PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collecting container and a collecting device which can be used while being fitted on a patient (a person to be collected), and of which the structure is simple and easy to handle. SOLUTION: This collecting container is equipped with a container body which forms a specified space to a diaphragm, a collecting needle which is approximately vertically projected on a surface being opposite from the surface on which a diaphragm of the container body is provided, and is provided while communicating with the space, and a protective member which normally is positioned on the outside of the distal end of the collecting needle by being elastically deflected. The collecting device is equipped with a first displacing mechanism which displaces the container body to the surface side on which the collecting needle is attached, and a second displacing mechanism which returns the diaphragm by releasing the displacing force after the diaphragm has been displaced, and generates a negative pressure in the space. Then, a controlling means which operates the first and second displacing mechanisms through a timer is provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
