Abstract

The present invention relates to a heterogeneous formulation mixing container that allows contents of different heterogeneous formulations to be stored individually so as to be safely protected from external moisture, and then quickly mixed and used when necessary. To this end, the present invention comprises: a first formulation storage unit in which a first formulation is stored inside a main body of a storage unit; an intermediate cap unit that is connected to an injection port of the first formulation storage unit so as to be openable and closable, wherein an internal support tube is fitted into the interior of the injection port through a coupling space formed openly at the lower part of an external support member connected to a partition wall and an internal support tube, and wherein a push operation space is provided above the partition wall, and a rupture portion having a drop space and a rupture needle is provided inside the internal support tube; and a second formulation storage unit in which a push portion is connected to the push operation space of the intermediate cap unit so as to be pushable, and an open end is sealed with a sealing film while a second formulation is stored inside a second formulation storage tube fitted into the interior of the internal support tube. It is configured to include, when assembling the second formulation storage part with respect to the intermediate cap part, the sealing paper attached to the open end of the second formulation storage tube is assembled with an appropriate spacing (L) with respect to the rupturing needle of the rupturing part provided in the internal support tube of the intermediate cap part, and is configured so that only when the second formulation storage part is pressurized, the sealing paper moves downward with respect to the rupturing needle of the rupturing part and is ruptured, and at the same time, the second formulation is dropped and mixed with the first formulation of the first formulation storage part through the rupturing space of the sealing paper and the falling space of the rupturing part.

  8. In paragraph 1, A different formulation mixing container characterized by further being equipped with a sealing means to prevent the first formulation stored in the first formulation storage unit from leaking or leaking to the outside of the intermediate cap unit by flowing into the interior through the drop space of the inner support tube of the intermediate cap unit through elastic contact with the outer surface of the second formulation storage tube of the second formulation storage unit fitted inside the inner surface of the inner support tube of the intermediate cap unit.

Description

A container for mixing different types of substances The present invention relates to a heterogeneous formulation mixing container that allows contents of different heterogeneous formulations to be stored individually so as to be safely protected from external moisture, and then quickly mixed and used when necessary. As is well known, mixing containers that store contents of different formulations separately in a single container and mix them when needed are widely known. However, conventional mixing containers have structural problems, such as complex structures for storing or mixing contents of different formulations separately. In particular, the airtight structure for the second formulation, which is pressurized and mixed with the first formulation contained in the container via a push mechanism, is very weak, leading to significant storage issues such as spoilage caused by the ingress of moisture or external air. This problem is exacerbated, especially when the second formulation is in powder form. The aforementioned problem is that, above all, although the structure involves storing the second formulation separately from the first formulation in a single container, it is not a structure in which they are completely sealed and stored independently; rather, because they are simply separated and then mixed by the combination of other connecting members, they are not safely protected from the ingress of moisture or external air during distribution or storage. As an example, as can be seen from the structure of the “cap for easy mixing of materials having a double structure for preventing reuse” presented in Patent Document 1, the additive contained inside the punch tube constituting the inner cap punch is stored separately in a state where it is simply blocked by the bottom of the inner cap, so there is structurally a limit to reliably blocking the ingress of moisture or outside air during distribution or storage.
