Definitions
- Such tube-shaped sample containers usually have a so-called “false bottom” with conventional standard dimensions of length and diameter and are also referred to in the English language as “false bottom tube”.
- the smaller sample receiving container was inserted into a separate carrier tube in order to be able to form the usual standard dimensions of length and diameter overall with it.
- an additional additional sample container for extension is arranged thereon.
- Such a take-off assembly has become known from US Pat. No. 5,942,191 A and the EP 0 891 742 B1 based thereon.
- This comprises a first elongate tube which forms an axis.
- the first tube has an open end with an inner diameter "X” and a closed end portion with an outer diameter "Y".
- the outer diameter "Y" of the closed end portion is smaller than the inner diameter "X" of the open end.
- a receiving space for receiving a fluid sample is provided, which is accessible from the open end.
- a second elongated tube is provided which is substantially identical to the first tube.
- the closed end portion of the first tube is formed to mate with the open end of the second tube such that the first tube and the second tube are substantially axially aligned to form a single article.
- the two identically formed tubes are held together by means of a friction-based holding connection. Due to the similar design of both tubes could indeed be dispensed with an additional mold, but no safe and sufficient mutual support of the two tubes could be achieved together.
- Another solution for reducing the receiving space and an extension to a standard size is described in WO 2016/176703 AI.
- two brace extensions are integrally formed on the sample container for sample receiving, in its bottom-side and closed-end region.
- a sample container having a container wall, which container wall extends from a first open end to a second end, bounded by an outer surface and an inner surface and defining a longitudinal axis, and having a bottom, which bottom closes the second end of the container wall and together with the Container wall bounded a collection space, and wherein
- the container wall in the direction of the longitudinal axis comprises a first container wall portion and an adjoining second container wall portion, wherein the first container wall section has a hollow cylindrical shape with a first outer diameter dimension and is arranged starting from the open end, and wherein the second container wall section at least in sections has a smaller second diameter dimension with respect to the first outer diameter dimension of the first container wall section,
- the sample container with its spaced from the first open end in the direction of the longitudinal axis arranged second container wall portion at least partially protrudes into the first open end of the extension element, wherein
- the at least one first coupling element on the sample container and the at least one second coupling element is arranged or formed on the extension element, and wherein located in coupling first and second coupling elements, the extension element by means of a snap connection formed by the coupling elements form fit with the sample container to the removal assembly is coupled.
- both the sample container and the extension each made in a separate cavity and each be designed in an optimal component geometry.
- the respective cavities can be arranged either in their own injection molds or else in a common injection mold. It would also be possible to use a rotary cube tool.
- the assembly to the acceptance assembly could also be automated in particular.
- the coupling device By means of the coupling device, the sample container and the extension element can then be coupled together to form a matching structural unit, which reliably prevents one another from unintentionally releasing each other as a result of the mutual positive-locking support.
- Another embodiment is characterized in that the at least one first coupling element is arranged in a transition section between the first container wall section and the second container wall section of the container wall. This creates the opportunity to be able to form the sample container and the extension element with an approximately equal outside dimension to each other so as to be able to form in the coupled state of the sample container with the extension element a consistently same, in particular rectilinear outer surface.
- Another possible embodiment has the features that the at least one first coupling element is arranged with a predominant share in the second container wall section.

- the at least one first coupling element is formed as a circumferential first groove and the subsequent thereto in the direction of the bottom of the sample container wall portion of the side wall of the sample container. This can be dispensed with an additional material accumulation to form the coupling element. In addition, but also the joining effort can be reduced, since a prior mutual orientation is necessary and perform only in axial alignment with each other.
- support elements are designed as webs, which webs have a particular parallel longitudinal extent with respect to the longitudinal axis. This allows an even better guidance and axial stabilization of sample container and extension element to each other can be achieved.
- a further embodiment provides that the side wall of the extension element is formed in the manner of a hollow cylinder, in particular continuously and rectilinearly between the first open end and the second end. Due to the consistently rectilinear design of the side wall as a simple and inexpensive to produce extension element can be created. Furthermore, the attachment of at least one label to the outer surface of the sample container and extension element can also be facilitated and improved. In particular, when viewed in axial section, a rectilinear transition between the outer surfaces of sample container and extension element is formed.
- the at least one second coupling element is formed by a wall section of the side wall of the extension element and by at least one second recess recessed in an inner surface of the side wall.
- the at least one second coupling element is formed by a wall section of the side wall of the extension element and by a second groove running in the inner surface of the side wall as a circumference.

- the preset slight pressure difference for determining the aspiration volume of 1 ml may change within certain limits under changing environmental conditions, such as temperature and air pressure, and lead to a deviating intake volume during the decrease. Due to the reduced in this sampling assembly 1 maximum receiving volume of the receiving space or plenum can be increased evacuated version of the pressure difference with respect to the ambient pressure in turn.
