Abstract

A moisture-proof container including: a container body; a lid hermetically closing the container body to be openable and closable; and a desiccant storage case that is put on a bottom portion of the container body. The desiccant storage case includes: an inner case having an opening at one end; a desiccant stored in the inner case; and a moisture transmission dustproof sheet to seal the opening of the inner case. The inner case has, at an outer circumferential wall thereof, a groove connecting between an open end and a bottom portion, the container body includes a base on a bottom plate, and the desiccant storage case is put in the container body such that the moisture transmission dustproof sheet abuts the base, and a gap is formed between the bottom plate of the container body, and the moisture transmission dustproof sheet.

Claims (24)

1. A moisture-proof container comprising:

a container body having a tubular shape and an opening;

a lid for hermetically closing the container body so as to be openable and closable;

a desiccant storage case that has a tubular shape and that is put on a bottom portion of the container body,

wherein the desiccant storage case includes:

an inner case having an opening at one end for filling the inner case with a desiccant; and

a moisture transmission dustproof sheet for sealing the opening of the inner case, and

the inner case has, at an outer circumferential wall thereof, a groove connecting between the opening and a bottom portion of the inner case; and

a first projection on an inner circumferential wall of the container body for preventing the desiccant storage case from moving toward the opening of the container body,

wherein

the container body includes a base on an inner wall of a bottom plate for supporting the desiccant storage case and for providing a gap formed between the bottom plate of the container body and the moisture transmission dustproof sheet,

thereby the desiccant storage case is to be put in the container body such that the moisture transmission dustproof sheet abuts the base with the gap formed between the bottom plate of the container body and the moisture transmission dustproof sheet.

2. The moisture-proof container according to claim 1 , wherein the first projection is positioned on the inner circumferential wall of the container body between a plane including an outer surface of the bottom portion of the inner case of the desiccant storage case and the opening of the container body.

3. The moisture-proof container according to claim 2 , wherein the first projection is formed on an entire circumference of the inner circumferential wall of the container body, the outer circumferential wall of the inner case of the desiccant storage case has an outer diameter that matches an inner diameter of the container body, and

a corner of the bottom portion of the inner case at which the groove is formed, is chamfered.

4. A method for producing the moisture-proof container according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

filling the inner case with the desiccant by using a filling nozzle,

producing the desiccant storage case by sealing the opening of the inner case with the moisture transmission dustproof sheet,

putting the desiccant storage case in the container body such that the moisture transmission dustproof sheet faces the bottom portion of the container body, and

hermetically closing the container body with the lid.

5. The moisture-proof container according to claim 3 , wherein the inner case of the desiccant storage case has a plurality of second projections, which form the groove therebetween, at the outer circumferential wall of the inner case of the desiccant storage case.

6. The moisture-proof container according to claim 1 , wherein the first projection is formed on an entire circumference of the inner circumferential wall of the container body,

the outer circumferential wall of the inner case of the desiccant storage case has an outer diameter that matches an inner diameter of the container body, and

a corner of the bottom portion of the inner case at which the groove is formed, is chamfered.
