Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for arranging an arbitrary number of depressions at a tip portion thereof, each of the depressions being fitted with a pill tablet or the like, and inserting the pill tablet into a container. The present invention relates to a spoon that can be easily taken out of the same number of pill tablets as the number of pills, and in particular, other pill tablets and the like do not dissipate outside the container and can be taken hygienically without touching the fingertips or palms.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a case in which a small pill is attached so that an unspecified amount can be subdivided each time a pill is poured from a container, but it can be counted simultaneously when the pill is used. No measures have been taken to prevent them from scattering around, and other people are generally left without appropriate measures.

[0003]

However, in the above technique and condition, (a) especially when taking pills, a relatively large number of doses should be taken at one time, especially when the pills are attached to a container. Even if you try to do so because the number is indicated, it is difficult to count the number of pills that have come out of the container because they roll well, and it is often too complicated. (B) As a result, there is no method that teaches an appropriate method to cope with the fact that the irrationality that the number specified in the usage does not match the number actually taken is likely to occur. (C) When taken out of the container, pill tablets and the like roll easily and are easily dissipated, and spilled particles are easily picked up, but dust and dirt on fingers are easily attached during that time, which is not hygienic. The present invention aims to eliminate these disadvantages.

[0004]

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, an arbitrary number of holes are formed in one end portion of a top plate A, and a bottom plate B is attached to the top plate. The hole becomes a depression C, and the tip part thus made is inserted into the pill tablet in the container tilted slightly sideways with one hand and slightly moved so as to lift up, the depression C becomes one depression C Since one grain of the pill tablet fits, if you pull it out, only the same number of grains as the total number of dents C can be scooped out of the container, and the other grains stay in the container and do not dissipate,
It is a spoon that can easily perform the clean operation desired for taking a drug to be taken orally.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
The configuration of the present invention will be described together with its operation. As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the spoon is a flat rectangular shape, and a top plate A made of a soft material and a bottom plate B made of a hard material which are easy to work are overlapped and bonded as shown in FIG.

In particular, for the material of the front plate A, a plastic product considered to be a styrofoam type was used for the trial production.

[0007] Regarding the thickness of the top plate A, in the case of pills,
In order to obtain a suitable depth for the grain to be easily settled and to prevent the intrusion of other grains in the dent to be shaped, as shown in FIG. 4, it corresponds to a length of about 80% of the diameter of the grain. The material was selected or adjusted so as to have a desired thickness.

[0008] Regarding the thickness of the front plate A, in the case of a tablet,
In order to obtain a depth that is easy to settle in the dent to be shaped and settled down and to prevent the intrusion of other grains, a length of about 80% of the maximum thickness of the grains as shown in FIG. The material was selected or adjusted to have a thickness corresponding to.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, an arbitrary number of holes having a diameter large enough for a pill tablet or the like are formed through one end portion of the front plate A to form a recess C. Prepare for formation. The tip portion refers to the portion to be inserted into the container, and as close as possible to the bottom of the container so that even if the contents of the drug particles gradually decrease with the number of doses, the remaining particles are still easy to roll into the dent C. Plan the location of the dent C at a certain position,

[0010] In consideration of the number of doses per dose, for example, three, five, or ten holes are preferably formed in related positions which are easy to count, but are limited as described above. Not something.

The bottom plate B is bonded to the back surface of the front plate A. As a result, a depression C is formed, and the entire spoon has a firmness.

Accordingly, the front plate A is reinforced by the bottom plate B, and at the same time, all the holes are closed at the bottoms to form depressions C, which act as a spoon for the same number of pill tablet grains as the depressions C.

Regarding the outer dimensions of such a spoon, the width is smaller than the diameter of the mouth of the container, and the length is preferably longer than the depth of the container, if possible, so that it is easy to hold and easily scoop out the grains in the container. I do.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the same effect can be expected when the above-described recess C is provided by using an integral material having no distinction between the top plate A and the bottom plate B as shown in FIG.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In order to use a spoon provided with a large number of dents C to limit one or a small number to a single spoon, For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a spoon is covered with an outer cylinder F so as to surround it loosely in a band-like manner, and this can be slid over an unnecessary dent C to temporarily cover it. is there.

FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
For one bottom plate B, a front plate A having a large number of holes is attached to one surface, and a different number is attached to the other surface,
For example, it is a so-called double-sided spoon in which a front plate A having one hole is attached and a recess C is provided on each surface. There is a great advantage that it is possible to easily use two ways simply by holding the surface to be used upward.

Also, the size of the depression C is different on both sides of such a double-sided spoon, for example, one side has a size adapted to a certain small pill, while the other side has a different size. Even when both dimensions are different, such as being larger to accommodate a tablet, the advantage of being able to easily use them in two different ways is the same.

With respect to the color of the front plate A, a color that is not similar to the color of the target medicine particle but is contrasting may make it easier to see the state during use.

As described above, the present invention has focused on a counting spoon for pill tablets from the beginning, and the embodiments have been concentrated on that point. However, the scope to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the field of pill tablets, and is applicable to any other granular material having a shape similar to a pill tablet as shown in each of the drawings from FIG. The same effect can be expected.

[0020]

According to the present invention, only an arbitrary number of medicine particles in a container are separated and scooped in the container, and the number of particles taken out in this way can be seen at a glance. It is not only safe to take, it is easy to prevent dissipation, it is also clean and sanitary because it does not have to be picked with fingers and there is less fear of dirt being attached. In addition, when giving to an infant, for example, the fun of seeing the number is given, so that it can be expected to take it happily.
