Description

CONTENEDOR Y DOSIFICADOR DE GRAGEAS Dragee container and dispenser
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo contenedor y dosificador de grageas.The present invention relates to a dragee container and dosing device.
Como indica el enunciado, se trata de un dispositivo para contener y proteger una cierta cantidad de grageas, pastillas y similares, asegurando su conservación y facilitando su consumo en los momentos deseados.As indicated in the statement, it is a device to contain and protect a certain amount of dragees, pills and the like, ensuring its conservation and facilitating its consumption at the desired times.
El nuevo dispositivo comprende un mecanismo de apertura y cierre que permite la salida gradual y a voluntad de las grageas y es de fácil y seguro accionamiento, incluso con una sola mano.The new device comprises an opening and closing mechanism that allows the gradual and at will output of the dragees and is easy and safe to operate, even with only one hand.
El contenedor y dosificador se construye ventajosamente de un tamaño adecuado para ser llevado en un bolsillo o bolso y utilizado en cualquier momento que se desee.The container and dispenser is advantageously constructed of a suitable size to be carried in a pocket or bag and used at any time desired.
El nuevo contenedor y dosificador consta de dos partes principales: una caja-carcasa que aloja y protege las grageas hasta la expulsión controlada de éstas, y una pieza asociada y de cierre de la parte anterior que presenta medios de apertura para la salida de las grageas.The new container and dispenser consists of two main parts: a case-housing that houses and protects the dragees until their controlled expulsion, and an associated and closing part of the front part that presents opening means for the exit of the dragees .
Para facilitar la explicación, se acompaña la presente descripción de unos dibujos en los que se ha representado, a titulo de ejemplo ilustrativo y no limitativo, un caso de realización de un contenedor y dosificador de grageas, según los principios de las reivindicaciones.To facilitate the explanation, the present description is accompanied by drawings in which, by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, a case of realization of a dragee container and dispenser, according to the principles of the claims, has been represented.
En los dibujos: La figura 1 es una vista en perspectiva de la caja- carcasa del contenedor.In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the container housing-box.
La figura 2 muestra la pieza de apertura y cierre para la salida de las grageas vista lateralmente, y las figuras 3 y 3bis son sendas vistas en perspectiva de la propia pieza funcional.Figure 2 shows the opening and closing part for the exit of the dragees seen laterally, and Figures 3 and 3bis are perspective views of the functional piece itself.
Las figuras 4, 5 y 6 muestran, asimismo en perspectiva, el contenedor completo en tres posiciones de la pieza funcional de apertura y cierre que permite la salida de las grageas.Figures 4, 5 and 6 also show, in perspective, the complete container in three positions of the functional opening and closing piece that allows the dragees to exit.
Los elementos designados con números en los dibujos corresponden a las partes indicadas a continuación.The elements designated with numbers in the drawings correspond to the parts indicated below.
La caja-carcasa 1 es un cilindro o prisma aplanado, y con una parte lateral 2 abierta para recibir la pieza funcional 3.The housing-case 1 is a flattened cylinder or prism, and with a side part 2 open to receive the functional part 3.
La pieza 3 presenta una zona exterior 4 rectangular alargada, que en un extremo posee una pestaña saliente 5, cuya opresión, de preferencia mediante el pulgar de una mano, determina la apertura del contenedor. El otro extremo de la zona 4 define una uña curvilínea 6 que se conjuga de un entrante 7 de la caja-carcasa 1.The piece 3 has an elongated rectangular outer area 4, which at one end has a protruding flange 5, whose oppression, preferably by means of the thumb of one hand, determines the opening of the container. The other end of zone 4 defines a curvilinear nail 6 that is conjugated to a recess 7 of the housing-case 1.
La pieza 3 presenta internamente un saliente en forma de prisma triangular 8 que posee una cara lateral interna 9 y una cara lateral externa 10. Ambas poseen sendas perforaciones 11 y 12, definiendo conjuntamente parte de un camino de salida para las grageas, designado con el número La pieza 3 presenta igualmente una extensión interna 13 que posee unos tetones 14 en funciones de ejes de articulación que se alojan en sendos entrantes de la caja 1.The piece 3 internally has a triangular prism-shaped projection 8 which has an internal lateral face 9 and an external lateral face 10. Both have perforations 11 and 12, jointly defining part of an exit path for the dragees, designated with the number The piece 3 also has an internal extension 13 that has studs 14 in function of articulation axes that are housed in two separate entrances of the box 1.
Asimismo deriva de la pieza 3 una parte rectilínea 16 sensiblemente paralela a la parte externa 4 y formante lateralmente de una solapa triangular 17 y de una extensión curvilínea 18, cuyo extremo permanece contiguo a una cara lateral e interna 21 de la caja-carcasa 1.Likewise, a rectilinear part 16 substantially parallel to the external part 4 and laterally formed of a triangular flap 17 and a curvilinear extension 18 derives from the part 3, the end of which remains contiguous to a lateral and internal face 21 of the housing-case 1.
La zona 22 relaciona las partes 3 y 16, y permite la articulación de dichas partes a modo de bisagra.Zone 22 relates parts 3 and 16, and allows the articulation of said parts as a hinge.
La extensión 18 presenta la perforación 19 que, en la posición de cierre de la figura 4, queda en prolongación de la perforación 20, pero las grageas contenidas en la caja 1 están bloqueadas por la zona inferior 23 de la parte lateral 21.The extension 18 presents the perforation 19 which, in the closed position of Figure 4, is in prolongation of the perforation 20, but the dragees contained in the box 1 are blocked by the lower zone 23 of the lateral part 21.
El examen de las figuras 4, 5 y 6 permite comprender el funcionamiento de la parte obturadora y liberadora de las grageas contenidas inicialmente en la caja-carcasa 1.The examination of figures 4, 5 and 6 makes it possible to understand the operation of the sealing and releasing part of the dragees initially contained in the housing-case 1.
En la posición de cierre (figura 4) las grageas pueden circular a través de los pasos 19 y 20 , pero quedan bloqueadas en la zona inferior 23 de la cara 21 de la caja.In the closed position (figure 4) the dragees can circulate through steps 19 and 20, but they are locked in the lower area 23 of the face 21 of the case.
Las propiedades de flexibilidad y elasticidad del material plástico con el que se construye la pieza 3 y sus derivaciones, asi como la forma de éstas, le permiten adoptar la posición semiabierta de la figura 5. Ésta deriva de la aplicación de una fuerza de compresión contra la parte extrema de la zona 4, concretamente la pestaña 5 de la misma. La parte interna 22 actúa de bisagra y permite la basculación de la pieza 3 en torno a los tetones 14. El apéndice 8 obtura el paso 19 del saliente 18.The properties of flexibility and elasticity of the plastic material with which the piece 3 is constructed and its derivations, as well as the shape of these, allow it to adopt the semi-open position of Figure 5. This derives from the application of a compression force against the extreme part of zone 4, specifically tab 5 thereof. The inner part 22 acts as a hinge and allows tilting of part 3 around the studs 14. Appendix 8 seals step 19 of the shoulder 18.
La extensión 15 hace tope con el extremo 24 de la parte rectilínea 16 y éste, a su vez, con el saliente 25 interior de la caja 1. La pieza 3 se aparta angularmente de la parte abierta 2 de la caja 1 y la abertura 12 deviene gradualmente al descubierto. La/s gragea/s que ocupaba/n el paso 20 deslizan por el plano inclinado inferior del mismo y, en la posición de la figura 6, tienen libre salida al exterior.The extension 15 abuts the end 24 of the rectilinear part 16 and this, in turn, with the inner projection 25 of the box 1. The piece 3 angularly moves away from the open part 2 of the box 1 and the opening 12 gradually becomes exposed. The dragee / s occupying step 20 slide along the lower inclined plane thereof and, in the position of Figure 6, have free exit to the outside.
El diseño y el dimensionado de las distintas partes del contenedor descrito aseguran que, prácticamente en todos los casos, sólo una gragea tiene salida por cada movimiento del dispositivo móvil (opresión simple de la pestaña 5) . The design and dimensioning of the different parts of the described container ensure that, in almost all cases, only one dragee has an outlet for each movement of the mobile device (simple oppression of tab 5).
