This inner side protrusion 100 is selectively hooked or separated from the latch protrusion B2 formed in the bottle body B on the inlet B1 side shown in Figs. 2A and 2B.

As the desiccant cap 110 is fixed to the inner cap 20 as shown in Figure 1, the moisture-proof material is embedded therein.

Generally, a vial contains a desiccant such as silica gel for removing moisture in an envelope form. Therefore, if you want to take out the medicine, once grabbed the desiccant by hand, take it out of the bottle body, and then there was an inconvenience to put in the bottle body again. At this time, the desiccant may be contaminated by foreign matter or bacteria on the hand because it is held by the hand, and the drugs may be recontaminated by foreign matter or bacteria by the desiccant.

However, in the present invention, since the desiccant cap 110 having a desiccant is fixed to the inner cap 20, the cap is taken out of the bottle body B without being held by the hand when the lid is separated from the bottle body B. Therefore, it is possible to exclude the possibility that the desiccant is contaminated by foreign matter or bacteria on the hand.

The first, second, third, and fourth latch stages 60, 70, 80, 90, and the inner side protrusion 100 are formed along the central axis C to enable injection molding, and the outer cap 10, the inner cap 20 and the date display cap 30 is formed together when injection molding. That is, the outer cap 10, the inner cap 20, the date display cap 30, the first, second, third, fourth latch ends 60, 70, 80, 90 and the inner protrusion 100 Is a structure capable of injection molding.

FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a state in which the medicine bottle cap of FIG. 1 is coupled to the bottle body, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII ′ of FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a VIII-VIII ′ of FIG. 6. 9 is a cross-sectional view along the line IX-IX ′ of FIG. 6.

When the lid is assembled to the outer cap 10, the inner cap 20 and the date display cap 30 is coupled to the bottle body (B) as shown in FIG.

The first catching portion 40 and the second catching portion 50 are coupled as shown in FIG. 7, and the first catching portion is caught between the front end 50a and the rear end 50b of the second catching portion 50. By the portion 40, the rotational movement angle is limited to the outer cap 10 relative to the inner cap 20 when the outer cap 10 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise.

The first latch stage 60 and the second latch stage 70 are coupled as shown in FIG. 8, and rotate the date display cap 30 according to the rotational direction of the outer cap 10. In the present embodiment, when the outer cap 10 is rotated counterclockwise, the second latch stage 70 passes over the first latch stage 60, and when the outer cap 10 is rotated clockwise, The two latch stages 70 rotate the date display cap 30.

The third latch stage 80 and the fourth latch stage 90 are coupled as shown in FIG. 9, and the third latch stage 80 and the fourth latch stage 90 are coupled to each other according to the rotational direction of the date display unit 31 of the date display cap 30. 2 Rotate the inner portion 22.

Next, the operation of the date display cap for medicine bottles as described above.

As shown in Figure 4, by fitting the date display cap 30 to the inside of the outer cap 10, the assembly is completed by inserting the inner cap 20 to the date display cap 30. When the date display cap is coupled to the bottle body (B), the inner side protrusion 100 maintains the state latched on the latch protrusion (B2).

When the user rotates the outer cap 10 in the counterclockwise or counterclockwise direction to take out the medicine stored in the vial, the first catching portion 40 hooked to the second catching portion 50 is the second catching portion 50 The front end (50a) or the rear end (50b) of the selectively selectively rotates with the outer cap 10 to open or close the inlet (B1) of the bottle body (B).

At this time, whenever the outer cap 10 is rotated counterclockwise or clockwise, the first latch stage 60 passes over or rotates the second latch stage 70, and the first and second latch stages 60 are rotated. The third latch stage 80 having an inclined surface opposite to 70 rotates over or rotates the fourth latch stage 90 to rotate the date display cap 30 by date. Accordingly, the date displayed on the display window 11 is automatically changed. That is, when the user opens and closes the medicine bottle date display lid of the present application, the date displayed on the display window 11 is automatically changed.

As such, according to the present invention, when the patient opens and closes the date display lid to take the medicine, the date automatically changed through the display window 11 is displayed. Therefore, the user (patient) can know exactly whether the medicine was taken on a specific date without checking the medication on the calendar or scheduler directly, and accordingly, the medicine can be taken accurately at a predetermined time, thereby obtaining sufficient efficacy of the medicine. Can and appropriate treatment is possible.

In addition, since the display window 11 is located on the side of the outer cap 10, the date can be checked at a relatively long distance from the state where the medicine bottle is erected, so that the medicine can be easily checked. Particularly, people who take the medicine or patients who are uncomfortable with movement can move to the place where the medicine bottle is located, and without having to check the bottle every day, it is possible to check whether or not the medicine is placed.

In addition, the display window 11 is located on the side of the outer cap 11, it is possible to secure a wider space of the display window (11). Therefore, it is easier to check the date of the elderly with poor eyesight, and the font size is larger, so that the date can be checked at a relatively long distance. In particular, the display window 11 is located on the side of the outer cap 11 so that the shape of the display window 11 can also be selected relatively freely.

In addition, the date display unit 31 for displaying the date on the display window 11 is cylindrical, so that there is a large display space. Therefore, the date display 31 can display up to 14 characters (for each day of the morning and dinner) or 21 characters (for each day of the morning, lunch and dinner) so that the medicine is taken only once a day. It is possible to make a date cap not only for people but also for those who take 2-3 times a day. That is, it is possible to manufacture a customized date display lid for consumers with a variety of medicine patterns.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible.
