Description
Feb. 14, 1961 T. J. cARsKl PETRI DISH Filed June 16. 1958 1li 2 m c ,m l MULTI* BY j ATTORNEYS United States Patent O PETRI DISH Theodore J. Carski, Baltimore, Md., assigner to Baltimore Biological Laboratory, Inc., Baltimore, Md., a corporation of Maryland Filed June 16, 1958, Ser. No. 742,357 2 Claims. (Cl. 195-139) This invention relates to a structurally and functionally improved Petri dish.
By means of the present teachings an assembly is furnished in which evaporation is prevented. Also, it may be transported without disturbing the seal established by its components or the material contained within the dish.
The parts of the dish assembly, when applied one to the other, will assure the establishment of an adequate seal. The dish may accommodate constant-humidity preparations or material which will absorb gases. Reactive agents useful in this connection may be maintained in segregated condition until the user, by suitable manipulation of the assembly, intermixes those agents.
A Petri dish assembly as herein disclosed may wfth propriety be disposed of after a single use. The parts thereof can be readily and economically manufactured; the dish being capable of proper use even by persons having in effect no mechanical aptitude.
With these and other objects in mind, reference is had v to the attached sheet of drawings illustrating one practical embodiment of the invention and in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the components providing the Petri dish assembly and illustrating them in separation condition;
Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of the complete assembly;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view in enlarged scale of a detail of the parts as illustrated in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the cover unit;
Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the dish or receptacle unit;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along the line 6 6 in the direction of the arrows as indicated in Fig. 7; and
Fig. 7 is a sectional and elevational view taken along the line 7-7 in the direction of the arrows as indicated in Fig 6 Referring primarily to Figs. l, 3 and 4 and with particular reference to the cover unit of the assembly, it will be seen that its body 10 includes a preferably dat section from the edge of which a skirt or liauge 11 depends. The edge of this flange, as indicated at 12, is preferably inclined in an outwardly and downwardly extending direction. The inner surface of the cover adjacent the zone of juncture of skirt 11 and body 10 is thickened to embody therein maximum rigidity. The surface of this Zone, as indicated at 15, provides an upwardly and inwardly extending guiding face. A groove 13 is furnished adjacent the inner edge of face 15 and extends throughout the entire circumference of the cover. Preferably this groove furnishes, at points spaced 120 apart, recesses 14.
The body of the dish includes a base 16 formed with a first annular wall 17 at a point spaced from its side edge. A second wall 18 is provided preferably in line with lthat edge. The face of base 16 may be furnished 2,971,892 Patented Feb. 14, 1961 with indicia 19 of any desired character providing counting chart or grid markings in accordance with conventional techniques. Both the cover and the base of the assembly are conveniently formed of polystyrene, and the indicia may be applied thereto by screen marking.
As illustrated especially in Figs. 2 and 3, wall 17 is conveniently tapered and terminates in a rounded edge portion 19" having a radius substantially equal to that of groove 13. Wall 18 may be of constant thickness and terminates in an edge mating with edge 12. The parts are so proportioned in height that when the edges of ange or skirt 11 and wall 18 are in engagement, the rounded edge portion 19 of wall 17 bears against the base of groove 13. Preferably the outer faces of the skirt 11 and wall 18 are at and in line, so that a pressure-sealing tape 20 may be applied thereto, as indicated in dot-and-dash lines, to prevent accidental separation of the cover from the base of the dish.
Extending upwardly from the edge 19' of wall 17 are projections 21. These are spaced 120 apart and are of an area such that they may be received within the recesses or depressions 14 in the base of the cover groove 13. intervening walls 17 and 18 is a trough portion 22. This trough portion is subdivided by ribs 23 extending upwardly from its base, conveniently at diametrically opposite points, as illustrated. The height of these ribs may conveniently be less than the depth of the trough portion 22.
With a Petri dish assembly of this type it will be understood Ithat a disposable structure is provided. The parts should be designed so that they will remain rigid, with no distortion of shape, in a temperature range between the high and low points encountered in techniques in volving their use. After manufacture of the parts, `they will be sterilized and may be lled with culture medium and sealed with tape, as indicated at 20, or in any other suitable manner. Of course, prior to such sealing, the edge portfons of either or both of walls 17 and 18 will have applied to them a light coating of a material such as Vaseline. Therefore, with the cover applied to the bottom, an adequate seal is furnished to prevent evaporation.
Obviously, the dish assembly may be incubated employing this or a similar seal. Also, an air lock is thus provided between walls 17 and 18. Thus, all air currents are prevented from moving inwardly or outwardly of this space. Also, foreign material such as dust will not enter if the assembly is incubated in an inverted position. In the application of the cover to the bottom plate, the parts will be self-centered. This will be due to the guiding surface 15 cooperating with the rounded upper edge 19 of wall 17. Moreover, the adjacent edge surfaces of ange 11 and wall 18 will cooperate as the parts are applied to each other.
The trough 22 may be used to accommodate constanthumidity preparations. These would involve, for example, sulfuric acid solutions of selected density resulting in the following factors:
Density l.50=7().4% relative humidity Density 1.50=18.8% relative humidity Likewise, various salts may be used to produce an atmosphere of constant humidity, including calcium chloride and ammonium chloride. Functionally equivalent substances and agents could likewise be employed.
In the event it is desired to absorb gases, the well or trough portion may be employed to remove oxygen from the entrapped air by means of pyrogallo and sodium hydroxide. To effectively obtain this result, the dividing Walls or ribs 23 should-as shown-be of less height than the depth of the trough or well. This will permit separation of the active agents, which are mixed subse` quently to the application of the cover to the bottom plate, and with the Vaseline or equivalent seal applied only to the adjacent opposed surfaces of ange 11 and Wall 18. Likewise, carbonates and acids could b e disposed in the segregated areas of the well or trough portiony and subsequently mixed, to produce suitable concentrations of carbon dioxide to promote the growth of certain microorganisms.
Thus, among others, the several objects of the invention as specifically aforenofted are achieved. Obviously, numerous changes in construction and rearrangements of the parts might be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.
