Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Versandpackung, insbesondere für mit einer Flüssigkeit, z.B. Blut, befüllten Analysengefäßen oder dergleichen, umfassend einen kartonförmigen Behälter, der mit einem Deckel verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a shipping package, in particular for with a liquid, e.g. Blood, filled analysis vessels or the like, comprising a cardboard-shaped Container that can be closed with a lid.

Beim Versand von insbesondere befüllten Analysengefäßen, in der Regel ausgeführt als zentrifugierbare, zylindrische Probenröhrchen, erfordert die Verpackung eine besondere Sorgfalt. Denn während des Transports von beispielsweise einer Blutprobe zu einem Analysenlabor dürfen keine Beschädigungen auftreten. Zum Transport von in einem Pappkarton oder dergleichen Behälter eingelegten Analysengefäßen ist es daher bekannt, deren Lage durch in den Karton gestopftes Füllmaterial, z, B. Granulat, zu sichern. Dies reicht aber häufig zur dauerhaften, exakten Positionierung nicht aus, zumal in Anbetracht der bei einem Transport häufig unvermeidlichen äußeren Stoßeinwirkungen.Usually carried out when shipping filled test tubes in particular As a centrifugable, cylindrical sample tube, packaging is required a special care. Because during the transport of, for example, one Blood sample to an analytical laboratory must not be damaged. To the Transport of analysis vessels inserted in a cardboard box or similar container it is therefore known whose position is stuffed into the box Secure filling material, e.g. granulate. However, this is often sufficient for permanent, exact positioning, especially considering the transport often inevitable external impacts.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Versandpackung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine zuverlässige und variable, auch bei unterschiedlich großen Analysen- bzw. Probengefäßen sichere Unterbringung ermöglicht.The invention has for its object a shipping package of the beginning mentioned type to create a reliable and variable, even when different large analysis or sample vessels enables secure storage.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Behälter durch bodenseitig mittig aneinandergereiht angeordnete Schwenksegmente unterteilt ist, die als gelenkige Hohlkörper mit sich gegeneinander verschiebenden Wänden und stationärem Boden ausgebildet sind. Die einzelnen, gegebenenfalls unterschiedlich langen, zweckmäßig über die gesamte Behälterlänge vorgesehenen Schwenksegmente erlauben eine von den jeweiligen Abmessungen der eingelegten Analysengefäße abhängige, zielgenaue Abstützung und Positionierung. Denn durch Herausschwenken eines Schwenksegmentes oder mehrerer Schwenksegmente gemeinsam aus der Mitte zu einer Seite hin, legt sich ein Schwenksegment oder legen sich die mehreren Schwenksegmente vor die betreffende Stirnfläche des Analysen- bzw. Probengefäßes, dessen anderes Ende sich an einer Seitenwand des Verwandbehälters abstützt. Da die Schwenksegmente in der Mitte des Versandbehälters angeordnet sind, mit dem sie in der Ausführung z.B. aus Karton sogleich einstückig hergestellt werden können, wobei alternativ eine Nachrüstung als Schwenksegment-Einlegeteil möglich ist, halten sie außerdem gleichzeitig die parallel zueinander abgelegten Analysengefäße auf Abstand.This object is achieved in that the container through the bottom pivot segments arranged in a row in the middle, the as an articulated hollow body with mutually displacing walls and stationary floor are formed. The individual, possibly different long, appropriately provided over the entire length of the container Swivel segments allow one of the respective dimensions of the inserted Analysis vessels dependent, precise support and positioning. Because by swiveling out one swivel segment or several swivel segments together from the center to one side, a swivel segment lies down or lay the several swivel segments in front of the end face in question of the analysis or sample vessel, the other end of which is on a side wall supports the wallet. Since the swivel segments in the middle of the Dispatch container are arranged with which they can be used e.g. from cardboard can be made immediately in one piece, alternatively retrofitting is possible as a swivel segment insert, they also hold the at the same time analysis vessels placed parallel to each other at a distance.

Je nachdem, zu welcher Seite hin die Schwenksegmente ausgeschwenkt werden oder auch bei eingelagerten Analysengefäßen mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser, verschieben sich die im Ausgangszustand vertikal ausgerichteten, bodenseitig befestigten Seitenwände der im Ausgangszustand im wesentlichen rechteckigen Schwenksegmente in Richtung zur Schwenkseite parallelogrammartig gegeneinander. Hierbei nehmen die Schwenksegmente in dem Versandbehälter eine Lage ein, in der eine Übergangskante von einer Seitenwand zur Deckfläche der Schwenksegmente eine nach oben, zum Deckel des Versandbehälters gerichtete, dachförmige Hochkantlage einnimmt. Wenn dann der Versandbehälter durch den Deckel verschlossen wird, legt sich dieser an die Übergangskanten der Schwenksegmente an und übt auf diese über deren Wände eine gegen die eingelagerten Analysengefäße gerichtete Spreizkraft aus, was die lagesichere Positionierung der eingelagerten Analysengefäße begünstigt.Depending on which side the swivel segments are swung out or also with stored analysis vessels with different diameters, the vertically oriented, bottom-side shift in the initial state attached side walls of the substantially rectangular in the initial state Swivel segments in the direction of the swivel side against each other like a parallelogram. Here, the swivel segments take a position in the shipping container a, in which a transition edge from a side wall to the top surface of the Swivel segments one up, facing the lid of the shipping container, occupies a roof-shaped upright position. Then when the shipping container through the Cover is closed, this lies on the transition edges of the swivel segments and exercises on them over the walls against the stored ones Analysis vessels aligned spreading force, which the secure positioning of the stored analysis vessels favored.

Weitere Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem Patentanspruch und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in der einzigen ZeichnungsFigur schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung. Further features and details of the invention result from the patent claim and the following description of one in the single drawing figure schematically illustrated embodiment of the invention.

Eine gezeigte Versandpackung 1 besteht aus einem aus einem Materialzuschnitt einstückig mit einem Boden 2, Längswänden 3a, 3b, Stirnwänden 4a, 4b und einem Deckel 5 hergestellten, im Ausführungsbeispiel rechteckigen Behälter 6. Dieser ist im geöffneten Zustand gezeigt; zum Verschließen wird der Deckel 6 eingeklappt und über seitliche Laschen 7 bzw. 8 mit den Längs- und Stirnwänden 3a, 3b bzw. 4a, 4b verrastet.A shipping package 1 shown consists of a cut from a material in one piece with a bottom 2, longitudinal walls 3a, 3b, end walls 4a, 4b and one Lid 5 produced, in the embodiment rectangular container 6. This is shown in the open state; to close the lid 6 is folded and via side tabs 7 and 8 with the longitudinal and end walls 3a, 3b or 4a, 4b locked.

In der Mitte des Behälters 6 sind in Längsrichtung aneinandergereiht zahlreiche Schwenksegmente 9a bis 9d angeordnet. Diese sind als gelenkige Hohlkörper 10 ausgebildet, wobei ihre - in der nicht dargestellten Ausgangslage vertikalen - Seitenwände 11a, 11b zwar mit dem Boden 2 des Behälters 6 verbunden, jedoch über diese Anbindungen gelenkig sind. In dem Behälter 6 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Analysen- bzw. Probengefäße 12a, 12b eingelagert, die von unterschiedlicher Länge und unterschiedlichem Durchmesser sind.In the middle of the container 6 there are numerous in the longitudinal direction Swivel segments 9a to 9d arranged. These are as articulated hollow bodies 10 formed, their - in the starting position not shown vertical - side walls 11a, 11b connected to the bottom 2 of the container 6, however are articulated about these connections. In the container 6 are in the embodiment two analysis or sample vessels 12a, 12b are stored, which are of different Length and different diameters are.

In dieser Gebrauchslage der Versandpackung 1 wird das eine Stirnende des Analysen- und Probengefäßes 12b durch die aus der Mitte heraus nach links verschwenkten bzw. -schobenen Schwenksegmente 9a und das andere Stirnende von der Behälterwand 4a abgestützt. Das gegenüber dem Probengefäß 12a kürzere und dickere Probengefäß 12b wird an seinem einen Stirnende von dem aus der Mitte herausgeschwenkten Schwenksegment 9c und das andere Stirnende ebenfalls von der Behälterwand 4a abgestützt. Die nicht zur stirnseitigen Abstützung der Analysen- bzw. Probengefäße 12a, 12b benötigten Schwenksegmente 9d und 9b haben mit ihren Seitenwänden 11a und 11b um ihre Befestigungen am Boden 2 eine Schwenkbewegung hin zu dem im Durchmesser dünneren Probengefäß 12b gemacht.In this position of use of the shipping package 1, the one end of the Analysis and sample vessel 12b through those pivoted to the left from the center or pushed pivotal segments 9a and the other end supported by the container wall 4a. The shorter one compared to the sample vessel 12a and thicker sample vessel 12b is at its one end from which the middle pivoted out swivel segment 9c and the other end also supported by the container wall 4a. Not for frontal support the analysis or sample vessels 12a, 12b required swivel segments 9d and 9b have with their side walls 11a and 11b around their fastenings on Bottom 2 pivots towards the sample vessel, which is thinner in diameter 12b made.

Die der seitlichen Abstützung und der Abstandshaltung der eingelagerten Probengefäße 12a und 12b dienenden Schwenksegmente 9d und 9b nehmen hierbei mit ihren Übergangskanten 13 bzw. Ecken - jeweils von den Seitenwänden 11a zu den Deckenflächen 14 - eine dachartige Hochkantklage ein. Beim Verschließen des Behälters 6 durch Zuklappen des Deckels 5 drückt dieser auf die Übergangskanten 13 der Schwenksegmente und übt damit eine zielgerichtete Vorspannung auf die Probengefäße 12a, 12b aus, was deren lagesichere Positionierung und Halterung weiter begünstigt.The side support and the spacing of the stored sample vessels 12a and 12b serving pivot segments 9d and 9b take here with their transition edges 13 or corners - each from the side walls 11a the ceiling surfaces 14 - a roof-like upright suit. When closing of the container 6 by closing the lid 5, this presses on the transition edges 13 of the swivel segments and thus exercises a targeted bias on the sample vessels 12a, 12b, which indicates their secure positioning and Bracket further favored.

Durch die Unterteilung des Behälters 1 mittels zahlreicher aneinandergereihter, individuell nutzbarer Schwenksegmente 9a bis 9d ist eine sichere Halterung und Positionierung von eingelagerten Analysen- bzw. Probengefäßen 12a, 12b möglich, die sich variabel an die vorgegebenen Abmessungen der Gefäße anpassen läßt. Die Abmessungen bestimmen die Zahl der aus der Mitte entweder nach rechts oder nach links herauszuschwenkenden Schwenksegmente und die Zahl der zur Abstandshalterung und seitlichen Abstützung sich aus der Mitte zu einer Seite hin verschiebenden Schwenksegmente.By dividing the container 1 by means of numerous, individually usable swivel segments 9a to 9d is a secure holder and Positioning of stored analysis or sample vessels 12a, 12b possible, that adapt variably to the given dimensions of the vessels leaves. The dimensions either determine the number from the center swivel segments to swivel out to the right or left and the number to the spacer and lateral support from the center to one Swiveling segments moving to the side.
