FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of the tablet container according to the present invention when the lid is opened. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the structure of the tablet container according to the present invention when the lid is opened. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a method for filling tablets into a tablet container according to the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Modes for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The tablet container according to the present invention comprises a container part 1, an inner lid 2 attached to the container part 1, and an outer lid 3 hingedly connected to the inner lid 2. Usually, the container portion 1, the inner lid 2, and the outer lid 3 are molded from resin. The container 1 is a container for accommodating the tablet 20, and its size is arbitrary, but when it is portable, it is a small size with a reduced height as shown in the figure. The tablet container according to the present invention may be used repeatedly or disposable, and when used repeatedly, the inner lid 2 is made detachable from the container 1 (see FIG. 4). The inner lid 2 has a double inner and outer frame structure, and when it is to be used repeatedly, the outer frame 5 is, for example, provided with a female thread for screwing into the container portion 1, or formed into a snap-fit shape.

A measuring receiving portion 7 having a semicircular shape in plan view is formed in the inner frame 6 of the inner lid 2. The measuring receiving portion 7 includes an inner circumferential surface of the inner frame 6, a retaining wall 8 that is a straight wall extending in the diametrical direction, and a bottom surface 9 extending from the lower end of the retaining wall 8 to the inner circumferential surface of the inner frame 6. The peripheral edge side of the bottom surface 9 is formed into a half-moon-shaped sloped surface 9a that slopes upward toward the inner peripheral surface of the inner frame 6, and the lower end of the retaining wall 8 is curved to form a curved surface that continues to the bottom surface 9. Ru. The curved surface at the lower end of the retaining wall 8 serves to help the tablet 20 slide and make it easier to take out the tablet 20.

The outer lid 3 has an annular groove 10 into which the diameter-reduced portion 5a at the upper end of the outer frame 5 of the inner lid 2 is fitted when the lid is closed. , a concave portion 11 having a semicircular shape in plan view is formed facing into the measuring receiving portion 7. A straight wall 12 extending in the diametrical direction of the recessed portion 11 is formed into an inclined surface, and a guide block 14 extending into the measuring receiving portion 7 is provided on the bottom surface 13 of the recessed portion 11 (see FIG. 3). The guide block 14 has a slope 14a following the slope of the straight wall 12, and is appropriately thinned out. A series of slopes from the slope of the straight wall 12 to the slope 14a of the guide block 14 serves as a guide surface 15 that guides the tablet 20 into the weighing receiver 7, and between the guide surface 15 and the upper end of the holding wall 8. becomes the passage portion of the tablet 20 (see FIG. 1). A finger rest 16 is appropriately formed at the end of the outer lid 3. Furthermore, a rib 17 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the annular groove 10 to be engaged with the protruding edge 5b at the upper end of the outer frame 5 of the inner lid 2.

When taking out the tablet 20 from the tablet container configured as described above, first, turn the container upside down and shake the container once or twice as necessary. By this operation, a predetermined number of tablets 20 in the container 1 pass through the passage between the guide surface 15 and the upper end of the retaining wall 8 and are placed in the measuring receiver 7 . In this case, the tablet hits the guide surface 15 and is brought onto the flat bottom surface 9 of the metering receptacle 7 (see FIGS. 1 and 3).

The passage portions are set at intervals such that the tablets 20 do not pass through excessively, and the measurement receiving portion 7 is set to a size that allows only a predetermined number of tablets 20 to fit therein. Therefore, even if a predetermined number or more of tablets 20 try to pass through the passage part, by standing the container upright, the tablets 20 will fall into the container part 1 without being accommodated in the measuring receiving part 7.

After weighing the tablets 20 in this way and placing a predetermined number of tablets 20 in the weighing receiver 7, when the outer cover 3 is opened using the finger hook 16, the weighing receiver 7 with the predetermined number of tablets 20 placed thereon will be opened. 7 appears. When the outer lid 3 is opened, the sloped surface 9a is exposed, but because of the slope, the tablet 20 slides down onto the bottom surface 9 without stopping on the sloped surface 9a. Further, even if the outer cover 3 is opened once after measurement and then closed again, the tablet 20 will not stay on the inclined surface 9a, so there is no risk of it getting caught in the outer cover 3. At least the top surface of the weighing receiver 7 of the outer lid 3 may be made of a transparent or translucent material. You can confirm that

The tablet 20 received by the measuring receiver 7 in this manner is placed on the flat bottom surface 9, but when picking it up, it is best to insert the tip of your finger into the wide area from the inclined surface 9a to the bottom surface 9. This makes it easy to pick them up. Further, since the portion extending from the lower end of the retaining wall 8 to the bottom surface 9 is curved, the tablet 20 can easily slip, making it easier to take out the tablet 20.

If the tablet container according to the present invention can be used repeatedly, remove the inner lid 2 from the container 1, replenish the appropriate amount of tablets 20 into the container 1 (Fig. 4), and then screw the inner lid 2 on to carry it, etc. Serve.

The tablet container according to the present invention is as described above, and has the advantage that the tablet receiving part is wide, making it easy to pick up the tablet, preventing the tablet from falling when opening the cap or picking it up, and making it suitable for carrying. Therefore, its industrial applicability is great.
