Abstract

The packaging comprises a container and a support (1) for test tubes (9). The support consists of a block of flexible material taking the shape of a parallelepiped comprises a series of housings (8) of corresponding shape to that of the test tubes. The support has openings (10) emerging on one face (7), the width of the openings being less than the section of the housings.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un emballageThe present invention relates to a packaging

pour le transport de substances infectieuses.  for the transport of infectious substances.

L'invention vise un emballage comprenant, d'une 5 part, un conteneur tel qu'un sachet ou une boîte et, d'autre part, un support destiné à être logé dans le conteneur et destiné à recevoir des éprouvettes contenant  The invention relates to a packaging comprising, on the one hand, a container such as a sachet or a box and, on the other hand, a support intended to be housed in the container and intended to receive test tubes containing

les prélèvements.withdrawals.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de réaliser un support facile à garnir d'éprouvettes permettant de parfaitement protéger celles-ci et également de vérifier l'état  One of the aims of the invention is to provide a support which is easy to fill with test pieces which makes it possible to perfectly protect them and also to check the state

des éprouvettes après transport.test pieces after transport.

Le support, selon l'invention, est constitué par  The support, according to the invention, consists of

un bloc de matière souple et élastique affectant une forme générale parallélépipédique comportant une série de logements dont la forme correspond à celle des éprouvettes et présentant des ouvertures débouchant sur une face, la lar20 geur des ouvertures étant inférieure à la section des logements.  a block of flexible and elastic material affecting a generally parallelepiped shape comprising a series of housings whose shape corresponds to that of the test pieces and having openings opening onto one face, the width of the openings being less than the section of the housings.

Ainsi, le support étant posé à plat, on peut aisément insérer dans les logements les éprouvettes contenant 25 les prélèvements.  Thus, the support being laid flat, it is easy to insert the test tubes containing the samples into the housings.

De préférence, le support est réalisé en une matière plastique cellulaire à cellules ouvertes imprégnée d'une substance apte à modifier sa couleur en cas de fuites 30 des éprouvettes.  Preferably, the support is made of an open cell cellular plastic material impregnated with a substance capable of modifying its color in the event of leakage of the test pieces.

Ainsi, on peut parfaitement vérifier l'état des éprouvettes. Le conteneur peut être un sachet transparent pouvant être fermé d'une manière étanche ce qui permet, avant ouverture, de vérifier que les éprouvettes sont en bon état.  Thus, one can perfectly check the condition of the test pieces. The container can be a transparent bag which can be closed in a leaktight manner which allows, before opening, to verify that the test pieces are in good condition.

Etant donné que le support est souple et élastique, celui-ci peut être roulé pour être logé dans un emballage cylindrique.  Since the support is flexible and elastic, it can be rolled up to be housed in a cylindrical package.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à des modes de réalisation particuliers donnés à titre d'exemple seulement et  The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to particular embodiments given by way of example only and

représentés au dessins annexés.shown in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 est une vue en perspective du support d'éprouvettes. Figure 2 montre le support avec les éprouvettes  Figure 1 is a perspective view of the specimen holder. Figure 2 shows the support with the test pieces

logées dans un emballage.housed in a package.

Figure 3 est une vue en perspective éclatée montrant une variante de réalisation.  Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing an alternative embodiment.

A la figure 1, on a représenté un support 1 25 réalisé en une matière souple et élastique, par exemple en  In Figure 1, there is shown a support 1 25 made of a flexible and elastic material, for example in

une matière plastique cellulaire à cellules ouvertes.  a cellular plastic with open cells.

Le support présente une forme générale parallélépipédique avec une embase 2, deux parois latérales longitu30 dinales 3 et 4, deux parois d'extrémités 5 et 6 et une paroi supérieure 7.  The support has a generally parallelepiped shape with a base 2, two side walls longitu30 dinales 3 and 4, two end walls 5 and 6 and an upper wall 7.

Parallèlement aux parois d'extrémités, dans la paroi supérieure 7, sont pratiqués des logements 8.  Parallel to the end walls, in the upper wall 7, there are housings 8.

Chaque logement 8 a une section circulaire avec 5 une ouverture 10 débouchant sur la paroi supérieure et dont  Each housing 8 has a circular section with 5 an opening 10 opening onto the upper wall and of which

la largeur est inférieure au diamètre du logement 8.  the width is less than the diameter of the housing 8.

Chaque logement est destiné à recevoir une éprouvette 9 fermée par un bouchon 11. Les éprouvettes 9 ont un 10 diamètre correspondant à celui des logements et une longueur légèrement inférieure à celui desdits logements.  Each housing is intended to receive a test piece 9 closed by a plug 11. The test pieces 9 have a diameter corresponding to that of the housings and a length slightly less than that of said housings.

Le support 1 est imprégné d'une substance apte à  The support 1 is impregnated with a substance capable of

modifier sa couleur si l'une des éprouvettes est brisée ou 15 fuit.  change its color if one of the test pieces is broken or leaks.

Comme on le voit à la figure 2, le support 1 est  As seen in Figure 2, the support 1 is

destiné à être inséré dans un sachet 15 de préférence transparent et présentant une bande d'obturation 16 afin 20 d'assurer une fermeture étanche.  intended to be inserted into a bag 15 preferably transparent and having a closure strip 16 in order to ensure a tight closure.

Comme on le voit à la figure 3, le support 1 étant  As seen in Figure 3, the support 1 being

souple et élastique, une fois garni des éprouvettes 9, il peut être roulé pour être logé, par exemple, dans un 25 emballage rigide cylindrique fermé par un couvercle 18.  flexible and elastic, once filled with the test pieces 9, it can be rolled up to be housed, for example, in a rigid cylindrical package closed by a cover 18.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au  Of course, the invention is not limited to

mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté.  embodiment which has just been described and represented.

On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail 30 sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.  Numerous modifications of detail can be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention.
