Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Lagervorrichtung für kleinformatige Gefässe, sowie eine Verwendung der Lagervorrichtung gemäss den Oberbegriffen der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The present invention relates to a storage device for small-sized vessels, and a use of the storage device according to the preambles of the independent claims.
Diabetiker sind gehalten, Insulin kühl aufzubewahren, vorzugsweise in einem Kühlgerät, wie z.B. einem Kühlschrank. Dabei sollen Ampullen, die gelöstes Insulin enthalten, möglichst aufrecht gelagert werden, damit sich gegebenenfalls bildende Luftbläschen im Ampullenkopf sammeln und vor Gebrauch einfach entfernt werden können.Diabetics are required to keep insulin cool, preferably in a refrigerator, such as a refrigerator. a fridge. In this case, ampoules containing dissolved insulin should be stored as upright as possible, so that possibly forming air bubbles collect in the ampoule head and can be easily removed before use.
Die übliche längliche, schlanke Form von Insulinampullen oder Insulinfläschchen erschwert die aufrechte Aufbewahrung in einem Kühlschrank zwischen Nahrungsmitteln. So können die Ampullen z.B. leicht umfallen oder werden bei der Handhabung von Nahrungsmitteln von ihrem ursprünglichen Platz verschoben. Einige Fläschchen haben kleine Abmessungen, wodurch deren Handhabung erschwert wird.The usual elongated, slender shape of insulin vials or insulin bottles makes it difficult to store upright in a refrigerator between foods. Thus, the ampoules can e.g. easily fall over or are moved from their original place when handling food. Some vials have small dimensions, which makes handling difficult.
Ständer oder Gestelle für Röhrchen oder Ampullen sind im Laborbereich hinreichend bekannt. Diese sind im Privatgebrauch aufgrund ihrer Dimensionen allerdings unpraktisch. Des Weiteren ist es im Interesse des Patienten, die Insulinampulle möglichst rasch im Kühlschrank zu finden, weshalb ein fester Ort für die Aufbewahrung der Ampulle bevorzugt ist. Ein Ständer oder Gestell wird bei der Handhabung der Nahrungsmittel leicht verschoben und löst daher diese Aufgabe nicht. Selbiges passiert, wenn die Ampullen in der Verkaufspackung belassen werden. Die Verpackung erschwert zudem, das Haltbarkeitsdatum, die Füllmenge der Ampulle und den Zustand des Insulins optisch zu beurteilen. Unbrauchbar gewordenes gelöstes Insulin hat ein verändertes Aussehen wie z.B. eine Verfärbung.Stands or racks for tubes or ampoules are well known in the laboratory. However, these are impractical in private use due to their dimensions. Furthermore, it is in the interest of the patient to find the insulin ampule as quickly as possible in the refrigerator, which is why a fixed location for the storage of the ampoule is preferred. A stand or rack is easily moved when handling the food and therefore does not solve this task. The same thing happens when the ampoules are left in the sales pack. The packaging also makes it difficult to visually assess the expiry date, the filling volume of the ampoule and the condition of the insulin. Unused dissolved insulin has a changed appearance such as a discoloration.
Daher ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die im Wesentlichen aufrechte Lagerung von Ampullen und anderen kleinformatigen Gefässen im Kühlschrank zu vereinfachen. Weiterhin soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, kleinformatige Gefässe leicht auffindbar und greifbar zu machen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform soll zudem die Aufgabe gelöst werden, den Inhalt des Gefässes optisch beurteilen zu können.It is therefore an object of the present invention to simplify the substantially upright storage of ampoules and other small-sized vessels in the refrigerator. Furthermore, the task should be solved to make small-sized vessels easy to find and tangible. In a preferred embodiment, the object is also to be solved, to be able to visually assess the content of the vessel.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lagervorrichtung, welche sich im Eierfach des Kühlschranks integrieren lässt. In den meisten Kühlschränken wird die Aufbewahrung von Eiern mittels eines Eierfachs gelöst. Eierfächer sind normalerweise so ausgeformt, dass sie eine flache Trägerplatte mit Öffnungen aufweisen. Man kennt im Wesentlichen zwei Ausführungsformen. Einerseits kennt man schalenförmige Vertiefungen, die generell in der Aufsicht im Wesentlichen rund und rotationssymmetrisch sind. Ihr Durchmesser verjüngt sich normalerweise zum Boden hin. Statt der Vertiefungen kann die Trägerplatte als zweite Ausführungsform auch kreisförmige Ausschnitte besitzen, die die Eier an ihrem breitesten Durchmesser gegenüber der Längsachse halten. In beiden Fällen, bei der Vertiefung und bei den kreisförmigen Ausschnitten, wird ein Hohlraum gebildet, der einen eiförmigen Körper aufnimmt. Der Durchmesser der Öffnungen, die für die Lagerung von Eiern geeignet sind, ist von Trägerplatte zu Trägerplatte weitestgehend ähnlich.The invention relates to a storage device which can be integrated in the egg compartment of the refrigerator. In most refrigerators the storage of eggs is solved by means of an egg compartment. Egg compartments are usually shaped to have a flat support plate with openings. Essentially two embodiments are known. On the one hand, bowl-shaped depressions are known, which are generally round and rotationally symmetrical in plan view. Their diameter usually tapers to the ground. Instead of the recesses, the support plate may have as a second embodiment, circular cutouts that hold the eggs at their widest diameter relative to the longitudinal axis. In both cases, in the recess and in the circular cutouts, a cavity is formed, which receives an egg-shaped body. The diameter of the openings, which are suitable for the storage of eggs, is largely similar from carrier plate to carrier plate.
Die in der vorliegenden Erfindung bereitgestellte Lagervorrichtung ist so ausgeformt, dass sie zumindest teilweise in die für die Eier vorgesehenen Öffnungen eingreifen kann, und ein oder mehrere kleinformatige Gefässe darin befestigt und gelagert werden können. Wegen des festgelegten Ortes des Eierfachs ist das Gefäss im Kühlschrank leicht auffindbar. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der Grundkörper der Lagervorrichtung zumindest teilweise aus durchsichtigem Material, wodurch das Haltbarkeitsdatum, der Füllstand des Gefässes und der Zustand des Inhalts optisch rasch beurteilt werden können.The storage device provided in the present invention is formed so that it can at least partially engage in the openings provided for the eggs, and one or more small-sized vessels can be mounted and stored therein. Because of the designated location of the egg compartment, the vessel is easy to find in the fridge. In a preferred embodiment, the main body of the bearing device consists at least partially of transparent material, whereby the expiration date, the level of the vessel and the state of the contents can be visually assessed quickly.
Der im Weiteren verwendete Begriff "kleinförmiges Gefäss" umfasst verschiedene Arten von kleinförmigen Gefässen, insbesondere Ampullen, Karpullen, Patronen, Vials, Röhrchen, Fläschchen und Flakons. Die vorliegende Erfindung beschränkt sich nicht auf Gefässe, in denen normalerweise Insulin bereitgestellt wird, sondern schliesst sämtliche Gefässe kleinen Formats, für Inhaltsstoffe wie Medikamente, Flüssigkeiten zur Reinigung von Kontaktlinsen, Enzyme oder andere Substanzen ein, die im Haushalt oder in einem diagnostischen, medizinischen oder biologischen Labor Verwendung finden. Im Laborbereich findet die vorliegende Erfindung Anwendung, um insbesondere Reagenzröhrchen im Kühlschrank zwischen zu lagern.The term "small-sized vessel" as used hereinafter encompasses various types of small-sized vessels, in particular ampoules, carpules, cartridges, vials, tubes, vials and bottles. The present invention is not limited to vessels in which insulin is normally provided, but includes all small-sized vessels, for ingredients such as medicines, contact lens-cleaning liquids, enzymes or other substances that are used in the home or in a diagnostic, medical or find biological laboratory use. In the laboratory, the present invention finds application, in particular to store test tubes in the refrigerator between.
Die erfindungsgemässe Lagervorrichtung umfasst einen Grundkörper, der geeignet ist, zumindest teilweise in eine Öffnung einzugreifen, die für die Lagerung eines Eies geeignet ist, und dass ein oder mehrere kleinformatige Gefässe darin befestigt und in einer definierten Lage, insbesondere in einer im Wesentlichen aufrechten Position, gelagert werden können. So können die Gefässe beispielsweise unter einem Winkel von 15° gelagert werden.. Auch kann es vorteilhaft sein, die eigentliche Gefässaufnahme als austauschbaren Einsatz auszubilden, so dass eine definierte Befestigung unterschiedlicher Gefässe und/oder in unterschiedlichen Lagen möglich ist.The storage device according to the invention comprises a base body which is suitable for at least partially engaging in an opening which is suitable for the storage of an egg, and in that one or more small-sized vessels are fastened therein and in a defined position, in particular in a substantially upright position, can be stored. Thus, the vessels can be stored, for example, at an angle of 15 ° .. Also, it may be advantageous to form the actual vessel receptacle as a replaceable insert, so that a defined attachment of different vessels and / or in different positions is possible.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform hat der Grundkörper der Lagervorrichtung ganz oder zumindest teilweise die Form einer rotationssymmetrischen Parabel, einer rotations-symmetrischen Halbellipse, einer Halbkugel, einer rotationssymmetrischen Hyperbel, oder eine ähnliche Form mit einem polygonalen oder polygonalähnlichen, insbesondere dreieckigen oder dreiecksähnlichen, Querschnitt. Polygonalähnliche Querschnitte sind beispielsweise Vieleckquerschnitte, bei denen die Ecken nicht durch Geraden verbunden sind. Die letztgenannten Ausführungsformen weisen den Vorteil auf, dass sie beim Auflegen auf eine ebene Fläche nicht davon rollen.In a preferred embodiment, the main body of the bearing device wholly or at least partially in the form of a rotationally symmetric parabola, a rotationally symmetrical hemi-ellipse, a hemisphere, a rotationally symmetric hyperbola, or a similar shape with a polygonal or polygonal-like, in particular triangular or triangular-like, cross-section. Polygonalähnliche Cross sections are, for example, polygonal cross sections, in which the corners are not connected by straight lines. The latter embodiments have the advantage that they do not roll off when placed on a flat surface.
Dabei ist es bei den beiden vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen, bzw. bei Ausführungsformen der Lagervorrichtung, welche beim Aufstellen auf eine ebene Oberfläche eine relativ kleine Aufstandsfläche aufweisen, bevorzugt, dass die Lagervorrichtung im unteren Bereich des Grundkörpers einen Ballast aufweist, welcher nach dem Aufstellen der Lagervorrichtung mit der Unterseite auf einer ebenen Oberfläche einem Stehaufmännchen vergleichbar, infolge seines tiefen Schwerpunktes eine aufrechte Position der Lagervorrichtung sicherstellt.It is in the two previous embodiments, or in embodiments of the storage device, which have a relatively small footprint when placing on a flat surface, preferred that the bearing device in the lower part of the body has a ballast, which after setting up the bearing device with the underside on a flat surface comparable to a Stehaufmännchen, ensures an upright position of the bearing device due to its low center of gravity.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Grundkörper der Lagervorrichtung ganz oder zumindest teilweise zylinderförmig. Der Zylinder geht in seinem unteren Teil bevorzugt in einen bevorzugterweise mehrflächigen, bevorzugterweise als Dodekader ausgebildeten, kappenförmigen Bereich über. Insbesondere bei mehrflächigen kappenförmigen Bereichen ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass diese als Standflächen dienen können, bzw. ein Rollen beim Ablegen verhindern.In a further preferred embodiment, the base body of the bearing device is completely or at least partially cylindrical. The cylinder is preferably in its lower part in a preferably multi-surface, preferably designed as a Dodekader, cap-shaped area over. In particular, in the case of multi-surface cap-shaped regions, there is the advantage that they can serve as standing surfaces, or prevent rolling when depositing.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Boden 3 des Grundkörpers abgeflacht, so dass der Körper leichter auf einer geraden Oberfläche abgestellt werden kann.In yet another preferred embodiment, the
Die Dimensionen der Lagervorrichtung können variieren. Auch wenn der Grundkörper nicht passgenau in eine Öffnung zur Eierlagerung eingreift, so sollte eine im Wesentlichen aufrechte Lagerung der Gefässe gewährleistet sein.The dimensions of the storage device may vary. Even if the base body does not fit accurately into an opening for egg storage, so a substantially upright storage of the vessels should be guaranteed.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform hat der Grundkörper an der Aussenseite einen umlaufenden Vorsprung, bevorzugterweise einen Ring, mit welchem der Grundkörper von dem Rand der Öffnung des Eierfachs gehalten werden kann, was der Lagervorrichtung eine zusätzliche Stabilität verleiht.In yet another preferred embodiment, the base body on the outside has a circumferential projection, preferably a ring, with which the main body of the edge of the opening of the Egg compartment can be kept, which gives the storage device additional stability.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform können Aussparungen vorhanden sein, die bevorzugterweise das Greifen der Lagervorrichtung erleichtern. Diese Aussparungen können sich z.B. in der äusseren Wand des Grundkörpers befinden und verschiedene Dimensionen annehmen.In yet another preferred embodiment, there may be recesses which preferably facilitate gripping the bearing device. These recesses may be e.g. located in the outer wall of the body and assume different dimensions.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Aussparungen so weitgehend, dass lediglich zwei oder mehr Arme das Gefäss über eine Halterung fixieren. Die Lagervorrichtung ist somit auf die wesentlichen Positionierungsmittel reduziert.In a preferred embodiment, the recesses are so extensive that only two or more arms fix the vessel via a holder. The bearing device is thus reduced to the essential positioning means.
Das in die Öffnungen eingreifende Element des Grundkörpers kann hohl oder alternativ massiv gestaltet sein. Die Befestigung der Gefässe innerhalb des Grundkörpers kann auf verschiedene Weise gelöst werden, jedoch ist es bevorzugt, dass die Gefässe im Wesentlichen senkrecht gelagert werden. Als Gefässhalterung, d.h. als Befestigungsmittel für ein oder mehrere kleinformatige Gefässe, kommen verschiedene Elemente in Frage. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das zum Eingreifen vorgesehene Element der Lagervorrichtung massiv sein und eine oder mehrere Aussparungen aufweisen, in dem die Gefässe zur Halterung eingesteckt werden können. In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das zum Eingreifen vorgesehene Element der Lagervorrichtung hohl sein und eine Schale bilden. Diese kann mit einem zweiten Element gefüllt sein. Dazu eignen sich z.B. ein elastischer Schaumstoff oder ein nicht-elastischer Schaumstoff, wie z.B. expandiertes Polystyrol. Als Gefässhalterung werden in dieses zweite Material Vertiefungen oder Schlitze geformt, so dass ein Gefäss oder mehrere Gefässe in das Material gesteckt werden können. Alternativ kann in einem hohlen Grundkörper das Gefäss, resp. die Gefässe, in eine Gefässhalterung, wie z.B. eine Röhre oder eine Anzahl von Röhren, bzw. in reduzierter Fassung in einen Ring, oder eine Anzahl von miteinander verbundenen Ringen, gesteckt werden, die von zwei oder mehr Wänden, oder Armen, die vom äusseren Rand her zu der Halterung laufen, gestützt werden. Ein weiteres bevorzugtes Mittel zur Gefässhalterung sind drei oder mehr leicht biegsame Stäbe, die von der Unterseite der Schale im Wesentlichen senkrecht nach oben vorstehen, und zwischen die ein oder mehrere Gefässe gesteckt werden können. Zur Halterung von mehreren Gefässen kann eine Vielzahl von Stäben kreisförmig oder in versetzten Reihen angeordnet werden. Generell ist es denkbar, die Gefässhalterung als Einsatz oder untrennbar mit der Lagervorrichtung auszubilden. Bei erstgenannter Variante ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass durch die Verwendung von Einsätzen die verschiedenen Gefässhalterungen gegeneinander ausgetauscht werden können, so dass unterschiedliche Gefässe und/oder Gefässanzahlen in der Vorrichtung aufgenommen werden können.The engaging in the openings element of the body can be made hollow or alternatively solid. The attachment of the vessels within the body can be solved in various ways, but it is preferred that the vessels are stored substantially vertically. As a vessel holder, ie as a fastener for one or more small-sized vessels, various elements come into question. In a preferred embodiment, the intervening element of the bearing device can be solid and have one or more recesses in which the vessels can be inserted for mounting. In another preferred embodiment, the engaging element of the bearing device may be hollow and form a shell. This can be filled with a second element. For this purpose, for example, an elastic foam or a non-elastic foam, such as expanded polystyrene are suitable. As a vessel holder depressions or slots are formed in this second material, so that a vessel or more vessels can be inserted into the material. Alternatively, in a hollow body, the vessel, resp. the vessels, in a vessel holder, such as a tube or a number of tubes, or in reduced version in a ring, or a number of interconnected rings are plugged, which are supported by two or more walls, or arms that run from the outer edge to the holder. Another preferred means for vessel support are three or more slightly flexible rods, which project from the bottom of the shell substantially vertically upwards, and between which one or more vessels can be inserted. For holding a plurality of vessels, a plurality of bars may be arranged in a circle or in staggered rows. In general, it is conceivable to form the vessel holder as an insert or inseparable from the bearing device. In the first-mentioned variant, there is the advantage that the use of inserts allows the various vessel holders to be interchanged so that different vessels and / or vessel numbers can be accommodated in the device.
Gemäss noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform greift der Grundkörper in zwei oder mehrere Öffnungen des Eierfachs ein und ist an der Oberseite mit einem Trägeraufsatz versehen. Dieser Aufsatz ist plattenförmig, und bevorzugt rechteckig oder oval und kann mit Ausschnitten versehen sein, welche eine oder mehrere Öffnungen des Eierfachs freilassen. Der oder die Elemente der Lagervorrichtung, die sich auf der Unterseite des Trägeraufsatzes befinden und dazu vorgesehen sind, in die Öffnung eines Eierfachs eingreifen, dienen der Fixierung der Lagervorrichtung im Eierfach. Ist der Trägeraufsatz massiv, so sind darin bevorzugt eine oder mehrere Vertiefungen zur Gefässhalterung eingelassen. Alternativ kann der Trägeraufsatz auch schalenförmig ausgebildet sein. Bevorzugt wird in diese Schale ein zweites Element, wie z.B. ein elastischer oder nicht-elastischer Schaumstoff, eingebettet. In dieses zweite Element werden als Gefässhalterung Schlitze oder Löcher eingearbeitet. Optional kann der Aufsatz einen Deckel besitzen.According to yet another preferred embodiment, the main body engages in two or more openings of the egg compartment and is provided at the top with a carrier attachment. This attachment is plate-shaped, and preferably rectangular or oval, and may be provided with cutouts which leave one or more openings of the egg compartment. The one or more elements of the storage device, which are located on the underside of the support member and are intended to engage in the opening of an egg compartment, serve to fix the storage device in the egg compartment. If the carrier attachment is solid, then preferably one or more recesses for the vessel holder are embedded therein. Alternatively, the carrier attachment can also be designed shell-shaped. Preferably, a second element, such as an elastic or non-elastic foam, is embedded in this shell. In this second element are called Vessel holder Slots or holes incorporated. Optionally, the attachment may have a lid.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Material aus dem die Lagervorrichtung gefertigt ist, zumindest in dem Bereich, indem das Gefäss aufgenommen wird, durchsichtig, damit der Inhalt des Gefässes betrachtet werden kann, ohne dass das Gefäss aus dem Grundkörper herausgenommen werden muss.In yet another preferred embodiment, the material from which the storage device is made is transparent, at least in the area where the vessel is received, so that the contents of the vessel can be viewed without having to remove the vessel from the body.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Lagervorrichtung einen Deckel auf. Der Deckel bietet zusätzlichen Schutz für das Gefäss, resp. die Gefässe, bei der häufigen Handhabung von Lebensmitteln. Zudem verhindert der Deckel die Beeinträchtigung der übrigen im Kühlschrank befindlichen Gegenstände durch eventuelle Emissionen, insbesondere Gerüche, des Gefässinhalts. Bevorzugterweise ist die Vorrichtung hierzu mit einem Mittel zur Geruchsneutralisation, wie z.B. ein Aktivkohlefilter ausgestattet. Ausserdem können auf dem Deckel Elemente angebracht werden, die die Handhabung von Gefässen weiter erleichtern. Der Deckel kann auf den Grundkörper aufgesetzt sein oder alternativ mit dem Grundkörper auf verschiedene Arten verbunden werden. Ein mögliches Verbindungsmittel ist eine Scharniervorrichtung, die zwischen Deckel und Grundkörper angebracht ist. Im zusammengeklappten Zustand bilden diese eine stabile Verbindung. Alternativ können Deckel und Grundkörper über ein Gewinde, eine Bajonettverbindung oder eine Schnappverbindung lösbar miteinander verbunden sein. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform hat eines der Elemente (Deckel oder Grundkörper) am Rand einen umlaufenden Wulst, der unter Druck in eine umlaufende Rinne des anderen Elements reversibel einrastet. Auch ist es vorgesehen, diese Verbindung mittels als Dichtung ausgebildeter Weichkomponenten auszubilden, welche unter elastischer Deformation die Verbindung herstellen. Die Form des Deckels ist variabel. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Deckel schalenförmig ausgebildet. Der Deckel ist vorzugsweise aus durchsichtigem Material. So kann das Haltbarkeitsdatum, die Füllmenge des gelagerten Gefässes und der Zustand des Inhalts leicht optisch beurteilt werden.In yet another preferred embodiment, the storage device has a lid. The lid provides additional protection for the vessel, resp. the vessels, in the frequent handling of food. In addition, the lid prevents the impairment of the other items in the refrigerator by any emissions, especially odors, the vessel contents. For this purpose, the device is preferably equipped with an agent for odor neutralization, such as an activated carbon filter. In addition, elements can be mounted on the lid to further facilitate the handling of vessels. The lid may be placed on the body or alternatively connected to the body in various ways. One possible connecting means is a hinge device, which is mounted between the lid and the base body. In the folded state, these form a stable connection. Alternatively, the lid and body can be releasably connected to each other via a thread, a bayonet connection or a snap connection. In another embodiment, one of the elements (cover or base body) at the edge has a circumferential bead, which reversibly engages under pressure into a circumferential groove of the other element. It is also intended to form this connection by means of soft components designed as a seal, which produce the connection with elastic deformation. The Shape of the lid is variable. In a preferred embodiment, the lid is cup-shaped. The lid is preferably made of transparent material. Thus, the expiration date, the capacity of the stored vessel and the state of the content can be easily visually assessed.
Ein Grundkörper mit Deckel kann auch zum sicheren Transport von Gefässen, wie z.B. Insulinampullen, benutzt werden, ohne dass diese beschädigt werden. Für solche Zwecke sind Deckel und Grundkörper bevorzugterweise aus einem thermisch isolierenden Material gebildet, welches die Temperatur innerhalb der Lagervorrichtung möglichst konstant hält. Bevorzugterweise ist hierzu innerhalb der Lagervorrichtung ein insbesondere austauschbarer Temperaturspeicher angeordnet. Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, den Grundkörper im Wesentlichen massiv aus einem Material mit hoher spezifischer Wärmekapazität, z.B. Kupfer oder Aluminium, herzustellen, um eine hohe thermische Trägheit zu erhalten. Bevorzugt ist auch die Ausbildung des Deckels und des Grundkörpers aus einem schlagzähen Material.A base with lid can also be used to safely transport vessels, e.g. Insulin vials are used without damaging them. For such purposes, the lid and base body are preferably formed of a thermally insulating material, which keeps the temperature within the storage device as constant as possible. For this purpose, a particularly exchangeable temperature reservoir is preferably arranged within the bearing device. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to make the main body essentially solid from a material having a high specific heat capacity, e.g. Copper or aluminum, to obtain a high thermal inertia. Preference is also given to the formation of the lid and the base body made of an impact-resistant material.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist auf dem Grundkörper oder dem Deckel eine Skala und/oder ein Temperaturindikator angebracht, die das Beurteilen der Füllhöhe und der Innentemperatur erleichtern. In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist eine Vergrösserungslupe in die Wand des Grundkörpers oder in den Deckel eingebaut, damit der Füllstand besser abgelesen werden kann und eine visuelle Kontrolle des Inhalts möglich ist. Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann der Grundkörper oder der Deckel eine Informationsträgerfläche bereitstellen, auf die Informationen manuell eingetragen werden können, z.B. das Ablaufdatum der Flüssigkeit, die sich in dem Gefäss befindet. Auch ist es denkbar, dass ein Etikettenhalter bereitgestellt wird, in welchen Etiketten oder ein Ausschnitt aus einer Gefässverpackung eingesteckt werden können. Weiterhin ist es vorgesehen, eine Antihaftfläche bereitzustellen, auf der Selbstklebeetiketten angeordnet und leicht wieder entfernt werden können.In yet another preferred embodiment, a scale and / or a temperature indicator is mounted on the base body or the lid, which facilitate the assessment of the filling level and the internal temperature. In yet another preferred embodiment, a magnification magnifier is installed in the wall of the body or in the lid, so that the level can be read off better and a visual control of the content is possible. In a further preferred embodiment, the main body or the lid can provide an information carrier surface on which information can be entered manually, for example the expiration date of the liquid which is located in the vessel. It is also conceivable that a label holder is provided in which labels or a Part of a vessel packaging can be inserted. Furthermore, it is envisaged to provide a non-stick surface on which self-adhesive labels can be arranged and easily removed again.
Ein zweiter Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung der erfindungsgemässen Lagervorrichtung gemäss dem ersten Aspekt, zur Lagerung eines Medikamentengefässes, bevorzugterweise einer Insulinampulle, im Eierfach eines Kühlschranks.A second aspect of the invention relates to the use of the storage device according to the invention according to the first aspect, for the storage of a medicament container, preferably an insulin ampule, in the egg compartment of a refrigerator.
