  • severable which meansthat it may be readily cut with a manually operated, sharp cutting edge, such as a knife blade, scissors, clippers, or the like.
  • the plugs 3 and 4 also, may be made of any suitable material, but preferably are made of a suitable plastic material such as, for example, polypropylene.
  • the plug 3 shown in the drawings comprises an elongated member having oppositely disposed, outer end portions 6 and 7, FIGS. 2 and 3, separated by an elongated, substantially cylindrical-shaped, central body portion 8.
  • Two annular lands or ribs 9 and 10 extend around the body portion 8, transversely to the length thereof, in spaced, parallel relation to each other.
  • the lands 9 and 10 are disposed closely adjacent to, but spaced from the end portions 6 and 7, respectively, FIG. 3.
  • end portions 6 and 7 of the plug 3 shown in the drawing are frusto-conical in shape, terminating at their outer ends in substantially flat faces 11 and 12, respectively, FIG. 3, which are smaller in diameter than the inner ends of the respective end portions 6 and 7.
  • the plug 3 is disposed in the tubular member 2 with a relative snug, force fit, but is movable longitudinally therethrough by the application of manual force applied by suitable means, such as a plunger, to the face 11 of the end portion 6, as will be discussed in greater detail presently.
  • suitable means such as a plunger
  • the plug 3 in the assembled capsule 1 is so disposed in the tubular member 2 that the face 11 of the end portion 6 thereof is disposed in uniplanar relation to the outer end 13 of the tubular member 2.
  • the plug 4 is somewhat similar in construction to the plug 3, embodying a frusto-conical shaped end portion 14 tapering inwardly away from one end of an elongated, substantially cylindrical-shaped, central body portion 15 and terminating at its outermost end in a substantially flat face 16, and including two lands l7 and 18 projecting radially outwardly from opposite end portions of the body portion 15 in parallel spaced relation to each other and to the respective adjacent ends of the body portion 15.
  • the end portion of the plug 4 remote from the end portion 14 comprises a cap or end piece, in the form of a substantially flat plate 19, which is round in cross section, transverse to the length of the plug 4, and which projects radially outwardly beyond the adjacent end of the body portion 15.
  • the cap 19 is of the same outside diameter as the-outside diameter of the tubular member 2, and in the assembled capsule 1, the outer peripheral edge portion 20 thereof is disposed in abutting juxtaposition to the end 21 of the tubular member 2 remote from the end 13 thereof, FIG. 2. It will be seen that with this construction of the plug 4, when the latter is disposed in operative position in the tubular member 2, the cap 19 affords an effective abutment member for engaging the outer end 21 of the tubular member 2, to thereby accurately locate theplug 4 in the tubular member 2, and to prevent the plug 4 from being pushed through the tubular member 2, for a purpose which will be discussed in greater detail presently.
  • the outside diameter of the lands 9, l0, l7 and 18 preferably are such that, when the plugs 3 and 4 are disposed in operative position in the respective end portions of the tubular member 2, the latter are expanded outwardly somewhat thereby to afford a liquid-tight sealing engagement between the tube. 2 and the plugs 3 and 4.
  • the outside diameter of the lands 9, 10 and 17 may be made in the nature ofO. 109 inch and 0.1 l 1 inch and preferably 0.1 10 inch.
  • the wall portions of the tubular member 2, adjacent to the lands 9, 10 17 and 18 in the assembled capsule 1, are expanded outwardly by the respective lands to afford a somewhat wrap-around engagement of the tubular member 2 with the lands 9, 10, 17 and 18 which is effective to provide an efficient seal against leakage of air, gas and liquid past the plugs 3 and 4, and is effective to hold the plugs 3 and 4 in the tubular member 2.
  • the proper amount of fluid may be inserted into the tubular member 2, with the latter disposed in horizontally extending position, and the plugs 3 and 4 may then be inserted into operative position in the respective ends of the tubular member 2 to seal the fluid therein.
  • the lands 9 and 10, and'the lands l7 and 18, afford an effective double-seal at the respective ends of the tubular member 2 against leakage of the fluid 5 outwardly past the plugs 3 and 4, respectively, and against the passage of liquid, air or gases past the plugs 3 and 4 into the tube 5, to thereby afford effective protection against the leakage of the fluid 5 from the tubular member 2 and against the passage of contaminants from outside of the tubular member 2 into the fluid 5.
  • Capsules of the type shown herein are commonly stored in what may be termed extremely cold refrigerants, such as, for example, liquid nitrogen, and the like, the temperature of which may be several hundred degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
  • extremely cold refrigerants such as, for example, liquid nitrogen, and the like
  • Such cooling of the interior of the capsule 1 causes contraction of any gases which may be trapped therein between the plugs 3 and 4, so as to reduce the pressure within the capsule l and thus tend to cause the flow of any surrounding liquid, or gases, or the like, into the capsule 2. If such inward flow occurs, there is danger of deleteriously contaminating the fluid 5.
  • the end 21 of the tubular member 2 may be opened, and the tubular member 2, with the fluid 5 and the plug 3 remaining therein may be inserted into operative position in a suitable applicator apparatus, such as, for example, the apparatus 22 shown in FIG. 1.

It embodies a front end 24 and a rear end 25, and, preferably, is substantially uniform in internal diameter from the rear end 25 to a front end portion 26 thereof, adjacent to the front end 24, from which point it tapers inwardly, in a substantially frustoconical shape to a discharge opening 27 in the front end 24.
  • any suitable material such as, for example, stainless steel, extruded aluminum or a suitable plastic such as, for ex ample, polypropylene.
  • the plunger 28 embodies an enlarged handle portion 30 at the outer end thereof, and an inner end portion 31, at the other end thereof, the inner end portion 31 being of reduced cross sectional size, as compared to the cross sectional size of the body portion 29, and projecting from the body portion 29 in substantially axial alignment therewith.
  • the tubular member 2, with plug 3 and the fluid 5 remaining therein may be inserted into the housing 23 into position wherein the end thereof remote from the end 13 is disposed in engagement with the inner face of the front end' portion 26 of the housing 23, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the plunger 28 may be inserted into operative position in the housing 23, wherein the end portion 31, which is of a cross sectional size adapted to pass through the tubular member 2, is engaged with the outer end face 11 of the plug 3.
  • the plunger 28 may be manually pressed forwardly into the housing 23 to thereby cause the plug 3 to be moved forwardly along the tubular member 2, with the lands 9 and in firm wiping engagement with the inner surface of the tubular memher 2, into position, such as that shown in broken lines in FIG. 1, and thereby discharge the fluid 5 outwardly from the tubular member 2 and through the opening 27 in the housing 23.
  • the handle 30 is so disposed relative to the front end of the front end portion 31 of the plunger 28 that it will engage the end 25 of the housing 23 in the most forward position, which is desired for the plunger28, so as to limit movementof the plug 3 to a position, such as shown in broken lines in FIG. 1, wherein it is effective to completely discharge the fluid from the tubular member 2 while remaining disposed in the latter.
  • the plunger 28 may be removed from .the housing 23, the emptied tubular member 2, with the plug 3 remaining therein, may be removed from housing 23 through the end 25 thereof, and, if desired, after the housing 23 has been suitably sterilized, another tubular member 2 with the plug 3 and fluid 5 remaining therein may be inserted into operative position in the housing 23 for another insemination operation.
  • the force with which the plug 4 is engaged with the tubular member 2 may be such that, by using a suitable manually operated tool, such as, for example, a pliers, or the like, the plug 4 may be manually removed from the tubular member 2 to thereby open the end 21 thereof.
  • a suitable manually operated tool such as, for example, a pliers, or the like
  • the plug 4 may be manually removed from the tubular member 2 to thereby open the end 21 thereof.
  • the tubular member 2 is constructed of severable material, and I prefer that, in the opening of the tubular member 2, the latter be cut off inwardly of, and immediately adjacent to the inner end 16 of the plug 4.
