Some examples of specific embodiments of the container 1 with a tablet-shaped confectionery shooting function according to the present invention as described above will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the internal structure of the tablet-shaped confectionery container 1 with a shooting function according to the present invention. Here, FIG. 1A is a perspective view from the front view direction, FIG. 1B is a perspective view from the side view direction, and FIG. 1C is a perspective view from the plan view direction.

  As can be seen from the figure, the container 1 of the present invention has a container 3 for storing various tablet-shaped confectionery 2 of a predetermined size on the market in a random state, and a tablet-shaped confectionery 2 one by one in order. Guide section 4 for guiding the ejection, injection mechanism 6 for actually shooting tablet-shaped confectionery 2 using the elasticity of spring 5, slide-type operation section 7 for operating ejection mechanism 6, tablet-shaped confectionery toward a predetermined direction The opening 8 formed for discharging 2 is a basic component.

  Further, in the case of FIG. 1, a vertically upward opening 8 is formed in the upper part of the container 1, and a configuration in which the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 is shot up one by one is shown. The cover member 9 for protecting the opening 8 is used. The lid member 9 is connected to the main body of the container 1 by a hinge 10 and can be freely opened and closed. Of course, when the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 is shot out, the lid member 9 is opened and the slide type operation unit 7 is operated so as to be taken out one by one.

Next, the actual use procedure will be described for the illustrated type.
First, a desired plurality of tablet-shaped confectionery 2 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 3 of the container 1, which is configured to open the lid member 9 and to be fixed to the side of the opening 8 at the top of the main body by a stopper 11. The storage cover 12 is opened, and the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 is inserted from here.

  The plurality of tablet-shaped confectioneries 2 are accommodated in a random state in the accommodating portion 3. That is, it is not performed to arrange them neatly in the accommodating portion 3 so that it is convenient to play one by one.

  Among the accommodated tablet-shaped confectionery 2, the one located below the accommodating portion 3 is naturally guided to the guide portion 4 provided below the accommodating portion 3 by gravity. The guide portion 4 is narrowed in width and appropriately inclined so that tablet-shaped confectionery 2 having a shape and a size that are generally commercially available are arranged one by one in order and reach the injection mechanism 6. .

  Here, in the drawing, the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 is expressed as a spherical shape, but even in a shape that cannot be said to be spherical like the commercially available tablet-shaped confectionery 2, the guide portion 4 appropriately The width and the inclination are regulated so as to be guided to the injection mechanism 6 one by one.

  In order to actually shoot the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 from this state, after opening the lid member 9, the sliding operation portion 7 is slid down and operated, and the ejecting portion 13 is made elastic by the spring 5 in response to the movement. Move down against. Then, one tablet-shaped confectionery 2 is put on it, but when it is lowered to a predetermined position, it is released from the downward movement by the slide type operation unit 7, and receives the elastic force of the stored spring 5 at a stroke and passes through the opening 8. It is shot vertically upward with respect to the container 1.

  When the ejecting part 13 returns to the original position after shooting out the tablet-shaped confectionery 2, the next tablet-shaped confectionery 2 arranged in the guide part 4 descends the inclination and is in a normal state prepared at the shooting position. By operating the slide type operation unit 7 again, it is continuously shot out from the opening 8.

  The shooting strength of the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 depends on the elastic force of the spring 5. However, it is not necessary to shoot the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 that is a food too strongly, and it is preferable to adjust the spring strength so that it shoots up to about 10 cm to 20 cm when shooting up vertically as shown in the figure. .

  The structure for shooting out the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 housed in the container 1 of the present invention one by one is basically a small silver bullet housed in a “silver bullet gun” that has been used as a toy for children since ancient times. It is the same as that used for shooting out, and has a simple structure that is less prone to problems. However, in the present invention, since various kinds of tablet-shaped confectionery 2 that is commercially available instead of silver bullets are accommodated in the container 1, the shape and size of the accommodating portion 3 and the guide portion 4 and the degree of inclination are appropriate. The same consideration is given to the injection mechanism 6.

  Therefore, as long as the relationship between the accommodating portion 3 and the guide portion 4 and the injection mechanism 6 is appropriate, the shooting direction of the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 can be any predetermined direction.

  FIG. 2 is a drawing for explaining the external appearance in a state where the above-described product of the present invention is actually used. It is understood that the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 housed by opening the lid member 9 and operating the slide type operation unit 7 downward is shot out from one opening 8.

Moreover, about the external appearance structure of the container 1 of this invention, the thing of a skeleton type | mold using a transparent plastic material etc. is employ | adopted, and the internal structure and the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 accommodated as shown in the illustrated perspective view, and its shooting operation If the user can observe the above from the outside, the design can be aesthetically outstanding and the curiosity of the internal structure can be satisfied.
Of course, since the transparency in this case only needs to be seen through the internal structure, a transparent material containing colors such as red, blue, and pink is sufficient, and a partially opaque portion may exist. Absent.

As described above, the commercially available tablet-shaped confectionery 2 was accommodated in the container 1 of the present invention, and the shooting operation was actually performed. The spring 5 is strong enough to shoot about 20 cm vertically upward. When one shot was shot out with one hand, the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 shot with the other hand could be easily caught.
Further, when the container was operated with the container lifted above the face, the tablet-shaped confectionery 2 that was shot up and dropped could be directly caught by the mouth.
