Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a sample container for storing samples such as blood used in the field of clinical testing.The present invention is a sample container that is suitable for storing samples of minute volume and is easy to handle. Conventionally, in the field of clinical testing, glass test tube type containers and plate type containers have been used to store samples such as blood.

Glass containers have the advantage of being moderately heavy and easy to handle, but they are expensive and cannot be disposed of.
It has drawbacks such as being easily damaged if accidentally dropped, and requiring cleaning, sterilization, and drying, which is time-consuming.

In order to overcome these drawbacks of glass containers, containers made of synthetic resin have come into use in recent years.
Containers made of synthetic resin are generally lightweight, and those that stand upright are often bottle-type with a large base area, which requires a large floor space and is difficult to use in sample loaders of automatic analyzers. had the disadvantage that it could not be arranged in large numbers.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and consists of a cylindrical vertically elongated container body made of synthetic resin and a lid body made of synthetic resin. It has a protrusion that can fit into the recess of the container body, and a protrusion that protrudes downward inside the container, and an outer periphery whose lower end is located below the protrusion. By configuring the peripheral edge and the protrusion to form an engagement groove into which the open end of the container body can be fitted, the container can be stood upright with a small bottom area, and can be manufactured at a low cost, making it disposable. is possible, and the sample is in the container = 7) near the R port! The purpose is to provide an extremely hygienic sample container that will not leak.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sample container of the present invention consists of a cylindrical vertically elongated container body 1 made of synthetic resin and a lid 2 made of synthetic resin.

The container body 1 is made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene, and has an internal volume of, for example, 2 to 5 liters.

The lid 2 is a molded piece of opaque or translucent synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene.

A recess 3 is provided at the bottom of the container body 1, while a lid 2
A convex portion 4 that fits into the concave portion 3 is provided at the top.

Further, a downwardly directed protrusion 5 is provided inside the lid 2,
The distal end surface (lower end surface) of the protrusion 5 is positioned above the lower end 7 of the outer periphery 6 of the lid body 2, and is fitted into the engagement groove 8 formed by the outer periphery 6 and the protrusion 5. , is configured so that the opening upper edge 9 of the container body 1 can be fitted to maintain airtightness.

When using a large number of sample containers configured as described above side by side, as shown in FIG. By inserting this protrusion 10 into the recess 3 at the bottom of the container body 1, the container body 1 is fixed in an upright position.

On the other hand, when using each sample container individually, as shown in FIG. 3, the container body 1 can be stably erected by inserting the protrusion 4 of the lid 2 into the recess 3 at the bottom of the container body 1. .

This prevents accidents such as falls.

Since the sample container of the present invention is constructed as described above, it has various effects as described below.

(1) Since the bottom area of the vertically long container can be reduced, a large number of containers can be arranged in parallel in a small area.

(2) Since it can be supplied as a synthetic resin molded product at a low price, it is disposable and helps save labor.

(3) When a holding stand is used, the protrusion of the holding stand fits into the recess of the container body to stand upright, thereby ensuring that the container stands upright and preventing accidents such as falling.

(4) When using the sample container alone, the lid acts as a stand and stands upright more stably.

(5) The protrusion inside the lid allows the sample to be brought close to the opening of the container body! It does not leak and is extremely hygienic.

(6) Since the lid has an outer rim, the lid can be used directly as a desk.
Even when placed on a table, etc., the sample attached to the protrusion inside the lid will not stain the desk, table, etc., making it extremely hygienic.
