Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a urinalysis test strip that stores test strips for testing urine glucose, urine protein, or both. Regarding containers.

(Prior Art) Urine tests have been used in various medical institutions, group medical examinations, and the like to collect urine that sensitively reflects the state of physical health and to aid in early detection or treatment of diseases. Recently, the test results are painless and easy to judge, so test strips for urine tests have been sold in the market, allowing you to perform the urine test at home, freeing yourself from the hassle of going to the hospital, and self-managing your health. It has become easy to do.

The test strip is immersed in urine to react with glucose and protein in the urine, and judgment is made based on the color change that occurs at this time, so in order to ensure accurate judgment, it must be handled with sufficient care. Caution must be taken. Therefore, unused test strips are either stored in a bottle or sealed individually with an aluminum pack.

However, although such packaging containers are sufficient for storing and preserving the test strips, no measures are taken to dispose of the test strips after use. Therefore, if the used test strips are thrown away in a trash can or the like after the test, the odor will spread, and the same goes for the used test strips stored in the aluminum pack. Once opened, the seal will not be sealed properly and the odor will spread. In addition, it is cumbersome to place used test strips in a plastic bag or the like and seal them each time a urine test is performed to prevent odor from spreading.
If you try to dump it into the toilet bowl of a flushing toilet and let it flow down, the test strip is not water-soluble, but has appropriate hardness and rigidity because the test is carried out in your hand, so it will stick to the toilet bowl and flow down. However, there are disadvantages such as the generation of odor.

(Problems to be solved by the present invention) The present invention solves such conventional inconveniences, stores and preserves unused test strips for urine tests in good condition, and eliminates odors from used test strips. An object of the present invention is to provide a test strip container for urine test that can be stored while preventing diffusion.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention divides the inside of the container with a partition wall, and has a first storage section for storing unused test strips with an upper opening, and a first storage section with an upper opening for storing unused test strips. a second storage section for storing the sealed used test strip;
A small insertion hole for the used test strip is provided in the partition wall that seals the upper part of the second storage part, and when the upper parts of both storage parts are closed, the opening of the first storage part and the insertion small hole of the second storage part are provided. It is characterized by having a container lid that independently seals the and.

(Function) According to this configuration, the present invention opens the container lid, takes out the unused urine test test strips stored in the first storage part one by one from the upper opening, and performs the test judgment. conduct. After the inspection and judgment, the used test strip is inserted into the second storage section from the test strip insertion hole in the second storage section.
Store it in the storage section. Thereafter, the container lid is closed, and the opening of the first storage section and the small insertion hole of the second storage section are independently sealed. The unused test paper strips and the used test paper strips are simultaneously stored in this sealed state until the next inspection.

(Example) An example of implementing the present invention will be described in detail below using FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view.

This implementation container includes an outer container 1 and an inner container 2.
and a container lid 3, a first storage part 4 for storing unused urine test strips X inside the inner container 2, and a used test strip X' between the outer container 1 and the inner container 2. It is composed of a second storage section 5 that stores.

The outer container 1 has a bottom lid 7 double-wound to the bottom of a can body 6, and a threaded part 8 for screwing with the container lid 3 is provided near the upper end of the outer periphery of the can body 6.

The inner container 2 is provided with a cylindrical partition wall 9 with a bottom that is concentric with the outer container 3 while maintaining an interval therebetween, an opening 10 is provided in the upper part of the partition wall 9, and the inner container 2 is formed integrally with the partition wall 9. A flange portion 12 having an upper partition wall 11 is provided, and a protruding portion 13 is provided on the opening periphery of the flange portion 12, and a flange seaming portion 14 for double seaming the upper end of the can body 6 of the outer container 1 is provided on the outer periphery. The flange portion 12 is provided with four holes 15 for inserting test paper pieces at four positions perpendicular to the inner circumference.

The inside of the partition wall 9 of the inner container 2 constitutes a first storage section 4, and the second storage section 4 is opened with a small insertion hole 15 between the inner container 2 and the outer container 1 double-sealed thereto.
A storage section 5 is configured.

The container lid 3 is provided with a threaded part 16 that connects with the threaded part 8 of the outer container 1, and has an inner packing 17 on the inner surface that contacts the protrusion 13 of the inner container 2 and seals the first storage part 4. and an outer packing 18 that abuts the flange tightening portion 14 and seals the input hole 15 of the second storage portion 5.

The operation of the implementation container will be described as follows.

Normally, an unused urine test strip X is stored in the first storage part 4, the container lid 3 is screwed onto the outer container 2, and both gaskets 17 and 18 are connected to the protrusion 13 of the inner container 2 and the flange. The unused test paper piece X is kept in contact with the winding part 14 in a sealed state.

At the time of the test, the container lid 3 is opened, an unused test strip X is taken out from the opening 3 of the inner container 2, and the degree of contamination of glucose and protein in the urine is measured and determined according to a prescribed usage method.

After the inspection, the used test strip X' is put into the second storage section 5 through the small insertion hole 15 of the inner container 2.
Next, the container lid 3 is screwed onto the outer container 1 and the container lid 3 is screwed onto the outer container 1.
The first storage section 4 and the second storage section 5 are sealed at the same time. At this time, by screwing the container lid 3 onto the outer container 1, the inner gasket 17 of the container lid 3 comes into contact with the protrusion 13 of the inner container 2, thereby sealing the first storage portion 4, and the outer gasket 18 is closed. The second storage portion 5 is sealed by contacting the flange-wrapped portion 14 to prevent odor from spreading to the outside.

In the present container, the container lid 3 from the outer container 1 is opened and closed by screwing, but even if the container lid 3 is simply fitted and closed, it would defeat the purpose of the present invention. do not have.

Further, although the above-mentioned example container is constructed of both inner and outer containers made of metal, it is also possible to incinerate the containers after use by using a composite material such as plastic or composite that can be incinerated.

Further, by storing a deodorizing agent or an aromatic agent in advance in the second storage portion 5, the odor emitted when the lid is opened can be deodorized or aromatized, thereby further enhancing the object of the present invention.

(Effects) As is clear from the above description, the present invention stores unused test strips in the first storage section, stores used test strips in the second storage section, and stores them in independent storage sections. For urine testing, it is possible to store and preserve unused test strips in good condition by storing them and sealing them at the same time with a container lid, and to prevent the spread of odor from used test strips to the outside. We can provide test strip containers.
