Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to tablets and other tablet-like solid dispensing containers.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A container body having a dispensing hole in the top plate and a lid body that closes the dispensing hole and is fitted to the upper surface of the container body, and is provided so that the tablet body is removed from the container body by removing the lid body Drawer containers are known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A conventional shake-out container shakes out a tablet-like fixed object by its shake-out, but its quantity is not constant and has many variations.
[0004]
The present invention is provided so that a predetermined quantity of the solid matter can be taken out almost accurately.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a first means, a swing hole 6 drilled in the top plate 5 that closes the upper surface of the container body is closed by a lid of the lid body 10 hinged to the rear part of the top plate so as to be freely opened and closed by the undulation of the lid centering on the hinge. In the solid matter dispensing container
The rear wall portion 11a of the stopper is suspended downward longer than the front wall portion, and the leg plates 12, 12 are suspended from the left and right wall portions of the stopper,
When the lid 10 is opened to the container body so that the solid material 21 can be drawn out and tilted upward and forward, the stopper 13 attached to the lower end of the leg plate is engaged with the lower edge of the dispensing hole 6. At the same time, the lower end of the plug rear wall 11a was formed so as to be close to the rear edge of the outlet hole 6.
[0006]
As a second means, the first means is provided and the stopper is formed in a cylindrical shape with an opening on the lower surface, and the inside of the cylindrical stopper 11 is used as a temporary fixing chamber 15 at the time of solid matter dispensing.
[0007]
As a third means, the inclined surface 8 for guiding the solid material 21 was formed from the inner surface of the upper part of the container body to the lower edge of the outlet hole 6 while having the first or second means.
[0008]
As a fourth means, the cap main body and the lid 10 are provided as the cap main body 3 having the first, second or third means and the upper part of the container body hanging from the outer periphery of the top plate 5 to the second peripheral wall 4. Were formed integrally with a synthetic resin material, and the portion excluding the upper portion of the container body was used as the container body 1 that raised the first peripheral wall 2 from the outer periphery of the bottom plate, and the second peripheral wall 4 was fitted to the upper portion of the first peripheral wall 2.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body that erects the first peripheral wall 2 from the periphery of the bottom plate.
[0010]
Reference numeral 3 denotes a cap body that hangs from the outer periphery of the top plate 5 with a second outer wall 4 having a lower outer diameter that can be fitted to the upper inner surface of the first peripheral wall. Has been drilled.
[0011]
A plurality of triangular ribs 7 are continuously attached to the corners of the inner surface of the upper end of the cap body 3, the rib upper surface is continuously connected to the top plate lower surface, and the outer surface is continuously connected to the second peripheral wall inner surface. An inclined surface 8 is formed from the lower edge of the outlet hole 6 to the inner surface of the intermediate portion of the second peripheral wall 4. These inclined surfaces form a surface for guiding the tablet-like solid material 21 stored in the container main body to the dispensing hole 6.
[0012]
The container body 1 and the cap body 3 may be integrated, and in this case, a container body is formed therefrom.
[0013]
From the rear part of the cap main body top plate 5, a lid 10 covering the top surface of the top plate is protruded through a hinge 9. The lid body has a cylindrical plug 11 that opens and closes the swing hole 6, leg plates 12 and 12 are suspended from both left and right portions of the cylindrical plug, and stoppers 13 and 13 are provided at the lower ends of these leg plates. When the lid is opened with the hinge 9 as the center as shown in FIG. 1, the stoppers engage with the lower edge of the swing hole 6 to maintain the lid opening angle obliquely forward. It is provided so that it can be done.
[0014]
The lid opening angle is set so that the solid substance 21 can be discharged through the space between the outlet hole and the front lower end of the cylindrical stopper 11, and is smaller than 90 degrees. The lower end 11a of the rear wall portion of the cylindrical plug 11 is provided longer and lower than the lower end of the front wall portion of the cylindrical plug. When the lid is opened, the lower end 11a of the rear wall portion is provided close to the trailing edge of the outlet hole. The leg plates 12 and 12 are preferably continuous with the rear wall portion 11a.
[0015]
Further, in the above-described configuration, the cover 13 is opened until the stoppers 13 and 13 come into contact with the lower edge of the outlet hole 6 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the container body is tilted so that the rear part of the container body faces downward so that the container upper part is positioned below the lower part.
[0016]
In this state, the cylindrical plug 11 of the lid body 10 is turned upside down and the lower end opening portion is inclined upward toward the front side of the cap body top plate 5, and the rear wall of the cylindrical plug 11 The lower end of the portion 11a is close to the trailing edge portion of the outlet hole 6.
[0017]
By tilting the container body as described above, the solid material 21 stored in the container body enters the temporary fixing chamber 15 in the obliquely upward opening formed by the inner surface of the cylindrical plug as shown in the figure, and does not enter the chamber. In addition, the solid material 21 almost coming out from the outlet hole 6 is located in the space 16 having an open top surface formed by the inner surfaces of the rear wall portion 11a of the cylindrical plug and the left and right leg plates 12, 12. Become.
[0018]
Therefore, from the state shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4, if the container body is rotated halfway around the axis and the container body front side is directed downward while keeping the container body lying down, the space portion The opening side of 16 and the temporary fixing chamber 15 is displaced downward as shown in the figure, so that the solid matter located inside them can be dropped by its own weight. At this time, the solid substance located in the container body and in the vicinity of the dispensing hole 6 moves toward the container body by the inclined surface 8. Even when the inclined surface 8 is not provided, the solid body can be returned to the bottom side of the container body by returning the container body to the upright state simultaneously with the completion of the above-mentioned shaking.
[0019]
After completion of the above shaking, the container body is returned to the upright position and the lid body 10 is closed.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and if it is provided as described in claim 1, it is possible to shake out only a fixed amount of solid matter by performing shaking as described above.
[0021]
According to the second aspect, the amount of swing can be increased.
[0022]
By making it like Claim 3, it becomes easy to guide the solid substance to an outlet hole, and it is easy to shake out all the small solids which remained in the container body.
[0023]
By making it like Claim 4, formation of a container becomes easy.
