Description

携帯用薬ケースPortable medicine case
 本発明は、薬を服用する時に都度蓋を開けて小箱の中の薬を取り出すことができる携帯用薬ケースに関する。 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable medicine case which can be opened whenever taking medicine, and the medicine in the small box can be taken out.
 医師から投与された薬剤は、指定された時間や日毎に指定された量を服用する必要がある。通常の市販の薬剤も同様である。しかしながら、服用すべき薬剤の回数やその種類が多い場合には、服用し忘れたり、量を間違えたりすることがあり、このことは、患者の身体にとって好ましくないことは明らかである。これを防止するために、従来様々な薬ケースが提案されている。 Drugs given by a doctor need to be taken at specified times or daily. The same is true for conventional commercial drugs. However, if the number of medicines to be taken and the number of medicines to be taken are large, they may be forgotten or may be misled, which is obviously not preferable for the patient's body. In order to prevent this, various medicine cases have been proposed.
 特許文献1には、処方された薬を朝、昼、夜の3つの薬収容部に分けて収容し、薬の服用時に外蓋を開いた後2つの内蓋を横にスライドさせ、該当する服用タイミングの薬収容部の中から所定量の薬を取り出した後外蓋を閉め、内蓋の突起部が入っていない外蓋の貫通孔の位置から直前に薬を取り出した薬収容部を知ることで薬の服用状態を管理することが記載されている。また、特許文献2には、例えば、3日間の出張又は旅行の場合に4つの収納小室を有する薬ケースを3つ接続し、各収納小室に1回の服用分の薬を収納し、空になった収納小室の位置で薬の服用状態を管理することが記載されている。 In Patent Document 1, the prescribed medicine is divided into three medicine containers for morning, day and night, and the outer lid is opened at the time of taking the medicine, and then the two inner lids are slid sideways, After taking out a prescribed amount of medicine from the medicine container at the timing of dosing, close the outer lid and know the medicine container which has just taken the medicine from the position of the through hole of the outer lid without the projection of the inner lid It is described to manage the taking condition of the medicine. Further, in Patent Document 2, for example, in the case of business trip or travel for three days, three medicine cases having four storage compartments are connected, one potion of medicine is stored in each storage compartment, and the sky is empty. It has been described to manage the drug taking state at the position of the storage compartment.

 特許文献1の薬箱では、昼の薬を飲むときは、昼の薬収容部の位置の内蓋を朝の薬収容部の位置にスライドさせて昼の薬収容部から薬を取り出し、夜の薬を飲むときは、夜の薬収容部の位置の内蓋を昼の薬収容部の位置にスライドさせて夜の薬収容部から薬を取り出す。即ち、昼と夜の薬を飲むときは、スライドさせる内蓋は、それぞれ1つである。これに対して、朝の薬を飲むときは、昼の薬収容部の位置の内蓋を夜の薬収容部の位置にスライドさせ、次に、朝の薬収容部の位置の内蓋を昼の薬収容部の位置にスライドさせて朝の薬収容部から薬を取り出す。即ち、朝の薬を飲むときにスライドさせる内蓋は、2つなので、薬収容部から薬を取り出す手間が2倍掛かる。また、朝、昼、夜だけでなく、寝る前の薬収容部を増設した場合には、朝の薬を飲むときにスライドさせる内蓋は、3つになるので、薬収容部から薬を取り出す手間が3倍掛かることになる。このように、特許文献1の薬箱は、朝の薬を取り出すときに余計な手間が掛かるという問題があった。 In the medicine box of Patent Document 1, when taking a daytime medicine, slide the inner lid at the daytime medicine container position to the position of the morning medicine container and take out the medicine from the daytime medicine container at night When taking a medicine, slide the inner lid at the position of the medicine container at night into the position of the medicine container at noon, and take out the medicine from the medicine container at night. That is, when taking medicine for day and night, the inner lid to be slid is one each. On the other hand, when taking a morning medicine, slide the inner lid at the position of the medicine container at noon to the position of the medicine container at night, and then, at the day, place the inner lid at the position of the medicine container for morning Slide it to the position of the medicine container and take out the medicine from the morning medicine container. That is, since two inner lids are slid when taking a medicine in the morning, it takes twice as much time and effort to take out the medicine from the medicine container. In addition, when the medicine container before sleeping is extended as well as in the morning, noon and night, there are three inner lids to be slid when taking morning medicine, so take out the medicine from the medicine container It takes 3 times more time and effort. Thus, the medicine box of Patent Document 1 has a problem that extra time is required when taking out the morning medicine.
 また、特許文献1の薬箱は、内蓋及び外蓋の二重の蓋を有するので小箱が大きくなり、手軽に携帯できないという問題があった。さらに、特許文献1の薬箱は、例えば、薬の残数確認などの理由で内蓋を横にずらした後に内蓋を元の位置に戻し忘れると、直前に薬を取り出した薬収容部を正しく示すことができなくなるので、薬を飲み忘れる恐れがあるという問題があった。 Moreover, since the medicine case of patent document 1 has a double lid of an inner lid and an outer lid, a small box becomes large and there existed a problem that it could not carry easily. Furthermore, the medicine container of Patent Document 1 for example, when the inner lid is shifted sideways for reasons such as checking the remaining number of drugs etc. and the inner lid is forgotten to return to the original position, the drug storage portion from which the drug was taken out immediately before There is a problem that you may forget to take the medicine because you can not show it correctly.
 また、特許文献2の薬ケースは、出張又は旅行の時に持ち運ぶ荷物をできる限りコンパクトにするために、4つの収納小室を有する薬ケースを3つ接続せずに1つ使用し、各収納小室に1回の服用分ではなく出張又は旅行の日数分の薬をまとめて収納することができる。しかしながら、その場合には、各収納小室に当日服用分だけでなく翌日以降服用分の薬も収納されていて、当日服用分の薬を取り出しても各収納小室が空になるとは限らず、前回薬を取り出した収納小室がどれか分からなくなるので、薬を飲み忘れる恐れがあるという問題があった。 Also, the medicine case of Patent Document 2 uses one medicine case without connecting three medicine cases having four storage compartments in order to make the package carried at business trip or travel as compact as possible. Medicines for business days or travel days instead of one dose can be stored together. However, in that case, not only the dose taken on the day but also the medicine taken on the next day is stored in each storage compartment, and even if the medicine taken on the day is taken out, the storage compartments are not necessarily empty. There is a problem that there is a risk of forgetting to take the medicine because it is impossible to know which storage compartment from which the medicine was taken out.

It is preferable to be provided at such a position that it does not protrude above the hinge portion 26. Here, the upper side means the upper direction of the paper surface of FIG. 1 (the Z direction of FIG. 1). That is, when there is a gap L between the outer periphery of the display body 30 and the hinge portion 26, the lid 24 can be opened at a right angle, but the outer periphery of the display body 30 is from above the lid 24 above the hinge portion 26 When the lid 24 is opened, the outer periphery of the display 30 strikes the hinge portion 26 when the lid 24 is opened, and the lid 24 can not be opened at a right angle, so it becomes difficult to take out the medicine from the inside of the small box 22. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the outer periphery of the display body 30 or to move the recess or protrusion 24 a on the surface of the lid 24 to a position where the above-mentioned protrusion does not occur. In addition, when the outer periphery of the display body 30 protrudes or does not extend depending on the direction when the display body 30 is attached to the concave portion or the convex portion 24 a, the display body 30 does not protrude in the outer periphery of the display body 30. The direction of attachment of may be limited by the method described later.
With such a configuration, even when the display is attached, the opening angle at a right angle of the lid can be secured, so the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention is easy to use.
 蓋24は、透明及び不透明のどちらであっても良いが、透明であるのが好ましい。
 このような構成とすることで、蓋24の外から小箱22内の薬が見えるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、薬を飲み忘れないように手軽に管理することができる。
The lid 24 may be either transparent or opaque, but is preferably transparent.
With such a configuration, since the medicine in the small box 22 can be seen from the outside of the lid 24, the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention can be easily managed so as not to forget to take the medicine.
 蓋24の材料は、ポリエチレン樹脂、ポリプロピレン樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂、ABS樹脂などから成る群から選択される1種であっても良いが、蓋24に一体化したU字状の薄いヒンジ部26の柔軟性と耐久性の点でポリプロピレン樹脂であるのが好ましい。蓋24の色は、特に制限的ではなく、例えば、黄色、青色、赤色などに着色されていても良いし、表面光沢は、あってもなくても良い。また、朝服用分と昼服用分と夕方服用分の蓋を見分けやすくするために、例えば、黄色と青色と赤色のような異なる色に着色されていても良い。蓋24のつまみ24cの形状は、蓋24を容易に開閉することができ、かつ成形しやすさに影響しなければ、特に制限的ではなく、図1~3のようなアーチ状ではなく、例えば、蓋24の回動軸方向(図1のY方向)から見てL字状であっても良い。蓋24に印刷する文字の内容、フォント、大きさ、太さ及び色は、印刷しやすさに影響しなければ、特に制限的ではない。また、文字を蓋24に印刷する代わりに、文字を印刷したシールを蓋24の表面又は裏面に貼り付けても良い。 The material of the lid 24 may be one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polystyrene resin, ABS resin, etc., but the softness of the U-shaped thin hinge portion 26 integrated with the lid 24 It is preferable that it is a polypropylene resin from the point of property and durability. The color of the lid 24 is not particularly limited, and may be colored, for example, yellow, blue, red, etc., and the surface gloss may or may not be present. Also, in order to make it easy to distinguish the lids for morning dose, day dose and evening dose, for example, they may be colored in different colors such as yellow, blue and red. The shape of the knob 24c of the lid 24 is not particularly limited as long as the lid 24 can be easily opened and closed and does not affect the ease of molding, and it is not arched as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, it may be L-shaped as viewed from the rotational axis direction of the lid 24 (the Y direction in FIG. 1). The content, font, size, thickness and color of characters printed on the lid 24 are not particularly limited as long as they do not affect the printability. Further, instead of printing the characters on the lid 24, a seal on which the characters are printed may be attached to the front or back surface of the lid 24.
 次に、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体について説明する。図5は、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体の一例を示す正面図である。 Next, the display body which comprises the portable medicine case of FIG. 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a front view showing an example of a display constituting the portable medicine case of FIG.
 蓋24の表面の凹部は、蓋24の表面に垂直な貫通孔24dであっても良く、その場合には、表示体30は、長尺な脚部32及び頭部34を有し、長尺な脚部32は、貫通孔24dに嵌合し、頭部34は、脚部32の横断面方向の大きさが貫通孔24dよりも大きい。ここで、脚部32の横断面方向とは、図5の紙面の左右方向を意味する。即ち、蓋24の表面の凹部がこの表面に垂直な貫通孔24dである場合には、表示体30の嵌合方向に長尺な脚部32は、貫通孔24dに挿入され、頭部34は、長尺な脚部32の横断面方向に切断した時の頭部34の大きさが貫通孔24dの大きさよりも大きいので、貫通孔24dに挿入されずに蓋24の表面から上方向(図1のZ方向)に突出する。貫通孔24dの大きさは、特に制限的ではなく、どのような大きさでも良いが、各小箱22の中に収納した薬が出ないような大きさである必要がある。 The recess on the surface of the lid 24 may be a through hole 24d perpendicular to the surface of the lid 24. In this case, the display 30 has a long leg 32 and a head 34, and is long The leg 32 fits into the through hole 24d, and the head 34 has a larger cross-sectional size of the leg 32 than the through hole 24d. Here, the cross-sectional direction of the leg 32 means the left-right direction of the paper surface of FIG. 5. That is, when the recess on the surface of the lid 24 is the through hole 24d perpendicular to this surface, the leg 32 elongated in the fitting direction of the display body 30 is inserted into the through hole 24d and the head 34 is Since the size of the head 34 when cut in the cross-sectional direction of the long leg 32 is larger than the size of the through hole 24 d, the head 34 is not inserted into the through hole 24 d and is directed upward from the surface of the lid 24 (see FIG. It projects in the Z direction of 1). The size of the through hole 24d is not particularly limited, and may be any size, but it is necessary that the size of the medicine stored in each small box 22 is not released.
 頭部34の形状は、特に制限的ではなく、多角柱、多角柱の組み合わせ、円柱、円柱の組み合わせ、及びそれらの複合的組み合わせの内のどの形状であっても良い。頭部34の大きさは、特に制限的ではなく、どのような大きさでも良いが、蓋24の直角の開口角度を確保できるような大きさである必要がある。
 このような構成とすることで、次回服用する薬が明示されるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、薬を飲み忘れないように手軽に管理することができる。
The shape of the head 34 is not particularly limited, and may be any shape among polygonal columns, combinations of polygonal columns, cylinders, combinations of cylinders, and composite combinations thereof. The size of the head 34 is not particularly limited, and it may be any size, but it needs to be large enough to secure the opening angle of the lid 24 at a right angle.
With this configuration, the drug to be taken next time is clearly indicated, so the portable drug case 10 of the present invention can be easily managed so as not to forget to take the drug.
 脚部32は、嵌合方向の全長にわたって同じ形状及び寸法を有しても良いが、表示体30の頭部34が蓋24の表面に当接した状態から表示体30を引き抜く時に、貫通孔24dのエッジに当接する係止部32aを有するのが好ましい。即ち、脚部32の嵌合面には、長尺な脚部32の横断面方向に突出した係止部32aが設けられ、表示体30の頭部34を蓋24の表面に押し当てた位置から表示体30を引き抜くと、係止部32aが貫通孔24dのエッジに当接することによって引き抜く途中の引っ掛り位置を構成する。従って、係止部32aの大きさは、表示体30を引き抜くことができる大きさにする必要がある。なお、係止部32aは、蓋24の厚さmに対して、頭部34からの距離nがわずかに長くなる位置に配置するのが好ましい。
 このような構成とすることで、係止部が貫通孔のエッジに引っ掛かり、蓋を開けた時の衝撃で表示体が外れることがないので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、使いやすい。
The leg portion 32 may have the same shape and dimensions over the entire length in the fitting direction, but when the display body 30 is pulled out from the state where the head 34 of the display body 30 abuts on the surface of the lid 24 It is preferable to have a locking portion 32a that abuts the edge of 24d. That is, the fitting surface of the leg 32 is provided with the locking portion 32 a protruding in the cross sectional direction of the long leg 32, and the position where the head 34 of the display 30 is pressed against the surface of the lid 24. When the display body 30 is pulled out, the hooking portion 32a is in contact with the edge of the through hole 24d, thereby forming a hooking position in the middle of the pulling out. Therefore, the size of the locking portion 32 a needs to be such that the display body 30 can be pulled out. The locking portion 32a is preferably disposed at a position where the distance n from the head 34 is slightly longer than the thickness m of the lid 24.
With such a configuration, the locking portion is caught on the edge of the through hole, and the display does not come off due to an impact when the lid is opened, so the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention is easy to use.
 脚部32は、貫通孔24dに嵌合することができれば、どのような横断面形状を有しても良いが、貫通孔24dの断面形状と同じ、円形、長円形、楕円形、卵形、ひょうたん形、多角形、及びそれらの組み合わせからなる群から選択される1種の横断面形状を有するのが好ましい。即ち、貫通孔24dの断面形状は、図示例では円形であるが、本発明は特に制限的ではなく、円形、長円形、楕円形、卵形、ひょうたん形、多角形、及びそれらの組み合わせからなる群から選択される1種の横断面形状を有し、脚部32の断面形状は、貫通孔24dの断面形状と同じ横断面形状を有するのが好ましい。例えば、脚部32を円形の横断面形状にした場合には、表示体30の取り付け方向が限定されないので、表示体30を貫通孔24dに容易に取り付けられるようにすることができる。また、例えば、脚部32を円形以外の横断面形状にした場合には、表示体30の取り付け方向が限定されることによって、表示体30の外周が蓋24の上方からヒンジ部26の上方にはみ出さないように規制することができ、それによって、蓋24の直角の開口角度を確保できるので、表示体30が取り付けられていても収納した薬を取り出しやすくすることができる。 The leg 32 may have any cross sectional shape as long as it can be fitted into the through hole 24d, but the same circular, oval, oval, oval, or the same cross sectional shape as the through hole 24d. It is preferred to have one cross-sectional shape selected from the group consisting of gourds, polygons, and combinations thereof. That is, although the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 24d is circular in the illustrated example, the present invention is not particularly limited, and it may be circular, oval, oval, oval, gourd, polygon, and combinations thereof. The cross-sectional shape of the leg 32 preferably has the same cross-sectional shape as the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 24d. For example, in the case where the leg 32 has a circular cross-sectional shape, the mounting direction of the display 30 is not limited, so that the display 30 can be easily attached to the through hole 24d. Further, for example, when the leg 32 is formed to have a cross-sectional shape other than a circular shape, the outer circumference of the display 30 is from above the lid 24 to above the hinge 26 by limiting the attachment direction of the display 30. Since the opening angle of the lid 24 can be secured at a right angle, the stored medicine can be easily taken out even if the display 30 is attached.
 さらに、例えば、係止部32aを有する脚部32において、係止部32aを円形以外の横断面形状に、係止部32aと頭部34との間の脚部32を係止部32aの横断面形状よりも一回り小さい横断面形状にした場合には、貫通孔24dに係止部32aを貫通させた後に係止部32aを回転することによって抜け止めを構成できるので、蓋24を開けた時の衝撃で表示体30が外れないようにすることができる。
 このような構成とすることで、上型と下型を用いて蓋を容易に成形できるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、蓋を低コストで高品質に製造することができる。
Furthermore, for example, in the leg 32 having the locking portion 32a, the locking portion 32a has a cross section other than a circular shape, and the leg 32 between the locking portion 32a and the head 34 is a crossing of the locking portion 32a. In the case of a cross-sectional shape which is slightly smaller than the surface shape, since the locking portion 32a is made to penetrate after passing through the locking portion 32a in the through hole 24d, the lid 24 can be constituted by rotating the locking portion 32a. It is possible to prevent the display body 30 from being detached by the impact of time.
With such a configuration, since the lid can be easily formed using the upper and lower molds, the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention can manufacture the lid with high quality at low cost.
 頭部34は、指で把持することができれば、どのような形状を有しても良いが、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向に垂直な頭部34の2つの断面の内、脚部32から近い方の頭部34の断面は、脚部32から遠い方の頭部34の断面よりも小さい大きさを有するのが好ましい。ここで、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向とは、図5の紙面の上下方向を意味する。即ち、頭部34は、直方体の形状であり、脚部32から遠い頭部上面34aと側面との間の4つのエッジは、円筒状に加工されていないのに対して、脚部32から近い頭部下面34bと側面との間の4つのエッジの内、図1の紙面の左下と右上の2つのエッジは、円筒状に加工されている。従って、表示体30の頭部下面34bの大きさは、頭部上面34aの大きさよりも小さい。
 このような構成とすることで、表示体を確実に取り外すことができるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、使いやすい。
The head 34 may have any shape as long as it can be gripped with a finger, but of the two cross sections of the head 34 perpendicular to the direction in which the leg 32 fits in the through hole 24 d, The cross-section of the head 34 closer to the legs 32 preferably has a smaller size than the cross-section of the head 34 farther from the legs 32. Here, the direction in which the leg portions 32 fit in the through holes 24d means the vertical direction of the paper surface of FIG. That is, the head 34 is in the shape of a rectangular solid, and the four edges between the head upper surface 34 a and the side surfaces far from the leg 32 are closer to the leg 32 while they are not processed into a cylindrical shape. Among the four edges between the head lower surface 34b and the side surface, the two edges on the lower left and upper right of the paper surface of FIG. 1 are processed into a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the size of the head lower surface 34b of the display body 30 is smaller than the size of the head upper surface 34a.
With such a configuration, the display body can be removed reliably, so the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention is easy to use.
 次に、薬ケースの中に収納した薬の服用状態を管理する方法について説明する。
 予め各小箱22の中に、例えば、朝服用分と昼服用分と夕方服用分と寝る前服用分の薬をそれぞれ収納しておき、朝服用分の薬を服用する時に、朝服用分の薬が収納された小箱22の蓋24を開けてその小箱22の中から薬を取り出した後その蓋24を閉じ、昼服用分の薬が収納された小箱22の蓋24の凹部又は凸部24aに表示体30を取り付ける。次に、昼服用分の薬を服用する時に、昼服用分の薬が収納された小箱22の蓋24を開けてその小箱22の中から薬を取り出した後その蓋24を閉じ、その蓋24の凹部又は凸部24aに取り付けられた表示体30を取り外し、その表示体30を夕方服用分の薬が収納された小箱22の蓋24の凹部又は凸部24aに取り付ける。次に、夕方服用分の薬を服用する時に、その時の服用分の薬を取り出した後、表示体30を寝る前服用分の薬が収納された小箱22の蓋24の凹部又は凸部24aに移動する。この薬の取り出しと表示体30の移動を、朝、昼、夕、寝る前の各服用分の薬を服用する度に繰り返す。
Next, a method of managing the taking state of the medicine stored in the medicine case will be described.
For example, the morning dose, the daytime dose, and the evening dose and the dose before sleeping are stored in each small box 22 in advance, and the morning dose is taken when taking the morning dose. The lid 24 of the small box 22 containing the medicine is opened and the medicine is taken out of the small box 22 and then the lid 24 is closed, and the recess of the lid 24 of the small box 22 containing the daily dose of medicine or The display body 30 is attached to the convex portion 24a. Next, when taking the medicine for the daily dose, open the lid 24 of the small box 22 containing the medicine for the daily dose, take out the medicine from the small box 22, and then close the cover 24 and The display body 30 attached to the concave or convex portion 24 a of the lid 24 is removed, and the display 30 is attached to the concave or convex portion 24 a of the lid 24 of the small box 22 containing the medicine for the evening dose. Next, when taking the medicine for the evening, after taking out the medicine for that time, the concave or convex portion 24 a of the lid 24 of the small box 22 containing the medicine for the dose before sleeping the display body 30. Move to The taking out of the medicine and the movement of the display body 30 are repeated each time the medicine is taken for morning, noon, evening and before taking a bed.
 携帯用薬ケース10の連結体20を構成する小箱22の連結数は、図示例では4つであるが、本発明は特に制限的ではなく、各服用タイミングでの薬の服用状態を管理しやすいという点で1日の服用回数と同じであることが好ましい。例えば、小箱22の連結数は、服用回数が1日4回の場合には図示例のように4つであることが好ましく、1日3回の場合には3つであることが好ましく、1日朝夕2回の場合には2つであることが好ましい。しかしながら、例えば、服用回数が1日1回の場合には、小箱22の連結数は、1つではなく、各曜日の薬の服用状態を管理しやすいという点で1週間の日数と同じ7つであっても良い。また、携帯用薬ケース10の大きさは、出張又は旅行用バッグに入れることができれば特に制限的ではなく、A4サイズ以下で厚さ5cm以下のもの、例えば、縦7cm×横30cm×高さ4cm程度のものを含む。 Although the number of connected small boxes 22 constituting the connected body 20 of the portable medicine case 10 is four in the illustrated example, the present invention is not particularly limited, and the administration state of the medicine at each intake timing is managed It is preferable that the number of doses per day is the same in terms of ease of administration. For example, the number of small boxes 22 connected is preferably four as in the illustrated example when the number of doses is four times a day, and preferably three in the case of three times a day, In the case of twice a day on the 1st, it is preferable that there are two. However, for example, when the number of times of dosing is once a day, the number of connected small boxes 22 is not one, and the same as the number of days of one week in that it is easy to manage the taking state of medicine on each day It may be one. In addition, the size of the portable medicine case 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can be put in a business trip or travel bag, and is less than A4 size and 5 cm or less in thickness, for example, 7 cm long x 30 cm wide x 4 cm high Including those of degree.
 本発明の第1実施形態の携帯用薬ケースは、基本的に以上のように構成される。このような構成とすることで、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、手間を掛けずに薬を取り出すこと及び手軽に携帯することができ、かつ薬を飲み忘れないように手軽に管理することができ、また、従来と同等以上に安全で使いやすく、連結体を低コストで高品質に製造することができる。 The portable medicine case of the first embodiment of the present invention is basically configured as described above. With such a configuration, the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention can take out the medicine without taking much time and can be carried easily, and can be easily managed so as not to forget to take the medicine. In addition, it is safer and easier to use than conventional ones, and the connector can be manufactured in high quality at low cost.
 次に、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体の第1変形例について説明する。図6は、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体の第1変形例を示す正面図である。 Next, a first modification of the display body constituting the portable medicine case of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a front view showing a first modified example of a display constituting the portable medicine case of FIG.
 蓋24の表面の凹部は、蓋24の表面に垂直な貫通孔24dであっても良く、その場合には、表示体40は、長尺な脚部32及び頭部42を有し、長尺な脚部32は、貫通孔24dに嵌合し、頭部42は、脚部32の横断面方向の大きさが貫通孔24dよりも大きい。ここで、脚部32の横断面方向とは、図6の紙面の左右方向を意味する。表示体40は、表示体30の頭部34に対して、頭部42を有する点以外は同一の構成を有するものであるので、同一の構成要素の説明を省略する。 The recess on the surface of the lid 24 may be a through hole 24d perpendicular to the surface of the lid 24. In this case, the display 40 has a long leg 32 and a head 42, and is long The leg 32 fits into the through hole 24d, and the head 42 has a larger cross-sectional size of the leg 32 than the through hole 24d. Here, the cross-sectional direction of the leg 32 means the left-right direction of the paper surface of FIG. Since the display body 40 has the same configuration as the head 34 of the display body 30 except that the head 42 is provided, the description of the same components will be omitted.
 頭部42は、指で把持することができれば、どのような形状を有しても良いが、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向に垂直な頭部42の2つの断面の内、脚部32から近い方の頭部42の断面は、脚部32から遠い方の頭部42の断面よりも小さい大きさを有するのが好ましい。ここで、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向とは、図6の紙面の上下方向を意味する。即ち、頭部42は、脚部32から遠い上部42aと脚部32から近い中間部42bと脚部32からより近い下部42cの3つの円柱から成る複合形状であり、上部42aと下部42cの直径に対して、中間部42bの直径は、小さくなっている。従って、表示体40の中間部42bの横断面の大きさは、上部42aの横断面の大きさよりも小さい。なお、上部42aの上側エッジ及び下部42cの上側エッジは、滑らかな曲面に加工されても良い。 The head 42 may have any shape as long as it can be gripped with a finger, but of the two cross sections of the head 42 perpendicular to the direction in which the leg 32 fits in the through hole 24 d, Preferably, the cross-section of the head 42 closer to the legs 32 has a smaller size than the cross-section of the head 42 farther from the legs 32. Here, the direction in which the leg portions 32 fit in the through holes 24d means the vertical direction of the paper surface of FIG. That is, the head portion 42 has a composite shape including three cylinders of an upper portion 42a remote from the leg portion 32 and a middle portion 42b closer to the leg portion 32 and a lower portion 42c closer to the leg portion 32, and the diameters of the upper portion 42a and the lower portion 42c In contrast, the diameter of the intermediate portion 42b is smaller. Therefore, the size of the cross section of the middle portion 42b of the display body 40 is smaller than the size of the cross section of the upper portion 42a. The upper edge of the upper portion 42a and the upper edge of the lower portion 42c may be processed into a smooth curved surface.
 表示体の第1変形例は、基本的に以上のように構成される。このような構成とすることで、表示体を確実に取り外すことができるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、使いやすい。 The first modified example of the display body is basically configured as described above. With such a configuration, the display body can be removed reliably, so the portable medicine case 10 of the present invention is easy to use.
 次に、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体の第2変形例について説明する。図7は、図1の携帯用薬ケースを構成する表示体の第2変形例を示す正面図である。 Next, a second modification of the display body constituting the portable medicine case of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a front view showing a second modified example of the display constituting the portable medicine case of FIG.
 蓋24の表面の凹部は、蓋24の表面に垂直な貫通孔24dであっても良く、その場合には、表示体50は、長尺な脚部32及び頭部52を有し、長尺な脚部32は、貫通孔24dに嵌合し、頭部52は、脚部32の横断面方向の大きさが貫通孔24dよりも大きい。ここで、脚部32の横断面方向とは、図7の紙面の左右方向を意味する。表示体50は、表示体30の頭部34に対して、頭部52を有する点以外は同一の構成を有するものであるので、同一の構成要素の説明を省略する。 The recess on the surface of the lid 24 may be a through hole 24d perpendicular to the surface of the lid 24. In that case, the display 50 has the elongated legs 32 and the head 52, and the elongated The leg 32 fits into the through hole 24d, and the head 52 has a larger cross-sectional size of the leg 32 than the through hole 24d. Here, the cross-sectional direction of the leg 32 means the left-right direction of the paper surface of FIG. 7. The display 50 has the same configuration as the head 34 of the display 30 except that it has the head 52, so the description of the same components will be omitted.
 頭部52は、指で把持することができれば、どのような形状を有しても良いが、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向に垂直な頭部52の2つの断面の内、脚部32から近い方の頭部52の断面は、脚部32から遠い方の頭部52の断面よりも小さい大きさを有するのが好ましい。ここで、脚部32が貫通孔24dに嵌合する方向とは、図7の紙面の上下方向を意味する。即ち、頭部52は、脚部32から遠い上部52aと脚部32から近い下部52bの2つの円柱から成る複合形状であり、上部52aの直径に対して、下部52bの直径は、小さくなっている。従って、表示体50の下部52bの横断面の大きさは、上部52aの横断面の大きさよりも小さい。なお、上部52aには、後述する紐を固定するための貫通した紐孔54を設けても良い。 The head 52 may have any shape as long as it can be gripped by a finger, but of the two cross sections of the head 52 perpendicular to the direction in which the leg 32 fits in the through hole 24 d, The cross-section of the head 52 closer to the legs 32 preferably has a smaller size than the cross-section of the head 52 farther from the legs 32. Here, the direction in which the leg 32 is fitted in the through hole 24d means the vertical direction of the paper surface of FIG. That is, the head 52 is a composite shape consisting of two cylinders, an upper part 52a far from the leg 32 and a lower part 52b near the leg 32, and the diameter of the lower part 52b is smaller than the diameter of the upper part 52a. There is. Therefore, the size of the cross section of the lower portion 52b of the display body 50 is smaller than the size of the cross section of the upper portion 52a. The upper portion 52a may be provided with a penetrating cord hole 54 for fixing a cord to be described later.
 表示体の第2変形例は、基本的に以上のように構成される。このような構成とすることで、表示体を確実に取り外すことができるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース10は、使いやすい。 The second modified example of the display body is basically configured as described above.

 次に、本発明の第3実施形態の携帯用薬ケースの上記一例について具体的に説明する。図10は、図9(A)の携帯用薬ケースを構成する3つの連結体の内の1つを取り外したものの平面図であり、図11は、図10の携帯用薬ケースの線BBによる拡大横断面図である。 Next, the example of the portable medicine case of the third embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described. FIG. 10 is a plan view of one of the three connected members constituting the portable medicine case of FIG. 9A removed, and FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken along line BB of the portable medicine case of FIG. It is an expanded cross-sectional view.
 図10、11の携帯用薬ケース80aは、携帯用薬ケース10に対して、2つの連結体20を有する点、及び携帯用薬ケース10の連結体20に対して、各連結体が結合部82aを有する点、携帯用薬ケース10の表示体30に対して、形状が異なる表示体110、120を有する点以外は、4つの小箱22並びに各小箱22の蓋24及びヒンジ部26の寸法が異なるものの、機能上は同一の構成を有するものであるので、同一の構成要素の説明を省略する。 The portable drug case 80a shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 has a point at which it has two connected bodies 20 with respect to the portable drug case 10, and each connected body is a connected portion with respect to the connected body 20 of the portable drug case 10. 82a and the display body 30 of the portable medicine case 10, except that the display bodies 110 and 120 have different shapes, the four small boxes 22 and the lids 24 and hinges 26 of each small box 22. Although they have different dimensions, they have the same configuration in function, so the description of the same components will be omitted.
 結合部82aは、凸側結合部90と凹側結合部100とから成り、凸側結合部90は、側壁20bに配置され、凹側結合部100は、側壁20aに配置される。そして、複数の連結体20の内、隣接する2つの連結体20の内の一方の連結体20の凸側結合部90は、互いに各小箱22の連結方向(図9(A)のY方向又はその反対方向)にスライドさせることによって、他方の連結体20の凹側結合部100に着脱可能に結合される。即ち、互いに隣接する一方の連結体20と他方の連結体20を、図9(A)のY方向又はその反対方向に相対的にスライドさせることによって、一方の連結体20の側壁20bに配置された凸側結合部90が他方の連結体20の側壁20aに配置された凹側結合部100に着脱可能に結合される。
 このような構成とすることで、小箱22の数が多いにもかかわらず連結部の数が少なくなるので、本発明の携帯用薬ケース80aは、各小箱が小さすぎて収納できない場合でも、連結の手間が少なく、かつ1回の服用分の薬量の増減に対応することが容易である。
The coupling portion 82a is composed of a convex coupling portion 90 and a concave coupling portion 100. The convex coupling portion 90 is disposed on the side wall 20b, and the concave coupling portion 100 is disposed on the side wall 20a. Then, the convex side coupling portions 90 of one coupling body 20 of the two coupling bodies 20 adjacent to each other among the plurality of coupling bodies 20 are mutually connected in the coupling direction of the respective small boxes 22 (Y direction in FIG. Or, by sliding in the opposite direction), it is detachably coupled to the concave coupling portion 100 of the other coupling body 20. That is, by relatively sliding one coupling body 20 adjacent to each other and the other coupling body 20 in the Y direction of FIG. The convex side coupling portion 90 is detachably coupled to the concave side coupling portion 100 disposed on the side wall 20 a of the other coupling body 20.
With such a configuration, the number of connection parts decreases even though the number of small boxes 22 is large, so the portable medicine case 80a of the present invention can be stored even if each small box can not be stored , It is easy to cope with the increase and decrease of the dose of one dose, with little connection work.
 次に、連結体同士の結合機構について説明する。
 凸側結合部90は、T字状の横断面形状を持ち、帯状の平坦な結合板92と接続部94とを有し、結合板92は、側壁20bに対して平行な面内を各小箱22の連結方向に伸び、接続部94は、各小箱22の開口部22bに対して直角な方向(図9(A)の紙面に直角な方向)の結合板92の中央92aと側壁20bとの間を接続する。ここで、各小箱22の開口部22bは、平坦であり、開口の内縁が同一平面上にある。
Next, the coupling mechanism of the connectors will be described.
The convex side coupling portion 90 has a T-shaped cross-sectional shape, and has a band-like flat coupling plate 92 and a connection portion 94. The coupling plate 92 is small in each plane in parallel to the side wall 20b The connecting portion 94 extends in the connecting direction of the box 22, and the connecting portion 94 is the center 92a and the side wall 20b of the connecting plate 92 in the direction perpendicular to the opening 22b of each small box 22 (the direction perpendicular to the sheet of FIG. 9A). Connect between Here, the opening 22b of each small box 22 is flat, and the inner edge of the opening is on the same plane.
 即ち、凸側結合部90を構成する帯状の平坦な結合板92は、側壁20bに対して平行な面内を図9(A)のY方向又はその反対方向に伸び、図9(A)の紙面に直角な方向の中央92aと側壁20bとの間は、接続部94で接続される。結合板92及び接続部94は、連結体20に一体化してもそれぞれ別部品として構成しても良いが、部品数を減らすために連結体20に一体化するのが好ましい。 That is, the band-like flat coupling plate 92 constituting the convex side coupling portion 90 extends in the plane parallel to the side wall 20b in the Y direction of FIG. 9A or the opposite direction thereof. A connection 94 connects between the center 92 a and the side wall 20 b in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The coupling plate 92 and the connection portion 94 may be integrated with the connector 20 or may be configured as separate parts, but it is preferable to integrate the connector with the connector 20 in order to reduce the number of parts.
 凹側結合部100は、連続したL字状の支持部対又は分断されたL字状のそれぞれ複数の支持部対を有しても良く、その場合には、支持部対は、帯状の平坦な結合板92を両側から摺動可能に支持するが、凸側結合部90と凹側結合部100との接触面積が小さくなることによって摺動性が良くなるので、分断されたL字状のそれぞれ複数の支持部対の方が好ましい。 The concave joint portion 100 may have a continuous L-shaped support portion pair or a plurality of divided L-shaped support portions, in which case the support portion pair has a strip-like flat surface. The L-shaped connection plate 92 is supported so as to be slidable from both sides, but the sliding property is improved by reducing the contact area between the convex side coupling portion 90 and the concave side coupling portion 100. A plurality of support pairs are preferred in each case.
 凹側結合部100は、L字状の複数の第1支持部102とL字状の複数の第2支持部104とを有しても良く、その場合には、各第1支持部102は、各小箱22の連結方向に対して平行な第1直線上に配置され、かつ結合板92の中央92aに対して結合板92の一方の側92bを摺動可能に支持し、各第2支持部104は、第1直線に対して平行な第2直線上に配置され、かつ結合板92の中央92aに対して結合板92の他方の側92cを摺動可能に支持する。 The concave side coupling portion 100 may have a plurality of L-shaped first support portions 102 and a plurality of L-shaped second support portions 104, in which case each first support portion 102 , Arranged on a first straight line parallel to the connecting direction of each small box 22, and slidably supporting one side 92b of the connecting plate 92 with respect to the center 92a of the connecting plate 92; The support portion 104 is disposed on a second straight line parallel to the first straight line, and slidably supports the other side 92 c of the coupling plate 92 with respect to the center 92 a of the coupling plate 92.
 即ち、凹側結合部100を構成する第1支持部102及び第2支持部104は、結合板92の中央92aに対して結合板92の一方の側92b及び他方の側92cをそれぞれ摺動可能に支持する。そのため、結合板92がスライドする空間106の幅が結合板92の幅よりも少し広くなるような間隔を開けて、第1支持部102及び第2支持部104が配置される。第1支持部102及び第2支持部104は、連結体20に一体化してもそれぞれ別部品として構成しても良いが、部品数を減らすために連結体20に一体化するのが好ましい。 That is, the first support portion 102 and the second support portion 104 constituting the concave side coupling portion 100 can slide on one side 92 b and the other side 92 c of the coupling plate 92 with respect to the center 92 a of the coupling plate 92. To support. Therefore, the first support portion 102 and the second support portion 104 are disposed with an interval such that the width of the space 106 in which the coupling plate 92 slides is slightly larger than the width of the coupling plate 92. The first support portion 102 and the second support portion 104 may be integrated with the connector 20 or may be configured as separate parts, but preferably are integrated with the connector 20 in order to reduce the number of parts.
 連結体同士の結合機構は、上記機構に限定されず、凸側結合部90及び凹側結合部100の代わりに凸部及び凹部を側壁20a、20bの表面にそれぞれ設け、凸部及び凹部を互いに嵌合させることによって隣接する2つの連結体20を互いに着脱可能に結合しても良く、また、凸側結合部90及び凹側結合部100の代わりに磁石を側壁20a、20bに配置し、磁石の吸引力によって隣接する2つの連結体20を互いに着脱可能に結合しても良い。なお、以上のような連結体同士の結合機構を使用して、携帯用薬ケース80b~80dの隣接する2つの連結体を互いに着脱可能に結合することができる。 The coupling mechanism between the coupling bodies is not limited to the above-described mechanism, and instead of the convex side coupling portion 90 and the concave side coupling portion 100, convex portions and concave portions are provided on the surfaces of the side walls 20a and 20b, and the convex portions and concave portions are mutually different. Two adjacent couplers 20 may be releasably coupled to each other by fitting, and magnets are disposed on the side walls 20a and 20b instead of the convex side coupling portion 90 and the concave side coupling portion 100, The two adjacent connectors 20 may be releasably coupled to each other by the suction force of. In addition, by using the coupling mechanism of the coupling bodies as described above, it is possible to detachably couple the two adjacent coupling bodies of the portable medicine cases 80b to 80d with each other.
 次に、表示体110、120について説明する。
 蓋24の表面の凹部は、蓋24の表面に垂直な貫通孔24dであっても良く、その場合には、表示体110は、長尺な脚部32及び頭部112を有し、表示体120は、長尺な脚部32及び頭部122を有し、長尺な脚部32は、貫通孔24dに嵌合し、頭部112、122は、脚部32の横断面方向の大きさが貫通孔24dよりも大きい。ここで、脚部32の横断面方向とは、図11の紙面の左右方向を意味する。表示体110は、表示体30の頭部34に対して、頭部112を有する点以外は同一の構成を有するものであり、表示体120は、表示体30の頭部34に対して、頭部122を有する点以外は同一の構成を有するものであるので、同一の構成要素の説明を省略する。
