Description

  The present invention relates to an antibacterial agent container. More specifically, the present invention relates to an antibacterial agent container configured to contain an antibacterial agent having an antibacterial substance supported on a solid carrier.

In recent years, chlorine dioxide has attracted attention as a disinfectant that replaces chlorine. Conventionally, as a method for generating chlorine dioxide, it has been a mainstream to mix and react a sodium chlorite aqueous solution (stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution) and an acid (activator) (Patent Document 1). However, such a method cannot be easily used by a general user because it takes time for demixing and may cause a side reaction.
As a technique for solving such a problem, a disinfectant having a chlorine dioxide gas adsorbed and held on a porous inorganic carrier has been developed (Patent Document 2). This disinfectant is stored and stored in a container, and when used, the upper lid of the container is opened, and chlorine dioxide gas is gradually diffused into the air from the opening.

  On the other hand, the following is known as a container such as a case or bag for storing a drug such as an antibacterial substance. For example, a sustained-release drug container in which a sustained-release drug is stored in a bag-shaped container made of a gas-impermeable sheet, an opening is formed in the container, and the opening is covered with a drug release film. Is known (Patent Document 3). In addition, it is known that a deodorizing agent is sealed in a water-repellent nonwoven fabric and is stored in a resin cassette installed in a refrigerator (Patent Document 4).

  By the way, when trying to apply the disinfectant described in Patent Document 2 as an antibacterial container suitable for carrying, even when a strong vibration or impact is given to the product, the carrier carrying chlorine dioxide leaks out. From the viewpoint of safety and the sustainability of the effect, it is required to stably and continuously release chlorine dioxide without generating a high concentration of chlorine dioxide at one time.

  From such a viewpoint, the present inventor, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-195716, can carry out a stable amount of an antibacterial substance such as chlorine dioxide even under vibrations and impacts, and can be carried around. A suitable antimicrobial container was proposed.

  However, when the present inventor carries and uses the antibacterial agent container according to the application, the user often hangs the antibacterial agent container around the neck and uses the antibacterial agent container. The body may come into contact with the chest, and the release hole formed in the antibacterial agent container may be blocked by the user's body or clothes, and the release of chlorine dioxide from the release hole may be inhibited. I found out.

  Based on such knowledge, an object of the present invention is to provide an antibacterial container that can smoothly release chlorine dioxide when the antibacterial agent is carried and used.

In order to solve the above problems, an antibacterial agent container according to claim 1 of the present invention includes an antibacterial agent in which an antibacterial substance is supported on a solid carrier, and a container that contains the antibacterial agent. A portable antibacterial agent container, wherein the container is formed in a substantially flat shape, and discharge holes for releasing the antibacterial substance into the atmosphere are provided on the front and back surfaces. It is characterized by that.
Even when one side of the antibacterial container is brought into contact with a user's body or clothes when carrying and using the antibacterial container, the other part of the antibacterial container is used. A discharge hole formed in the surface is opened to the outside air.
Therefore, regardless of the direction of the antibacterial agent container when being carried, the chlorine dioxide discharge hole is opened to the outside air side.
Thereby, smooth release of the chlorine dioxide can be ensured.

The antibacterial agent container according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that the antibacterial agent container according to claim 1 is provided with a hole used to suspend the antibacterial agent container. .
Thereby, it can be carried by hanging from a neck or hanging on a bag by passing a string or strap through the hole of the antibacterial agent container or attaching a strap with a clip.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as described in claim 3, the antibacterial agent container is manufactured by stacking two light-shielding films and pressing the periphery.
By adopting such a configuration, it becomes easy to manufacture the antibacterial agent container having a flat shape, and a form suitable for being carried by being hung from the neck or put in a pocket.
In addition, since the surrounding crimped portion is strong and the shape is not easily deformed even under vibration or impact when being carried, the risk of leakage of contents due to breakage of the bag or the like is small.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the discharge hole is formed in the upper part of the front and back surfaces of the container in a state where the container is suspended, as described in claim 4. As described above, it is preferable that the container is formed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the back surface, and further, on the top and bottom surfaces of the container and on the bottom surface of the back surface as described in claim 6.
By adopting such a configuration, when the antibacterial agent container is carried down to the chest, the release position of chlorine dioxide from the filled antibacterial agent is made appropriate together with the effect of the invention of claim 1. More efficient release can be ensured.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as described in claim 7, the discharge hole is covered with a peelable seal.
By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the release of the antibacterial substance from the discharge hole when not in use, and it is suitable for storage.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as described in claim 8, the antibacterial substance is chlorine dioxide, and the solid carrier is at least one selected from sepiolite, zeolite, silica, alumina, silica alumina, and cellulose. It is characterized by being one.
By using these solid carriers, moderate adsorption of the antibacterial substance can be realized.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a portable antibacterial agent container capable of continuously releasing a stable amount of chlorine dioxide even under vibration or impact, and to the neck. Even when the antibacterial container is in contact with the body or clothing in the suspended state, the chlorine dioxide discharge hole is always opened to the atmosphere side to ensure stable release of chlorine dioxide. it can.

<Embodiment 1>
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the antibacterial agent container of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
An antibacterial agent container 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes an internal container 2 made of a non-woven fabric and an external container 3 made of an aluminum vapor deposition film for housing the same.
In the internal container 2, solid particulate antibacterial agent 4 is stored at a filling rate of about 60% of the volume of the internal container 2.

The internal container 2 has a rectangular sheet shape (length 45 mm × width 65 mm (internal space forming region)) in a state where the antibacterial agent 4 is not stored, and is manufactured by folding a single nonwoven fabric in two and pasting the periphery. It is a thing.
The inner container 2 is formed with fine holes (not shown) having a diameter smaller than that of the sepiolite fine particles. The micropores do not pass through sepiolite particles but pass through chlorine dioxide molecules.

The outer container 3 has a rectangular sheet shape (length 55 mm × width 85 mm (internal space forming region)) in a state where the inner container 2 is not housed. Manufactured.
The external container 3 can be formed into a bag shape by cutting a laminated sheet obtained by bonding an aluminum sheet and a resin film into a predetermined shape, and then integrating the peripheral portions of these sheets by heat fusion. .
Further, the crimping portion 32 on the long side of the external container 3 is wide at the center, and a long hole 5 for attaching a strap (not shown) is formed at the center. The external container 3 should just be formed with the material which does not permeate | transmit an antimicrobial substance substantially. Moreover, it is preferable that it is a light-shielding material from a viewpoint of maintaining the stability of an antibacterial substance.

The outer container 3 has a volume approximately 1.6 times that of the inner container 2. In addition, the volume in the case of using the flat antibacterial agent container 1 as in the present embodiment can be approximated by the area of the front surface of the antibacterial agent container 1 (part corresponding to the internal space forming region).
Here, the volume ratio between the inner container 2 and the outer container 3 is preferably about 1: 3 to 1: 1.2, more preferably about 1: 2 to 1: 1.2. By setting it as such a range, a moderate clearance can be formed between the internal container 2 and the external container 3, and the sustained release of the antibacterial substance to the atmosphere, which will be described in detail later, is ensured. can do. In particular, by using a flat one as the external container 3, an appropriate gap can be formed at a predetermined position between the internal container 2 and the external container 3. This effect will be described in detail later.
By using a flat external container 3 and making the entire antibacterial container 1 flat, it can be hung from the neck or put in a pocket, which is convenient for carrying. The maximum thickness of the antibacterial agent container 1 (thickness of the thickest portion, in the present embodiment, near the center) is preferably about 3 mm to 10 mm, more preferably about 3 mm to 8 mm.
In addition to the flat shape of the outer container 3, the surrounding crimped portion is strong, so that the container 3 will not be greatly deformed even when an impact is applied during carrying. Therefore, there is little risk that the antibacterial agent 4 leaks or a large amount of chlorine dioxide molecules are released at a time due to deformation of the container 3 due to impact or the like.

In the present embodiment, the outer container 3 is provided with a plurality of discharge holes 31 having a diameter of about 4 mm along the edge of the long side on each of the front and back surfaces.
And the said discharge | release hole 31 is block | closed with the peelable seal 6 stuck on the surface of the said external container 3, When using this antibacterial agent container 1, the said seal 6 is peeled and the said The discharge hole 31 is opened.

The antibacterial agent 4 is obtained by physically adsorbing and supporting chlorine dioxide on porous fine particles (average particle size 0.1 mm) made of sepiolite. A method of adsorbing chlorine dioxide on an inorganic solid support such as sepiolite is known (see Patent Document 2). For example, an inorganic acid is added to an aqueous sodium nitrite solution, and the resulting mixture is washed with an aqueous sodium chlorite solution to convert chlorine in the mixture into chlorine dioxide to produce chlorine dioxide, Adsorbed to a solid support.
In addition, the solid support | carrier should just be able to carry | support an antibacterial substance, such as chlorine dioxide, on the surface, and not only a porous thing but the thing with an unevenness | corrugation on the surface may be used. Further, the solid carrier is not limited to one formed of an inorganic material, but may be one formed of an organic material such as cellulose.
The chlorine dioxide in the present invention is a concept including stabilized chlorine dioxide (chlorite). In this case, chlorine dioxide can be generated by supporting an organic acid together.
Chlorine dioxide in the antibacterial agent 4 is dissociated from sepiolite by physical force such as vibration of surrounding air or collision of fine particles.

Here, the average particle diameter (median diameter) of the inorganic solid carrier such as sepiolite is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1 mm. In the present invention, the average particle diameter can be measured by an apparatus using the principle of the laser diffraction / scattering method.
By setting the average particle size within a certain range, the fluidity of the antibacterial agent 4 can be controlled, and the release of the antibacterial substance from the first container can be stably continued. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of increasing the effect, the filling rate of the inorganic solid carrier in the first container is preferably about 30 to 80%, preferably about 40 to 70%. The filling rate in the present invention can be determined by dividing the apparent volume when the antibacterial agent is filled under non-compression by the capacity of the first container.
The higher the fluidity and the lower the filling rate, the easier the release of antibacterial substances.

Next, the mechanism of chlorine dioxide release in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
Chlorine dioxide carried on the sepiolite fine particles constituting the antibacterial agent 4 is dissociated from the surface of the fine particles due to the flow of air generated by vibrations of the antibacterial agent container 1, collisions between the fine particles constituting the antibacterial agent 4, and the like. It discharge | releases outside from the micropore formed in the whole surface of the internal container 2 which consists of a nonwoven fabric. In a normal state, the inner container 2 that houses the antibacterial agent 4 has the greatest thickness around the center and is in contact with the inside of the outer container 3. On the other hand, the inner container 2 is reduced in thickness toward the end, and a gap S1 and a gap S2 are formed between the inner container 2 and the outer container 3 having a larger volume than the inner container 2. The chlorine dioxide released from the fine holes of the internal container 2 is temporarily held in the gap S1 and is gradually released from the discharge holes 31 formed in the external container 3. Further, the chlorine dioxide temporarily held in the gap S <b> 2 slowly diffuses into the gap S <b> 1 in the external container 3 and is gradually released from the discharge hole 31.

  Here, the case where the impact and vibration which may arise at the time of carrying to the antibacterial agent container 1 are added is demonstrated. When an impact or vibration is applied, the air around the antibacterial agent 4 vibrates, or the fine particles of the antibacterial agent 4 collide, and a larger amount of chlorine dioxide dissociates from the fine particles than in a stationary state. The dissociated chlorine dioxide is discharged from the fine holes of the internal container 2 to the gap S1 and the gap S2, and is temporarily held in the gap. Chlorine dioxide held in the gap S 1 communicating with the discharge hole 3 is gradually released from the discharge hole 31.

If the discharge hole 31 is provided in the vicinity of the center (contact portion), for example, not the edge portion (the portion forming the gap) of the external container 3, the chlorine dioxide is temporarily held in the gap. In some cases, chlorine dioxide may be released at a time when a sufficient impact is not obtained. This is because the impact is most easily applied to the thickest central portion of the external container 3.
However, in the present invention, a hole may be provided near the center (contact portion). In this case, the size and number of the holes can be adjusted so that chlorine dioxide is not released at a time when an impact is applied.
In the case of this embodiment, even when pressure is applied to the edge of the external container 3, only the amount of chlorine dioxide retained in the gap S1 is released at a time, and a predetermined amount or more of dioxide dioxide is released. The risk of chlorine being released at once can be avoided.

  The size of the gaps S1 and S2 can be changed by adjusting the volume ratio between the internal container 2 and the external container 3. The larger the gap, the greater the amount of antimicrobial substance that can be released at a time when pressure is applied to the edge. That is, the volume ratio of each container may be determined in consideration of the allowable amount and toxicity of the antimicrobial substance to be used.

In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where chlorine dioxide was used as an antibacterial substance, it is also possible to use an antibacterial metal etc. in addition to this.
Moreover, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where an inorganic material was used as a solid support | carrier, the organic material using a cellulose etc. can also be used, for example.

  In use, the antibacterial agent container 1 of the present embodiment is put into use by peeling the seal 6 and opening the discharge hole 31, and a person attaches a strap to the long hole 5 to hang it from the neck. It can also be placed in any space such as a room, a car, or a refrigerator.

Here, in particular, when the mobile phone is hung around the neck and carried with the person, the antibacterial agent container 1 may be shaken and the front and back surfaces may be changed with respect to the person.
And the said discharge hole 31 located in the side facing the user's chest etc. is easy to be blocked by the said user's clothing.

  However, in this embodiment, since the discharge hole 31 is formed on the front and back surfaces of the antibacterial agent container 1, one of the discharge holes 31 formed on either the front or back surface is always directed to the atmosphere. Released.

  Therefore, in the portable state, a chlorine dioxide release route is always ensured, thereby ensuring stable chlorine dioxide release.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above in that the formation position of the discharge hole 31 is changed, and other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the above-described release hole 31 is added along the other long side (the lower side in the illustrated example) of the front or back surface (the front surface in the present embodiment) of the antibacterial agent container 1. It is provided.

By setting it as such a structure, the chlorine dioxide diffused in the said clearance gap S2 can be discharge | released without passing through the said clearance gap S1.
Thereby, the amount of chlorine dioxide released can be adjusted to adjust the antibacterial effect.
This additional lower discharge hole 31, like the other discharge holes 31, is also closed by a peelable seal 6 and is opened by peeling off the seal 6 during use. It is done by the will of the person.

<Embodiment 3>
Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present embodiment, the position where the discharge hole 31 is formed is further changed as compared with the first embodiment described above, and other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the discharge holes 31 are formed along the long side above the front surface, and the new discharge holes 31 are formed along the long side below the back surface.

In any of the three embodiments described above, as shown in FIG.
Here, an example using the third embodiment will be described. First, the seals 6 on the front and back surfaces are peeled off, and the discharge holes 31 formed on the upper surface and the discharge formed on the lower surface. The holes 31 are opened, and the antibacterial agent container 1 is first mounted with the surface facing the atmosphere.

  In this state, chlorine dioxide is released from the discharge holes 31 formed on the front surface to obtain an antibacterial action, and the discharge holes 31 formed on the back surface are brought into contact with the user's clothes and the like so that a sufficient opening is obtained. The area is not obtained and the release of chlorine dioxide is suppressed.

When the antibacterial agent container 1 is reversed by the movement of the user and the back side is directed to the atmosphere as shown in FIG. 11, the discharge hole 31 formed on the back side is directed to the atmosphere. Then, chlorine dioxide is released.
On the other hand, the discharge holes 31 formed on the surface side are covered with clothing and the like, and the amount of chlorine dioxide released is suppressed.

  Therefore, even when these antibacterial agent containers 1 are hung around the neck and carried for use, the release hole 31 opened to the atmosphere is always secured, and the release of chlorine dioxide is always secured, thereby providing stable antibacterial activity. The action can be sustained.

Since the antibacterial agent container 1 of the present invention exhibits an antibacterial action continuously and can be safely carried, it can be carried by everyone in a venue where many people gather.
Thereby, virus infection and bacterial infection can be prevented, and the chlorine dioxide discharge hole is always kept in the atmosphere even when the antibacterial agent container 1 is in contact with the body or clothing in a state where it is suspended from the neck. Toward a stable release of chlorine dioxide toward the side
