【Example】

 An example of implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The straw tube body 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin tube with an inner diameter of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 mm. This tube is made of a colorless transparent or colored transparent synthetic resin material and is integrally formed into a thin tube with both side portions 1a and 1b open. Form. The straw tube 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 stopper 2 is formed by successively inserting and inserting a stopper 2a, a powdered paste 2b, and a stopper 2c into one of the sides 1a. At the same time, the electronic individual identification element 3 is mounted on the outside of the stopper 2 in the same side portion 1a.

The inner stopper 2a is made of a material such as absorbent cotton, glass fiber, cotton thread, etc. through which the stored material (sperm, fertilized egg, etc.) in the tube penetrates and is breathable, and can be slidably moved inside the straw tube body 1. Insert it into the shape. As the powder paste 2b, a material that is in the form of a gelatinous substance, sol, or gel upon contact with semen or the like, for example, polyvinyl alcohol powder (commonly called powder) or gelatin is used. This powdered paste 2b keeps air-tightness inside the tube body 1 by being infiltrated, solized and gelated by the infiltration of the preserved substance a in the tube, and does not adhere and solidify to the tube body 1 and is in that state. A material is used, which is in a gel or sol state for a long time, is slidably movable with respect to the tube body 1, and serves as a piston for the stored material a. The stopper 2c may be made of the same material as the inner stopper 2a. Like the inner plug 2a, this is slidably inserted into the tube body 1 and inserted. The inner plug 2a, the powdered paste 2b, and the push plug 2c are successively and continuously inserted to form the plug body 2, and the electronic individual identification element 3 is inserted outside the plug body 2.

The electronic individual identification element 3 registers / calls data such as the names of in-house conserved substances and the individual names of the collection source from the IC3a by using a dedicated writing device and reading device, and the above-mentioned data is stored in the IC3a. A coil 3b that functions as a receiver for writing and a transmitter for reading is connected to a carbon core 3c that holds the coil 3b, and the IC 3a, coil 3b, and carbon core 3c are made of a transparent resin material. It is configured by being enclosed and integrated in the solid cover body 3d.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cover body 3d can be fitted and attached to the side portion 1a and is easy to insert, and is bonded between the outer peripheral surface thereof and the inner peripheral surface of the tube body 1. After being inserted into the side part 1a, it is formed into a substantially spindle shape so that a gap for pouring the agent 4 can be secured, or a substantially elliptical shape (generally capsule shape) having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tube body 1. , And is bonded with the adhesive 4 to be integrated with the tube body 1. Needless to say, a synthetic resin material capable of adhering and integrating the cover body 3d with the tube body 1 is used for the molding of the cover body 3d and the adhesive 4.

The other side portion 1b of the tube body 1 is heat-sealed as shown in FIG. 1, or the opening side portion 1b is provided with the plug body 2 or a plug body (not shown) made of a metal ball or a resin ball. Cover tightly.

[0012] In use, livestock semen or the like is injected into the disinfected tube body 1 from the other side portion 1b before sealing, and then the side portion 1b is sealed. After that, or prior to this, the electronic individual identification element 3 is registered with a variety of data such as the type of product to be injected and stored, the individual name of the collection source, the collection date, and other various data. By reading these data with a dedicated reading device at the time of buying and selling or trading, the quality of the in-pipe stored material a and whether or not it is a counterfeit product are confirmed.

After storage or transportation, when removing semen or the like, the vicinity of the stopper is cut off to open the side portion 1b, and the integrated portion of the electronic individual identification element 3 on the side portion 1a is cut off. By pressing the push-stop 2c with an appropriate push-out rod 5, the push-stop 2c, the glue-like member 2b 'in which the powder paste 2b has been turned into the glue, and the stopper 2 consisting of the inner stopper 2a are pushed together in the tube body 1 Thus, the stored material a in the tube can be taken out.

Further, since the cut-off electronic individual identification element 3 is adhered to and integrated with the peripheral wall portion of the tube body 1 by the adhesive 4, it is necessary to remove only the outer peripheral wall portion of the tube body in order to use it. If this happens, the cover body 3d will peel off together and become unusable, or if the outer wall of the outer tube body is connected to another straw tube, the joint will be exposed and it can be seen at a glance that it is a counterfeit product.

In the present embodiment, the electronic individual identification element 3 is provided outside the plug body 2 on one side portion 1a as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, A configuration in which only the plug 2 is fitted and inserted into one side portion 1a of the tube body 1, the electronic individual identification element 3 is inserted into the other side portion 1b, and the tube body 1 is bonded and integrated with the adhesive 4. In this case, the electronic individual identification element 3 can also be used as a plug body that tightly plugs the other side portion 1b of the tube body 1.
