 ところで、含水性ソフトコンタクトレンズなどでは、保存液と共にコンタクトレンズパッケージに収容して提供される。かかるコンタクトレンズパッケージとしては、従来から、特開平7-322911号公報(特許文献1)や米国特許第4691820号公報(特許文献2)に記載されているように、硬質樹脂製の容器本体に形成された窪みに保存液とコンタクトレンズを収容してカバーフィルムで封止したブリスターパッケージが採用されている。 By the way, a hydrous soft contact lens is provided in a contact lens package together with a storage solution. Such contact lens packages are conventionally formed on a container body made of a hard resin as described in JP-A-7-322911 (Patent Document 1) and US Pat. No. 4,691,820 (Patent Document 2). A blister package in which a storage solution and a contact lens are accommodated in the hollow and sealed with a cover film is employed.
 しかしながら、このような従来構造のブリスターパッケージは、コンタクトレンズを収容する窪みを充分な深さで形成しなければならず、コンパクト化が難しい。そのために、例えば多数のコンタクトレンズをストックしたり、複数のコンタクトレンズを持ち歩いたりする際に嵩張ってしまい、取り扱いに不便を感ずることが多かった。 However, the blister package having such a conventional structure must be formed with a sufficient depth to accommodate the contact lens, and it is difficult to make it compact. For this reason, for example, when a large number of contact lenses are stocked or when a plurality of contact lenses are carried around, it is bulky, and it is often inconvenient to handle.

 本態様のコンタクトレンズパッケージでは、レンズクリップによってコンタクトレンズが軸方向(光軸方向)に押圧変形されて圧縮状態で収容されることから、従来構造のブリスターパッケージに比してコンパクト化が可能となる。 In the contact lens package of this aspect, since the contact lens is pressed and deformed in the axial direction (optical axis direction) by the lens clip and accommodated in a compressed state, the contact lens package can be made more compact than a blister package having a conventional structure. .
 しかも、パッケージ内への収容状態下において、レンズクリップにより挟まれてコンタクトレンズが保持されることから、押圧変形状態でコンタクトレンズが所定形状に安定して維持される。それ故、収容状態下で外力が及ぼされても、コンタクトレンズにおける屈曲や伸縮等の変形の繰り返しが防止され、パッケージ内でのコンタクトレンズの圧縮状態が安定して確保される。また、コンタクトレンズの圧縮形状をレンズクリップで規定して維持することが出来るから、外力等の作用による局所的に大きな変形や好ましくない歪みの発生を防止することも可能となる。 Moreover, since the contact lens is held by being sandwiched between the lens clips in a state of being accommodated in the package, the contact lens is stably maintained in a predetermined shape in the pressed deformation state. Therefore, even when an external force is exerted in the accommodated state, the contact lens is prevented from being repeatedly deformed such as bending and expansion and contraction, and the compressed state of the contact lens in the package is stably secured. Further, since the compression shape of the contact lens can be defined and maintained by the lens clip, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of large local deformation or undesirable distortion due to the action of external force or the like.
 特にレンズクリップは、第一のプレート部と第二のプレート部とが連結部で連結された一体的な構造とされていることから、互いに重ね合わされた第一のプレート部と第二のプレート部における相互の位置ずれが連結部によって防止され得る。それ故、第一のプレート部と第二のプレート部の間に挟まれたコンタクトレンズにプレート部の位置ずれに起因する外力が及ぼされることもなく、コンタクトレンズが両プレート部間で一層安定して位置決めされて保持され得る。 In particular, since the lens clip has an integrated structure in which the first plate portion and the second plate portion are connected by the connecting portion, the first plate portion and the second plate portion that are overlapped with each other. The mutual misalignment can be prevented by the connecting portion. Therefore, the contact lens sandwiched between the first plate portion and the second plate portion is not subjected to external force due to the displacement of the plate portion, and the contact lens is more stable between the two plate portions. Can be positioned and held.
 また、本態様において好適には、パッケージ内の収容領域の大きさが、レンズクリップにおける第一のプレート部と第二のプレート部との重ね合わせ方向において、コンタクトレンズの保存液中での平衡状態(外力が及ぼされていない浮遊状態)における光軸方向の高さ寸法より小さくされる。これにより、コンタクトレンズパッケージ自体の厚さ寸法が小さくされ得る。 Preferably, in this aspect, the size of the accommodation region in the package is an equilibrium state in the storage solution of the contact lens in the overlapping direction of the first plate portion and the second plate portion in the lens clip. It is made smaller than the height dimension in the optical axis direction (floating state where no external force is exerted). Thereby, the thickness dimension of the contact lens package itself can be reduced.

Since it can take out from an exterior body, use becomes easy. In addition, with the first plate portion and the second plate portion being overlaid and holding the contact lens, the lens clip can be picked with a finger and taken out of the bag without touching the contact lens. It is also possible to drain the storage solution, and the convenience can be improved.
 本発明の第十一の態様は、前記第一~十の何れかの態様に係るコンタクトレンズパッケージであって、前記第一のプレート部と前記第二のプレート部との一方において、それら第一のプレート部と第二のプレート部との他方に比して前記コンタクトレンズを挟む部位から外周側に相対的に大きく延び出して広がる突出板部が設けられているものである。 An eleventh aspect of the present invention is a contact lens package according to any one of the first to tenth aspects, wherein one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion is the first of them. Compared to the other of the plate portion and the second plate portion, a protruding plate portion is provided that extends and expands relatively large from the portion sandwiching the contact lens toward the outer peripheral side.
 本態様のコンタクトレンズパッケージでは、レンズクリップを開いてコンタクトレンズを取り出す作業が一層容易となる。即ち、パッケージ外装体から取り出したレンズクリップを、片方の手の指先で一方のプレート部の突出板部を摘んだ状態で、他方の手の指先で他方のプレート部を摘み挙げることで、クリップを開く操作を容易に行うことが出来る。 In the contact lens package of this aspect, it becomes easier to open the lens clip and take out the contact lens. That is, the lens clip taken out from the package exterior body is picked up by picking up the other plate part with the fingertip of the other hand while holding the protruding plate part of one plate part with the fingertip of one hand. The opening operation can be easily performed.
 上述の説明から明らかなように、本発明に従う構造とされたコンタクトレンズパッケージにおいては、コンタクトレンズが押圧変形された状態で収容されることから、薄型化によるコンパクト化が実現可能となり、それによって、多数のストックや携行の利便性が大幅に向上され得る。 As is clear from the above description, in the contact lens package having the structure according to the present invention, the contact lens is accommodated in a state of being pressed and deformed, so that it is possible to achieve a compact size by reducing the thickness. The convenience of carrying a large number of stocks and carrying can be greatly improved.
 しかも、コンタクトレンズを挟んで押圧状態で保持せしめ得るレンズクリップを採用したことにより、コンタクトレンズを押圧状態で安定して位置決めおよび保持することができるのであり、コンタクトレンズの変形に伴う悪影響を軽減乃至回避することが可能となる。 In addition, by adopting a lens clip that can be held in a pressed state with the contact lens sandwiched therebetween, the contact lens can be stably positioned and held in the pressed state, thereby reducing adverse effects associated with deformation of the contact lens.

 以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。図1~2には、本発明の一実施形態としてのコンタクトレンズパッケージ10が示されている。このコンタクトレンズパッケージ10は、袋状のパッケージ外装体12を有しており、パッケージ外装体12に保存液14が収容されて密封されている。また、パッケージ外装体12の中には、レンズクリップ16が収容されており、このレンズクリップ16でコンタクトレンズ18が保持された状態で、保存液14に浸漬されてパッケージ内に収容されている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a contact lens package 10 as one embodiment of the present invention. The contact lens package 10 has a bag-shaped package exterior body 12, and a storage solution 14 is accommodated in the package exterior body 12 and sealed. In addition, a lens clip 16 is accommodated in the package exterior body 12, and the contact lens 18 is held by the lens clip 16 so as to be immersed in the storage solution 14 and accommodated in the package.
 より詳細には、レンズクリップ16は、図3、4にも示されているように、全体として薄板の略平板形状とされている。このレンズクリップ16は、何れも平板形状とされた第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22とが、連結部23によって一体的に連結された構造とされている。 More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lens clip 16 has a thin plate shape as a whole. The lens clip 16 has a structure in which a first plate portion 20 and a second plate portion 22 each having a flat plate shape are integrally connected by a connecting portion 23.
 第一のプレート部20および第二のプレート部22は、何れも、連結部23による連結端側に、コンタクトレンズ18の正面形状より大きくされてコンタクトレンズ18が載置され得る大きさの押圧領域24,26を備えている。 Both the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are larger than the front shape of the contact lens 18 on the connecting end side by the connecting portion 23, and the pressing area has such a size that the contact lens 18 can be placed thereon. 24 and 26 are provided.
 また、第一のプレート部20および第二のプレート部22は、何れも、連結部23による連結方向(図3中の上下方向)において、押圧領域24,26からそれぞれ反対側に向かって延び出して摘み部28,30が形成されている。 Further, both the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 extend toward the opposite sides from the pressing regions 24 and 26 in the connecting direction by the connecting portion 23 (vertical direction in FIG. 3). The knobs 28 and 30 are formed.
 なお、第一のプレート部20の摘み部28は、第二のプレート部22の摘み部30に比して、幅広とされていると共に、連結部23の連結方向で外方に大きく延び出して広がっている。この摘み部28において、外方に大きく延び出した部分が突出板部32とされている。また、かかる突出板部32には、表裏に凹凸が付されて滑止め加工が施されている。 The knob portion 28 of the first plate portion 20 is wider than the knob portion 30 of the second plate portion 22, and greatly extends outward in the connecting direction of the connecting portion 23. It has spread. In the knob portion 28, a portion that greatly extends outward is a protruding plate portion 32. Further, the protruding plate part 32 is provided with unevenness on the front and back sides and is subjected to a non-slip process.
 さらに、連結部23は、小幅の板形状とされており、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22を各一方の端部間で直線的に連結している。この連結部23の長さ方向の中間部分には、幅方向の全長に亘って延びる薄肉のヒンジ部34が形成されており、このヒンジ部34において、連結部23の断面積が小さくされて屈曲変形容易とされている。 Furthermore, the connecting portion 23 has a narrow plate shape, and linearly connects the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 between each one end portion. A thin hinge 34 that extends over the entire length in the width direction is formed at an intermediate portion in the length direction of the connecting portion 23. In the hinge portion 34, the cross-sectional area of the connecting portion 23 is reduced and bent. It is easy to deform.
 そして、ヒンジ部34で折り曲げられることにより、図1~3に示されているように、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22とを、ヒンジ部34で折り返されるようにして重ね合わせることが出来るようになっている。これら第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22とを重ね合わせることで、各押圧領域24,26が重ね合わされて、かかる重ね合わせ面間にコンタクトレンズ18が挟まれて保持されるようになっている。要するに、本実施形態では、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22における各押圧領域24,26が、コンタクトレンズを挟む部位とされている。 Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are overlapped so as to be folded back at the hinge portion 34 by being bent at the hinge portion 34. It can be done. By superimposing the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22, the pressing regions 24 and 26 are overlapped so that the contact lens 18 is sandwiched and held between the overlapping surfaces. It has become. In short, in the present embodiment, the pressing regions 24 and 26 in the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are portions that sandwich the contact lens.
 また、第一のプレート部20の押圧領域24の重ね合わせ面には、位置決め係合部としての位置決め凹部36が形成されている。この位置決め凹部36は、コンタクトレンズ18の外径寸法(DIA)よりも僅かに大きな直径寸法を有する円形領域において、押圧領域24の重ね合わせ面の略中央に開口する凹所として形成されている。 Further, a positioning recess 36 as a positioning engagement portion is formed on the overlapping surface of the pressing region 24 of the first plate portion 20. The positioning recess 36 is formed as a recess that opens in the approximate center of the overlapping surface of the pressing region 24 in a circular region having a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter (DIA) of the contact lens 18.
 一方、第二のプレート部22の押圧領域26には、その略中央部分に円形状の貫通窓38が形成されている。要するに、レンズクリップ16がヒンジ部34で屈曲されて第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22が重ね合わされた際、貫通窓38が、位置決め凹部36の略中央に位置せしめられるようになっている。 On the other hand, a circular through window 38 is formed in a substantially central portion of the pressing region 26 of the second plate portion 22. In short, when the lens clip 16 is bent at the hinge portion 34 and the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are overlapped, the through window 38 is positioned substantially at the center of the positioning recess 36. ing.
 これにより、コンタクトレンズ18が、第一のプレート部20の位置決め凹部36に入れられて変位制限されることで略中央に位置決めされた状態で、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22の各押圧領域24,26間でレンズ軸方向(光軸方向)に挟まれて押圧変形状態で保持されている。また、コンタクトレンズ18において光学部が形成された中央部分は、第二のプレート部22の貫通窓38を通じて、外方に露出されており、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22の各押圧領域24,26間で挟まれた状態のまま、貫通窓38を通じて外部から視認可能とされている。 As a result, the contact lens 18 is placed in the positioning recess 36 of the first plate portion 20 and restricted in displacement, so that the first lens portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are positioned substantially at the center. The pressing regions 24 and 26 are sandwiched in the lens axis direction (optical axis direction) and held in a pressed deformation state. Further, the central portion of the contact lens 18 where the optical portion is formed is exposed to the outside through the through window 38 of the second plate portion 22, and the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are exposed. It is visible from the outside through the through window 38 while being sandwiched between the pressing regions 24 and 26.
 なお、好適には、コンタクトレンズ18は、第一のプレート部20の位置決め凹部36内で、レンズ凹面を位置決め凹部36の底面に向けた状態で配置され、光学部におけるレンズ凸面が第二のプレート部22の貫通窓38を通じて露呈された状態で保持される。これにより、コンタクトレンズ18のエッジ部の位置決め凹部36の外周段差への係合による位置決め作用が一層効果的に発揮される。しかも、光学部の凸面側への押圧力の作用が貫通窓38で軽減されることにより、光学部の変形に因る光学特性への悪影響の懸念が緩和乃至は回避され得る。 Preferably, the contact lens 18 is disposed in the positioning recess 36 of the first plate portion 20 with the lens concave surface facing the bottom surface of the positioning recess 36, and the lens convex surface in the optical portion is the second plate. It is held in an exposed state through the through window 38 of the portion 22. Thereby, the positioning effect | action by engagement with the outer periphery level | step difference of the positioning recessed part 36 of the edge part of the contact lens 18 is exhibited more effectively. In addition, since the action of the pressing force on the convex surface side of the optical part is reduced by the through window 38, the concern about the adverse effect on the optical characteristics due to the deformation of the optical part can be alleviated or avoided.
 さらに、コンタクトレンズ18を挟んで保持せしめた第一のプレート部20および第二のプレート部22は、コンタクトレンズ18の押圧領域24,26から外れた部分で、各摘み部28,30が重ね合わされている。そして、これら摘み部28,30の重ね合わせ部分を手の指先により重ね合わせ方向に挟んで摘むことにより、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22との間でコンタクトレンズ18への押圧力及び保持力を作用せしめつつ、レンズクリップ16を容易に摘んで持つことが出来るようになっている。 Further, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 held with the contact lens 18 interposed therebetween are portions that are separated from the pressing regions 24 and 26 of the contact lens 18, and the knob portions 28 and 30 are overlapped. ing. Then, by pressing the overlapping portions of the knob portions 28 and 30 with the fingertips of the hand in the overlapping direction, the contact lens 18 is pushed between the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22. The lens clip 16 can be easily picked and held while applying pressure and holding force.
 また、かかる摘み部28,30の重ね合わせ状態では、第一のプレート部20の摘み部28の突出板部32が第二のプレート部22の摘み部30から外方に延び出している。それ故、この突出板部32を片方の手の指先で摘みつつ、他方の手の指先で第二のプレート部22の摘み部30を持ち上げることにより、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22を容易に開くことができるようになっている。 Further, in the overlapped state of the knobs 28 and 30, the protruding plate part 32 of the knob 28 of the first plate part 20 extends outward from the knob 30 of the second plate part 22. Therefore, the first plate portion 20 and the second plate can be obtained by picking up the protruding plate portion 32 with the fingertip of one hand and lifting the picking portion 30 of the second plate portion 22 with the fingertip of the other hand. The part 22 can be easily opened.
 そして、このように第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22を開くことにより、第一のプレート部22と第二のプレート部24の間に挟まれていたコンタクトレンズ18の全体を露呈させ、手指で摘んで取り出し、使用することが出来るようになっている。特に本実施形態では、第二のプレート部22の押圧領域26へのコンタクトレンズ18の当接面積が、貫通窓38によって小さくされることにより、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22を開いた際に、コンタクトレンズ18が第一のプレート22の位置決め凹部36内に安定して位置せしめられ得るようになっている。 Then, by opening the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 in this manner, the entire contact lens 18 sandwiched between the first plate portion 22 and the second plate portion 24 is exposed. It can be used by picking it up with fingers. In particular, in the present embodiment, the contact area of the contact lens 18 with the pressing region 26 of the second plate portion 22 is reduced by the through window 38, so that the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22. When the lens is opened, the contact lens 18 can be stably positioned in the positioning recess 36 of the first plate 22.
 ところで、上述の如き構造とされたレンズクリップ16の材質は、特に限定されるものでなく、製作性やコスト、安定性や強度等を考慮して、ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリプロピレン、ポリアミド等の合成樹脂材料が好適に採用され得る。特に、かかるレンズクリップ16は、第一及び第二のプレート部20,22と連結部23とを一体的に備えた一体成形品として有利に形成され得る。また、コンタクトレンズパッケージ10の全体サイズをコンパクトにするために、レンズクリップ16を構成する第一及び第二のプレート部20,22等の各部位は、例えば0.3~1.5mm程度の厚さ寸法を有することが望ましいが、材質や要求される強度等に応じて適宜に設定され得る。 By the way, the material of the lens clip 16 having the above-described structure is not particularly limited, and in consideration of manufacturability, cost, stability, strength, etc., polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyamide, etc. A synthetic resin material can be suitably employed. In particular, the lens clip 16 can be advantageously formed as an integrally molded product integrally including the first and second plate portions 20 and 22 and the connecting portion 23. Further, in order to make the entire size of the contact lens package 10 compact, each part such as the first and second plate portions 20 and 22 constituting the lens clip 16 has a thickness of about 0.3 to 1.5 mm, for example. Although it is desirable to have a size, it can be appropriately set according to the material, required strength, and the like.
 一方、上述の如きレンズクリップ16を収容するパッケージ外装体12は、例えば硬質の樹脂ケース等で構成することも可能であるが、本実施形態では、それぞれフィルム状の第一のシート40と第二のシート42を重ね合わせて、それらの外周縁部44を溶着等して封止することによって構成されている。 On the other hand, the package exterior body 12 that accommodates the lens clip 16 as described above can be constituted by, for example, a hard resin case or the like, but in the present embodiment, the film-like first sheet 40 and the second sheet 40 are respectively formed. These sheets 42 are overlapped and their outer peripheral edge portions 44 are sealed by welding or the like.
 なお、第一のシート40及び第二のシート42は、硬質の樹脂フィルムやアルミニウム合金等の金属シート等を用いることも可能であるが、好適には薄肉で可撓性を有する軟質樹脂フィルムやアルミニウム層にポリプロピレン等の樹脂層を被着したラミネートフィルムなどが採用され得る。即ち、収容されるコンタクトレンズ18は、上述のように、好適には第一のシート40および第二のシート42に比して大きな剛性の第一のプレート部20および第二のプレート部22を有するレンズクリップ16で保持されてパッケージ外装体12に収容されることとなる。そのため、第一及び第二のシート40,42にはコンタクトレンズ18に対する大きな保護強度が要求されることがなく、取扱いや製造、開封等が容易な軟質のフィルム材料が好適に採用され得る。 The first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 may be a hard resin film or a metal sheet such as an aluminum alloy, but are preferably a thin and flexible soft resin film or the like. A laminated film in which a resin layer such as polypropylene is attached to the aluminum layer may be employed. That is, the contact lens 18 to be accommodated preferably includes the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 which are preferably rigid as compared with the first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 as described above. It is held by the lens clip 16 and is accommodated in the package exterior body 12. Therefore, the first and second sheets 40 and 42 are not required to have a high protective strength against the contact lens 18, and a soft film material that can be easily handled, manufactured, opened, and the like can be suitably used.
 また、第一のシート40及び第二のシート42は、全体又は部分的に透明としても良い。少なくとも一部が透明とされた第一及び第二のシート40,42を採用することで、レンズクリップ16等が収容されていることを確認可能としたり、レンズクリップ16の貫通窓38を通じてコンタクトレンズ18の存在を確認可能とすることも出来る。 Further, the first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 may be entirely or partially transparent. By employing the first and second sheets 40 and 42 that are at least partially transparent, it is possible to confirm that the lens clip 16 or the like is accommodated, or the contact lens through the through window 38 of the lens clip 16. The presence of 18 can be confirmed.
 そして、第一のシート40と第二のシート42は、外周縁部44,44を封止されて密封された袋構造とされる前に、コンタクトレンズ18を保持せしめたレンズクリップ16と適量の保存液14とを、内部に収容させる。例えば、第一のシート40と第二のシート42とを、外周縁部の一部を残して溶着した段階で、溶着していない開口部分を通じてレンズクリップ16と保存液14を入れ、その後にかかる開口部分を溶着して密封することにより、レンズクリップ16の外周部分が封止されて、目的とするコンタクトレンズパッケージ10が製造され得る。 The first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 have a proper amount of the lens clip 16 holding the contact lens 18 and an appropriate amount before the outer peripheral edge portions 44 and 44 are sealed to form a sealed bag structure. The preservation solution 14 is contained inside. For example, at the stage where the first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 are welded, leaving a part of the outer peripheral edge, the lens clip 16 and the storage solution 14 are put through the unwelded opening, and then applied. The outer peripheral portion of the lens clip 16 is sealed by welding and sealing the opening portion, and the target contact lens package 10 can be manufactured.
 なお、パッケージ内に封入される保存液14は、従来から公知のとおり収容するコンタクトレンズ18の材質等に応じて、適宜に選定され得る。また、パッケージ外装体12を封止した後、必要に応じて紫外線や電磁波、加熱等による殺菌処理が施され得る。 In addition, the preservation | save liquid 14 enclosed in a package can be suitably selected according to the material etc. of the contact lens 18 accommodated as conventionally well-known. Moreover, after sealing the package exterior body 12, sterilization treatment by ultraviolet rays, electromagnetic waves, heating, or the like may be performed as necessary.
 このような構造とされたコンタクトレンズパッケージ10では、コンタクトレンズ18が光軸方向で小さく押圧された圧縮状態で収容されており、コンタクトレンズを非圧縮の浮遊状態(平衡状態)で浸漬保存せしめた従来構造のブリスターパッケージに比して、厚さ寸法を大幅に小さくできる。しかも、コンタクトレンズ18が、レンズクリップ16によって所定の圧縮状態に安定して保持されることから、パッケージ外装体12の外部から及ぼされる外力からも保護され得る。 In the contact lens package 10 having such a structure, the contact lens 18 is accommodated in a compressed state in which the contact lens 18 is pressed slightly in the optical axis direction, and the contact lens is immersed and stored in an uncompressed floating state (equilibrium state). Compared with a blister package having a conventional structure, the thickness dimension can be greatly reduced. Moreover, since the contact lens 18 is stably held in a predetermined compressed state by the lens clip 16, it can be protected from an external force exerted from the outside of the package exterior body 12.
 特に本実施形態では、レンズクリップ16の第一のプレート部20の外面にパッケージ外装体12の第一のシート40が直接に当接状態で重ね合わされる一方、レンズクリップ16の第二のプレート部22の外面にパッケージ外装体12の第二のシート42が直接に当接状態で重ね合わされている。そして、第一のシート40と第二のシート42を介して及ぼされる大気圧が、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22とに対して重ね合わせ方向への押圧力として及ぼされることにより、レンズクリップ16によるコンタクトレンズ18の押圧保持状態を維持する係止手段が構成されている。 In particular, in the present embodiment, the first sheet 40 of the package exterior body 12 is directly superimposed on the outer surface of the first plate portion 20 of the lens clip 16 while being in contact with the second plate portion of the lens clip 16. The second sheet 42 of the package outer package 12 is directly overlapped with the outer surface of the package 22 in a contact state. The atmospheric pressure exerted via the first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42 is exerted as a pressing force in the overlapping direction on the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22. Thus, a locking means for maintaining the pressed holding state of the contact lens 18 by the lens clip 16 is configured.
 それ故、レンズクリップ16において第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22を重ね合わせ状態に保持せしめる係止構造を特別に設ける必要もなく、簡単な構造をもって、レンズクリップ16によるコンタクトレンズ18の保持状態を安定して維持することが可能となる。尤も、第一のプレート部20と第二のプレート部22において重ね合わされた状態で各対応する位置に、互いに係合や圧入等される凹部と凸部を形成する等して、両プレート部20,22を重ね合わせ状態に保持する機械的な係止手段を設けることも可能である。 Therefore, there is no need to provide a special locking structure for holding the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 in an overlapped state in the lens clip 16, and the contact lens 18 by the lens clip 16 has a simple structure. It is possible to stably maintain the holding state. However, the two plate portions 20 are formed by forming a concave portion and a convex portion that are engaged and press-fitted with each other at the corresponding positions in the state where the first plate portion 20 and the second plate portion 22 are overlapped. , 22 can also be provided with mechanical locking means for holding them in an overlapped state.
 また、本実施形態では、上述のように何れもフィルム形状とされた第一のシート40と第二のシート42の間にレンズクリップ16を直接に挟み込んだパッケージ外装体12が採用されていることから、コンタクトレンズパッケージ10の全体厚さ寸法を一層小さくすることが出来る。それ故、パスケースに入れて容易に且つ安全に携行することも出来るし、多数を重ね合わせて小さな箱等のケース内に効率良く収納しておくことも可能となる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the package exterior body 12 in which the lens clip 16 is directly sandwiched between the first sheet 40 and the second sheet 42, both of which are film-shaped as described above, is employed. Thus, the overall thickness dimension of the contact lens package 10 can be further reduced. Therefore, it can be easily and safely carried in a pass case, and a large number can be stacked and efficiently stored in a case such as a small box.
 さらに、何れもフィルム形状とされた軟質の第一及び第二のシート40,42を重ね合わせて外周縁部44を封止することによって構成されたパッケージ外装体12を採用したことにより、使用に際して、手指で裁断してパッケージ外装体12を開封することも可能となる。なお、手指での開封を一層容易とするために、パッケージ外装体12の外周縁部44に対して、裁断開始部となる切込み46を入れておくことが望ましい。 Furthermore, the use of the package outer package 12 configured by sealing the outer peripheral edge portion 44 by overlapping the first and second soft sheets 40 and 42 each having a film shape, It is also possible to open the package outer package 12 by cutting with fingers. In order to make the opening with fingers easier, it is desirable to make a cut 46 as a cutting start portion in the outer peripheral edge portion 44 of the package exterior body 12.
