- the compression rate of the compression part 52 is the ratio of the distortion amount to the thickness of the compression part 52 in the natural state (the state where the compression part 52 is not sandwiched between the tube tip part 20 and the outer cap 36).
- the compression ratio is less than 5%, the adhesiveness between the cylindrical wall portion 44 and the cylindrical tip portion 20 is weak, and there is a concern that the desired pressure resistance performance cannot be obtained.
- the compression ratio exceeds 50%, the opening torque of the cap 14 becomes too large, and the cap 14 is difficult to open. Therefore, by setting the compression ratio to 5 to 50%, it is possible to effectively prevent the opening torque of the cap 14 from becoming too large while ensuring good pressure resistance performance.
- the cap 14 moves slightly in the distal direction from the state in which the cap 14 is in close contact with the distal end surface 20b of the tube tip portion 20, and the proximal end surface of the base portion 42 of the inner cap 34 Even when 43 is slightly separated from the distal end surface 20b of the tube tip portion 20, leakage of the chemical solution M can be effectively prevented. That is, as shown in FIG.
- the cylindrical wall portion 44 of the inner cap 34 made of an elastic material is Compressed between the outer peripheral surface 20 a of the portion 20 and the inner peripheral surface 37 of the outer cap 36. For this reason, the outer peripheral surface 20a of the tube tip portion 20 and the inner peripheral surface 45 of the cylindrical wall portion 44 are in close contact with each other, and a liquid tight seal is formed at the close contact portion. Therefore, the chemical solution M in the barrel body 12 does not leak to the outside of the cap 14.
- the axial length L of the compression portion 52 is 0.5 mm or more, the length of the liquid-tight seal due to the close contact between the tubular wall portion 44 and the tubular tip portion 20 can be appropriately increased. it can. Thereby, the leak of the chemical

- the inner peripheral surface 45 of the cylindrical wall portion 44 has a shape substantially corresponding to the outer peripheral surface 20 a of the cylindrical tip portion 20. Thereby, the axial direction length of the contact part of the cylindrical wall part 44 and the cylinder tip part 20 becomes longer than the axial direction length of the enlarged diameter part 54, and the contact
- the shape substantially corresponding to the outer peripheral surface 20 a of the tube tip portion 20 means a shape in which most of the inner peripheral surface 45 of the cylindrical wall portion 44 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface 20 a of the tube tip portion 20.
- the axial length L of the compression part 52 is shorter than the axial length of the cylindrical wall part 44, it is effective to increase the opening torque of the cap 14 due to the provision of the compression part 52. Can be suppressed.

That is, when the diameter of the tip opening portion 21 of the tube tip portion 20 is relatively large, the cap 14 is firmly closed (the inner cap 34 and the tip end surface 20b of the tube tip portion 20 are in close contact with each other). The pressure applied to the cap 34 is large. For this reason, when the diameter of the tip opening part of the tube tip part is relatively large (for example, when the diameter is 1.5 mm or more) with a conventional cap in which the compression part 52 is not provided, the liquid is likely to leak. On the other hand, according to the present invention, even if the diameter of the distal end opening 21 of the tube tip portion 20 is relatively large at 1.5 mm or more, the liquid leakage is effective by providing the compression portion 52. Can be prevented.
