Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は定量取出容器に関し、詳しくは、粒状の収納物を収納し、所定量の収納物を簡単な操作で取り出すことができる定量取出容器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
錠剤等の粒状物を収納する容器として、従来は胴部より口頸部を起立した容器体と、口頸部に螺着させた周壁上端縁より頂壁を延設してなるキャップとからなる極一般的な形態ものが使用れており、キャップを外し必要量を手の平等に取り出す如く使用している。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の容器では、必要量を取り出すのが難しく、取り出した量が少なかったり、多かったりその調整が難しい。何度か出し入れを繰り返したり、慎重に取り出すため時間がかかったりする。また、錠剤等は湿気を嫌う場合が多く、手の平に一旦取り出されたものを再び容器内に戻すことはできるだけ避けたい。
【０００４】
本発明は上記した点に鑑みなされたもので、簡単な操作により必要量を取り出すことができ、しかも、計量部分を観察することができて計量ミスもなく、構造も簡単で安価に製造できる定量取出容器を提案するものである。
【０００５】

【０００６】
第２の手段として、口頸部５を起立した容器体２と、容器体に嵌着した計量栓３とを備え、計量栓３は、口頸部５に下部を嵌合した周壁６上端縁より頂壁７を延設するとともに、口頸部上方位置に於いて前後を貫通する貫通路24を設け、且つ、貫通路底壁 24a に容器体内と連通する取入口25を穿設してなる本体3aと、貫通路24内にスライド可能に嵌合させたスライド部材 3c とを備え、スライド部材 3c は、その底壁31前部上面に計量凹部32を、計量凹部32後方の底壁31に取入口25と連通した取入窓33を、計量凹部32上方に取出窓34を、それぞれ有する計量室Ａを画成し、貫通路部分の頂壁７の後部に切欠部26を設けてスライド部材3cを所定幅の押し込みが可能に構成するとともに、少なくとも貫通路部分の頂壁７を透明に形成した。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施例の形態を図面を参照して説明する。
【０００８】
図面に示す如く本発明の定量取出容器１は、容器体２と、計量栓３とを備えている。
【０００９】
容器体２は合成樹脂，硝子等により形成されたもので、筒状の胴部４上端縁より口頸部５を起立して構成している。
【００１０】
計量栓３は、本体3aと、蓋体3bとから構成している。本体3aは合成樹脂により形成されたもので、口頸部５外周に周壁６の下部を嵌合させて容器体２に装着しており、周壁６上端縁より頂壁７を延設している。また、周壁６の前部中央部分から頂壁７を前後に横断する凹部８を形成している。該凹部８は、周壁６前部及び頂壁７の先端より後部所定位置までは蓋体3bの肉厚程度の凹み幅を有し、後部所定位置から後端までは周壁前部に於ける凹部の丈と同じ丈の深い凹み幅に形成している。また、凹部の両側縁に沿って、凹部の深い凹み幅と同じ深さで且つ蓋体の後述する側板が嵌合可能な細凹溝９を形成している。更に、深い凹み幅部分を形成する垂壁部分に、蓋体3bの後述する底板を挿入するための窓孔10を開口している。
【００１１】
また、頂壁７前部中央下部に計量室Ａを画成している。該計量室Ａは、頂壁７前部中央部に取出窓11を、取出窓11下方の底壁12前部上面に計量凹部13を、底壁12後部に容器体２内と連通する取入窓14をそれぞれ有しており、図示例では、両細凹溝９間の前後を区画する区画壁15前方に計量室Ａを画成している。
【００１２】
蓋体3bは透明（半透明，有色透明を含む）な合成樹脂により形成されたもので、取出窓11を閉塞して頂壁７中央部上を前後に横断する帯状の蓋板16を設けるとともに、蓋板後縁より垂設した後板17c 下端縁より前方へ底板18を延設し、また蓋板所定位置に取出口19を穿設している。また、前方所定幅のスライドを可能に構成するとともに、蓋体を前方へ移行させて取出窓11に取出口19を重複させた際に底板18が取入窓14を閉塞する如く構成している。
【００１３】
図示例に於ける蓋体3bは、凹部８の平面形状と同様の平面形状をなす蓋板16の周縁部より下方へ周壁17を垂設した伏皿状をなし、周壁17は、本体3aの前部周壁部分の凹部に嵌合する前板17a と、蓋板16両側縁よりそれぞれ垂設してそれぞれ細凹溝９嵌合した一対の側板17b と、蓋板16後端縁より垂設した後板17c と、から構成している。また、底板18は、後板17c 下端縁にヒンジ20を介して前方へ延設した帯状をなしており、上記窓孔10を介して先端上面を区画壁15の下面に当接させている。また、両側板17b 外面後部に設けた突条21を、本体3aの後部の凹部側壁部分に設けた凹条22に嵌合させて前後動可能で且つ上方への抜け出しを防止している。
【００１４】
上記の如く構成した容器１は、例えば、容器を前方へ傾けつつ倒立させて、図４(a) に示す如く、計量室Ａ内へ収納物としての錠剤23を導入し、次いで、図４(b) に示す如く、再び正立させると計量凹部13上に所定の錠剤23が残り、あとの錠剤は容器体内に戻される。この際、蓋体3bは透明であるため錠剤23が計量凹部に所定数だけ確保されているか一目で分かる。次いで、蓋体3bを前方へスライドさせて図４(c) に示す如く、取出窓11と取出口19を重複させ、容器を前方へ傾けて計量した錠剤を取り出すことかできる。尚、蓋体を前方へスライドさせた際に底板18が取入窓14を閉塞するため、容器体内の錠剤が計量室Ａ内に入ることはない。
【００１５】
図５乃至図８は本発明の他の実施例を示し、本実施例に於ける容器１も、容器体２と計量栓３とから構成している。本実施例に於ける容器体２も図１の実施例と同様のものが使用できる。
【００１６】
本実施例に於ける計量栓３は、本体3aと、スライド部材3cとから構成している。本体3aは合成樹脂により形成されたもので、口頸部５に下部を嵌合した周壁６上端縁より頂壁７を延設するとともに、口頸部５上方に於いて前後を貫通する貫通路24を設け、貫通路底壁24a に容器体内と連通する取入口25を穿設している。また、貫通路部分の頂壁７の後部には切欠部26を設けてスライド部材3cを所定幅の押し込みが可能に構成している。更に、少なくとも貫通路部分の頂壁７を透明（半透明，有色透明を含む）に形成して、計量した収納物を見ることができる如く構成している。図示例では、別体としての透明板を固着させている。
【００１７】
また、スライド部材3cは、貫通路24内にスライド可能に嵌合させるとともに、底壁31前部上面に計量凹部32を、計量凹部後方の底壁に取入口25と連通した取入窓33を、計量凹部32上方に取出窓34を、それぞれ有する計量室Ａを画成している。図示例では、貫通路24の平面視形状と同じ平面視形状をなす周壁27を有し、周壁27内前部に上端を開口した計量室Ａを区画壁28を介して画成し、周壁27後部には頂板29を備え、また、仕切板30を備えている。
【００１８】
本実施例の容器１は、図１の実施例と同様に、倒立させて錠剤23を計量凹部32に載置した後正立させ、スライド部材3cを押し込むことにより図８に示す如く、スライド部材3cの取出窓34が開口し、次いで容器を再び倒立させて錠剤を取り出すことができる。この際、取入口25は、スライド部材3cの後部により閉塞されて錠剤が計量室Ａ内に入ることはない。
【００１９】
【発明の効果】
以上説明した如く本発明の定量取出容器は、既述構成としたことにより、計量した収納物を見ることができるため、計量不足等の不都合がなく、確実に定量の収納物を取り出すことができるものであり、しかも簡単な操作により必要量を取り出すことができるものである。また、構造も簡単で安価に製造できる利点を兼ね備えている。
【００２０】
また、蓋体3bは底板18を備えているため、計量した内容物を取り出す際に計量室内に余分な内容物が入り込んでしまう等の不都合がなく、この点からも確実に定量した収納物を取り出すことができるものである。
