Abstract
The invention relates to laboratory shakers for shaking laboratory samples stored in sample vessels in a chamber which comprises an pull-out mechanism which is extendable through a chamber opening for extending a sample platform storing the sample vessels in the extension direction A, which is shakable in a retracted position P1 and which preferably comprises a securing mechanism for securing the position P1, with a pivotable handle which is locked in a secured position S1 and whose unlocking and a pivoting movement beginning in the pull-out direction A releases the securing effected by the securing mechanism.
Claims21
A laboratory shaker for shaking samples stored in sample vessels, comprising:
- a temperature-adjustable chamber with a closable chamber opening,
- a carrier device for carrying a sample platform on which the sample vessels is placeable,
- a pull-out mechanism for pulling out the carrier device, which is arranged completely in the chamber in a first position, which passes through the chamber opening along a pull-out direction during manual pull-out and which is arranged outside the chamber in a second position,
- a shaking device for shaking the samples,
- a securing mechanism for securing and releasing the first position, with a locking device and a handle, which is fastened to the carrier device and is movable between a first handle position, in which the locking device is locked, and a second handle position, in which the locking device is unlocked,
- wherein a displacement of the first handle position is blockable by the locking device and the locking device comprises a manually operable actuating element arranged on the handle, by the actuation of which the locking device is unlockable in the first handle position, such that the handle is movable into the second handle position,
- and wherein the securing mechanism is unlockable by simultaneously actuating the actuating element and pulling the handle in the pull-out direction.

The laboratory shaker for shaking samples stored in sample vessels, comprising:
- a temperature-adjustable chamber with a chamber opening,
- a carrier device for carrying a sample platform,
- the sample platform for carrying sample vessels, which is arranged on the carrier device,
- a pull-out mechanism fixed in the chamber for the pull-out of the carrier device, which in a first position is arranged completely in the chamber, which during manual pull-out passes through the chamber opening along a pull-out direction and which in a second position is arranged outside the chamber,
- wherein the pull-out mechanism comprises a base and at least one pull-out element which is arranged movably along the pull-out direction on the base, and wherein the carrier device is fastened to the at least one pull-out element, which in particular forms a component of a rail system of the pull-out mechanism, and which comprises at least one positioning element by means of which the sample platform can be positioned on the carrier device,
- a shaking device for moving the pull-out mechanism and the carrier device in the first position,
- wherein the laboratory shaker comprises a securing mechanism for securing the first position of the carrier device and the securing mechanism includes a handle which is fastened to the carrier device, which is movable between a first handle position and a second handle position and which comprises at least one retaining section, in particular a first bearing section, and wherein the securing mechanism comprises at least one first stopper section, in particular abutment section, which is firmly connected to the base,
- wherein the carrier device is secured in the first position of the carrier device and in the first gripping position of the handle by positioning the sample platform on the at least one positioning element and holding it between the at least one retaining section of the handle and the at least one first stopper section of the base.
