Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cassette container for storing chemicals, which is used by, for example, dropping into a drainage port of a urinal for men to prevent scattering of urine flow during urination and disassembling urine stones. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, there are male urinals used in household and public sanitary facilities, such as wall-mounted urinals and floor-mounted urinals, most of which are made of earthenware. In such a conventional men's urinal, a saucer (spud) is installed at the drain outlet to prevent scattering of the urine flow that disperses and drops when urinating, and one or more A urinary stone control agent consisting of spherical tablets is placed. This urinary stone control agent contains sulfamic acid as a main component and decomposes calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, etc., which are the composition of urinary stones, so that the urine stones caused by urination adhere to the drainage port and the piping system of the toilet bowl body and cause a bad odor. To prevent it from being released.

However, in the above-mentioned urinal, when the urine flow at the time of urination is radiated to the surface of the urinary stone control agent consisting of a saucer installed at the drain outlet and a spherical tablet, the urine flow disperses and falls. It is possible to prevent the large scattering of
It is not possible to block the bounce of small urine droplets to the front side, and this tends to stain the area around the toilet bowl. Further, conventionally, a container having a structure in which a cassette container containing a urinary stone control agent, which resembles a saucer, is dropped into the drain port of the toilet body has been developed and put into practical use. Is not enough to block.

Therefore, in order to eliminate such splashing of urine droplets during urination, the applicant of the present application filed Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2-72138 (hereinafter referred to as “Application No. 2-72138” dated July 6, 1990).
This has been proposed as a cassette container for drug storage as disclosed in the prior invention. The drug-containing cassette container described in the invention of the prior application is composed of, for example, a container body that stores a urinary stone control agent composed of spherical tablets, and a lid body that covers an upper opening of the container body. By devising the shape of, the splashing of urine droplets during urination is prevented.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned cassette container for drug storage of the invention of the prior application is made of a non-decomposable plastic material such as polypropylene resin, so that it can be disposed in its original shape after being discarded. There was a problem that it would remain for a long time such as a hundred years and cause industrial pollution such as environmental pollution.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a medicine container cassette container which can be easily decomposed after disposal.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the drug-containing cassette container of the present invention is formed of a degradable plastic material containing an additive that is degradable by microorganisms and sunlight. It is configured as follows.

[0008]

That is, according to the present invention, since the cassette container is formed of a degradable plastic material to which an additive having a degradability by microorganisms and sunlight is added, after disposal,
Additives are decomposed in a short period of time by irradiation of microorganisms and sunlight, and the plastic material is disintegrated into a granular resin of molecular units, and it blows away in the wind without disappearing the original shape of the container to disappear.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes a drug-containing cassette container according to the present invention, which is an additive having degradability by microorganisms and sunlight, such as Eco Star Plus (trade name) manufactured by Hagiwara Industry Co. It is formed of a degradable plastic material such as polypropylene resin to which a specially treated starch additive is added. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cassette container 1 is composed of a container body 2 for containing a urinary stone control agent A composed of, for example, a spherical tablet, and a lid body 3 for covering an upper opening of the container body 2. The lid body 3 is detachably locked to the locking claws 21 projecting from the container body 2. And the lid 3
Has a hemispherical dome roof-shaped ceiling surface 31, and this ceiling surface 31 has a plurality of openings 32 ... In addition, reference numerals 22 and 23 in the figure are flow holes as drain holes provided on the side and bottom surfaces of the container body 2.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the openings 32 formed in the ceiling surface 31 of the lid 3 allow the cassette container 1 to be drained (not shown) of the male urinal body 10. When the urine flow at the time of urination shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. 5 is radiated in the state where the urine flow is reflected by the opening inner wall surface 32a according to the radiation angle, Through holes 22 and 23 on the side and bottom of the
The urine droplets can be prevented from splashing upward by guiding the urine downwards. in this case,
Since the upper edge 32b of the opening 32 is formed thin, even if the urine flow hits the upper edge 32b, the upper edge 32b hardly bounces upward.

However, according to the present invention described above, the cassette container 1 is made of a degradable plastic material to which an additive capable of degrading microorganisms and sunlight is added. The starch additive that has been specially treated by irradiation with light decomposes in a short period of time and disintegrates into a sandy resin of molecular unit. The sand-granular resin that has collapsed into molecular units in this way blows away in the wind and disappears, and the original shape of the container is not retained.

[0012]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the cassette container is formed of the degradable plastic material to which the additive having the degradability by microorganisms and sunlight is added. , Microorganisms and sunlight will cause the additives to decompose in a short period of time, the plastic material will disintegrate into molecular unit sand granular resin, and it can be blown away in the wind without stopping the original shape of the container and disappear. Moreover, since such a sand-granular resin has no toxicity to living organisms, it does not pollute the environment.
