Abstract

According to one embodiment, a biological tissue grinding container includes a container portion and a vibrated portion, and vibration is transmitted to biological tissue from the vibration portion to grind the biological tissue. The vibrated portion includes a contact portion to be brought into direct contact with the biological tissue and defines a chamber which stores the biological tissue to be ground, together with the container portion. The vibrated portion is fixedly supported to be vibratable to the container portion directly or via a support portion provided between the container portion and itself, and has solidity higher than that of the container portion or support portion.

Claims (26)

1 . A biological tissue grinding container comprising:

a container portion comprising a chamber which stores biological tissue to be ground; and

a vibrated portion comprising a contact portion to be brought into direct contact with the biological tissue and defining the chamber together with the container, which extend to outside of the container portion,

the vibrated portion transmitting vibration to the biological tissue to grind the biological tissue.

2 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion is fixedly supported to the container portion directly, and has a solidity higher than that of the container portion.

3 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion is fixedly supported to be vibratable via a supporting portion provided between the container portion and itself, and has a solidity higher than that of the supporting portion.

4 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion comprises a contact surface outside the container portion, to which vibration is transmitted from outside, and the contact surface is provided with a high-polymer resin film.

5 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion comprises a connected portion outside the container portion, to which vibration is transmitted from outside, and the connected portion is formed as a projection or a recess according to a recess or a projection of the external vibration generator to be connected, to fit each other by engaging.

6 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion comprises a connected portion outside the container portion, to which vibration is transmitted from outside, and the connected portion is connected to the external vibration generator to be connected, by electromagnetic force.

7 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion is integrally molded with the container portion.

8 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion is joined to the container portion through the supporting portion, and the support portion is formed to have a flexible structure which supports the vibrated portion to be vibratable.

9 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion comprises a rib projecting towards an outer circumference thereof, and the support portion comprises a reception groove which receives and covers the rib.

10 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion comprises an inner surface portion, which defines an inner surface of the chamber.

11 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the vibrated portion has a first intrinsic frequency of the vibration and the container or support portion has a second intrinsic frequency lower than the first intrinsic frequency.

12 . The container of claim 1 , wherein

the container portion is sealed with a lid.
