TOWER FORMED BY OVERLAID TUBES WITH SPECIFIC CAVITIES FOR STORING PALLETS WITH SEMEN

Abstract

A dual-function tower, able to be taken to the canister of cryogenic cylinders for freezing semen, which includes two tubes each with an oblong hollow making up a cavity for easy withdrawal of the pallets. The tubes are assembled together by -turn threads, such as on the cover, which, due to their arrangement, do not cause external bulges adversely affecting the automation of the process and promote perfect alignment of the cavities upon assembly.

Claims

1. A tower for storing pallets with semen, comprising: a tower configured to accommodate, in a canister, cryogenic cylinders configured for freezing animal semen in pallets, the tower further comprising an overlay of two tubes, with one of closed bottoms or through-bottoms having orifices and slots, and distal open ends mounted by -turn threads that are located in a lowered section on the outer edge of a bottom end and on an inner edge of a top end; wherein the tower is configured to be closed by a cover with chestnut-shaped relief openings, equally endowed with -turn threads on a recessed outer edge; and on the top wall of the body of the tubes is a pronounced, oblong, hollow forming a cavity with an angulation and having a regular perimeter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0042] THE TOWER FORMED BY OVERLAID TUBES WITH SPECIFIC CAVITIES FOR STORING PALLETS WITH SEMEN, the object of this application for patent of invention refers to a dual-function tower (1), able to be taken to the canister (2) of cryogenic cylinders (3) to freeze the semen, which consists of two tubes (5, 6) each with an oblong hollow making up a cavity (16) for easy withdrawal of the pallets (4), these tubes (5, 6) can be assembled together by means of -turn threads (10, 11), such as on the cover (12), which due to their arrangement do not cause external bulges adversely affecting the automation of the process and promote perfect alignment of the cavities (16) when assembled.

[0043] More particularly, the invention consists of a tower (1) for accommodating in a canister (2) taken to cryogenic cylinders (3) to freeze the animal semen, which makes up two functions, that of packaging the pallets (4) safely and that of acting as support for said canister (2), which is formed by the overlay of two tubes (5, 6), manufactured of biodegradable polymer or not, with closed bottoms (7) or through bottoms by way of orifices (8) and slot (9) and the opposite ends open, which are manually mounted by means of -turn threads, located in a lowered section on the outer edge of the inner end (10), on the inner edge of the top end (11), such that when said tubes (5, 6) are overlaid, they do not cause any type of bulge adversely affecting the automation process. Therefore, with the mounting of the -turn screw of the inner edge of the top end (11) of the tube (6) with the -turn screw in a lowered section on the outer edge of the bottom end (10) of the tube (5), the tower (1) is obtained, which is closed by a cover (12) with relief openings (13), chestnut-shape, equally endowed with -turn thread on the recessed outer edge (14). The flat surface (15) of the cover (12), as well as the cylindrical body of the tubes (5, 6) are suitable areas for printing technical information on quantity, breed of the animal, date and tracking of the packaged product, among others. The -turn (10, 11) threads used in the tubes (5, 6) and on the cover (12) provide fast and simple assembly without compromising safety, and to unpack the tubes (5, 6) and the cover (12), it is sufficient to turn them in the counter-clockwise direction. On the top wall of the body of the tubes (5, 6) is a pronounced oblong hollow making up a cavity (16) with subtle angulation (17), having a regular perimeter providing easy withdrawal of the pallets (4) with the assistance of pincers, there being no need to unplug the tubes (5, 6), without prejudice to the matter of biosecurity, consequently guaranteeing the delivery of high quality products to the consumer. The -turn threads (10, 11) used in the tubes (5, 6) also promote perfect alignment of the overlaid cavities (16) upon final torque. The oblong hollow (16) also enables visualization of the pallets (4), as well as identification of the quantity thereof inside the tubes (5, 6).
