To take out the tablets T, as shown in FIG. 11(a), the tablet take-out container is turned upside down so that the cap F faces downward, so that the tablets T in the container body A are pushed out of the inclined partition wall 66 of the cap body F1. It is guided into the push-out guide portion 67 through the passage port 72 of the push-out guide portion 67 via the .

The tablet T moved into the push-out guide portion 67 is prevented from coming out of the opening of the push-out guide portion 67 by being obstructed by the discharge tube 77 of the discharge operation member G. is blocked and held by the tablet locking protrusion 80 of the discharge cylinder 77, and the movement of the other tablets T is also stopped.

Next, when the operating portion 78 of the ejection operating member G is pressed from the outside toward the cap main body F1 side, the deformation arm portion 76 is deformed as shown in FIG. is pushed into the cap body F1.

When the discharge cylinder 77 is pushed inward, one tablet Ta held by being blocked by the tablet locking protrusion 80 of the discharge cylinder 77 comes into contact with the bottom wall 71 of the push-out guide part 67, and the tablet Ta is discharged. It is pushed toward the tube 77 side.
The tip of the discharge cylinder 77 is slightly widened by the deformed notch 81 , and the tablet Ta climbs over the tablet locking protrusion 80 , is pushed into the discharge cylinder 77 , and is discharged outside through the discharge cylinder 77 .
Further, the ejecting cylinder 77 itself that has moved pushes back the tablets T other than the tablets Ta remaining in the push-out guide portion 67 through the passage port 72 toward the container main body A side.

Finally, the distal end of the discharge cylinder 77 comes into contact with the bottom wall 71 of the push-out guide portion 67, and the movement of the discharge cylinder 77 and the operating portion 78 is stopped.
At this time, the ejecting tube 77 itself that has moved prevents the tablet T in the container body A from entering the push-out guide portion 67 through the passage port 72 .

Further, when the pressure applied to the operation portion 78 of the discharge operation member G is released, the restoring force of the deformed arm portion 76 returns to its original state as shown in FIG. , the tablet T in the container main body A is guided into the push-out guide portion 67 through the passage port 72 .

The tablet dispensing container of the present embodiment is set inside the discharge tube 77 by pushing the operation part 78 of the discharge operation member G after the container is turned upside down so that the cap F faces downward. Only one tablet Ta can be ejected, and any number of tablets T can be ejected one by one by repeating pressing and releasing the operation unit 78 any number of times.

According to the tablet dispensing container of the present invention, only one tablet can be discharged by inverting the container with the cap facing downward and then pressing with a discharge operation member. An arbitrary number of tablets can be ejected one by one by repeating pressing and releasing, and it can be widely used not only as a container for drugs but also as a container for spherical foodstuffs such as candy. .
