The locking protrusion 200 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first inner cap 121 as shown in FIG. 5. The locking protrusion 200 is selectively hooked or separated from the latch protrusion B2 formed in the bottle body B on the inlet B1 side shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B.

Desiccant cap 210 is to be fixed to the inner cap 120, as shown in Figure 5, 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 210 having the desiccant is fixed to the inner cap 120, 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 160, 170, 180, 190, and the engaging protrusion 200 are formed along the central axis C direction to enable injection molding, and the outer cap 110, the inner cap 120 and the date display unit 130 is formed together when injection molding. That is, the outer cap 110, the inner cap 120, the date display unit 130, the first, second, third, fourth latch ends 160, 170, 180, 190 and the locking projection 200 Injection molding is possible.

FIG. 10 is a view illustrating a state in which the medicine bottle cap of FIG. 5 is coupled to the bottle body, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XI-XI ′ of FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is a XII-XII ′ of FIG. 10. 13 is a cross-sectional view along the line XIII-XIII ′ of FIG. 10.

The first latch stage 160 and the second latch stage 170 are coupled as shown in FIG. 12, and rotate the date display unit 130 according to the rotation direction of the outer cap 110. In the present embodiment, when the outer cap 110 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the first latch stage 160 passes over the second latch stage 170, and when the outer cap 110 is rotated in the clockwise direction, The first latch stage 160 rotates the fitting protrusion 132 to eventually rotate the date display unit 130.

In addition, the third latch stage 180 and the fourth latch stage 190 are coupled as shown in FIG. 13, and according to the rotation direction of the rotation display stage 131 of the date display unit 130 of the inner cap 120. The second inner cap portion 122 is rotated.

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

Assembling is completed by inserting the date display unit 130 on the inside of the outer cap 110, and by inserting the inner cap 120 on the date display unit 130. When the date display cap is coupled to the bottle body (B), the locking projection 200 is kept in the latched projection (B2).

When the user rotates the outer cap 110 in the forward or reverse direction in order to take out the medicine stored in the vial, the first locking portion 140 is hooked to the second locking portion 150, the second locking as shown in FIG. The front end 150a or the rear end 150b of the unit 150 is selectively in contact with the outer cap 110 to rotate while opening or closing the inlet (B1) of the bottle (B).

At this time, whenever the outer cap 110 is rotated counterclockwise or clockwise, the first latch stage 160 rides over or rotates the second latch stage 170, and also the first and second latch stages 160. The third latch stage 180 having the inclined surface opposite to 170 is rotated over or rotated through the fourth latch stage 190 to rotate the date display unit 130 by date. Accordingly, the date displayed on the display window 111 is automatically changed. That is, when the user opens and closes the medicine bottle date display cap of the present application, the date displayed on the display window 111 is automatically changed.

As described above, in the second embodiment of the date display cap for the medicine bottle, since the display window 111 is located on the side of the outer cap 110, the date can be checked at a relatively long distance from the state where the medicine bottle is standing, and thus whether or not the medicine is taken. It's easy to see. In particular, people who take medications or patients with uncomfortable movements can move to the place where the bottle is located, without the trouble of having to check the bottle for a day, and just take a look at the place where the bottle is placed.

In addition, the display window 111 is positioned on the side of the outer cap 110 to secure a wider space of the display window 111. 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, since the display window 111 is positioned on the side of the outer cap 110, the shape of the display window 111 may also be relatively freely selected.

In addition, the rotation display end 131 for displaying the date on the display window 111 is cylindrical, and there is a large display space. Therefore, up to 14 letters (for morning and evening taking each day) or 21 letters (for morning, lunch and evening taking each day) can be displayed on the rotating display unit 131. It is possible to make a date cap not only for those who do it, but also for those who take it 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.

As described above, according to the first and second embodiments of the date cap for the medicine bottle 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 windows

11 and 111. Is displayed. Therefore, the user (patient) can know exactly whether he or she took the medicine on a specific date without checking the facts on the calendar or scheduler, and thus can take the medicine accurately at a predetermined time, thereby obtaining sufficient efficacy of the medicine. Can and appropriate treatment is possible.

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