Sensor storage container
This sensor storage container comprises a bottomed cylindrical container body ( 1 ) having an opening in its top face, an opening/closing lid ( 2 ) provided to the opening of the container body ( 1 ) in an openable/closable manner, and an inner case ( 7 ) that is open at its top face and provided within the container body ( 1 ). The opening/closing lid ( 2 ) is linked to the container body ( 1 ) via a hinge portion ( 3 ), at the peripheral edge of the opening of the container body ( 1 ). The inner case ( 7 ) is linked on the hinge portion ( 3 ) side to the opening/closing lid ( 2 ).
1. A sensor storage container, comprising:
a bottomed cylindrical container body having an opening in its top face;
an opening/closing lid provided to the opening of the container body in an openable and closable state;
a hinge portion that links the container body and the opening/closing lid around a peripheral edge of the opening of the container body, and that opens and closes the opening/closing lid with respect to the container body;
a bottomed inner case that is provided inside the container body and has a vertical peripheral edge on an opening in its top face;
a linking body that links the opening/closing lid with a portion on the hinge portion side of the opening in the inner case; and
a plurality of sensors that are stored vertically along a length direction of the inner case, each of the sensors being formed by superposing a plurality of flat pieces, and in which a lower end of each of the sensors arranged at a bottom face side of the inner case is thinner than an opposing upper end of each of the sensors arranged at an opening side of the inner case in a state of being stored in the inner case; and
wherein the inner case has a partition wall that separates two storage portions, bilateral portions that are opposite the partition wall, and side face portions that connect bilateral portions to each other,
the two storage portions being symmetrical and parallel to the hinge portion in a plan view of the sensor storage container,
one of the bilateral portions being a part of one of the two storage portions,
another one of the bilateral portions being a part of other one of the two storage portions,
the side face portions have a sloped face that is disposed at a position where the partition wall side is away from the hinge portion, and at a position where the bilateral portion side is closer to the hinge portion side than the partition wall side in a plan view, and
the two storage portions are configured to store the sensors in a state of being inclined, wherein the sensors stored in one of the two storage portions are inclined in a different direction than the sensors stored in the other one of the two storage portions, and the sensors face a respective one of the side face portions.
2. The sensor storage container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the linking body links the inner case and a portion of the opening/closing lid that is away from the end on the hinge portion side.
3. The sensor storage container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sensors have a plurality of flat, non-superposed portions, and electrodes that are exposed from the non-superposed portions on an end on the bottom face side of the inner case.
4. The sensor storage container according to claim 1 ,
wherein the linking body is flexible.
