  • the pneumatic tube carrier For the transport of water or moisture-sensitive products or potentially umweit- or health-endangering objects and liquids, such as blood products, the pneumatic tube carrier must be sealed waterproof, so that penetration or leakage of liquids in / out of the pneumatic tube carrier is reliably prevented , So must in particular a contamination of persons, pneumatic tube stations, driving tubes and objects by the pneumatic tube carrier contents must be excluded.
  • a pneumatic tube carrier which has a screw cap for watertight closing of the sleeve container.
  • a locking slide is arranged, which is displaceable between a release position and a locking position. In the release position of the locking slide, this projects radially outward beyond the nominal diameter of the pneumatic tube carrier, so that the pneumatic tube carrier can not be inserted into a pneumatic tube system.
  • the gate valve can only be pushed in its locked position when the canister container is closed, in which it locks the watertight screwed-in screw cap against unintentional unscrewing on the can container.
  • the pneumatic tube carrier has a complicated handling, which is particularly disadvantageous in time-critical transport tasks, such as in the medical sector.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a pneumatic tube carrier, which is waterproof sealed and which has improved handling while maintaining operating safety.
  • the can container can be moved in a particularly simple manner solely by transferring the actuating means into the closing position. be sealed waterproof.
  • the sealing body is pressed by the actuating means against the sleeve container, so that the opening of the sleeve container, in particular with an adjustable sealing pressure, is sealed.
  • the locking slide allows a secure locking of the actuating means in its closed position, so that an undesirable opening of the pneumatic tube carrier, for example, is reliably counteracted during transport in a pneumatic tube system. Since the sealing body is not determined by the gate valve directly on the can container, the pneumatic tube carrier can be easily opened even with temperature or pressure fluctuations within the can container. As a result, malfunctions of the pneumatic tube carrier can be minimized.
  • the pneumatic tube carrier is particularly suitable for time-critical transport tasks, such as in the transport of blood products or emergency sample material to be examined, such as in the medical field.
  • time-critical transport tasks such as in the transport of blood products or emergency sample material to be examined, such as in the medical field.
  • a watertight sealed pneumatic tube carrier can be easily distinguished visually from a non-watertight sealed pneumatic tube carrier. Due to the inventive fastening of the lid on the can container forms the pneumatic tube carrier a functional unit without losing parts. This results in a high degree of user-friendliness with low maintenance costs.
  • the lid can be in this case in its closed position, in which the lid completely covers the opening of the sleeve body, releasably lockable relative to the sleeve container.
  • a arranged on the pivot axis spring element may be provided to press the lid in the direction of the can container and thereby lock.

  • the actuating means is in the simplest case an eccentric lever.
  • the eccentric lever is preferably mounted on the lid, which protrudes in its open position over a side facing away from the opening of the sleeve container side of the lid.
  • the eccentric lever can be transferred in a simple manner by manual pressure on the eccentric lever in its closed position.
  • the eccentric lever does not protrude beyond the lid in the closed position.
  • the eccentric lever can close in the closed position, in particular flush with the lid.
  • the eccentric lever advantageously has a cam which can be guided against the sealing body.
  • a contact pressure required for a desired degree of tightness of the pneumatic tube carrier of the sealing body against the can container can be achieved.
  • this design allows a self-locking of the eccentric lever in the closed position.
  • the sealing body may in particular have at least one, preferably two or more, guide pins, which is axially guided in a recess of the lid. This can be counteracted in particular a tilting of the lid or an eccentric adjustment of the sealing body relative to the opening of the can container with the consequent risk of insufficiently tight closure of the opening.
  • the sealing function of the sealing body can be improved even further by the sealing body having an annular sealing element, preferably formed from an elastomer.

  • the actuating means can be actuated without the locking slide must be manually held in the release position.
  • the locking element can be inventively designed in particular as a detent rocker. As a result, the above-mentioned locking of the locking slide in locking as well as in unlocking position can be realized with only one locking element, which is advantageous from a manufacturing point of view.

  • the locking slide if it is designed to be spring-loaded, can be actuated by operating the actuating means alone.
