ABSTRACT:
A package is provided for containing and delivering to a physician, laboratory or hospital a glass slide fastened removably in position, spatula, tongue depressors, etc., for use in obtaining a specimen, and retaining it on the glass slide during transportation to the laboratory for analysis. The package comprises two side panels, joined by a narrow end wall, with end walls also at the remote ends of the panels, also edge walls, and side flaps. After the specimen has been deposited on the glass slide, the side flaps are severed, so they can be folded over independently of one another. The package can then be folded into a smaller one, more compact by about one-half the original length, for transportation or mailing to the laboratory. Features are provided for protection of the deposit on the glass slide from the opposed wall portions of the package.
In a modified form of the invention, the package is somewhat as described above, excepting that provisions are made for tearing away one of the side panels and two of the side flaps just prior to the final folding and mailing to the laboratory. The folded package then does not have so many thicknesses of paper stock, but sufficient when a plastic slide is used, or a bracing frame is used for the glass slide.
