Shielding container for transporting a receptacle containing a radioactive product

A shielded container (1), made at least partially of a radioprotective material for protection against ionising radiations, for transporting a vessel containing a radioactive product, for example a syringe for injecting a radioactive product into a patient, said container (1) comprising:

• a container body (2) comprising a container body bottom element (21), bordered by a container body front wall (22), a container body rear wall (23) and two container body end walls (24), delimiting together a packaging volume (V) and a container body opening (O),
• a container lid (3) comprising a lid top element (31) bordered by a lid front side (32), a lid rear side (33) and two lid end sides (34),
• said container lid (3) being rigidly attached to said container body (2) via a lid hinge axis (4) allowing it to move with respect to said container body (2) between:
• a closed position in which said container body (3) closes said container body opening (O), and
• an open position in which said container lid (3) clears said container body opening (O) to allow access to said packaging volume (V),
• wherein said shielded container (1) comprises a handle structure (5) designed to be gripped for carrying it, said handle structure (5) comprising a longitudinal grip member (51), extended by two side handle arms (52) rigidly attached to the container body end walls (24) via a handle hinge axis (6),
• said container (1) also comprising manoeuvring means (7, 522) for manoeuvring said container lid (3) between said open and closed positions,
• said manoeuvring means comprising at least one lug structure (7) rigidly attached to one lid end side (34), said lug structure (7) being able to move in a guiding slot (522) formed in the side arm (52) opposite said handle structure (5),
• said guiding slot (522) being so shaped to pivotally manoeuvre said container lid (3) about said lid hinge axis (4), through said lug structure (7), by pivotally manoeuvring said handle structure (5) about said handle hinge axis (6).
