Definitions
- the present invention relates to a storage container suitable for storing tablets such as medicines and supplements, granular materials such as capsules, and powders such as microcapsules.
- medicine tablets are contained in glass bottles and other containers.
- the density of the tablets increases due to vibration during transport, and as a result, a space is generated at the upper end portion inside the container.
- the tablets may move relative to each other due to vibration, and may collide with each other or rub against each other. As a result, the tablets may be broken or the surface of the tablets may be rubbed to generate fine powder.
- the foam which has the delayed shape recovery property is arrange
- the foam expands to fill the space when a space is generated in the upper part of the container. Therefore, no space is generated in the container, and the tablets are prevented from colliding or rubbing.
- the foam used in the conventional container has a delayed shape recovery property, when a space is generated in the upper part of the container immediately after the tablet is filled in the container, the space is reduced.
- Cannot be filled with foam For example, when the container is transported along a transport line immediately after the tablet is filled in the container, a space may be generated in the upper portion of the container due to vibration during transport. However, the foam does not swell immediately after being inserted into the container. Therefore, when a space is generated inside the container immediately after the tablet is filled, the space cannot be filled with the foam. For this reason, the container filled with the tablets is transported along the production line with a space formed therein. As a result, there is a possibility that the tablet may be broken or rubbed due to vibration during transportation to generate fine powder.
- the present invention includes a container body having a housing portion having a distal end opened, a bottom portion that closes a proximal end portion of the housing portion, and a lid body that closes a distal end opening portion of the housing portion.
- the bottom portion is formed to be deformable into a first state that protrudes from the distal end side toward the proximal end side and a second state that protrudes from the proximal end side toward the distal end side.
- a shape maintaining means for maintaining the bottom in the second state with a predetermined magnitude of force.
- the bottom portion is formed of a plastic film
- the shape maintaining means is a shape maintaining member fixed to the inner periphery of the base end portion of the housing portion located on the base end side from the bottom portion. It is desirable that the bottom is maintained in the second state by striking the bottom.
- the shape maintaining member may be formed to be deformable between the first state and the second state. Further, the shape maintaining member may be integrally provided on either the distal end side surface or the proximal end side surface of the bottom portion.
- the shape maintaining means is formed so that the bottom portion can be elastically deformed in the first state and the second state, and the bottom portion can maintain the second state by its own strength. It may be used as both.
- the shape maintaining means may be a negative pressure formed inside the container body, and the bottom may be deformed from the first state to the second state by the negative pressure. In that case, it is desirable that the housing portion is formed with higher strength than the bottom portion so as not to be deformed by the negative pressure.
- the storage container of the present invention having the above-described characteristic structure When, for example, the storage container of the present invention having the above-described characteristic structure is filled with a granular material, a predetermined amount of the granular material is charged into the container main body with the bottom portion in the first state. Thereafter, the container body is immediately vibrated to increase the density of the granular material. Then, a space is formed inside the container body by the amount that the density of the granular material is increased. Next, the bottom is brought into the second state. Then, the internal volume of the container main body is reduced by the amount of the bottom portion changed from the first state to the second state, and the entire granular body is pressed and moved to the tip side. As a result, the space formed inside the container body is filled with the granular material.
- the bottom is maintained in the second state by the shape maintaining means, no space is formed inside the container body. Therefore, even if the container main body vibrates immediately after charging the granular body into the container main body, the granular body is not cracked or rubbed to generate fine powder. Further, since the density of the granular material is once increased by vibrating the container main body, no space is formed in the container even if the container is vibrated by conveyance after the manufacture of the container containing the granular material is completed. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the granular material is broken or a fine powder is generated not only during the conveyance immediately after charging the granular material into the container body but also during the conveyance after the product is completed.

Is maintained in a convex state toward the top. That is, the negative pressure inside the accommodating portion 4 is used as the shape maintaining means.
- the accommodating portion 4 is formed with such a strength that it does not deform to a pressure that is lower than the negative pressure when the bottom portion 8A is convex upward to the maximum extent by a predetermined pressure. Thereafter, the sealing seal 5 is fixed to the upper end surfaces of the housing portion 4 and the reinforcing cylinder 6 while maintaining the inside of the housing portion 4 at a negative pressure, and then the lid body 3 is screwed and fixed to the reinforcing cylinder 6.
- the container body 2 is arranged in the vertical direction, but may be arranged in the horizontal direction. In that case, an opening is formed at one of the left and right ends of the container body 2 and a bottom 8 is formed at the other end.
- the storage container according to the present invention can be used as a container for storing granular materials such as tablets such as drugs and supplements and powdered materials such as microcapsules.

Abstract
Description
この場合、上記底部がプラスチックフィルムによって形成され、上記形状維持手段が、上記底部より基端側に位置する上記収容部の基端部内周に固定された形状維持部材であり、この形状維持部材が上記底部に突き当たることによって上記底部が上記第2の状態に維持されていることが望ましい。上記形状維持部材は、上記第1の状態と上記第2の状態とに変形可能に形成されていてもよい。さらに、上記形状維持部材は、上記底部の先端側の面と基端側の面とのいずれか一方に一体的に設けられていてもよい。
上記底部が、上記第1の状態と上記第2の状態とに弾性変形可能に形成され、しかも上記底部は、それ自体の強度によって上記第2の状態を維持することができるよう、形状維持手段として兼用されていてもよい。
上記形状維持手段が、上記容器本体の内部に形成された負圧であり、この負圧によって上記底部が上記第1の状態から上記第2の状態に変形させられるものであってもよい。その場合には、上記収容部が、上記負圧によって変形することがないよう、上記底部より高い強度をもって形成されていることが望ましい。
図1及び図2は、この発明の第1実施の形態を示す。この実施の形態の収容容器1は、容器本体2及び蓋体3を有している。
例えば、上記の実施の形態においては、容器本体2が上下方向に向けて配置されているが、横向きに配置してもよい。その場合には、容器本体2の左右いずれか一方の端部に開口部が形成され、他端部に底部8が形成される。
