Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medicine case, and more particularly, to a medicine case for storing a medicine so that it can be individually and easily taken out each time a medicine is taken.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, when taking medicines, it was often forgotten to drink. On the other hand, even though I had already taken it, I forgot to take the drug twice and it was dangerous. In particular, when an old man or the like became forgetful and vulnerable, there was a greater risk of that. FIG. 5 shows a conventional medicine case 1 for preventing the risk of forgetting to take the medicine or overdose, which is composed of a box-shaped main body 2 and a transparent lid 3 which can be opened and closed by sliding. ing. The main body 2 has a plurality of storage compartments 2a
It has 2b, 2c, and 2d, and on the surface of one common lid 3, each position of the storage compartment is convenient so that it is convenient to take medicine for one day in the morning, noon, evening, or before taking a meal. A medicine case for one day is used that can be individually identified and displayed, and tablets or powdered medicines etc. that have been wrapped in a bag can be stored separately in each of the specified storage compartments and then taken out individually when taken. ing. FIG. 6 shows a conventional larger-sized one-week medicine case 1, which is composed of an outer box 2A and an inner box 2B which can be slid in and out from the outer box 2A in the lateral direction. The outer case 2A is provided with seven transparent lids 3 that can be opened and closed independently for each day of the week. The sliding direction of the individual lid 3 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the inner box 2B. Further, on the upper surface of the outer case 2A, words corresponding to the day of the week, morning, noon, evening, before sleeping, time zones, etc. are displayed to identify the storage position of the medicine for each dose. In the inner box 2B, storage compartments 2a, 2b are provided by partition walls 4 so as to correspond to each day of the week and each of the morning, noon, evening, and the display before sleeping.
・ 2c and 2d are provided for one week. In this large-sized medicine case 1, if the inner box 2B is pulled out as shown by the arrow, medicine for one week can be quickly put in and taken out at once. Further, in order to take in or take out the medicine for one day or one time, it is possible to pull out the lids 3 of the corresponding days of the week individually as shown by arrows.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned one-day-use one has several same cases because the capacity is insufficient, for example, when a business trip or a trip is required for many days. There was a problem that it was troublesome because it had to be done and it was necessary to identify the day of the day. In addition, since the one for one week is a large one that is integrally molded, for example, when you are on a business trip or a trip for three days or four days, you can carry an unnecessary storage small room and keep it extra empty. There is a problem that this is also inconvenient. The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following medicine case. That is, the present invention is a transparent medicine case capable of taking out the medicine by opening the lid each time the medicine is taken, and a box-shaped main body having a plurality of storage compartments formed by partition walls, Each of the storage compartments can be individually opened / closed, and is composed of a lid integrally formed with the main body, and each lid has a locking means for holding the closed state, and a lid for opening the closed lid. A medicine case, characterized in that it has an operating claw and male and female connecting means which can be connected to other medicine cases of the same type on the front and back sides of the main body, respectively.

[0005]

In the above structure, each lid acts so as to open and close individually for each storage compartment. Further, the locking means of each lid has a function of holding the closed state. Each operating claw acts to open the closed lid. The connecting means of the medicine case body has a function of connecting to another medicine case body of the same type.
