Abstract
The invention is concerned with improvements in the technical field of pipettes. For this purpose, a pipette (1) with a base body (2) and a handle (3) is proposed, wherein a thermal insulation (5) is formed or arranged between the handle (3) and the base body (2) of the pipette (1) (see FIG. 1).
Claims20
A handle (3) for a pipette (1) having a base body (2), wherein the handle (3) has:
- i. a grip part (4) having a convex outer side (7) defining a a hand contact surface (3a) and a concave inner side (6) which faces the base body (2) of the pipette (1) with the handle (3) mounted to the base body (2), the grip part (4) being elongated to extend along a longitudinal axis between first and second axial ends, the longitudinal axis not intersecting the inner side (6), and ii. a thermal insulation (5) including a first thermally insulating structure (8) defined on the inner side (6) adjacent the first axial end and a second thermally insulating structure (8) defined on the inner side (6) adjacent the second axial end, an air layer being defined:
- i. between the first thermally insulating structure (8) and the first axial end to extend between the inner side (6) and the base body (2) of the pipette (1) with the handle (3) mounted to the base body (2), and, ii. between the second thermally insulating structure (8) and the second axial end to extend between the inner side (6) and the base body (2) of the pipette (1) with the handle mounted to the base body (3), wherein the thermal insulation (5) thermally insulates the hand contact surface (3a) from the base body (2) with the handle (3) mounted on the base body (2) of the pipette (1).
