Description

  The present invention relates to a two-component mixing container.

In an unused state, the two contents (hereinafter referred to as "first agent" and "second agent") are kept in a separated state, and at the first use, these first agent and second agent are A two-component mixing container that can be mixed by the user is known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
This type of two-component mixing container has a first container for storing the first agent and a second container for storing the second agent above the first container, and a seal member between the two containers. Is interposed, and the first container and the second container are connected by screws.
It is common for the first container to be a bottle and the second container to be a cap, and tightening the screws connecting them to bring them into close proximity causes the seal member between the containers to be broken. The second agent falls from the second container, and the first agent and the second agent are mixed in the first container.

In addition, the seal member is provided in both the upper part of the first container and the lower part of the second container and the single seal type (see Patent Document 1 above) in which the seal member is provided only in one container. A double seal type (see Patent Document 2) is known.
In the double seal type, the following has been proposed as a structure for breaking the double seal member by one operation (Patent Document 2).
That is, a protruding member is provided in the container of the first container (below the seal member) so as to face upward at the center of the upper opening, and a screw for connecting the first container and the second container is tightened. At that time, the outer peripheral edge of the lower mouth portion of the second container presses the outer periphery of the seal member of the first container all around, and the center portion is pressed against the protruding member.

When the sealing member of the first container is pierced by this, the sealing member of the second container that is in a state of being parallel to the surface (double overlapping state) while being close to the sealing member of the first container On the other hand, the projecting member is directly or indirectly pushed through the seal member of the first container after being broken at the center thereof, and the seal member of the second container is also broken. It is the structure.
JP 2003-226334 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1993-71136

In the single seal type, the contents (first agent or second agent) of the container not provided with the sealing member at the stage (manufacturing process) before connecting the second container and the first container Various problems have arisen to maintain the surface and freshness (oxidation, etc.).
However, when the double seal type (see Patent Document 2 above) is adopted, it is necessary to break both of these seal members continuously or at once due to the double seal members being in a plane parallel state close to each other. As a result, there is a problem that a large operating force is required. That is, the operation of tightening the screw connecting the first container and the second container is very hard and difficult.

In the case where the first container and the second container are manufactured with a small diameter, this difficulty of operation is further promoted. In some cases, the operation may not be possible for a woman, an elderly person, a child, or the like.
Moreover, even if both seal members could be broken, there was a problem in how they were broken. That is, if the tearing is small, there is an adverse effect on the fall of the second agent, and mixing of the two agents may become insufficient or impossible. On the other hand, if it is torn so that all or part of the seal member is torn off from the container side, it leads to a fatal defect that the seal member is mixed into the mixed two agents.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is excellent in operability for mixing two agents, and has been made so that there is no failure in an operation for mixing two agents (two-component mixing is possible reliably) The purpose is to provide a two-component mixing container.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
That is, in the two-component mixing container according to the present invention, the first container that stores the first agent, the second container that stores the second agent above the first container, and the upper and lower portions of these two containers are provided. It has a cutter member.
A drop opening is provided at the lower portion of the second container, and the drop opening is sealed with a seal to be broken. In addition, an input port portion is provided in the upper portion of the first container, and the input port portion is sealed with a seal to be broken.

On the other hand, the cutter member is provided with an upper seal breakage portion facing the drop opening portion of the second container and a lower seal breakage portion facing the entry opening portion of the first container. Moreover, the upper and lower through-holes which let a 2nd agent pass are provided between these upper and lower seal | sticker broken parts.
And in the state where the pushing by the upper seal breaking portion of the cutter member to the dropping port portion of the second container and the pushing by the lower seal breaking portion of the cutter member to the loading port portion of the first container occur, The first container is provided so as to be relatively accessible.
With such a configuration, the cutter member provided between the upper and lower sides of the first container and the second container includes the planned tear seal provided in the first container, and the planned seal provided in the second container. The seal is torn at the different sealed portions (upper seal broken portion and lower seal broken portion).

In other words, in the two-component mixing container according to the present invention, it is a double seal type in which both the first container and the second container are provided with the seal to be broken, but the double overlapping seal member is broken. Differently, each seal to be sealed can be easily and reliably broken. Therefore, the advantage that the operability for mixing the two agents is excellent and there is no failure in the operation for mixing the two agents can be obtained.
It is preferable that a cap body that can cover the cutter member and the second container together is provided on the upper part of the first container in a detachable state with respect to the first container.

By providing such a cap body, it is possible to hygienically protect the inner side (around the inlet portion of the first container, the seal to be sealed, the cutter member and the entire second container) covered with the cap body.
In particular, the second agent contained in the second container is in a state where a double cover is applied (meaning that it is also covered by the cap body in addition to the second container), so air, ultraviolet rays, etc. Can be reliably cut off, and also has an advantageous effect on heat retaining properties and heat shielding properties, so that it is suitable for quality stability.

If you remove the cap body and turn it over and remove the internal cutter member and the second container, the cap body itself can be used as a cup, and the contents of the mixed first container (mixed two agents) ) Can be conveniently used when taking out in small portions.
The cap body is detachable from the first container with a screwed structure, and the second container and the first container can be relatively approached by making the first container and the cap body relatively close to each other by screwing. It can be assumed that
In this case, the relative approach between the second container and the first container, that is, the operation of mixing the two agents by breaking the tear-seal seal of the first container and the seal-scheduled seal of the second container is further facilitated. . In addition, since the operation force at the time of screwing is applied to the cap body and the first container, the second container has strength considerations enough to withstand this operation force (thickness of outer wall, outer diameter, height, etc. The external dimensions) can be eliminated, and the cost can be reduced.

In addition to such a screwed structure, a slide structure may be employed.
It is preferable that a spacer member that holds the first container and the cap body so as not to be relatively close to each other is provided between the upper and lower sides of the first container and the cap body. In this case, it is preferable that the spacer member is connected to the first container or the cap body via a scheduled separation portion scheduled to be removed only once.
Such a spacer member has an effect as a so-called virgin seal, and can prevent unintentional breakage in distribution. Therefore, it is a merit for quality assurance and crime prevention.

The upper seal breakage part of the cutter member is an upper cutting blade that breaks the seal to be opened in the second container into an opening that is not less than a half circle and not more than a full circle when the first container and the second container are closest to each other. And an opening promoting portion that pushes and bends the sealed sealing tongue piece upward at a portion that is not yet broken by the upper cutting edge portion.
In addition, the lower seal breaking portion of the cutter member is a lower cutting blade that breaks the seal to be opened in the first container into an opening of a half circle or more and a full circle or less when the first container and the second container are brought closest to each other. It is preferable to have an opening promoting portion that pushes and bends the sealed sealing tongue piece downward at a portion that is unbroken by the lower cutting edge portion.

In this way, even after the first container and the second container are most closely approached, the seal of the second container and the seal of the first container will not be completely broken. . Therefore, a broken seal tongue piece is not mixed in the mixed two agents.
In addition, the opening promotion part provided in the upper seal breaking part of the cutter member and the opening promotion part provided in the lower seal breaking part allow the seal of the second container and the seal of the first container to be opened. Is surely and ruptured with a large opening, so that the second agent can be surely dropped from the second container. That is, in the first container, the first agent and the second agent are reliably mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio.

  In the two-component mixing container according to the present invention, the operability for mixing the two agents is excellent, and there is no failure in the operation for mixing the two agents (two-component mixing is possible reliably).

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 10 show a first embodiment of a two-component mixing container 1 according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the two-component mixing container 1 includes a first container 2 that stores the first agent, a second container 3 that stores the second agent above the first container 2, and And a cutter member 4 provided between the upper and lower sides of the containers 2 and 3.
A cap body 5 is detachably provided on the upper portion of the first container 2, and a spacer member 6 is provided between the upper and lower sides of the first container 2 and the cap body 5. The cap member 5 covers the cutter member 4 and the second container 3 together.

The first container 2 has a bottom 2a and a peripheral wall 2b that rises around the bottom 2a. The first container 2 has a container shape (bottom cylindrical shape in the illustrated example) with an open top. The part to be made is the inlet 10. A sealing seal 11 is attached to the charging port 10 so as to cover the entire opening, and the inside of the container is sealed.
The tear-scheduled seal 11 of the first container 2 is formed of a material that can maintain its sealing property in accordance with the characteristics of the first agent, such as an aluminum sheet, a resin sheet, or a resin-impregnated paper. Further, depending on the material of the to-be-sealed seal 11 and the first container 2, they are bonded by an appropriate bonding method such as an adhesive, ultrasonic bonding (welding), thermal welding or the like.

The second container 3 (see also FIG. 10) has a peripheral wall 3a that is slightly smaller in diameter and lower in height than the first container 2 and is closed in a state where the upper part (ceiling side) of the peripheral wall 3a is closed. The plate 3b is provided and is formed into a container shape (in the illustrated example, a short cylindrical shape with a ceiling), and the opening portion at the lower portion is a drop opening portion 13. A sealing seal 14 is attached to the drop opening 13 so as to cover the entire opening, and the inside of the container is sealed.
The seal 14 to be sealed of the second container 3 is formed of a material that can maintain its sealing property in accordance with the characteristics of the second agent, such as an aluminum sheet, a resin sheet, or a resin-impregnated paper. Moreover, according to the material of the seal 14 and the 2nd container 3, it adhere | attaches by appropriate adhesion methods, such as an adhesive agent, ultrasonic bonding (welding), and heat welding.

The cutter member 4 has an annular body 15 (a ring shape having a height in the vertical direction in the illustrated example) whose central portion penetrates up and down. An upper seal breaking portion 17 is provided toward the dropping port portion 13, and a lower seal breaking portion 18 is provided on the lower side of the annular body 15 toward the loading port portion 10 of the first container 2.
The portion of the annular body 15 penetrating vertically is dropped from the second container 3 when the seal 14 is broken in a state where the second container 3 is disposed above the cutter member 4. It acts as an upper and lower through-hole 19 for allowing the second agent to pass downward.

That is, the cutter member 4 having such an annular body 15 is in a state where the upper and lower portions of the upper seal breaking portion 17 and the lower seal breaking portion 18 are communicated by the upper and lower through holes 19. Can do.
The annular body 15 has an outer ring portion 21 and an inner ring portion 22, and has a shape in which lower ends between these wheels 21 and 22 are connected by a flange portion 23. The outer diameter of the outer ring portion 21 (outer diameter as the annular body 15: see FIGS. 1 to 7) is formed to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the inlet 10 in the first container 2, and the inner diameter of the outer ring portion 21 is the second. The outer diameter of the container 3 is the same (the dimension that allows the second container 3 to be fitted outside without backlash).

On the other hand, the outer diameter of the inner ring portion 22 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the charging port portion 10 in the first container 2 and the inner diameter of the dropping port portion 13 in the second container 3. .
In the first embodiment, the upper seal breaking portion 17 includes a triangular blade-shaped upper cutting edge portion 17a that protrudes as a single point with a protruding end as a tip, and the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 22 from the upper cutting edge portion 17a. The cutter blade portion 17b has a descending slope as it goes away to both sides along. The upper cutting edge portion 17a and the cutter blade portion 17b are both formed by the upper edge portion of the inner ring portion 22 itself.

On the other hand, the lower seal breaking portion 18 has a triangular cutting edge-shaped lower cutting edge portion 18a that protrudes singly with a protruding end as a pointed end, and a blade base portion 18b that extends the lower cutting edge portion 18a downward. As it was. Both the lower cutting edge portion 18 a and the blade base portion 18 b are formed so as to protrude from the lower surface of the flange portion 23.
Since such a cutter member 4 is provided between the upper and lower sides of the first container 2 and the second container 3, when the second container 3 and the first container 2 are brought relatively close to each other, the inlet of the first container 2 is provided. The lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4 is pushed into the portion 10, and the upper seal breaking portion 17 of the cutter member 4 is pushed into the dropping port portion 13 of the second container 3. Become.

As a result, the planned seal 11 of the first container 2 is broken at the lower seal broken part 18, and the planned seal 14 of the second container 3 is broken at the upper seal broken part 17.
In the first embodiment, the structure for relatively approaching the second container 3 and the first container 2 is as follows. That is, a male screw 25 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the charging port 10 of the first container 2, and a female screw 26 that is screwed to the male screw 25 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cap body 5.
The male screw 25 and the female screw 26 are smoothly screwed relative to each other and screwed up and down (moved up and down) smoothly by mutual screwing, and have a small rotation angle (for example, one rotation). The lead angle and the number of leads are determined so that sufficient screwing and screwing can be obtained.

On the other hand, the top plate 3b of the second container 3 slightly protrudes to the outer peripheral side from the peripheral wall 3a, and the top plate of the second container 3 extends along the inner peripheral surface on the upper side inside the cap body 5. A circumferential rib 30 is formed to engage with a portion where 3b projects to the outer peripheral side. Therefore, the second container 3 is held without dropping from the uppermost position of the cap body 5 by the engagement between the projecting portions of the top plate 3 b and the circumferential rib 30.
Since the top plate 3b of the second container 3 comes into surface contact with the internal ceiling surface of the cap body 5 in addition to the engagement between the protruding portion of the top plate 3b and the circumferential rib 30, the second container 3 and Between the assembly with the cap body 5, when the cap body 5 is screwed to the first container 2, a frictional resistance is generated so that the second container 3 can also rotate integrally. In short, the cap body 5 and the second container 3 are related so as to be integrally coupled with each other.

A plurality of axial ribs 31 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 21 in the cutter member 4 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, and the peripheral wall 3 a of the second container 3 is formed. On the outer peripheral surface, axial ribs 32 are provided that are slidable in the axial direction while being engaged with the respective axial ribs 31 of the cutter member 4. These cutters 4 are guided by the engagement of the axial ribs 31 and 32 so that the cutter member 4 can rotate integrally with the second container 3 but can move up and down around the second container 3.
A circumferential rib 35 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cap body 5 at a height corresponding to the vicinity of the lower end of the second container 3, and the upper circumferential surface of the cutter member 4 can be engaged with the circumferential rib 35 of the cap body 5. A peripheral rib 36 is provided (see FIGS. 1 to 4). Due to the engagement of the peripheral ribs 35 and 36, a lower limit for lowering the cutter member 4 in the cap body 5 is determined.

As described above, since the lower limit of the lowering of the cutter member 4 is determined, the state in which the cutter member 4 and the second container 3 are engaged with each other by the axial ribs 31 and 32 is always guaranteed. Further, the cutter member 4 is not easily dropped from the cap body 5.
As is apparent from the above description, in the first embodiment, the cap body 5 (internal thread 26) is screwed around the insertion port 10 (internal thread 25) in the first container 2 and is advanced ( As the first container 2 and the cap body 5 are relatively close to each other, the second container 3 that is integrated with the cap body 5 is also relative to the first container 2. It will approach.

Thus, the cutter member 4 sandwiched between the upper and lower parts of the first container 2 and the second container 3 breaks the lower seal while breaking the seal 11 to be sealed against the inlet 10 of the first container 2. The sealing portion 18 is pushed in, and the upper seal breaking portion 17 is pushed into the dropping port portion 13 of the second container 3 while breaking the tear-scheduled seal 14. The operation of these breaks will be described later.
By the way, in this 1st Embodiment, when the 1st container 2 and the 2nd container 3 were made to make the most relative approach, ie, by the relative rotation of the 1st container 2 and the cap body 5, the external thread 25 and the internal thread 26 become. When it is screwed until it is fully tightened, the to-be-sealed seal 14 of the second container 3 and the to-be-sealed seal 11 of the first container 2 are torn into openings that are not less than a half circle and not more than a full circle. Measures are taken to prevent separation.

This prevents the broken seal tongue from being mixed into the first container 2 or the second container 3.
As a structure for this purpose, in the upper seal breaking portion 17 of the cutter member 4, no blade is formed in the lowermost portion of the cutter blade portion 17 b in the upper peripheral portion of the inner ring portion 22, preferably in a substantially horizontal state. The area made to hold is left.
This region causes an unsealable portion of the planned seal 14 of the second container 3 to open, and an opening promoting portion 17c for pushing and bending the sealed seal tongue upward (in the second container 3). (Shown in FIG. 4).

Further, regarding the lower seal breakage portion 18 of the cutter member 4, the male screw 25 and the female screw are completed so that the relative rotation between the first container 2 and the cap body 5 (the amount of circumferential movement of the lower cutting edge portion 18a) is completed at less than 360 °. The lead angle with 26 and the number of leads are set.
Here, the lower cutting edge portion 18a of the lower seal breaking portion 18 holds the protruding amount and protruding width of the blade base portion 18b at the lower position. This means that the blade base portion 18b breaks the first container 2. This means that an unsealed region is generated in the seal 11 to be sealed, and the seal tongue piece after the seal acts as an opening promoting portion for pushing and bending downward (in the first container 2).

The spacer member 6 is for holding the first container 2 and the cap body 5 so as not to be relatively close to each other. The spacer member 6 is connected to the cap body 5 via a scheduled separation portion 40 scheduled to be removed only once.
The part 40 to be cut is formed by forming a V-notch-shaped groove in the connecting portion between the cap body 5 and the spacer member 6 and connecting them with a single thin skin, and tearing this single thin skin portion. The spacer member 6 is removed from the cap body 5.
The spacer member 6 is formed in a ring shape that substantially makes a round (not completely rounds) the lower end peripheral portion of the cap body 5, and is formed in a crank folded shape at one end portion thereof radially outward. The knob portion 41 is provided.

Further, circumferential ribs 44 and 45 that engage with each other are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lower end of the spacer member 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the charging port 10 of the first container 2. These circumferential ribs 44 and 45 both project in a continuous ring shape.
In addition, when the cap body 5 is put on the charging port 10 of the first container 2, the peripheral ribs 44 and 45 are relatively easily moved over to be in an engaged state. After that, in the operation of removing the cap body 5 from the inlet 10 of the first container 2, the cross-sectional shape of the peripheral ribs 44, 45 is vertical so that the engagement of the peripheral ribs 44, 45 is difficult to disengage. A gradient with a bias is given.

Such a spacer member 6 cannot be screwed relative to the cap body 5 and the first container 2 unless they are removed from the cap body 5 and vice versa. An effect as a seal is exhibited. Accordingly, unintentional breakage in distribution can be prevented in advance, and this is a merit in terms of quality assurance and crime prevention for the inner surface of the cap body 5 as well as the first agent and the second agent.
Next, the use state is demonstrated about the two-component mixing container 1 of this invention which comprises the said structure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, before use, the cap body 5 and the spacer member 6 are connected to each other while being screwed to the charging port 10 of the first container 2 before being used. The circumferential ribs 44 and 45 are engaged with each other between the spacer member 6 and the spacer member 6.
The cutter member 4 is provided between the upper and lower sides of the first container 2 and the second container 3, but for the second container 3 held on the inner ceiling of the cap body 5, the upper seal breaking part 17. The first container 2 is on standby at an upper position where it does not interfere with the lower seal breaking portion 18.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the spacer member 6 is removed from the cap body 5 by pulling the knob 41 of the spacer member 6 with a finger and tearing the planned separation portion 40. Then, by rotating the first container 2 and the cap body 5 relative to each other, the male screw 25 and the female screw 26 are caused to advance.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the cap body 5 approaches the first container 2 while rotating, but is suspended from the cap body 5 through the engagement of the peripheral ribs 35 and 36. The cutter member 4 that is present also approaches the first container 2 together.

When the cap body 5 keeps approaching the first container 2 and the lower seal breakage portion 18 of the cutter member 4 comes into contact with the planned breakage seal 11 of the first container 2, Although the action (lifting force) for stopping the approach to the one container 2 occurs, the cutter member 4 is in a relationship of rotating integrally with the second container 3 through the engagement of the axial ribs 31 and 32. .
For this reason, the lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4 is moving in a circumferential direction, so that it is pierced and pierced by the to-be-sealed seal 11 of the first container 2. However, at this stage, since the forcible load directed downward with respect to the cutter member 4 has not yet acted, in some cases, the lower seal breaking portion 18 remains in contact with the torn seal 11, It is also possible that the cutter member 4 is restrained (that is, the planned seal 11 is not broken).

When the cap body 5 and the first container 2 continue to be screwed and further approach each other, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer ring portion 21 and the flange portion 23 of the cutter member 4 become the inlet 10 of the first container 2. The upper seal 22 is pressed against the inner ring portion 22 of the cutter member 4.
Therefore, the lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4 is pushed into the charging port portion 10 of the first container 2, and the upper seal breaking portion 17 of the cutter member 4 is pushed against the dropping port portion 13 of the second container 3. Will be pushed.

At this time, since the cutter member 4 is integrally rotated with the second container 3, along with the circumferential movement of the lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4, at this stage, the seal of the seal 11 to be broken in the first container 2 is reached. The rupture is certain.
Although the relative rotation does not occur between the cutter member 4 and the second container 3 because the axial ribs 31 and 32 are engaged with each other, the upper seal breaking portion 17 of the cutter member 4 has been described above. Thus, it has the upper cutting-blade part 17a and the cutter blade part 17b which becomes a downward gradient on this both sides. Therefore, the scheduled seal 14 of the second container 3 is surely broken by using the portion first pierced by the upper cutting edge portion 17a as a trigger so that the crack is extended and enlarged by the cutter blade portion 17b. Will be.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the second seal 3 that was torn and the seal to be sealed 11 of the first container 2 and the seal to be sealed 14 of the second container 3 were both broken. The agent passes through the upper and lower through holes 19 of the cutter member 4, falls into the first container 2, and is mixed with the first agent stored in the first container 2.
In this state, the entire two-component mixing container 1 is lightly shaken as necessary to promote mixing of the first agent and the second agent. What is necessary is just to take out the content (mixed 2 agent) of the 1st container 2 which mixed after taking out to the cup etc.

In addition, if the cap body 5 is removed and turned over and the internal cutter member 4 and the second container 3 are removed, the cap body 5 itself can be used as a cup. It can be used conveniently when taking out the contents (mixed two) in small portions.
Note that the upper seal breaking portion 17 of the cutter member 4 keeps the first container 2 and the second container 3 relatively close to each other, so that the planned seal 14 of the second container 3 is not less than a full circle and not more than a half circle. However, not only the opening but also the opening promoting portion 17c pushes and folds the sealed seal piece upward (in the second container 3).

Further, the lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4 keeps the first vessel 2 and the second vessel 3 closest to each other even when the to-be-sealed seal 11 of the first vessel 2 is not less than a full circle and not more than a half circle. However, not only the opening but also the opening promoting portion (the blade base portion 18b) pushes and folds the sealed seal piece downward (in the first container 2).
Therefore, even after the first container 2 and the second container 3 are most closely approached, the tear-seal scheduled seal 14 of the second container 3 and the tear-scheduled seal 11 of the first container 2 are completely torn. There is no such thing that a broken piece of sealing tongue is not mixed in the mixed two agents.

As described above in detail, the two-component mixing container 1 according to the present invention is a double seal type in which both the first container 2 and the second container 3 are provided with the seals 11 and 14 to be ruptured. Unlike the case of breaking the seal member in the closed state, each of the to-be-sealed seals 11 and 14 is separately sealed by the separate blades (the upper seal breaking portion 17 and the lower seal breaking portion 18) of the cutter member 4. Therefore, both can be broken lightly and reliably.
Therefore, there is an advantage that the operability for mixing the two agents is excellent and there is no failure in the operation for mixing the two agents.

11 and 12 show a second embodiment of the two-component mixing container 1 according to the present invention. When the two-component mixing container 1 of the second embodiment is most different from the first embodiment described above, the upper and lower spaces between the cutter member 4 and the inlet 10 of the first container 2 are in an unused state. The spacer ring 50 made of an elastic material is interposed.
When the spacer ring 50 is provided, when the cap body 5 is screwed into the charging port 10 of the first container 2 when the two-component mixing container 1 is assembled, the downward impact of the cap body 5 can be absorbed. There is an advantage that the screwing degree of the cap body 5 can be made uniform (the lower limit of screwing can be limited).

In addition, after removing the spacer member 6, the cutter member 4 is supported on the inlet 10 of the first container 2 via the spacer ring 50 when the first container 2 and the cap body 5 are rotated relative to each other. As a result, the vertical distance between the insertion port 10 and the cutter member 4 is maintained.
For this reason, the second container 3 and the cutter member 4 always come in close proximity to each other. That is, the seal seal 14 of the second container 3 is broken by the upper seal breaking part 17 of the cutter member 4, and then the screwing of the cap body 5 and the first container 2 is further continued, whereby the spacer ring 50. Through the vertical compression, the to-be-sealed seal 11 of the first container 2 is torn by the lower seal breaking portion 18 of the cutter member 4.
