Definitions

  • This invention covers a universal plug which can be used to close various container diameters of sample containers such as those used in health care for collecting and handling human bloods and the like.
  • This plug is also adapted to use with an automated capping and decapping device to enable the automated processing of said containers.
  • Specimens can be sampled by removal of the existing closure allowing for free access by the technician. Good laboratory practices or regulations dictate that a new clean closure is used for recapping the specimen. Specimen containers may vary in diameter and require a selection of different closures for recapping.
  • a universal closure (or plug) can provide a quick and cost effective method of providing closure for specimen containers stored and processed within the laboratory. Consequently what is needed to further automate specimen handling is a decapper/recapper device and a compatible universal plug which can be processed by this machine. The requisite decapper/recapper device can be found in co-pending application USSN 60/001,379 filed 24 July 1995. This invention provides a universal plug. Summary of the Invention
  • This invention comprises a universal plug which can be used with any size sample container with a diameter of .4" to .58".
  • the universal plug assigns a set of rings to a specific range of diameters. There are three sets of rings located on each hollow post . Each ring set comprises a zone that will accommodate a subset of the full range of diameters.
  • Geometrical relationships between the outside diameter of the ring and the outside diameter of the post control the insertion force required and the seal between the closure and container to prevent spills on tipping.
  • Vertical separation between the rings and between each zone of rings provide stability for the plug in the container.
  • the length of the post determines the depth of insertion for each zone.
  • a ring may also provide tapered or chamfered leading edges for locating and ease of insertion.
  • the knurled cap provides easy grasp for manual or robotic or automatic removal of the plug.
  • the internal flat surface is used to aid in manual or robotic or automatic insertion of the plug.
  • a vent hole in the plug allows for pressure relief during insertion and controlled venting for temperature changes.
  • Material thickness balances manufacturing costs with strength required for insertion or sealing or gripping.
  • the overall design provides for easy removal or insertion, prevents damage to the container, allows for handling by humans or robots or automatic devices, prevents spills, limits dehydration or contamination of the sample.
  • Figure 1 shows a top view of the plug, looking down into the open core of the device.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view of the plug.
  • this universal plug is intended to allow it to fit securely into the containers or bottles which are currently used in drawing or processing medical specimens.
  • This design works particularly well on containers which have a smooth inner bore. It can be used on any type of container for drawing bloods currently available to the medical profession. These containers have internal diameters ranging in size from about 0.4 to about 0.58 inches.
  • One example is the ubiquitous pre- evacuated blood drawing containers that have a smooth inner bore and are closed with a soft rubber plug that can be penetrated by a needle.
  • Such containers are available commercially.
  • the most commonly available container is the "Vacutainer TM" marketed by Becton Dickinson. These containers, normally three sizes, are de-capped and the specimen sampled or processed by some means.
  • the container should be closed to prevent contamination from its surroundings or to prevent loss of sample if the container should be jostled or tipped over.
  • the original rubber plug could be reused, but this is seldom done.
  • Good laboratory practices or regulations or guidelines dictate discarding the plug when it is removed from the container. This helps to avoid cross contamination of samples should the wrong plug be placed in another container. It also reduces the risk of someone or something coming in contact with the plug and being contaminated by any residue it may carry.
  • This universal plug provides a means for closing such sample containers. It can be used in all currently available containers. Sample specimens are thus isolated and evaporation is reduced or prevented. It is not intended that samples be shipped with these plugs. That is because the plug was designed with a pressure release hole so air could escape as the plug is inserted into the container. Pressure generated from compressing the air in the container could require substantial effort to seat the plug or push the plug back out of the container. This could make it difficult to process containers rapidly and it might be possible that the pressure needed to seat an unvented plug would break the glass wall of a container.
  • the design of the plug is that of a multiple hollow stepped post.
  • Each post has multiple thin flexible rings, each with a smaller diameter than the previous one.
  • the largest diameter post has an additional thick ring used for gripping the plug by manual or robotic or automatic means.
  • the thin rings are inserted into the container to prevent spillage of the contents.
  • Multiple rings on each post are provided for stability of the inserted plug, better sealing, and ease of insertion.
  • the first post has the largest diameter. It is essentially round. The inner surface is smooth.
  • the top of the post has a thick outer ring attached by multiple gussets forming a web to support a knurled outer surface, thereby forming a cap.
  • the knurling allows for better griping by human or robotic or automatic means.
  • Below the knurled cap is a set of thin rings. These rings are inserted into the largest diameter container. The container is seated against the bottom surface of the knurled cap.
  • the second post has a medium size diameter. It is essentially round.
  • the inner surface is smooth.
  • a medium size set of rings are used to provide sealing of a container when inserted into medium sized containers.
  • the bottom of the post is has an internal cap giving this post a cup like appearance. This cap surface has a vent hole for releasing excess pressure.
  • the last ring of the previous largest diameter post provides a seat for the top of medium sized containers.
  • the third post has the smallest diameter. It is essentially round.
  • the inner surface is smooth.
  • a small size set of rings are used to provide sealing of a container when inserted into small sized containers.
  • the last ring of the set is smaller and has a chamfer for locating the plug into a small container.
  • the last ring of the previous medium size diameter post provides a seat for the top of small sized containers.
  • this plug is designed to fit any opening of any container where that internal diameter (ID) is between 0.4" to 0.58" and the neck forming the opening has essentially parallel walls. These measurements refer to the average Id of the of the neck opening.
  • the mouth of the neck curves in slightly just at the top most portion of the opening ; the term burnished is sometimes used to describe this type of rounding.
  • the top edge of the neck may flare out slightly like a funnel. If this funnel shape is too pronounced, it will probably result in the plug being less firmly seated and in the extreme case no seat will be attained. If the funnel is inverted in the neck the plug should seat readily and be retained.
  • two or more flexible annular rings are used to contact the inner surface of the neck. This provides a means for seating the plug and preventing loss of the contents if the container is tilted. As the plug is inserted into the container the rings will deflect upward and cling to the inside of the container effectively sealing it. A minimum of three seals is required to prevent spillage of the contents. One seal is provide by each ring and the last seal is provided by the last ring of the next larger diameter zone.
  • Another preferred characteristic of this plug is the low insertion force required to seat the plug.
  • the insertion force is controlled in several ways. One way is through geometrical relationships between the outside diameter of the ring and the outside diameter of the post. This is the depth of the ring. Preferred depth is 0.035 to 0.055.
  • a second means of affecting insertion force is through material selection. A plastic or rubber or composite material may be chosen.
  • a third means of affecting insertion force is through thickness of the fins. Thickness of the fins is chosen in conjunction with material selection and the requirements of a flexible device.
  • the plug can be solid, except for the vent hole; or one or more of the posts can be solid and the others made with a hollow core; or all can have a hollow core.
  • a hollow core structure is preferred. Hollow core plugs will have at least one solid bridge positioned in one or more posts so the plug will be sufficiently rigid to withstand insertion force.
  • a solid bridge with a vent hole can be positioned at the shoulder between the small and medium posts. If a post is constructed with a hollow core , the wall thickness can vary. Wall thickness may vary from 0.010" to 0.030".
  • the overall height of the plug can range from 0.3" to 1".
  • plugs should be about 0.5" long.
  • the height of a given post can vary independent of the other posts.
  • a preferred height is about 0.2" for medical specimen containers.
  • the overall height of the plug and the height each post can be varied to meet the requirements of the neck and the opening of a given container.
  • the annular rings will be made of a deformable material which can be the same as the posts or a more flexible material. Because injection molding is the most cost effective method to make these plugs, it is expected that the device will be of one material.
  • the rings will be relatively thin as needed to be flexible, but not so thin that they tear or have little or no structural integrity. Rings should be placed on the post so as not to contact other rings during insertion or under full deformation.
  • Venting is accomplished by making a small non-sealing hole which allows for pressure flow from internal to external and external to internal. This hole is sized to prevent medical samples from leaking or moisture from entering. It is approximately a 0.002" diameter hole.
  • Figure 1 is a top view of a hollow plug.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view through the center of the plug.
  • the three posts are signified as (1), (2), and (3).
  • the inner most post (3) is the smallest diameter ring and is sized to fit small diameter tubes.
  • the middle post (2) has is a medium size diameter ring and is sized to fit the middle range diameter of tubes.
  • the outer post (1) is sized to fit the largest size diameter tubes and incorporates the knurled (4) outer surface for gripping.
  • the outer post (1) in conjunction with the knurled (4) outer surface has a honeycomb appearance.
  • the ribs (5) of the honeycomb provide stability and strength to the plug during removal and insertion.
  • Post (3) has a top surface (6) comprising a cup like appearance as shown in Figure 2.
  • the top surface has a vent (7) for pressure release from the tube.
  • Post (1) has two rings (9) and (10). The bottom of the knurled ring (8) forms a seal on the top of the tube inserted on rings (9) and (10). Rings (9) and (10) are similar diameters.
  • Post (2) has two rings (11) and (12). The bottom of ring (10) forms a seal on the top of the tube inserted on rings (11) and (12). Rings (11) and (12) are similar diameters.
  • Post (3) has three rings (13), (14), and (15). The bottom of ring (12) forms a seal on the top of the tube inserted on rings (13), (14), and (15). Rings (13), (14) and (15) are similar diameters. Ring 15 has a chamfer (16) to provide easy insertion of the plug into a tube.
