  • containers of the most varied types are used at the present, such as bottles which have already been used otherwise and then washed in the way that has been deemed the best.
  • This collection method gives rise to shortcomings of a various nature, in the first place as regards cleanliness, which, as accurate as it may have been, leaves traces of foreign bodies which could alter the analysis results.
  • Another defect is that of being compelled to transfuse the content of the bottles partly into a test tube for the microscopical analysis, partly into another container for the macroscopical analysis, and such a transfusion is not always convenient, due both to the narrow neck of the collection bottle and the waste of time involved in the transfusion.
  • An object of the present invention is to supply the user with a container which is most adapted to the collection and which does not compel the analyst to effect transfusions in order to avoid the shortcomings which have been set forth hereinabove.
  • the container the subject of the invention, is characterized, in that it comprises a broad-necked container, in whose interior there is provided a housing for temporarily holding a removable test tube, with said housing being so formed and positioned that the test tube mouth lies in the interior and substantially slightly beneath the container mouth so as to facilitate the simultaneous filling of both the container and the test tube.
  • said broadnecked container consists of a beaker made of an appropriate plastic material, along whose inner vertical wall there is formed by molding a space which tapers slightly downwards and is intended to receive and hold a test-tube slipped thereinto from above and having such a height that the test-tube mouth is disposed slightly below the beaker mouth.
  • the container which is usually fitted with a lid hav' ing a curled edge for being snap closed, can be properly cleaned, sterilized and stored in a suitable completely closed transparent wrapper.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial cross-sectional view of the container according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1 with the lid removed
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. I, the view looking in the direction of the arrows.
  • the container illustrated herein comprises a beaker l of plastic material and having the form of an upwardly tapering body, along the inner sidewall thereof is formed by molding, a chamber having a circular cross-section and with a slightly conical outline 2, with the chamber serving to house and hold by gently pressing the same, a plastic or glass-test-tube 3.
  • An edge 4 of the chamber 2 is located slightly beneath the test tube mouth to facilitate the gripping thereof by means of tongs and the withdrawal of the test-tube from the chamber.
  • the container 1 is closed by a lid 5, also of a plastic material, and which is provided with a curled edge for snapping closure of conventional type.
  • a bottom 6 of the test-tube housing chamber can be quite thin and thus easily and resiliently deformable so that a thrust impressed thereon can encourage the lifting and thus the removal of the test-tube from above.
  • a container for collecting urine for urinalysis comprising a hollow container having a bottom closed end, a side wall and a mouth end opposite the closed end, the interior of the body being provided with means constituting a chamber therein, said chamber extending from the bottom end of the container'towards the mouth end and having an open upper end spaced inwardly of the mouth end of the container, and an openended test tube temporarily received and held in said chamber, the open end of the test tube being above the upper end of the chamber and inwardly of the mouth end of the container, thereby facicitating the simultaneous filling of both the test tube and the interior of the container.
