  However, as described above, it is best to prepare the barium sulfate suspension by dissolving the powder for preparing the barium sulfate suspension in water before use. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the amount of water and inject it into the container just before the screening. Especially, it is a problem from the viewpoint of securing water and hygiene when using a gastric screening bus during the mass screening. There is.

  Furthermore, the prepared barium sulfate suspension cannot be used even if it is thawed when frozen in winter. Barium sulfate precipitated at the bottom tends to solidify, and in order to return to the suspension state, the higher the concentration, the longer the container must be shaken, which requires a lot of labor and time. Furthermore, in order to ensure storage stability and performance, a large amount of barium sulfate powder and additives must be used, resulting in a problem that the mouth feel becomes worse and the cost is increased.

  In the case of a two-component container for various beverages, for example, a product in which water and whiskey are sealed so as not to mix in one cup-shaped container, there is a possibility that the cup may be damaged or the sealed part may be broken due to external pressure. .

  In the case of hair dyes, it is common to use a mixture of two agents, but when mixing the two agents, there is a problem that the container may be inverted or spilled, resulting in contamination of the surrounding environment. There is.

  Moreover, in the double bag of the retort pouch, the temporary bag may be peeled off easily or reversely defective due to the double bag being subjected to external pressure during distribution. When a part peels easily, there exists a problem that another kind of content will mix in a double bag. Furthermore, in the conventional double bag for mixing, when different types of contents such as a solid and a liquid are mixed, there is a problem in that the temporary adhesion portion is liable to be peeled off and the contents cannot be sufficiently mixed.

  In addition, in the double bag of the type in which the bonded portion is broken by an external force, it is necessary to use a material that is easily broken for the bonded portion, and there is a problem that the suitability between the material and the stored material does not match. In addition, there are problems that the contents are limited and the versatility that can be used as a mixing container is narrow. Therefore, the present situation is that there is a need for a mixing container that does not cause separation failure of the bonded portion, is excellent in stability with the contained material, is versatile, and has good operability.

  Therefore, in view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention has excellent suitability and stability with materials to be mixed without causing a situation in which different materials are mixed in the container due to compression of external pressure before use and the like.

By operating the pull-out member, the partition film is reversed. The mixing container is constructed so that it can be taken out of the container body, the interior of the container body is divided into a plurality of chambers by a bag-like partition film, and a tear band is secured between the partition film and the inner peripheral wall of the container body In addition, by pulling out the extraction member fixed to the tear band from the opening of the container body to the outside, the tear band is torn by the operation of the pulling member, the partition wall film is inverted, and the container body is opened from the opening of the container body to the outside. By removing the barrier film Different materials in the vessel main body is filled into a plurality of chambers which are 隔成 provide mixing vessel so as to mix together.

  Furthermore, the container body is provided with a container body, an upper part of the container, and a lid member, and a plurality of chambers are separated from the container body by a bag-like partition film fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the container body via a tear band, and fixed to the tear band. A plurality of chambers separated in the container body by the partition wall film are filled by rupturing the rupture band by operating the extraction member led to the outside, inverting the partition film and taking it out of the container body. Provided is a mixing container in which materials are mixed together. And the partition film is composed of an opening formed in a hollow cylindrical shape and a flat tongue connected to the opening, and by forming an adhesive band on the outer peripheral surface of the opening of the partition film, The structure which joins the opening part of the partition film which reversed and took out out of the container main body, and the extraction member penetrate the partition film from the inside of the partition film, and provide the structure fixed to the rupture zone.

  According to the mixing container of the present invention, it is possible to select a container body that is resistant to external pressure by adopting a bag-like partition film that can be reversed and taken out of the container body, and a plurality of chambers can be selected. Since the partition film for separating the wall and the inner peripheral wall of the container main body are fixed by a tear band, the separation of the temporary adhesive portion and the separation failure do not occur as in the case of the conventional mixing container, and the drawer member is used at the time of use. Since it is only necessary to perform a simple operation of pulling up the container, the operability is excellent and the material to be stored is not limited, and the versatility can be expanded.

  Especially in the case where the powder for preparing a barium sulfate suspension is dissolved in water before use, such as a barium sulfate suspension, the amount of water is measured and injected into the container immediately before the screening and securing of the water during the round screening. Such a cumbersome operation is not required, and by storing the powder and water in an appropriate amount, it is possible to quickly manufacture an optimal quality product. Therefore, since it is not necessary to use a large amount of powder and additives, the mouth feel is good and the best patrol can be performed, and a favorable mixing container is obtained from the viewpoint of hygiene as well as operability.

  In addition, when applied to hair dyes, there is no risk of environmental contamination due to inversion of the container during mixing or spilling of the drug, and it is possible to mix quickly and optimally, resulting in drug unevenness. There is no.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, there is no situation that the material is mixed unexpectedly in the container due to external pressure or the like during transportation or storage before use, and the material to be mixed is stable until use. It is possible to provide a highly versatile mixing container that can be separated in a state and has an excellent operability when used and can obtain an appropriate mixture.
