DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The tablet container 1 of the present invention includes a container body A, a cap body B, a lid body C, and a baffle plate D.
[0009]
The container body A is formed of a synthetic resin or the like, and is configured such that the mouth and neck portion 3 stands up from the trunk portion 2.
[0010]
The cap body B is configured by extending a weighing pan 5 covering a part of the upper end opening of the neck portion 3 from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 4 fitted to the outer periphery of the neck portion. Various forms of the weighing pan 5 can be adopted, but the upper end opening portion of the mouth and neck other than the covering portion of the weighing pan needs to have at least a size that allows the tablet stored in the container to pass through. Magnitude.
[0011]
In this embodiment, a flange-like top plate 6 extends inwardly from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 4, and forms a circular arc band shape in plan view from the front half of the inner peripheral edge of the top plate 6 and has a V-shaped longitudinal section. The weighing pan 5 is formed so as to project the tablets in a circular arc shape. In addition, a fitting cylinder 7 for fitting the lid body C is provided upright from the inner peripheral edge of the top plate. Further, a support plate 8 is suspended from the rear edge of the inner periphery of the top plate 6 into the lower neck portion 3, and the baffle plate D is attached to the inner side surfaces of the pair of projections 9 projecting on both lower sides of the front surface of the support plate 8. Each of the shafts 10 protrudes.
[0012]
The lid C closes the upper surface of the cap body B so as to be openable and closable. In the illustrated example, the lid C has a top end from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 11 in which the rear lower end is rotatably connected to the rear upper end of the cap main body peripheral wall 4 via a thin hinge. The wall 12 is extended. The connection between the lid C and the cap body B is not limited to via the thin hinge illustrated example, it is of course also possible to link by known elastic reversing coupling mechanism capable of performing an elastic inversion.
[0013]
Further, a locking bar 13 for locking the baffle plate D is suspended from the back surface of the top wall 12 with a predetermined length. As shown in FIG. 1, the predetermined length is a length in which the lower surface comes into contact with the upper surface when the baffle plate D is in the downwardly locked state. Accordingly, the length varies depending on the position where the locking bar 13 is suspended.
[0014]
The baffle plate D is connected to the rear part in the mouth-and-neck part so that the rear part is pivotable, and the gap allowing the passage of the tablet is allowed between the weighing dish 5 and the weighing dish 5 from the state in which the tablet can not pass. It is provided so as to be able to swing by its own weight so as to be able to pass through the tablet that can be opened and locked, and is configured so that the tablet passing state is maintained by the locking bar 13 when the lid is closed. In the state where the tablets cannot pass, there is no need to crawl and close the upper end opening (cap body upper end opening) of the container body mouth, and there may be a gap where the tablets to be stored cannot pass.
[0015]
In the illustrated example, a pair of shaft attachment portions 15 having a small baffle plate body 14 that is substantially similar to the upper end opening of the cap body B, protrudes from the center of the rear portion of the body, and has a shaft hole formed in the outer surface. Is pivotally attached to the shaft 10. In addition, an engaging projection 16 is provided so as to protrude obliquely rearward from the lower surface of the shaft attachment portion 15 and abut against the lower surface of the support plate 8 to restrict further downward rotation of the baffle plate D. Further, from the front left and right of the baffle plate main body 14, engaging projections 17 are provided so as to be in contact with and locked to the lower surface of the weighing pan 5 and restrict further upward rotation.
[0016]
Hereinafter, the case where the tablet container comprised as mentioned above is used is demonstrated.
When the container is turned upside down with the lid C closed, the tablet a in the container is drawn onto the weighing dish 5 from the gap between the baffle plate D and the weighing dish 5. Next, when the lid C is opened and the container is inverted again, the weighed tablet a can be taken out. At this time, the baffle plate D is rotated by its own weight to the weighing pan 5 side so that it cannot pass through the tablets, thereby preventing the tablets in the container from coming out. Next, when the container is erected again, the baffle plate D is rotated downward by its own weight, and when the lid C is closed, the baffle plate D is brought into contact with the upper surface of the baffle plate D that has been moved downward by the locking rod 13 so that the tablet can pass. Lock to.
Note that all of the above members can be formed of synthetic resin or the like.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the container of the present invention has a cap body in which the weighing pan 5 covering the upper end opening front portion of the neck portion is extended inward from the upper end edge of the peripheral wall 4 fitted to the outer periphery of the container neck portion 3. B and a lid C that closes the upper surface of the main body so that the upper surface of the main body can be opened and closed. The baffle plate D is provided so that it can swing by its own weight so that it can pass through the tablet to be locked, and the baffle plate D that maintains the tablet passable state when the lid is closed by the locking bar 13 suspended from the back of the cap top wall. In addition, a predetermined amount of tablets can be measured by a simple operation of standing upright after inverting the container body, and if the container is tilted after opening, the measured amount of tablets can be taken out, The baffle plate rotates by its own weight and the tablet outlet is blocked. Prevented from jumping out of the extra tablet container body Te, then by closing the lid by erecting the container, to return to quantifiable original state, very used without permission is good.
[0018]
In addition, since the tablets are weighed out and taken out, there is no possibility of causing inconveniences such as taking them out of the palm or the like and returning them back into the container.
In addition, when the container body mouth / neck portion 3 has a circular arc shape in plan view that covers the front edge of the upper end opening front portion and is provided with a weighing pan 5 on which a tablet is placed in an arc shape, for example, the weighing is performed when the container is inverted. Even when an excess tablet may overlap with the formed tablet, it has the advantage that it can be surely returned to the container when standing upright and more accurately weighed.
[0019]
In addition, the rear part is pivotally mounted inside the lower part of the support plate 8 of the cap body B that is suspended in the mouth-and-neck part 3 so as to be able to swing up and down. In the case where the baffle plate D configured so as to be able to abut and lock is provided, the baffle plate can be locked without rotating more than necessary when the tablet can pass. As a result, it is easy to rotate by its own weight toward the weighing pan, and has the advantage that the take-out port can be reliably closed when the lid is opened and the container is brought down.
