DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The tablet container 1 of the present invention includes a container body A, a cap body B, a lid body C, and a movable lid plate D.
[0009]
The container body A is configured by raising the mouth and neck portion 3 from the trunk portion 2.
The cap body B is configured by extending a weighing pan 5 that covers the front part in the peripheral wall 4 inward from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 4 in which the lower part is fitted to the outer periphery of the neck and neck. Various forms of the weighing pan 5 can be adopted, but the opening portion other than the covering portion of the weighing pan needs to have at least a size through which the tablet stored in the container can pass, so that the size of the weighing pan 5 is adjusted to the size. .
[0010]
In the present embodiment, the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 4 is formed thinner from the upper side through the downward stepped portion a formed at the lower portion of the inner surface, and the screw provided around the inner surface below the downward stepped portion a is screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth neck portion. It is screwed onto the strip. Further, a flange-like top plate 6 is extended inward from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 4, and a circular arc band shape is formed in a plan view from the front half of the inner peripheral edge of the top plate 6, and it is formed in a V-shaped longitudinal section. Thus, a weighing pan 5 for placing tablets in a single arc is provided. In addition, a fitting cylinder 7 for fitting the lid body C is provided upright from the inner peripheral edge of the top plate. Furthermore, a large number of longitudinal grooves 8 for fitting the movable cover plate D are formed in the circumferential direction above the mouth / neck portion fitting portion at the rear of the peripheral wall 4.
[0011]
The lid C closes the upper surface of the cap main body B so that it can be opened and closed. In the illustrated example, the rear lower end of the peripheral wall 9 is rotatably connected to the upper rear end of the cap main peripheral wall 4 via a thin hinge. The top wall 10 extends from the upper edge. The connection between the lid body C and the cap body B is not limited to the thin-walled hinge in the illustrated example, and it is naturally possible to connect the lid body C and the cap body B by a known elastic reversal coupling mechanism capable of performing elastic reversal.
In addition, a locking hole 11 for fitting a rod-like protrusion (to be described later) of the movable lid plate D is formed on the back surface of the top wall 10. The locking hole 11 has a tapered introduction portion 11a extending downward extending to the lower end opening, and the upper portion is formed in a recess having the same shape as the tip of the rod-like protrusion.
[0012]
The movable cover plate D is a position where the rear peripheral edge is fitted to the rear part of the inner peripheral surface of the cap main body peripheral wall 4 so that the tablet cannot pass from a position where a gap allowing the tablet to pass between the weighing dish 5 is opened. The rod-like protrusion 12 is erected from the front part of the upper surface.
[0013]
In the illustrated example, a semicircular disk shape is formed, and a plurality of engaging protrusions 13 are slidably fitted in the peripheral edge of the rear portion so as to be slidably fitted to the vertical grooves 8 respectively.
Further, the tip of the rod-shaped protrusion 12 is removably closely fitted and locked in the locking hole 11 drilled in the center of the back surface of the top wall 10 of the lid, and the locking prevents the tablet from passing through with the opening. The movable cover plate D is configured to be pulled up to the position to be moved.
[0014]
Hereinafter, the case where the tablet container comprised as mentioned above is used is demonstrated.
When the container is inverted with the lid C closed, the tablet b in the container is weighed to the weighing pan 5 through the gap between the movable lid plate D and the weighing pan 5. Next, when the lid C is opened and the container is inverted again, the weighed tablet b can be taken out. At this time, as the lid C rotates, the rod-like protrusion 12 whose tip is closely fitted and locked in the locking hole 11 is pulled up, and the movable lid plate D is raised to a position where the tablet cannot pass through. It can prevent the tablet inside the body from going outside. When the movable cover plate D moves to the highest position, the engagement between the locking hole 11 and the rod-shaped protrusion 12 is released. Next, when the container is erected again and the lid is closed, the locking hole 11 engages with the tip of the rod-shaped protrusion 12 and pushes down the movable lid D to return to the original state. At this time, the upper end of the rod-like protrusion 12 is surely fitted into the locking hole 11 due to the presence of the tapered introduction portion 11a.
Note that all of the above members can be formed of synthetic resin or the like.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the container of the present invention has the rear peripheral edge fitted to the rear part of the inner peripheral surface of the cap main body B so that the tablet cannot pass from the position where a gap allowing the tablet to pass between the weighing pan 5 is opened. It is mounted so that it can slide up and down with a predetermined width up to the position where it is to be moved, and a movable lid plate D is provided in which a rod-like protrusion 12 is erected from the front part of the upper surface, and the tip of the rod-like protrusion 12 is placed on the back of the lid top wall 10 The lock hole 11 is detachably fitted and locked in the perforated lock hole 11 and the movable cover plate is pulled up to a predetermined position along with the opening by the lock, so that the container stands upright after being inverted. It is possible to measure a predetermined amount of tablets with a simple operation, and by opening the lid, the tablet outlet is closed, so if the container is tilted, the measured amount of tablets can be taken out. Furthermore, if the lid is closed, it will automatically return to its original state where it can be weighed. Because, extremely easy to use is good. Further, since the tablets are weighed out and taken out, there is no possibility of causing inconvenience such as returning the tablets taken out of the palm or the like back into the container.
[0016]
In addition, in the case where the locking hole 11 formed by extending the tapered introduction portion 11a extending downward to the lower end opening portion is used, when the opened lid body is closed, the engagement is provided via the tapered introduction portion. Since the tip end of the rod-like protrusion 12 is closely fitted in the stop hole 11, there is an advantage that the tip end of the protrusion 12 can be surely fitted and that the movable cover plate can be smoothly moved up and down.
[0017]
In addition, in a case where the container body mouth / neck portion 3 has an arc belt shape in plan view covering the front edge of the upper end opening front portion and employs a weighing pan 5 on which tablets are placed in a row arc shape, the weighing is performed when the container is inverted. Even when an excess tablet may overlap with the formed tablet, it has the advantage that it can be surely returned to the container body when standing upright and always accurately measured.
