Der innere Ringteil 45, durch dessen Öffnung 47 der Hals des Innenbehälters 25 ragt, liegt neben dem Hals auf dem Körper des Innenbehälters 25 auf, so dass dieser auch dann in seiner Lage gesichert ist, wenn der Deckel 5 vom Unterteil 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 abgenommen ist.In the in Fig. 11 shown use position of the retaining ring 41 is held in the region of the free edge of the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention, wherein the step 51 of the outer ring 43 of the retaining ring 41 is seated on a shoulder 53 in the region of the upper edge of the lower part 3. The inner ring member 45, through the opening 47 of the neck of the inner container 25 protrudes, lies next to the neck on the body of the inner container 25, so that this is also secured in its position when the lid 5 from the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention is removed.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des Halteringes 41, der z.B. aus gummielastischem Werkstoff besteht, ist es, dass er als zusätzliche Abdichtung dient, da der innere Ringteil 43 auf dem innenbehälter 25 aufliegt, was z.B. für den Fall, dass der Innenbehälter 25 einen onkologischen (= hochtoxischen) Wirkstoff enthält, ein zusätzliches Sicherheitskriterium darstellt.Another advantage of the retaining ring 41, e.g. is made of rubber-elastic material, it is that it serves as an additional seal, since the inner ring member 43 rests on the inner container 25, which is e.g. in the event that the inner container 25 contains an oncological (= highly toxic) active ingredient is an additional safety criterion.

Wenn ein Innenbehälter 25 zur Gänze zu entnehmen ist, kann der Haltering 41 einfach aus dem Unterteil 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 herausgenommen werden.When an inner container 25 is completely removed, the retaining ring 41 can be easily removed from the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention.

Auch beim Beschicken/Bestücken eines erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 mit einem Innenbehälter 25 wird so vorgegangen, dass zunächst der Innenbehälter 25 eingesetzt und dann der Haltering 41 angesetzt wird, wobei sein innerer Ringteil 47 am Körper des Innenbehälters 25 neben dem Hals desselben anliegt.Also when loading / equipping a protective container 1 according to the invention with an inner container 25, the procedure is such that first the inner container 25 is inserted and then the retaining ring 41 is attached, with its inner annular part 47 on the body of the inner container 25 next to the neck of the same.

Wie aus den Zeichnungen ersichtlich, ist die Konstruktion des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters einfach, so dass dieser auf einfache Weise im Spritzgussverfahren, beispielsweise aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff gefertigt werden kann, wobei lediglich zwei Teile, nämlich der Deckel 5 und der Unterteil 3 herzustellen sind, ohne dass weitere Teile mit diesen Teilen des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 verbunden werden müssen, zumal sowohl der Unterteil 3 als auch der Deckel 5 jeweils einstückig ausgebildet sein können.As can be seen from the drawings, the construction of the protective container according to the invention is simple, so that it can be manufactured in a simple manner by injection molding, for example of thermoplastic material, with only two parts, namely the cover 5 and the lower part 3 are to produce without further Parts with these parts of the protective container 1 according to the invention must be connected, especially since both the lower part 3 and the lid 5 may each be integrally formed.

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt beschrieben werden.In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be described as follows.

Ein Schutzbehälter 1 besteht aus einem Unterteil 3 und einem mit diesem verbindbaren Deckel 5. Um einen Innenbehälter 25 im Schutzbehälter 1 festzulegen, sind in dessen Unterteil 3 radiale Rippen 13 vorgesehen, die den unteren Bereich des Innenbehälters 25 sowohl in Achsrichtung als auch quer zur Richtung der Achse sichern. Der Sitz des Innenbehälters 25 im erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälter 1 wird vervollständigt durch Anliegen eines Vorsprunges 19 am Deckel 5 gegen das obere Ende, insbesondere einem dort vorgesehenen Verschluss 27, des Innenbehälters 25.To define an inner container 25 in the protective container 1, 3 radial ribs 13 are provided in the lower part thereof, which the lower portion of the inner container 25 both in the axial direction and transverse to the direction secure the axle. The seat of the inner container 25 in the protective container 1 according to the invention is completed by abutment of a projection 19 on the lid 5 against the upper end, in particular a closure 27 provided there, of the inner container 25th
