  As shown in FIG. 4, a mounting hole 33 is formed on the side wall 13a, a mounting hole 34 is formed on the side wall 13c, and the waterproof sheet 10a is folded on the folding piece 16 to assemble the box 10 into the mounting hole 34. A matching mounting hole 34a is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the box body 10 is provided with a string portion 36 of a hook 35 for suspension by passing through attachment holes 33 and 34. When the medicine container constituted by the box 10 filled with the medicine 30 is suspended in the washing tank, that is, when the medicine container is used as an in-tank type, the hook 35 is hooked on the washing tank and the medicine container is washed with water. Mounted in the tank. On the other hand, when the medicine container is placed on the tank with hand-washing, that is, when the medicine container is used as an on-tank type, the hook 35 may be hooked on the faucet or not used.

  The waterproof sheet 10a shown in FIG. 4 is cut into a shape shown in the figure by cutting a larger waterproof sheet material than the above, and cuts 24a to 24d, slits 26, and through holes 27 and 28 are formed in the waterproof sheet 10a. The The surface of the waterproof sheet 10a is a decorative surface, on which the product name, the type of the medicine 30, and the like are printed and colored. In the case of illustration, printing is performed on the surface of the base material layer made of PP, and the skin layer is laminated together with the back surface by thermocompression bonding, so that the ink on the printing surface is not dissolved by moisture, Moreover, it is possible to prevent dirt from adhering to both the front and back surfaces. Furthermore, since the waterproof sheet 10a is comprised from the base material layer and the skin layer laminated | stacked on the both surfaces, it looks good.

  In order to assemble the waterproof sheet 10a formed in the shape of the developed view shown in FIG. 4 to form the box body 10, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the back surface of the waterproof sheet 10a was set inside and printing was performed. Each side wall 13a, 13b is bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the front wall 11 with the surface, that is, the decorative surface side as the front side, and the respective back wall pieces 12a, 12b are bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the side walls 13a, 13b. The engaging tongue 25 is inserted into the box 10 through the slit 26.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, the box 10 is opened in the left and right sides in the figure. For example, the folding pieces 17 and 19 are bent substantially at right angles to the side walls 13a and 13b and the side wall 13d. Is folded at a substantially right angle with respect to the front wall 11 to fold the folded piece 15 into the box 10. Thereby, the folding pieces 17 and 19 are incorporated into the box 10. Under this state, after the medicine 30 is loaded inside the box body 10, the folding pieces 16 and 18 are bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the front wall 11, and the side wall 13 c is set at a substantially right angle with respect to the front wall 11. The folding piece 14 is folded into the box body by bending. Thereby, the folding pieces 16 and 18 are incorporated into the box 10. Next, the hook 35 is attached to the box 10 by passing the string portion 36 of the hook 35 through the attachment holes 33 and 34. Thus, the medicine container having the box 10 made of the waterproof sheet 10a is assembled, and the box 10 is packaged and distributed with a transparent film (not shown).

  When using the medicine container, the transparent packaging film is removed from the box body 10, and the box body 10 is installed in the flush toilet without removing the medicine 30 from the inside of the box body 10. For example, when the medicine container is used as an in-tank type, the box 10 is submerged in the washing water in the washing tank. Since the wash water enters the storage chamber 31 through the through holes 27 and 28 under the submerged condition, the chemical components are dissolved and automatically mixed into the wash water in the wash tank appropriately. Further, when used as an on-tank type, it is disposed on the hand-washing, and the water discharged from the faucet enters the storage chamber 31 through the through holes 27 and 28 and the drug component is dissolved. Under any use condition, both the front and back surfaces of the box 10 are waterproof, so that the box 10 can be used repeatedly over a long period of time without containing moisture. Moreover, since the skin layers are coated on both the front and back surfaces, the box 10 can be used as a clean drug container for a long period of time without being contaminated during use.

  After all the medicine 30 in the box 10 is dissolved and mixed in the washing water, the side wall 13c is opened to open the storage chamber 31, and a new medicine 30 is loaded therein. At this time, since the finger is pressed against the folding piece 14 to open the side wall 13c, the first back wall piece 12a is cut into the first back wall piece 12a as shown in FIGS. A notch 37 is formed.

  In this way, the box 10 has a function as a storage container for storing the medicine 30 and also has a function as a packaging container in the distribution stage. Since it can be used repeatedly, it can contribute to resource saving and suppress the generation of waste. Like conventional drug containers, when a drug container is incorporated into a packaging box and distributed, the chemical container is taken out from the packaging box when the chemical container is used, and the packaging box is discarded. Although it becomes waste, the chemical container of the present invention has a function as a container for storing the chemical solution when it is used and a function as a packaging container for transportation and protection during distribution, thereby reducing the generation of waste. be able to.

  Since the box body 10 that is assembled by folding the waterproof sheet 10a is used as a medicine container, a product name, a component name of the medicine 30, and the like can be colored and printed on the sheet surface. In addition, since the box 10 with the surface printed and used as a decorative surface is used, it is possible to check the internal drug characteristics, the product name, etc. at any time from the printed information even during use. The inside of the toilet can be neatly decorated by the box 10 that has become. Moreover, since the box 10 is formed of the waterproof sheet 10a, the waterproof sheet 10a can be manufactured by punching the sheet material with a punching die provided with a cutting blade. Compared with the case where a chemical container is manufactured by resin molding using a mold having the above, the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced.

  FIG. 6 is a process diagram showing an assembling procedure when assembling the box 10 in the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, cuts 41 are formed on both sides of the proximal end portion of the engagement tongue 25, and a portion near the cut of the engagement tongue 25 is an engagement fin 42. The cut 41 reaches the small hole 43 formed in the constricted portion of the engaging tongue 25, and the root width dimension between the two small holes 43 is D1, and the width dimension D2 of the engagement fin 42 is the root width. It is set to about one third of the dimension D1. Therefore, the width dimension D3 of the engagement tongue 25 is about five times the width dimension D2 of the engagement fin 42. On the other hand, the width 26 of the slit 26 including the small holes 44 formed at both ends thereof is set slightly larger than D1 and smaller than D3, and the engaging tongue 25 is formed on the second back wall piece 12b. When overlapped, the two small holes 43 of the engaging tongue 25 overlap with the two small holes 44 of the second back wall piece 12b in a slightly shifted state.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6A, inserting the engaging tongue 25 into the slit 26 with the two back wall pieces 12a and 12b straightened means that the width dimension D3 of the engaging tongue 25 is Since it is considerably larger than the width dimension D1 of the slit 26, the waterproof sheet 10a has a predetermined shape retaining strength. Therefore, the engaging tongue 25 cannot be bent and inserted into the slit 26.

  Therefore, the maximum dimension R from one small hole 43 to the end face of the engaging fin 42 on the opposite side is made substantially the same as the dimension D1, and the dimension from the engaging fin 42 to the end face of the engaging tongue 25 on the tip side. Is set shorter than the maximum dimension R. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6B, the engaging tongue 25 can be inserted into the slit 26 by inserting the engaging tongue 25 at an angle with respect to the slit 26. ing. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, under the state where the engaging tongue 25 is inserted into the slit 26, the engaging tongue 25 is simply shifted in the width direction. 25 cannot be removed from the slit 26, so that the engaging tongue 25 is prevented from being inadvertently detached from the slit 26 when the medicine is transported and used, and the medicine container is submerged in the washing water in the washing tank. Inadvertently opening the box 10 is prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the illustrated box 10, the front wall 11 and the back wall 12 are square, but may be rectangular, may be a polygon such as a hexagon or an octagon, or may be a circle. In addition, a hook is attached to the box body 10, but a handle may be provided on one of the side walls. Furthermore, you may make it provide the through-holes 27 and 28 in a side wall.
