BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A medicine box with a simple lock according to the present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a medicine box with a simple lock of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the medicine box of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a medicine box with a simple lock including an engaging portion. . FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the medicine box with a simple lock according to the present invention. A simple lock medicine box 10 according to the present invention includes a container body 20 and a lid body 30.
And a plurality of engaging portions 40, and a handle 50 is rotatably pivotally attached to the lid body.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the simple lock medicine box 10 of the present invention comprises a container body 20, a lid 30, an engaging portion 40, and a handle 50, and a plurality of engaging portions 40. Are provided on the peripheral shoulder portion of the lid body 30 at a constant interval. The lid body 30 is a lid placed on the container body 20, and is pivotally supported on the inner side of the container body so as to be rotatable in the longitudinal direction. When the lid body is rotated 90 degrees, the door is opened. The lid opens and closes so that the items stored in the container body can be taken out.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the container body 20 is
It is a rectangular parallelepiped whose upper surface is an opening, and a lid 30 is pivotally attached to the opening of the shape so as to be openable and closable. Normally, it is in a closed state and the engaging portion is pressed to lock the lid. It is configured to open when released.

The engaging portion 40 is a member for engaging the container body and the lid body, and is an elastic engaging body made of plastic provided on the shoulder portion at the peripheral edge of the lid body. As shown in FIG. 3, the tip of the
A key-shaped hook 42 is provided, and the hook 42 is engaged with a latch 44 portion provided on the container body.
The latch 44 is a protrusion provided in parallel with the upper end surface of the opening at the top of the container body, and is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. In this embodiment, the hook 42 is an elongated rectangular parallelepiped.
The shape is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped as long as it is a protrusion shape that can be engaged with. When opening the lid 30, the tip of the key portion of the hook 42 is disengaged from the protrusion of the latch 44 by pressing the side wall 40a of the engaging portion 40 inward of the container body, and the lid is lifted up in that state. By the lid 3
It is possible to open (unlock) 0.

In the illustrated embodiment, the engagement portion 40 is shown in FIG.
And as shown in FIG. 2, it is installed at four places, but the engaging part can be installed at any number of places. In this embodiment, it is assumed that two fingers of the left and right hands are used, and the finger is set according to the width of the finger of an adult. The engagement portion 40 is pushed into the inside of the box from the side surface 40a, the engagement of the hook is released, and the lid body 30 is opened. Although it is possible to use a push-in configuration from the top, it is possible that the child's hand may open it by accident. Therefore, the simple lock medicine box of the present invention adopts a push-in type from the lateral surface of the box.
Since it is pushed in from the side, it is necessary to apply unnatural pressure, and it is possible for an adult to freely adjust the degree of hand opening and force, but it is complicated for children. It has a unique structure and cannot be opened easily.

Further, the intervals at which the plurality of engaging portions 40 are installed are larger than the width of the finger of the child.
Since the fingers cannot reach even when the child opens his / her hand, it is difficult to press the side wall 40a of the engaging portion 40 at a plurality of positions at the same time. Also, the distance between children is such that they cannot be pushed in with both hands. Therefore, a double safety measure is applied. The distance between the engaging portions 40 is preferably about 10 cm to 14 cm when the adult's hand is widely spread.
As a result, it is impossible for a child to spread the hand and press the finger with force, so that the latch of the engagement portion cannot be released.

Further, in order to make it impossible for a child to open it, a pair of engaging portions are provided and the chain is not opened unless they are pressed simultaneously. In the embodiment shown in the drawings,
The pair of engaging portions has a structure in which another pair of engaging portions at a total of four positions are provided on the left and right sides of the container body, one pair each. Thus, even if the children could accidentally push one pair with two hands, it is necessary to push both the left and right sides at the same time, so that the safety is further enhanced.

In this embodiment, the lid is opened (unlocked) from the container body when the locking of the four engaging portions is released at the same time.
This is the configuration. For this reason, it is very safe for children, because two safety measures are taken: installing the engaging portions at intervals that cannot be opened by the child and pressing the engaging portions in pairs at the same time. It became possible to provide a simple lockable medicine box.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the medicine box with a simple lock according to the present invention. In this embodiment, two engaging portions 40 are set as a pair and are installed on the diagonal line of the container body.
By providing the pair of engaging portions 40 on the diagonal line, more complicated finger movements are required, and only an adult can operate the fingers. Further, any adult can very easily press the four fingers at the same time with both fingers open, the closure can be easily released, and the lid can be rotationally opened. Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to provide a medicine box having a structure in which the entire lid can be removed without pivotally supporting the lid body on the container body.

The medicine box of the present invention is not limited to storing medicines,
It is ideal for storage boxes for dangerous goods and cigarettes that are accidentally swallowed or swallowed by children. In addition, since the structure requires a complicated finger movement so that it cannot be opened by a child, there is an advantage that even if a child is present, the storage place for dangerous materials is not limited and can be stored anywhere.

[0018]

As described above in detail, in the medicine box with a simple lock according to the present invention, a plurality of engaging portions are provided at intervals, and the lid cannot be opened unless the chain is opened (unlocked) at the same time. Because there is, 1. It is possible to provide a highly safe simple lock medicine box having a very simple structure including a container main body, a lid, and an engaging portion that locks the lid to the container main body in a freely openable and closable manner. Since it is provided at a distance larger than the width of a child's finger, it is a structure that cannot be easily opened by a child and a structure that is easily opened by an adult. 2. Since one pair of engaging parts is provided on the left and right, it is difficult for a child to press all the engaging parts at the same time, making it difficult to open (unlock) the chain, and a double safety measure has been implemented. It is possible to provide a highly-locked medicine box with a simple lock. Since it requires complicated movements such as pushing four places at the same time, it is possible to store medicines, cigarettes, etc., which are dangerous materials for children, without being limited to a place.
