Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of household tablet presses for compression molding tablets from powdery or granular materials.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for molding a tablet, for example, a dry tableting type in which a material is compression-molded at a die, an upper punch and a lower punch is known. This conventional tablet forming means is a tablet forming device that includes a die part in which a forming cylinder is formed to pass through in the up-down direction, and an upper punch part and a lower punch part that are respectively inserted into the forming tube of the die part from the up-down direction. Using a device, powdery or granular material is compression-molded into tablets by pressing the upper and lower punches inside the molding cylinder of the die. In this conventional means for forming a tablet, a binder, a lubricant, etc. are mixed with the material, and a pressure driving unit for applying a high pressure is connected to the upper and lower punches of the tablet forming apparatus. By doing so, the particle bond of the tablet is strengthened to improve the shape retention. The pressurizing drive unit provided in the tablet forming apparatus is also configured to discharge the tablet from the inside of the die forming cylinder by elevating and lowering the upper and lower punches. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned means for molding a tablet has a problem that it is large and unsuitable for molding and using the tablet in a general household. In recent years, many kinds of powdery and granular materials containing vitamins, minerals and the like have been provided as foods (processed foods), not as drugs, and have been widely ingested by the general public. Then, regarding these materials, the ingestor considers the taste, the component, etc., and mixes a plurality of kinds by himself / herself. In addition, so-called powdery or granular so-called powdered medicines prescribed by doctors and the like have been wrapped in wafers and taken. When a plurality of types of powdered medicines have to be taken simultaneously, a plurality of types of powdered medicines are wrapped in one wafer. For this reason, there is a social background that there is a demand for the development of means for easily forming powdery or granular materials into tablets in view of ease of ingestion (dosing) and portability.

The object of the present invention is to easily produce powder in a general household.
It is to provide a simple and compact tabletop type and handy type tablet press for household use, which is capable of compression molding tablets from granular materials.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is to provide a substrate that can be installed on a table, a die portion that is formed on the substrate and has a forming cylinder hole formed through in the up-down direction, and a lower portion of the forming cylinder hole of the mortar part. A lower punch part inserted from, a lever bar supported by a base plate or a mortar part and moving the lower punch part upward, a pressing handle rotatably connected to the base plate, and attached to the pressing handle, This is achieved by providing the forming cylinder hole of the die part with the upper punch part that is inserted and removed from above by the rotation of the pressing handle. The above-mentioned object is to provide a pair of rotatably cross-coupled pressing handles, a die portion provided at the tip of one of the pressing handles and having a forming cylindrical hole formed therethrough, and the other pressing portion of the forming cylindrical hole of the mortar portion. A movable punch part that is inserted into the opposite side of the handle with a retaining fit, a spring material that elastically biases the movable punch part in the direction opposite to the other pressing handle, and both pressing handles fixed to the tip of the other pressing handle. This is achieved by providing a fixed punch part that is inserted into and removed from the forming cylinder hole of the die part by rotating.

[Description of Operation] In the embodiment configured in this manner, as in the case of the above-described embodiment (1), the structure is simplified and downsized without a complicated mechanism. Therefore, it can be manufactured inexpensively and easily, and is convenient for handling, storage and storage. To use this embodiment, first, the rear portion 11 of the push handles 11, 12 is
By holding one or both of b and 12b, the tip portion 11a of the one pressing handle 11 provided with the die portion 13 is set to the lower side. Then, the molding cylinder 13b of the die part 13 in which the lower end is closed by the pressure receiving plate 14b of the movable punch part 14
Fill the inside of the container with powdery or granular material and press the handle 1
The rear parts 11b and 12b of the first and the second parts 12 and 12 are squeezed and brought close to each other.
When the rear portions 11b and 12b of the pressing handles 11 and 12 are brought close to each other, the tip portions 1a and 12a of the pressing handles 11 and 12 are pivotally brought close to each other, and the main body portion 16b of the fixed punch 16 is brought into the molding cylinder 13b of the die portion 13. Insert from above and pressurize the material. As a result, the tablet is compression-molded inside the molding cylinder hole 13b of the die portion 13. After the tablet is compression molded, the rear portions 11b, 12 of the pressing handles 11, 12 are
Release the grip on b. The rear portions 11b and 12b of the pressing handles 11 and 12 whose gripping has been released are rotated and separated by the elastic force of the spring member 18. As a result, the upper part of the molding cylinder hole 13bc of the die portion 13 containing the tablet is opened. Then, the movable punch 14 is pushed against the spring material 15.
When the spring receiving plate 14c is pressed with a finger, the pressure receiving plate 14b of the movable punch portion 14 rises, and the tablet is extruded from the inside of the molding cylinder hole 13b of the die portion 13 and collected. As described above, in addition to the illustrated Embodiments 1 and 2, it is also possible to wrap the material in a molding auxiliary film such as a wafer and press the material.
