Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cylindrical container for a regular tablet, in which a large number of regular tablets having the same shape and size are stacked and stored, and taken out when necessary.

  As a prior art of a cylindrical container for storing shaped tablets which are solid contents having the same shape and size, a long and slender cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-168857 is known. Yes. This container is provided with a cap on the top of a bottomed long and narrow cylindrical body, and stores a plurality of regular tablets (tablets) in a state where the abdomen and abdomen are overlapped and stacked in a full container. To do.

  In the above prior art, the structure of the container is very simple, and the stored fixed tablet is taken out by tilting the cylindrical body with the cap removed and the upper end opening of the cylindrical body opened. This is achieved by a simple operation of rolling down a regular tablet.

JP 2000-168857 A

  However, in the above-described prior art, the taking out of the regular tablet is achieved by the “rolling and dropping” operation of the regular tablet, so that the take-out posture cannot be regulated, and thus the taken out regular tablet. There was a problem that it was easy to cause “dropout”.

  In addition, since the opening is opened in the stacking direction of the regular tablets, when the cylinder is tilted, all the regular tablets stored will try to "roll and fall". There was a problem that it could not be regulated.

  Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and the technical problem is to achieve the removal of the stored regular tablets by “sliding” while receiving resistance. The purpose is to always regulate the taking-out form of the tablet to be constant.

The main configuration of the present invention for solving the above technical problem is:
An inner cylinder having a gripping portion provided at the lower end of a bottomed cylindrical storage cylinder for stacking and storing regular tablets, and an opening for taking out the fixed tablet at the lower end of the cylinder wall of the storage cylinder, and a storage cylinder Having a crested cylindrical outer cylinder that covers the part like a cover,
Screwing the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body to the storage cylindrical portion so as to be movable up and down;
It is in.

  The take-out port of the inner cylinder is established at the lower end of the cylinder wall of the storage cylinder part that stores and stores the shaped tablets, so that the shaped tablet located at the lower end is always facing the take-out port. It will be.

  In addition, since the outer cylinder is covered with the storage cylinder portion of the inner cylinder body, when the outer cylinder body is assembled to the screwing limit, the outlet formed in the storage cylinder portion Is in a state of being blocked by the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body, so that the fixed-shaped tablet does not come out from the take-out port.

  When the outer cylinder is assembled to the storage cylinder portion of the inner cylinder up to the screwing limit, when the outer cylinder is rotated in the screwing direction and relatively displaced upward, the outlet is opened. Therefore, in this state, the container is tilted so that the outlet is on the lower side, and the fixed tablet facing the outlet is taken out while sliding.

  At this time, since the “weight” of the upper regular tablets that are stacked is applied to the shaped tablets to be taken out, this “weight” becomes resistance to the “slip displacement” of the shaped tablets. Thus, taking out the regular tablet is performed in a state in which the “slip” is regulated.

  Another configuration of the present invention is that, in addition to the main configuration described above, the gripping portion is configured in a cylindrical shape, and a top-bottomed cylindrical bottom plug is closely fitted and assembled to the gripping portion. The bottom of the part is formed.

  In the case where the bottom of the storage cylinder part is formed with a bottom plug, a fixed tablet is filled and stored in the storage cylinder part through the gripping part with the outer cylinder being assembled to the inner cylinder up to the screwing limit. Thereafter, the container can be sealed by tightly fitting a bottom plug to the grip portion.

  In addition to the main configuration described above, another configuration of the present invention is such that a mark portion indicating the position of the extraction port is formed in the grip portion that is directly below the extraction port of the inner cylinder.

  In the case where the mark portion indicating the position of the extraction port is formed in the grip portion that is directly under the extraction port, even if the extraction port is hidden by the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body in the closed state of the container The position of the take-out port can be recognized by the mark portion.

  Further, in addition to the main configuration described above, another configuration of the present invention is based on a take-out port that faces the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body and the storage cylindrical portion of the inner cylindrical body assembled to the screwing limit. In addition, a sealing function portion is formed over the entire circumference between the outer peripheral surface portion of the storage cylinder portion positioned below and the lower end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion.

  If the seal function part is formed between the outer peripheral surface part of the storage cylinder part located below the outlet and the lower end part of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder wall part, In a state where the cylindrical body is assembled up to the screwing limit, a reliable sealing of the container can be obtained.

  In addition to the main configuration described above, another configuration of the present invention is provided below the take-out port in a state where the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body and the storage cylindrical portion of the inner cylindrical body are assembled up to the screwing limit. An opening that allows the passage of the shaped tablet is opened in the cylindrical wall portion located at the position, and the opening position of this opening is set to a position facing the take-out port by the upward displacement due to the screwing rotation of the cylindrical wall portion, Is.

  In the case where an opening is formed in the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body, the opening that can be visually recognized as the appearance of the container functions as a substantial “removal port”.

  Further, in addition to the main configuration described above, another configuration of the present invention is directly below the take-out port, in which the cylinder wall portion of the outer cylinder body and the storage cylinder portion of the inner cylinder body are opposed to each other up to the screwing limit. A sealing function portion is formed over the entire circumference between the outer peripheral surface portion of the storage cylinder portion and the inner peripheral surface portion of the cylindrical wall portion immediately above the opening.

  If the seal function part is formed between the outer peripheral surface part of the storage cylinder part directly under the outlet and the inner peripheral surface part of the cylinder wall part immediately above the opening part, it is not affected by the opening part. The container can be securely sealed in a state where the outer cylinder is assembled to the inner cylinder up to the screwing limit.

  According to another configuration of the present invention, in the configuration in which the sealing function portion is formed, the sealing function portion is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylinder body, It is comprised from the seal protrusion formed in the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder part of a cylinder.

  If the seal function part is composed of a smooth seal inner peripheral surface formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall part and a seal ridge formed on the outer peripheral surface of the storage cylinder part, it has a ridge structure. As a result, the smooth inner surface of the seal is pressed against the seal protrusion that is easily elastically deformed, so that the entire deformation of the seal protrusion and the inner peripheral surface of the seal is caused by the crushed elastic deformation of the seal protrusion. A reliable close contact over the circumference can be obtained.

  In addition to the main configuration described above, another configuration of the present invention is provided with a locking protrusion on the outer peripheral surface of the storage cylinder portion of the inner cylinder, and a stopper that locks the locking protrusion so as not to be able to get over. The protrusion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body, and the locking protrusion and the stopper are provided at a position where the fixed tablet can be taken out from the extraction port by the upward displacement caused by the screwing rotation of the cylindrical wall portion. It is what made the structure which locks a protrusion.

  In the case where the stopper ridge and the locking ridge are provided, the screwing operation of the outer cylinder relative to the inner cylinder can be restricted to a position where the regular tablet can be taken out from the take-out port.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the main configuration of the present invention, since the shaped tablets taken out by one take-out operation are only those facing the take-out port, it is possible to obtain only the faced shaped tablets, As a result, the number of regular tablets to be taken out can be accurately controlled.

  Moreover, since the “sliding displacement” is regulated at the time of taking out, the fixed tablet to be taken out can be safely taken out without jumping out into the illusion.

  In the case where the bottom of the storage cylinder part is formed with a bottom plug, the fixed tablet is filled and stored in a state where the outer cylinder is assembled to the inner cylinder up to the screwing limit, and then the container is sealed. Therefore, it becomes easy to perform the sealed storage process of the regular tablet in the container.

  In the case where the mark part indicating the position of the extraction port is formed on the grip part that is directly under the extraction port, the position of the extraction port can be recognized by the mark part, so the position of the extraction port is recognized. Thus, it is possible to obtain a safe takeout of the regular tablet.

  In the case where a sealing functional portion is formed between the outer peripheral surface portion of the storage cylinder portion located below the take-out port and the lower end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion, a reliable sealing of the container is obtained. Therefore, the shaped tablet can be safely stored and held.

  In the case where the opening is opened in the cylindrical wall portion of the outer cylindrical body, the opening that can be visually recognized as the appearance of the container functions as a substantial “extraction port”, so the position of the opening is recognized. On the other hand, a safe take-out operation can be obtained by taking out the shaped tablet.

  If the seal function part is formed between the outer peripheral surface part of the storage cylinder part directly under the outlet and the inner peripheral surface part of the cylinder wall part immediately above the opening part, it is not affected by the opening part. Since the container can be securely sealed with the outer cylinder assembled to the inner cylinder up to the screwing limit, the shaped tablet can be safely stored and held.

  In the case where the seal function part is composed of a smooth seal inner peripheral surface formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder wall part and a seal protrusion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the storage cylinder part, the seal protrusion and the seal Since reliable close contact over the entire circumference with the inner peripheral surface can be obtained, a reliable and strong sealing action by the sealing function portion can be obtained.

  For those provided with stopper ridges and locking ridges, the screwing operation of the outer cylinder relative to the inner cylinder can be restricted to a position where the regular tablet can be taken out from the takeout port. The screwing operation with respect to the outer cylinder body can be regulated within an appropriate range, and thereby it is possible to obtain a safe screwed assembly between the outer cylinder body and the inner cylinder body and to obtain a handling operation without waste. it can.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The cylindrical container for regular tablets of the present invention is configured as a vertically long cylindrical container by a combination of an outer cylindrical body 1 and an inner cylindrical body 9 made of synthetic resin, and the outer cylindrical body 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 6) is The upper end of the cylindrical cylindrical wall portion 4 is covered with the top wall 2, and the inner cylindrical body 9 (see FIGS. 1 and 6) is shaped like a thick disk. The tablet 18 is stored in a stacked shape, and a gripping portion 15 is provided in a suspended manner at the lower end of a bottomed cylindrical storage tube portion 10 on which the outer cylinder 1 is covered.

  On the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion 4 of the outer cylindrical body 1, stopper protrusions 6, screw threads 5 and a smooth seal inner peripheral surface 8 are formed in order from the top, and on the lower surface of the top wall 2, A plurality of thin buffer ribs 3 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 6) are provided in a hanging manner to prevent the stored regular tablet 18 from colliding with the top wall 2.

  The storage cylinder portion 10 of the inner cylinder body 9 is formed with a locking ridge 11, a screw groove 12, an extraction port 13, and a seal ridge 14 in order from the top. And the screwing limit position of the tube wall portion 4 with respect to the storage tube portion 10 is set, and the screw groove 12 is screwed with the screw 5 so that the tube wall portion with respect to the storage tube portion 10 is engaged. 4 is achieved, and the seal protrusion 14 is combined with the seal inner peripheral surface 8 to form a seal function portion.

  The take-out port 13 (see FIGS. 4 and 9) has a height that is slightly larger than the thickness of the regular tablet 18 at the lower end of the bottomed storage cylinder portion 10 and is large enough to allow the regular tablet 18 to pass through. Therefore, the shaped tablets 18 facing the take-out port 13 are only those positioned at the lowest position in the stacked state stored in the storage tube portion 10, and the shaped tablets 18 are taken out one by one. Will be.

  The stored fixed tablet 18 is taken out from the closed state in which the outlet 13 is closed by the cylindrical wall portion 4 of the outer cylindrical body 1 by rotating the outer cylindrical body 1 in the screwing direction with respect to the inner cylindrical body 9. Displacement is thereby performed, and the take-out port 13 is opened (FIGS. 3, 4, 8, and 9), and the container is achieved in an open state.

  If the container is opened, the container is tilted so that the container outlet 13 faces downward, and only the fixed tablet 18 located at the lowest position is slid out. At this time, the fixed tablet to be extracted is taken out. When the resistance to the sliding movement of 18 is strong, a light impact such as lightly hitting the container against the palm may be given to promote the sliding movement of the regular tablet 18.

  In the case of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the seal inner peripheral surface 8 (see FIG. 3) is formed at the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall portion 4, and the seal protrusion 14 ( 3) is formed at the lower end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the storage cylinder portion 10 positioned lower than the take-out port 13.

  In addition, the grip portion 15 is formed with a mark portion 16 (see FIG. 2) having a flat wall structure at a portion located immediately below the take-out port 13 so that the take-out port 13 is visible when the container is closed. Even in the absence, the position of the take-out port 13 can be recognized using the mark portion 16 as a guide.

  Further, since the storage cylinder portion 10 has a bottomed cylindrical shape by a bottom plate provided integrally (see FIG. 1), after storing the shaped tablet 18 in the storage cylinder portion 10, the outer cylinder body 1 with respect to the inner cylinder body 9. Will be screwed together.

  In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the cylindrical wall portion 4 positioned below the take-out port 13 in a state where the outer cylindrical body 1 is assembled to the inner cylindrical body 9 up to the screwing limit. An opening 7 having a size that allows passage of the regular tablet 18 is formed in the portion, and the opening 7 is opposed to the take-out port 13 by the upward displacement due to the screwing rotation of the cylindrical wall 4 (see FIG. 8 and FIG. 9).

  Since the shaped tablet 18 to be taken out is taken out from the opening 7, the user visually picks up the shaped tablet 18 by visually recognizing the opening 7 to take out the shaped tablet 18 in the defective direction. There is no fear of performing the defective take-out process of the regular tablet 18.

  The illustrated opening position of the opening 7 (see FIG. 6) is such that the cylinder wall 4 and the storage cylinder are located with respect to the take-out port 13 in a state where the cylinder wall 4 is assembled to the storage cylinder 10 up to the screwing limit. The opening 10 is set at a position immediately below the pitch of the portion 10 by screwing and coupling, so that the cylindrical wall portion 4 is rotated once in the screwing direction with respect to the storage tube portion 10. It is possible to accurately face the take-out port 13 (see FIG. 8).

  Further, when the cylindrical wall portion 4 is screwed and rotated with respect to the storage cylindrical portion 10 so that the opening portion 7 of the extraction port 13 is opposed, the stopper protrusion is formed when the positions of the extraction port 13 and the opening portion 7 coincide with each other. By locking the strips 6 and the locking projections 11 (see FIG. 8), the alignment operation of the opening 7 with respect to the take-out port 13 becomes simple and accurate.

  The seal inner peripheral surface 8 (see FIG. 7) is formed on the inner peripheral surface portion of the cylindrical wall portion 4 immediately above the opening 7, and the seal protrusion 14 (see FIG. 7) is directly below the take-out port 13. It is formed on the outer peripheral surface portion of the storage cylinder portion 10.

  In this case, the sealing function part constituted by the seal inner peripheral surface 8 and the seal protrusion 14 can seal the container without being affected by the opening 7.

  Furthermore, since the bottom of the storage cylinder part 10 is formed by a top-bottomed cylindrical bottom plug 17 (see FIG. 6) that is closely fitted and fixed to the lower end of the storage cylinder part 10, With the outer cylinder 1 assembled to the screwing limit, the shaped tablet 18 can be accommodated in the accommodating cylinder portion 10, and then the bottom plug 17 can be assembled into a stopper shape. The automatic filling and sealing process of the tablet 18 is facilitated.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the sizes of the take-out port 13 and the opening 7 are set corresponding to the size of one regular tablet 18, but the sizes of the take-out port 13 and the open portion 7 are not limited thereto. There is no limitation, and for example, it is possible to set the size corresponding to the size of the two shaped tablets 18 that are overlapped. In this case, the two shaped tablets 18 can be taken out at a time.

  Further, the shape of the regular tablet 18 is not limited to a thick disk shape, and it may be a regular shape that can be slidably displaced.

  As described above, the cylindrical container for the regular tablets in the present invention takes out the regular tablets stored in a stacked form by sliding and displacing them in a regulated state, so that the regular tablets to be taken out do not jump out. Yes, a wide range of usage can be expected as a technique for safely taking out the desired number of fixed-form items.
