Abstract:
A transfer device intended to be mounted in an enclosure provided with a sealed connection device, the transfer device comprising a first portion forming a conduit for the flow of elements in the enclosure, a second rigid portion forming a conduit, and connector for connection to a device for moving the transfer device inside the enclosure, the first portion having elastic deformation properties so as to be able to be elastically deformed by an operator and to allow, after deformation, the transfer device to pass through the connection device.
Abstract:
Connecting assembly for a fluidtight transfer container with a fluidtight transfer cell including a cell flange and a cell door, the assembly including a container flange and a container door mounted in the container flange, wherein the container flange includes a first longitudinal connection portion to the cell and a second longitudinal connection portion to a container, the first longitudinal connection portion and the second longitudinal connection portion being connected by a shoulder opposite the container door.
Abstract:
A control mechanism for a device for the sealed transfer between a chamber and a container, affording a very high level of safety, comprising bolts able to open the doors in complete safety, and a protective bolt (92) able to prevent an opening movement if an attempt is made to remove the container.
Abstract:
A container for ensuring the transport and the aseptic transfer of a biopharmaceutical product from or to a closed chamber provided with a leaktight joining device, includes: an annular flange delimiting an opening, a removable cover, built-in elements for locking/unlocking the removable cover and a peripheral envelope. The built-in locking/unlocking elements include a built-in functional locking/unlocking arrangement formed by a through-housing formed in the annular flange and a blind housing formed in the removable cover, and by a pin at an inner radial position and a pin at an outer radial position. The container is capable of being in an initial locking position, in an intermediate unlocking position and in a final locking position owing to the displacements of the pin at an inner radial position and the pin at an outer radial position in the blind hole of the removable cover and in the through-housing of the annular flange.
Abstract:
A leaktight joining device for ensuring the aseptic transfer of a biopharmaceutical product between a chamber equipped with a removable door and a container equipped with a removable cover, includes: stationary temporary flanging elements, stationary unlocking elements capable of changing the container from an initial locking position to an intermediate unlocking position so as to ensure an aseptic communication between the container and the chamber, stationary locking element capable of changing the container from the intermediate locking position to a final locking position, an annular functional ring gear capable of actuating the stationary unlocking elements and the stationary locking elements of the container. The stationary temporary flanging elements, the stationary unlocking elements, and the stationary locking elements are mechanically linked to the annular functional ring gear and arranged so that the unidirectional rotation of the annular functional ring gear about the geometric axis of rotation successively drives the actuation thereof.
Abstract:
A particle beam irradiation chamber in which a passage having a first opening part at a side of an inner wall and a second opening part at a side of an outer wall is provided and which has an isocenter inside the chamber, wherein a first line segment which connects the center of the first opening part and the center of the second opening part passes inside the passage, an angle, which is formed by a second segment, which connects the center of the first opening part and the isocenter and the first line segment, is smaller than 180 degrees, and a width of the passage is narrower than a width of opening of the first opening part.
Abstract:
The particle beam irradiation room of the invention includes: an irradiation execution room in which a patient table having a detachable-attachable top board and an actuation device for actuating the top board is mounted, and that is surrounded by a shielding wall; a passage formed in the shielding wall on its side where a pre-room for positioning the patient relative to the top board is located, in a form that allows the patient positioned relative to the top board to pass straight to the irradiation execution room by a transport apparatus; and a shielding door at the irradiation-room entrance located on a side of the passage toward the pre-room, for shielding against a leakage radiation at the radiation of the particle beam so that the leakage radiation is kept at a management value or less.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns a hood for handling and confinement of at least two objects of slender shape, including an external enclosure and internal enclosures inside the external enclosure and at least one motor fixed above an internal enclosure and inside a barrel, the motor(s) being adapted to rotate the screw of the screw-nut mechanism of each internal enclosure and therefore the nut over a stroke A, and first and second mechanical control means, arranged in part above the cover of the external enclosure, respectively for manually guiding the internal enclosures in translation over a stroke A0 and manually pivoting the barrel in order to bring a holding member of one of the internal enclosures opposite the opening in the bottom of the external enclosure. Application to the handling and confinement of nuclear material sample holders.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a housing (1) that is especially designed to be associated with a device for a tight connection to a second housing (2), said first housing comprising a structure including a wall (3) defining a space (1a), an opening (4) defined by a flange (5) that can be hermetically applied to a second flange (9) of the second housing (2), holding means that can keep the first flange and the second flange (9) applied to each other, a door (6) supported by carrying means (11a), the door leaf (6v) being mobile in such a way as to be closed or open and having an outer face (6a) that can ensure the hermetic application of a second door (10) of the second housing (2), fixing means for holding the leaves (6v, 1 Ov) against each other, displacement manoeuvring means (11b), and means for controlling the displacement manoeuvring means (11b), and, when the leaf (6v) is open, an inlet/outlet space (13a) in/of the inner space (1a) forming part of a communication space (13) between the two housings (1, 2), wherein the carrying means (11a) and the displacement manoeuvring means (11b) for the door (6) are arranged in such a way that, when the leaf (6v) is open, it extends essentially past the limit (13b, 13c) of the inlet/outlet space (13a), a distancing space (12) being thus created between the inlet/outlet space (13a) and the leaf (6v) in the open state.
