Abstract:
1. A dispensing container for dispensing a drug solution contained within the dispensing container, the dispensing container not structured to thread into another container, the dispensing container comprising: a rod-shaped container body formed of a smaller-diameter portion having a discharge port that is an open end and a larger-diameter portion having a block end; a nozzle that extends from the discharge port outward in an axial direction of the container body; and a grip made of a heat insulating material and covering an outer circumferential surface of the smaller-diameter portion of the container body; wherein an edge of the grip is in contact with a stepped portion where the smaller-diameter portion and the larger-diameter portion are connected to each other; wherein an outer diameter (D wherein the wall thickness of the smaller-diameter portion of the container body ranges from 0.3 to 0.9 mm; wherein the grip is formed to have a wall thickness of at least 2 mm; when the outer diameter (D wherein a length (Lt) of the dispensing container is the sum of a length (L) of the grip and a length (Lc) of the larger-diameter portion; wherein the length (Lt) of the dispensing container ranges from 100 to 200 mm; wherein the length (L) of the grip is at least 50 mm; wherein the length (Lc) of the larger-diameter portion ranges from 5 to 10 mm; when the user holds the grip like holding the pen, and the user holds the grip with the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger, thereby no finger directly contacts the rod-shaped container body formed of the smaller-diameter portion, with the grip having a heat insulating capability which thereby prevents heat originating from a temperature of the fingers from being transferred to the rod-shaped container body formed of the smaller-diameter portion; and when the user holds the grip like holding the pen, and the user holds the grip with the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger, whereby an amount of heat radiated from the fingers and a back of the hand of the user to the larger-diameter portion is very small, and the radiated heat will not reach a gas accumulated in an upper end portion of the larger-diameter portion, as a result, a change in a temperature of the content in the dispensing container can be minimized, when the user uses the dispensing container, the user can hold and squeeze the grip to dispense a single droplet, and no unintended excessive dispensing of the drug solution will occur.
