Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は錠剤を収納する錠剤収納容器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
錠剤を収納する容器を開蓋する手段には種々あるが、その多くは錠剤の取り出しの度に容器体の蓋を開閉させる点で共通している。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のような錠剤収納容器では、錠剤の取り出しの度に蓋を開閉しなければならず面倒であった。しかも携帯時に蓋を閉め忘れた場合には錠剤が容器外に出てしまう不都合があった。
一方、バネ力により蓋を自動的に閉めるものもあるが、部材数が多く、組立てにも時間を要していた。
【０００４】
請求項１及び２記載の錠剤収納容器は、バネにより蓋を自動閉鎖可能な開閉部材を一体成形することにより、部材数の低減を図ると共に、組立てを容易にするものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
第１の手段として、上面開口かつ下面閉塞の容器体１と、
容器体１上端に接続されて容器体上面を開閉自在な蓋体周壁の一部に切欠部１３を形成すると共に、蓋体頂壁１１ｃに出入口部１４を穿設した蓋１０と、
上記蓋体周壁１１内面に保持させたバネ材２４に接続させた前面及び下面開口の通路板体２１、２２から上記切欠部１３を介して蓋１０外部へ摘み部２９を突出する一体成形の開閉部材２０とを有し、
上記通路板体は上記頂壁出入口部１４を頂板２１で閉塞する閉塞位置と、上記摘み部２９の上動によりバネ材２４の弾性変形抵抗力に抗して出入口部１４から突出して蓋１０内外部を連通させる開口位置とを有する。
【０００６】
第２の手段として、上面開口かつ下面閉塞の容器体１と、
蓋体周壁１１を形成する左右側壁の一方の下端を肉薄ヒンジ１２を介して容器体１上端に接続させ、かつ蓋体前壁１１ｂに上下方向の切欠部１３を形成すると共に、蓋体頂壁１１ｃに出入口部１４を穿設した、容器体上面を開放自在に閉塞する蓋１０と、
上記蓋体出入口部１４を閉塞する頂板２１の左右側端のそれぞれから側板２２を、かつ頂板２１後端から端板２３を垂下し、両側板２２下部外面から下方湾曲板バネ２４を左右両方向へ突設して該板バネ先端を上記蓋体の左右側壁に固着させると共に、両側板２２を連結する連結材２６の中間部から垂下棒２７を垂下し、該垂下棒から突出棒２８を前方突設して切欠部１３を上下動自在に挿通させ、該突出棒先端に摘み板２９を固定させた一体成形の開閉部材２０とを有し、
上記開閉部材２０の頂板２１は上記蓋体出入口部１４を閉塞する閉塞位置と、上記摘み板２９の上動により板バネ２４の弾性変形抵抗力に抗して出入口部１４から突出して蓋内外部を連通させる開口位置とを有する。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。
図１及び図２において、１は容器体で、下面を底壁で閉塞した横断面矩形状の周壁２上端面の内周部から横断面矩形状の嵌合壁３を起立する。
【０００８】
１０は容器体１上面を開放自在に閉塞する蓋で、嵌合壁３外面へ周壁下端を嵌合させた横断面矩形状の蓋体周壁１１の一部を形成する右側壁１１ａ下端を肉薄ヒンジ１２を介して容器体周壁２上端外面に接続する。そして蓋体前壁１１ｂの中央下部に上下方向の切欠部１３を形成して該切欠部の下端面を蓋体前壁１１ｂの下端面に開口させる。
【０００９】
また、蓋体頂壁１１ｃに出入口部１４を穿設すると共に、蓋体頂壁１１ｃ内面の出入口部１４外縁から前後方向の第１係合突条１５を突設する。一方、蓋体前壁１１ｂと後壁１１ｄとのそれぞれの内面の両側部に上下方向の第２係合突条１６を突設する。
【００１０】
２０は開閉部材で、出入口部１４を閉塞する頂板２１の左右側端のそれぞれから側板２２を垂下すると共に、頂板２１後端から端板２３を垂下する。両側板２２下端外面から下方に膨出する下方湾曲の板バネ２４を左右両方向へ突設して該板バネ先端を上方へ屈曲させる。そして該屈曲部２５外面を第２係合突条１６上端内面と蓋体周壁１１の左右側壁内面との角部に固着させる。
【００１１】
さらに両側板２２の下端前端部を互いに連結する連結材２６の中間部から垂下棒２７を垂下し、該垂下棒下端から突出棒２８を前方突設して切欠部１３下部を上下動自在に挿通させ、該突出棒先端に、蓋体前壁１１ｂ外面を摺動自在な摘み板２９を固着させている。
【００１２】
上記構成に係る容器体１と蓋１０とは合成樹脂材で一体成形すると共に、開閉部材２０も同様に合成樹脂材で一体成形する。
また上記構成に係る錠剤収納容器を組み立てるには、図３に示すように蓋１０を開き、開閉部材２０の頂板２１を下方にして板バネ２４先端を第２係合突条１６内面に沿わせつつ板バネ２４先端が蓋体周壁１１の左右側壁内面に当接するまで蓋内へ押し込めばよく、この時点において突出棒２８は切欠部１３下部内に位置すると共に、摘み板２９は蓋体前壁１１ｂ外面に接面している。
【００１３】
次に本実施形態の作用について説明する。
容器から錠剤を取り出すには、図４に示すように頂板２１が出入口部１４内に位置する状態から摘み板２９を上方へ移動させればよく、すると開閉部材２０の側板２２と頂板２１とが板バネ２４の弾性変形抵抗力に抗して該板バネを弾性変形させつつ上昇して出入口部１４から突出をする。そして板バネ２４基部が第１係合突条１５下面に当接すると、頂板２１はそれ以上突出しない。
【００１４】
図５は頂板２１と側板２２とが出入口部１４から完全に突出した状態を示すもので、この状態において左右側板２２間の前面は開口し、かつ左右側板２２間の後面は端板２３で閉塞されていると共に、左右側板２２間の前面開口と容器体内とは左右側板２２間の空間を介して連通している。この状態から容器体を前方へ傾倒させると左右側板間の前面開口から錠剤が排出される。
【００１５】
錠剤排出後、摘み板２９を離すと板バネ２４はその弾性変形抵抗力により頂板２１と側板２２とを下方へ移動させる。そして板バネ２４が元の形状に戻った時点で頂板２１が出入口部１４内に位置して該出入口部を閉塞する。
つまり容器開口に際しては摘み板２９を押し上げる必要があるが、容器閉塞は板バネ２４のバネ力により自動的になされる。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
請求項１及び２記載の錠剤収納容器は、容器閉塞を、蓋体周壁内面に保持させたバネ材に接続させた前面及び下面開口の通路板体から切欠部を介して蓋外部へ摘み部を突出する開閉部材によって自動的に行うので、容器閉塞の面倒さや閉塞忘れといった不都合が生じない。
【００１７】
また、開閉部材は一体成形されているので、部材数が少なく、組立ても容易であり、コスト低減が図れる。

And an opening position for communicating with each other.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, and a fitting wall 3 having a rectangular cross section is erected from the inner peripheral portion of the upper end surface of the peripheral wall 2 having a rectangular cross section whose lower surface is closed with a bottom wall.
[0008]
Reference numeral 10 denotes a lid that freely closes the upper surface of the container body 1. The lower end of the right side wall 11 a that forms a part of the lid peripheral wall 11 having a rectangular cross section in which the lower end of the peripheral wall is fitted to the outer surface of the fitting wall 3 is a thin hinge. 12 is connected to the outer surface of the upper end of the peripheral wall 2 of the container body. A vertical cutout 13 is formed at the center lower portion of the lid front wall 11b, and the lower end surface of the cutout is opened to the lower end surface of the lid front wall 11b.
[0009]
In addition, an entrance / exit portion 14 is formed in the lid top wall 11c, and a first engaging ridge 15 in the front-rear direction is projected from the outer edge of the entrance / exit portion 14 on the inner surface of the lid top wall 11c. On the other hand, the second engaging ridges 16 in the vertical direction protrude from both sides of the inner surfaces of the lid front wall 11b and the rear wall 11d.
[0010]
An opening / closing member 20 hangs the side plate 22 from each of the left and right side ends of the top plate 21 that closes the entrance / exit part 14, and hangs the end plate 23 from the rear end of the top plate 21. A downwardly curved leaf spring 24 bulging downward from the outer surface of the lower end of both side plates 22 is projected in both the left and right directions, and the tip of the leaf spring is bent upward. Then, the outer surface of the bent portion 25 is fixed to the corner between the inner surface of the upper end of the second engaging protrusion 16 and the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the lid peripheral wall 11.
[0011]
Further, a hanging rod 27 is suspended from an intermediate portion of the connecting member 26 that connects the lower end front ends of the side plates 22 to each other, and a projecting rod 28 is projected forward from the lower end of the hanging rod, and the lower portion of the notch 13 is inserted in a vertically movable manner. Then, a knob plate 29 slidable on the outer surface of the lid front wall 11b is fixed to the tip of the protruding bar.
[0012]
The container body 1 and the lid 10 according to the above configuration are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, and the opening / closing member 20 is also integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.
In order to assemble the tablet container according to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 10 is opened, the top plate 21 of the opening / closing member 20 is faced down, and the tip of the leaf spring 24 is along the inner surface of the second engagement protrusion 16. The plate spring 24 may be pushed into the lid until the tip of the leaf spring 24 comes into contact with the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the lid body peripheral wall 11. At this time, the protruding bar 28 is located in the lower portion of the notch 13 and the knob plate 29 is placed on the front wall of the lid body. 11b is in contact with the outer surface.
[0013]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
In order to take out the tablet from the container, it is only necessary to move the knob plate 29 upward from the state in which the top plate 21 is located in the inlet / outlet portion 14 as shown in FIG. 4, and then the side plate 22 and the top plate 21 of the opening / closing member 20 are moved. The leaf spring 24 rises while being elastically deformed against the elastic deformation resistance of the leaf spring 24 and protrudes from the entrance / exit portion 14. And if the leaf | plate spring 24 base part contact | abuts to the 1st engagement protrusion 15 lower surface, the top plate 21 will not protrude any more.
[0014]
FIG. 5 shows a state in which the top plate 21 and the side plate 22 completely protrude from the entrance / exit portion 14. In this state, the front surface between the left and right side plates 22 is opened, and the rear surface between the left and right side plates 22 is closed by the end plate 23. In addition, the front opening between the left and right side plates 22 communicates with the inside of the container through the space between the left and right side plates 22. When the container body is tilted forward from this state, the tablet is discharged from the front opening between the left and right side plates.
[0015]
When the tab plate 29 is released after the tablets are discharged, the leaf spring 24 moves the top plate 21 and the side plate 22 downward by its elastic deformation resistance. When the leaf spring 24 returns to its original shape, the top plate 21 is located in the entrance / exit part 14 and closes the entrance / exit part.
That is, when the container is opened, it is necessary to push up the knob plate 29, but the container is automatically closed by the spring force of the leaf spring 24.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
The tablet storage container according to claim 1 or 2 is configured such that the knob is connected to the outside of the lid through the notch portion from the passage plate body of the front surface and the lower surface opening connected to the spring material held on the inner wall of the lid body. Since this is automatically performed by the protruding opening / closing member, there is no inconvenience such as troublesome closure of the container or forgetting to close the container.
[0017]
In addition, since the opening / closing member is integrally formed, the number of members is small, it is easy to assemble, and the cost can be reduced.
