Description

Dispositif de substitution, d'inhalation.notamment pour les fumeurs.Substitution, inhalation device, especially for smokers.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de substitution, ou, de substitution et d'inhalation, destiné de façon générale à la prévention et/ou au traitement de certains comportements, ha¬ bitudes, ou, pulsions orales, pathologiques ou non, rencon¬ trés chez certaines personnes,notamment chez les fumeurs.The invention relates to a substitution device, or, substitution and inhalation device, intended generally for the prevention and / or treatment of certain behaviors, habits, or, oral impulses, pathological or not, encountered in some people, especially smokers.
On sait que le besoin de téter, puis, sucer, manipuler un objet, et de le porter à la bouche est un besoin inné, ins¬ tinctif, que l'on rencontre chez le bébé puis, chez l'enfant, et, qui reste encore très fréquent chez l'adulte.We know that the need to suck, then suck, manipulate an object, and bring it to the mouth is an innate, instinctive need, that we meet in the baby then, in the child, and, which is still very common in adults.
Ce besoin s'exprime, en grandissant,de différentes manières, en particulier par le fait de grignoter, sucer, manger, mor¬ diller des produits comestibles ou non, et, aussi, de boire.This need is expressed, as it grows, in different ways, in particular by the fact of snacking, sucking, eating, mor¬ diller of edible products or not, and, also, of drinking.
Il s'exprime aussi par différents comportements, notamment d'ordre gestuel, chez certaines personnes qui manipulent, in¬ consciemment ou non,des objets pour se donner une contenance.It is also expressed by different behaviors, especially gestural, in some people who manipulate, unconsciously or not, objects to give themselves a capacity.
De tels comportements ou habitudes sont caractéristiques des fumeurs qui, outre l'intoxication à la nicotine, éprouvent le besoin de tenir un objet, c'est-à-dire une cigarette, un ci¬ gare ou une pipe, et de le porter aussi à la bouche.Such behaviors or habits are characteristic of smokers who, in addition to nicotine intoxication, feel the need to hold an object, that is to say a cigarette, a cigarette or a pipe, and to also carry it To the mouth.
Les dangers liés à la consommation du tabac sont bien connus. Une consommation abusive de tabac peut porter gravement at- teinte à la santé du fumeur.The dangers of tobacco use are well known. Heavy tobacco use can seriously affect the smoker's health.
Différents moyens sont déjà à la disposition des personnes fumeurs ou non-fumeurs.Different means are already available to smokers and non-smokers.
On connaît, ainsi, différents moyens destinés aux fumeurs qui souhaitent arrêter de fumer. On peut citer en particulier des médicaments, des gommes à mâcher, des timbres à la nicotine, des produits homéopathiques, des produits issus de la phyto- aromathérapie en particulier sous forme de gélules,ou encore de produits odorants à respirer. On connaît, aussi, des dispositifs d'inhalation ou d'adminis¬ tration orale comprenant un corps tubulaire ayant l'aspect d'une cigarette ou d'un cigare, avec un embout buccal ayant la forme d'un embout de pipe ou de cigarette. De tels dispos- tifs que l'on peut manipuler et porter à la bouche, permet¬ tent l'inhalation de substances odorantes agréables, en par¬ ticulier d'essences de plantes, d'huiles essentielles ou de la menthe.Various means are therefore known for smokers who wish to quit smoking. Mention may in particular be made of drugs, chewing gums, nicotine patches, homeopathic products, products derived from phyto-aromatherapy in particular in the form of capsules, or even odorous products to breathe. Also known are inhalation or oral administration devices comprising a tubular body having the appearance of a cigarette or a cigar, with a mouthpiece having the shape of a pipe or cigarette. Such devices which can be handled and brought to the mouth, allow the inhalation of pleasant odorous substances, in particular plant essences, essential oils or mint.
Des dispositifs de ce type sont décrits notamment dans les publications FR-A-2 625 905, FR-A-2 654 002 et EP-A-0 364 805Devices of this type are described in particular in the publications FR-A-2 625 905, FR-A-2 654 002 and EP-A-0 364 805
On connaît aussi, d'après WO/9524135, un dispositif pour l'administration orale de nicotine.Also known from WO / 9524135 is a device for the oral administration of nicotine.
Ces dispositifs s'avèrent généralement peu efficaces, peu to¬ lérés à l'utilisation, lorsqu'ils sont portés à la bouche, par leur embout, le plus souvent, en forme de cigarette, de fume-cigarette, ou de pipe, et, généralement, en matière plastique, ce qui favorise d'autres troubles psychologiques ou physiologiques liés aux stress, angoisses, envies.These devices generally prove to be ineffective, not very user-friendly when they are worn in the mouth, by their end-piece, most often in the form of a cigarette, a cigarette holder, or a pipe, and , generally, plastic, which promotes other psychological or physiological disorders related to stress, anxiety, desires.
Et, à la différence du dispositif de l'invention, ils ont pour objet ou par nécessité l'utilisation d'une substance à inhaler, ou, à administrer oralement.And, unlike the device of the invention, their object or by necessity is the use of a substance to be inhaled, or, to be administered orally.
Dans un tout autre domaine, on connaît, la tétine, ou, téte- relle destinée aux nouveaux nés, aux petits enfants, compor¬ tant une partie à mettre à la bouche qui se termine par une colerette plus large, pour empêcher que l' enfant avale la tétine,et, en général avec un anneau, pour la prendre. Il est intéressant de la retrouver décrite d'après EP-A-0 406 505.In a completely different field, we know the nipple, or, nipple intended for newborns, small children, comprising a part to put in the mouth which ends in a wider collar, to prevent the child swallows the pacifier, and, usually with a ring, to take it. It is interesting to find it described according to EP-A-0 406 505.
Celle-ci, préconisée par les pédiatres, qui est à l'origine du dispositif de l'invention, a essentiellement pour but d'apaiser.This, recommended by pediatricians, which is at the origin of the device of the invention, essentially aims to soothe.
On connaît aussi des tétines à base élargie destinées à des biberons ou autres récipients permettant l'administration de nourriture et de médicaments par voie buccale. De telles tétines sont utilisées en particulier pour les nourrissons, les personnes malades, âgées ou paralysées. Un dispositif de ce genre est décrit dans EP-A-0 300 783 .There are also known teats with an enlarged base intended for bottles or other containers allowing the administration of food and drugs by the oral route. Such teats are used especially for infants, the sick, elderly or paralyzed. A device of this kind is described in EP-A-0 300 783.
Elles sont prévues pour des applications bien spécifiques et servent avant tout aux nouveaux nés et aux jeunes enfants.They are intended for very specific applications and are used primarily for newborns and young children.
Le dispositif de l'invention a notamment pour but de surmon¬ ter les besoins ou pulsions orales précitées.The device of the invention aims in particular to overcome the above-mentioned oral needs or impulses.
Elle propose, à cet effet, un dispositif de substitution, ou, de substitution et d'inhalation, afin de prévenir et/ou gué¬ rir notamment le besoin de fumer, lequel comprend un embout tel une tétine, propre à être portée à la bouche, réalisé en matière caoutchouteuse, élastomérique, comme le silicone pur, et ayant une extrémité en forme de calotte sphérique et une extrémité cylindrique opposée, prolongée par un corps tubu- laire ayant l'aspect d'un article de fumeur, en particulier d'une cigarette.It proposes, for this purpose, a substitution device, or, substitution and inhalation, in order to prevent and / or cure in particular the need to smoke, which comprises a tip such as a pacifier, suitable for being brought to the mouth, made of rubbery, elastomeric material, such as pure silicone, and having a spherical cap-shaped end and an opposite cylindrical end, extended by a tubular body having the appearance of a smoker's article, in particular d 'a cigarette.
Le dispositif de l'invention s'apparente à une cigarette de substitution convenant à des personnes, notamment, des fu¬ meurs souffrant de pulsions orales susceptibles de nuire à leur santé.The device of the invention is similar to a replacement cigarette suitable for people, in particular, smokers suffering from oral impulses likely to harm their health.
L'embout du dispositif de l'invention tel une tétine permet de satisfaire, d'une manière apaisante, le besoin inné de succion. Cet embout et, de par sa matière, et, de par son extrémité en forme de calotte sphérique, se distingue, des embouts utilisés dans les dispositifs cités ou connus.The tip of the device of the invention such as a pacifier can satisfy, in a soothing manner, the innate need for suction. This tip and, by its material, and, by its end in the form of a spherical cap, is distinguished from the tips used in the cited or known devices.
Le corps tubulaire qui prolonge l'embout a l'aspect d'un ar¬ ticle à fumer, en particulier d'une cigarette. Il permet de satisfaire les habitudes, les besoins de manipulation, de gestuelle du fumeur, mais, aussi, la visualisation que les autres ont du fumeur.The tubular body which extends the nozzle has the appearance of a smoking article, in particular a cigarette. It makes it possible to satisfy the habits, the handling and gestural needs of the smoker, but also the visualization that others have of the smoker.
Ce dispositif de substitution, objet de la présente invention qui autorise, ainsi, tout en apaisant, et, le besoin de sucer de mordiller, et, le besoin de gestuelle, est, en lui-même, suffisant pour prévenir et/ou guérir, notamment, le besoin de fumer.This substitution device, object of the present invention which thus authorizes, while soothing, and, the need to suck to nibble, and, the need for gestures, is, in itself, sufficient to prevent and / or cure, in particular, the need to smoke.
Ce qui différencie le dispositif de l'invention des disposi- tifs pour l'administration ou l'inhalation.This differentiates the device of the invention from the devices for administration or inhalation.
On préfère dans la présente invention que l'embout et le corps tubulaire soient réalisés sous la forme de deux pièces distinctes qui sont alors reliées, entre elles, par des moyens de liaison.It is preferred in the present invention that the end piece and the tubular body be made in the form of two separate parts which are then connected to each other by connecting means.
Ceci permet d'utiliser deux matières différentes, respecti¬ vement, pour l'embout, et, pour le corps tubulaire.This allows two different materials to be used, respecti¬ vely, for the end piece, and for the tubular body.
Les moyens de liaison, du type à emboîtement, peuvent être complétés par l'utilisation d'une bague de liaison ou de fixation. Cette bague, qui n'est pas obligatoire, permet de lier ou de renforcer la liaison de l'embout et du corps tubu¬ laire.The connection means, of the interlocking type, can be supplemented by the use of a connection or fixing ring. This ring, which is not compulsory, makes it possible to link or strengthen the connection of the endpiece and the tubu¬ lar body.
Cependant, comme l'embout est formé en une matière caoutchou¬ teuse, élastomérique, telle que le silicone pur, le corps tubulaire peut être alors formé de la même matière. L'embout et le corps tubulaire forment alors une seule pièce; pouvant ainsi, autoriser, aussi, un autre toucher, agréable.However, as the end piece is formed from a rubbery, elastomeric material, such as pure silicone, the tubular body can then be formed from the same material. The end piece and the tubular body then form a single piece; being able thus, to authorize, also, another touch, pleasant.
Etant donné l'objet du dispositif de l'invention, son essen¬ ce, sa matière, la forme de l'embout ayant une extrémité en forme de calotte sphérique, a son importance. Bien que l'on on préfère, décrire, un embout ayant une forme de poire, plus connue pour les tétines pour amusettes, il est intéressant de représenter, aussi, un autre modèle privilégié, ici, dessiné.Given the object of the device of the invention, its essence, its material, the shape of the end piece having an end in the shape of a spherical cap, is important. Although we prefer, describe, a tip having a pear shape, better known for nipples for amusements, it is interesting to represent, also, another privileged model, here, drawn.
L'embout et le corps tubulaire peuvent être complètement fermés avec un trou d'aspiration et/ ou de ventilation à l'une et/ou l'autre des extrémités.The end piece and the tubular body can be completely closed with a suction and / or ventilation hole at one and / or the other of the ends.
Toutefois,dans une forme de réalisation préférée de l'inven¬ tion, le corps tubulaire comporte une extrémité ouverte munie d'un bouchon fixe ou amovible. Ce dernier comporte avantageu- sèment un trou de ventilation propre à être obturé par un bouchon amovible.However, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tubular body has an open end provided with a fixed or removable plug. The latter includes sow a clean ventilation hole to be closed by a removable plug.
En complément de ce trou de ventilation, le dispositif com- prend, avantageusement, au moins un trou d'inhalation ou d'aspiration prévu dans l'embout et/ou latéralement dans le corps tubulaire à proximité de l'embout.In addition to this ventilation hole, the device advantageously includes at least one inhalation or aspiration hole provided in the end piece and / or laterally in the tubular body near the end piece.
Le trou prévu dans l'embout est destiné principalement à as- pirer, soit de l'air seul prélevé grâce au trou de ventila¬ tion précité, soit de l'air chargé d'une substance à aspirer ou inhaler.The hole provided in the nozzle is mainly intended to suck up, either air taken alone through the aforementioned ventilation hole, or air charged with a substance to be aspirated or inhaled.
Le trou prévu latéralement dans le corps tubulaire est desti- né à être placé proche du nez de l'utilisateur, de manière que celui-ci puisse inhaler de l'air chargé d'une substance à inhaler contenue dans le corps tubulaire. Le trou prévu laté¬ ralement dans le corps tubulaire est avantageusement muni d'un bouchon amovible.The hole provided laterally in the tubular body is intended to be placed close to the nose of the user, so that the latter can inhale air charged with a substance to be inhaled contained in the tubular body. The hole provided laté¬ ralement in the tubular body is advantageously provided with a removable plug.
Le corps tubulaire, comporte avantageusement un logement pro¬ pre à recevoir une cartouche, renfermant une substance à in¬ haler.The tubular body advantageously comprises a housing pro¬ to receive a cartridge, containing a substance to be inhaled.
L'embout est comme, déjà, indiqué, réalisé avantageusement en une matière souple, en particulier caoutchouteuse ou élasto¬ mérique, telle que le silicone pur.The tip is as already indicated, advantageously made of a flexible material, in particular rubbery or elastomeric, such as pure silicone.
Le corps tubulaire est avantageusement réalisé en une matière plastique, ce qui permet de laver complètement le dispositif. Lorsque l'embout et le corps tubulaire sont de deux pièces distinctes,la matière plastique utilisée pour le corps tubu¬ laire est de préférence une matière rigide ou semi-rigide, telle que le polyéthylène, le polypropylène ou le PVC.The tubular body is advantageously made of a plastic material, which makes it possible to wash the device completely. When the end piece and the tubular body are two separate parts, the plastic material used for the tubular body is preferably a rigid or semi-rigid material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC.
Dans le cas où l'embout et le corps tubulaire forment une seule pièce, ceux-ci sont comme, déjà, indiqué, en la même matière que l'embout.In the case where the end piece and the tubular body form a single piece, these are, as already indicated, made of the same material as the end piece.

- les figures 5 à 8 sont des vues en coupe montrant un em¬ bout et un corps tubulaire munis de différents moyens de liaison.- Figures 5 to 8 are sectional views showing an end and a tubular body provided with different connecting means.
Le dispositif représenté aux figures 1 et 2 comprend un em¬ bout 1 et un corps tubulaire 2 assemblés entre eux. L'embout 1 est une pièce creuse peu épaisse, dans l'exemple sensible¬ ment en forme de poire, réalisée à partir d une matière du type caoutchouc ou élastomère, par exemple de silicone pur.The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a tip 1 and a tubular body 2 assembled together. The end piece 1 is a hollow piece which is not very thick, in the example substantially in the form of a pear, produced from a material of the rubber or elastomer type, for example from pure silicone.
Cet embout 1 comporte une extrémité 3 en forme de calotte sphérique dans laquelle est prévu un trou d'aspiration ou d'inhalation 4 qui peut, par exemple, être un trou circulaire dont le diamètre est compris entre 1 et 2 mm. L'extrémité 3 en forme de calotte sphérique se raccorde, par une partie intermédiaire 5, à une extrémité cylindrique 6 formant un manchon tubulaire. Cette extrémité cylindrique 6 comporte une ouverture 7 entourée d'un bord extérieur lisse 8 servant d'extrémité de liaison pour l'assemblage de l'embout 1 avec le corps tubulaire 2.This nozzle 1 has one end 3 in the form of a spherical cap in which is provided a suction or inhalation hole 4 which can, for example, be a circular hole whose diameter is between 1 and 2 mm. The end 3 in the form of a spherical cap is connected, by an intermediate part 5, to a cylindrical end 6 forming a tubular sleeve. This cylindrical end 6 has an opening 7 surrounded by a smooth outer edge 8 serving as a connection end for assembling the end piece 1 with the tubular body 2.
L'embout 1 peut, à titre d'exemple, avoir une longueur totale de 35 mm, un diamètre de 10 mm au niveau de l'extrémité cy¬ lindrique 6 et un diamètre de 15 mm au niveau de la partie en forme de poire. Le corps tubulaire 2 est une pièce creuse réalisée en matière plastique rigide ou semi-rigide, par exemple en polyéthylène, polypropylène ou en PVC. Ce corps tubulaire peut avoir une longueur complémentaire à l'embout, et, un diamètre analogue à ceux d'une cigarette ou d'un cigare, par exemple une lon¬ gueur de 50 mm et un diamètre de 10 mm.The end piece 1 may, for example, have a total length of 35 mm, a diameter of 10 mm at the level of the cylindrical end 6 and a diameter of 15 mm at the level of the pear-shaped part. . The tubular body 2 is a hollow part made of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material, for example polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC. This tubular body may have a length complementary to the end piece, and a diameter similar to that of a cigarette or a cigar, for example a length of 50 mm and a diameter of 10 mm.
Le corps tubulaire 2 comporte un embout lisse, ouvert d'ex¬ trémité 9 de diamètre réduit propre à recevoir l'extrémité cylindrique 6 de l'embout 1, lisse intérieurement. Toutefois, le diamètre extérieur de l'embout 9 peut être légèrement su¬ périeur au diamètre intérieur de l'extrémité cylindrique 6 afin de permettre un emboîtement en force. Le bord 8 de l'ex¬ trémité cylindrique 6 et l'embout 9 constituent, deux extré- mités de liaison, de formes conjuguées.The tubular body 2 comprises a smooth end piece, open from the end 9 of reduced diameter suitable for receiving the cylindrical end 6 of the end piece 1, which is smooth internally. However, the outside diameter of the end piece 9 may be slightly greater than the inside diameter of the cylindrical end 6 in order to allow a force fit. The edge 8 of the cylindrical ex¬ end 6 and the end-piece 9 constitute, two connection ends, of conjugate shapes.
Lorsque l'embout 1 et le corps tubulaire 2 sont reliés ensem¬ bles, une bague 10 peut être mise en place pour contribuer à la liaison ou au maintien des deux éléments entre eux (fig.2)When the end piece 1 and the tubular body 2 are connected together, a ring 10 can be put in place to contribute to the connection or to the maintenance of the two elements between them (fig.2)
Cette bague 10, dont l'utilisation est facultative, sert à relier ou sertir entre eux l'embout 1 et le corps tubulaire 2. Elle est avantageusement réalisée en aluminium ou autre matière métallique, ou, plastique, lavable.This ring 10, the use of which is optional, serves to connect or crimp between them the end piece 1 and the tubular body 2. It is advantageously made of aluminum or other metallic material, or, plastic, washable.
Le corps tubulaire 2 (figure 4) comporte un épaulement inter¬ ne 11 défini dans la région de l'embout 9. Par ailleurs, le corps tubulaire 2 comporte, à l'opposée de l'embout 9, une extrémité ouverte 12 propre à recevoir un bouchon fixe ou amovible 13. Le bouchon 13 est muni d'un trou de ventilation 14, lequel peut lui-même être obturé par un bouchon amovible 15 (figures 1 et 2).The tubular body 2 (FIG. 4) has an inter¬ shoulder 11 defined in the region of the end piece 9. Furthermore, the tubular body 2 comprises, opposite the end piece 9, an open end 12 suitable for receive a fixed or removable plug 13. The plug 13 is provided with a ventilation hole 14, which can itself be closed by a removable plug 15 (Figures 1 and 2).
Dans le cas, où l'embout et le corps tubulaire forment une seule pièce, l'épaulement interne 11 sera formé par un bour¬ relet annulaire intérieur, ou, un léger étranglement.In the case where the end piece and the tubular body form a single piece, the internal shoulder 11 will be formed by an inner annular bour¬ relet, or, a slight constriction.
Le corps tubulaire 2 comporte en outre un trou d'aspiration ou d'inhalation 16 formé latéralement et à proximité de l'em- bout 9. Ainsi, le corps tubulaire 2 définit un logement interne 17 de forme générale cylindrique propre à recevoir une cartouche, capsule, ou substance 18 (figures 2 et 4.)The tubular body 2 also comprises a suction or inhalation hole 16 formed laterally and close to the end piece 9. Thus, the tubular body 2 defines an internal housing 17 of generally cylindrical shape suitable for receiving a cartridge, capsule, or substance 18 (Figures 2 and 4.)
La cartouche, capsule, substance 18, affecte une forme géné¬ rale cylindrique adaptée à celle du logement 17. Elle est retenue en position axiale d'un côté par l'épaulement 11 et de l'autre par le bouchon 13. La cartouche 18 est avantageu¬ sement formée de fibres de cellulose, de fibres tissées ou non tissées, en résine synthétique, de mousse, ou, analogue, ou, de poudre. Cette cartouche est imprégnée d'une substance agréable à aspirer, à inhaler, en particulier d'arômes divers ou d'huiles essentielles, ou, encore, de substance ou solu¬ tion curative appropriée.The cartridge, capsule, substance 18, has a cylindrical general shape adapted to that of the housing 17. It is retained in axial position on one side by the shoulder 11 and on the other by the plug 13. The cartridge 18 is advantageously formed from cellulose fibers, woven or non-woven fibers, synthetic resin, foam, or the like, or powder. This cartridge is impregnated with a substance which is pleasant to aspirate, to inhale, in particular various aromas or essential oils, or, alternatively, an appropriate curative substance or solution.
Le trou latéral 16 peut être obturé par un bouchon amovible 19 (figures 1 et 2) qui est avantageusement muni d'une ex¬ trémité pointue propre à percer la cartouche 18 avant utili¬ sation (figures 2 et 4).The lateral hole 16 can be closed by a removable plug 19 (Figures 1 and 2) which is advantageously provided with a pointed end adapted to pierce the cartridge 18 before use (Figures 2 and 4).
Le dispositif des figures 1 et 2 peut être utilisé sans car¬ touche, en obturant ou non chacun des trous 14 et 16.The device of FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used without a key, by closing or not closing each of the holes 14 and 16.
Lorsque le trou 16 n'est pas fermé par le bouchon 19, ce trou doit être placé au niveau du nez de l'utilisateur pour lui permettre d'inhaler la substance contenue dans la cartouche 18.When the hole 16 is not closed by the plug 19, this hole must be placed at the level of the user's nose to allow him to inhale the substance contained in the cartridge 18.
Ainsi, lorsqu'une cartouche est utilisée, l'utilisateur place l'embout 1 dans sa bouche et oriente le trou 16 dans la di¬ rection de son nez.Thus, when a cartridge is used, the user places the nozzle 1 in his mouth and directs the hole 16 in the direction of his nose.
Selon, l'utilisateur peut, ainsi, aspirer et inhaler la subs¬ tance odorante par la bouche ou par le nez, ou par la bouche et par le nez.According to the user can thus inhale and inhale the odorous substance through the mouth or through the nose, or through the mouth and through the nose.
Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 5, l'extrémité cylindrique 6 de l'embout 1 comporte un bourrelet annulaire intérieur 20 entourant l'ouverture 7, propre à coopérer avec une gorge périphérique 21 de l'embout 9. En pareil cas, il n'est pas, non plus, nécessaire de prévoir de bague comme dans la forme de réalisation précédente.In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the cylindrical end 6 of the end piece 1 comprises an internal annular bead 20 surrounding the opening 7, suitable for cooperating with a peripheral groove 21 of the end piece 9. In such a case, he nor is it necessary to provide a ring as in the previous embodiment.
Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 6, l'extrémité cylindrique 6 de l'embout 1 comporte des saillies annulaires 22 propres à coopérer avec des saillies annulaires 23 de 1'embout 9.In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the cylindrical end 6 of the end piece 1 has annular projections 22 adapted to cooperate with annular projections 23 of the end piece 9.
Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 7, à laquelle on se réfère maintenant, l'extrémité cylindrique 6 de l'embout 1 est lisse intérieurement. Par contre, l'embout 9 du corps tubulaire 2 comporte une pluralité de nervures axiales 24 formant une multiplicité de saillies radiales. Ces nervures 24 contribuent au maintien de l'extrémité cylindrique 6 de l'embout autour de l'embout 9 du corps tubulaire.In the embodiment of Figure 7, to which reference is now made, the cylindrical end 6 of the end piece 1 is internally smooth. On the other hand, the end piece 9 of the tubular body 2 includes a plurality of axial ribs 24 forming a multiplicity of radial projections. These ribs 24 contribute to maintaining the cylindrical end 6 of the end piece around the end piece 9 of the tubular body.
Dans la forme de la réalisation 8, l'embout 1 comporte une rainure annulaire 25 à la place du bord lisse 8 représenté à la figure 3. En outre, le corps tubulaire 2 comporte une rainure annulaire 26 formée à la jonction de l' embout 9 et du corps tubulaire proprement dit. Lorsque l'embout 1 est adaptée sur le corps tubulaire, les deux rainures 25 et 26 délimitent ensemble une rainure. Cette forme nécessite, con¬ trairement aux autres réalisations, une bague 10 comme repré- sentée à la figure 1.In the embodiment 8, the end piece 1 has an annular groove 25 in place of the smooth edge 8 shown in Figure 3. In addition, the tubular body 2 has an annular groove 26 formed at the junction of the end piece 9 and the tubular body itself. When the end piece 1 is fitted to the tubular body, the two grooves 25 and 26 together define a groove. This form requires, unlike other embodiments, a ring 10 as shown in FIG. 1.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites précédemment à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above by way of example.
Comme déjà indiqué, l'embout 1 tel une tétine peut avoir une forme différente du moment qu'il présente une extrémité, sen¬ siblement, en forme de calotte sphérique: par exemple, tel 1' embout représenté par la FIG.l a.As already indicated, the end piece 1 such as a teat may have a different shape as long as it has one end, appreciably, in the form of a spherical cap: for example, such as the end piece represented by FIG.l a.
Par ailleurs, dans le cas où l'embout 1 et le corps tubulaire 2 sont deux pièces différentes, d'autres moyens de liaison ou de fixation peuvent être envisagés: par exemple par moulage, surmoulage, avec, ou, sans, bague de liaison.Furthermore, in the case where the end piece 1 and the tubular body 2 are two different parts, other connection or fixing means can be envisaged: for example by molding, overmolding, with, or, without, connection ring .
De même, l'embout 1 peut être protégé, pour des raisons d'hy- giène, après utilisation, d'une manière connue de soi, par un capuchon amovible.Similarly, the tip 1 can be protected, for reasons of hy- giene, after use, in a manner known per se, by a removable cap.
Le dispositif de l'invention sert ainsi de moyen préventif et/ou curatif pour des personnes souffrant de différents ty¬ pes de pulsions orales, pathologiques ou non, susceptibles de nuire à leur santé. Le dispositif de l'invention vise essen¬ tiellement mais non 1imitâtivement les fumeurs.The device of the invention thus serves as a preventive and / or curative means for people suffering from different types of oral impulses, pathological or not, likely to harm their health. The device of the invention is essentially but not limited to smokers.
Ce dispositif satisfait d'une manière apaisante et, le besoin inné de succion grâce à la matière et à la forme de l'embout et, le besoin de gestuelle, grâce à son corps tubulaire.This device satisfies in a soothing way and, the innate need for suction thanks to the material and the shape of the nozzle and, the need for gestures, thanks to its tubular body.
On préfère que le dispositif soit réalisé sous la forme de deux pièces différentes, toutefois,dans sa forme de réalisa¬ tion la plus simple, il peut être formé d'une seule pièce dans la matière de l'embout.It is preferred that the device is made in the form of two different parts, however, in its simplest form of realization, it can be formed in one piece in the material of the nozzle.
L'utilisation d'une cartouche, d'une capsule, d'une subs- tance, n'est pas nécessaire mais, constitue, néanmoins, un élément intéressant pour compléter le traitement par adminis¬ tration orale ou inhalation nasale, de produit agréable, ou, pharmaceutique, approprié, et, favoriser, ainsi, la guérison, sans exclusion d'utilisation et, d'utilisateur. The use of a cartridge, a capsule, a substance, is not necessary but, nevertheless constitutes an interesting element to complete the treatment by oral administration or nasal inhalation, of pleasant product. , or, pharmaceutical, appropriate, and, thus, promoting healing, without exclusion of use and, of user.
