本発明に係る錠剤容器の中栓を本実施の形態を示す図面に基づいて以下説明する。図中において、1は、錠剤容器の中栓の栓本体である。錠剤容器は、多数の錠剤9を収納する容器本体を備える。容器本体は、一端部に形成された開口部を備える。開口部は、平面視略円形をなしている。   An inner stopper of a tablet container according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings showing the present embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plug body of an inner stopper of a tablet container. The tablet container includes a container body that stores a large number of tablets 9. The container body includes an opening formed at one end. The opening has a substantially circular shape in plan view.

栓本体1は、平面視略円形の板部10を備え、板部10の円周部分から立ち上がる周壁部11を備えている。また、栓本体1は、周壁部11の頂部から外方に鍔状に延び出るリブ部12を備える。リブ部12は、「栓本体1の円周縁」に該当する。   The plug body 1 includes a plate portion 10 that is substantially circular in plan view, and includes a peripheral wall portion 11 that rises from a circumferential portion of the plate portion 10. The plug body 1 includes a rib portion 12 that extends outwardly from the top of the peripheral wall portion 11 in a bowl shape. The rib portion 12 corresponds to “the circumferential edge of the plug body 1”.

栓本体1は、板部10及び周壁部11が容器本体の開口部に嵌まり込み、開口部を閉塞する。また、栓本体1は、リブ部12の裏面が容器本体の開口部の縁に載置されて支持される。   As for the stopper main body 1, the board part 10 and the surrounding wall part 11 fit in the opening part of a container main body, and obstruct | occlude an opening part. The stopper body 1 is supported by placing the back surface of the rib portion 12 on the edge of the opening of the container body.

また、栓本体1は、板部10の一部に穿設された振出孔13を備える。振出孔13は、栓本体1の円周縁の内側を描く円弧部分130と、円弧部分130に連なる2本の直線131、131とにより囲まれた平面視略扇形をなしている。振出孔13は、錠剤容器に収納されている錠剤9を外部に振り出すための孔である。振出孔13の形状及び寸法については、後述にて説明する。   Further, the plug body 1 includes a swing hole 13 formed in a part of the plate portion 10. The oscillating hole 13 has a substantially sector shape in plan view surrounded by an arc portion 130 that describes the inside of the circumferential edge of the plug body 1 and two straight lines 131 and 131 that are continuous with the arc portion 130. The dispensing hole 13 is a hole for dispensing the tablet 9 stored in the tablet container to the outside. The shape and dimensions of the outlet hole 13 will be described later.

また、振出孔13は、平面視略扇形の辺から円の中心に向かって突き出る突起14を備える。突起14は、錠剤容器から外部に振り出される錠剤9に対して抵抗を与えるものであり、1回の振出数が所定の服用数となるように調整する部材である。突起14の位置及び寸法については、後述にて説明する。また、本発明において、「所定の服用数」は、1錠以上3錠以下の範囲を想定している。   In addition, the swing hole 13 includes a protrusion 14 that protrudes from a substantially fan-shaped side in plan view toward the center of the circle. The protrusion 14 gives resistance to the tablet 9 that is swung out from the tablet container, and is a member that adjusts so that the number of times of one swing is a predetermined number of doses. The position and dimensions of the protrusion 14 will be described later. In the present invention, the “predetermined number of doses” is assumed to be in the range of 1 to 3 tablets.

また、振出孔13は、平面視略扇形が有する隅部132が丸められてアール形状をなしている。隅部132の丸めについては、後述にて説明する。   Further, the outlet hole 13 has a rounded shape with rounded corners 132 of a substantially fan shape in plan view. The rounding of the corner 132 will be described later.

以上のとおり、本発明に係る錠剤容器の中栓は、単純な構造であるが、振出孔13の形状及び大きさが最適化されているため、1回の振出数が所定の服用数となるように調整することができる。かかる最適化は、以下に挙げる試験により得たデータに基づいてなされたものであり、発明者の鋭意努力により得たものである。   As described above, the inner stopper of the tablet container according to the present invention has a simple structure, but since the shape and size of the ejection hole 13 are optimized, the number of ejections per time becomes the predetermined number of dosages. Can be adjusted as follows. Such optimization has been made based on data obtained by the following tests, and has been obtained by the inventors' diligent efforts.

(振出孔13の形状について)
栓本体1の振出孔13の形状について、「平面視略丸形」、「平面視略四角形」、「平面視略扇形」及び「平面視略半月形」を検討する。本発明の試験に使用する錠剤9は、略円盤状をなし、平面視最大直径が9.0mmであり且つ断面視最大厚みが5.1mmである。また、試験は、図3及び図4に示すように、錠剤9が円盤のアール面(厚み方向を向く面)を向くように振出孔13から振り出た場合の結果を測定するものとする。
(About the shape of the ejection hole 13)
Regarding the shape of the ejection hole 13 of the plug body 1, “a plan view substantially circular shape”, “a plan view substantially square shape”, “a plan view substantially sector shape”, and “a plan view substantially half moon shape” are examined. The tablet 9 used in the test of the present invention has a substantially disk shape, the maximum diameter in plan view is 9.0 mm, and the maximum thickness in sectional view is 5.1 mm. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the test measures the result when the tablet 9 is swung out from the swing hole 13 so as to face the rounded surface (the surface facing the thickness direction) of the disk.

試験は、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「100%(800錠)」、「50%(400錠)」及び「10%(80錠)」の場合に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振った(1回の振出操作)ときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、その平均値を評価値とする。結果は、以下の表1に示すとおりである。   The test classifies the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body into “100% (800 tablets)”, “50% (400 tablets)” and “10% (80 tablets)”. The number of shakes of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once (one shake operation) is measured. In the test, three testers perform the swinging operation 10 times, and the average value is used as the evaluation value. The results are as shown in Table 1 below.

Figure 0005616933
Figure 0005616933

表1に依れば、振出孔13が平面視略扇形をなす場合、各充填率とも振出数が1錠以上3錠以下の範囲内となっている(表1の網掛け領域参照)。従って、錠剤容器の中栓の振出孔13の形状は、「平面視略扇型」が最適である。   According to Table 1, when the ejection hole 13 has a substantially sector shape in plan view, the number of ejections is within the range of 1 to 3 tablets for each filling rate (see the shaded area in Table 1). Therefore, the shape of the ejection hole 13 of the inner cap of the tablet container is optimally “substantially fan-shaped in plan view”.

(振出孔13の大きさについて)
試験は、平面視略扇形の振出孔13について、基本の高さ寸法を「19mm」とし、角度を「45°」、「50°」、「55°」、「60°」及び「65°」に分類し、各角度において錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。また、試験は、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「100%(800錠)」、「50%(400錠)」及び「10%(80錠)」に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、平均値を評価値とする。その結果は、以下の表2に示すとおりである。
(About the size of the ejection hole 13)
In the test, the basic height dimension is set to “19 mm” and the angles are set to “45 °”, “50 °”, “55 °”, “60 °”, and “65 °” with respect to the swing hole 13 having a substantially fan shape in plan view. In each angle, the number of swings of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once at each angle is measured. In addition, the test classifies the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body into “100% (800 tablets)”, “50% (400 tablets)” and “10% (80 tablets)”. The number of shaking out of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once is measured. The test is performed by three testers 10 times, and the average value is taken as the evaluation value. The results are as shown in Table 2 below.

Figure 0005616933
Figure 0005616933

表2に依れば、平面視略扇型の角度が小さい場合、充填率100%のときの錠剤9の振り出しが悪く、詰まり易い傾向にある。一方、角度が大きい場合、錠剤9の振り出しが良くなりすぎ、所定の服用数を超えて錠剤9が振り出ることが判明した。また、充填率10%の場合、角度が小さいときであっても、1回の振出操作で複数の錠剤9が振り出ることが判明した。   According to Table 2, when the angle of the substantially fan shape in plan view is small, the tablet 9 is poorly drawn when the filling rate is 100% and tends to be clogged. On the other hand, when the angle is large, it has been found that the tablet 9 swings out too much, and the tablet 9 swings out beyond the predetermined dose. Further, when the filling rate was 10%, it was found that a plurality of tablets 9 were swung out by one swinging operation even when the angle was small.

(突起14について)
錠剤9が振出孔13に詰まることなく、且つ、いずれの充填率であっても、1回の振出数を「1錠」に近づけるための工夫を検討する。錠剤9を振り出したところ、振り出た直後の錠剤9の後ろに、複数の錠剤9が存在し、順次に振り出ることが確認された。この観点に基づき、錠剤9が所定の服用数を超えて振り出ることがないように工夫する。また、充填率が10%の場合であっても、錠剤9の振り出し数が多くならないように工夫する。
(About protrusion 14)
A device for making the number of shakes close to “1 tablet” without considering the tablets 9 clogging the shakeout holes 13 and any filling rate will be examined. When the tablets 9 were shaken out, it was confirmed that there were a plurality of tablets 9 behind the tablets 9 immediately after being shaken out, and the tablets 9 were shaken out sequentially. Based on this point of view, the tablet 9 is devised so as not to swing out beyond a predetermined number of doses. Further, even if the filling rate is 10%, the number of swinging out of the tablets 9 is devised so as not to increase.

そこで、錠剤9の振り出しに対して抵抗を与える突起14を振出孔13に設けることとし、当該構成が効果的であるか否かを確認する。   Therefore, a protrusion 14 that provides resistance to the tablet 9 is provided in the outlet hole 13 to check whether or not the configuration is effective.

具体的には、突起14は、以下のように設けられる。平面視略扇形の振出孔13の内側には内接円2が描かれ(図1(a)及び図2(a)参照)、描かれた内接円2の同心状に錠剤9が置かれる(図3及び図4参照)。   Specifically, the protrusion 14 is provided as follows. An inscribed circle 2 is drawn on the inner side of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view (see FIGS. 1A and 2A), and the tablet 9 is placed concentrically with the drawn inscribed circle 2. (See FIGS. 3 and 4).

内接円2と振出孔の辺(円弧部分130及び直線部分131)とが接する接点20を定め、定めた接点20を中心とする位置から内接円2の中心に向かって、複数の突起14を設ける(図1(a)参照)。突起14は、突出長さが、内接円の同心状に配された錠剤9の円周縁に接触する程度となる(図3(b)参照)。突起14は、錠剤9の振り出しに対して抵抗を与えることができ、1回の振出操作で必要数以上に錠剤9が振り出ることがないように規制する。   A contact point 20 where the inscribed circle 2 and the sides of the outlet hole (the arc portion 130 and the straight portion 131) are in contact is defined, and a plurality of protrusions 14 are formed from a position centered on the determined contact point 20 toward the center of the inscribed circle 2. (See FIG. 1A). The protrusion 14 has such a length that the protrusion 14 comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the tablet 9 arranged concentrically with the inscribed circle (see FIG. 3B). The protrusion 14 can provide resistance to the swinging out of the tablet 9 and restricts the tablet 9 from swinging out more than necessary by one swinging operation.

また、突起14は、三方向から突き出ることにより、錠剤9が円盤の側周面(径方向)を向いて振り出る場合であっても、図3(c)に示すように、錠剤9が3方向から同時に振り出されようとしたとき、中央で錠剤9同士が交わるため、1回の振出操作で必要数以上に錠剤9が振り出ることがないように規制する(図3(c)参照)。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the protrusion 14 protrudes from three directions, so that even if the tablet 9 swings out toward the side peripheral surface (radial direction) of the disk, the tablet 9 is 3 When tablets 9 are swung out from the direction at the same time, the tablets 9 cross each other at the center, so that the tablets 9 are not swung out more than necessary by one swinging operation (see FIG. 3C). .

円弧部分130から突き出る突起14は、錠剤9の振り出しに対して特に抵抗を与えることができ、充填率10%の場合であっても、所定の服用数を超えて錠剤9が振り出ることがないように規制する(図3(c)参照)。   The protrusions 14 protruding from the arc portion 130 can give resistance particularly to the swinging out of the tablet 9, and even when the filling rate is 10%, the tablet 9 does not swing out beyond the predetermined dose. (See FIG. 3C).

また、平面視略扇形の振出孔13は、穿設加工が行いやすく、製造費用の低減につながるため、図1乃至4に示すように、隅部132が丸められている。また、振出孔13は、隅部132が丸められることにより、径方向の高さ寸法Xが若干短くなる。基本の高さ寸法Xと丸みを付けた後の高さ寸法Xとの関係は、以下の表3に示すとおりである。   Further, the swing hole 13 having a substantially fan shape in plan view is easy to drill and leads to a reduction in manufacturing cost. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the corner 132 is rounded. Further, the height 13 in the radial direction is slightly shortened when the corner 132 is rounded. The relationship between the basic height dimension X and the height dimension X after rounding is as shown in Table 3 below.

Figure 0005616933
Figure 0005616933

突起14の効果を確認するための試験は、平面視略扇形の振出孔13について、丸みを付けた後の高さ寸法を「17.1mm」(基本の高さ寸法が19mm)とし、角度を「52°」、「58°」及び「65°」に分類し、各角度において錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。   The test for confirming the effect of the protrusion 14 was performed by setting the height dimension after rounding to “17.1 mm” (basic height dimension is 19 mm) and the angle of the swing hole 13 having a substantially fan shape in plan view. Classification is made into “52 °”, “58 °”, and “65 °”, and the number of swings of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once at each angle is measured.

また、試験は、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「100%(800錠)」、「50%(400錠)」及び「10%(80錠)」に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、平均値を評価値とする。結果は、以下の表4(突起ある場合)乃至5(突起が無い場合)に示すとおりである。   In addition, the test classifies the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body into “100% (800 tablets)”, “50% (400 tablets)” and “10% (80 tablets)”. The number of shaking out of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once is measured. The test is performed by three testers 10 times, and the average value is taken as the evaluation value. The results are as shown in the following Tables 4 (when there are protrusions) to 5 (when there is no protrusion).

表4乃至5に依れば、突起14を振出孔13に設けることにより、いずれの充填率であっても1回の振出数が安定することが判明した。   According to Tables 4 to 5, it was found that by providing the protrusions 14 in the swing holes 13, the number of swings performed once is stable at any filling rate.

また、突起14の先端が錠剤9の円周縁に接触しない場合であっても、各充填率における1回の振出数がある程度安定することが判明した。但し、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の角度が大きい場合は、充填率10%の時に、1回の振出数が所定の服用数を超えることが判明した。仍って、錠剤9の振り出しに対して抵抗を与える突起14を振出孔13に設けることは効果的である。   Further, it was found that even when the tip of the protrusion 14 does not contact the peripheral edge of the tablet 9, the number of one-time swings at each filling rate is stabilized to some extent. However, it has been found that when the angle of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view is large, the number of ejections per time exceeds the predetermined number of dosages when the filling rate is 10%. Therefore, it is effective to provide the protrusion 14 with the protrusion 14 that gives resistance to the tablet 9 being shaken out.

(邪魔板部分15について)
上述する試験の結果が示すとおり、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の角度が大きく、且つ、錠剤9の充填率が低い場合、1回の振出数が多く不安定となる。そこで、錠剤9の充填率が低くなる場合であっても、錠剤9の振出数を安定することができるように工夫する。
(About the baffle plate portion 15)
As the result of the test described above shows, when the angle of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view is large and the filling rate of the tablet 9 is low, the number of ejections per one time is large and unstable. Therefore, even if the filling rate of the tablets 9 is low, it is devised so that the number of swings of the tablets 9 can be stabilized.

そこで、振出孔13の円弧部分130と栓本体1の円周縁との間に、錠剤9の振出数を抑制する邪魔板部分15を設けることとし、当該構成が効果的であるか否かを確認する。   Therefore, a baffle plate portion 15 that suppresses the number of tablets 9 to be ejected is provided between the arc portion 130 of the dispensing hole 13 and the peripheral edge of the stopper body 1, and it is confirmed whether or not the configuration is effective. To do.

具体的には、邪魔板部分15は、振出孔13の円弧部分130と栓本体1の円周縁との間に形成されている(図1及び図2参照)。   Specifically, the baffle plate portion 15 is formed between the arc portion 130 of the outlet hole 13 and the peripheral edge of the stopper body 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

邪魔板部分15の効果を確認するための試験は、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「10%」とし、その場合の錠剤9の振出数を計測する。また、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の角度を「65°」とし、この条件で錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、その平均値を評価値とする。結果は、以下の表6に示すとおりである。   In the test for confirming the effect of the baffle plate portion 15, the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body is set to “10%”, and the number of swings of the tablets 9 in that case is measured. Further, the angle of the ejection hole 13 having a substantially fan shape in plan view is set to “65 °”, and the number of ejections of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once under this condition is measured. In the test, three testers perform the swinging operation 10 times, and the average value is used as the evaluation value. The results are as shown in Table 6 below.

表6に依れば、邪魔板部分15は、高さ寸法Yが1mmから3mmに変化するに応じて、好適な効果を得ることができるが、4mmに達した場合に、全く効果を得られないことが判明した。これについて考察したところ、4mmの高さ寸法Yを有する邪魔板部分15は、振り出ようとする錠剤9を堰止めている。そして、別の錠剤9が堰止められた錠剤9を乗り越える格好で邪魔板部分15に邪魔されることなく振り出ており、邪魔板部分15は、何らかの効果を奏していない。仍って、振出孔13の円弧部分130と栓本体1の円周縁との間に、高さ寸法Yが1乃至3mm程度の邪魔板部分15を設けることは効果的である。   According to Table 6, the baffle plate portion 15 can obtain a suitable effect as the height dimension Y changes from 1 mm to 3 mm. Not found out. Considering this, the baffle plate portion 15 having a height Y of 4 mm dams the tablet 9 to be shaken out. Then, another tablet 9 swings out without being disturbed by the baffle plate portion 15 so as to get over the blocked tablet 9, and the baffle plate portion 15 has no effect. Therefore, it is effective to provide the baffle plate portion 15 having a height Y of about 1 to 3 mm between the arc portion 130 of the swing hole 13 and the peripheral edge of the stopper body 1.

(総合的試験)
総合的試験は、1回の振出数を「1錠」とし、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の高さ寸法X、角度、突起14の突出位置及び邪魔板部分15の高さ寸法Y、それぞれの限界点を確認することを目的とする。
(Comprehensive examination)
In the comprehensive test, the number of swings at one time is “1 tablet”, and the height dimension X and angle of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view, the protruding position of the protrusion 14, and the height dimension Y of the baffle plate portion 15, respectively. The purpose is to confirm the limit point.

具体的には、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の高さ寸法Xについて、「19mm」(丸みを付けた後の高さ寸法17.1mm)を基準として、高さ寸法Xの上限及び下限を確認する。   Specifically, with respect to the height dimension X of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view, the upper limit and the lower limit of the height dimension X are set with reference to “19 mm” (the height dimension after rounding is 17.1 mm). Check.

また、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の角度について、錠剤9と突起14とが接触する角度を基準とし、角度の上限及び下限を確認する。また、邪魔板部分15の高さ寸法Yについて、1乃至3mmの間で錠剤9の振出具合を確認する。   Further, the upper and lower limits of the angle are confirmed with reference to the angle at which the tablet 9 and the protrusion 14 are in contact with each other, with respect to the angle of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in plan view. In addition, with respect to the height dimension Y of the baffle plate portion 15, the shaking condition of the tablet 9 is confirmed between 1 and 3 mm.

また、突起14の突出位置について、振出孔13の内接円2の接点20を中心とする位置から突出する形態(図1(a)及び図4(a)参照)と、接点20を中心とする位置から第一距離Mだけずらした位置から突出する形態(図2(a)及び図4(b)参照)と、接点20を中心とする位置から第二距離Nだけずらした位置から突出する形態(図4(c)参照)との間で、錠剤9の振出具合を確認する。   Further, with respect to the protruding position of the protrusion 14, a form (see FIGS. 1A and 4A) that protrudes from a position centering on the contact 20 of the inscribed circle 2 of the swing hole 13, and the contact 20 as the center. Projecting from a position shifted by a first distance M from the position (see FIGS. 2A and 4B), and projecting from a position shifted by a second distance N from the position centered on the contact 20 The shaking state of the tablet 9 is confirmed with the form (see FIG. 4C).

ここで、第一距離Mとは、突起14が接点20を中心として平面視略扇形の振出孔13の円弧部分130に沿った方向にずらされた状態であって且つ突起14のいずれかの部分が接点20と内接円2の中心とを仮想的に結ぶ直線133と接する距離をいう(図2(a)及び図4(b)参照)。また、第二距離Nとは、第一距離Mより長く、突起14が接点20を中心として平面視略扇形の振出孔13の円弧部分130に沿った方向にずらされた状態であって且つ突起14のいずれの部分も直線133と接することができない距離をいう(図4(c)参照)。   Here, the first distance M is a state in which the projection 14 is shifted in the direction along the arc portion 130 of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 around the contact point 20, and any portion of the projection 14. Is a distance in contact with a straight line 133 that virtually connects the contact point 20 and the center of the inscribed circle 2 (see FIGS. 2A and 4B). The second distance N is longer than the first distance M, and the projection 14 is shifted in the direction along the arc portion 130 of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 with the contact point 20 as the center. 14 refers to the distance at which no part of 14 can contact the straight line 133 (see FIG. 4C).

総合的試験は、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「100%(800錠)」、「50%(400錠)」及び「10%(80錠)」の場合に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。総合的試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、その平均値を評価値とする。なお、総合的試験において、1回の振出数が「1錠」となる結果を高評価とする。また、一般的な「服用数」が1乃至3錠であることから、1回の振出数が3錠以下となる結果についても評価する。   The comprehensive test classifies the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body into the cases of “100% (800 tablets)”, “50% (400 tablets)” and “10% (80 tablets)”. Then, the number of swings of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once is measured. In the comprehensive test, three testers perform the swinging operation 10 times, and the average value is used as the evaluation value. In the comprehensive test, the result that the number of swings at one time is “1 tablet” is regarded as high evaluation. In addition, since the general “number of doses” is 1 to 3 tablets, the result that the number of shakes per one is 3 tablets or less is also evaluated.

(錠剤9の厚みが異なる場合について)
上述する試験で使用する錠剤9は、断面視最大厚みが5.1mmである。しかしながら、本発明は、これに限定されることなく、異なる厚みを有する錠剤9であってもよい。以下、上述する試験の結果が、異なる厚みの錠剤9においても有効であるか否かについて確認する。実施例7及び8の試験で使用する錠剤9は、断面視最大厚みが4.55乃至5.55mmである。
(When the thickness of the tablet 9 is different)
The tablet 9 used in the above-described test has a maximum sectional thickness of 5.1 mm. However, this invention is not limited to this, The tablet 9 which has different thickness may be sufficient. Hereinafter, it is confirmed whether or not the results of the test described above are effective even for tablets 9 having different thicknesses. The tablet 9 used in the tests of Examples 7 and 8 has a maximum sectional thickness of 4.55 to 5.55 mm.

また、実施例7及び8の試験は、上述する試験と同様、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「100%(800錠)」、「50%(400錠)」及び「10%(80錠)」に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、平均値を評価値とする。   In the tests of Examples 7 and 8, as in the test described above, the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body was set to “100% (800 tablets)”, “50% (400 tablets)”, and “10% (80 Tablet) ”, and at each filling rate, the number of swings of the tablet 9 when the tablet container is shaken once is measured.

表50乃至55に依れば、錠剤9の断面視最大厚みが「4.55mm」の場合、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の角度を最小にしたとき、錠剤9の振り出しが良くなりすぎて、1回の振出数が1錠を超えることが判明した。   According to Tables 50 to 55, when the maximum cross-sectional thickness of the tablet 9 is “4.55 mm”, when the angle of the ejection hole 13 having a substantially fan shape in a plan view is minimized, the tablet 9 is ejected too much. It was found that the number of swings per time exceeded one tablet.

一方、錠剤9の断面視最大厚みが「5.55mm」の場合、平面視略扇形の振出孔13の高さ寸法X(丸みを付けた後)を「19.4mm」としたときは、効果的であるが、高さ寸法Xを「17.1mm」としたときは、角度が小さくなるに応じて、錠剤9の振り出しが悪く、取り出し難いことが判明した。   On the other hand, when the tablet 9 has a maximum sectional view thickness of “5.55 mm”, the effect is obtained when the height dimension X (after rounding) of the substantially fan-shaped ejection hole 13 in the plan view is “19.4 mm”. However, when the height dimension X is set to “17.1 mm”, it has been found that as the angle becomes smaller, the tablet 9 does not swing out and is difficult to take out.

以上、本試験の結論は、以下の表56乃至58に示すように、振出孔13の高さ寸法Xを「17.1mm」とし、振出孔13の角度を表50乃至51の角度に2°足して「58°」及び「54°」とすることにより、錠剤9の断面視厚みが「5.55mm」となる場合であっても、1回の振出数を少なくとも「1錠」確保することができることが判明した。   As described above, the conclusion of this test is that, as shown in Tables 56 to 58 below, the height dimension X of the ejection hole 13 is “17.1 mm”, and the angle of the ejection hole 13 is 2 ° to the angle of Tables 50 to 51. By adding “58 °” and “54 °”, it is necessary to secure at least “1 tablet” at one time even when the tablet 9 has a cross-sectional thickness of “5.55 mm”. Turned out to be possible.

上述する試験で使用する錠剤9は、平面視最大直径が9.0mmである。しかしながら、本発明は、これに限定されることなく、異なる直径を有する錠剤9であってもよい。以下、上述する試験の結果が、異なる直径の錠剤9においても有効であるか否かについて確認する。以下の実施例9の試験で使用する錠剤9は、平面視最大直径が「6mm」と「8mm」とであり、振出孔については、「9mm」の錠剤で設定した平面視略扇形の形状、大きさを「6mm」と「8mm」の錠剤に対して、相似形で縮小したものを用いた。
(When the diameters of tablets 9 are different)
The tablet 9 used in the above-described test has a maximum diameter in plan view of 9.0 mm. However, this invention is not limited to this, The tablet 9 which has a different diameter may be sufficient. Hereinafter, it is confirmed whether or not the results of the test described above are effective even for tablets 9 having different diameters. The tablet 9 used in the following test of Example 9 has a plan view maximum diameter of “6 mm” and “8 mm”, and the ejection hole has a substantially fan-like shape in plan view set with a tablet of “9 mm”; For tablets with sizes of “6 mm” and “8 mm”, the tablets reduced in a similar shape were used.

また、実施例9の試験は、上述する試験と同様、容器本体内の錠剤9の充填率を「6mm」の場合「100%(2400錠)」、「50%(1200錠)」及び「10%(240錠)」とし、「8mm」の場合、「100%(1100錠)」、「50%(550錠)」及び「10%(110錠)」に分類し、各充填率において、錠剤容器を1回振ったときの錠剤9の振出数を計測する。試験は、3名の試験者が振出操作を10回行い、平均値を評価値とする。   Similarly to the above-described test, the test of Example 9 is “100% (2400 tablets)”, “50% (1200 tablets)” and “10” when the filling rate of the tablets 9 in the container body is “6 mm”. % (240 tablets), and in the case of “8 mm”, it is classified into “100% (1100 tablets)”, “50% (550 tablets)” and “10% (110 tablets)”. The number of shaking out of the tablet 9 when the container is shaken once is measured. The test is performed by three testers 10 times, and the average value is taken as the evaluation value.

表65乃至68に依れば、錠剤9の平面視最大直径が異なる場合であっても、上述する試験の結果と略同じであることが判明した。   According to Tables 65 to 68, it was found that even if the maximum diameters of the tablets 9 in plan view are different, the results of the test described above are substantially the same.

以上、本試験の結論は、錠剤9の平面視最大直径が異なる場合、振出孔13の高さ寸法及び角度と、邪魔板部分15の高さ寸法と、突起14の突出位置及び大きさについて、平面視最大直径「9.0mm」のときのものを基準として、相似形となる振出孔13を形成することで対応することができることが判明した。   As described above, the conclusion of this test is that when the tablet 9 has a different maximum diameter in plan view, the height dimension and angle of the ejection hole 13, the height dimension of the baffle plate portion 15, and the protruding position and size of the protrusion 14 are as follows. It has been found that it is possible to cope with this by forming the squeeze hole 13 having a similar shape on the basis of the maximum diameter “9.0 mm” in plan view.

なお、突起14を振出孔13の内接円2の接点20を中心とする位置から突出させる形態の場合に、実施例4に示す範囲を設定する一例(総合的試験の結果を参照)として、標準値と考える表69に示す値に基づき設定した錠剤容器の中栓を示す図を図1として添付する。また、突起14を振出孔13の内接円2の接点20を中心とする位置から第一距離Mだけずらした位置から突出させる形態の場合、実施例5に示す範囲を設定する一例(総合的試験の結果を参照)として、標準値と考える表69に示す値に基づき設定した錠剤容器の中栓を示す図を図2として添付する。   In the case where the protrusion 14 protrudes from a position centering on the contact 20 of the inscribed circle 2 of the swing hole 13 as an example (see the result of the comprehensive test) for setting the range shown in Example 4. A diagram showing the inner cap of the tablet container set based on the values shown in Table 69 considered as standard values is attached as FIG. Further, in the case where the protrusion 14 protrudes from a position shifted by the first distance M from the position centered on the contact point 20 of the inscribed circle 2 of the swing hole 13, an example of setting the range shown in the fifth embodiment (general) As a test result, see FIG. 2 showing a diagram showing an inner stopper of a tablet container set based on the values shown in Table 69 considered as standard values.
