  In the conventional tablet container, the tablet touched by the hand is returned again into the tablet container, and there is a possibility that the dirt on the hand adheres to the tablet. Further, even if it is attempted to allow the tablets to flow out from the container little by little, it is difficult to adjust the operation, and the excess tablets are often returned to the container again. In addition, it is known that an inner stopper with a small opening is fitted into the mouth of the tablet container and the small amount is allowed to flow out of the opening little by little. In this case, the tablets overlap and become clogged inside the opening. was there.

  Furthermore, in the container of the above invention, each time the button of the container is pressed, one or two predetermined number of tablets are taken out from the container, so the button must be operated many times until the required tablet comes out. There wasn't.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a tablet container that can store and store tablets in an airtight manner and can reliably take out a desired number of tablets.

  The tablet container was constructed as follows.

A container body for accommodating the tablets, and a lid which grapple hermetically through a sealing material to the mouth tube portion outer periphery of the container body, comprising a takeout mechanism mounted inside the mouth tube portion, take-out mechanism, in the inner mouth tube portion The rotating plate is provided with a mounting plate to be assembled and a rotating plate rotatably provided on the mounting plate, and the rotating plate is formed by a partition wall extending radially from the center of the rotating plate. An engagement piece extending in the circumferential direction is provided, and a holding portion for holding the tablet is provided on at least one of the front and back surfaces, and the holding portion is partitioned by a partition wall and an engagement piece extending radially from the center of the rotating plate. The holding part can be adapted to the size of the tablet by changing the pinching angle or the diameter of the rotating plate, and the mounting plate indicates the rotation direction of the rotating plate in the take-out hole formed in the mounting plate. And rotate the rotating plate Causing the holding unit is moved from the lower surface to the upper surface of the mounting plate, attached as tablets held in the holding portion inside the container body is carried out to the outside of the container body from the takeout hole, to constitute a tablet vessel .

  The lid body may be screw-fitted or engaged using unevenness or other coupling means, but is preferably attached airtight to the container body via a sealing material.

  The rotating plate holds the tablet in the take-out hole formed in the mounting plate substantially perpendicular to the mounting plate and on the lower surface side of the mounting plate, that is, inside the container, in the holding portion formed in the rotating plate. Attach to the mounting plate to be sufficient.

  The holding unit may be provided on either one of the front and back surfaces of the rotating plate, but the holding unit may be provided on both sides of the rotating plate. The holding part is formed by a partition wall extending radially from the center of the rotating plate, for example. By changing the sandwiching angle of the partition wall according to the size of the tablet, each holding part is formed so that the tablet is held one by one. Furthermore, you may change the diameter of a rotating plate according to the magnitude | size of a tablet. Then, the holding part can be adapted to the size of the tablet without changing the number of holding parts provided on the rotating plate.

  The holding portion may be formed at least at one place on the rotating plate. Moreover, a holding | maintenance part may be formed widely with respect to the magnitude | size of a tablet, and a some holding | maintenance part may hold | maintain a some tablet so that a some tablet can be discharged | emitted from one holding | maintenance part. Furthermore, you may form a holding | maintenance part along the shape of a tablet. In addition, when the sandwiching angle of the partition wall is narrowed, a large number of holding parts are formed on the rotating plate. Therefore, a cover with an opening is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating plate, and the holding part for discharging the tablet is positioned at the opening. You may limit to only the holding | maintenance part.

  The tablet container is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be flat.

  By the sealing material provided between the lid and the container main body, the tablet can be stored in the container main body in an airtight manner, and moisture absorption and alteration of the tablet can be prevented. By rotating the rotating plate, a predetermined number of tablets can be accurately taken out. Therefore, a desired number of tablets can be taken out by rotating the rotating plate by a predetermined angle. Further, if the number of necessary tablets and the number of tablets stored in the holding unit are matched, one operation can be performed. Necessary tablets can be taken out reliably.

  It is not necessary to shake the container when taking out the tablet, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating plate, and the tablet can be taken out from the container immediately when necessary. Since the tablets discharged from the container are not returned to the container again, the tablets can be stored and stored in a sanitary manner.

  When the tablet container is flattened, the storage at the storage place when the tablet container is stored is good. Further, since the tablet container is familiar to the hand, operations such as taking out the tablet and handling are facilitated.

  In the case of a tablet that does not require high airtightness, the structure of the lid can be simplified.

  An embodiment of a tablet container 2 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  A sealing material 21 is arranged on the upper part of the inner surface of the screw portion 20, and when the lid body 6 is screwed into the mouth tube portion 10, the sealing material 21 is placed between the lid body 6 and the mouth tube portion 10 via the extraction portion 8. The inside of the container body 4 is kept airtight.

  The take-out part 8 is constituted by a mounting plate 24 and a rotary plate 26 assembled to the mouth tube part 10. The mounting plate 24 is circular, has a circumferential fitting piece 28 on the lower surface, and is airtightly coupled to the inner surface of the mouthpiece portion 10 by the fitting piece 28.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a holding wall 32 is formed at the center of the mounting plate 24, and the rotating plate 26 is rotatably housed in an extraction hole 30 formed inside the holding wall 32. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting plate 24 is formed with a step with one side (left side in FIG. 2) being low and the other (right side in FIG. 2) being high with the extraction hole 30 as a boundary. As shown in FIG. 4, the right side of the mounting plate 24 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape, and a holding wall 32 for forming the extraction hole 30 is formed on the upper surface thereof.

  The take-out hole 30 is formed to have a width that is approximately the same as the thickness of the rotating plate 26 and is approximately the same length as the diameter direction of the rotating plate 26, and that the rotating plate 26 fits properly at a position passing through the center thereof. It is. A slit 34 having a circular lower part is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the holding wall 32, and the central shaft 36 of the rotating plate 26 is rotatably fitted.

  The rotating plate 26 is formed of a circular substrate 38 having irregularities formed on the outer periphery and a partition wall 40 provided on one surface side of the base 38. The partition wall 40 is formed in three radial positions around the central axis 36, and an engagement piece 42 extending in the circumferential direction is provided at the distal end in the radial direction. The holding portion 43 is formed by a fan-shaped portion partitioned by the partition wall 40 and the engagement piece 42.

  A protrusion 44 is formed on the back surface of the substrate 38, that is, on the opposite surface of the partition wall 40, corresponding to an intermediate position of the partition wall 40. The protrusions 44 are formed uniformly at three locations, and have a size and a height that fit into the slit 34 with an appropriate click feeling and can be easily detached from the slit 34.

  The rotating plate 26 is attached to the mounting plate 24 with the substrate 38 on the left side of the mounting plate 24.
