Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tablet container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a tablet container, a bottle-type container body with a cap detachably attached is generally used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
These are not inconvenient when used at home or the like, but are bulky when carried and are also inconvenient to handle because the cap is removed and the stored tablet is taken out.
The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and is easy to carry, can be opened and closed with one touch, does not need to be removed, and can be formed by synthetic resin integral molding, so that it is inexpensive. The present invention proposes an excellent tablet container that has the advantage of being manufactured.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0007]
The tablet container 1 of the present invention is integrally formed of a synthetic resin, and includes a container body 2, a cover plate 4 supported by a pair of elastic plates 3, and a bottom cover 5.
The container body 2 has a flat box shape in the front and rear formed by connecting the front plate 6 and the rear plate 7 with a narrow connecting plate 8, and is provided with a recess 9 in the center of the top.
[0008]
The recess 9 is formed by the bottom plate 10 and the left and right side plates 11 and 11, and has an opening at the front and rear surfaces and the upper surface where each side plate 11 extends upward so that the upper end edge is located outward from the lower end edge. An outlet 12 is formed in the bottom plate 10 of the recess 9. In the illustrated example, the front view has an arc shape that protrudes upward, the plan view has an arc shape that protrudes obliquely outwardly on both sides of the bottom plate 10 that has a horizontally long rectangular shape, and the plan view has a horizontally long rectangle shape. A side plate 11 having a shape is extended to form a recess 9.
[0009]
The elastic plate 3 is connected to the upper edge of the both side plates 11 forming the recesses 9 through the thin outer hinges 13 to contact the lower surface of the upper surface of the side plate 11, and the inner edge is connected to the thin inner hinge 14. Are connected to both side edges of the cover plate 4 via The shape of each elastic plate 3 can be selected variously. For example, the elastic plate 3 has a circular arc shape in which the front view is recessed downward, and the plan view has a horizontal rectangular shape, or the front view is upward. A plate shape having a protruding arc shape and having a horizontally long rectangular shape in a plan view, or a simple horizontally long rectangular plate shape, and the like can be mentioned. The shape is selected according to the shape of the side plate 11 of the recess 9 described above. The outer hinge 13 in the illustrated elastic plate is formed by forming a concave groove from the outer surface, and the inner hinge 14 is formed by forming a concave groove from the inner surface. With this configuration, the elastic plate 3 can be more easily reversed.
[0010]
The lid plate 4 connects the inner edge of each elastic plate 3 to both side edges via the inner hinges 14 so that the lower surface abuts the upper surface of the bottom plate 10 and the outer surface of the pair of locking plates 15 suspended from the rear surface. The both sides of the outlet 12 are engaged and inserted into the outlet 12. Further, a finger-hanging protrusion 16 is provided on the edge of the lid plate 4. The locking plate 15 is preferably configured such that the outer surface thereof slides closely to both side edges of the outlet 12 to further improve the internal airtightness.
[0011]
The bottom lid 5 closes and closes a fitting cylinder 18 projecting from the upper surface to an opening opened at the lower end surface of the container body 2, and a thin hinge 17 at the bottom edge of the container body 2. It is connected via a pivotable movement.
[0012]
When the tablet container 1 as described above is pushed upward from the state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, each elastic plate 3 is rotated about the outer hinge 13 while being elastically deformed, and then upward. It is reversed and stabilized at the position where it returned to the original inelastically deformed state. Accordingly, the cover plate 4 moves upward, and each locking plate 15 comes out of the outlet 12. If the container body 2 is tilted from this state, the stored tablet can be transferred between the cover plate 4 and the respective locking plates 15 and dropped downward to be taken out.
After use, by pushing the lid plate 4, each elastic plate 3 is inverted while being elastically deformed to return to the original state, and accordingly the lid plate 4 also returns to the original outlet 12 closed state.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the tablet container of the present invention has the above-described configuration, and in particular, the front and top recesses 9 are provided at the center of the top of the box-type container body 2 and the outlet 12 is formed in the bottom plate 10. The outer edges are connected to the upper edges of the both side plates 11 through thin outer hinges 13, and a pair of elastic plates 3 are provided on the upper surfaces of the side plates 11 so that the lower surfaces are in contact with each other. The lid plate 4 is connected to both side edges via the inner hinge 14 and closed by bringing the lower surface into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 10, so that the lid can be opened by a simple operation of pushing out the lid plate 4. The lid plate 4 can be closed by a simple operation of pushing back, and the handling is convenient.
[0014]
Further, since the outer surfaces of a pair of locking plates 15 suspended from the back surface of the lid plate 4 are engaged with both side edges of the outlet 12 and inserted into the outlet 12, the locking by each elastic plate is performed when the lid is closed. In addition to force, the lid plate 4 can be more reliably maintained in the closed state. The lid plate 4 cannot be easily opened by external force. When the lid is opened, the lid body 4 is simply placed on the palm and tilted. Since a predetermined amount of the tablet starts to slide into the area surrounded by the cover plate 4 and the respective locking plates 15 and moves to the palm as it is, it is convenient to take out the tablet.
[0015]
Further, a fitting cylinder 18 projecting from the upper surface of the opening opened in the lower end surface of the container body 2 is tightly fitted and closed, and one edge is rotated to the bottom edge of the container body 2 via a thin hinge 17. In the case of providing a bottom cover 5 that is movably connected and configured so that each locking plate 15 is pulled out from the outlet 12 when each elastic plate 3 is turned upside down, the synthetic resin is integrally formed. Since it is possible, it has the advantage that it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.
