  • Patent number: 10272438
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for receiving and storing containers (12), in particular test tubes. The device has at least one support bar (22) with recesses (26), a front face (16) and a standing strip (20) arranged opposite the front face (16). One recess (26) in the support bar (22) is assigned to each container (12), the support bar being used as the first support. The standing strip (20) receives the base of the container (12) and axially secures the container (12). The invention is characterized in that a folding mechanism (40) is provided for at least two folding positions, which mechanism orients the device lying on a standing surface (14) into a first folding position at a first angle (?) to the standing surface (14) and a second folding position at a second angle (?) to the standing surface (14).

  • Patent number: 10202574
    Abstract: The invention relates to an incubator (10) for creating and maintaining a microclimate with controlled air humidity and temperature conditions. The incubator has a tray opening (12) for inserting trays (16) into an internal space which is bounded by walls (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d), as well as telescopic rails (20) having a first rail part (34) which can be connected to a side wall (14a, 14b) and a further second rail part (35) which can be connected to the tray (16). The invention is characterized in that the telescopic rails (20) are formed as components separately from the internal space of the incubator and from the trays (16), in that supports (22, 28) for the telescopic rails (20) are provided on the side walls (14), and in that the trays (16) can be detached from the telescopic rails (20) and the telescopic rails (20) can be detached from the supports (22, 28).
