Disclosure of the invention

Object of the invention

The problem with the technology of Patent Document 1 is that it can not be applied when a cheap barcode label or a user-written seal is used. In addition, a sealing member may be attached to a container when it originally has no lid, while the sealing member can not be applied to the container with a lid attached thereto.

In the prior art, where a sticker or seal is adhered to a container, it must be adhered to a lateral side of the container, thereby causing a problem in approving the contents of the label or reading the adhesive with a bar code reader each time the reader is read out, it has to tilt at an angle in the direction of the lateral side of the container.

Furthermore, a tube (vial), the z. For example, a blood sampled or the like is taken up, and a centrifuge tube used for centrifuging the blood is different from each other, whereby it is difficult to remove the sticker adhered to the vial and then to stick it to the centrifuge tube again. Therefore, the sticker is glued to the vial by means of a rubber band or the like, but there is a risk of the label having fallen off and thus being lost.

To solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a management tag which can be securely and easily attached to a container and at the same time easily removed therefrom, so that the determination of the management information can be easily performed can, and which can also be applied to a container with a lid attached thereto, as well as to provide a container with such a management label attached thereto.

Solution to the problem of the invention

To achieve the object, a management label according to the invention represents that which is attached to a tubular container, wherein the management label is characterized in that it forms approximately a flat sheet shape and an upper opening through which the container is inserted, and an information adding portion that extends in a direction as viewed from the top opening and is provided with a certain flat area, wherein a seal having management information can be adhered to the flat area, or the management information can be printed thereon.

This management label may provide for the management tag to be securely and easily attached to the container as the container is inserted through the top opening, while also allowing the management tag to be easily removed. Since the management label does not interfere with a lid of the container, it can also be applied to the container with a lid attached thereto.

Moreover, since the management information is formed on an upper side of the information adding section so that the management information can be detected from above, the determination of the management information can be easily performed. Further, since a seal can also be adhered to a flat surface of the information adding portion, the seal can be made lighter even in a case where it is adhered to a bent lateral side of the container, for example even in the state where the user is wearing gloves carries, to be glued on. Also, since such information can be printed on the flat surface of the information adding portion, the pressure can be more easily and accurately performed than a case where the information is printed on a bent lateral side of the container.

It is further contemplated that the inventive management tag between the top opening and the information adding portion still has a notch or fold line, wherein the management label is folded by the notch or fold line, or wherein the container has a lid, which via a Verbindugnsabschnitt is connected to the container, then, the Verbindugnsabschnitt can be connected to the notch.

With this management label, it can be provided that the space is saved by the folding, so that a plurality of containers, to each of which a management label is attached, are arranged adjacent to each other. With this management label, it can also be provided that the lid does not stand in the way when entering or leaving a sample solution in or out of the container, so that the ability to work is improved.

In the management label according to the invention it can be provided that in the upper opening a plurality of locking pieces are formed spaced apart in the circumferential direction from each other so that they protrude inward in a diametrical direction, so that the container can not be weighted.

With this management label, it is provided that the locking pieces are connected to a lateral side of the container, so that the deviation of the container is prevented.

In the management label according to the invention, it may be provided that the seal is a barcode label.

In another aspect, a container having a management tag attached thereto may be configured to attach the management tag to a tubular container.

Effect of the invention

According to the present invention, there may be provided a management tag which can be securely and easily attached to a container and at the same time easily removed therefrom, so that the determination of the management information can be easily performed, and also on a container with a lid attached thereto can be applied.

Preferred embodiments of the invention

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 shows a structure of a management label ( 10 ) according to an embodiment of the present invention in a plan view, and 2 shows a container with a management label attached thereto ( 200 ) in the condition in which the management label ( 10 ) on the container ( 100 ) is mounted, in a perspective view.

As in 1 and 2 shown, the management label ( 10 ) about a flat sheet shape, which consists of a plastic plate, such as those made of polypropylene, etc., and has a circular upper opening ( 10h) ; an information adding section ( 10s) coming from the upper opening ( 10h) Seen in one direction (ie in the left direction in 1 ) and provided with an approximately rectangular planar area; one between the upper opening ( 10h) and the information adding section ( 10s) trained score ( 10n) ; and several locking pieces (four locking pieces in 1 ) coming from the upper opening ( 10h) project inwardly in a diametrical direction and are spaced apart in the periphery; on.

The diameter of the upper opening ( 10h) smaller than the outer diameter of the container ( 100 ) (eg the vial with a lid attached to it), so that this container ( 100 ) is introduced through the upper opening. When the container ( 100 ) from below through the upper opening ( 10h) is introduced, those from the upper opening ( 10h) projecting locking pieces ( 10p) with a lateral side of the container ( 100 ), so that the locking pieces ( 10p) bent upwards and then with the container ( 100 ) connected. This will prevent a deviation of the container.

On the other side, the container ( 100 ) a tubular plastic mold, has a lid ( 100L) which, after filling a sample solution (blood, etc.) through the upper opening ( 10h) this upper opening ( 10h) immediately closes. The lid ( 100L) by means of a connecting section ( 100a) integral with an edge around the upper opening ( 10h) connected around.

Furthermore, the management label ( 10 ) to the container ( 100 ), so that a container with a management tag ( 200 ) is formed.

Furthermore, on an upper side (this upper side represents the surface which the upper opening ( 10h) of the container ( 100 )) of the information adding section (FIG. 10s) an approximately rectangular barcode label ( 51 ) whose dimension is slightly smaller than an outer shape of the information adding portion (FIG. 10s) is. In this barcode label ( 51 ) is the administrative information (ie personal information of a person, to which one in the container ( 100 ) received sample solution belongs, certain things, identification information of the container or the like) as a two-dimensional barcode included.

Further at the information adding section ( 10s) can a seal containing the management information of the barcode label ( 51 ), etc., glued or the management information is printed directly.

In this way, the management label ( 10 ) then to the container ( 100 ) are securely and easily attached when the container ( 100 ) through the upper opening ( 10h) the management label can also be easily removed at the same time. As the management label ( 10 ) not in the lid ( 100L) of the container ( 100 ), it can also be applied to the container with a lid attached thereto.

In addition, since the management information is located at a top of the information adding section (FIG. 10s) are formed so that the management information can be ascertained from above, the determination of the management information can be easily performed. Especially in the case where a conventional container ( 100 ) is placed in a slingshot, one can not laterally determine the management information, which is why the present invention is even more effective.

Since the administrative information is given in an upward direction, it is possible to work on the identification of the individual containers ( 100 ) (and the attached management label ( 10 )), to which container ( 100 ) the determination has ended or from which container ( 100 ) it should be continued, so that forgetting the order of detection or the like can be prevented.

Since a seal also on a flat surface of the information adding section ( 10s) can be glued to a case in which it is on a curved, lateral side of the container ( 100 ) is glued, the seal also easier, z. B. in the state in which the user wears gloves to be glued. Since corresponding information on the flat surface of the information adding section (FIG. 10s) can also be printed more easily and accurately compared to a case in which the information is printed on a curved, lateral side of the container.

If the management information is a barcode label ( 51 ), then the determination of the management information can be performed by means of a bar code reader. However, the other information, such as stickers, proper name of a document, serial number of a container or the like, can be visually determined.

In addition, it may be advantageous that the information adding section (FIG. 10s) as small as possible, insofar as the management information can be adhered to it or printed.

As in 3 shown, the barcode sticker ( 52 ), which is about the same as an entire outer shape of the management label ( 10 ) and its opening corresponding to the upper opening ( 10h) is designed to be adhered to the management label. The barcode sticker ( 52 ) on an entire top of the management label ( 10 ) including the information adding section ( 10s) glued, with a two-dimensional barcode ( 52b) that represents the management information at a top of the information adding section (FIG. 10s) located.

As in 4 shown, it is possible to use a management label ( 10 ) by a notch ( 10n) to fold. As a result, an information adding section (FIG. 10s) coming from the container ( 100 ), up or down (down in 4 ) are folded so that the space is saved, which is why several containers ( 100 ), each containing a management label ( 10 ) is mounted, adjacent to each other can be arranged adjacent.

As in 5 it is possible to get a score ( 10n) with a connecting section ( 100a) a container ( 100 ) (or to attach the connecting section to the notch). This is a lid ( 100L) upon entering or exiting a sample solution into or out of the container ( 100 ) does not get in the way, so that the work ability is improved.

As in 6 It may further be provided that a folding line (dotted line, etc.) (10 m) instead of a notch (FIG. 10n) is formed in the management label.

Finally, it should be understood that the present invention should not be limited to the above embodiments, and of course many variations and equivalents which are within the spirit and scope of the invention should be included. For example, The shape of the management label should not be limited to a specific one.
