DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes a rigid outer container body in which a mouth and neck 4 is erected from the upper end of a body 2 via a shoulder 3. An external thread is formed on the outer surface of the mouth and neck.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an inner container made of a synthetic resin having elasticity, and an outward flange 13 formed on the upper end of a peripheral wall portion 12 is engaged with the upper end surface of the mouth and neck of the outer container body and suspended in the outer container body. I have lowered it. The upper portion of the peripheral wall has an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the neck of the outer container body, and the upper portion is tightly fitted to the inner surface of the neck of the outer container body. In the peripheral wall portion below the fitting portion,
A buffer absorbing section 17 is provided. In the illustrated example, a bellows portion 14 that can be expanded and contracted mainly in the vertical direction is formed as the buffer absorbing portion, and a gap is appropriately formed between the inner container body bottom plate 15 and the outer container body bottom plate 5. The peripheral wall portion 12 is provided so that the bottom plate 15 hardly descends depending on the weight of the tablet when the tablet is stored in the inner container, and even when the container is dropped in the tablet storing state, the inner container body is provided. The bottom plate 15 is provided so that the tablet will not be damaged by the impact of the bottom plate 15 violently hitting the bottom plate 5 of the outer container body. A considerable gap is also provided between the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall portion 12 and the inner surface of the outer container body 2.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a cap having a peripheral wall 22 screwed to the outer surface of the mouth and neck of the outer container body. To form a cushioning material 25 for tablets. The stopper can be replaced with a cushioning material formed by rolling a plastic sheet into a block as is well known.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, an appropriate number of folds 16 are provided vertically on the peripheral wall portion 12 instead of the bellows portion of the peripheral wall portion of the inner container body in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, two large folds are formed in an intermediate portion of the peripheral wall portion 12 excluding the upper and lower portions, but a large number may be provided. The folds 16 are provided so as to be able to expand and contract mainly in the radial direction against the elasticity as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

The other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the description is omitted.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a third embodiment. In this embodiment, both the bellows portion and the fold portion described above are provided on the peripheral wall of the inner container body.
Although 14 is provided and the fold 16 is formed on the peripheral wall portion below the bellows, the bellows may be provided at the lower portion of the peripheral wall and the fold 16 may be formed above it. .

The other parts may be formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, as in the case of the second embodiment.

In addition to the illustrated example, as a shock absorbing portion formed on the inner peripheral body wall portion 12 and capable of expanding and contracting by elastic deformation, a net formed by inclining vertical and horizontal lines to form each mesh in a diamond shape. It is conceivable to form the peripheral wall portion 12 in a shape. In this case, each mesh naturally needs to be smaller than the tablet.

[0017]

According to the present invention, the tablet stored in the inner container 11 can be prevented from being damaged during transportation or the like by the shock absorbing portion. Can be prevented.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the tablet in the inner container can be protected even when the container is dropped in an upright state and a large impact is given to the bottom plate of the outer container. Even when a lateral impact is applied to the container body, a considerable impact is generated by the inner container body peripheral wall portion 12 by increasing the gap between the inner container body peripheral wall portion 12 and the outer container body body portion 2. Absorbs and protects stored tablets.

In the case of the third aspect, a lateral impact on the outer container body is mainly applied to the fold 16 and the gap between the outer container body 2 and the peripheral wall portion 12 of the inner container. It can be absorbed, and the impact on the outer container body bottom plate can be considerably absorbed by the gap provided between the two container body bottom plates.

According to the fourth aspect, it is possible to absorb the respective impacts on the outer container body bottom plate and the body portion 2 as in the case of the second and third aspects.
