Description
- The present invention relates to a multi-chamber container, and more particularly, to a multi-chamber container which accommodates two or more solutions to enable the solutions to be mixed.
- Conventionally, in the case of mixing two or more solutions, in order to prevent the solutions from deteriorating with time due to the interaction, the solutions have been mixed and adjusted immediately before administration in medical fields. However, such mixing of solutions immediately before administration has defects such as contamination with microorganisms and/or intrusion of a foreign substance, insufficient mixing, inability of prompt administration and the like. Therefore, such a multi-chamber container is currently being developed that the container is provided with barrier which separates the solutions, such as a seal which can be peeled by application of pressure, and that each of a plurality of chambers partitioned by the barrier is filled with a respective unmixed solution. In this multi-chamber container, the barrier is released immediately before administration to mix the solutions.
- As a method of releasing the barrier to mix solutions in such a multi-chamber container, there are a method of pressing a filling chamber by hand or the like to decrease the volume of the chamber, and thereby releasing the barrier by pressure of the solution inside the chamber to mix the solutions, another method of providing an injection plug extending from a filling chamber to another filling chamber through the barrier, and opening the injection plug to mix the solutions, and the like.
- In such mixing methods, opening operation (pressing or opening of the plug) is necessary independently of mounting operation in mounting the container to a predetermined device to administer. A possibility thereby arises that solutions are administered without performing the opening operation. Further, it is difficult to confirm that the barrier is released and the solutions are mixed, making it difficult to find that the opening operation is not performed. Furthermore, in a type of opening a plug to mix solutions, the opened plug is left in the chamber, resulting in a problem of intrusion of the foreign substance.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-chamber container that prevents an occurrence of forgetting to mix solutions while enabling intrusion of a foreign substance to be prevented.
- A multi-chamber container of the invention is a multi-chamber container which accommodates a plurality of solutions, is divided into a plurality of filling chambers by an opening preventing portion, and has a container body with the filling chambers filled with the solutions respectively, and a covering member that covers at least one of the filling chambers of the container body, where the covering member has a pair of rigid members that sandwich the opening preventing portion from the outside, and seal portions provided to close the pair of rigid members.

FIG. 1 has acontainer body 1. Thecontainer body 1 has a plurality of (two in this embodiment)filling chambers seal portion 13 is provided between thefilling chambers filling chambers container body 1 is divided into twofilling chambers seal portion 13. - The
seal portion 13 has sufficient pressure resistance to a pressure in the normal direction (direction of the arrow A) to the sheet. In other words, the pressure from the direction of the arrow A is dispersed over theentire container body 1, and theseal portion 13 is thereby not peeled. Meanwhile, theseal portion 13 has a property of easily peeling against the force in the vertical direction (direction of the arrow B) of the sheet. By using such aseal portion 13 as an opening preventing portion, when the pressure in the direction of the arrow B is applied to theseal portion 13 by applying the pressure to at least one of thefilling chambers seal portion 13 is peeled to open the communication between thefilling chambers chambers - The
container body 1 has ahole 14 to be hanged in a stand during administration of the solutions at its one end (upper position in the figure). Further, thecontainer body 1 has acock 15 at the other end (lower position in the figure). Thecock 15 is sealed by a rubber stopper until a hollow needle is inserted. - In addition, generally used materials may be used as a material for the
container body 1. - The multi-chamber container as shown in
FIG. 1 has acover 2 that covers at least one of thefilling chambers 11, 12 (thechamber 12 inFIG. 1 ). Thecover 2 is only required to cover at least an end portion (for example, thecock 15 or hole 14). Thecover 2 includes a pair ofrigid members 21 that sandwich theseal portion 13 from the outside, andseal portions 22 provided to close the pair ofrigid members 21. As thecover 2, a film, sheet and the like may be used which are formed of paper, plastic or the like. - The
rigid members 21 have sufficient rigidity to hold theseal portion 13 from the outside to enable thecover 2 to be attached to thecontainer body 1. As therigid members 21, plates and the like may be used which can pinch the seal portion 13 (thin portion of the container body 1) along theseal portion 13. It is preferable that therigid members 21 are light in weight as possible. Accordingly, as a material for the rigid members, for example, paper, plastic and the like may be used. Therigid members 21 are attached to the internal side of thecover 2 by adhesive or the like to come into contact with theseal portion 13. Further, as in an aspect as shown inFIG. 1 , since thecover 2 is closed by theseal portions 22, the length L of therigid member 21 is set shorter than the width D of thecover 2. - The
seal portions 22 are provided in regions outside therigid members 21 in thecover 2. Theseal portions 22 have adhesion of the extent to which theseal portions 22 peel by an increase in thickness of theseal portion 13 when theseal portion 13 peels to cause thefilling chambers seal portions 22, and positions of theseal portions 22 in thecover 2 are set so as to hold the cover when thefilling chambers cover 2 to easily drop when thefilling chambers seal portion 13 increases. - The
seal portions 22 may be formed of a double-faced tape, thecover 2 may be melted to form theseal portions 22, or engaging portions may be provided at contact portions (end portions) of thecover 2 and engaged to form theseal portions 22. - In the case of attaching the
cover 2 to thecontainer body 1, prepared first is the cover 2 (for example, film or sheet) as shown inFIG. 4A . Rigid members 21 (for example, plates) are respectively attached to both end portions on one surface of thecover 2. Then, as shown inFIG. 4B , thecover 2 is bent so that therigid members 21 are opposed to each other. In this state, thebent cover 2 is put on thecontainer body 1 so as to cover one (the chamber 12) of the filling chambers of thecontainer body 1 so that positions of therigid members 21 are in accordance with the position of theseal portion 13. Next, as shown inFIG. 4C , regions outside therigid members 21 are sealed to form theseal portions 22. - Thus, the aforementioned multi-chamber container is configured so that the
filling chamber 12 is covered with thecover 2 when thefilling chambers cover 2 drops when thefilling chambers seal portion 13 increases its thickness. Therefore, when thefilling chambers cock 15 of thecontainer body 1 is covered with thecover 2. Hence, in this state, since thecock 15 is covered with thecover 2, it is logically not possible to inject a hollow needle into thecock 15 to use the container. In other words, the container cannot be used with the fillingchambers - In an aspect as shown in
FIG. 1 , the case is described that side portions of thecover 2 are opened as shown inFIG. 4C . However, in the present invention, thecover 2 may be configured so that the side portions of thecover 2 are closed by perforations to be torn off, and the perforations are torn to cause thecover 2 to drop when the thickness of theseal portion 13 increases with the fillingchambers seal portions 22 may be provided or not provided. -
FIG. 5 is a front view showing another example of the multi-chamber container according to this embodiment of the present invention. In the multi-chamber container as shown inFIG. 5 , the fillingchamber 11 is covered with thecover 2. A configuration of thecover 2 is the same as that in the multi-chamber container as shown inFIG. 1 . - The multi-chamber container as shown in
FIG. 5 is configured so that the fillingchamber 11 is covered with thecover 2 when the fillingchambers cover 2 drops when the fillingchambers seal portion 13 increases its thickness. Therefore, when the fillingchambers hole 14 of thecontainer body 1 is covered with thecover 2. Hence, in this state, since thehole 14 is covered with thecover 2, the container cannot be hung in a stand logically nor cannot be used. In other words, the container cannot be used with the fillingchambers -
FIG. 6 is a front view showing still another example of the multi-chamber container according to this embodiment of the present invention. - In the multi-chamber containers as shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 5 , thecover 2 is sealed to form theseal portions 22. In the multi-chamber container as shown inFIG. 6 , therigid members 21 are sealed to form theseal portions 22. Accordingly, in an aspect as shown inFIG. 6 , since thecover 2 is closed by therigid members 21, the length L of therigid members 21 is set longer than the width D of thecover 2. In addition, therigid members 21 are the same as those in the multi-chamber containers as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 5 . - The multi-chamber container as shown in
FIG. 6 is configured so that the fillingchamber 12 is covered with thecover 2 when the fillingchambers cover 2 drops when the fillingchambers seal portion 13 increases its thickness. Therefore, when the fillingchambers cock 15 of thecontainer body 1 is covered with thecover 2. Hence, in this state, since thecock 15 is covered with thecover 2, it is logically not possible to inject a hollow needle into thecock 15 to use the container. In other words, the container cannot be used with the fillingchambers - In the multi-chamber container as shown in
FIG. 6 , the fillingchamber 12 is covered with thecover 2.
