DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The straw pipe main body 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin pipe having an inner diameter of about 1.5 to 2.5 mm. This pipe is made of a colorless and transparent or colored transparent synthetic resin material and is integrally formed into a thin tube having openings on both sides 1a and 1b. I do. It should be noted that the straw pipe main body 1 may be of any size depending on the intended use. Both sides 1a, 1b of the straw tube main body 1 are open, and a plug 2 is formed by successively inserting and inserting the inner plug 2a, the powder paste 2b, and the stopper 2c into one of the sides 1a. At the same time, the electronic individual identification element 3 is loaded on the outside of the plug 2 in the same side portion 1a.

The inner stopper 2a is a preservation material ( preservation solution containing semen, fertilized eggs, etc.) in a tube, such as absorbent cotton, glass fiber, cotton thread, etc.
Is inserted into the straw tube main body 1 slidably and slidably using a material having permeability and air permeability. Powder paste 2b
Is colloidal form touching the preservation solution, materials such as gelation, for example (which is called a powder) polyvinyl alcohol powder, using a gelatin. The powder glue 2b is colloidal form by infiltration of pipe storage material a, the tube body and gelation 1
It does not adhere to and solidify with the tube body 1, maintains its colloidal state and gel state for a long time, and is slidable with respect to the tube body 1. A material that plays a role is used. Stopcock 2c
May be the same material as the inner plug 2a. This is inserted and slidably inserted into the tube body 1 like the inner plug 2a. The inner plug 2a, the powder paste 2b, and the stopper 2c are sequentially inserted in a continuous manner so that the stopper 2
The electronic solid state identification element 3 is inserted outside the plug 2.

The electronic individual identification element 3 registers / recalls data such as the name of an in-pipe storage object and the name of the individual from which it was collected in the IC 3a using a dedicated writing device and reading device.
A coil 3b functioning as a receiver for writing the data and a transmitter for reading the data is connected to a carbon core 3c that winds and holds the coil 3b, and the IC 3a, the coil 3b, and the carbon core 3c are connected to each other. It is configured to be sealed and integrated in a solid cover body 3d made of a transparent resin material.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cover body 3d can be fitted and inserted into the side part 1a, is easy to insert, and has an adhesive between its outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the tube body 1. It is formed into a substantially spindle shape or a substantially cylindrical shape (substantially capsule shape) having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tube body 1 so that a gap for pouring the agent 4 can be secured, and after being inserted into the side portion 1a, Adhered by the adhesive 4 and integrated with the tube body 1.

The other side 1b of the tube body 1 is heat-sealed as shown in FIG. 1, or the above-mentioned plug 2 or a plug made of a metal ball or a resin ball (not shown) is provided on the open side 1b. Seal tightly.

In use, the inside of the disinfected tube body 1 is
Livestock semen and the like are injected from the other side 1b before sealing, and thereafter, the side 1b is sealed. Thereafter or prior to this, the kind to be injected and stored, the name of the individual from which the sample is collected, the date of collection, and other various data are registered in the electronic solid identification element 3 by a dedicated writing device. By reading these data with a dedicated reading device at the time of buying and selling, dealings, and the like, identification of the in-pipe preserved material a is ensured .

After the storage or transportation, when removing semen or the like, the vicinity of the sealed portion is cut off to open the side 1b, and the integrated portion of the electronic individual identification element 3 in the side 1a is cut off. When the stopper 2c is pushed by an appropriate pushing rod 5, the stopper 2c comprising the stopper 2c, the glue-like member 2b 'formed by turning the powder paste 2b into a glue, and the inner stopper 2a is integrated into the tube body 1
The inside can be pushed forward, and the stored material a in the tube can be taken out.

The cut-off electronic individual identification element 3
Is adhered to and integrated with the peripheral wall of the tube body 1 by the adhesive 4, so if only the outer peripheral wall of the tube body is to be removed in order to divert it, the cover 3d is peeled off together and becomes unusable, or When the outer tube body peripheral wall portion is connected to another straw tube, the joint is exposed, so that it can be seen at a glance that it is a counterfeit product.

In this embodiment, the electronic individual identification element 3 is provided outside the plug 2 on one side 1a as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only one plug 2 is fitted and inserted into one side 1a of 1,
The electronic individual identification element 3 may be inserted into the other side 1b and bonded to and integrated with the tube main body 1 with an adhesive 4. In this case, the electronic individual identification element 3 is attached to the other side of the tube main body 1. 1b can also be used as a plug for sealing.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the straw tube of the present invention writes data such as stored items in the tube and the name of the individual from which the sample was collected.
In addition, it is extremely difficult to imitate the identification means because an electronic individual identification element that requires a special writing device and a reading device dedicated for reading data is extremely difficult, and the electronic individual identification element is adhered to the straw tube main body. Because of the integration, the electronic individual identification element is damaged even if it is attempted to remove only the electronic individual identification element from the used straw tube.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to imitate or divert the discriminating means, and it has been possible to provide a straw tube for storing livestock semen, fertilized eggs, etc., which can extremely effectively prevent the production of counterfeit products.
