In that case, in the conventional cap, the lowering of the cap is stopped at the lateral rib 40. However, in the conventional cap, when the cap is half-capped, the cap may not stop descending at the lateral rib 40 but may stop at the inner fitting portion 30, so that the air flow inside and outside the test tube may stop. However, there was a problem in that the culture of the bacterium did not work well, which was a problem. Also, it was considered to change the lateral ribs 40 into annular ribs (not shown). In this case, although the half-capping state can be surely achieved at the annular ribs, the annular ribs can prevent Distribution will be hindered. Although it was considered to provide a notch in this annular rib, it is difficult to secure sufficient air during culture.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cap for a test tube which can be sealed and which can be sealed when completely plugged.

しい。As a result of earnest studies, the inventors of the present invention have made a dome-shaped inner fitting portion by recessing the top surface of the cap, and by providing a blade on the outer wall of the inner fitting portion. I have realized that the above problems can be solved. That is, the present invention has a top surface, a skirt portion, and an inner fitting portion provided concentrically with the skirt portion on the top surface, and the inner fitting portion is formed in a dome shape in which the top surface is depressed. The inner fitting portion is provided with an annular rib on the outer wall in the vicinity of the top surface,
The test tube cap has a diameter reduced from the annular rib to the top of the dome, and a plurality of vertical vanes are formed on the outer wall of the diameter reduced portion. Here, it is preferable that the blade of the inner fitting portion is formed to be inclined with respect to the outer circumference of the inner fitting portion.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cap of the present invention has a top surface 1, a skirt portion 2, and a dome-shaped inner fitting portion 3 provided on the top surface 1 concentrically with the skirt portion 2. An annular rib 6 is provided on the outer wall of the inner fitting portion 3 in the vicinity of the top surface 1, and the diameter of the dome top portion is reduced.

成するのがよい。The inner fitting portion 3 is a portion to be fitted with the inner wall of the test tube T, and is formed in a dome shape in which the top surface 1 is just recessed (recessed). On the outer wall of the dome of the inner fitting portion 3 near the top surface 1, there is provided an annular rib 6 for engaging with the inner wall of the test tube T and ensuring a sealed state when the cap C is completely plugged. The outer diameter of the portion from the annular rib 6 to the top of the dome is reduced, and a plurality of vertical blades 4 are formed in the reduced diameter portion. This vane 4 has a cap C on the top side of the dome in a half stoppered state.
A step portion 41 (not necessarily required) is formed to stop the descent of the step portion at a predetermined position, and the tip end side of the step portion 41 is slightly reduced in diameter. The blade 4 facilitates fitting with the inner wall of the test tube T, and since the blade 4 has flexibility, the fitting is not tight, so that the cap can be plugged more smoothly than the conventional cap. . Although the number of blades 4 is not particularly limited, it is usually preferable to form 3 to 6 blades. The blades 4 should bend sufficiently when plugged,
As shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the inner fitting portion 3 is formed so as to be inclined with respect to the outer circumference thereof.

撓性樹脂が好適に採用される。When the cap of the present invention is applied to a test tube for culturing, a bacterium to be cultivated is put into a liquid medium (not shown) contained in the test tube T, and the stage 41 of the blade 4 is reached. Put in the test tube (half stoppered). At this time, the outside air is circulated from the space secured by the blades 4 into the test tube T, and the bacteria can be propagated. After a certain period of time, the cap C is completely capped (see FIG. 3), the test tube T is put into a stirrer (not shown), and the state of the bacteria at that time is observed. In the cap of the present invention, air can easily flow in from the outside when it is in the half stoppered state, and in the completely stoppered state, the inner fitting portion 3 is press-fitted so that airtightness is secured. In general, a transparent flexible resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester is preferably used as a material for forming the cap.

Further, since the cap of the present invention is provided with the annular rib on the inner fitting portion, it is possible to prevent liquid leakage during transportation.
