  • a keying system is provided for allowing a tube to be easily inserted and replaced in a pressure plate, while also ensuring the proper use and precluding the improper removal of the tube from the pressure plate.
  • a keying system includes the cooperation of certain features on tube 16 with certain features of channel 42. Specifically, tube 16 includes the large diameter portion 48, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.
  • tube 16 includes a rigid plastic ring 50 ( Figure 4) which completely surrounds the circumference of tube 16. Rigid plastic ring 50 is securely mounted to tube 16, and is not allowed to slide along the surface of tube 16. The function of large diameter portion 48 and ring 50 will be explained below in conjunction with the details regarding channel 42.
  • Channel 42 includes an inlet tube slot 44 and an outlet tube slot 46.
  • Inlet tube slot 44 is generally an elongated cavity extending from second side edge 40 through pressure plate 10 and communicating with top surface 32.

Outlet tube slot 46 is a voided area between an upper portion 66 and lower portion 68 of pressure plate 10. Outlet tube slot 46 allows first small diameter portion 17 of tube 16 to be slideably accommodated and held within outlet tube slot 46, that is, between upper portion 66 and lower portion 68. Outlet tube slot 46 is sized to have a width which is somewhat smaller than the diameter of large diameter portion 48 of tube 16. This function is to prevent the inadvertent or improper removal of tube 16 from pressure plate 10 by longitudinal pull, or otherwise. Outlet tube slot 46 is sized smaller than the outer diameter of ring 50.
  • tube 16 may only be installed in pressure plate 10 in one way, i.e., with ring 50 passing through T-slot 52. This will prevent the medical professional from installing tube 16 backwards.
  • the T-slot may be placed on the outlet tube slot, instead of the inlet tube slot.

  • first attachment structure is shown generally at 54.
  • first attachment structure includes a pair of hooks 56 at first end 34 for engaging mating structure on pump 12.
  • Hooks 56 are generally L shaped structures which engage pins 28, shown in Figure 5 of pump 12. Hooks 56 engaging with pins 28 allow pressure plate 10 to pivot toward and away from pump 12. This pivoting action is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • pressure plate 10 is pivoted toward pump 12 and is intimately adjacent to pump 12 to allow the pump to act on tube 16.
  • pressure plate 10 is pivoted away from pump 12. The Figure 2 position is achieved when a new tube 16 is being inserted into pressure plate 10.
  • First attachment structure 54 also includes a loop 58 at second end 36 of pressure plate 10. Loop 58 engages and is completely inserted within cavity 30 of pump 12. Pump 12 includes conventional mechanical structure (a latch) which engages the inner part of loop 58 to lock loop 58 to pump 12. In Figure 1, loop 58 is encased in cavity 30 and is locked to pump 12. Loop 58 can be slotted if desired. In such a case, tube 16 need not be positioned in any tube slot 44, and instead can be positioned along top surface 32, and possibly held in place with a clip.

  • First set screw 62 passes through a threaded hole 70 in pressure plate 10 and mates with a threaded hole in pump 12.
  • Second set screw 64 is a much shorter length than first set screw 62 because it only passes through upper portion 66 of pressure plate 10, although lower portion 68 includes a hole 72 in order to allow a tool to pass through to engage second set screw 64 and tighten second set screw 64 in its mating threaded 74 hole in pump 12.
  • pressure plate 10 is allowed to be securely attached to pump 12, but still allows for the convenient and easy insertion and removal of tube 16.
  • the entire pressure plate would have to be removed from the pump and thrown away.
  • the pressure plate is reusable and is still secure and safe to use.
  • the new system prevents the pressure plate from being misplaced during nonuse of the pump.
  • the pressure plate may be disconnected altogether from the pump, by releasing the fasteners and removing the pressure plate. This way, the pump may still be used with disposable pressure plates.
  • the second attachment structure 60 may include other arrangements.
  • the second set screw 64 may be omitted altogether, with just first set screw 62 functioning to secure pressure plate 10 to pump 12.
  • other types of fasteners may be used as alternatives to set screws.
  • the pressure plate is reusable, suitable materials for its construction are desired so as to ensure proper mounting to the pump and proper fluid delivery.
  • the material or materials selected should withstand repeated reuses with the pump a suitable number of times and also allow the pump to pump properly without free flow or without requiring excessive energy drain and/or causing a stoppage of the pumping mechanism. All metal, molded plastic with metal reinforcement, and glass-filled plastic are possible constructions for a reusable pressure plate.
  • the pressure plate attaches the pump to a reservoir having a tube as follows: First end 34 of pressure plate 10 is attached to pump 12. This is accomplished by first engaging hooks 56 with pins 28. Next, second attachment structure 60 is used in order to permanently and fixedly secure pressure plate 10 to pump 12. Specifically, in the embodiment illustrated, first and second set screws, 62, 64 are rotated and tightened into their mating threaded holes in pump 12. This secures pressure plate 10 into the position shown in Figure 2. Next, tube 16 is inserted into pressure plate 10 by finding ring 50 and aligning it with T-slot 52 into inlet tube slot 44.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à une plaque de pression à utiliser avec une pompe, qui comprend une surface supérieure configurée pour recevoir un tube et plusieurs bords latéraux définissant un canal communiquant avec cette surface supérieure. Ladite plaque de pression comprend également une paire de crochets et une boucle permettant de fixer en position amovible la plaque de pression à la pompe. Une structure de fixation est prévue pour fixer en position stable la première extrémité de la surface supérieure à la pompe. Un procédé permettant de fixer à une pompe un réservoir comportant un tube consiste à équiper une plaque de pression d'une première et d'une seconde extrémité et de lui adjoindre une fente porte-tube d'entrée et une fente porte-tube de sortie destinées à maintenir le tube en position fixe; à fixer la première extrémité de la plaque de pression à la pompe à l'aide d'un élément de boulonnerie, lequel permet à la plaque de pression de pivoter par rapport à la pompe, pour s'en rapprocher et s'en éloigner; et à insérer le tube dans la fente porte-tube d'entrée et dans la fente porte-tube de sortie; à faire pivoter la seconde extrémité de la plaque de pression en direction de la pompe; et à fixer la seconde extrémité de la plaque de pression à la pompe.
