In dieser Ausführungsform besteht der Haltering 41 aus einem äußeren, im Wesentlichen zylinderförmigen Außenring 43 und einem flach kegelstumpfförmigen Innenring 45, in dem mittig eine Öffnung 47 vorgesehen ist.The provided in the protective container 1 retaining ring 41 consists for example of rubber-elastic material and has the in FIGS. 9 and 10 shown construction. In this embodiment, the retaining ring 41 consists of an outer, substantially cylindrical outer ring 43 and a flat truncated cone-shaped inner ring 45, in which an opening 47 is centrally provided.

Die Außenseite 49 des äußeren Ringes 43 des Halteringes 41 kann gestuft (Stufe 51) ausgebildet sein, so dass bei in den Unterteil 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 eingesetztem Haltering 41 die Stufe 51 an der Außenseite 49 des Außenringes 43 auf einer Gegenschulter 53, die im Bereich des freien Randes des Unterteils 9 des Schutzbehälters 1 vorgesehen ist, aufliegt. So ist die richtige Lage des Halteringes 41 gesichert. Zusätzlich wird der Haltering 41 bei geschlossenem Schutzbehälter dadurch gesichert, dass der freie Rand des Ansatzes 21 an der Oberseite des Außenringes 43 anliegt.The outer side 49 of the outer ring 43 of the retaining ring 41 may be stepped (stage 51), so that when inserted into the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention retaining ring 41, the step 51 on the outer side 49 of the outer ring 43 on a counter-shoulder 53, in the Area of the free edge of the lower part 9 of the protective container 1 is provided, rests. Thus, the correct position of the retaining ring 41 is secured. In addition, the retaining ring 41 is secured with closed protective container in that the free edge of the projection 21 rests against the upper side of the outer ring 43.

In der in Fig. 11 gezeigten Gebrauchslage ist der Haltering 41 im Bereich des freien Randes des Unterteils 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 gehalten, wobei die Stufe 51 des äußeren Rings 43 des Halteringes 41 auf einer Schulter 53 im Bereich des oberen Randes des Unterteils 3 aufsitzt. Der innere Ringteil 45, durch dessen Öffnung 47 der Hals des Innenbehälters 25 ragt, liegt neben dem Hals auf dem Körper des Innenbehälters 25 auf, so dass dieser auch dann in seiner Lage gesichert ist, wenn der Deckel 5 vom Unterteil 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 abgenommen ist.In the in Fig. 11 shown use position of the retaining ring 41 is held in the region of the free edge of the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention, wherein the step 51 of the outer ring 43 of the retaining ring 41 is seated on a shoulder 53 in the region of the upper edge of the lower part 3. The inner ring member 45, through the opening 47 of the neck of the inner container 25 protrudes, lies next to the neck on the body of the inner container 25, so that this is also secured in its position when the lid 5 from the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention is removed.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des Halteringes 41, der z.B. aus gummielastischem Werkstoff besteht, ist es, dass er als zusätzliche Abdichtung dient, da der innere Ringteil 43 auf dem innenbehälter 25 aufliegt, was z.B. für den Fall, dass der Innenbehälter 25 einen onkologischen (= hochtoxischen) Wirkstoff enthält, ein zusätzliches Sicherheitskriterium darstellt.Another advantage of the retaining ring 41, which is e.g. is made of rubber-elastic material, it is that it serves as an additional seal, since the inner ring member 43 rests on the inner container 25, which is e.g. in the event that the inner container 25 contains an oncological (= highly toxic) active ingredient is an additional safety criterion.

Wenn ein Innenbehälter 25 zur Gänze zu entnehmen ist, kann der Haltering 41 einfach aus dem Unterteil 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 herausgenommen werden.When an inner container 25 is completely removed, the retaining ring 41 can be easily removed from the lower part 3 of the protective container 1 according to the invention.

Auch beim Beschicken/Bestücken eines erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters 1 mit einem Innenbehälter 25 wird so vorgegangen, dass zunächst der Innenbehälter 25 eingesetzt und dann der Haltering 41 angesetzt wird, wobei sein innerer Ringteil 47 am Körper des Innenbehälters 25 neben dem Hals desselben anliegt.Also when loading / populating a protective container 1 according to the invention with an inner container 25, the procedure is such that first the inner container 25 is inserted and then the retaining ring 41 is attached, wherein its inner ring member 47 rests against the body of the inner container 25 adjacent to the neck thereof.

Wie aus den Zeichnungen ersichtlich, ist die Konstruktion des erfindungsgemäßen Schutzbehälters einfach, so dass dieser auf einfache Weise im Spritzgussverfahren, beispielsweise aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff gefertigt werden kann, wobei lediglich zwei Teile, nämlich der Deckel 5 und der Unterteil 3 herzustellen sind, ohne dass weitere Teile mit diesen Teilen des erfindungsgemäßen. Schutzbehälters 1 verbunden werden müssen, zumal sowohl der Unterteil 3 als auch der Deckel 5 jeweils einstückig äusgebildet sein können.As can be seen from the drawings, the construction of the protective container according to the invention is simple, so that it can be manufactured in a simple manner by injection molding, for example of thermoplastic material, with only two parts, namely the cover 5 and the lower part 3 are to produce without further Parts with these parts of the invention. Protective container 1 must be connected, especially since both the lower part 3 and the cover 5 can each be formed in one piece äusgebildet.
