Abstract

The device comprises two storage chambers (A, B), one for each of the two components, which can be linked by piercing a closing disk (4) which separates them at first. Said chambers (A, B) consist of two interlocking and mutually slidable cylindrical tubes (1, 5), one of which (1) comprises a closed end and is provided near its other end with said pierceable disk (4). The other cylindrical chamber (5) also comprises a closed end but its other end (6) is open and includes a bevelled edge (7) for piercing the disk (4) when the said chambers are pushed together. The two chambers (A, B) can therefore be linked by a simple gesture to mix the components together or to dissolve them as and when they are needed.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif, conçu pour stocker séparément deux constituants avant leur emploi, et pour mettre les deux constituants en présence l'un de l'autre seulement au moment de leur emploi.The present invention relates to a device, designed to store two components separately before their use, and to put the two components in the presence of each other only at the time of their use.

Mis en solution dans un solvant aqueux ou organique, certains composés organiques ou organo-métalliques deviennent instables et perdent rapidement leur activité chimique spécifique (oxydante par exemple), d'où la nécessité de ne les mettre en présence qu'au moment de leur emploi.Dissolved in an aqueous or organic solvent, certain organic or organometallic compounds become unstable and quickly lose their specific chemical activity (oxidizing for example), hence the need to put them in presence only at the time of their use .

Compte tenu de ce type d'exigence, on a déjà proposé des dispositifs pour stocker séparément deux constituants et les mettre en présence au moment de l'emploi. De tels dispositifs comportent généralement deux réservoirs, contenant respectivement les deux constituants et mis en communication dans un mouvement relatif en perforant un opercule qui les sépare initialement. Cependant les dispositifs de ce genre actuellement proposés, pouvant être classés en plusieurs catégories, conservent tous des inconvénients :

  • Dispositifs constitués par deux réservoirs directement assemblés l'un sur l'autre (voir par exemple FR-A-2 495 578) : la perforation de l'opercule s'effectue par un mouvement relatif de vissage, et ainsi le geste nécessaire avant l'emploi est relativement incommode.
  • Dispositifs constitués par deux réservoirs assemblés par l'intermédiaire d'un troisième élément qui forme un genre de raccord et qui comporte l'opercule séparateur (voir par exemple FR-A-2 049 527) : la structure est relativement complexe et coûteuse, puisqu'elle nécessite, au total, trois éléments distincts.
  • Dispositifs dont l'un des deux réservoirs est intégré à un bouchon, l'autre réservoir étant notamment un flacon obturé par ce bouchon (voir par exemple : FR-A-2 242 303, DE-A-3 208 786, EP-A-0 090 361) : ces dispositifs nécessitent eux aussi, généralement, plus de deux éléments, souvent en raison d'un élément spécial destiné à la perforation de l'opercule, et leur application est limitée au cas où, en fonction des caractéristiques des constituants, l'un de ceux-ci n'occupe qu'un faible volume et peut être stocké dans un petit réservoir incorporé au bouchon.
Given this type of requirement, devices have already been proposed for storing two components separately and bringing them into contact at the time of use. Such devices generally comprise two reservoirs, respectively containing the two constituents and placed in communication in a relative movement by perforating a seal which separates them initially. However, the devices of this kind currently proposed, which can be classified into several categories, all retain drawbacks:
  • Devices constituted by two tanks directly assembled one on the other (see for example FR-A-2 495 578): the perforation of the cover is effected by a relative screwing movement, and thus the necessary gesture before the is relatively inconvenient.
  • Devices constituted by two tanks assembled by means of a third element which forms a kind of connection and which comprises the separating cap (see for example FR-A-2 049 527): the structure is relatively complex and expensive, since '' it requires, in total, three distinct elements.
  • Devices one of the two reservoirs of which is integrated into a stopper, the other reservoir being in particular a bottle closed by this stopper (see for example: FR-A-2 242 303, DE-A-3 208 786, EP-A -0 090 361): these devices also generally require more than two elements, often due to a special element intended for the perforation of the cover, and their application is limited to the case where, depending on the characteristics of the components, one of them occupies only a small volume and can be stored in a small tank incorporated in the cap.

La présente invention vise à éliminer ces inconvénients, en fournissant un dispositif d'une grande simplicité de structure et d'utilisation, le dispositif proposé étant composé de deux pièces seulement, qui en assurent à elles seules toutes les fonctions, et ce dispositif permettant de mettre les deux constituants en présence par un geste extrêmement simple.The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks, by providing a device of great simplicity in structure and use, the proposed device being composed of only two parts, which provide for them. only all the functions, and this device making it possible to bring the two constituents together by an extremely simple gesture.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif pour stocker séparément deux constituants et les mettre en présence au moment de l'emploi, comportant deux réservoirs contenant respectivement les deux constituants et mis en communication dans un mouvement relatif en perforant un opercule qui les sépare initialement, les deux réservoirs étant conformés comme des tubes sensiblement cylindriques qui s'interpénètrent et peuvent coulisser l'un par rapport à l'autre, l'un des tubes-réservoirs cylindriques comportant une extrémité fermée et étant équipé de l'opercule, tandis que l'autre tube-réservoir cylindrique, également fermé à une extrémité, comporte une autre extrémité ouverte et est agencé pour l'enfoncement de l'opercule par rapprochement des deux tubes-réservoirs (un tel dispositif est connu de FR-A-2 049 527), le dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il est composé de deux pièces seulement, à savoir une première pièce constituant le tube-réservoir avec son opercule, et une seconde pièce constituant l'autre tube-réservoir et portant un biseau cranté pour l'enfoncement de l'opercule.To this end, the invention relates to a device for separately storing two constituents and bringing them into contact at the time of use, comprising two reservoirs respectively containing the two constituents and placed in communication in a relative movement by perforating a seal which separates them initially, the two tanks being shaped like substantially cylindrical tubes which interpenetrate and can slide relative to each other, one of the cylindrical tank tubes having a closed end and being fitted with the cover, while that the other cylindrical reservoir tube, also closed at one end, has another open end and is arranged for the insertion of the cover by bringing the two reservoir tubes together (such a device is known from FR-A-2 049 527), the device being characterized in that it is composed of only two parts, namely a first part constituting the reservoir tube with its cover, and a second piece constituting the other reservoir tube and carrying a notched bevel for the insertion of the cover.

Ainsi, le dispositif objet de l'invention est réalisé au moyen de deux éléments seulement, conformés en tubes-réservoirs, chacun d'eux étant fermé à une extrémité et l'un pénètrant dans l'autre pour former une structure cylindrique télescopique, tandis que l'opercule perforable, de faible épaisseur et disposé perpendiculairement à l'axe du dispositif, assure au départ une parfaite étanchéité au niveau de la séparation des deux constituants. La mise en communication des deux réservoirs, et par voie de conséquence la mise en présence des deux constituants, s'effectue par rapprochement relatif des deux tubes, dans un simple mouvement de coulissement obtenu par un geste très simple et rapide. La partie biseautée de l'un des tubes vient alors perforer l'opercule, et le maintient dans une position ou un état tel que l'intercommunication entre les deux réservoirs soit totale et permanente.Thus, the device which is the subject of the invention is produced by means of only two elements, shaped as reservoir tubes, each of them being closed at one end and one penetrating into the other to form a telescopic cylindrical structure, while that the perforable seal, of small thickness and arranged perpendicular to the axis of the device, ensures at the outset a perfect seal at the separation of the two constituents. The connection of the two reservoirs, and consequently the bringing together of the two constituents, is carried out by relative approximation of the two tubes, in a simple sliding movement obtained by a very simple and rapid gesture. The beveled part of one of the tubes then perforates the cover, and maintains it in a position or state such that the intercommunication between the two tanks is total and permanent.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le biseau cranté est porté directement par l'extrémité ouverte, et tournée vers l'opercule, du second tube-réservoir cylindrique, lequel est monté coulissant à l'intérieur du premier tube-réservoir cylindrique, équipé de l'opercule. Dans une variante, le second tube-réservoir cylindrique est monté coulissant à l'extérieur du premier tube-réservoir cylindrique, équipé de l'opercule tandis que le biseau cranté est rattaché à l'extrémité du second tube-réservoir cylindrique éloignée de l'opercule.According to one embodiment of the invention, the notched bevel is carried directly by the open end, and turned towards the cover, of the second cylindrical reservoir tube, which is slidably mounted inside the first cylindrical reservoir tube , equipped with the cover. In a variant, the second cylindrical reservoir tube is slidably mounted outside the first cylindrical reservoir tube, equipped with the cover while the notched bevel is attached to the end of the second cylindrical reservoir tube remote from the operculum.

Au cours de l'opération de rapprochement des deux tubes-réservoirs et de perforation de l'opercule, la mise en équilibre des pressions intérieure et extérieure est assurée soit par un orifice de très petit diamètre ménagé dans la paroi du second tube-réservoir cylindrique, soit par une soupape tarée également portée par la paroi du second tube-réservoir.During the operation of bringing together the two reservoir tubes and perforating the cover, the balancing of the internal and external pressures is ensured either by a very small diameter orifice formed in the wall of the second cylindrical reservoir tube , either by a calibrated valve also carried by the wall of the second reservoir tube.

Une fois mise en présence, les deux constituants peuvent être mélangés, s'ils sont en phases solide/solide ou liquide/liquide. Ces constituants peuvent aussi être mis en solution, s'ils sont en phases solide/liquide. En secouant le dispositif avec une seule main, on peut homogénéiser le mélange ou activer la mise en solution. Le mélange ou la solution, ainsi constitué peut être ensuite aisément récupéré, simplement en séparant les deux tubes-réservoirs, de sorte que le contenu final du dispositif peut s'écouler dans un récipient destiné à recueillir le mélange ou la solution.Once brought into contact, the two constituents can be mixed, if they are in solid / solid or liquid / liquid phases. These constituents can also be dissolved, if they are in solid / liquid phases. By shaking the device with one hand, you can homogenize the mixture or activate the dissolution. The mixture or the solution thus formed can then be easily recovered, simply by separating the two reservoir tubes, so that the final content of the device can flow into a container intended to collect the mixture or the solution.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes d'exécution de ce dispositif pour stocker séparément deux constituants et les mettre en présence au moment de l'emploi :

  • Figure 1 représente, en coupe et à l'état initial, le dispositif selon l'invention, dans une première forme d'exécution ;
  • Figure 2 montre le même dispositif après mise en communication des deux réservoirs ;
  • Figure 3 est une vue similaire à figure 1, relative à une seconde forme d'exécution de ce dispositif.
In any case, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting examples, two embodiments of this device for storing two components separately and put them in the presence at the time of use:
  • Figure 1 shows, in section and in the initial state, the device according to the invention, in a first embodiment;
  • Figure 2 shows the same device after connecting the two tanks;
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, relating to a second embodiment of this device.

En se référant aux figures 1 et 2, le dispositif comporte un tube femelle de section circulaire 1 fermé à une extrémité, laquelle est percée d'un orifice de remplissage 2 équipé d'un moyen amovible de fermeture 3. Un opercule 4 de très faible épaisseur (de l'ordre de deux dixièmes de millimètres par exemple), notamment dans le cas où le dispositif est réalisé en matière élastique, est disposé à une distance prédéterminée de l'orifice du tube 1.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the device comprises a female tube of circular section 1 closed at one end, which is pierced with a filling orifice 2 equipped with a removable closure means 3. A cover 4 of very low thickness (of the order of two tenths of a millimeter for example), in particular in the case where the device is made of elastic material, is disposed at a predetermined distance from the orifice of the tube 1.

Un tube mâle 5 pénètre dans le tube femelle 1, son extrémité 6 jouxtant l'opercule 4. Cette extrémité 6 est taillée en biseau selon un profil particulier, lequel présente un cran 7 en marche d'escalier. L'extrémité fermée du tube mâle 5 comporte un rebord annulaire 8 qui sert de butée au tube femelle 1 lorsque l'on rapproche les deux tubes 1 et 5. Un orifice de mise en équipression 9 d'un dixième de millimètre de diamètre par exemple est percé perpendiculairement à l'axe du tube 5 à une distance du rebord 8 à déterminer en fonction des caractéristiques dimensionnelles de l'ensemble.A male tube 5 penetrates into the female tube 1, its end 6 adjoining the cover 4. This end 6 is cut in a bevel according to a particular profile, which has a notch 7 on the staircase. The closed end of the male tube 5 has an annular rim 8 which serves as a stop for the female tube 1 when the two tubes 1 and 5 are brought closer together. An equipping port 9 of a tenth of a millimeter in diameter for example is drilled perpendicular to the axis of the tube 5 at a distance from the flange 8 to be determined according to the dimensional characteristics of the assembly.

Le remplissage du réservoir B formé par le tube 5, s'effectue par l'orifice de ce réservoir qui est maintenu en position verticale ; celui du réservoir A formé par le tube 1 s'effectue par l'orifice 2, obturé ensuite par le moyen de fermeture 3. L'ensemble étant toujours maintenu en position verticale, on procède à l'interpénétration des deux tubes 1 et 5, l'opercule 4 servant de butée en position initiale pour l'extrémité biseautée 6 du tube mâle 5 (position montrée à la figure 1).The filling of the reservoir B formed by the tube 5 is carried out by the orifice of this reservoir which is kept in the vertical position; that of the reservoir A formed by the tube 1 is effected by the orifice 2, then closed by the closure means 3. The assembly being always maintained in a vertical position, the two tubes 1 and 5 are interpenetrated, the cover 4 serving as a stop in the initial position for the beveled end 6 of the male tube 5 (position shown in Figure 1).

Selon une variante non illustrée, I'extrémité fermée du tube femelle 1 peut être constituée par un bouchon équipé d'une mini-soupape tarée, ce dispositif suppléant alors à l'orifice 9 de mise en équipression.According to a variant not illustrated, the closed end of the female tube 1 can be constituted by a plug fitted with a tared mini-valve, this device then replacing the orifice 9 of equipping.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le dispositif, en position initiale, a des dimensions de l'ordre de 20cm pour la longueur totale et de 2cm pour le diamètre extérieur, les volumes des réservoirs A et B étant alors respectivement de 25 et 7 centimètres cubes.By way of nonlimiting example, the device, in the initial position, has dimensions of the order of 20 cm for the total length and 2 cm for the outside diameter, the volumes of the tanks A and B then being respectively 25 and 7 cubic centimeters.

La figure 3 montre une autre forme de réalisation, dont le principe et les fonctions restent les mêmes et pour laquelle les éléments correspondants sont désignés par les mêmes repères que sur les figures 1 et 2. Les différences notables, par rapport à la première forme de réalisation, sont les suivantes :

  • L'opercule 4, qui précédemment était rigide et qui basculait sous l'effet du biseau, est remplacé par un opercule déchirable qui est détruit en appuyant sur le tube 5.
  • Cet opercule déchirable 4 est situé à l'extrémité du tube 1, et non plus à distance de cette extrémité.
  • Le tube 5, comportant le biseau cranté 7, n'est pas guidé par l'intérieur du tube 1 mais vient coiffer ce tube 1 par l'extérieur, en formant une sorte de convercle.
  • Le biseau cranté 7 n'est pas formé par l'extrémité 6 du tube 5 jouxtant l'opercule 4, mais il se rattache à l'extrémité opposée de ce tube 5.
  • L'orifice de remplissage et le moyen de fermeture sont supprimés, le constituant remplissant le réservoir A étant introduit avant scellement de l'opercule 4 sur le tube 1.
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, the principle and functions of which remain the same and for which the corresponding elements are designated by the same references as in FIGS. 1 and 2. The notable differences, compared with the first form of are the following:
  • The cover 4, which previously was rigid and which tilted under the effect of the bevel, is replaced by a tear-off cover which is destroyed by pressing on the tube 5.
  • This tearable lid 4 is located at the end of the tube 1, and no longer at a distance from this end.
  • The tube 5, comprising the notched bevel 7, is not guided by the inside of the tube 1 but comes to cap this tube 1 from the outside, forming a sort of converge.
  • The notched bevel 7 is not formed by the end 6 of the tube 5 adjoining the cover 4, but it is attached to the opposite end of this tube 5.
  • The filling orifice and the closing means are eliminated, the component filling the reservoir A being introduced before sealing the cover 4 on the tube 1.

De plus, la surface extérieure du tube 5 comporte une partie striée ou moletée 10, facilitant le maniement du dispositif, tandis que sur la surface intérieure de ce tube 5 sont formés des petits bossages 11 qui, en position initiale (telle que représentée sur la figure 3), permettent de positionner ledit tube 5 sur l'autre tube 1, dans une disposition relative telle que le biseau cranté 7 soit maintenu à distance de l'opercule 4.In addition, the outer surface of the tube 5 has a striated or knurled portion 10, facilitating the handling of the device, while on the inner surface of this tube 5 are formed small bosses 11 which, in the initial position (as shown in the FIG. 3), allow said tube 5 to be positioned on the other tube 1, in a relative arrangement such that the notched bevel 7 is kept at a distance from the cover 4.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à être intégré à un appareil de décontamination individuelle à usage essentiellement militaire.The device according to the invention is particularly intended to be integrated into an individual decontamination device for essentially military use.
