Abstract
An outer tube having a double-ended needle accommodated therein upwardly and downwardly slidably is hermetically, removably but fixedly joined to an opening seal portion of a dissolving liquid container. An inner tube having a medicine-containing vial accommodated therein in an inverted state is joined to an upper end of the outer tube so as to be movable from a joined position of shallow fit to a joined position of deep fit. The joint between the outer and inner tubes is provided with a seal ring for holding the interior of the tubes airtight and a restraining mechanism for holding the inner tube in the joined position of shallow fit. The medicine container thus constructed is excellent in impact resistance and shakeproofness for transport and storage, usable by a facilitated mixing procedure for preparing a medicinal solution, simple in overall structure and disposable as separated into components after use.
