Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a safety container used to contain medicines, etc. More specifically, the present invention relates to a safety container used to store medicines, etc. This relates to a safety container that prevents the contents from being taken out accidentally.

Conventionally, as a container for storing pharmaceuticals, etc., a box-shaped inner box is slidably inserted into a lid body with a U-shaped cross section or a mouth-shaped cross section from an opening on one side, and when the container is used, the inner box is A device is known in which the inner box is pulled out from the lid by applying force from the opposite side of the lid in a direction toward the opening.

However, in this type of container, simply applying a force to the inner box from the other side toward the opening on one side,
If the inner box is configured so that it can be easily pulled out from the lid, an unwise child or the like may pull the inner box out of the lid and take out the contents of the medicine etc. 1 stored inside. There is a risk of putting it in your mouth.

For this reason, when used as a container for storing pharmaceuticals, etc., simply applying force to the inner box from the other side of the lid in the direction of the opening on one side, which is opposite to this, prevents the inner box from being pulled out. It is desirable to have a safety container that prevents the contents from being accidentally removed.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to securely fit and lock the inner box to the lid body when not in use, so that infants, etc., cannot open the inner box. The inner box can be easily pulled out from the lid to prevent the contents stored inside from being taken out, and when in use, the inner box can be pulled out from the lid with a relatively simple operation, making it ideal for storing pharmaceuticals, etc. To provide a safety container which has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost.

The safety container according to the present invention consists of an inner box with an open top and a lid that fits into the inner box, and either the inner wall of the inner box or the outer wall of the lid has a lower part. A vertical groove with a deep taper shape at the top is provided, a horizontal groove is provided in communication with the upper end of the groove, and an engaging protrusion that moves within each groove is provided on the other side of the groove. be.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the attached FIGS. 1 to 3.

In these figures, 1 is a box-shaped lid with an open bottom, and 2 is an inner box with an open top into which the lid 1 fits.

Retaining protrusions 3, 3 are protrudingly provided at the lower part of the inner side wall in the width direction of the lid body 1, and the engaging protrusions 3 are provided on both side walls of the inner box 2.
vertical grooves 4, 4 are provided that move only in the vertical direction, the travel guide 4 has a tapered shape with a deep bottom and a shallow top, a protrusion 5 is provided on the upper end thereof, and one end is provided at the upper end of the vertical groove 4. A lateral groove 6 is provided in communication with which the engaging protrusion 3 moves only in the lateral direction,
The other end of the travel guide 6 is open to the end of the side wall of the inner box 2.

Further, the length in the vertical direction of the side wall of the lid body 1 without the engaging protrusion 3 is formed to be shorter than the length of the vertical groove 4.

The other end of the horizontal groove 6 that does not communicate with the vertical groove 4 is
The vertical groove 4 can be provided in a T-shape with respect to the horizontal groove 6 so that the lid 1 can be provided at an appropriate position without being opened so that it cannot be removed, and the lid 1 can be opened in both left and right directions. You can also do that.

In the safety container having the above configuration, when opening the lid 1, by moving the lid 1 upward, the engaging protrusion 3 located at the lower part of the vertical groove 4 of the inner box 2 in the closed state
move upward.

In this case, an appropriate push-up blade is required to raise the engaging protrusion 3 protruding from the lid 1 in the vertical groove 4, which is tapered deep at the bottom and shallow at the top, to the position of the horizontal groove 6, and This is done by elastically deforming both side walls of the lid body 1.

Then, the engaging protrusion 3 is positioned in the horizontal groove 6 provided in the inner box 2,
By moving the lid 1 in the lateral direction, the engaging projections 3 provided on the lid 1 are moved along the lateral grooves 6, and the lid 1 is opened from the inner box 2.

Furthermore, when closing the lid 1, the operation described above may be reversed.

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the vertical grooves, the horizontal grooves, and the engaging protrusions that fit into the respective grooves, the lid body can be moved upward once and then further moved laterally. Since the lid is opened in such a way that a child or the like cannot easily open the lid and take out the contents stored inside,
Since the vertical groove has a taper that is deep at the bottom and shallow at the top, an appropriate pushing force is required, which prevents children and others from opening the lid by force, and also prevents the vertical groove, horizontal groove, and engagement protrusion. Since the structure is simple since only the child is provided, it has excellent effects such as being able to be manufactured at low cost.
