Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-chamber container provided with a warning band indicating that a weak seal portion is not peeled off.

Conventionally, when two or more kinds of medicines are blended, there is a risk that the medicine may be deteriorated due to a change over time caused by a pharmaceutical interaction, so a multi-chamber container provided with a plurality of medicine filling chambers partitioned by weak seal portions Each unmixed drug may be filled individually. When such a multi-chamber container is used, it is usually possible to administer an unmixed drug to a patient without peeling off the weak seal, so that there is no medical accident due to misadministration of such an unmixed drug. In order to alert the user, there are some multi-chamber containers that are configured to attach a seal for confirmation of opening so as to close the hanging hole for the hook, and to confirm the peeling of the weak seal portion. (For example, see Patent Document 1).
Utility model registration No. 3074885

  However, in such a multi-chamber container, it is possible to alert the user when it is hung on a hook, but it should be installed on an inclined surface without using a hook to administer a drug to a patient. In such a case, there is a tendency that the user's attention tends not to be directed to the hanging hole for the hook, and there is a problem that the user cannot be sufficiently alerted.

  Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the present invention encourages confirmation of peeling of the weak seal portion not only when the device is suspended from a hook but also when a multi-chamber container is installed on an inclined surface. An object of the present invention is to provide a configured multi-chamber container and prevent the occurrence of medical accidents due to erroneous administration of unmixed drugs.

  A multi-chamber container comprising a container main body having a plurality of drug filling chambers partitioned by a weak seal portion, and a stopper attached to an opening of the container main body. It has a base that abuts along the surface and a fragile portion that breaks when the container body expands, and is provided with a warning band that indicates that the weak seal portion is not peeled off.

  The base portion may be formed of cardboard formed in a substantially U shape, the weak portion may be formed of thin paper, and both ends of the base portion may be connected to each other.

  The base may be formed of cardboard formed in a pair of plates, and the weakened portion may be formed of thin paper, and the left and right ends of the base may be connected to each other.

  According to the above means, it is not limited to the method of installing the multi-chamber container, and in any case, sufficient attention can be alerted to the user so that there is no medical accident due to erroneous administration of the unmixed medicine.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a multi-chamber container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-chamber container 1 includes a container main body 2 and a mouthpiece 10 for discharging medicine attached to an opening of the container main body 2.

  The container body 2 is composed of two transparent film sheets and includes a peripheral strong seal portion 3. The peripheral strong seal portion 3 is formed by heat-welding the peripheral portion in a state where the medicine discharge pipe 12 of the plug 10 is sandwiched between the inner surfaces facing the two transparent film sheets. Yes. The peripheral strong seal portion 3 is configured with a strength that cannot be peeled even if the outer surfaces of first and second drug filling chambers 5 and 6 described later are pressed.

  The container body 2 includes a weak seal portion 4 and first and second drug filling chambers 5 and 6. The weak seal portion 4 is bonded by heating, for example, by joining one inner surface and the other inner surface opposite to the inner surface with a mixed resin piece, or sandwiching the mixed resin piece between the inner surfaces. Thus, the container body 2 is formed in the short direction near the center of the container body 2. The weak seal 4 partitions the inside of the container body 2 into first and second drug filling chambers 5 and 6. The weak seal portion 4 is configured to have such a strength that it can be peeled when the outer surface of one of the first and second drug filling chambers 5 and 6 is pressed.

  The mouth plug 10 has a cylindrical shape and is composed of a drug discharge port 11 sealed with a rubber plug and a drug discharge pipe 12.

  The multi-chamber container 1 includes a warning band 20 attached to the container body 2 near the weak seal portion 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the warning band 20 includes a base portion 21 and a weakened portion 22 that connects the base portion 21.

  The base portion 21 is formed of a long and thin strip-shaped cardboard, and is formed by being bent into a substantially U shape. The side surfaces of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion of the base portion 21 are formed in a substantially C shape. Both ends of the base portion 21 are connected to each other via a fragile portion 22 described later. The base 21 abuts along the end of the first drug filling chamber 5 on the weak seal portion 4 side. On the surface of the base portion 21, “not yet opened” characters indicating that the weak seal portion 4 has not been peeled off, and a red background indicating that the warning band naturally falls after the weak seal portion 4 is peeled off are shown in white A letter is attached.

  The fragile portion 22 is made of trapezoidal thin paper. The weak part 22 connects both ends of the base part 21 to each other using an adhesive means such as glue or tape.

  Next, the operation when the multi-chamber container 1 having the above-described configuration is used will be described.

  When the warning chamber 20 is attached and the multi-chamber container 1 of the present invention is hung on a hook or installed on an inclined surface, the warning zone 20 and the “not yet attached” The user can easily recognize that a hollow needle should not be pierced through the rubber plug of the spigot 10 or that the weak seal portion 4 should be peeled off by the characters “open”. As a result, the user does not hang the hook on the hook or install it on an inclined surface, pierce the hollow needle through the rubber plug of the mouth plug 10, and do not administer the unmixed medicine to the patient.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the user peels the weak seal portion 4 by pressing the outer surface of one of the first and second drug filling chambers 5 and 6 with a hand or the like. As shown in FIG. 3B, the fragile portion 22 is broken by the expansion of the container body 2 accompanying the peeling of the weak seal portion 4. Thereafter, when the user lifts the multi-chamber container 1, the base 21 expands outward and the warning band 20 naturally falls, so that the peeling of the weak seal portion 4 is completed from the appearance of the multi-chamber container 1. It can be recognized and used by being hung on a hook or installed on an inclined surface.

  Note that unlike the warning band 20 shown in FIG. 1, the side surfaces of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion of the base portion 21 do not have to be formed in a substantially C shape, and are shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). As such, they may be formed in parallel. Further, unlike the warning band 20 shown in FIG. 1, it is not necessary to attach “not yet opened” characters or cautions on the surface of the base, and as shown in FIG. A warning belt 20 may be configured by sticking a warning sheet 23 with a letter attached to one of the bases 21. Furthermore, it is not necessary to form the base portion 21 in a substantially U shape, and as shown in FIG. 4C, the pair of base portions 21a and 21b is configured with thick paper formed in a plate shape, You may mutually connect by the weak parts 22a and 22b comprised with two thin papers.

It is a front view of the multi-chamber container concerning the embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view of the warning belt attached to the multi-chamber container of FIG. (A) is the side view which expanded the weak seal part vicinity of the multi-chamber container of FIG. 1, (b) is a weak part fracture | ruptured in connection with peeling of the weak seal part of the multi-chamber container of FIG.
