Such a syringe storage container includes a box-shaped container body having an upper surface opened, and a holder that holds a plurality of syringes in an upright state.
　容器本体の内側には、保持具を支持する棚状部分が設けられている。保持具は、複数の貫通孔を有する板状に形成されており、シリンジを保持具の貫通孔に差し入れて、シリンジ端部に設けたフランジ部分を貫通孔の周縁部に引っ掛けることで、シリンジが保持具に保持される。このようなシリンジ収納容器を用いると、複数のシリンジを直立に、かつ、薬液の充填口を上向きにした状態で保持することができる。 A shelf-like part that supports the holder is provided inside the container body. The holder is formed in a plate shape having a plurality of through holes, and the syringe is inserted by inserting the syringe into the through hole of the holder and hooking the flange portion provided at the syringe end to the peripheral edge of the through hole. It is held by the holder. When such a syringe storage container is used, it is possible to hold a plurality of syringes upright and in a state where the filling port for the chemical solution is directed upward.
　一般的に、シリンジの製造は、薬液を充填する場所とは異なる場所で行われる。シリンジを製造する場所では、製造したシリンジをシリンジ収納容器に収容し、滅菌処理した後に、シリンジ収納容器を封止する。そして、シリンジが収納されたシリンジ収納容器は、薬液を充填する場所へ搬送される。薬液を充填する場所では、シリンジ収納容器の封止を開放して、複数のシリンジが保持されている保持具を容器本体から取り出し、薬液の充填装置へセットする。その後、シリンジに薬液を充填する。 Generally, the syringe is manufactured at a place different from the place where the chemical solution is filled. In a place where a syringe is manufactured, the manufactured syringe is accommodated in a syringe storage container, sterilized, and then the syringe storage container is sealed. And the syringe storage container in which the syringe was accommodated is conveyed to the place filled with a chemical | medical solution. In the place where the chemical solution is filled, the seal of the syringe storage container is opened, the holder holding the plurality of syringes is taken out from the container body, and set in the chemical solution filling device. Thereafter, the syringe is filled with the chemical solution.
　シリンジ収納容器の封止については、例えば、特許文献１に記載されている。特許文献１に記載された医療用パッケージングは、内容物を収納する槽と、この槽を封止する蓋を備えている。槽には、蓋をシールするためのフランジが設けられており、蓋の周縁部には、槽のフランジに接着されるプラスチックフィルムが取り付けられている。このプラスチックフィルムは、例えば、熱融着によりフランジに剥離可能に接着される。 About sealing of a syringe storage container, it describes in the patent document 1, for example. The medical packaging described in Patent Document 1 includes a tank for storing contents and a lid for sealing the tank. The tank is provided with a flange for sealing the lid, and a plastic film that is bonded to the flange of the tank is attached to the periphery of the lid. This plastic film is detachably bonded to the flange by, for example, heat sealing.
特表２００４－５１４４７６号公報JP-T-2004-514476
　しかしながら、特許文献１に記載された医療用パッケージングでは、プラスチックフィルムに接触するフランジの上面が平面に形成されていた。そのため、プラスチックフィルムをフランジに熱融着させる場合には、その融着（シール）部分の形状及び面積に応じた押圧部が設けられた金型を用意する必要があった。 However, in the medical packaging described in Patent Document 1, the upper surface of the flange that comes into contact with the plastic film is formed flat. Therefore, when the plastic film is heat-sealed to the flange, it is necessary to prepare a mold provided with a pressing portion corresponding to the shape and area of the fusion (seal) portion.
　槽から蓋を取り外す際にシールを剥がれ易くするには、融着部分の外周の輪郭をフランジの上面の外周の輪郭よりも小さくした方が良い。したがって、一般的に、金型の押圧部の外周の輪郭は、フランジの上面の外周の輪郭よりも小さく形成される。しかし、金型の押圧部が蓋及び槽に対してずれていると、シール不良が発生し、シールの強度を確保できなくなる。したがって、槽及び蓋に対して金型を正確に位置決めする必要があった。 In order to easily peel off the seal when removing the lid from the tank, it is better to make the outer contour of the fused portion smaller than the outer contour of the upper surface of the flange. Accordingly, in general, the outer contour of the pressing portion of the mold is formed smaller than the outer contour of the upper surface of the flange. However, if the pressing portion of the mold is displaced with respect to the lid and the tank, a sealing failure occurs and the strength of the seal cannot be ensured. Therefore, it was necessary to accurately position the mold with respect to the tank and the lid.
　本発明は、上述の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、金型の押圧部を槽（容器本体）と蓋（封止部材）の融着部分に応じた形状にする必要が無く、且つ、金型の位置決めを正確に行う必要が無いシリンジ収納容器及びシリンジ梱包体を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is not necessary to make the pressing part of the mold into a shape corresponding to the fusion part of the tank (container body) and the lid (sealing member), and An object of the present invention is to provide a syringe storage container and a syringe package that do not require accurate positioning of the mold.
　上記課題を解決し、本発明の目的を達成するため、本発明のシリンジ収納容器は、容器本体と、シリンジ保持部材とを備えている。
　容器本体は、下端に底部と、底部の周囲に連続し、上端に向かって延びる周壁部と、周壁部の上端に連続するフランジと、フランジに囲まれた開口部とを有する。
　シリンジ保持部材は、容器本体における周壁部の内面に係合して容器本体の底部に対向し、シリンジの充填口が上端向きになるようにシリンジを保持する。
　そして、容器本体のフランジは、上端向きの上面及び下端向きの下面を有しており、フランジの上面には、開口部を囲むように設けられ、開口部を封止する封止部材が熱融着される無端状の突条部が形成されている。 In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the present invention, the syringe storage container of the present invention includes a container body and a syringe holding member.
The container main body has a bottom at the lower end, a peripheral wall that extends around the bottom and extends toward the upper end, a flange that continues to the upper end of the peripheral wall, and an opening surrounded by the flange.
The syringe holding member engages with the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion of the container main body, faces the bottom of the container main body, and holds the syringe so that the filling port of the syringe faces the upper end.
The flange of the container main body has an upper surface facing the upper end and a lower surface facing the lower end. The flange is provided on the upper surface of the flange so as to surround the opening, and a sealing member for sealing the opening is thermally fused. An endless ridge to be worn is formed.
　また、本発明のシリンジ梱包体は、容器本体と、シリンジ保持部材と、シリンジと、封止部材とを備えている。
　容器本体は、下端に底部と、底部の周囲に連続し、上端に向かって延びる周壁部と、周壁部の上端に連続するフランジと、フランジに囲まれた開口部とを有する。
　シリンジ保持部材は、容器本体における周壁部の内面に係合して容器本体の底部に対向し、シリンジの充填口が上端向きになるようにシリンジを保持する。
　シリンジは、シリンジ保持部材に保持され、容器本体に収納されている。
　封止部材は、容器本体のフランジに熱融着され、容器本体の開口部を封止する。
　そして、容器本体のフランジは、上端向きの上面及び下端向きの下面を有しており、フランジの上面には、開口部を囲むように設けられ、封止部材が熱融着される無端状の突条部が形成されている。 Moreover, the syringe package of the present invention includes a container body, a syringe holding member, a syringe, and a sealing member.
The container main body has a bottom at the lower end, a peripheral wall that extends around the bottom and extends toward the upper end, a flange that continues to the upper end of the peripheral wall, and an opening surrounded by the flange.
The syringe holding member engages with the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion of the container main body, faces the bottom of the container main body, and holds the syringe so that the filling port of the syringe faces the upper end.
The syringe is held by a syringe holding member and stored in the container body.
The sealing member is heat-sealed to the flange of the container body, and seals the opening of the container body.
The flange of the container body has an upper surface facing the upper end and a lower surface facing the lower end, and is provided on the upper surface of the flange so as to surround the opening, and an endless shape on which the sealing member is heat-sealed. A ridge is formed.
　本発明のシリンジ収納容器及びシリンジ梱包体では、フランジの上面に無端状の突条部が形成されており、この突条部に封止部材が熱融着される。そのため、封止部材と容器本体の融着部分（シール部分）は、常に所定の位置に形成される。したがって、融着部分に応じた形状の押圧部を金型に設ける必要が無い。 In the syringe storage container and the syringe package of the present invention, an endless protrusion is formed on the upper surface of the flange, and the sealing member is heat-sealed to the protrusion. Therefore, the fusion member (sealing part) between the sealing member and the container body is always formed at a predetermined position. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a pressing part having a shape corresponding to the fused part in the mold.
　また、金型に突条部よりも大きい面積の押圧部を設ければ、容器本体に対して金型を正確に位置決めしなくても、封止部材の突条部に対向する領域に熱を加えることができ、封止部材を容器本体に容易に融着することができる。さらに、融着（シール）不良の発生を防止あるいは抑制することができる。 Further, if a pressing portion having a larger area than the protruding portion is provided in the mold, heat is applied to the region facing the protruding portion of the sealing member without accurately positioning the mold with respect to the container body. The sealing member can be easily fused to the container body. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent or suppress the occurrence of defective fusion (seal).

１．シリンジ収納容器
［シリンジ収納容器の構成］
　まず、第１の実施の形態に係るシリンジ収納容器の構成について、図１及び図２を参照して説明する。
　図１は、第１の実施の形態に係るシリンジ収納容器の斜視図である。図２は、第１の実施の形態に係るシリンジ収納容器の縦断面図である。 1. Syringe container [Configuration of syringe container]
First, the configuration of the syringe container according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the syringe container according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the syringe storage container according to the first embodiment.
　シリンジ収納容器１は、複数のシリンジ１０を同時に搬送、保管する場合に用いる。このシリンジ収納容器１は、複数のシリンジ１０を保持するシリンジ保持部材３０と、複数のシリンジ１０を保持したシリンジ保持部材３０を収納する容器本体４０とを備えている。 The syringe storage container 1 is used when simultaneously transporting and storing a plurality of syringes 10. The syringe storage container 1 includes a syringe holding member 30 that holds a plurality of syringes 10 and a container body 40 that stores a syringe holding member 30 that holds a plurality of syringes 10.
　シリンジ１０は、中空の円筒体からなるシリンジ本体１１と、このシリンジ本体１１の先端側に形成された排出部１２と、排出部１２に固定された針管１３とを有している。つまり、本実施の形態のシリンジ収納容器１は、針付きのシリンジ１０を収納する。シリンジ本体１１の内部には、充填された薬液を貯留する液室が形成されている。また、シリンジ本体１１の排出部１２と反対側である基端側には、シリンジ本体１１の液室に薬液を充填するための充填口１５が形成されている。 The syringe 10 has a syringe body 11 made of a hollow cylindrical body, a discharge portion 12 formed on the distal end side of the syringe body 11, and a needle tube 13 fixed to the discharge portion 12. That is, the syringe storage container 1 of the present embodiment stores the syringe 10 with a needle. Inside the syringe body 11, a liquid chamber for storing the filled chemical liquid is formed. A filling port 15 for filling the liquid chamber of the syringe main body 11 with a chemical solution is formed on the base end side opposite to the discharge portion 12 of the syringe main body 11.
　シリンジ本体１１の充填口１５の周囲には、外周の輪郭が楕円状に形成されたフランジ部１６が設けられている。このフランジ部１６は、シリンジ保持部材３０に係合する。なお、フランジ部１６の形状は、本実施形態の楕円状に限られず、例えば、円環状であってもよい。 Around the filling port 15 of the syringe body 11, a flange portion 16 having an outer peripheral contour formed in an elliptical shape is provided. The flange portion 16 engages with the syringe holding member 30. In addition, the shape of the flange part 16 is not restricted to the elliptical shape of this embodiment, For example, an annular shape may be sufficient.
　排出部１２には、キャップ部材２０が装着されている。キャップ部材２０は、略円筒状に形成されており、軸方向の一端が開口し、軸方向の他端が閉じている。このキャップ部材２０は、排出部１２及び排出部１２から突出する針管１３を覆う。キャップ部材２０の材料としては、例えば、ゴムやエラストマー等の弾性部材が挙げられる。
　シリンジ１０は、排出部１２にキャップ部材２０を装着した状態で、シリンジ保持部材３０に設けられた貫通孔３１ａに挿入されて、シリンジ保持部材３０に保持される。 A cap member 20 is attached to the discharge portion 12. The cap member 20 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and one end in the axial direction is open and the other end in the axial direction is closed. The cap member 20 covers the discharge portion 12 and the needle tube 13 protruding from the discharge portion 12. Examples of the material of the cap member 20 include elastic members such as rubber and elastomer.
The syringe 10 is inserted into the through-hole 31 a provided in the syringe holding member 30 with the cap member 20 attached to the discharge unit 12, and is held by the syringe holding member 30.
［シリンジ保持部材］
　シリンジ保持部材３０は、充填口１５が上向きになるようにシリンジ１０を保持する。このシリンジ保持部材３０は、容器本体４０の後述する載置棚４４に載置され、容器本体４０の後述する底部４１に対向する。 [Syringe holding member]
The syringe holding member 30 holds the syringe 10 so that the filling port 15 faces upward. The syringe holding member 30 is placed on a mounting shelf 44 (described later) of the container body 40 and faces a bottom 41 (described later) of the container body 40.
　シリンジ保持部材３０は、矩形で平板状のベース板３１と、ベース板３１の一方の面から突出する筒部３２とを有している。図２に示すように、ベース板３１には、シリンジ１０を挿入するための複数の貫通孔３１ａが設けられている。この貫通孔３１ａは、円形に形成さており、その直径は、シリンジ１０におけるシリンジ本体１１の外径よりも大きい。 The syringe holding member 30 has a rectangular and flat base plate 31 and a cylindrical portion 32 protruding from one surface of the base plate 31. As shown in FIG. 2, the base plate 31 is provided with a plurality of through holes 31 a for inserting the syringe 10. The through hole 31 a is formed in a circular shape, and its diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the syringe body 11 in the syringe 10.
　複数の貫通孔３１ａは、ベース板３１上に千鳥状に配置されている。これにより、隣り合う貫通孔３１ａ間の距離が等しくなるので、シリンジ収納容器１の搬送中に、隣り合うシリンジ１０が接触することを抑えることができる。 The plurality of through holes 31 a are arranged in a staggered pattern on the base plate 31. Thereby, since the distance between the adjacent through-holes 31a becomes equal, it can suppress that the adjacent syringe 10 contacts during conveyance of the syringe storage container 1. FIG.
　また、ベース板３１の対向する２辺には、それぞれ切り欠き３１ｂが形成されている。使用者は、切り欠き３１ｂに指を挿入して、容器本体４０に係止されたシリンジ保持部材３０を簡単に取り外すことができる。 Further, notches 31b are formed in two opposing sides of the base plate 31, respectively. The user can easily remove the syringe holding member 30 locked to the container body 40 by inserting a finger into the notch 31b.
　筒部３２は、ベース板３１の貫通孔３１ａを覆うように形成されており、シリンジ１０を挿入するための筒孔３２ａを有している。この筒孔３２ａは、貫通孔３１ａに連通している。筒孔３２ａの径は、貫通孔３１ａの径と略等しい。そして、シリンジ１０のフランジ部１６は、その外径の少なくとも一部が筒孔３２ａの直径よりも大きく形成されている。そのため、筒孔３２ａ及び貫通孔３１ａに挿入されたシリンジ１０のフランジ部１６は、筒部３２の上端部に載置される。 The cylinder part 32 is formed so as to cover the through hole 31 a of the base plate 31, and has a cylinder hole 32 a for inserting the syringe 10. The cylindrical hole 32a communicates with the through hole 31a. The diameter of the cylindrical hole 32a is substantially equal to the diameter of the through hole 31a. The flange portion 16 of the syringe 10 is formed such that at least a part of its outer diameter is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical hole 32a. Therefore, the flange portion 16 of the syringe 10 inserted into the cylindrical hole 32 a and the through hole 31 a is placed on the upper end portion of the cylindrical portion 32.
［容器本体］
　次に、容器本体４０について、図３を参照して説明する。
　図３は、容器本体４０の斜視図である。 [Container body]
Next, the container body 40 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the container body 40.
　図３に示すように、容器本体４０は、底部４１と、底部４１の周囲に連続する周壁部４２と、周壁部４２の上端に連続するフランジ４３と、フランジ４３に囲まれた開口部４０ａを有している。 As shown in FIG. 3, the container body 40 includes a bottom portion 41, a peripheral wall portion 42 that continues around the bottom portion 41, a flange 43 that continues to the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 42, and an opening 40 a surrounded by the flange 43.

　底部４１は、略矩形の板状に形成されており、容器本体４０の下端を構成する。底部４１における内面４１ａの大きさは、シリンジ保持部材３０におけるベース板３１よりも小さく形成されている。 The bottom 41 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape and constitutes the lower end of the container body 40. The size of the inner surface 41 a in the bottom 41 is smaller than the base plate 31 in the syringe holding member 30.
　周壁部４２は、上方（上端）に向かって延びるように形成されている。周壁部４２の内壁面には、シリンジ保持部材３０を載置する載置棚４４が設けられている。載置棚４４は、周壁部４２の縦断面形状をクランク状にすることで形成されており、底部４１の内面４１ａと平行な平面４４ａを有している。載置棚４４の平面４４ａは、底部４１の内面４１ａから一定の高さであって、周壁部４２の内壁面に沿って連続している。 The peripheral wall portion 42 is formed to extend upward (upper end). A mounting shelf 44 for mounting the syringe holding member 30 is provided on the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 42. The mounting shelf 44 is formed by making the longitudinal sectional shape of the peripheral wall portion 42 into a crank shape, and has a flat surface 44 a parallel to the inner surface 41 a of the bottom portion 41. The flat surface 44 a of the mounting shelf 44 has a constant height from the inner surface 41 a of the bottom portion 41 and is continuous along the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 42.
　周壁部４２の載置棚４４よりも上側であって上端部を形成する部分の内周の輪郭は、周壁部４２の載置棚４４よりも下側であって底部４１に連続する部分の内周の輪郭よりも大きい。そして、シリンジ保持部材３０のベース板３１の外周の輪郭は、周壁部４２の載置棚４４よりも上側であって上端部を形成する部分の内周の輪郭と略等しく形成されている。 The contour of the inner circumference of the portion of the peripheral wall portion 42 that is above the mounting shelf 44 and that forms the upper end is lower than the mounting shelf 44 of the peripheral wall portion 42 and is continuous with the bottom portion 41. It is larger than the contour of the circumference. The contour of the outer periphery of the base plate 31 of the syringe holding member 30 is formed to be substantially equal to the contour of the inner periphery of the portion that forms the upper end portion above the mounting shelf 44 of the peripheral wall portion 42.
　フランジ４３は、周壁部４２の上端に略直交しており、四角形の枠状に形成されている。このフランジ４３は、上端向きの上面４３ａと、下端向きの下面４３ｂを有している。この上面４３ａ及び下面４３ｂは、平面に形成されている。そして、フランジ４３の上面４３ａには、突条部４５が形成されている。 The flange 43 is substantially orthogonal to the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 42 and is formed in a rectangular frame shape. The flange 43 has an upper surface 43a facing the upper end and a lower surface 43b facing the lower end. The upper surface 43a and the lower surface 43b are formed in a plane. A protrusion 45 is formed on the upper surface 43 a of the flange 43.
　突条部４５は、開口部４０ａを囲むように設けられており、フランジ４３に沿って無端状に形成されている。つまり、突条部４５は、フランジ４３の全周に亘って形成されている。この突条部４５には、後述する封止部材５０（図４及び図５参照）が融着される。突条部４５の幅は、フランジ４３の幅よりも小さく設定されている。突条部４５の幅としては、封止部材５０を確実に融着させてシリンジ収納容器内を密閉することを考慮すると、２～１０ｍｍが好ましい。また、突条部４５の高さは、０．２～０．５ｍｍ以上が好ましい。 The protrusion 45 is provided so as to surround the opening 40 a and is formed endlessly along the flange 43. That is, the protrusion 45 is formed over the entire circumference of the flange 43. A sealing member 50 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5), which will be described later, is fused to the protrusion 45. The width of the protrusion 45 is set to be smaller than the width of the flange 43. The width of the protrusion 45 is preferably 2 to 10 mm in consideration of sealing the inside of the syringe container by securely fusing the sealing member 50. The height of the protrusion 45 is preferably 0.2 to 0.5 mm or more.
　突条部４５の外周の輪郭は、フランジ４３の外周の輪郭よりも小さい。このため、封止部材５０を突条部４５に載せた際に、封止部材５０が容器本体４０の開口部４０ａに向かって撓みにくくなり、封止部材５０が突条部４５に確実に載るため、封止部材５０を確実に融着させることができる。また、封止部材５０を剥す際に、フランジ４３における突条部４５よりも外側の上面を押さえることができるため、封止部材５０を剥がし易くなる。 The outer contour of the ridge 45 is smaller than the outer contour of the flange 43. For this reason, when the sealing member 50 is placed on the ridge 45, the sealing member 50 is less likely to bend toward the opening 40 a of the container body 40, and the sealing member 50 is reliably placed on the ridge 45. Therefore, the sealing member 50 can be reliably fused. In addition, when the sealing member 50 is peeled off, the upper surface of the flange 43 outside the protruding portion 45 can be pressed, so that the sealing member 50 is easily peeled off.
　突条部４５の内周の輪郭は、周壁部４２の上端における外周の輪郭よりも大きい。このため、封止部材５０を熱融着する際に、突条部４５の真下を受け冶具１０１（図６参照）で支えることができるため、封止部材５０を突条部４５に確実に融着できる。 The contour of the inner periphery of the ridge 45 is larger than the contour of the outer periphery at the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 42. For this reason, when the sealing member 50 is heat-sealed, the sealing member 50 can be securely bonded to the protrusion 45 because the jig 101 (see FIG. 6) can be received directly below the protrusion 45. I can wear it.
　また、突条部４５は、角形状４５ａを有している。この角形状４５ａは、フランジ４３の４つの角部に配置されており、それぞれフランジ４３の角部と略等しい直角に形成されている。この角形状４５ａには、封止部材５０を容器本体４０から剥がす際に、応力が集中する。その結果、封止部材５０は、角形状４５ａから剥がれ易くなる。また、角形状４５ａがフランジ４３の四隅にあるため、封止部材５０を剥す際に、常に、決まったところから剥がすことができる。そして、封止部材５０がフランジ４３の四隅以外から意図せずに剥がれることは無い。 Further, the protrusion 45 has a square shape 45a. The square shapes 45 a are arranged at the four corners of the flange 43, and are formed at right angles substantially equal to the corners of the flange 43. When the sealing member 50 is peeled from the container body 40, stress is concentrated on the square shape 45a. As a result, the sealing member 50 is easily peeled off from the square shape 45a. Moreover, since the square shape 45a exists in the four corners of the flange 43, when peeling off the sealing member 50, it can always peel off from the fixed place. The sealing member 50 is not unintentionally peeled from other than the four corners of the flange 43.
　容器本体４０及びシリンジ保持部材３０は、高圧蒸気滅菌（オートクレーブ）やＥＯＧ（エチレンオキサイドガス）滅菌等の高温の蒸気やガスを用いた滅菌処理によって変性しないことが好ましい。これら容器本体４０及びシリンジ保持部材３０の材料としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン、ポリエチレン、ポリカーボネート、ＡＢＳ樹脂、ＰＥＴ等の耐久性に優れた樹脂が挙げられる。また、容器本体４０及びシリンジ保持部材３０は、容器本体４０の内部の視認性を確保するために、実質的に透明あるいは半透明であることが好まく、このような材料としては、上記樹脂のうち、ポリカーボネートやポリスチレン、ＰＥＴが挙げられる。 The container body 40 and the syringe holding member 30 are preferably not denatured by sterilization using high-temperature steam or gas such as high-pressure steam sterilization (autoclave) or EOG (ethylene oxide gas) sterilization. Examples of materials for the container body 40 and the syringe holding member 30 include resins having excellent durability such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, ABS resin, and PET. The container main body 40 and the syringe holding member 30 are preferably substantially transparent or translucent in order to ensure the visibility inside the container main body 40. Among these, polycarbonate, polystyrene, and PET are listed.
２．シリンジ梱包体
［シリンジ梱包体の構成］
　次に、本発明のシリンジ梱包体について、図４及び図５を参照して説明する。
　図４は、上述したシリンジ収納容器１に封止部材５０を融着してシリンジ梱包体を組み立てた状態の斜視図である。図５は、シリンジ収納容器１と封止部材５０との融着状態を示す説明図である。 2. Syringe package [Syringe package structure]
Next, the syringe package of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a state in which the sealing member 50 is fused to the syringe storage container 1 and the syringe package is assembled. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a fused state between the syringe container 1 and the sealing member 50.
　図４に示すように、シリンジ梱包体８０は、シリンジ収納容器１と、シリンジ収納容器１のシリンジ保持部材３０に保持されたシリンジ１０と、シリンジ収納容器１における容器本体４０の開口部４０ａを封止する封止部材５０とを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the syringe package 80 seals the syringe storage container 1, the syringe 10 held by the syringe holding member 30 of the syringe storage container 1, and the opening 40 a of the container main body 40 in the syringe storage container 1. And a sealing member 50 to be stopped.
　封止部材５０は、フランジ４３の外周の輪郭と略等しい四角形に形成されている。つまり、フランジ４３に設けた突条部４５の外周の輪郭は、封止部材５０の外周の輪郭よりも小さく形成されている。封止部材５０は、容器本体４０のフランジ４３に熱融着される。具体的には、フランジ４３の突条部４５に熱融着される。 The sealing member 50 is formed in a quadrangle substantially equal to the contour of the outer periphery of the flange 43. That is, the contour of the outer periphery of the protrusion 45 provided on the flange 43 is formed smaller than the contour of the outer periphery of the sealing member 50. The sealing member 50 is heat-sealed to the flange 43 of the container body 40. Specifically, it is heat-sealed to the protrusion 45 of the flange 43.
　封止部材５０は、滅菌のための気体が透過可能であって、菌やウィルスなどの微粒子が透過不可能であることが好ましい。この封止部材５０の材料としては、例えば、デュポン社の高密度ポリエチレン不織布であるタイベック（登録商標）が挙げられる。なお、高密度ポリエチレン不織布によって形成した封止部材５０は、不透明になる。 The sealing member 50 is preferably permeable to gas for sterilization and not permeable to fine particles such as bacteria and viruses. Examples of the material of the sealing member 50 include Tyvek (registered trademark), which is a high-density polyethylene nonwoven fabric manufactured by DuPont. In addition, the sealing member 50 formed with the high density polyethylene nonwoven fabric becomes opaque.
　図５に示すように、封止部材５０は、容器本体４０のフランジ４３に設けた突条部４５に当接される。その後、封止部材５０と突条部４５の当接部分が型によって温められ、両者が熱融着される。そのため、容器本体４０の常に同じ位置に融着部（シール部）を形成することができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the sealing member 50 is brought into contact with a protrusion 45 provided on the flange 43 of the container body 40. Thereafter, the contact portion between the sealing member 50 and the protrusion 45 is warmed by the mold, and both are heat-sealed. Therefore, a fusion | melting part (sealing part) can be formed in the same position of the container main body 40 always.
　なお、突条部４５と封止部材５０を熱融着する際に、加える熱量を多くして、突条部４５と封止部材５０とを溶け合わせることで、融着部分を透明または半透明にしてもよい。これにより、不透明な封止部材５０のうち突条部４５との融着部分のみが透明または半透明になるため、封止部材５０との融着状態の良否を容易に識別することができる。 When the protrusion 45 and the sealing member 50 are heat-sealed, the amount of heat applied is increased, and the protrusion 45 and the sealing member 50 are melted together to make the fusion portion transparent or translucent. It may be. Thereby, since only the fusion | melting part with the protrusion part 45 among the opaque sealing members 50 becomes transparent or semi-transparent, the quality of the fusion | melting state with the sealing member 50 can be identified easily.
［シリンジ梱包体の組立方法］
　次に、シリンジ梱包体８０の組立方法について、図６を参照して説明する。
　図６は、シリンジ梱包体８０の組立方法を説明する説明図である。 [Assembly method of syringe package]
Next, a method for assembling the syringe package 80 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view for explaining a method of assembling the syringe package 80.
　シリンジ梱包体８０を組み立てるには、まず、シリンジ保持部材３０と、容器本体４０を用意する。そして、シリンジ保持部材３０のベース板３１を、容器本体４０の載置棚４４に載置する。これにより、シリンジ保持部材３０が容器本体４０に係合し、シリンジ収納容器１が組み立てられる。 In order to assemble the syringe package 80, first, the syringe holding member 30 and the container main body 40 are prepared. Then, the base plate 31 of the syringe holding member 30 is placed on the placement shelf 44 of the container body 40. Thereby, the syringe holding member 30 engages with the container main body 40, and the syringe storage container 1 is assembled.
　次に、シリンジ保持部材３０の筒孔３２ａ及び貫通孔３１ａにシリンジ１０を挿入する。これにより、シリンジ１０がシリンジ保持部材３０に保持され、容器本体４０に収納される（図１に示す状態）。 Next, the syringe 10 is inserted into the cylindrical hole 32a and the through hole 31a of the syringe holding member 30. Thereby, the syringe 10 is hold | maintained at the syringe holding member 30, and is accommodated in the container main body 40 (state shown in FIG. 1).
　次に、封止部材５０を容器本体４０のフランジ４３に設けた突条部４５に載せる。そして、図６に示すように、受け冶具１０１をフランジ４３の下面４３ｂに当接し、温められた金型１０２によって封止部材５０を押圧する。これにより、封止部材５０と突条部４５が熱融着され、シリンジ梱包体８０が組み立てられる。 Next, the sealing member 50 is placed on the protrusion 45 provided on the flange 43 of the container body 40. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the receiving jig 101 is brought into contact with the lower surface 43 b of the flange 43, and the sealing member 50 is pressed by the heated mold 102. Thereby, the sealing member 50 and the protrusion 45 are heat-sealed, and the syringe package 80 is assembled.
　その後、開口部を有する滅菌用の包装袋でシリンジ梱包体８０を包装し、包装袋の開口部を封止してから、高圧蒸気滅菌（オートクレーブ）やＥＯＧ（エチレンオキサイドガス）滅菌等の高温の蒸気やガスを用いた滅菌処理を行う。滅菌用の包装袋は、その一部が封止部材５０と同じく、滅菌のための気体が透過可能であって、菌やウィルスなどの微粒子が透過不可能である材料から形成されている。このため、滅菌のための気体である、蒸気やエチレンオキサイドガスが、包装袋内及びシリンジ梱包体８０内まで透過できる。その結果、シリンジ梱包体８０の外表面、シリンジ梱包体８０内部のシリンジ保持部材３０及びシリンジ保持部材３０に保持されたシリンジ１０に対して滅菌処理を行うことができる。 After that, the syringe package 80 is packaged with a sterilization packaging bag having an opening, and the opening of the packaging bag is sealed. Perform sterilization using steam or gas. A part of the sterilization packaging bag, like the sealing member 50, is formed of a material that allows gas for sterilization to pass therethrough and does not allow microparticles such as bacteria and viruses to pass through. For this reason, the vapor | steam for sterilization and ethylene oxide gas can permeate | transmit to the inside of a packaging bag and the syringe package 80. As a result, sterilization can be performed on the outer surface of the syringe package 80, the syringe holding member 30 inside the syringe package 80, and the syringe 10 held on the syringe holding member 30.
　封止部材５０と突条部４５との熱融着時において、フランジ４３の下面４３ｂが凹凸の無い平面に形成されているため、フランジ４３の上面４３ａに形成された突条部４５が変形することが無く、封止部材５０と突条部４５を確実に熱融着（シール）することができる。 At the time of heat-sealing the sealing member 50 and the ridge 45, the ridge 45 formed on the upper surface 43a of the flange 43 is deformed because the lower surface 43b of the flange 43 is formed on a flat surface having no irregularities. The sealing member 50 and the protrusion 45 can be reliably heat-sealed (sealed).
　金型１０２は、矩形の平板状に形成されており、封止部材５０の表面全体を押圧する。このとき、突条部４５のみが封止部材５０に接触するため、フランジ４３の突条部４５以外の領域には、封止部材５０が融着されない。つまり、封止部材５０を常に突条部４５に融着することができる。その結果、熱融着（シール）不良の発生を防止あるいは抑制することができると共に、組立後のシリンジ梱包体８０における融着（シール）強度にバラツキが生じないようにすることができる。また、容器本体４０の密閉に対する信頼性を向上させることができる。 The mold 102 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape and presses the entire surface of the sealing member 50. At this time, since only the protrusion 45 contacts the sealing member 50, the sealing member 50 is not fused to the region other than the protrusion 45 of the flange 43. That is, the sealing member 50 can always be fused to the protrusion 45. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress the occurrence of defective heat fusion (seal) and to prevent variations in the fusion (seal) strength in the assembled syringe package 80. Moreover, the reliability with respect to sealing of the container main body 40 can be improved.
　また、融着部分に応じた形状の押圧部を金型１０２に設ける必要が無く、金型１０２の形状が限定されない。さらに、容器本体４０のフランジ４３に対して金型１０２を正確に位置決めする必要が無い。つまり、金型１０２が封止部材５０の少なくとも突条部４５に対向する部分を押圧できればよいため、金型１０２の位置制御を高精度に行う必要が無い。 Also, it is not necessary to provide the mold 102 with a pressing portion having a shape corresponding to the fused portion, and the shape of the mold 102 is not limited. Further, it is not necessary to accurately position the mold 102 with respect to the flange 43 of the container body 40. That is, it is only necessary for the mold 102 to be able to press at least a portion of the sealing member 50 that faces the protruding portion 45, and therefore it is not necessary to control the position of the mold 102 with high accuracy.
　また、容器本体４０のフランジ４３に設けた突条部４５の外周の輪郭は、フランジ４３及び封止部材５０の外周の輪郭よりも小さいため、フランジ４３と封止部材５０の外縁部は、融着（シール）されていない。これにより、封止部材５０を容器本体４０から剥がすときに、封止部材５０を把持し易くなり、封止部材５０の剥離作業を簡便に行うことができる。 Further, since the contour of the outer periphery of the protrusion 45 provided on the flange 43 of the container main body 40 is smaller than the contour of the outer periphery of the flange 43 and the sealing member 50, the outer edge of the flange 43 and the sealing member 50 is fused. Not worn (sealed). Thereby, when peeling the sealing member 50 from the container main body 40, it becomes easy to hold | grip the sealing member 50, and the peeling operation | work of the sealing member 50 can be performed simply.
３．変形例
　本発明は、上述しかつ図面に示した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に記載した発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の変形実施が可能である。
　例えば、上述の実施の形態では、周壁部４２の縦断面形状をクランク状にすることで載置棚４４を形成した。しかし、本発明に係る載置棚としては、例えば、周壁部の内面から略垂直に突出する突出部であってもよい。 3. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention described in the claims.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the mounting shelf 44 is formed by changing the longitudinal sectional shape of the peripheral wall portion 42 to a crank shape. However, the mounting shelf according to the present invention may be, for example, a protruding portion that protrudes substantially vertically from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion.
　また、本発明に係る載置棚は、周壁部の内壁面に沿って周方向に連続する必要な無く、シリンジ保持部材を支持できれば、周壁部の内壁面に沿って不連続に設けられていてもよい。 Further, the mounting shelf according to the present invention does not need to be continuous in the circumferential direction along the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall portion, and is provided discontinuously along the inner wall surface of the peripheral wall portion as long as the syringe holding member can be supported. Also good.
　また、本実施の形態では、容器本体４０を上部が開口された箱状に形成した。しかし、本発明に係る容器本体としては、例えば、有底の円筒状に形成してもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the container body 40 is formed in a box shape having an upper opening. However, the container body according to the present invention may be formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, for example.
　また、本実施の形態では、封止部材５０の表面全体を押圧する平板状の金型１０２を用いた。しかし、シリンジ梱包体８０を組み立てるための金型の形状としては、例えば、封止部材５０のフランジ４３に対向する部分を押圧する枠状であってもよい。このように金型を枠状に形成することにより、封止部材５０の突条部４５に対向する部分以外の余計な部分に熱が加わることを抑制できる。 In the present embodiment, a flat plate mold 102 that presses the entire surface of the sealing member 50 is used. However, the shape of the mold for assembling the syringe package 80 may be, for example, a frame shape that presses a portion of the sealing member 50 that faces the flange 43. Thus, by forming a metal mold | die in frame shape, it can suppress that a heat | fever is added to extra parts other than the part which opposes the protrusion part 45 of the sealing member 50. FIG.
　また、本実施の形態では、針付きのシリンジ１０を収納するシリンジ収納容器１及びシリンジ梱包体８０を例に挙げて説明した。しかし、本発明のシリンジ収納容器及びシリンジ梱包体は、針が取り付けられていないシリンジを収納するものであってもよい。 Moreover, in this Embodiment, it demonstrated taking the case of the syringe storage container 1 and the syringe packing body 80 which store the syringe 10 with a needle | hook. However, the syringe storage container and syringe package of the present invention may store a syringe to which no needle is attached.
　また、本実施の形態では、シリンジ梱包体８０の組立時に、フランジ４３の外周の輪郭と略等しい四角形に形成された封止部材５０を用いていた。しかし、本発明に係るシリンジ梱包体８０の組立時の封止部材としては、長い帯状に形成され、ロール状に巻回して保管されているものを用いてもよい。
　この場合におけるシリンジ梱包体の組立方法としては、シリンジ１０が保持されたシリンジ保持部材３０を載置したシリンジ収納容器１を多数並べる。次に、並べられた多数のシリンジ収納容器１を覆う分だけロールから封止部材を引き出し、多数のシリンジ収納容器１の突条部４５に載せる。続いて、引き出した封止部材の大きさに対応した金型で、封止部材を加熱及び加圧して、突条部４５と封止部材とを熱融着する。その後、各シリンジ収納容器１のフランジ４３の外周の輪郭に沿って、封止部材を切断することで、シリンジ梱包体８０が組み立てられる。 In the present embodiment, the sealing member 50 formed in a quadrangle substantially equal to the contour of the outer periphery of the flange 43 is used when the syringe package 80 is assembled. However, as the sealing member at the time of assembling the syringe package 80 according to the present invention, a member that is formed in a long band shape and wound and stored in a roll shape may be used.
As an assembly method of the syringe package in this case, a large number of syringe storage containers 1 on which the syringe holding member 30 holding the syringe 10 is placed are arranged. Next, the sealing member is pulled out from the roll so as to cover the many syringe storage containers 1 arranged, and placed on the protrusions 45 of the many syringe storage containers 1. Subsequently, the sealing member is heated and pressurized with a mold corresponding to the size of the drawn sealing member, and the protrusion 45 and the sealing member are heat-sealed. Then, the syringe package 80 is assembled by cutting the sealing member along the contour of the outer periphery of the flange 43 of each syringe storage container 1.
　従来のシリンジ収納容器では、各シリンジ収納容器のフランジに沿った形状の押圧部を金型に設ける必要がある。したがって、上述のように、多数並べたシリンジ収納容器に対してひとつづきの封止部材を融着する場合は、１つのシリンジ収納容器に対して封止部材を融着する場合よりも、さらに正確な金型の位置決めが必要となる。 In the conventional syringe storage container, it is necessary to provide a pressing portion having a shape along the flange of each syringe storage container in the mold. Therefore, as described above, in the case where a single sealing member is fused to a large number of syringe storage containers, more accurate than the case where the sealing member is fused to a single syringe storage container. Positioning of the mold is necessary.
　これに対して、本発明では、各シリンジ収容容器１のフランジ４３に突条部４５が設けられている。このため、多数並べたシリンジ収納容器１に対してひとつづきの封止部材を融着する場合であっても、金型の位置決めを正確に行わずに、容器本体４０と封止部材とを熱融着することができる。 In contrast, in the present invention, the ridge 45 is provided on the flange 43 of each syringe container 1. For this reason, even when a single sealing member is fused to the syringe storage containers 1 arranged in large numbers, the container main body 40 and the sealing member are heated together without accurately positioning the mold. Can be fused.
