Container for receiving moisture sensitive goods
First Claim
1. A container for receiving moisture sensitive goods comprising:
- a container body and a cap;
wherein the cap and the container body are shaped to establish, in a closed state, a leak-proof seal between the container body and the cap;
wherein the container body comprises a base and a sidewall extending upwards from the base;
an insert element comprising a bottom and an insert sidewall, wherein the insert element is contained within an interior of the container body, such that an outer circumferential surface of the insert sidewall is in abutting contact with an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall of the container body;
wherein the bottom of the insert element is permeable to moisture;
wherein the insert sidewall and the sidewall of the container body are designed to attach the insert element inside the container body;
wherein in an area in a lower portion and in an upper portion of the sidewall of the insert element, the insert element has an outer diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of a sidewall of the container opposite from the outer most diameter of the sidewall of the insert element and accordingly the lower portion and upper portion of the insert element and/or the sidewall of the container are deformed when the insert element is introduced into the container thereby establishing a press-fit connection with the sidewall of the container body at an upper and lower section of the sidewall of the insert element;
wherein a free volume is formed between the container body and the sidewall of the insert element, which is located between the press-fit connections at the upper and lower sections of the sidewall; and
wherein the container further comprises a desiccant chamber between the bottom of the insert element and the base of the container body for receiving a predetermined amount of desiccant material.

Abstract
A container for receiving moisture sensitive goods includes a container body (15) and a cap (26) shaped to establish a leak-proof seal between the container body and the cap. The container body has a base and a sidewall with an insert element present inside the container body having a bottom and an insert sidewall, wherein an outer circumferential surface of the insert sidewall is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall of the container body. The bottom of the insert element is permeable to moisture and the insert sidewall and the sidewall of the container body are designed to attach the insert element inside the container body. In addition, the container has a desiccant chamber between the bottom of the insert element and the base of the container body for receiving desiccant material.

15. A container for receiving moisture sensitive goods comprising:
-
a container body and a cap;
wherein the cap and the container body are shaped to establish, in a closed state, a leak-proof seal between the container body and the cap;wherein the container body comprises a base and a sidewall extending upwards from the base; an insert element comprising a bottom and an insert sidewall, wherein the insert element is contained within an interior of the container body, such that an outer circumferential surface of the insert sidewall is in abutting contact with an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall of the container body; wherein the bottom of the insert element is permeable to moisture; wherein the insert element sidewall and the sidewall of the container body are designed to secure the insert element inside the container body; wherein the outer surface of the sidewall of the insert element includes upper and lower outward extension elements which extend to an inner surface of the sidewall of the container and wherein thereby the lower portion and upper portion of the insert element and/or the sidewall of the container are deformed when the insert element is introduced into the container thereby establishing a press-fit connection at an upper and lower section of the sidewall of the insert; wherein a free volume is formed between the container body and the sidewall of the insert element, which is located between the press-fit connections at the upper and lower sections of the sidewall; and wherein the container further comprises a desiccant chamber between the bottom of the insert element and the base of the container body for receiving a predetermined amount of desiccant material. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A container for receiving moisture sensitive goods comprising:
-
a container body and a cap;
wherein the cap and the container body are shaped to establish, in a closed state, a leak-proof seal between the container body and the cap;wherein the container body comprises a base and a sidewall extending upwards from the base; an insert element comprising a bottom and an insert sidewall, wherein the insert element is contained within an interior of the container body, such that an outer circumferential surface of the insert sidewall is in abutting contact with an inner circumferential surface of the sidewall of the container body; wherein the bottom of the insert element is permeable to moisture; wherein the insert sidewall and the sidewall of the container body are designed to attach the insert element inside the container body; wherein in an area in a lower portion and in an upper portion of the sidewall of the insert element, the insert element has an outer diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of a sidewall of the container opposite from the outer most diameter of the sidewall of the insert element and accordingly the lower portion and upper portion of the insert element and/or the sidewall of the container are deformed when the insert element is introduced into the container thereby establishing a press-fit connection with the sidewall of the container body at an upper and lower section of the sidewall of the insert element and an airtight annular seal between the insert element and the container body; and wherein the container further comprises a desiccant chamber between the bottom of the insert element and the base of the container body for receiving a predetermined amount of desiccant material.
