SEALING DEVICE FOR USE IN A CARTRIDGE FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

The present invention relates to a sealing device for closing an introduction aperture, the sealing device comprising a fixed support and a shutter mounted movably in translation relative to the support between an extended position and a final retracted position, wherein the sealing device is in a final retracted configuration and wherein the shutter closes introduction aperture. The device includes locking means for preventing any movement of the shutter when it is in the final retracted position. The sealing device further comprises an intermediate retracted configuration, wherein the shutter is at least partly retracted. The sealing device also comprises motion guiding means for guiding the movement of the shutter and designed so that the extension of the shutter is required to move the shutter from the intermediate retracted position to the final retracted position.

1. A sealing device for closing an introduction aperture, the sealing device comprising:
a fixed support and a shutter mounted movably in translation relative to the support between an extended position and a final retracted position,
wherein when the shutter is in said final retracted position the sealing device is in a final retracted configuration and the shutter closes said introduction aperture, locking means for preventing any movement of the shutter when it is in the final retracted position, wherein the shutter is at least partly retracted when the sealing device is in an intermediate retracted position, and motion guiding means for guiding the movement of the shutter, wherein the extension of the shutter is required to move the shutter from the intermediate retracted position to the final retracted position.
