Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment designed to prepare for use over the next day an individual set of solid dosage forms, and is aimed at more efficient, safe, convenient use and carrying of medicines not only at home. This useful model is especially relevant for children, the elderly and busy people who are able to forget whether they took the tablet at a certain time or not, and is a plastic case equipped with a timer with an alarm.

A pill box with compartment covers attached by flexible hinges to the side outer wall of the casing is known from the prior art, which makes it possible to make a pill box in one piece by injection molding, which greatly simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the cost of the pill box as a whole without reducing its consumer qualities (patent for Utility Model of the Russian Federation No. 977630, IPC A61J 1/00, 2010)

The disadvantage of this pill box is the practical uselessness for forgetful people, the insecurity of the tablets from contact with each other, the fragility of the lid and body connections at the bend points.

Also known from the prior art is a tablet box — a pencil case for tablets, containing a box-shaped case divided by partitions to form tablet compartments that are equipped with hinged lids (Utility Model Patent of the Russian Federation No. 115656, IPC A61J 1/03, 2012). To ensure the correct distribution of the daily set of tablets in the compartments and reliable adherence to the regimen of their administration, the caps on the caps are marked in the form of the inscriptions "morning"; "day"; "evening"; "night". The disadvantage of this pill box is its inefficiency for people with poor memory, as well as lack of readability for many, especially the elderly.

The task to which the creation of the proposed utility model is aimed is to create a more convenient, reliable to use, without sharp corners pillboxes from a durable safe light-proof material that could be used not only at home, but also taken with you. The proposed option is very convenient in cases where the daily kit of medications is very diverse, their intake is not limited to only three times a day, but an hourly intake is required. In addition, it eliminates the need for the user to remember about the time of taking medications, and about which drug should be taken at a certain time. Also, the proposed option eliminates the likelihood of taking the drug at an unspecified time, i.e. avoids mistakes when taking medicines, which is a guarantee of their safe use.

The proposed pill box, filled with the necessary tablets (capsules, dragees, etc.) from the evening, at the beginning of the day or in the morning, can be safely entrusted even to children (of course, not the smallest), as well as elderly people and partially capable people. For business and very busy people, the proposed option is simply irreplaceable.

The technical result of the claimed device is the exceptional reliability of the pill box, which allows you to absolutely accurately observe the regimen of taking medications, eliminating errors in their administration and not requiring the user to constantly remember the need to take this or that drug.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the built-in timer with an alarm, working on the principle of an alarm clock, reminding the user to take a certain drug from a certain department, corresponding to a certain time of day.

The proposed pill box-alarm clock is a pencil case where the daily dose of necessary medications will be placed.

Inside, the pencil case is divided by two internal longitudinal partitions, forming three longitudinal cavities, the extreme of which are symmetrically divided into 12 compartments each, for the distribution of tablets in accordance with the daily intake regimen. Each compartment corresponds to a specific hour and is equipped with a hinged lid. On the lids of the offices are inscribed: 01, 02, 03, ..., 12, 13, ..., 23, 24, i.e. by the number of hours in a day. For blind and visually impaired people, the numbers are in Braille.

The lids of the tablet compartments are hinged to the upper ribs of the inner walls of the alarm box case. On the lids on the side opposite the inner longitudinal partitions, there is a small visor under the finger for ease of opening the lids. To prevent accidental opening of the cover, there is a latch for the closed position. For the convenience of extracting drugs from the compartments, the side opposite the inner longitudinal partitions is made in the form of an inclined surface.

The middle cavity may be slightly wider than the extreme. It contains a display indicating the real time, and buttons for setting it (H - hours and M - minutes). There, next to each compartment, there are indicator buttons in the amount of 24 pieces (according to the number of compartments for medicines), which are used:

- when programming the time of taking the drug,

- to turn off the sound signal,

- as a pointer to the department from which the drug must be taken.

A timer with an alarm is located inside the middle cavity.

Indicators are built into the button. The use of LEDs is possible as indicators.

To prevent accidental pressing of a button, a button lock slider is integrated in the side of the case, similar to a mobile phone.

In the accompanying drawings (Fig. 1 is a top view and Fig. 2 is a side view), the alarm box is shown.

The alarm clock is a case 1. Inside the case is divided by two internal longitudinal partitions 2, forming three longitudinal cavities, the extreme of which are symmetrically divided into twelve compartments 3 each. Each compartment corresponds to a specific hour and is equipped with a hinged lid 4 (for blind and visually impaired people, the numbers are in Braille, Braille is shown only on the lid of the compartment corresponding to the hour “01”). The covers of the tablet compartments are hinged 5 to the upper ribs of the inner walls of the tablet case. On the covers on the side opposite the inner longitudinal partitions, there is a small visor for the finger 6. Under each cover there is a lock for the closed position 7. For the convenience of extracting drugs from the compartments, side 8 is made in the form of an inclined surface.

On the middle cavity there is a display 9, buttons for setting real time 10 - hours, 11 - minutes, as well as indicator buttons 12. A timer with an alarm is located inside the middle cavity (not shown in the drawing).

A button lock slider 13 is integrated in the side of the case.

A timer integrated in the middle cavity is programmed to sound at the right time. The timer runs on battery or battery (not shown in the drawing), with the possibility of recharging. The real time is set on the timer, after which, by pressing the button corresponding to the desired time, the reminder time is set separately for each department, where the medicine necessary for taking is laid. Near each programmed compartment, an indicator lights up on the button, which indicates that the timer is programmed for this particular time. By the luminous indicators, you can, without opening the lids of the compartments, monitor for what time the medication is programmed during the day.

At the set time, the timer will sound an alarm, at the same time the indicator of that department (which is especially important for people with impaired vision, partially capable people, as well as children) will start blinking, from which it is necessary to take the medicine. To turn off the signal, you need to press the indicator button, after which it will go out. If within one minute the signal has not been turned off, the repeated signal will sound after 5 minutes.

The alarm clock box is made of safe, chemically resistant, shockproof, bactericidal, easily washable plastic, approved for use in medical devices.

It should be obvious to a specialist in this field that various modifications of the appearance of the structure itself, the number of buttons and their functional purpose, which in no way change the essence of the utility model and do not affect the usability of it, are possible in a real utility model.

Accordingly, it is assumed that the present utility model covers the indicated modifications, their changes, as well as their equivalents, without departing from the essence and scope of the utility model disclosed in the attached utility model formula.
