  • Diabetics are required to keep insulin cool, preferably in a refrigerator, such as a refrigerator. a fridge.
  • 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.
  • the usual elongated, slender shape of insulin vials or insulin bottles makes it difficult to store upright in a refrigerator between foods.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention relates to a storage device which can be integrated in the egg compartment of the refrigerator.
  • Egg compartments are usually shaped to have a flat support plate with openings.
  • bowl-shaped depressions are known, which are generally round and rotationally symmetrical in plan view. Their diameter usually tapers to the ground.
  • 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.
