【０００７】
そして、本発明の第３の発明は、前記底容器を浅くし、前記蓋容器を深くしたことを特徴とする第１の発明又は第２の発明に記載のタブレット容器である。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のタブレット容器は、底容器の上方に、広口の取出し口を小蓋で開閉する蓋容器を嵌着するものである。そして、蓋容器と底容器は、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンなどの適度の剛性と弾性をもつナチュラル又は着色する熱可塑性樹脂を用いて、射出成形法で作製するものである。
【０００９】
次に、本発明のタブレット容器の実施の形態について、図を用いて詳細に説明する。
図１は、実施形態１のタブレット容器の断面図であり、図２は、その小蓋を開いた状態の蓋容器の平面図であり、図３は、実施形態２のタブレット容器の断面図であり、図４は、その小蓋を開いた状態の蓋容器の平面図である。図５は、小蓋を開いたときの蓋容器の正面図である。図６は、実施形態１の蓋容器の小蓋の正面中央部分の正面図であり、図７は、実施形態２の蓋容器の小蓋の正面中央部分の正面図である。
【００１０】
本発明の実施形態１のタブレット容器（１０）は、図１に示すように、浅い底容器（２００）の上方に、深い蓋容器（１００）を嵌着する手に持ち易い曲面状の容器であり、水平断面形状が、図２に示すように、左右方向が広い楕円形状の前方中央部を後方へ曲線で凹状に形成するものである。蓋容器（１００）の構造は、図１に示すように、天板（１１０）と周壁（１２０）からなり、図１及び図２に示すように、天板（１１０）に広口の取出し口（１１１）を形成し、取出し口を開閉する小蓋（１３０）を、周壁（１２０）の後部上端外周にヒンジ（１０１）を介して接続し、図１、図２及び図６に示すように、小蓋（１３０）のヒンジの対向位置の前部に、上下２本の線状突起（１３５）を前面にもつ押部（１３１）を垂設し、下面に取出し口の内周面と外周面を摺接する連続するリブ（１３２）を設け、このリブの押部と対応する前部に、下端前面に嵌合突起（１３４）をもつ嵌合部（１３３）を垂設し、天板（１１０）の前記小蓋の嵌合部と対応するの前方に、図１、図２及び図５に示すように、凹状部（１１２）を形成し、この凹状部の内側端に小蓋の嵌合部との嵌合突起（１１４）を設け、この嵌合突起の前方近傍に小蓋の押部と当接する支えリブ（１１３）を立設し、そして、図１に示すように、周壁（１２０）の下端縁部内周面に嵌合段差（１２１）を設け、この嵌合段差の下端内周面に底容器とのリング状の嵌合突起（１２２）を設けるものである。なお、押部の前面に上下２本の線状突起を設けたのは、指で押すときに滑りを止めて、押し易くするためである。
【００１１】
底容器（２００）の構造は、図１に示すように、周壁（２１０）と底板（２２０）とからなり、周壁の上端縁部外周面に嵌合段差（２１１）を設け、この嵌合段差の上端外周面に蓋容器の嵌合突起とのリング状の嵌合突起（２１２）を設けるものである。
【００１２】
上述の実施形態１のタブレット容器は、片方の手で手の平を上にして容器を掴んで固定し、他方の手の中指を後方に人指し指を小蓋の上面に当て親指で小蓋の押部を後方へ押すと、蓋容器の後方が僅かに変形して小蓋は後方へ移動し、小蓋の前部の嵌合部の嵌合突起が、蓋容器の天板の凹状部の内側端の嵌合突起から外れ、親指を上方へ移動することにより小蓋が開き、蓋容器の天板に設けられている広口の取出し口が開口する。そして、容器に収納されている内容物のタブレットを、一個ずつ指でつまんで広口の取出し口から取り出すことができる。開いた小蓋は、人指し指で上面を下方へ押すと、蓋容器の天板の嵌合突起に小蓋の嵌合突起がクリック感（カチッと嵌まる感触）をもってロックされる。また、小蓋の下面に取出し口の内周面と外周面を摺接するリブがあり、小蓋の押部下面と当接する支えリブが凹状部の内側端近傍に立設しているため、小蓋がしっかりした形状で、固定位置に停止する。
【００１３】
なお、小蓋をもつ蓋容器は、構造上、深い容器にすることが好ましく、従って、底容器を浅くすることがある。このときの内容物の充填は、例えば、小蓋を閉じた蓋容器を倒置して内容物を充填し、底容器を嵌着して封止するものである。
【００１４】
次に、本発明の実施形態２のタブレット容器（１０）は、図３、図４及び図７に示すように、蓋容器（１００）の小蓋（１３０）のヒンジ（１０１）の対向位置の前部に押部（１３１）を垂設し、この押部の前面上端縁部に、上面に線状の切込み（１４１）を設けて形成するヒンジ（１４２）を介して下面に、前後２本の線状突起（１４３）を裏面にもつ押し板（１４０）を延設する以外は、前述の実施形態１のタブレット容器と同様である。
【００１５】
実施形態２のタブレット容器は、小蓋を開けるときに、押し板の先端下面に指を掛けて上方後方へ押すと、押し板がヒンジから上方へ角度をもって折れ曲がり、小さな力で押し板を押しても、梃の理で押部が大きな力で後方へ押されるため、小蓋が簡単に開くものである。
【００１６】
【発明の効果】
本発明のタブレット容器は、比較的に気密性を必要としない菓子などのタブレット状の内容物を収納し、広口の取出し口から内容物のタブレットを一個ずつ指でつまん取り出せ、取出し口の開閉がし易くて使用し易いタブレット容器である。
【００１７】
また、外形を曲面状に形成した本発明のタブレット容器は、手で取り扱いやすく、携帯にも便利な容器である。
