A pneumatic-tube container having a container cylinder and having a cover and a base, at least the cover can be moved from a closed position into an open position. The container cylinder contains an insert, which has at least one tubular channel extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container cylinder. At least one channel contains at least one clamping element, which projects laterally into the channel. The damping element can be moved out of the channel, wherein the movement out of the channel and into the same is coupled to the movement of the cover from the closed position into the open position and from the open position into the closed position, respectively. When the cover is open, and preferably also when the base is open, the sample tubes therefore fall out due to gravity when the pneumatic-tube container is held with the opening in the downward direction.
A pneumatic-tube container having a container cylinder and having a cover and a base at the two ends of the container cylinder, wherein at least the cover is movable from a dosed position to an open position, wherein the container cylinder accommodates an insert which, in order to receive sample tubes, has at least one tubular channel extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container cylinder, wherein at least one channel accommodates at least one damping element, which protrudes laterally into the channel, wherein the clamping element is movable out of the channel, and in that this movement out of the channel and into same is coupled to the movement of the cover from the closed position to the open position and from the open position to the closed position, respectively.
