Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device, which is able to maintain a container transported in a casing permanently in the same, desired position, even if the casing is handled whatever way.
  • the smaller sphere is equipped with the three steering devices ' - which are placed relatively close to each other.
  • the described embodiment shows a number of drawbacks, e.g. the spherical shape of the outer casing is not suitable for handling the entire device.
  • the steering devices may not stay in touch with the surface of the inner wall when a very rapid movement occurs during handling and so it may leave a stable position and even the two spheres can hit into each other. It is also not clear how the closing of the smaller sphere is solved so as not to cause any problems 1 during its movement within the casing.
  • Object of the present invention is a device for maintaining a stable position of a container, containing a 'casing 1 having an inner spherical surface and a container carrier equipped with steering devices, wherein an outer shape of the casing is cubic; the container carrier is iii the form of a spherical cap and is equipped with six steering devices, which are sliding elements, preferably spherical sliding elements (rollers), placed at regular distances from each other on its circumference; and the bottom of the spherical cap of the container carrier is provided with a stabilizing weight. !
  • the size of the sliding element is usually 3 to 5 % of the radius of the inner spherical surface. .
  • the space between the outer cubic surface and the inner spherical surface can be preferably filled with, for example, polyurethane mounting foam and/or polystyrene segments in order to increase the mechanical strength and resilience.
  • the shape of the spherical cap facilitates the access to and the fixing of the container; there is no problem with closing the smaller sphere from the document JP 2005- 138896.
  • Using six sliding elements placed as . apart as possible, i.e. on the circumference of the spherical cap, increases the stability of the container carrier and minimizes the possibility of turning over during' ai rough handling of the casing.
  • the stabilizing weight further ensures a maximum eccentricity of the container carrier- container gravity system, which enables a fast and reliable reaction to changes of the outer casing position.
  • the cubic shape of the ' outer casing facilitates handling, holding and storage o ' the casing.
  • the preferred embodiment provides dimensions of the carrier, which further enhance and ensure its stability and speed of reaction to the handling of the casing, because they allow accurate copying of the shape of the outer sphere ! and' large spacing of the sliding elements.
  • the casing is demountable divided into two halves, preferably horizontally, which enables the insertion of the ⁇ container carrier a'hd' of the container.
  • the container is fixed to the container carrier.
  • the inner content remains in a stable, predetermined position.
  • Fig. 1 represents the outer cubic and the inner spherical surface of the transport casing.
  • Fig. 2 represents views of the device construction ; with an inserted container, A - top view, B - side view.
  • Fig. 1 shows the outer cubic surface i and the inner spherical surface 2 of the transport casing.
  • the device construction is shown on Fig. 2 in top view (A) and side view (B).
  • the inner spherical surface 2 is made of fibre glass and its inner surface is accurate and smooth.
  • the space between the spherical surface 2 and the cubic surface i is filled with 1 ;p0fyuf ethane mounting foam.
  • the carrier 3 in the shape of a spherical cap has six Alwayse® spherical sliding ⁇ elements 6 on the circumference.
  • the bottom of this spherical cap is equipped with- the stabilizing weight 5, increasing the eccentricity of the gravity system and contributing to the preservation of the stable position.
  • the container 4 is fixed to the ! carrier 3; the container is, in this case, a Dewar vessel of the professiondry shipper" type. In this arrangement, the container 4 is maintained in a vertical position and the described arrangement is suitable, for' example, for the transportation of hematopoietic tissue trarisplant grafts. " v , ; ! '
  • the carrier 3 together with the container 4 fixes ' /to it moves by means of the sliding elements 6 on the spherical surface 2, preventing the rotation or turning of the container 4 over.
  • the weight 5 increases the eccentricity of the gravity- system of the carrier 3 and the container 4.
  • the device according to the present invention can be used for the transportation of items sensitive to position changes and fragile items. This device enables to keep the items sensitive to position changes or fragile items stored in the container in a stable and predetermined position throughout the transportation or manipulation.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de maintenir en position stable un récipient (4). Ce dispositif comporte, d'une part un boîtier dont la surface externe est cubique (1) et dont la surface interne est sphérique (2), et d'autre part un support (3) qui destiné au récipient (4) et qui est pourvu de dispositifs d'orientation (6). Le support (3) du récipient (4) en forme de coiffe sphérique est équipé de six dispositifs d'orientation (6) qui sont des éléments coulissants. Enfin, le fond de la coiffe sphérique du support (3) du récipient (4) est pourvu d'une masse de stabilisation.
