Definitions

  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view through the strainer piston
  • the body of the device consisting of the cylinder 1 may be made of any suitable material and is preferably of a transparent nature to permit the mixing operation to be observed.
  • the cylinder 1 is open at its opposite ends and if and when desired the upper end can be closed by means of a conventional snap-on type of closure cap 2.
  • tray 4 and closure cap 19 are molded into the same surface of cap 19 molded into the same surface of cap 19 molded into the same surface of cap 19 .
  • the other surfaces of the tray and cap preferably have the usual relatively smooth finish imparted by contact with the polished metal mold during the molding operatlOl'l.
  • the soft polyethylene yields to conform to the other; to this end the internal diameter of the bottom of the tube is made slightly less than the external diameter of the wall 5, the dimensions being such that the force fit canbe affected by hand pressure
  • the whole device is so constructed and of such size that the various parts may be easily manipulated by hand and may be produced at low cost; thus, they are economical to use despite the fact that they are thrown away after a single use.
  • the tray or holder 4 is of such outer dimensions as to form a stable supporting base for the cylinder, even when a microscope slide is placed on top of the latter.
  • this base is about 4 cm across while the cylinder is about 5 (e.g. 5.5) cm high and about 2 to 3 cm in external diameter.
  • a fecal examining device comprising cup means for receiving and transporting a sample of feces to be examined, and a tube, open at both its ends, constructed and arranged to be tightly fitted to said cup means so that when so fitted the cup means closes one end of said tube and serves as a .base for said tube whereby liquid diluent can then be poured into the other end of the tube to mix with the feces and be retained in the tube by the presence of said cup means, said cup means having a cover for positioning thereon to provide a closed container for transporting said feces samples, said container having a paddle or scoop detachably connected thereto by a frangible connection whereby said paddle or scoop can be broken away from said container for use in taking up a feces sample and placing it in said cup means.
  • a fecal examining device for the detection of ova in feces comprising a tube open at both ends, one of said ends being adapted to be fitted to a base carrying a sample of feces whereby to form with said base an upstanding container, having said sample at the bottom, for receiving diluent liquid for admixture with said feces, the upper end of said tube being constructed and arranged to support a microscope slide horizontally thereon, and a strainer, of a size and shape to be slidable in said tube with its edges close to the inner walls of said tube, for retaining feces in the lower portion of said tube while permitting ova and diluent liquid to pass upwards through said strainer.
  • a device as in claim 14 in which said strainer has an upstanding rod for manipulation of said strainer, said rod being shorter than said tube whereby said strainer and rod can be manipulated downward to a position in which the top of the rod is below the top of the tube thereby permitting the placement of said microscope slide atop said tube.
