Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The disposable storage container for contact lenses according to the present invention is provided with a disposable storage container for contact lenses, which is temporarily sealed and stored in the storage container when the contact lens is reused by taking out the contact lens from the storage container. The present invention relates to a disposable storage container for contact lenses having a structure in which a part of the structure is destroyed and the storage container cannot be reused.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various kinds of containers for storing and storing contact lenses, and the containers themselves are not disposable, but can store and store contact lenses many times (as an example, Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 6). -523579, contact lens container and method of use).

In addition, when the container itself is disposable, the contact lens contained in the container is always one-time disposable, and the one-time disposable contact lens and the one-time disposable container are a set. It is currently sold.

[0004]

A one-time disposable contact lens and a one-time disposable container sold as a set are purchased, and the one-time disposable contact lens and the above-mentioned one-time disposable lens are sold. No problem occurs when both disposable disposable containers are used as disposable ones, but various problems occur when reusable contact lenses are repeatedly stored and stored in a reusable storage container. It was unavoidable to occur.

The largest of these problems is the problem of hygiene. In the case of reusable contact lenses, it is a well-known fact that the wearer is required to take care of the contact lenses daily in order to protect the eyes from bacterial infection and the like.

As a method of care, usually, after removing the contact lens, the contact lens is washed with a cleaning solution, the contact lens is immersed in a storage container containing a preservative solution, and the container is sealed for storage. Has been taken. Alternatively, a method may be adopted in which the contact lens is washed with a washing preservation solution having both a washing function and a preservation function, the contact lens is immersed in a preservation container containing the washing preservation solution, and the container is sealed for preservation.

Regardless of which method is used, the wearer's attention is directed to the cleaning and preservation of the contact lens body, and it is recognized that any wearer tends to do this with respect to the cleaning and preservation of the contact lens body. However,
The hygiene condition of the container for storing and storing the contact lens body is relatively indifferent, and the number of users who wash the container every day is extremely small.

However, in recent years, as in the case of the contact lens body care, the importance of the care of the contact lens storage container has been increasing, and the contact lens storage container can be used from the medical side or the contact lens manufacturer side. The importance of caring for people is beginning to be widely appealed to wearers.

Certainly, the contact lens storage container is always filled with an antibacterial preservative solution or a cleaning preservative solution, so at first glance it seems to be kept clean, without any special care. It is natural that many wearers think that repeated use is okay.

However, in recent years, the problem of biofilm has been pointed out, and the hygiene care of the container itself has come to be regarded as a problem.

The biofilm is an assembly of film-like bacteria formed by bacteria congregating with each other. Once the biofilm is formed, the biofilm plays the role of armor. Bacteria are protected from antibacterial agents, and as a result, they are extremely difficult to sterilize and disinfect.

[0012] Such biofilms have long been regarded as a problem in the industry due to the clogging phenomenon of filter pumps, etc., but in recent years, they have become a topic of attention in the medical field regarding the problem of chronic persistent infectious diseases. However, it has come to be a cause of the phenomenon that even if an antibacterial drug reaches an effective amount, it is not sterilized.

Even in the contact lens industry, this biofilm is formed in a contact lens storage container, and no matter how much the lens itself is cared for, bacteria survive in the biofilm formed in the storage container, and this bacteria becomes contact lenses. It has been found that there are many cases in which they adhere, enter the eyeball, and cause an infection.

For the above reasons, it is important from the medical side or the contact lens maker side to carry out daily care (washing) on the contact lens storage container as well as the contact lens to prevent biofilm formation. It's up to you to start.

However, on the side of the wearer, there is a strong stereotype that the inside of the storage container filled with the antibacterial preservative solution or washing preservative solution is naturally clean, and the care of the contact lens body is carried out daily. Even if I go there, few people take care of the storage container every day.

Therefore, under the present circumstances, it is desired to develop a contact lens preserving means capable of preserving the contact lens cleanly without any care while continuing to appeal the care of the preserving container.

Another problem of the conventional reusable contact lens storage container is that the contact lens storage container is emptied every day when the contact lens is stored, and a storage solution or a cleaning storage solution is used. There was the inconvenience of having to replace them.

In addition, at this time, since the system is such that the storage solution or the cleaning storage solution in a bottle is filled in the storage container for contact lenses, the storage solution or the cleaning storage solution is accidentally spilled during filling. There were a lot of troubles such as being lost and it was uneconomical.

Therefore, under the present circumstances, it is also required to develop a storage means capable of solving the above-mentioned problems.

[0020]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides the following means for solving the problems. <Solution 1> A storage and storage container for contact lenses, capable of sealing and storing the contact lens after use, and storing and storing the contact lens by opening the configuration of the sealed storage state when the contact lens is reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses, characterized in that a part of the structure of the container suffers irreversible damage, and the storage container cannot be reused. <Solution 2> A storage and storage container for contact lenses, comprising a cleaning tank and a storage tank, and when storing and storing the contact lens, the storage tank is sealed by a sealing means to be in the storage and storage state of the contact lens. When the contact lens is reused, by opening the sealing means, a part or all of the sealing means suffers irreversible damage, and the storage container cannot be reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses according to Solution 1. <Solution 3> A storage and storage container for contact lenses, which has a washing and storing tank, and when storing and storing the contact lens, the washing and storing tank is sealed by a sealing means to store and store the contact lens, When the contact lens is reused, the sealing means is opened so that a part or all of the sealing means suffers irreversible damage, and the storage container cannot be reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses according to Solution 1. <Solution Means 4> A main body having a storage tank in which a preserving liquid is sealed and a lid having a cleaning tank in which a cleaning liquid is preliminarily enclosed, wherein the sealing means is provided with the main body and the lid through a sheet-like packing. When the contact lens is stored and stored, the storage tank is sealed by the sealing means to store and store the contact lens, and the contact lens is reused. By opening the sealing means, at least the fitting portion of the fitting portion and the locking portion suffers irreversible damage, and the storage container cannot be reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses according to Solution 2. <Means for Solving 5> A main body having a cleaning and storing tank in which a cleaning and storing solution is sealed in advance and a lid, and the sealing means fits the main body and the lid through a sheet-like packing, and When the contact lens is stored and stored, the cleaning storage tank is sealed by the sealing means to put the contact lens in the stored storage state, and the sealing means is opened when the contact lens is reused. Therefore, at least the fitting part of the fitting part and the locking part suffers irreversible damage, and the storage container cannot be reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses. <Solution 6> A main body having a storage tank in which a preserving liquid is sealed and a lid having a cleaning tank in which a cleaning liquid is preliminarily enclosed, wherein the sealing means is provided with the main body and the lid via a sheet-like packing. The contact hole is sealed by the sealing means when the contact lens is stored and stored. When the contact lens is stored and stored, when the contact lens is reused, the opening seal is irreversibly damaged by opening the opening seal of the sealing means, and the storage container cannot be reused. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses according to the second aspect of the present invention. <Solution 7> A main body having a cleaning storage tank in which a cleaning storage liquid is sealed in advance and a lid, and the sealing means for fitting the main body and the lid via a sheet-like packing, and It is composed of a locking portion and an opening seal attached to the opening hole of the cleaning and storing tank, and when the contact lens is stored and stored, the cleaning and storing tank is sealed by the sealing means, and the contact lens is stored and stored. In the case of reusing the contact lens, the unsealing seal is irreversibly damaged by unsealing the unsealing seal among the sealing means, and the reusing of the storage container is impossible. Disclosed is a disposable storage container for contact lenses according to Solution 3.

In the disposable storage container for contact lenses of the present invention, when the contact lens is once sealed and stored, and then the contact lens is reused, the container is stored and stored by opening the sealed storage structure. The greatest feature is that any part of the structure of the container suffers irreversible damage, and as a result, the storage container cannot be reused.

That is, in the inventions of the solving means 4 and the solving means 5, as the sealing means, the fitting portion and the locking portion for fitting the main body and the lid body with each other through the sheet-like packing are used. At least the fitting portion is destroyed (irreversibly damaged), and the storage container cannot be reused.

Further, in the inventions of the solving means 6 and the solving means 7, in addition to the fitting portion and the locking portion for fitting the main body and the lid body through the sheet-like packing as the sealing means, the storage tank or the washing storage The opening seal attached to the opening hole formed in the tank is used, but by peeling the opening seal at the time of opening, the adhesive part of the opening seal suffers irreversible damage and is stored and stored. The container cannot be reused.

As described above, a structure in which any part of the structure of the storage and storage container suffers irreversible damage after being used once, and as a result, the storage and storage container cannot be reused. Since it is used, the wearer is physically unable to reuse the storage container and is forced to throw it away.

A perforation M is inserted in the boundary line between the storage tank packing 39a and the cleaning tank packing 39b so that the storage tank packing 39a and the cleaning tank packing 39b can be easily separated. In addition, holes 39d and 39 are provided around the storage tank packing 39a.
d, 39d, 39d are holes in the periphery of the cleaning tank packing 39b.
39c, 39c, 39c and 39c are provided respectively.

The storage container 3 of this embodiment is entirely made of synthetic resin, and the main body 31, the lid 32 and the hinge portion 35 are integrally molded. Although the main body 31 and the lid 32 are configured to have substantially the same thickness, as shown in FIGS. 14b and 18a, the hinge portion 35 is thinner than the main body 31 and the lid 32, and the elasticity of synthetic resin is used. Then, the main body 31 and the lid 32 are hinged.

As the raw material of the storage container 3, synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate can be used. Also, the sheet-shaped packing 39
A synthetic resin such as polyethylene can be used as a raw material of.

As shown in FIGS. 14b and 18a, the main body 31 and the lid 32 form a continuous flat portion 36 at the hinge portion 35, and the flat portion 36 is formed from the main body flat portion 36a and the lid flat portion 36b. Composed. The storage tank 33 is formed in a circular bowl shape on the flat surface portion 36a of the main body, and the cleaning tank 34 is surrounded by the flat surface portion 36b of the lid 32 by the annular bank-shaped flange 34a. It is formed in a circular bowl shape.

In the state where the lid body 31 is rotated by the hinge portion 35 to bring the flat surface portion 36a of the main body 31 and the flat surface portion 36b of the lid 32 into close contact with each other (see FIG. 16b), the flange 34a is attached to the storage tank packing 39.
It is configured to fit on the upper portion of the storage tank 33 via a. In this state, the cleaning tank packing 39b is abandoned as described later.

As shown in FIG. 14a, slit-shaped groove portions 32b are formed from the right end portion of the main body 31 to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the lid 32, and the lid flat surface portion 36b and the cleaning tank are formed.
34 is surrounded by the groove 32b. Therefore, the front end and the rear end of the lid flat surface portion 36b are divided into the groove portions 32b to form the elongated lid piece edge portion 32a. The groove 32b is a lid 32
The right end is not drilled, and this portion integrally connects the flat surface portion 36b of the lid and the one edge portion 32a of the lid as the bridge portion 32c.

Fitting portions 37 are provided to the left, front and rear of the storage tank 33 of the main body 31 and to the right, front and rear of the cleaning tank 34 of the lid 32. The three fitting portions 37 of the main body 31 are holes 37d, 37e, and 37f having a planar shape in which a circle and a square are connected, and the three fitting portions 37 of the lid 32 are beak-shaped on the head. The projections are cylindrical protrusions 37a, 37b, 37c (see FIGS. 14b, 14c, and 18a).

The cylindrical protrusions 37a, 37b, 37c are flat portions of the lid.
The projection 36b is integrally provided with a cylindrical thin-walled recess H having a spherical tip. Figure
17 shows a vertical sectional view of the cylindrical convex portion 37b (the lid 32 and the main body 31).
Shows the close state of, so the top and bottom are reversed). Since the thin-walled concave portion H is eccentrically formed, not at the center of the cylindrical convex portion 37b, the thin-walled portion U is extremely thin on one side.
Is formed. The same applies to the cylindrical projections 37a and 37c.

The fitting portion 37 is formed by connecting the flat surface portion 36a of the main body 31 to the lid body.
The state in which the lid flat portion 36b of 32 is in close contact (see FIGS. 16a and 16).
(b, FIG. 19, FIG. 20), the beak-shaped projections of the heads of the cylindrical protrusions 37a, 37b, 37c are fitted into the holes 37d, 37e, 37f, and the flange 34a of the cleaning tank 34 is inserted through the storage tank packing 39a. The storage tank 33 is configured so that it can be retained in a fitted state (see FIG. 16b).

A locking portion 38 is provided substantially at the center of the flat surface portion 36. The locking portion 38 is formed at the right end of the flat surface portion 36a of the main body, and is a groove
It is composed of a hole 38b connected to 32b and a cylindrical convex portion 38a projecting to the left of the cleaning tank 34 on the flat surface portion 36b of the lid. Hole 38b
Has a planar shape that is substantially symmetrical to the hole 37e, and the square portion of the planar shape is connected to the groove 32b. The columnar convex portion 38a has a beak-like projection on its head like the columnar convex portions 37a, 37b, 37c, and a thin-walled concave portion H is formed at the bottom.

The cylindrical convex portion 38a and the hole 38b are circular when the main body flat portion 36a of the main body 31 and the lid flat portion 36b of the lid 32 are in close contact (FIGS. 16a, 16b, 19 and 20). The beak-shaped projection on the head of the columnar convex portion 38a is configured to be locked to the bottom surface at the right end of the main body flat portion 36a. Therefore, the fitted state of the main body 31 and the lid 32 is configured to be held by the fitting portion 37 and the locking portion 38 at two locations.

When the storage container 3 is not used, the storage tank 33 is filled and sealed with a storage solution (not shown), and the cleaning tank 34 is used.
Is filled with a cleaning liquid (not shown) and sealed. The storage tank packing 39a and the cleaning tank packing 39b are connected at the perforation M to form a sheet-like packing 39.

The operation of the storage container 3 of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 21a to 22d. Since FIGS. 21a to 22d are illustrations, details are omitted as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 21a, the storage container 3 of this embodiment has a main body flat surface portion 36a and a lid flat surface portion in the unused state.
36b forms a continuous series of flat portions 36, the storage tank 33 is filled and sealed with a storage liquid (not shown), the cleaning tank 34 is filled and sealed with a cleaning liquid (not shown), and sealed by a sheet-like packing 39. The state is retained.

As shown in FIG. 21b, contact lens C
After removing the contact lens C, the wearer first removes the cleaning tank packing 39b from the flat surface portion 36b of the lid body, separates it from the perforation M, and discards it. As a result, the cleaning tank 34 is opened, and the contact lens C is cleaned with a cleaning liquid (not shown) in the cleaning tank 34. After cleaning, the cleaning liquid (not shown) is discarded. At this time, since the storage tank 33 is still in a sealed state,
The storage solution (not shown) in the storage tank 33 remains filled and sealed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 21c, the storage tank packing
39a is peeled off about two thirds, and the washed contact lens C is put into a storage solution (not shown) in the storage tank 33.
Further, as shown in FIG. 21d, the lid 32 is rotated counterclockwise around the hinge portion 35, and the main body 31 and the lid 32 are fitted together as shown in FIG. 21e. At this time, the end portion T of the flat surface portion 36b of the lid body rotates counterclockwise and projects to the right end of the entire storage container 3.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 21d, about two-thirds of the storage tank packing 39a has lost its adhesive strength.
As shown in FIG. 21e, the storage tank packing 39a is sandwiched between the flange 34a of the cleaning tank 34 and the upper portion of the storage tank 33, and
Since 33 is sealed, the leakage of the storage solution (not shown) in the storage tank 33 is surely prevented.

Also, the fitting action of the fitting portion 37 and the locking portion
Due to the locking action of 38 (see FIGS. 16b and 20), the fitted state of the main body 31 and the lid 32 is reliably maintained. As a result, the contact lens C is stably held in the storage solution (not shown) in the storage tank 33.

Next, when the contact lens C is reused, as shown in FIG. 22a, a finger is put on the end portion T of the storage container 3 which projects to the right end, and the contact lens C is strongly pulled upward. As a result, first, the beak-shaped projection of the head of the cylindrical convex portion 38a of the locking portion 38 is locked to the right end of the main body flat surface portion 36a (FIG. 16).
b, see FIG. 20), and the lid flat portion 36b is removed from the lid 32.
The counterclockwise rotation is started with the bridge portion 32c as the fulcrum (see FIG. 22a).

At this time, stress is first concentrated on the columnar convex portion 38a, but one of the bases of the columnar convex portion 38a is formed by the thin-walled concave portion H (see FIG. 16b) formed on the bottom surface of the columnar convex portion 38a. Since the portion is thinned, the cylindrical convex portion 38a is broken from this portion, so that the locking portion 38 suffers irreversible damage (see FIG. 22a).

Further, when the end portion T is further pulled upward after the locking portion 38 is released, as shown in FIG. 14a, it is separated by the groove portion 32b and the main body flat portion 36a is separated by the hinge portions 35, 35. The one edge 32a of the lid, which is hinged to, is in a static state, so that the stress of the mechanical imbalance is not the next.
It is concentrated on the cylindrical projections 37a and 37c of 37 (see FIG. 22a).

Since the cylindrical projections 37a and 37c are provided with a thin-walled recess H at the bottom and the base thereof is thinned, this portion is broken. As a result, the configuration of the fitting portion 37 suffers irreversible damage at the portions of the cylindrical protrusions 37a and 37c. At the same time, the state that the beak-shaped projections of the heads of the cylindrical protrusions 37a and 37c are fitted into the holes 37d and 37d is released, and the lid 32 is slightly raised with the end T being the fulcrum of the bridge portion 32c. (See FIG. 22b).

Next, as shown in FIG. 22c, the left side portion of the lid 32 is pinched with a finger, and this portion is strongly pulled up. As a result, all the stress concentrates on the columnar convex portion 37b where the fitting portion 37 remains. Since the thin hole H is also formed in the bottom of the cylindrical projection 37b (see FIG. 16b), the base is broken, and the beak-shaped projection of the head of the cylindrical projection 37b is inserted from the fitted hole 37e. It is forcibly pulled out. At this time, the hole 37e is also deformed. That is, the fitting portion 37 suffers irreversible damage even in the portion of the cylindrical convex portion 37b.

As a result, the fitted state of the main body 31 and the lid 32 is completely released, and the lid 32 is rotated clockwise around the hinge portion 35 to be in the state shown in FIG. 22d. At this time, the beak-shaped projections on the heads of the cylindrical convex portions 37a, 37b, 37c and the cylindrical convex portion 38a rotate while retaining the storage tank packing 39a. By rotating around, the storage tank 33 is opened, and the contact lens C can be removed from the storage tank 33. Storage storage container 3 that cannot be reused after removing the contact lens C from the storage tank 33
Is abandoned.

The cleaning storage tank 43
Is filled with a washing storage solution (not shown).

A fitting portion 47 and a locking portion 48 are provided on the flat surface portion 46, and the construction thereof is the same as that of the fitting portion 37 and the locking portion 38 (see FIGS. 14a to 20) of the third embodiment. Therefore, detailed description is omitted. Moreover, the structure of the hinge part 45 is also the hinge part of the third embodiment.
The configuration is the same as that of 35 (see FIG. 14b). Further, the same material as that of the third embodiment can be used. The packing 49 may be made of the same material as the packing 39 of the third embodiment (see FIG. 18b).

That is, the storage container 4 of this embodiment is
The contact lens which uses the cleaning storage solution (not shown) only by removing the cleaning tank 34 from the storage container 3 (see FIGS. 14a to 20) of Example 3 and using the storage tank 33 as the cleaning storage tank 43. It is a container that corresponds to the storage method of. Therefore, instead of the flange 34a of the cleaning tank 34 in the third embodiment, a disk-shaped convex portion 44 (see FIGS. 23a and 23b) is provided to cover the lid 42 and the main body.
It is configured to ensure a fitting and sealed state (see FIG. 23c) via the packing 49 of 41.

The watertight structure of the wash storage tank 43 is reliably maintained by fitting the upper part of the cleaning storage tank 43 through the packing 49. The fitting state of the fitting part 47 and the locking state of the locking part 48 are the fitting state of the fitting part 37 and the locking state of the locking part 38 of the storage container 3 of the third embodiment (FIG. 16a, FIG. 16b, FIG. 20).

The operation of the storage container 4 of this embodiment does not have an independent cleaning tank, so the step of cleaning the contact lens in the cleaning tank is omitted, but the subsequent steps are shown in FIGS.
21e, storage container 3 of Example 3 shown in FIGS. 22a to 22d
Is almost the same as the action of.

The structure having no independent cleaning tank in this embodiment can be naturally applied to the first or second embodiment.

<Fifth Embodiment> The fifth embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment of the invention described in claim 5. As shown in FIGS. 24a to 24d, the storage container 5 of this embodiment is composed of a main body 51 and a lid 52 which are separate parts. The main body flat portion 55 of the main body 51 is provided with a washing storage tank 53, and the lid flat portion 56 is provided with a disk-shaped convex portion 54 having a size to be fitted on the cleaning storage tank 53.

In the storage storage container 5 of this embodiment, the cleaning storage tank 53 is sealed by a sheet-like packing 59 in an unused state. That is, as shown in FIG. 24a, the packing 59 is adhered to the peripheral portion of the cleaning storage tank 53 by the adhesive P (the dotted portion represents the adhesive P). The cleaning storage tank 53 is filled with a cleaning storage solution (not shown).

The main body flat surface 55 and the lid flat surface portion 56 are fitted to each other.
Although the 57 and the locking portion 58 are provided, the configurations thereof are the same as the fitting portion 37 and the locking portion 38 (see FIGS. 14a to 20) of the third embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, the same material as that of the third embodiment can be used. The packing 59 can be made of the same material as the packing 39 of the third embodiment (see FIG. 18b).

That is, the storage container 5 of this embodiment is
The storage tank 3 of the third embodiment (see FIGS. 14a to 20) is used to remove the cleaning tank 34, the storage tank 33 is used as the cleaning storage tank 53, and the hinge 35 is also removed to separate the main body 51 and the lid 52 from each other. This is a container corresponding to the method of storing contact lenses using only a washing storage solution (not shown).

Therefore, as in the fourth embodiment, instead of the flange 34a of the cleaning tank 34 in the third embodiment, the disk-shaped convex portion 54 is used.
(See FIG. 24b and FIG. 24d) are provided to ensure the fitting and sealing state (see FIG. 25c) of the lid 52 and the body 51 through the packing 59.

That is, as shown in FIG. 25c, the disk-shaped convex portion 54 provided integrally with the lid 52 is the washing storage tank 53 of the main body 51.
The watertight structure of the cleaning storage tank 53 is reliably retained by fitting the upper part of the cleaning storage tank 53 through the packing 59. The fitting state of the fitting part 57 and the locking state of the locking part 58 are the fitting state of the fitting part 37 and the locking state of the locking part 38 of the storage container 3 of the third embodiment (FIG. 16a, 16b, 20).

The operation of the storage container 5 of this embodiment does not have an independent washing tank, so the step of washing the contact lens in the washing tank is omitted, but the subsequent steps are shown in FIGS.
21e, storage container 3 of Example 3 shown in FIGS. 22a to 22d
Is almost the same as the action of.

However, since the main body 51 and the lid 52 are separate parts, the hinge 52 rotates the lid 52 in the steps of FIGS. 21d to 21e and 22c to 22d in the third embodiment. Instead, the lid body 52 is pinched with a fingertip and fitted into and removed from the main body 51. The structure having no hinge portion in this embodiment is naturally applicable to the first and second embodiments.

<Sixth Embodiment> A sixth embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment of the invention described in claim 6. The storage container 6 of this embodiment (see FIGS. 26a and 26b) is the same as the storage container 3 of the third embodiment except that the structure of the storage tank 33 is changed to a storage tank 63 with a seal. , The cylindrical protrusion E protruding from the lid 61 (the cylindrical protrusions 37a, 37a of the storage container 3).
(corresponding to b, 37c, 38a) is slightly changed. The remaining structure is the same as that of the storage container 3 of the third embodiment.

That is, in the storage container 6 of this embodiment, the opening hole K having a diameter of about two-thirds of the diameter of the storage tank 63 is formed on the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 provided in the main body 61. The contact lens C in the storage tank 63 can be directly taken out through the opening hole K (see FIG. 26a) (see FIG. 32).

In the unused state, as shown in FIGS. 26a and 26b, the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with a seal has a substantially egg-shaped opening seal S.
It is sealed by. That is, since the unsealing seal S is adhered to the peripheral portion of the unsealing hole K on the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with the adhesive P, the inside of the storage tank 63 with a seal is in a sealed state (the dotted portion indicates the adhesive P. Represent). In this case, the adhesive P is of a type that loses its original adhesive force once it is peeled off. 28 and 30 show a state in which the main body 61 and the lid 62 are fitted together.

The operation of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the storage container 3 of the third embodiment when the contact lens C is stored (see FIG.
21a to 21e). But contact lens C
When reusing the storage container 6, as shown in FIG. 32, the storage container 6 is turned over so that the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with a seal faces upward,
All that is necessary is to peel off the opening seal S from the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with a seal, in whole or in part, and take out the contact lens C from the opening hole K.

Since the adhesive P (see FIG. 26a) loses its original adhesive force once it is peeled off, it is impossible to re-adhere the opening seal S to the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with a seal. That is, the storage container 6 of the present embodiment suffers irreversible damage to its configuration by peeling the opening seal S from the bottom surface of the storage tank 63 with a seal.

Therefore, in this embodiment, unlike the first to fifth embodiments, the fitting portion or the fitting portion and the locking portion need not be irreversibly damaged. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26a and 26b, the cylindrical convex portion E projecting on the upper surface of the lid body 62 is provided with the cylindrical convex portions 37a, 37b, 37c, 38a of the storage container 3. The thin-walled recessed portion H (see FIGS. 14a and 17) that was provided in the above is not provided.

The structure of the storage tank 63 with a seal in this embodiment is naturally applicable to the storage tank 13 of the first embodiment (see FIG. 4) and the storage tank 23 of the second embodiment (see FIG. 9). .

<Seventh Embodiment> The storage and storage container 7 of the seventh embodiment shown in FIGS. 27 and 29 has a cleaning storage tank 43 (see FIG. 23b) of the storage container 4 in the fourth embodiment with an opening on the bottom. The cleaning storage tank 73 with a seal having K and an opening seal S is changed. Therefore, the columnar convex portion E also does not have a thin-walled concave portion. In addition, 71 is a main body and 72 is a lid.

<Eighth Embodiment> The storage and storage container 8 of the eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 31 is the cleaning storage tank 53 (see FIG. 24c) of the storage container 5 in the fifth embodiment, and has an opening K and an opening at the bottom. The cleaning and storing tank with a seal 83 having a seal S for use is changed. Therefore, the columnar convex portion E also does not have a thin-walled concave portion. Incidentally, 81 is a main body, and 82 is a lid.

[0123]

The disposable storage container for contact lenses of the present invention, once used, suffers irreversible damage to any part of the configuration of the storage container, resulting in reuse of the storage container. Since it is impossible to reuse the storage container, it is physically impossible for the wearer to reuse the storage container.

As a result, the contact lens is always stored in a new storage container every time, a biofilm cannot be formed, and it is extremely hygienic. In addition, it is not necessary to pour the preservation solution (or the washing preservation solution into the washing preservation tank) from the bottle into the preservation tank of the storage preservation container as in the conventional case, so it does not take time and there is no worry of spilling the preservation solution or the washing preservation solution. Absent.

In summary, the present invention provides a storage and storage container which is designed to be disposable only once, so that the wearer is completely clean in terms of hygiene and is very convenient in terms of usability. A storage means is provided.
