Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a storage container for storing medicines and supplements by date and time period to prevent forgetting to take medicines or taking duplicate medicines.

Conventionally, a storage container 1 disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, has been proposed in order to prevent forgetting to take medicines or supplements (medicine, etc.) or double-dosing. This storage container 1 has 31 small boxes 3 each displaying dates 7 from the 1st to the 31st on hinged top lids 8, and a large box that can accommodate these small boxes 3 in a plane matrix according to the calendar. 2, and a plurality of large boxes 2 are provided for each time zone such as morning, noon, and evening, and are configured to be vertically stacked.

In Patent Document 1, a step 11 and a ridge 12 are provided around the upper part of the small box as an operation part for taking out the small box 3 from the large box 2. A different color is used as a means of identification at night, a large box is provided with an opening/closing lid to prevent the small boxes from falling during transportation, and a connecting means 24 is provided to connect and separate the small boxes. It is disclosed that a small box capable of storing drugs for one day or several days in the evening can be connected and carried.

Utility Model Registration No. 3122591

If the above-mentioned conventional storage container is properly used, it is possible to prevent forgetting to take medicines or taking them repeatedly. Elderly people who are unable to move their fingers dexterously or who have weak hands take out medicines, etc., have the following problems.

Since the drugs, etc., are put into the small box 3 manually, it is inevitable that some of the drugs, which are available in multiple types, may be left unfilled or the wrong number may be entered. Therefore, in order to correct such a mistake, after the work is completed, the inside of the small box 3 is visually inspected with the upper lid 8 of the small box 3 fully open, and the insufficient amount of medicine etc. Correction work such as taking out etc. is required. However, when the small boxes 3 are placed separately, it is difficult to set the line of sight to the drugs, etc. placed inside each of the small boxes 3, and it is difficult to perform an accurate visual inspection.

If the small boxes 3 are stored in the large box 2, the small boxes 3 are arranged orderly and the line of sight becomes easy to fix. If the opening of 3 is covered, it is difficult to visually inspect all small boxes 3 quickly and accurately. It is necessary to visually inspect the inside of the small box 3 to check if a medicine or the like has been forgotten to be taken. If it is stored, it is necessary to open the lid, which is troublesome.

When taking a drug or the like, a small box 3 with the date of the day of administration is taken out from the large box 2, and the drug can be taken out by opening the upper lid 8 and turning it upside down. Since the operation part 9 when taking out the box is a slight step part 10 and a small ridge part 12 provided around the upper part of the small box 3, the work of grasping and pulling out these is not dexterous with the hand and requires force. It is a great burden for elderly people who are hard to handle. After taking the medicine, the small box 3 is returned to the original place from which it was taken out, but this must be fitted so that the angle and position match the original place, which is very difficult for the elderly. In addition, when carrying the large box 2, elderly people have a weak grip and cannot grasp it well, so that it may slip out of their hands and cause the storage container 1 to fall and be damaged.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a storage container which enables quick and accurate visual inspection of medicines, etc., and which can be easily handled even by elderly people who cannot move their hands dexterously and who have difficulty applying force.

(Storage container 1 according to this embodiment)
Hereinafter, a storage container 1 for medicine (medicine to be taken), which is an embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage container 1 includes eight small boxes 2 (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, and 2h) formed in a horizontally elongated substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped It is provided with a large box 3 in which the eight small boxes 2 formed are arranged in a matrix of two horizontal rows and four vertical stages in a state of being elongated to the left and right.

(Small box 2)
The small box 2 is formed of a chromatic transparent plastic material so that the entire inside can be seen through (the contents can be visually confirmed), and as shown in FIGS. 21 is partitioned into four compartments 23 by three partition walls 22 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. Each compartment 23 has a size that can accommodate a single dose of medicine, and can be individually opened and closed by a hinge-openable small lid (upper lid) 24 whose upper openings are independent of each other. That is, the small box 2 is integrally formed so that four compartments 23 that can be individually opened and closed are continuously arranged in the horizontal direction. Each small lid 24 is supported so as to be freely rotatable in the front-rear direction at the edge of the upper opening. It is detachably fitted with the provided lock receiver 21a. Each private room is hermetically sealed by closing the small lid 24 .

There are a total of 32 individual rooms 23 in the above eight small boxes 2, and the number of doses (28 to 31 times) corresponding to one month (28 to 31 days) of all months from January to December. Medicines can be stored, and the medicines for one dose stored in each private room can be taken out individually by opening only the small lid 24 and turning the small box 2 upside down. At the center of each small lid 24, numbers "1" to "31" are displayed as display information indicating the date of administration of the drug contained in each private room 23, as shown in FIG. ) so that it can be easily seen from the outside of the small lid 24 even by the elderly.

Specifically, "1" to "4" in the small box 2a, "5" to "8" in the small box 2b, "9" to "12" in the small box 2c, and "13" to "" in the small box 2d. 16", "17" to "20" in small box 2e, "21" to "24" in small box 2f, "25" to "28" in small box 2g, "29" to "31" in small box 2h are displayed from left to right in ascending order of numbers. Each number is displayed by printing or pasting a printed seal, and there is no display on the small lid 24 of the private room 23 located at the right end of the small box 2h.

As described above, by appropriately arranging and storing the eight small boxes 2 in the large box 3, as shown in FIG. One month's supply in 31 private rooms 23 that are arranged in a matrix of four tiers and consist of 8 on the 1st to 3rd tiers and 7 on the 4th tier from the back left side to the front right side in the figure. The numbers ``1'' to ``31'', which are the dates of dosing, can be arranged from the left side to the right side in order from the smallest number, and can be arranged so as to increase from the back side to the front side.

In each of the 31 private rooms 23, as shown in FIG. are displayed by printing or pasting a printed seal so that they can be viewed from the outside of the bottom part so that they are directed to the outside (bottom side) of the private room. The numbers displayed on the bottoms 25 are smaller than the numbers displayed on the small lids 24 and are located closer to the corner of each bottom 25 (upper right corner when the bottom is viewed from above). . In addition to the numbers indicating the date of dosing, each small box main body 21 is printed or printed with characters "morning" on the side as characters (display information) indicating the dosing time zone so that it can be visually recognized from the outside of the side. Displayed by attaching a sticker.

(Big box 3)
The large box 3 is made of a colorless or white transparent plastic material so that the inside can be seen through like the small box 2. As shown in FIGS. 2, and a large lid (upper lid) 32 of a hinge opening/closing type whose upper opening can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction like the small box 2. are collectively protected. The large lid 32 is rotatable in the front-rear direction, and has a lock 32a at its free end for closing. do.

The large box main body 31, as shown in FIG. 1, is a substantially rectangular tray body having such a depth that the small box 2 in which it is stored protrudes slightly higher upward. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, there is formed a ridge portion 31c which protrudes upward over the entire widthwise direction and which is substantially bilaterally symmetrical and has a substantially V-shaped cross section. The ridge portion 31c divides the bottom portion 31b into two substantially rectangular recesses 31d, and all the small boxes 2 are accommodated so as to be in contact with the lower end (bottom portion) of the ridge portion 31c. When the large lid 32 is closed, the lower surface of the large lid 32 comes close to the upper surface of the small box 2, so that the small box 2 is prevented from rattling in the vertical direction. There is no problem and the alignment state is not disturbed.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the upper surface of the large lid 32, a sticker (indication board) 33 is attached to indicate characters (indication information) indicating the dosing time period of the medicine contained in the large box 3. As a result, the medicine taking time zone is displayed facing the outside of the large box 2 so that it can be visually recognized from the outside. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, on the lower surface of the large lid 32 are letters (displays) indicating the dosing time period of the drug contained in the large box 3, the name of the drug, the dose (quantity) for one dose, the effect, and the like. A sticker (display board) 34 describing information) is affixed so that when the large lid 3 is opened, the characters are displayed so as to be directed inward. The stickers 33 and 34 may display characters indicating the name of the user (person who takes medicine) who uses the storage container 1 .

By the way, the storage container 1, the small box 2 and the large box 3 shown in FIGS. Although it is described that the time zone is "morning", as shown in FIG. By preparing a plurality of storage containers 1 in which different time periods are described, they can be combined and used as a storage container set.

In this case, it is possible to reduce the possibility of users accidentally taking medicines with different dosing times by mistake, to intuitively select the medicine for the correct time period, and to help preschoolers who cannot read to determine the dosing time. Therefore, in addition to the character information described above, the sticker 33 may include different designs or messages as display information indicating the dosing time period, or may have different ground colors for the stickers. take measures to

For example, the sticker on the morning storage container that holds the morning medicine has a picture of a “little bird” that evokes the image of morning and the letters (greeting) of “good morning”, and the background color is “blue” that is associated with the morning sky. coloring. Although not specifically described in FIG. 7, for example, the sticker on the storage container in the daytime has a picture of "sun" and letters (greetings) of "hello", and the background color is reminiscent of the sun in the daytime. Color with yellow. The sticker on the storage container at night will have a picture of the moon and the letters (greetings) of "Good evening", and the background color will be "pink" that is reminiscent of twilight. The sticker on the storage container before going to bed has a picture of a “sleeping animal” and the words (greeting) “Good night”, and the background color is “green”, which is associated with peace.

Even so, if a small box 2 containing medicine for a predetermined time period (for example, morning) is misplaced in a large box 3 with a sticker displaying display information indicating a different taking time period (for example, night), accidental ingestion will occur. Therefore, the color of the small box 2 is aligned with the color of the sticker 33 of the large box of the same dosing time zone so that the combination of the small box 2 and the large box 3 is not mistaken. That is, the color of the small box 2 is "blue" for morning use, "yellow" for daytime use, "pink" for night use, and "green" for use before going to bed, similarly to the sticker. However, the small box 2 is lightly colored in order to increase the light transmittance so that the medicine contained in the private room can be easily visually recognized from the outside.

(Operation of storage container 1 according to this embodiment)
The storage container 1 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, and thus has the following effects.

In the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment, both a plurality of small boxes 2 for directly storing drugs and a large box 3 for storing them are formed of a transparent plastic material so that the inside can be seen through. By aligning and storing the small boxes 2 in the 3, all the private rooms 23 are arranged in a plane in a matrix. Objects can be individually visually confirmed from the outside of the large box 3. Therefore, when checking for mistakes such as omissions or incorrect numbers after a month's worth of medicine has been put into the small box 2, the small box 2 with the small lid 2 closed is stored in the large box 3. , the inspection can be completed quickly and accurately while moving the line of sight linearly along each private room 23. - 特許庁It is also possible to check at a glance when performing a visual inspection to see if there is any forgetting to take medicine.

In the storage container 1 according to this embodiment, stickers 33 and 34 are attached to the large lid 32 of the large box 3, and when the large lid 32 is closed, part of the private room 23 becomes invisible, but the bottom of the large box main body 31 can be seen. There is nothing to block the line of sight on the side, and if the large box is erected as shown in FIG. Also, the situation inside all the private rooms 23 can be seen through from the outside of the bottom 31b side of the large box 3 . Numbers indicating the date of administration are displayed on the bottom 25 of each private room 23, and these numbers can also be visually recognized (recognized) from the outside of the large box 3. You can easily identify the private room corresponding to the number displayed at the bottom. Therefore, the correcting operation, such as taking out the small box 2 and adding an insufficient amount of medicine or taking out an excessive amount of medicine, is performed by opening the large lid 32 and looking at the numbers displayed on the small lid 24. It can be implemented efficiently.

In the storage container 1 according to this embodiment, the number of the date of administration displayed on the bottom 25 of each private room 23 is smaller than the number displayed on the center of the upper small lid 24, as shown in FIG. When the position of the big box 3 is adjusted so that these numbers are oriented correctly, the numbers are positioned in the upper corners of the bottom part 25, and conversely, the medicines are positioned in the lower part of the bottom part 25. Nothing prevents visual inspection of the drug. The large box 3 in which the small box 2 is stored and the large lid 32 is closed can be erected or turned upside down when a family member or nursing care helper who cares for the elderly or disabled checks whether or not he or she has forgotten to take the medicine. and a glance from the bottom side. It is obvious that the storage container 1 shown in FIG. 8 has been taken from the 1st to the 6th.

In the storage container 1 according to this embodiment, the small box 2 is integrally formed so as to connect a plurality of private rooms 23, and has a certain size. This prevents the user from losing sight of the object due to its small size. In addition, even when the small box 2 is taken out and carried individually when going out, it is possible to avoid forgetting to take the medicine due to confusion with other items in the bag. Note that the small box 2 displays not only numbers (display information) indicating the date of administration, but also letters (display information) indicating the time period of administration, and is colored differently according to the time period of administration. Even when carrying a plurality of small boxes with different dosing time zones, it is possible to take without mistaking.

In the storage container 1 according to this embodiment, the bottom 31b of the large box 3 is partitioned into two recesses 31d by a protruding ridge 31c having a substantially V-shaped cross section that protrudes upward (inward). As shown in FIG. 6, all the eight small boxes 2 are housed so as to be in contact with the lower end (foot portion) of the protruding line portion 31c, and sandwich the protruding line portion 31c in the horizontal direction so that the small boxes 2 adjacent to each other are placed. They are arranged so as to have a gap g of the same width as the protruding streak portion 31c therebetween. When the user of the storage container 1 takes out the small box 2, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the end of the small box 2 can be hooked with the tip of the finger and tilted toward the gap g, or as shown in FIG. 9(a). By inserting the tip of the finger into the gap g and pulling it out upward, it becomes easy to take it out.

In the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment, when the small box 2 is returned to its original position, there is a dimensional margin corresponding to the gap g between adjacent small boxes, so that it can be placed in an accurate position. It can be put back in easily even if it is not properly applied, and it can be naturally aligned and stored in the original position due to the inclination of the protruding part 31c. When viewed from the outside, the ridges 31c form groove-like dents that can be hooked with fingers when the large box 3 is gripped by hand, as shown in FIG. It can be held firmly so that it does not slip off.

In the storage container 1 according to the present embodiment, the color of the plastic material of the small box 2 and the background color of the sticker 33 attached to the large box 3 storing the small box 2 are the same for the dosing time period. are unified in the same color system, and are colored in shades (blue, yellow, pink, green) that can be clearly distinguished from those of different dosing times, so the small box 2 has different dosing times Accidental ingestion due to mistaken placement in the large band box 3 is surely prevented.

In the storage container 1 according to this embodiment, the opening/closing direction of the large lid 32 of the large box 3 and the opening/closing direction of the small lid 24 of the small box 2 stored in the large box 3 are aligned in the same longitudinal direction. Therefore, after the large lid 32 is opened forward and the small box 2 is taken out, the small lid 24 can be opened forward in the same manner as the large lid 32 without changing the orientation of the small box 2. It is easy to move and easy to handle for elderly people whose cognitive function is declining.

The number of compartments provided in one small box may be 3 or less or 5 or more, and the small boxes 2 in the large box 3 should be arranged in 1 row or 3 or more rows and 3 or less vertical rows or 5 or more rows. can be For example, 5 small boxes with 7 private rooms are arranged in a horizontal row and 5 vertical rows in a large box, and 35 private rooms are arranged in a planar matrix of 7 horizontal rows and 5 vertical rows. You can do it.

In the above-described embodiment, the information indicating the date and time of dosing in the small box 2 is displayed by printing directly on the small lid 24 or the small box main body 21 or by attaching a printed sticker. For convenience of use, braille may be displayed on the upper surface of each small lid 24 and the outer surface of the small box main body 21 so that the information can be recognized with a finger from the outside of the small lid and the small lid main body. In addition, in the large box 3, stickers 33 and 34 printed with information indicating the dosing time period, the name of the user (user), the name of the drug, the dose (quantity) for one dose, efficacy, etc. are attached to display. However, in addition to these, Braille may be displayed on the outer surface or the inner surface of the large lid so that it can be recognized by fingers. As a method of displaying Braille, uneven printing, attachment of a Braille sticker, injection molding of Braille, etc. are adopted.

In the above-described embodiment, the storage container 1 has the small box 2 and the large box 3 made of a transparent plastic material so that the inside of the individual compartment can be seen through as a whole. The large box 3 may also be formed so that only the bottom is transparent and the inside of the private room can be seen through there. This is to accommodate the fact that some drugs must be stored in the dark or preferably kept out of light.

In the above-described embodiment, the storage container 1 has only one protrusion 31c formed on the bottom 31b of the large box 3 at the center in the longitudinal direction. Further, they may be formed so as to intersect vertically and horizontally. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the ridges can provide a gap for raising the small box or putting a fingertip on the side of the small box, and by sliding the small box along the slope , as long as it can be naturally accommodated in the aligned position, it may be formed in an arch shape instead of the V shape. Alternatively, the protruding portion may not be provided at all.

In addition to the protruding portion 31c, as shown in FIG. 11, an inclined portion 31e may be provided at the peripheral edge of the bottom of the large box in a direction orthogonal to the peripheral edge.
