Description

  The present invention relates to a tablet fixed quantity extraction container for taking out a fixed quantity of tablets.

  Confectionery and supplements are often processed into tablets for easy handling and quantity control, and many tablets are generally housed in tablet containers, and it is necessary to take out a predetermined amount from the tablet container at the time of use. . Here, in a general tablet container provided with a lid that simply closes the opening of the container body containing the tablet, the lid is removed from the opening, and the container body is tilted, and the tablet is discharged onto the palm of the hand, In this case, excess tablets may be discharged from the container body in excess of the desired number. The tablets discharged more than necessary are returned into the container body. However, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of hygiene management and quality maintenance that the tablets once touched are returned to the container body again.

  For this reason, as a prior art for taking out a fixed amount of tablets, for example, in Patent Document 1, a tablet (gum) is stored in an internal bottle having a support surface having a curved shape, and the tablet is placed on a support plug of a lifting shaft. Then, the tablet is taken out from the extraction hole by moving the inner bottle up and down. Further, in Patent Document 2, a tablet (chewing gum) is placed on a funnel having an inclination, the elevator body is raised to drop the tablet onto the central cylinder at the center of the funnel, and then the elevator cylinder is lowered to lower the central cylinder. The tablet that has fallen into the container is taken out from the outlet.

In both Patent Documents 1 and 2, in order to take out the tablet to the end, both the support surface and the funnel have a mortar shape. Therefore, the shape of the internal bottle in Patent Document 1 is sandwiched between the support surface and the bottom of the internal bottle. In the shape of the funnel having the inclination described in Patent Document 2, the space between the bottom surface of the funnel and the bottom of the container is a dead space. On the other hand, the seller has requested to reduce the dead space as much as possible in order to secure as much as possible the stitch capacity.
Moreover, although these patent documents are configured to take out tablets one by one, there is a demand for a configuration in which the quantity to be taken out can be changed as appropriate even if the specifications such as the size and shape of the tablets are changed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a tablet fixed quantity extraction container that can reduce a dead space inside a container as much as possible to secure a large capacity and can easily take out a determined quantity.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tablet fixed quantity extraction container capable of changing the quantity to be extracted even if there is a change in specifications such as the size and shape of the tablet.

In order to solve the above problems, the main configuration of the tablet fixed quantity extraction container of the present invention is:
A container body having a double cylindrical shape of an outer cylindrical portion and an inner cylindrical portion, and having a top wall extending like an inner collar on a core wall standing upright from a bottom wall continuously provided from the inner cylindrical portion; ,
An inner tool incorporated inside the inner tube portion;
A saucer portion locked to the top wall;
A cap for covering the upper part of the container body, and a tablet dispensing container having a cap,
The intermediate device is incorporated in the inner cylinder portion of the container body so that the engaging portion which is the inner edge portion of the bottom portion can move on the outer periphery of the core wall, and when the engaging portion engages with the tray portion, The bottom is elastically deformed.

  In the above main configuration, the bottom portion is flattened at the time of accommodation and the dead space is eliminated, and the bottom portion is elastically deformed and tilted by further lifting in a state where the locking portion is engaged with the receiving tray portion when lifting the inner tool. It can be in a mortar-like state, can be guided to the receiving tray, and can receive a fixed amount in the receiving tray.

  In another configuration of the present invention, the bottom portion of the middle tool is formed with at least one connecting piece holding a gap, and the connecting piece connects the peripheral wall of the middle tool and the locking portion.

  Since the connecting piece holds the gap, the bottom portion is easily elastically deformed, and the tablet can be smoothly guided to the tray portion.

  Moreover, the other structure of this invention forms the flange part which a saucer part engages a latching | locking part with an outer edge part.

  When the locking portion and the flange portion are engaged, the surface can be made flush with almost no unevenness, and the tablet can be smoothly guided to the tray portion.

  Moreover, the other structure of this invention is a structure by which a saucer part is detachable to a top wall.

  Even if there is a change in the specifications such as the size and shape of the tablet, it is possible to change the quantity to be taken out by replacing it with another tray part having a different dish part shape.

  In another configuration of the present invention, a stopper piece is disposed at the upper end portion of the inner surface of the inner cylinder portion, and a convex portion is projected from the outer peripheral surface of the inner member.

  Even if the middle tool is pulled up strongly, the convex portion comes into contact with the stopper piece and restricts the lifting, so that the middle tool can be prevented from coming off upward.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the main configuration of the present invention, since the bottom portion of the inner tool has a variable shape, the bottom portion can be flattened at the time of storage to eliminate the dead space, and the bottom portion is mortar-shaped when taking out even when the number of tablets is reduced. It is possible to easily guide and store the fixed quantity tablet in the pan by displacing it.
Further, in the present invention, even if there is a change in the specifications such as the size and shape of the tablet, it is possible to change the take-out quantity by replacing the tray shape.

It is a fragmentary longitudinal cross-sectional view of the tablet fixed quantity extraction container of embodiment of this invention. It is a top view of a middle tool. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the process which raises an intermediate | middle tool and stores a tablet in a saucer part. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view when a tablet accumulates in a saucer part. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view when a middle part is raised and the bottom part is displaced.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the tablet fixed quantity extraction container 1 of this invention takes out the container main body 2, the middle tool 3 incorporated in the inside of the container main body 2, and accommodates the tablet T, and takes out tablet T for fixed quantity. A tray 4 that is stored for easy storage, a cap 5 that is screw-fitted with a mouth tube portion 21 a so as to cover an upper portion of the container body 2, and a packing 6 that increases airtightness when the cap 5 is assembled to the container body 2. It is the composition provided with.

  The container body 2 is formed in a double cylindrical shape of an outer cylinder portion 21 and an inner cylinder portion 22, and an upper tube portion 21 a stands up through a step portion on the inner side of the upper portion of the outer cylinder portion 21. A male screw portion 21b is formed, an upper end portion 21c is formed at the upper end of the mouth tube portion 21a, a bottom wall 23 is continuously provided from the lower end portion of the inner tube portion 22, and a core is formed from the inner end portion of the bottom wall 23. The wall 24 is erected continuously, and the upper end portion of the core wall 24 is erected on the inner side through a stepped portion 24a. A locking wall 26 is suspended from the lower surface of the inner peripheral edge of the top wall 25 extending inwardly from the upper end of the core wall 24, and the tip of the locking wall 26 is reduced in diameter. . A plurality of stopper pieces 27 are provided at the upper end portion of the inner surface of the inner cylinder portion 22 to prevent the middle tool 3 described later from coming off upward. The stopper piece 27 is movable in the vertical direction via the hinge portion and rises upward in the state where the middle tool 3 is not present. However, when the middle tool 3 is incorporated in the inner cylinder portion 22, the stopper piece 27 faces downward. When the tool 3 is assembled, the stopper piece 27 faces downward and fits into the recess 27a, so that the upper end of the inner surface of the inner cylindrical portion 22 can be flush.

  The middle tool 3 is incorporated into the inner cylindrical portion 22, and a peripheral wall upper end 31 a is formed on the upper end of the cylindrical peripheral wall 31 in the shape of an outer casing so that the fingertip can be easily hooked when the middle tool 3 is pulled up. A convex portion 32 is provided on the lower part of the outer surface of the peripheral wall 31 so as to protrude from the entire periphery, and abuts against the stopper piece 27 to restrict the lifting of the middle tool 3. About the convex part 32, it is good also as a structure which provides in multiple places at intervals in the circumferential direction. The bottom 33 of the intermediate tool 3 has at least one connecting piece 33 having a gap 34. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the three spiral connecting pieces 33 a hold the gap 34 and the peripheral wall 31. The structure which connects the latching | locking part 35 of an inner edge part is mentioned. Due to such a configuration, the bottom 33 can be elastically deformed in the vertical direction, and can be displaced in a mortar shape as shown in FIG. The distal end portion of the locking portion 35 is formed in a flange shape through a step,

  The receiving tray portion 4 has an engaging piece 42a and a stepped portion 24a on a locking wall 26 whose tip is reduced inward so as to cover the top wall 25 standing by the core wall 24 at the center of the container body 2. The fitting piece 42b is locked by fitting. Since the fitting piece 42b is fitted so as to enter the stepped portion 24a, it is flush with the upper portion of the core wall 24. The dish part 41 on the upper surface of the saucer part 4 has a shape in which the center is slightly depressed so that the tablet T can be stably held. At the outer edge portion of the saucer portion 4, a flange portion 43 is formed to project in an annular shape in the outer circumferential direction so as to be fitted with the locking portion 35, and when the locking portion 35 and the flange portion 43 are fitted As shown in FIG. 5, there is almost no unevenness at that portion, and the tablet T can be smoothly guided to the tray 4.

The cap 5 is a top cylindrical overcap body that is screw-fitted to the male screw portion 21 b of the mouth tube portion 21 a, and holds a disk-shaped top wall portion 51 and a packing 6 to be described later from the bottom surface of the top wall portion 51. And a cylindrical peripheral wall portion 53 suspended from the edge of the top wall portion 51. On the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 53, a female screw portion 54 that is screwed into the male screw portion 21b of the container body 2 is formed.
A disc-shaped packing 6 is fitted on the lower surface of the support piece 52 of the cap 5. When this packing 6 is sandwiched between the support piece 52 of the cap 5 and the upper end portion 21c of the container body 2, the sealing performance is exhibited, and the tablet fixed quantity extraction container 1 is sealed.

Next, the operation of the tablet fixed quantity extraction container 1 configured as described above will be described.
When the tablet fixed quantity extraction container 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is stored, the bottom portion 33 of the middle tool 3 has a flat configuration, so that no dead space is generated in the storage portion of the tablet T. In order to take out the tablet T in a certain amount from such a state, first, the cap 5 covering the upper part of the container body 2 is removed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, when pulling up the inner tool 3 in order to place a fixed amount of the tablet T on the tray 4, the vicinity of the peripheral wall upper end 31 a that is easily hooked with a fingernail is picked up and pulled up. . By lifting the middle tool 3, the tablet T having a relatively high height moves in the direction of the tray part 4, so that a fixed amount of tablets T can be placed on the tray part 4.

  After placing a fixed amount of the tablet T on the receiving plate part 4, the inner tool 3 is pulled down as shown in FIG. And it can take out with the tablet T for the fixed quantity mounted on the saucer part 4. FIG.

  When the taking-out operation of the tablet T is repeated several times and the tablet T is reduced, it is necessary to increase the lifting amount of the inner tool 3 as shown in FIG. The locking portion 35 is movable on the outer periphery of the core wall 24, and the bottom portion 33 is connected with the gap 34 when the hook 3 is pulled up with the locking portion 35 engaged with the flange portion 43. The piece 33a begins to be elastically deformed, and the connecting piece 33a on the peripheral wall 31 side gradually rises, and the bottom 33 is in a mortar-like state inclined in the direction of the tray 4. Since the bottom 33 is elastically deformed and tilted in the central direction in the shape of a mortar, the tablet T is guided to the tray 4, so that even if the remaining amount of the tablet T is reduced, the tablet T is securely placed on the tray 4. Can be collected. Even if the middle tool 3 is pulled up strongly, the convex portion 32 below the outer surface of the peripheral wall 31 abuts against the stopper piece 27 and restricts the lifting, so that the middle tool 3 is prevented from coming off upward.

  Moreover, since the saucer part 4 is detachable by engaging with the top wall 25 by the fitting pieces 42a and 42b, the saucer part 41 can be replaced with another saucer part 4 having a shape suitable for the tablet T. By changing the shape of the saucer part 4 (dish part 41), it is possible to store suitable for the tablet T, and it is also possible to adjust the lifting amount of the inner tool 3.

As described above, the configuration and the operation effect of the present invention have been described along the examples. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the bottom 33 is formed by the three connecting pieces 33a. However, the bottom 33 is particularly limited as long as the bottom 33 is inclined in the direction of the tray 4 and elastically deforms in the vertical direction when pulled up. Rather, any form is acceptable.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the saucer part 4 is latched to the top wall 25 by insertion piece 42a, 42b, if the saucer part 4 is detachable and can be latched reliably, a locking method will be especially limited. Is not to be done. Moreover, the tray part 4 may be integral with the container main body 2 instead of a separate body.
In addition, a locking portion is provided on the outer surface of the stepped portion 24a, and a locking portion is provided on the inner surface of the opposite fitting piece 42b to be firmly locked by undercut locking. It does not matter even if it is the composition which suppresses going up.
Furthermore, a configuration may be adopted in which a locking projection is provided on the outer surface of the fitting piece 42a, and the tip of the locking wall 26 is locked to the locking projection.
Still further, by incorporating the middle tool 3 in which the convex portion 32 protrudes intermittently into the container main body 2 provided with the guide means on the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 22, the vertical movement of the middle tool 3 can be achieved. A smooth structure may be used.

  As described above, according to the present invention, there is no dead space in the tablet storage section, and even if the remaining amount of the tablet is reduced, it is possible to reliably collect the tablets in the receiving tray. Application development in the container field for taking out a fixed amount can be achieved in a wider area.
