[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to hard capsules, and more particularly to hard capsules that are commonly used as containers for filling pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and the like. [Prior Art] Conventionally, hard capsules have been molded mainly from gelatin and have a uniform thickness throughout. [Problem to be solved by the invention] As a result, the hemispherical portions at the ends of conventional hard capsules are fragile, and during the process of joining the capsule body and capsule cap after filling the contents, each hemispherical portion often This results in deformation and the occurrence of so-called defective products. In addition, such deformation of the hemispherical portion can also occur during packaging and distribution processes, and those skilled in the art would equally desire to improve this deformation. [Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional capsules, and has devised the hard capsule of the present invention in which ribs are formed on the hemispherical inner wall. This is what I did. That is, the present invention is a hard capsule characterized by having cross beam-shaped ribs formed on the hemispherical inner wall. [Example] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to drawings showing an example. 1 is a hard capsule body, and its material is the same as conventional ones such as gelatin. Reference numeral 2 denotes a cross-shaped rib, which is a thick reinforcing portion formed on the inner wall of the hemispherical portion 11 of the hard capsule body 1. Further, the specific method of forming the rib 2 is not limited, but for example, a groove corresponding to the shape of the rib to be formed is formed at the tip of a mold pin normally used for molding hard capsules. It is easy to install and integrally mold. The hard capsule body 1 on which the ribs 2 are formed may be either a capsule body or a capsule cap, or both. [Function] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the hemispherical portion, which has conventionally been a fragile portion, is reinforced and the impact resistance is increased. [Effects of the invention] Accordingly, if the hard capsule of the present invention is used, it can be used not only during the capsule binding process after filling the contents, but also during the packaging process.
