Abstract
Abstract In a device for the storage and/or transport of materials, such as for example temperature-sensitive drugs or the like, an inner container is placed in an outer double walled container and is recessed to form chambers to receive said materials, the openings of which are each provided with an access opening by means of closing discs and the access opening in the upper closing disc is surrounded by a tubular support which acts in association with the stops of the lower closing disc in order to bring the access openings into line.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A device for the storage and/or carriage of materials, which device is formed from an outer, double-walled, jar-shaped, container having a protective cover and is enclosed by a housing having a screwable lid, wherein an inner container enclosed by the outer container is provided with chambers separated from one another which carry the material, the openings of said chambers being covered by means of superimposed closing discs at a distance from one another and provided with access openings.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
78 words
A device for the storage and/or carriage of materials, which device is formed from an outer, double-walled, jar-shaped, container having a protective cover and is enclosed by a housing having a screwable lid, wherein an inner container enclosed by the outer container is provided with chambers separated from one another which carry the material, the openings of said chambers being covered by means of superimposed closing discs at a distance from one another and provided with access openings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
A device as recited in claim 1, wherein the chambers projecting into the inner container are provided at the top with an outward horizontal flange which is supported on the upper edge of the outer container and the chamber opening of the upper flange edge is deeper set forming an annular space in which the closing discs are housed, the closing discs being held at a distance from one another in annular grooves forming an air space.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
A device as recited in claim 2, wherein the stops of the lower closing disc are formed from mouldings which partly surround the tubular support and are separated by a distance which corresponds to the distance between the chambers which are arranged in a circle and the lower front edge of the tubular support lies against the surface of the lower closing disc and forms a sealing surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as recited in claim 3, wherein the access opening in the upper closing disc is covered with a removable cover and the closing disc is provided on its upper surface with a grip for rotation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A device as recited in claim 4, wherein the chambers holding the material are provided on their inner walls with projections and catches and wherein a projection projecting into the inner container is placed beneath the base of each chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
A device as recited in claim 5, wherein the inner container has a filling hole in its base which can be sealed by a stopper, the inner container with chambers being constructed of plastics material and lying in an outer double walled container of glass which is surrounded by the housing having an upper unscrewable lid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device as recited in claim 6, wherein an additional closing disc with a means of engagement is provided above the closing disc, this means of engagement on the upper side of the closing disc working in association with the stops intended to engage all the closing discs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
A device as recited in claim 1, wherein a tubular portion which is provided with an elastic tongue to grip the top of the bottle at one end and a channel-shaped gripping member with a space to take a hypodermic syringe at its other end can be inserted into a clip preferably located in the lid of the container.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
77 words
A device as recited in claim 8, wherein the tubular member is provided with a collar with a diminishing diameter on the side facing the top of thebottle which grips the top of the bottle from behind, this collar being provided with slots which extend almost half the length of the wall of the tubular portion forming tongues, wherein the longitudinal axis of the receiving space forms an extension to the longitudinal axis of the tubular portion.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
43 words
A device as recited in claim 9, wherein the front end of the gripping member forms a stop surface for an outer edge of the screw cap of the hypodermic syringe and the gripping member is in the shape of a half shell.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
71 words
A device as recited in claim 10, wherein the tubular member forms a stop surface limiting the depth of penetration of the needle of the hypodermic syringe, the tubular portion is constructed as a supporting surface for the gripping member which is to be inserted into a clip of a carrying container, wherein the gripping member and the tubular member provided with tongues are made in one piece from plastics material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
53 words
A device as recited in claim 1, wherein an additional container is placed on the front upper side of the lid (closing cap), this container being held by a U-shaped handle on the lid, having a circular cylindrical shape and the U-limb of the handle extending parallel to a diameter of the lid.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
54 words
A device as recited in claim 12, wherein the two U-limbs of the handle are secured on the perimeter of the lid and run parallel to its cylindrical axis, the additional container being formed from a container bottom, a ccrresponding container lid and encircling walls at right angles thereto which can be clipped together.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
82 words
A device as recited in claim 13, wherein the container bottom and the container lid of the additional container each have a circular shape corresponding to the cross-section of the lid which is diminished by two recesses corresponding to the spatial dimensions of the U-limb of the handle and wherein the internal space of the additional container is divided up into several different compartments to receive objects by means of partition walls formed at right angles to the bottom of the container.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
45 words
A device as recited in claim 14, wherein the additional container is firmly held close fitted between the vertical limbs of the handle and/or catches, mouldings or the like which releasably hold the container inside the handle are made in the walls of the container.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
63 words
A device as recited in claim 15, wherein the bottom of the container having a stopper is formed in the shape of a separate convex disc which is provided at the edge with a shoulder at right angles thereto by which it engages the container wall, the front edge thereof being inserted and bonded by adhesive into a peripheral groove in the disc.
