Description

  The present invention relates to an inner plug to be attached to the mouth of a container, and more particularly to an inner plug that can take out a necessary amount of tablets from a container in which tablets such as drugs and nutrients are stored. .

Tablets such as drugs and nutrients are stored and stored in containers with lids. Each time a user takes a dose, he removes the lid, tilts the container, makes the opening face downward, and drops the tablet onto the palm and takes it out.
However, since the opening is wide, the number of tablets falling at a time cannot be regulated, so that more tablets than necessary are taken out. Therefore, excess tablets are once again taken back into the container.

  However, a tablet once taken out to the palm is not preferable in terms of hygiene because sebum, bacteria and the like adhere to it. Depending on the type of tablet, if sebum or the like adheres to the surface of the tablet taken out, it will be altered and it will not be possible to obtain the desired effect, so it is not preferable to take the tablet out of the container more than necessary.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the following inner plug is used. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
There is a ridge on the outer periphery of the upper end of the plug, a notch hole such as a rectangle is provided in the center of the bottom plate, a protruding plate that protrudes downward from one long side of this notch hole, and a shaft on the other short side The delivery body forms a semi-cylindrical shape, etc. with respect to the plug body that forms a strip and has a stepped portion for latching inside the upper end near the short side, and the inside of the cylinder serves as a delivery chamber. A support wall is vertically suspended from one corner to the top, a hooking protrusion is provided outside the upper end of the support wall, and a support rod is provided on the other corner, and this support rod is fitted to the shaft of the plug body. The structure of the inside stopper for taking out the quantitative tablet.

Utility Model Application Publication No. 38-3400

  Since the conventional internal stopper has a structure in which the tablet enters the delivery chamber from the side, it is difficult to reliably put the tablet into the delivery chamber. Further, after taking the tablet into the delivery chamber, when taking out the tablet out of the container, another tablet in the container may interfere with the rotation of the delivery chamber, making it difficult to smoothly take out the tablet.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to enable a predetermined amount of tablets to be taken out smoothly.

  The present invention is an inner plug comprising: a cylindrical body attached to a container mouth portion; an inclined wall that closes the cylindrical body; and an outlet provided at the top of the inclined wall; A three-pronged take-out turning member is provided opposite to the take-out port on the outside of the support plate. The take-off turn member includes a receiving plate having a pair of left and right placing portions, and both the placing portions. And a baffle plate that restricts the flow of the tablet into the outlet and a holding portion that rotatably supports the plates.

  The present invention is an inner plug comprising: a cylindrical body attached to a container mouth portion; an inclined wall that closes the cylindrical body; and an outlet provided at the top of the inclined wall; A three-pronged take-out turning member is provided opposite to the take-out port on the outside of the support plate. The take-off turn member includes a receiving plate having a pair of left and right placing portions, and both the placing portions. A baffle plate standing on the boundary of the part and restricting the inflow of the tablet to the outlet, and a rotating shaft provided on the baffle plate and rotatably supported by the holding part. Features.

  The present invention is an inner plug comprising: a cylindrical body attached to a container mouth portion; an inclined wall that closes the cylindrical body; and an outlet provided at the top of the inclined wall; On the outside, a three-pronged take-out turning member is provided opposite to the take-out port, and the take-out turn member has a receiving plate having a placement portion and an inflow of tablets to the take-out port. A baffle plate to be regulated and a push plate for rotating a rotating shaft fixed to the both plates are provided.

  The outlet is provided with a guide projection. The length of the pressing plate is longer than that of the receiving plate and the baffle plate. The inner plug is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin.

  In the present invention, since the three-pronged take-out turning member is provided on the outer side of the inclined wall so as to face the take-out port, the tablet can be set smoothly in the mounting chamber. Then, when the take-out rotation member is rotated to take out the tablet, the baffle plate smoothly promotes the rotation of the take-out rotation member. Therefore, since a necessary amount of tablets can be reliably taken out, there is no need to return the extra tablets taken out as in the conventional example into the container.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A plurality of tablets T are stored in the container 1. Each tablet T is formed in the same shape, for example, a disk shape having a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 5 mm.

  An inner plug 4 is attached to the mouth 2 of the container 1. The inner plug 4 includes a cylindrical body 5, an outlet 7, an inclined wall 8, and an extraction turning member 10.

  The cylindrical body 5 is formed in a cylindrical shape from a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS resin, elastomer, or the like, and a flange 12 is provided at an outer end 5a thereof. The flange 12 ensures sealing with the lid and facilitates the attachment and detachment of the inner stopper 4 to the container mouth portion 2. The outlet 7 is a top opening of the inclined wall 8, is formed in a rectangular shape, and is located in the center of the inside of the cylindrical body 5. The opening area of the outlet 7 is an area that allows two tablets T to pass in parallel, and the area is appropriately selected as necessary.

  The inclined wall 8 is a blocking wall that is inclined from the inner end 5 b of the cylindrical body 5 toward the central portion of the cylindrical body 5, and the top portion 8 a forms an opening edge of the outlet 7. The inclined wall 8 has a function of guiding the tablet to the outlet 7, and the inclination angle is appropriately selected as necessary.

  The take-out turning member 10 is formed in a three-pronged shape and includes a receiving plate 15 and a baffle plate 17. The receiving plate 15 has a pair of left and right mounting portions 15a and 15b, and the central portion thereof has a convex mountain shape inside. The width W of the receiving plate 15 is slightly smaller than the width of the outlet 7, and a stopper (not shown) is provided on the side of the receiving plate 15 on the front end side. This stopper abuts against the opening edge of the inclined wall 8 when the receiving plate 15 is rotated by a predetermined angle, for example, 50 degrees, and prevents further rotation.

  The baffle plate 17 is a rectangular plate erected on the boundary between the mounting portions 15 a and 15 b of the receiving plate 15. The width of the baffle plate 17 is slightly smaller than the width of the outlet 7, and a notch 20 is formed at the tip of the baffle plate 17.

  A rotation shaft 19 is provided on the side surface of the baffle plate 1, and the rotation shaft 19 is rotatably supported by a holding portion 13 formed at the opening edge of the inclined wall 8. The mounting position of the rotary shaft 19 is preferably designed above the intersection 17a of the receiving plate 15 and the baffle plate 17, that is, on the baffle plate 17, but the position is appropriately selected as necessary. Can do. A guide protrusion 22 that restricts the drop of the tablet T is provided on the opening edge of the inclined wall 8 (the edge of the outlet).

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
Remove the lid of the container 1 (not shown), and remove the tablet presser (a sheet made of plastic or the like rolled up into a lump) from the container to prevent the tablet from being damaged by vibration such as vibration of the container. Take out. The container 1 is turned upside down and the mouth 2 is directed downward. Then, the tablet T in the container 1 flows down while being guided by the inclined wall 8 and enters the mounting chamber R formed by the outlet 7 and the receiving plate 15 as shown in FIG. One piece is placed on each of 15a and 15b. At this time, the guide protrusion 22 regulates the drop of the tablet T.

First pick:
When the tip 15s of the mounting portion 15b of the receiving plate 15 is pushed inward with a finger, the rotating member 10 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the other mounting portion 15a also rotates in the same direction. The interval between the portion 15f and the inner wall of the cylindrical body 5 gradually increases. When the mounting portion 15a is rotated by a predetermined angle, for example, 50 degrees, the distance between the tip portion 15f and the inner wall of the cylindrical body 5 is larger than the tablet T. Drop away from the part 15a. At this time, by setting the design position of the rotary shaft 19 on the baffle plate, the radius of rotation about the rotary shaft is increased, so that the necessary rotation angle of the mounting portion 15a can be reduced. Moreover, since the inner plug is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, the operating state can be easily visually confirmed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the front end portion 17 f of the baffle plate 17 is positioned obliquely above the outlet 7, and the distance between the front end portion 17 f and the inner surface of the cylindrical body 5 is smaller than the tablet T 0, The tablet T0 is prevented from flowing down. Therefore, since the tablet T0 cannot fall into the takeout port 7, only one tablet can be reliably taken out.

  When the tip portion 15s of the placement portion 15a is pushed up and rotated by the same rotation angle in the opposite direction, the receiving plate 15 returns to the original state, the baffle plate 17 is in the vertical state, and the tablet T0 is removed from the outlet. 7 and is placed on the placement portion 15a.

Second pick;
Next, when the tip portion 15f of the placement portion 15a of the receiving plate 15 is pushed inward with a finger, only one tablet T on the placement portion 15b is taken out in the same manner as described above.
In this case, instead of pushing up the tip portion 15f of the placement portion 15a, the tip portion 15s of the placement portion 15b may be pushed up as in the case of taking out the first piece.

Take out 3rd or more:
Take out the required number of tablets as described above.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 5 have the same names and functions.
The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows.
(1) Although the take-out port 7A is formed in a rectangular shape, the opening area is smaller than the take-out port 7.
(2) The receiving plate 30 of the take-out turning member 10A is formed to be half the size of the receiving plate 15 and includes one mounting portion 30a.

  (3) The rotating shaft 19A is disposed at the intersection 38 of the receiving plate 30, the baffle plate 17A, and the pressing plate 35. The inner surfaces of the receiving plate 30 and the baffle plate 17A are continuous arcuate surfaces, and the length of the push plate 35 is longer than that of the receiving plate 30 and the baffle plate 17A.

  (4) A guide 39 is provided on the inner surface of the inclined wall 8A to make the tablet flow smooth.

  Although the operation of the present embodiment will be described, it is almost the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, when the opened container 1 is turned upside down and the mouth portion 2 is turned down, the tablet T in the container 1 flows down while being regulated by the guide 39 of the inclined wall 8, as shown in FIGS. Then, it enters the placement chamber R formed by the outlet 7A and the receiving plate 30, and one piece is placed on the placement portion 30a. At this time, the guide protrusion 22 restricts the movement of the tablet T, and the tablet T0 is connected to the tablet T.

First pick:
When the free end of the push plate 35 is pushed inward with a finger, the rotating member 10A rotates in the clockwise direction, and the distance between the tip 30f of the receiving plate 30 and the inner wall of the cylindrical body 5 gradually increases. When the placement portion 30a rotates by a predetermined angle and reaches the position of the chain line, the distance between the tip portion 30f and the inner wall of the cylindrical body 5 is larger than the tablet T. Therefore, the tablet T It drops away from the mounting part 30a.

  At this time, the tip portion 17s of the baffle plate 17A is positioned obliquely above the outlet 7A as shown by the chain line in FIG. Since it becomes smaller, the flow of the tablet T0 is prevented. Therefore, since the tablet T0 cannot fall into the takeout port 7, only one can be reliably taken out.

  When the mounting portion 30a is pushed up and rotated by the same rotation angle in the opposite direction to the above, the receiving plate 30 returns to the original state, the baffle plate 17 becomes vertical, and the tablet T0 flows into the outlet 7A, It mounts on the mounting part 30a.

Second pick;
Next, when the free end portion of the push plate 35 is pushed inward with a finger, only one tablet T0 on the placement portion 30a is taken out in the same manner as described above.

Take out 3rd or more:
Take out the required number of tablets as described above.

  The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, instead of providing the rotation shaft on the baffle plate, it may be provided at the intersection of the receiving plate and the baffle plate.
