PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container to accommodate a tool for simply and securely preventing the jaw muscles of remains from slackening and opening the mouth after the death of a human being, and a device composed of related units for this prevention purpose.SOLUTION: The device 1 includes a tool 30 to prevent the jaws of remains from slackening and a container 2 to accommodate the tool 30. The jaw slackening preventive tool includes an about U-shaped fork connector 31 arranged inside the grinders and having left and right wall parts, and a pair of boards 34 covering the molars of remains by extending outward from the top ends of the left and right parts at both ends of the fork-shaped connector. An adhesive agent layer 40 is formed on the surfaces in contact with the molars at the top and bottom board surfaces. The container comprises its body 3 in which the jaw slackening preventive tool is set and a lid 4 with a space for covering the tool integrated into one by means of a foldable connector 5, so that they can hold a fork-shaped branch 33 between them, and the lid on the board housing space can have a clearance from the boards.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】死後、顎部の筋肉が弛緩し、口が開くのを簡便かつ確実に防止できる顎弛緩防止具を収容するための容器及びこれらのユニットからなる遺体用顎弛緩防止装置を提供する。【解決手段】遺体用顎弛緩防止装置1は、顎弛緩防止具30とそれを収容する容器2からなる。顎弛緩防止具は、臼歯の内側面に配置される左右壁部を有する略U字状の二股状接合部材31と、該二股状接合部材の両端部側の左右壁部上端から外側方に延在する、遺体の臼歯を覆う一対の板状部34とを備え、上記板状部の上面及び下面の臼歯と接触する面に粘接着剤層40が形成されている。容器は、顎弛緩防止具を載置するための本体部3と、顎弛緩防止具を覆うための空間部を有する蓋部4とが折曲自在な連結部5によって一体的に連結されており、二股状分岐部33を挟持するように、且つ板状部収容空間の蓋部分は板状部との間に隙間を有するように構成されている。【選択図】図1
