CA 2273792

A closure (100) for sealing the open end of body fluid collection, transport or storage containers or tubes (20). The closure (100) includes a ball (70) and socket (50) arrangement, wherein the ball (70) rotates within the socket (50) to align a passageway (73) through the ball (70) within the opening in the tube (20). To close the closure, a tab or protrusion (71) extending from the ball (70) is pushed to rotate the ball and orient the passageway (73) perpendicular to the opening of the tube. When the closure is in the closed position, the ball (70) and socket (50) form a liquid tight seal to prevent liquid in the tube (20) from leaking out of the tube, evaporating or being contaminated.

Cette fermeture (100), destinée à sceller l'extrémité ouverte de contenants ou tubes (20) de stockage ou de transport servant à recueillir des liquides organiques, comprend un agencement de rotule (70) et de logement de rotule (50), dans lequel la rotule (70) tourne à l'intérieur du logement (50), afin d'aligner un passage (73) traversant la rotule (70) avec l'ouverture du tube (20). Pour fermer ce système, on pousse sur une languette ou élément saillant (71) s'étendant depuis la rotule (70), afin de faire tourner la rotule et orienter le passage (73) de façon perpendiculaire à l'ouverture du tube. Lorsque la fermeture est en position fermée, la rotule (70) et le logement de rotule (50) forment un scellement étanche aux liquides et destiné à empêcher le liquide, présent dans le tube (20), de fuir hors de celui-ci, de s'évaporer ou d'être contaminé.
