    CONTAINER WITH WARRANTY SEAL


    FIELD OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is a container, of the type suitable for the collection of samples and for containing biological or other material, such as urine or other, food, medicines, cosmetics, etc., with the particularity that the container has been configured to optimize the guarantee and integrity of the content, obtaining at the same time a container of economic unit cost.
    BACKGROUND Containers for collecting samples for further analysis are widely used. Not only are said containers used in routine tasks of medical control of patients in order to analyze, for example, the content of their body fluids, but sometimes the collection of biological sample is aimed at legal or sports control, being necessary to ensure the integrity of the sample from its place of collection to the center that will carry out the analysis of the contents of the bottle.
    This type of container can be used for the collection of samples for analysis in which the samples can be of varied origin: food, cosmetics, medicines, etc., and be solid, liquid, semi-solid samples, etc.
    The industry must meet the requirements that the preservation of this varied type of samples requires, providing easy-to-use containers with reduced unit cost.
    One of the first requirements of this type of containers refers to the sterility of the container, initially obtained by a manufacturing process under aseptic conditions. Another usual requirement is what is known as the "first use guarantee", that is, that the container has not been previously used, with the danger that this would entail in the face of contamination of the sample to be deposited in the container.
    These types of guarantees are provided, for example, in one of the known solutions, presenting the sampling bottle inside a sterile wrapper, such as a plastic bag, which the user must break to use the collection bottle. samples.
    Another possible type of first use guarantee is typically provided by containers that are closed at the factory and in which some type of seal, an adhesive strip between lid and bottle, etc., must be broken in order to use the container.
    Another of the problems faced by the present invention refers to the guarantee of the integrity of the deposited sample, that it could not have been accidentally or intentionally altered, between the time of its collection and the moment of its analysis.
    For example, US4934547 provides a container for the collection of samples that among other features provides a means of closing the container that does not allow its opening without breaking its integrity. Lid and container incorporate a flange to overlap with a through hole to which a pressure pin will be tied, fixing lid and container. The pin is linked to the cover and has a conical tip that by deformation exceeds the section of the lid and container holes to engage in the closed position.
    The container cannot be opened without breaking the lid closure and previously configured container. It also incorporates teeth and ramps of self-locking lid and container in its closed position.
    US7731048 provides the closure of the lid of a plastic container by means of a sealing portion removably linking lid and container.
    Both solutions represent that once the container has been closed, its opening cannot occur unintentionally or not visibly by those who must take the sample or, if necessary, perform the biological analysis of the sample contained. They provide, therefore, a guarantee of the integrity of the contained sample that has not been altered between its collection and analysis, and, in the second case, a guarantee of first use of the container.
    This type of solution can be improved from several fronts by providing, as in the present invention, a container that is easier to manufacture and consequently of lower unit cost, providing both a guarantee of first use and, in another embodiment, a guarantee of sample integrity collected prior to analysis.
    The invention also solves the technical problem of preserving the contents of a container or container by presenting a guarantee of first use of its contents that is economical, easy to manufacture and that minimizes the waste of its use.
    These and other advantages of the present invention will be more apparent throughout the description that follows.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention develops a container, suitable for the collection of samples and to contain biological or other material, such as urine or other, food, medications, cosmetics, etc., and which provides a container of relative high capacity that incorporates closing means that cannot be overcome without breaking its integrity.
    The container of the invention is composed of a lid and a bottle which in the preferred embodiment shown in this description is a tubular body, a straight cone trunk, said lid having a perimeter skirt.
    Lid and bottle have antagonistic threads for mutual bonding, configured in the invention to open or close with a quarter turn and therefore being discontinuous grooves and projections that together enable said rapid opening and closing of a quarter turn.
    The cover has a cutting element in its perimeter as a protruding prismatic body, forming a tongue
    or busty with sharp leading edge. This tab, when the lid and the container are attached by closing the container of the invention, is inserted in a perimeter fit, to a retention device or strike, existing in the jar part of the container. This connection is such that it cannot be opened, by unscrewing the lid, and unlinking the lid and container without breaking the retention and guarantee device in the package.
    In its preferred mode of use, the container is presented to the public, closed. The container has been closed by automated means joining lid and bottle, closing it under pressure with a vertical downward movement that struts the tongue of the lid with the container retention device. This is possible because the thread of the lid of the container of the present invention has a reduced, segmented, quarter-turn filleting, the perimeter skirt being sufficiently short and flexible so that the approach movement of the lid to the bottle exceeds flexibility by Filleted lid and jar antagonists.
    On the other hand, once the container is closed, its opening requires the rupture of the body of the retention and safety device of the bottle. This device, which has been built with a wide outer surface to easily show its integrity, has several areas of weakness, so that when its integrity is broken, its opening is clearly visible.
    BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE DRAWINGS For a better understanding of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by two sheets of drawings, provided only by way of illustration and not limiting the invention.

    Figure 2 shows a perspective representation of a lid, face up, according to the embodiment of the preceding figure, facilitating the vision of the opening tab on the lid, as well as filleting by sectors thereof.
    Figure 3 shows in perspective a bottle or container according to the example of embodiment of Figure 1, in which the retention and guarantee device intact, prior to the assembly of the container, as well as the segment filleting, filleting antagonist respective cover.
    Figure 4 represents another perspective view of the cover according to the exemplary embodiment shown in the preceding graphs, this time a top view that shows perimeter the tongue or stud of the same arranged in its perimeter skirt.
    Figure 5 is an enlarged detail of the part of the retention device of Figure 3.
    Figure 6 is a cross-section of the retention and guarantee device of the previous figure, by its main area of rupture and in which its weakened part is appreciated to facilitate said rupture.
    Figure 7 is a cross section of the container of Figure 1, showing enlarged detail of the union of the container and lid by the area of the guarantee closure between the cutting tab and the retention and safety device. The different weakened areas of the device are appreciated to facilitate its rupture and make it visible when it occurs.
    DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The present invention consists of a container, of the type suitable for the collection of samples and for containing biological or other material, such as urine or other, food, medicines, cosmetics, etc., making a container of relatively high capacity, for example 100 ml, and that incorporates closing means that cannot be overcome without breaking its integrity.
    The container 1 of the invention is composed of a lid 2 and a bottle 3. In the preferred embodiment shown in the graphics accompanying the present description, the bottle is formed by a more or less cylindrical plastic body, a straight cone trunk , having in its part of the neck a fillet 6 'configured to cooperate with a filleting antagonist 6 existing in the cover 2.
    It is a segmented thread, discontinuous, without the need for a slide, with four threads or fillets, which has four entries that provide a 90º closure, allowing rapid opening and closing with a quarter turn. This constructive arrangement represents an easy machining, both in the final presentation of the product, and in the stages of manufacture of the container in which an easy extraction of the mold is allowed through a pressure plate, and where the negatives do not have to be released of the piece in the mold.
    As can be seen in Figure 3 and in greater detail, in the enlarged section of Figure 7, at least one retention and safety device 5 is arranged on the perimeter of the bottle. This device 5 provides a hollow interior space 7 in the to fit, locking, a tongue, tab or cutting pin 4 arranged in the cover 2. This device 5 is configured, in this preferred embodiment, showing a wide front surface, compared to the sides of the device, which joins the rest of the device for weakened areas 9. On the side corresponding to the direction of advance or opening of the bottle has a weakened area 9 'which facilitates the opening of the container.
    On the other hand, the cover 2 has at least one tongue 4, prismatic, and emerging from the perimeter skirt of the cover 2; said tongue 4 configured to be able to be inserted into the recess 7 of the interior of at least one retention and safety device 5. This tongue 4 has a prismatic projection with a sharp leading edge 8, this sharp advancing surface 8 facilitating the cutting of the device 5 due to its weakened area 9 ', when the container 1 is opened by unscrewing the lid 2. When the rupture of the device 5 occurs, this rupture is sufficiently visible because said device is broken by several zones thanks to the different weakened parts 9 and 9 'of said strike or device 5.
    In this way, it is clearly shown that the contents of the container have not been opened until the moment of said rupture of the retention device 5.
    Although the preferred embodiment shown in the graphics shows only a tongue 4 and a retention and safety device 5, the invention is capable of being realized, thanks to the vertical mounting of lid 2 against the bottle 3, with different combinations of the tongue assembly 4 and device 5.
    In its preferred mode of use, the container is presented closed, the lid 2 connected with the bottle 3. The particular feature of the invention facilitates this presentation because it is easier to mechanize the closing process of the container of the invention, with a vertical downward movement of the lid 2 that strips the tongue 4 of said lid 2 with the retention device 5 of the bottle 3, closing it by pressure, that the realization of a threaded closure that requires the rotation of one part on the other.
    This closing movement without threading is possible in the present invention and is facilitated because the thread 6 of the lid 2 of the container has a reduced filleting, segmented quarter turn, the perimeter skirt sufficiently short and flexible for the approach movement from lid 2 to flask 3, flexibly overcome the filleted antagonists 6 and 6 'of lid and flask.
    This preferred embodiment provides a container with a guarantee of first use, without any addition to the container of the invention. The container 1 is presented to the closed user, lid 2 and bottle 3 attached, so that in order to use the container 1 the retention and guarantee device 5 must be broken, forcing an opening movement between lid 2 and bottle 3, that is, rotating the lid 2 in relation to the bottle 3 and consequently breaking said device 5 by the action of the tongue 4.
    This mode of use represents several advantages over other sample collection vessels of the known technique in that they do not require a sterile bag, simplify elements and avoid residues in the use of the container. The rupture of the retention and safety device is also carried out without the open part of said device 5 being detached from the body of the bottle 3, also avoiding residues in the use of the container.
    Furthermore, in that preferred embodiment and if so desired, the container 1 can be presented inside a hermetic and hygienic bag to provide an additional guarantee of the perfect sterility and preservation of the container 1, prior to its use. The invention contemplates the possibility of incorporating, if deemed convenient, seal seals, according to the known technique.
    In another example of embodiment, the lid 2 and bottle 3 assembly can be presented separately and ready for use, even inserted in a bag or using individual bags for lid 2 and bottle 3, as a means to ensure the first-use biological preservation of the container . The user fills the container with the material and in a downward vertical movement of the lid, presses the container 1 of the invention under pressure. With this action, the integrity of the contents of the container is preserved until its opening occurs under controlled conditions of non-alteration or contamination of the content.
    In another preferred embodiment, there are a plurality of tabs 4, preferably two, which work in combination with a plurality of retention and safety devices 5, preferably two. This type of embodiment seeks to simultaneously provide a guarantee of first use of the container and a guarantee of preservation of the increased opening content by breaking more than one retention device 5.

    In an embodiment, two to two, of lugs or tabs 4 and 5, the separation between said tabs 4 may be different from the separation of said devices 5, in order to allow an alternative use of the tabs 4, to provide in one case the guarantee of first use and subsequently, using the second set, a guarantee of integrity of the sample.
    In another preferred embodiment not shown in the graphics, a single tongue 4 is arranged in the lid 2, while in the bottle 3 preferably two closing devices 5 are arranged. This arrangement simultaneously allows a guarantee of first use of the container and a guarantee of integrity of the contents of the container once it has been filled.
    The invention contemplates the possibility of using an individual, factory bagging, for example, in order to give greater confidence to the preservation of the sterility of the container 1 prior to its use, both of the closed lid set 2 and bottle 3, in the embodiments corresponding, as in other embodiments of each of the different elements of the container of the invention, lid 2 and bottle 3, individually.
    Similarly, the invention is capable of incorporating seal and / or warranty seals, in accordance with the known technique.
    In different preferred configurations of the invention, the container 1 is configured for the collection of samples, preferably biological, for later analysis; that is, it is airtight, sterile and delivered without any contaminant.
    The bottle of the invention is capable of being made in different sizes, from small bottles of 40 ml, relatively high capacity bottles, such as 100 ml, or any suitable size.
    The training material of the container 1 of the invention is PEHD (High Density Polyethylene), although any other material, preferably plastic, suitable for the storage of biological or other samples is possible and included within the invention.
    The invention contemplates and is conceived, in other preferred embodiments of the invention, not shown in the figures, to incorporate emptying needles. In this type of known configuration, a device is arranged in the container 1 that incorporates a needle so that once the urine is deposited inside, a vacuum tube is introduced, with negative pressure inside, inside the device, so that the urine is transferred from the bottle to the tube without having to open it.
    The preferred use of the invention is urine collection, although this is not a limitation of the inventive scope of the described container that can be used for the collection of any type of sample that requires a sterile container suitable for the container 1 is also suitable to be used with different types of material to contain, all within the scope of the invention. For example, solid, liquid, semi-solid materials, etc.
