Definitions

• multiple-chamber containers as described above have thus far been proposed.
• a typical example of these is a multiple-chamber container made of plastic film and formed in the shape of a bag. Making use of the plastic film, a weak partition seal to separate the chambers from each other is formed in such a container by heat-sealing the facing surfaces of the film.
• the narrowest part of the pathway preferably has a width or diameter of 1 to 5 mm, thereby a free inflow of the liquid medicament from the storage compartment to the middle chamber can be reliably suppressed. Consequently, even if the pathway is formed, quick leakage of the medicament from the storage chamber to the medicament outlet before use can be reliably prevented.
• a weak discharge-control seal (discharge-control seal) 21 is formed between the second storage chamber 11 and the medicament outlet 7 to interrupt the passage of medicament therebetween.
• the weak discharge-control .seal 21 is formed arcwise around the medicament outlet 7 and both ends thereof are connected to the circumference 3 of the container body 5 in proximity to the medicament outlet 7.
• a middle chamber 23 is formed in the shape of semi-circle between the weak partition seal 21 and the medicament outlet 7.
• a pathway 25 having narrow width is arranged at the top part of the arc of weak discharge-control seal 21, and the second storage chamber 11 and the middle chamber 23 communicate with each other via the pathway 25.
• the width of the pathway 25 is preferably 1 to 5 mm so that the gas passage can be allowed between the storage chamber 11 and the middle chamber 23 and the inflow of liquid medicament from the second storage chamber 11 into the middle chamber 23 can be inhibited by the inner pressure of the middle chamber 23.
• the weak discharge-control seal 21 is formed in a similar way to the weak partition seal 13 by heat- sealing the inner surfaces of two facing films of container body 5.
• the weak discharge-control seal 21 is provided in such a manner as to be openable by increasing the inner pressures of the storage chambers 9 and 11, and the opening strength thereof is adjusted to be smaller than that of the weak partition seal 13.
• the weak discharge-control seal 23 is arranged arcwise in the above embodiment, the shape is not particularly limited.
• the weak discharge- control seal may be shaped semi-ellipse, substantially arcwise having squared corners, or linear to link both sides of the container body 5 as shown in FIG. 4.
• the pathway 25 does not necessarily have a uniform width and has only to prevent a passage of liquid. Especially, when the width of the narrowest part is 1 to 5 mm, such effect can be fully achieved.
• the pathway 25 may be provided not only in one position but in two or more positions, as long as a passage of medicament is inhibited. (Second embodiment)
• one of the ends 21a of the weak discharge- control seal 21 may be connected to the lower edge 3a where the medicament outlet 7 is provided, and the other end to the side edge 3b.
• both ends 21a of each weak discharge-control seal 21 have a narrower width in the above, only one of the two ends may also have a narrow width. However, in order to avoid an unopened part reliably, it is preferred to narrow the both ends.
• the width of the weak discharge-control seal 21 is adjusted so that the both ends thereof are easily opened.
• easier opening of the both ends can also be achieved by changing the sealing conditions of the center part and both ends with their width kept same.
• the heat sealing can be carried out with a mold to form the weak discharge-control seal 21, at the sealing temperature of both ends 21a lower than that of the center part 21b.
• the center part 21b can be referred to as a high-temperature sealed part while the both end parts 21a as a low- temperature sealed part.
• the difference in the sealing temperature is preferably 0.3 to 10 °C, and thereby the sealing release strength of both ends 21a can be set smaller than that of the center part 21b.
• “Sealing release strength” denotes the strength that can release the sealed state per unit length in the longitudinal direction of the weak discharge-control seal 21, i.e. the strength at the time the surfaces of two sealed films separate from each other.
• the sealing release strength can be expressed, for example as a peeling strength shown in JIS-Z0238.
• the peeling strength denotes the strength required for separating two film surfaces that are heat-sealed by a weak seal having a width of 15 mm. In this case, it is preferred that the peeling strength of the center part 21b of the weak discharge-control seal 21 is 1 to 7 N/15mm and the peeling strength of its both ends 21a is 25 to 90% of that of the center part.
• the sealing release strength can be adjusted by varying the thickness of the mold. That is, a pair of molds 41 for forming the weak discharge-control seal 21 is provided in such a manner as to consist of the first molds 41a for forming both end parts 21a and the second molds 41b for forming the center part 21b and the second mold 41b is provided thicker than the first mold 41a. Accordingly the distance between the molds is different between the end parts and the center part, and the sealing strength of both end parts 21a having a further distance between the molds becomes smaller when the heat-sealing is carried out. Therefore, the sealing release strength of the both ends 21a can be adjusted smaller than that of the center part 21b.
• the difference in thickness between the first mold 41a and the second mold 41b is preferably 20 to 80 ⁇ m.
• the above-described constitution of the weak discharge-control seal 21 is applicable to the multiple- chamber container of the first embodiment.
• a pathway is provided at the center part of the weak discharge-control seal and the both end parts 21a can be provided as to have a narrower width than that of the center part 21b.
• the pathway shown in the first embodiment can be formed at the weak discharge- control seal shown in FIGs. 6 to 9, where the both end parts 21a are opened more easily than the center part 21b.
