[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for sampling a sample such as human blood or urine collected by a medical laboratory or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, there are roughly two types of containers for sampling a specimen such as blood or urine of a human body collected by a medical laboratory or the like. One is a dropper type container made of a soft synthetic resin made of a tube portion and a nozzle connected to one end thereof, and the other is a tube container having one end opened like a normal test tube.

[0003] In recent years, robots and other automatic processing devices have been used in order to respond to large-scale processing of specimens. However, dropper-type containers made of soft synthetic resin are deformed into various shapes. Work such as holding and transporting cannot be performed. In this respect, a tube container made of a hard material has a fixed shape, and can be easily processed by an automatic processing device, but has a disadvantage that a function as a dropper cannot be provided. It is very difficult to manufacture only a part of the material from a soft material, which is not suitable for mass production.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to provide an inexpensive sample sampling container having a dropper function and high mechanical processing properties. The gist of the present invention is to provide a tube portion and one end thereof. The continuous nozzle is made of a soft synthetic resin material, and a part of the tube near the nozzle
The sample sampling container is characterized in that a cylindrical body made of a hard synthetic resin material is fitted to the lower outer periphery of the sample sampling container while leaving a pressing operation portion . Here, the sample sampling container is a container that collects a sample of human body blood, urine, plasma and the like and holds it for examination.

[0005] This container firstly comprises a tube portion and nozzles planted at one end thereof, which are made of a soft synthetic resin material. The tube portion is a hollow elongated tube for storing a sample, and has flexibility. Its one end is erected nozzle for guiding a suction discharge, nozzle tube portion
A part close to the left side is left as a pressing operation part, and by pressing this part several times, the sample is sucked into or poured out of the tube part through the nozzle. Accordingly, a dropper function is provided by these.

Next, the tube portion is left near the nozzle.
A cylinder made of a hard synthetic resin material on the outer periphery below the pressing operation part
There has been fitted. In other words, this pressing operation part is
The tube is provided between the end and the tube, and the tube is not required to cover the entire lower part of the tube, and may be left open. The fitting of the tube portion and the cylinder is desirably performed by a thread formed on the outer periphery of the tube portion and the inner periphery of the cylinder, but other means may be used. Further, in order to enhance the mechanical operability, it is preferable that the diameter of the lower portion of the pressing operation portion of the tube portion is reduced by the thickness of the cylindrical body so that the pressing operation portion and the cylindrical body have the same diameter.

[0007]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the nozzle of the sample sampling container is inserted into the container containing the collected sample, the cylinder is gripped by the palm, and the tube is pushed.
The sample is sucked into the tube section by operating the pressure operation section with a finger , the nozzle is heat-sealed and sealed, and then packed with dry ice and transported to a predetermined inspection place. At the inspection location, the nozzle portion is cut and aligned on a rack. Next, the sample is dispensed into a plurality of containers by the dispensing device, and a plurality of tests are performed on one sample. At this time, the dispensing device grips the sample sampling container with gripping means such as claws, and a cylindrical body made of hard synthetic resin is fitted around the outer periphery of the container, and its shape and height are standardized. Therefore, according to a predetermined program, the apparatus carries out an operation of unloading the containers one by one from the rack, dispensing the sample therein to other various test containers, and discarding the sample after dispensing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a sample sampling container, 2 denotes a tube portion, and 3 denotes a tube portion.
Nozzles connected at the upper end of each of these are all made of soft synthetic resin. Reference numeral 4 denotes a pressing operation section provided at the upper end of the tube section 2. By pressing this section, injection and discharge of a sample are operated. The lower part of the pressing operation part 4 has a small diameter, and the cylindrical body 5 is fitted to this part. Reference numeral 6 denotes a thread formed on the tube portion 2, and reference numeral 7 denotes a thread formed on the inner periphery of the tube 5, and the tube 5 is screwed to the tube 2 by both. 8 is a bar code label.

[0009]

[Effect] As described above, in the present invention, the nozzle of the dropper type sampling container made of a soft synthetic resin material is used .
The hard synthetic resin material or al <br/> made cylindrical body at its lower periphery because is obtained by fitting the coating leaving Rino portion, a cylindrical portion with the palm
Tube section from nozzle with uncovered cylinder
By operating the pressing operation part, as a dropper,
The sample can be injected and poured, and since there is a hard cylinder fitted on the outer periphery, this part is used as a gripping member in mechanical processing such as robots and automatic inspection devices. Since it can be used, the ease of machine processing is not impaired. In addition, since members of different materials are simply manufactured and fitted together as described above, mass productivity is high and the manufacturing cost is extremely low.
