- Figure 6 is a side view of the cap shown in Figure 5;
- Figure 7 is a top view of the support plate constituting the assembly according to the present invention;
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of the plate of Figure 7;
- Figure 9 is a sectional view along the plane IX-IX of Figure 7 of the support plate, this view being more particularly intended to explain the manner in which a membrane is placed on this plate;
- Figure 10 is a top view similar to Figure 7, in which the silhouette of the membrane has been marked in broken lines.
- the receptacle 1 and the base 2 shown in Figures 1 and 2 attached are part of a microbiological test device.
- the receptacle 1 is intended to receive the liquid product that is proposed to test. It has, as it were, a dual function of container and funnel.
- It comprises a plastic bottle 10, closed by a removable cap 11, which is provided with openings for connection to a pump, for example.
- This container is preferably transparent so that the operator can view the level of liquid that it contains.
- Its lower part is referenced 12, and a part with the bottle, has the general shape of a cylindrical peripheral skirt. As shown more particularly in Figure 3, this lower part is provided with two notches 120 arranged facing each other, whose function will be explained later.
- the bottom of the container 10 which ensures its connection with the lower part 12, is open at its center to provide a circular passage 13 whose lower side is lined with a seal 130 .
- This receptacle 1 is intended to cooperate with a base 2 forming a base.
- This base 2 has a generally cylindrical shape and its peripheral outer wall is, as shown in FIG. 5, provided with two extra thicknesses 23 intended to cooperate with the complementary notches 120 of the lower part 12 of the receptacle 1.
- This base also comprises two tabs 21, elastically deformable, each carrying a finger 210 intended to engage in the openings 121 of the lower part 12 of the receptacle.
- These legs 21 are integral with the base 2. They are directed parallel to its longitudinal axis and separated from the rest of the base.
- the base 2 comprises, parallel to and above a bottom wall 22 provided with a discharge orifice 23, a perforated surface formed of a network of grooves. concentric, which constitutes a surface of filtration.
- Such a structure advantageously replaces a sintered glass surface which previously required to be completed by the use of a cellulose filter support.
- This filtration surface is intended to receive a rigid filtration membrane such as that shown in FIG.
- This filtration membrane consists of a filtration structure 31 disposed on a rigid peripheral frame 30 of circular shape.
- This frame 30 consists for example of a molded plastic material, while the structure 31 of the membrane is for example based on polyethylene terephthalate of a usual thickness of the order of 23 microns and variable porosity of 0.1 a few micrometers.
- the membrane is provided with two diametrically opposed lugs.
- the lug 32 has the general shape of a "T" with a base 320 which extends in a radial direction, and a transverse bar 321 slightly curved, which extends perpendicularly to this base.
- the second lug has the shape of a Latin or Greek cross, with a radial base 330, and a transverse branch 331.
- This membrane is intended to be positioned on the filtration surface of the base 2 described above so that the structure 31 is superimposed on the aforementioned network of concentric grooves.
- the base 2 has a cutout 24 for the engagement of the pins 32 and 33, respectively. This cut forms at the same time a means of immobilization and foolproofing.
- the test operation then consists of marking and / or revealing these contaminants so that they can be visualized or even counted. To do this, it is necessary to take the membrane in place on the base 2 in a sterile manner. Indeed, in the opposite case, the manipulation of the membrane by the operator would bring other types of contaminants.

- the cap 4 is also provided with two diametrically opposed lugs 44 that protrude upwards above the skirt 40. They are angularly spaced notches 41 of 90 °.
- a gripping hand 43 extends perpendicularly to the ears 44.
- This cap 4 is intended to engage on the membrane 3 when it is positioned on the base 2.
- the convergent edges 420 deviate by elastic deformation and snap elastically on these lugs so as to join.
- This support plate 5 full is a molded plastic plate, generally flat, median plane referenced P in Figure 9.
- This plate is provided with an appendix 53, which is in the plane P above and which is in one piece with the rest of the plate.
- This appendix 53 comprises, in its zone of attachment to the remainder of the plate, a line of mechanical weakening 530, materialized by a groove whose function will be explained later.
