Patent number: 8690025Abstract: A dispensing container according to the invention includes a container body having a rod-like shape. The dispensing container is therefore compact and the user can hold the dispensing container as if the user holds a pen and use the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger to apply pressure to the dispensing container so as to dispense a drug solution. A heat insulating grip is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the container body, whereby heat originating from the body temperature of a finger of the user will not be transferred to the drug solution or volatilize it. No excessive dispensing that is not intended by the user will therefore occur. Since the container body is thin and hence unlikely crashed, the user can make adjustment of the pressure applied by the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger to readily extract a single droplet.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: GC CorporationInventors: Shinichi Kojima, Masayuki Takahashi
