In addition to providing the concave portion 9 of the opening, an outlet 12 is formed in the bottom plate 10, and the outer edge is connected to the upper edge of both side plates 11 via a thin outer hinge 13, and the lower surface is in contact with the upper surface of the side plate 11. A pair of elastic plates 3 are provided, the inner edges of each elastic plate are connected to both side edges via a thin inner hinge 14, and the lower surface is brought into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 10 to take out the outlet 12
And a lid plate 4 inserted into the outlet 12 by engaging the outer surfaces of a pair of locking plates 15 suspended from the back surface with the side edges of the outlet 12. As a tablet container made of synthetic resin.

Further, the container according to the second aspect of the present invention is a container
Fitting tube 18 protruding from the upper surface at the opening opening at the lower end surface of the
And a bottom cover 5 having one edge rotatably connected to the bottom edge of the container body 2 via a thin hinge 17.
The tablet container according to claim 1, wherein each of the locking plates 15 is pulled out of the outlet 12 when the elastic plates 3 are turned upside down.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The tablet container 1 of the present invention is integrally formed of a synthetic resin, and includes a container body 2, a cover plate 4 supported by a pair of elastic plates 3, and a bottom cover 5. . The container main body 2 has a flat box shape formed by connecting a front plate 6 and a rear plate 7 with a narrow connecting plate 8 and has a concave portion 9 at the center of the top.

The recess 9 is formed by a bottom plate 10 and left and right side plates 11 and 11, and has an opening in the front and rear surfaces and the upper surface in which each side plate 11 extends upward so that the upper edge is located outside the lower edge. . An outlet 12 is formed in the bottom plate 10 of the recess 9. In the illustrated example, the front view has an arc shape that protrudes upward, and both sides of the bottom plate 10 have a horizontally-long rectangular shape in plan view.
The side plates 11 each have an arc shape projecting obliquely outward and downward in a plan view, and the side plates 11 each having a horizontally long rectangular shape in a plan view are respectively extended to form the concave portions 9.
Is formed.

The elastic plate 3 has outer edges connected to upper edges of both side plates 11 forming the concave portion 9 through thin outer hinges 13 so that the lower surface abuts on the upper surface of the side plate 11, and the inner edge has a thin wall. It is connected to both side edges of the cover plate 4 via the inner hinges 14, respectively. The shape of each elastic plate 3 can be variously selected. For example, as shown in the drawing, the elastic plate 3 has a plate-like shape having a downwardly concave arc shape in a front view and a horizontal rectangular shape in a plan view, or an upward view in a front view. A plate having a protruding arc shape and a horizontally long rectangular shape in plan view, a simple horizontally long rectangular plate shape, or the like may be used, and is selected according to the shape of the side plate 11 of the recess 9 described above. The outer hinge 13 of the illustrated elastic plate is
The inner hinge 14 is formed by forming a concave groove from the inner surface, and the inner hinge 14 is formed by forming a concave groove from the inner surface. Is made easier.

[0010] The cover plate 4 is formed by connecting an inner edge of each elastic plate 3 to an inner hinge.
The lower surface is connected to both side edges via 14 and the lower surface is brought into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 10, and the outer surfaces of a pair of locking plates 15 suspended from the rear surface are engaged with both side edges of the outlet 12 and inserted into the outlet 12. Mated. In addition, a finger hook protruding piece 16 is protruded from an edge of the cover plate 4. The locking plate 15 may be configured such that its outer surface slides closely to both side edges of the outlet 12 to further improve the airtightness inside.

The bottom cover 5 is tightly closed by a fitting tube 18 projecting from an upper surface into an opening opening at the lower end surface of the container body 2 and has one edge portion thinly attached to the bottom edge portion of the container body 2. Hinge 17
Are rotatably connected via a.

In the tablet container 1 as described above, when the finger-hanging projection 16 is pushed upward from the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
Each elastic plate 3 is rotated around the outer hinge 13 while being elastically deformed and turned upward, and is stabilized at a position where it has returned to the original inelastic deformation state, with which the cover plate 4 moves upward. Then, each locking plate 15 comes out of the outlet 12. If the container main body 2 is tilted from this state, the stored tablets can be moved between the lid plate 4 and each locking plate 15 and fall down to be taken out. After use, by pushing the cover plate 4, each elastic plate 3 is inverted while elastically deforming and returns to the original state, and accordingly, the cover plate 4 also returns to the original closed state of the outlet 12.

[0013]

As described above, the tablet container of the present invention comprises:
With the above-described configuration, in particular, a concave portion 9 having a front surface and an upper surface opening is provided at the center of the top of the box-shaped container main body 2, and an outlet 12 is formed in the bottom plate 10, and a thin wall is formed on the upper edge of both side plates 11. The outer edges are connected to each other via the outer hinges 13, and a pair of elastic plates 3 are provided on the upper surface of the side plate 11 to abut the lower surfaces thereof. The inner edges of each elastic plate are connected to both side edges via the thin inner hinge 14. At the same time, since the cover plate 4 is provided with the lower surface abutting the upper surface of the bottom plate 10 and closed, the cover plate 4 can be opened by a simple operation of pushing out the cover plate 4 and a simple operation of pushing back the cover plate 4. The lid can be closed for convenient handling.

Further, since the outer surfaces of a pair of locking plates 15 erected from the back surface of the lid plate 4 are engaged with both side edges of the outlet 12 and inserted and fitted into the outlet 12, each elastic plate is closed when the lid is closed. In addition to the locking force, the cover plate 4 can be more securely maintained in the closed state, and cannot be easily opened by an external force. When the cover is opened, the cover is placed on the palm and tilted. By itself, a substantially predetermined amount of tablets slides into a region surrounded by the lid plate 4 and each locking plate 15 and is transferred to the palm as it is, so that taking out is convenient.

Further, a fitting tube 18 protruding from the upper surface is tightly fitted in an opening portion opened in the lower end surface of the container body 2 and closed, and a thin hinge 17 is provided on one edge portion on the bottom edge portion of the container body 2. The bottom cover 5 rotatably connected to the elastic plate 3 is provided so that each locking plate 15 comes out of the outlet 12 when the elastic plate 3 is turned upside down. Since it can be integrally formed, it has an advantage that it can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.
