Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (1) Industrial application field This invention is designed to prevent the tablets from being damaged by vibration during transportation in bottles filled with tablets.
This relates to a tablet holding material that is loaded into a bottle.

(2) Prior Art Conventional tablet holding materials for bottles include sponges such as urethane foam and moltoprene, rolled polyfilms, and the like.

Also, Publication No. 55-6367 and Publication No. 57-
Publication No. 36619 discloses a synthetic resin tablet presser that is interposed between the tablet and the lid inside the bottle and presses the tablet with a presser plate that corresponds to the inner diameter of the bottle.

(3) Problems to be solved by the invention Tablet holding materials made of sponge have the disadvantage of gradually turning yellow, and when sterilized with EO gas, etc., this gas enters into the sponge and remains.

When tablet holding material is made of rolled polyfilm, when it is loaded into a bottle, the rolled film expands and a part of it protrudes into the mouth of the bottle, which is bitten by the cap, which prevents the bottle from being completely sealed. Moisture enters.

On the other hand, the tablet presser disclosed in the publication does not have the above-mentioned disadvantages of deterioration or getting caught in the cap, but it has a problem that it has a complicated structure and requires time and effort to manufacture. That is, in the case of Utility Model Publication No. 55-6367, it is necessary to connect the tablet presser and the outward facing flange at the desiccant accommodating section;
The one disclosed in Publication No. 36619 requires the annular body and the presser plate to be connected with multiple belt-like strings, so a process of joining them with adhesive or the like is required, and it is necessary to connect the annular body and the presser plate with adhesive, etc. It cannot be formed into a molded product. For this reason, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost is high and the device is not suitable for a tablet press that requires mass production.

This invention was made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a tablet presser that is easy to manufacture, suitable for mass production, and capable of reliably holding tablets.

(4) Means to solve the problems In order to solve the above problems, this invention
Consisting of a punched or molded product from a thin plate of low-density polyethylene, a plurality of radial knob pieces are connected to the periphery of a disc part of a size corresponding to the inner diameter of the bottle, and the knob pieces are shaped like a vertically elongated ring in the radial direction. This is a tablet holder for bottles.

(5) Function This tablet holder has the ability to return to a flat state, so after filling the bottle with tablets, place this tablet holder on the bottle mouth and press the center of the disc with your fingertip to release the bottle. When loaded into the tablet, the disk returns to its flat shape and presses down on the tablet. In this case, the knob piece is
It presses against the inner peripheral surface of the cap or bottle and bends upward, and its resilience in the direction of inversion presses the disk portion against the tablet.

(6) Embodiment Figure 1 shows a tablet holder of this invention. This tablet holder A is made of a punched or molded product from a thin low-density polyethylene plate, and has a disc part 1 with a size equal to the inner diameter of the bottle. Three radial knob pieces 2 are connected to the periphery at equal intervals. Above knob piece 2
is formed into a long annular shape that is vertically elongated in the radial direction in which it is attached.

If a large number of small protrusions 3 are connected to the entire circumference of the disc part 1, even if the size of the disc part 1 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the bottle, these small protrusions will come into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the bottle.

4 is a punched hole for saving the material of the disc part 1.

As shown in Fig. 3, this tablet holder A is loaded into a bottle B filled with tablets 5, but when loading it, place it on the bottle mouth and press the center of the disc part 1 with your fingertips. Push down and insert into bottle.

When the maximum amount of tablets is in the bottle, the tab piece 2 stands up and is in the bottle mouth, and by attaching the cap 6, the disk part is prevented from floating and the upper end of the tab piece protrudes from the bottle mouth. Even if the grip piece is shaped like a long ring as shown in the figure, the grip piece can be easily bent when the cap is attached, and the grip piece can be prevented from getting caught in the cap. Further, by forming the grip into a ring shape, the bending elasticity of the entire knob piece is improved, and the disc portion 1 is constantly brought into pressure contact with the tablet.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 4, when the number of tablets 5 in bottle B is small, the tab piece 2 enters into the bottle and exhibits radial restorability, and comes into pressure contact with the inner circumferential wall of the bottle, causing the disk part to float freely. There is no reward.

(7) Effects As described above, the tablet holder of this invention has a simple structure in which a protrusion piece and a tab piece are coupled to the periphery of a disc portion of a size corresponding to the inner diameter of the bottle.
It can be formed by punching or integral molding, and can be manufactured at extremely low cost.

In addition, the disc part corresponds to the inner diameter of the bottle body,
A large number of tooth-shaped small protrusions are formed radially around the periphery of the bottle, so that the protrusions do not get caught on the inner circumferential surface of the mouth of the bottle and are bent toward the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body. The outer circumferential edge of the disc portion is brought close to the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body. Therefore, no gap is created between the outer circumferential edge of the disk portion and the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body.

In addition, by making the tab piece into a radially elongated ring shape, when taking out the tablet holder from the bottle, you can hook the tab piece onto your fingertip and pull it upward, regardless of the amount of tablets. It can be easily taken out of the bottle. In addition, since it is annular, it has a weak stiffness, and since there are several pieces around the entire circumference, it can be bent flexibly along the curved surface from the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body to the inner circumferential surface of the mouth. The periphery of the bottle does not interfere with approaching the inner circumferential surface of the bottle body.
