightly shaken to ensure a dissolution of the lyophilizate in the solvent initially contained in the cartridge.

Pour provoquer un nouveau transfert du mélange contenu dans le flacon 14, le dispositif est entièrement retourné. Ainsi, le flacon 14 se trouve au dessus de la carpule. En particulier, l'extrémité 24A de l'aiguille se trouve dans la partie inférieure du flacon permettant un prélèvement par aspiration de l'essentiel du mélange contenu. L'aspiration est assurée par l'équipage mobile 20 qui est ramené à l'écart du flacon 14. A cet effet, le corps 16 est maintenu dans une main alors que le capuchon 90 est tiré suivant la direction de l'aiguille. Lors de ce déplacement, le piston 27 traversé par l'aiguille 24 est maintenu immobilisé par rapport au corps du fait de l'enclenchement des saillies d'encliquetage 70 dans les fenêtres 74. Au contraire, l'équipage mobile 20 auquel est solidarisé le réservoir cylindrique 25 se déplace à l'intérieur du corps suivant la direction de l'aiguille 24, de sorte que le piston se déplace par rapport au réservoir cylindrique, créant ainsi une dépression dans la carpule, laquelle provoque le rappel du mélange contenu dans le flacon 14.To cause a new transfer of the mixture contained in the bottle 14, the device is completely returned. Thus, the bottle 14 is above the carpule. In particular, the end 24A of the needle is in the lower part of the bottle allowing suction sampling of the essence of the contained mixture. The aspiration is ensured by the crew mobile 20 which is brought away from the bottle 14. For this purpose, the body 16 is held in one hand while the hood 90 is pulled in the direction of the needle. During this movement, the piston 27 crossed by the needle 24 is held immobilized relative to the body due to the engagement latching protrusions 70 in the windows 74. On the contrary, the crew mobile 20 which is secured to the cylindrical tank 25 moves inside of the body in the direction of the needle 24, so that the piston moves relative to the cylindrical tank, creating a depression in the carpule, which causes the recall of the mixture contained in the bottle 14.

Le déplacement de l'équipage mobile 20 est interrompu lorsque les sailles d'encliquetage 98 atteignent l'extrémité supérieure des fentes longitudinales 106. La présence des saillies 98 et des butées d'arrêt formées par les extrémités des fentes 106 permet d'éviter que l'équipage mobile 20 ne soit trop écarté du corps, évitant ainsi tout risque de déboítement accidentel du piston 27 hors du réservoir 25.The displacement of the moving equipment 20 is interrupted when the snap-on tongues 98 reach the upper end of the longitudinal slots 106. The presence of the protrusions 98 and stops formed by the ends of the slots 106 makes it possible to prevent the mobile assembly 20 from is too far from the body, thus avoiding any risk of unintentional dislocation piston 27 out of the tank 25.

Le capuchon 82 est enfin démonté et la carpule est extraite de l'équipage mobile. Cette carpule est ensuite utilisée afin de procéder à une injection après que celle-ci a été équipée d'une aiguille d'injection et d'une tige poussoir vissée dans le piston perforable.The cap 82 is finally removed and the carpule is extracted from the crew mobile. This carpule is then used to make an injection after it has been equipped with an injection needle and a rod pusher screwed into the pierceable piston.
