Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage basket for a cryogenic container, an elementary module of such a basket and a method of making the basket.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a multi-unit storage basket for storing material in a cryogenic container, in particular for storing housings or bags of biological products, comprising a column of distinct housings stacked along a vertical axis, a housing member. handling and holding disposed at the upper end of the column.
  • Baskets of this type are used especially in cryogenic or cryoconservative containers for the very low temperature storage, in a cryogenic fluid, of biological products (cf. EP530070 ).
  • the baskets or "racks" used to date present many problems. Indeed, the baskets are adapted to a specific geometry (height or width) of cryogenic container and also adapted to a geometry or type of product to be stored (boxes or blood bags for example). As a result, it is necessary to provide a large number of basket references or to use a reduced number of baskets reference but which do not optimally exploit the storage capacity of certain containers.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art noted above.
  • the device according to the invention is essentially characterized in that at least a portion of the column is formed by several separate elementary modules assembled. to each other removably, each of the modules defining one or more adjacent separate dwellings.
  • the column is formed of several elementary modules removably connected in a chain.
  • the assembled modules are integral with each other, the column thus forming an entity that can be carried manually or suspended by its upper end.
  • the column is especially intended to be housed (suspended or placed) in a cryogenic network.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an elementary multi-slot storage basket module for storing material in a cryogenic container.
  • the elementary multi-slot storage basket module for storing material in a cryogenic container delimits one or more adjacent separate dwellings and includes fastening elements of a first type and fastening elements of a second type, the fastening elements of the first and second types being conjugated or complementary to form a removable assembly system with another module.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of producing a multi-slot storage basket for storing material in a cryogenic container.
  • the method comprises a step of assembling several identical or different modules.
  • the invention also relates to a cryogenic container comprising a basket and storage according to any one of the above characteristics or hereafter, the basket being placed manually (placed or suspended) in the storage volume of the container, the basket can manually remove (lift) the container from its top end in the reverse process.
  • the basket 1 or "rack” consists of several cubic modules 3, 4 parallelepiped stacked and assembled to each other.
  • the basket 1 consists of the assembly of two distinct types of elementary modules 3, 4 defining one or more adjacent separate dwellings.
  • a first type of module 3 delimiting two storage stages (or two housings 11, cf. figure 3 ) and a second type of module 4 delimiting a single storage stage (or single housing 11 cf. figure 4 ).
  • the housings 11 of a module 3 or 4 are delimited by a horizontal partition wall (cf. figures 3 and 6 ).
  • Each module 3, 4 comprises, on its lower end face, fastening elements 5 of a first type and, on its upper end face, fastening elements 6 of a second type.
  • the upper fastening element comprises a slider 6 whose section has the general shape of a T.
  • the lower fastening element comprises a groove 5 intended to receive the head slide protruding.
  • the slider 6 and the groove 5 form a sliding type of interlocking system whose sliding direction is perpendicular to the vertical axis V of the stack.
  • the slide system further comprises positioning elements 7, 8 for locking the interlocking of two modules 3, 4 assembled in a predetermined position (alignment position of the front faces for example).
  • the positioning elements 7, 8 comprise, for example, two pins 7 formed in the groove 5 and intended to cooperate by elastic deformation ("clip") with conjugate depressions 8 formed on the slide 6 (cf. figures 5 , 6 and especially).
  • the slide system includes an end stop (not shown) to prevent the slider 6 from emerging from the groove 5 through the opposite end (opposite the entrance end into the groove).
  • the lower face of the module 3 may comprise a periphery forming a bearing surface for steadily laying on a surface.
  • the handling member 2 (loop according to the figure 12 or hook according to the figure 13 ) can be mounted on the top of any module 3, 4 (removably).
  • the handling / suspension member 2 may comprise a base forming a groove 5 of the same type as that of the modules 3, 4 (with the pins 7).
  • basket 1 is thus versatile and can be used in several types of tanks.
  • Handle 2 handling is attached to the upper module of column 1 by the same system of slides 5, 6.
  • the hook or loop can be fixed to the base by a clip or the like.
  • a basket or rack 1 can therefore be composed of several modules 3, 4 according to the number of floors desired by the user, and a handling handle 2 adapted to its reservoir.
  • Each module 3, 4 can be used to serve as a lower module (for example on the bottom of the tank) or higher (receiving the handle 2).
  • each module 3, 4 may contain boxes 10 of tubes, bags of biological products with or without a case or any other object.
  • the basket consists of a stack comprising successively, from bottom to top, three "double” modules 3, a "simple” module 4, a "double” module 3 and a loop 2.
  • the modules 3, 4 shown have a parallelepipedal shape adapted to accommodate parallelepiped boxes 10 ( figure 1 ) or adapted to accommodate pockets of blood for example ( figure 2 ).
  • the basket 1 consists of a stack comprising successively, from the bottom up, a module 3 "double", a module 4 "simple", a module 3 "double” and a hook 2.
  • Each module 3, 4 thus delimits one ( figure 4 ) or multiple dwellings 11 ( figure 3 ).
  • Each housing 11 is accessible via an opening formed on the front face of the module 3, 4.
  • the rear face ( figure 5 ) of the module 3, 4 comprises, for each housing 11, a lower groove 15 for the discharge of the cryogenic liquid (when the basket 1 is removed from the tank in which it is immersed).
  • the rear face preferably comprises an opening 20 whose function will be described below.
  • the side walls of the module 3, 4 may respectively comprise, for each housing 11, a pair of lugs 9 retained.
  • the lugs 9 are preferably located on either side of the opening and close to the front face of the module 3, 4.
  • the lugs 9 are provided for cooperating with a storage box 10 introduced into the housing 11.
  • housing 10 has dimensions provided for its introduction into the housing 1 causes elastic deformation of said module 3, 4 (deformation of the side walls when pressing on the lugs 9).
  • the side walls resume their initial position when the housing 10 is completely inside the housing 11 (pins 9 exceeded).
  • the rear opening of the module allows access and direct manual thrust on a housing 10 for removal from the housing 11 (to again pass the hard point formed by the lugs 9).
  • the modules 3, 4 in particular the modules of smaller width for the storage of product pockets ( figure 10 ), may comprise, for each housing, a valve 12 articulated on the side walls of the module and whose upper lateral ends comprise protuberances 25 adapted to cooperate with orifices 14 on the side walls of the module 3, 4.
  • valve 12 To close the valve 12 it is pushed (on its upper part) in force until its lateral ends penetrate the orifices 14 of the side walls.
  • the flanks of the module 3, 4 (side walls) will move apart elastically to allow the protuberances 25 to pass through the orifices 14.
  • the withdrawal is carried out according to the same principle principle by pulling on the valve 12 ( Figures 10 and 11 ).
  • the elementary modules 3, 4 and the base of the handling member 2 may consist of sheet metal (for example aluminum, preferably of the type 5005) and / or plastic (for example obtained by plastic injection, such as HDPE1000). .
  • Plastic High Density Polyethylene
  • This material is recyclable and very light (density: about 0.93g / cm 3 ) but also decontaminable by hydrogen peroxide vapor spray.
