DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 to 8 show one embodiment of the container of the present invention. The portable medicine container 1 as a container has a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape, and stores medicine for one dose or for one day. The medicine container 1 is made of a synthetic resin (polypropylene) and is colored so as to be transparent or transparent, and has an opening / closing lid 3 provided integrally with the container body 2.

The long side of the container body 2 has an engaging portion 4 as a connecting means for detachably connecting the medicine containers 1 to each other in a detachable manner. 5 are formed.

The opening / closing lid 3 is formed with a hinge portion 7 made of a thin portion on one short side of the upper edge portion 6 in the opening of the container body 2 and is connected so as to be resiliently bendable. The opening / closing lid 3 has an inner edge 8 that is accommodated inside the upper edge 6 in the opening of the container body 2 and an outer edge 9 that is in close contact with the end surface of the upper edge 6. A ridge 10 is provided at the center of the short side of the inner edge 8, and a locking groove 11 is formed inside the upper edge 6 to correspond to the ridge 10. Furthermore, the outer edge 9
A knob 12 for opening and closing the opening / closing lid 3 is formed in the central portion on the short side of (2) (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

The locking portion 4 is formed near the bottom on the side of the long side of the container body 2, and the locking hook 13 is made to protrude outward by the thickness t of the side surface of the container body 2 to the bottom. And extend in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the side surface of the container body 2 inside the locking hook 13 is formed to retreat toward the inside of the container body 2 by the thickness t of the side surface of the container body 2, whereby the locking hook 13 and the locking hook 13 are locked. Container body 2 inside hook 13
An engagement gap 14 is formed between the side surfaces. further,
A retaining ridge 15 is formed on the side of the container body 2 above the locking hook 13 (see FIG. 4).

On the other hand, the locking receiving portion 5 has an engaging piece 16 protruding by the thickness t of the side surface of the container main body 2, and the side of the container main body 2 inside the engaging piece 16 is positioned above the locking hook 13. Corresponding to the formation position of the holding ridge 15, it is formed to retreat inside the container body 2 by the thickness t of the side surface of the container body 2. With such a configuration, the engagement guide portion 17 is formed between the engagement piece 16 and the side surface of the container body 2 inside the engagement piece 16.

The medicine container 1 having the above structure can be provided for the number of times of taking or the number of days for taking the medicine, and a sticker (not shown) indicating the date and time of taking the medicine is attached to each medicine container 1. can do. Further, the name of the stored medicine may be described on the seal.

Next, the operation and the method of use of the portable medicine container 1 will be described. The administered medicine is stored in each medicine container 1 for one time or for one day, and the knob 12 of the opening / closing lid 3 is held. Then, it is pushed into the container body 2 side, and the opening / closing lid 3 is closed. At this time, the hinge part 7 is bent, the opening / closing lid 3 is closed toward the container body 2 side, and the inner edge 8 of the opening / closing lid 3 is fitted inside the upper edge 6 in the opening of the container main body 2, Since the inner edge 8 is deformed, the ridge 10 can be engaged with the locking groove 11 inside the upper edge 6, and the container body 2 can be sealed by the opening / closing lid 3 (FIG. 2). reference).

Next, the medicine containers 1 for the number of doses or the number of days are sequentially connected. The locking hooks 13 of the medicine container 1 to be connected are pushed from obliquely upward into the locking receiving portions 5 of the medicine container 1 to be connected (see FIG. 6). At this time, the locking hook 13 is engaged with the engagement guide portion 17 of the locking receiving portion 5.
And the locking hook 13 is fitted between the engaging piece 16 of the locking receiving portion 5 and the side of the container body 2. At this time, the engagement piece 16 is engaged with the engagement gap 14 between the locking hook 13 and the side surface of the container body 2. The projection 15 above the locking hook 13 is engaged with the engagement guide 17 of the locking receiving portion 5.
And the connection is completed (see FIG. 7). In this case, the engagement guide portion 17 of the medicine container 1 on the side to be connected and the side of the container body 2 inside the locking hook 13 on the side of the medicine container 1 to be connected are:
In each case, the thickness of the container body 2
Since the two medicine pots 1 are formed to be recessed inward, the medicine pots 1 are in close contact with each other via the side surface of the container body 2 and can be connected without rattling. In the case of taking different medicines at the same time, medicine containers 1 of different colors are used, and medicine containers 1 for the number of times of taking or the number of days for taking (for example, one week) are sequentially taken in order. The connection is made (see FIG. 8).

As described above, the medicine containers 1 for the number of times of taking or the number of days for taking are sequentially connected, and at the time of taking the medicine, the medicines are taken out from the medicine case 1 one by one and taken. In addition,
Since the medicine container 1 is transparent or colored so as to be transparent, it is possible to visually confirm whether or not the medicine has been taken, and there is no risk of forgetting to take the medicine or overlapping taking. Also, if the medicine containers 1 are separated one by one, the medicine containers 1 that have not been taken are in a connected state, so that it is possible to confirm whether or not the medicine container 1 has been taken.

Furthermore, since the medicine container 1 is small, it is easy to carry the medicine container 1 separately for the dose taken on that day.

Next, FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the container of the present invention. The medicine container 1 has a partition 18 in the container body 2.
May be provided to form a plurality of storage chambers.

With such a structure, when a plurality of medicines are taken at the same time, each medicine can be stored in a plurality of storage chambers in one medicine container 1. Accordingly, since another set of medicine container 1 is not prepared, the risk of forgetting to take the medicine and taking the medicine twice can be further reduced. Also, when taking medicine for one day, that is, in the morning, afternoon, and evening, each of the plurality of storage rooms (in this case, three storage rooms) formed in one medicine container 1 is provided. As we can store medicine of the morning, the afternoon, the evening,
There is no risk of forgetting to take or taking multiple doses.

In the embodiment, the container of the present invention is described as a medicine container. However, the container can be used for storing and organizing articles other than the medicine.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A single container by connecting multiple container bodies that can be opened and closed individually
The body can be constructed, and articles such as medicines can be stored separately in each container body or partitioned storage room, and in the case of medicines, it can contribute to taking according to the specified usage and dose. It can be used for storing and organizing articles.
