Abstract

Abstract Indicator device to study the phenomena of blood coagulation, concentration and aggregation of blood platelets and the like including support means (14) bearing test tubes (13) equipped in a plurality of upright hollows (114) provided with very narrow crosswise through holes (214), conveyor means (15) and withdrawal means (17) for said support means (14) to and from an indicator station (11) provided with loading discharging means (16) and including means (27) generating light, photosensor means (28), stirring means (29) and thermostat heating means characterized by the fact that said indicator station (11) comprises a lengthwise lodgement (111) for said support means (14) bearing test tubes, whereby said lodgement (111) is equipped with a plurality of holes (226) to convey optical rays and said holes (226) correspond in number, position and advantageously also in diameter to the plurality of said crosswise holes (2147) provided in said support means (14) bearing test tubes positioned in an intermediate position in relation to said conveyor holes (226), and possibly comprising electronic means to coordinate and regulate the working of the conveyor means (15), withdrawal means (17), loading/ discharging means (16) and means (18) injecting reagents.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 165 words
1 - Indicator device to study the phenomena of blood coagulation, concentration and aggregation of blood latelets and the like including: support means (14) bearing test tubes (13) equipped in a plurality of upright hollows (114) provided with very narrow cross-wise through holes (214), conveyor means (15) and withdrawal means (17) for said support means (l4) to and from an indicator station (11) provided with loading discharging means (16) and including means (27) generating light, photosensor means (28), stirring means (29) and thermostat heating means characterized by the fact that said indicator station (11) comprises a lengthwise lodgement (111) for said support means (14) bearing tubes, whereby said lodgement (111) is equipped with a plurality of holes (226) to convey optical rays and said holes (226) correspond in number, position and advantageously also in diameter to the plurality of said cross- wise holes (214) provided in said support means (14) bearing test tubes positioned in an intermediate position in relation to said conveying holes (226).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 165 words
1 - Indicator device to study the phenomena of blood coagulation, concentration and aggregation of blood latelets and the like including: support means (14) bearing test tubes (13) equipped in a plurality of upright hollows (114) provided with very narrow cross-wise through holes (214), conveyor means (15) and withdrawal means (17) for said support means (l4) to and from an indicator station (11) provided with loading discharging means (16) and including means (27) generating light, photosensor means (28), stirring means (29) and thermostat heating means characterized by the fact that said indicator station (11) comprises a lengthwise lodgement (111) for said support means (14) bearing tubes, whereby said lodgement (111) is equipped with a plurality of holes (226) to convey optical rays and said holes (226) correspond in number, position and advantageously also in diameter to the plurality of said cross- wise holes (214) provided in said support means (14) bearing test tubes positioned in an intermediate position in relation to said conveying holes (226).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
2 - Device, as in Claim 1, characterized by the fact that the means (27) generating light are envisaged as being within substantially closed containing chamber (26) arranged on one side of said lodgement (111).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
3 - Device, as in claims 1 and 2, characterized by the fact that each containing chamber (26) is substantially spherical.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 53 words
4 - Device, as in Claim 1 and in one or another of the claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the photosensor means (28) are arranged in holes (228) provided on the other side of said lodgement (111) of the indicator station (11) and substantially coaxial with the holes (226) conveying light.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
5 - Device, as in claim 4, characterized by the fact that the position of the photosensor means (28) can be regulated along the axis of the holes (226)..
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 50 words
6 - Device, as in claim 1 and in one or another of the claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that it possibly comprises advantageously electronic means to coordinate and regulate the working of the conveyor means (15), with-. drawal means (17), loading/discharging means (16) and means. (18) injecting reagents.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 13 words
7 - Device substantially as described, shown and claimed for the purposes allowed.
