1 to 4 show an embodiment of a tablet container 1 of the present invention. The tablet storage container is composed of a container body, a disk, and a lid, and these members are molded of synthetic resin material.

In the container body 2, the first peripheral wall 4 is raised from the peripheral edge of a rectangular bottom plate 3 provided in the left-right direction, and
A cylinder 5 is provided in contact with each inner surface of the bottom plate and both left and right wall portions 4a and 4b of the first peripheral wall, and is horizontally provided between the front and rear wall portions 4c and 4d of the first peripheral wall, and the upper and lower portions of the left wall portion 4a are vertically arranged. The first and second tablets for taking out tablets are provided on the intermediate portion in the direction and the cylindrical portion close to the intermediate portion.
The second through holes 6 and 7 are provided by being provided.

On the inner surface of the cylinder 5, a plurality of partition plate tips, which will be described later, are arranged on a circular plate and can be moved forward or counterclockwise in FIG. Department
10 and a second protrusion 11 having a sawtooth-shaped longitudinal section that can be crossed counterclockwise and cannot be crossed in the opposite direction. These first and second protrusions 10 are formed. , 11 contact the front surface of the partition plate tip in the rotation direction and the second projection 13 contact the rear surface of the partition plate tip in the rotation direction, so that the other partition plate tip is made into the second transparent plate. The hole 7 is positioned at the lower edge portion. Further, an engaging projection 12 for locking a coil spring is projected at the center of the top of the outer surface of the cylinder 5.

In the illustrated example, the container body 2 is replaced by the bottom plate 3
Left and right and rear wall portions 4a, 4b, 4d are erected from the outer circumference, and the cylinder 5 is projected forward from the rear wall portion 4d to the front end edges of the left and right wall portions while the outer peripheral surface is in contact with the inner surface of each of these wall portions. Also, the upper and lower end portions of the left and right wall portions 4a, 4b are thickened,
Fitting pin holes (not shown) are provided rearwardly from the four main corners of the front wall portion 4c and the main body portion in which the fitting pin holes 13 are formed in the thick portion, and these pins The left and right walls 4a and 4b, which are fitted in the holes 13, respectively, and the front lid detachably attached to the front ends of the bottom plate 3, are configured to be refillable easily. I am able to do it. Further, in the illustrated example, the first and second protrusions 10 and 11 are brought into contact with a pair of adjacent partition plates. However, even if they are brought into contact with the same partition plate, they are also attached to different partition plates which are not adjacent to each other. You may make it contact.

The disk 15 has a shaft portion from the front and rear portions of its center portion.
15a and 15b are projected outward, a thin portion 15c is formed in the middle portion in the radial direction, and a thick portion 15d is formed in the outer peripheral portion.
A and 15b are rotatably fitted in the cylinder 5 in a state that they are detachably pivoted to both front and rear wall portions 4c and 4d of the first peripheral wall of the container body. On the outer peripheral surface of the circular plate 15, a large number of recesses 17 for enclosing the tablet 16 with the inner surface of the cylinder 5 are formed, and a partition wall projecting outwardly between these recesses 17, 17 is the partition plate. Will be 18. The partition plate 18 has the first and second protrusions 10 and 11 described above.
In order to make it easier to get over, the front surface 18a of the partition plate 18 in the direction of rotation is formed with an inclined surface that becomes thinner toward the tip.

The lid 20 is attached to the outer surface of the upper portion of the container body 2.
The lower half of the second peripheral wall 22 hanging down from the top plate 21 is urged upward by a coil spring 23 so that it can be pushed down, and the first through hole 6 is formed from a part of the lower end of the second peripheral wall via a thin hinge 24. A lid 25 that allows opening and closing and a plate-shaped disc feed 26 that is elastically deformable hangs down from the top plate portion above the second through hole 7. In the disc feeding, the lower end thereof is positioned to the rear surface portion in the rotation direction of the partition plate tip end portion above the partition plate located at the lower end edge portion of the second through hole 7, and from this state to the container body 2. When the lid 20 is pushed down to the lower limit, the tip of the partition plate 18 pushed down by the disc feed 26 is moved to the lower end edge portion of the second through hole 7,
The disc 15 is rotated in the forward direction.

In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the lower end of the disc feed 26, there is a partition plate at the upper edge of the second through hole 7.
A protrusion 26b having a disk-shaped longitudinal section is formed in contact with the rear surface 18b in the direction of rotation of the tip end 18 to push down the partition plate 18.
By doing so, when the lid body 20 is pushed down to the lower limit as shown in FIG.
A new partition plate 18 tip that is fed to the top edge is fed by a disc.
I try not to touch 26. When the lid 20 returns from the lower limit to the upper limit, the protrusion 26a rides over the tip of the partition plate 18 at the upper edge of the second through hole 7, but at this time the disc feed
Since 26 is elastically deformed, the above-mentioned crossover can be easily performed.

An engaging projection 27 is formed at the center of the lower surface of the top plate 21, and the upper end of the coil spring 23 is detachably fitted to the engaging projection. Also, as shown in FIG.
Recesses 28, 28 are vertically provided on the outer surfaces of the front and rear wall portions of the first peripheral wall 4, and the protrusions are formed on the front and rear inner surfaces of the lower half of the second peripheral wall of the lid 20.
30 and 30 are formed respectively, and the protrusions are slidably fitted into the recessed lines 28 and 28, respectively, whereby the upper and lower limit positions of the lid body 20 are regulated, and the lid body 20 serves as the container body. I try not to leave 2. The lower limit position of the lid body 20 is regulated by projecting a pair of stoppers 31, 31 inwardly above the front and rear inner surfaces of the second peripheral wall 22 so that the stoppers 31, 31 are in front and rear wall portions of the first peripheral wall 4. It is also done by locking at the upper end.

The operation of the tablet container 1 will be described below. For the first tablet removal, by removing the palate 25 to open the first through hole 6 and tilting the container body 2 to the left in this state,
The tablet 16 is discharged to the outside of the container body 2 through the second and first through holes 7 and 6. After that, when the palate 25 is fitted into the first through hole 6, the palate becomes an obstacle and the pushing down of the lid 20 is prevented.

In the second and subsequent tablet taking-out steps, the palate 25 is removed, and then the lid body 20 is pushed to the lower limit as shown in FIG. As a result, the disc 15 is rotated in the forward direction via the disc feed 26, and the partition plate 18 located at the upper edge portion of the second through hole 7 is rotated.
Moves to the position of the lower edge portion of the second through hole 7. When the pressing of the lid 20 is released in this state, the lid 20 is urged upward, and thus returns to the upper limit position shown in FIG. When returning,
The projecting portion 26a rides over the tip of the partition plate 18 located at the upper edge portion of the second through hole 7, and the lower end of the disc feed 26 is positioned at the rear surface portion of the tip portion of the partition plate 18 in the rotation direction. Although the partition plate 18 is pushed up when the vehicle gets over this, the circular plate 15 is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction by the second protrusion 11, so that the concave portion 17 accommodating the tablet 16 is moved to the first position as shown in FIG. 1 is maintained at a position facing the through hole 6. When the container body 2 is tilted to the left from this state, tablets
16 is discharged to the outside of the container body 2 through the second and first through holes 7 and 6.

[0017]

The tablet storage container 1 according to claim 1 has the above-described structure, and the disc 15 is rotated by pushing down the lid 20 to form the concave portion 17 for storing the tablet 16 in the first through hole. Since it is arranged to sequentially feed to the position of 6, it is possible to easily take out an appropriate number of tablets 16 by accommodating an appropriate number of tablets 16 in each concave portion 17, and thus it is discharged as extra as in the conventional case. There is no need to return the tablets 16 to the inside of the container body 2, and there is no unsanitary condition. Further, since the tablet is enclosed in the recess 17 that is divided into small parts, it is possible to prevent the tablets 16 from colliding with each other and cracking. Further, the tablet storage container 1
Since it is possible to combine different tablets into each recess 17 and load them as one set, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of taking out tablets from a plurality of tablet storage containers as in the conventional case.

The tablet storage container 1 according to claim 2 has the effect according to claim 1, and at least one of the front and rear wall portions 4c and 4d of the container body first peripheral wall 4 is attached to both left and right wall portions. 4a, 4b, the bottom plate 3, and the disc 15 are formed so as to be detachable, so that when the tablet 16 is replenished, the recess 17 of the disc 15
Can be easily loaded.
