However, the conventional tablet container has the following problems.
That is, in the tablet container described in Patent Document 1, the tablet is pushed outward from the opening of the container body by the rotation of the rotating member, but when the rotating member is rotated more than necessary, two or more tablets are discharged. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully rotate the rotating member.

  Moreover, in the tablet container disclosed by patent document 2, the tablet to accommodate is always pressed upwards with the spring force of the spring provided in the bottom part of the container main body. Therefore, there is a possibility that the tablet may be damaged due to a large load, and there is room for improvement in that respect. Moreover, in the case of a container using a spring as in Patent Document 2, there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is a tablet container that can reliably discharge tablets one by one with a simple structure and can suppress the load on the stored tablets. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, the tablet container according to the present invention is a tablet container that contains a troche-shaped perforated tablet and can be discharged one by one in use, has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a container shaft. A container body for arranging and storing a plurality of tablets along the container body, and a container body movably mounted along the container axis and capable of opening and closing the opening of the container body to form a discharge port for discharging the tablets. A discharge cap and a support column that is erected from the bottom of the container body toward the opening and that is inserted into the holes of the plurality of tablets, with the opening of the container body opened by the discharge cap A discharge space having the size of a tablet is formed between the opening of the container body and the discharge port is located facing the discharge space.

  In the present invention, when the discharge cap is opened when taking out the tablet, a tablet discharge space is formed in the discharge cap between the opening of the container body. By tilting the tablet container so that the discharge space is directed downward, one tablet contained in the container body enters the discharge space. For example, by swinging out the tablet container, The tablet can be discharged and discharged from the discharge port facing the discharge space.

  In this way, the discharge cap is moved along the container axis to provide a discharge space for one tablet. Since two or more tablets do not enter the discharge space, the tablets are reliably discharged one by one. can do. In addition, by tilting the tablet container upside down, the tablet can enter the discharge space located outside the container body, so that it is not necessary to push up using a spring or the like as in the prior art, and the structure is simplified. There is an advantage. And since it becomes the structure where the load by pressing force, such as a spring, is not applied to the tablet accommodated, the damage of the tablet resulting from the load can be suppressed, and it becomes possible to ensure the quality of a tablet.

  Moreover, in the tablet container of this invention, it is preferable that the front-end | tip part by the side of the opening part of a support | pillar consists of flexible resin, and protrudes in discharge space.

In this case, when opening the discharge cap and taking out the tablet, the tip of the column is locked in the hole of one tablet that has been turned upside down and entered the discharge space. It can suppress that the tablet located in the discharge space falls easily from the discharge port. And since the tip part of the column is made of a flexible resin such as an elastomer, by swinging down the tablet container as described above, the column of the column made of the flexible resin can be driven by the tablet loading load discharged from the discharge port. The tip portion is elastically deformed, the portion protruding into the discharge space of the tip portion is crushed, and the discharge passage of the tablet is secured and discharged. That is, the tablet can be configured not to fall from the discharge port simply by opening the discharge cap and tilting the container body upside down.
In addition, when the discharge cap is closed, it is possible to bring the tip protruding into the discharge space into contact with the discharge cap and bulge outward in the radial direction of the container body. The tip can be brought into close contact with the hole of the tablet to be formed. Therefore, in a state where the tablet container is not used, that is, in a state where the tablet is accommodated up to the tip portion of the support column, the tablet becomes difficult to move within the container body, and damage can be suppressed.

  Moreover, in the tablet container of this invention, it is preferable that the support | pillar has an unevenness | corrugation formed in the outer peripheral surface.

  In this case, since the unevenness formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support column becomes a resistance portion in contact with the hole of the tablet, there is an advantage that the movement of the tablet in the container main body along the container axis is suppressed, and thereby the tablet is damaged. Can be prevented.

  In the tablet container of the present invention, the tablet that has entered the discharge space is discharged from the container body at a position facing the discharge port with the discharge space sandwiched in the state where the opening of the container body is opened by the discharge cap. Extrusion troughs that are pushed out from the outlet may be provided.

  In this case, it is possible to assist the movement of the tablet in the discharge direction by extruding the tablet that has entered the discharge space toward the discharge port side manually or by using gravity or the like. Can be reliably discharged one tablet at a time. And even if it is a case where a tablet is caught in discharge space and it is difficult to discharge | emit, it becomes possible to take out a tablet easily.

  Further, in the tablet container of the present invention, it is preferable that the extrusion punch is provided at the other end of the connecting piece fixed to the bottom of the container body, and swings like a pendulum with one end as a fulcrum.

  In the present invention, when taking out the tablet, if the tablet container is shaken with the discharge port facing downward, the push-out bar is directed toward the tablet side accommodated in the container body with one end on the bottom side of the connecting piece as a fulcrum. The tablet can be pushed out toward the discharge port by the pushing force at that time. In this case, an operation of pushing the pushing rod with a finger is unnecessary, and a simple structure using gravity can be achieved.

  Moreover, in the tablet container of this invention, it is preferable that the discharge cap is provided with the opening hole for pushing an extrusion wrinkle toward an extrusion direction in the side wall part on the opposite side to the extrusion direction of an extrusion wrinkle.

  In this case, the tablet can be surely discharged from the discharge port by inserting a finger through the opening hole and pushing the pushing pad toward the discharge direction of the tablet.

  According to the tablet container of the present invention, tablets can be reliably discharged one by one with a simple structure that only opens the discharge cap. And since it becomes possible to suppress the load with respect to the tablet accommodated, damage to a tablet can be suppressed.

  Embodiments of a tablet container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the tablet container 1 of the present embodiment is a container that accommodates a plurality of tablets 10 shown in FIG. 2 having a troche-shaped hole and that can discharge each tablet 10 one by one in use. .
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tablet container 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, a container main body 2 that houses a plurality of tablets 10 arranged along the container axis O, and a container axis O in the container main body 2. The discharge cap 3 is mounted so that the opening 2a of the container body 2 can be opened and closed, and the discharge port 31 for discharging the tablet 10 is formed, and the bottom 2b of the container body 2 extends from the bottom 2b to the opening 2a. And a support column 4 inserted into the holes 10 a of the plurality of tablets 10.

  Here, the container body 2 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape as described above, and the discharge cap 3 is formed in a topped cylindrical shape. When the discharge cap 3 is attached, these 2 and 3 are coaxial with the common axis. Has been placed. Hereinafter, this common axis is referred to as the container axis O, the discharge cap 3 side along the container axis O direction is referred to as the upper side, the bottom 2b side of the container body 2 is referred to as the lower side, and the direction orthogonal to the container axis O is the radial direction. The direction that goes around the container axis O is called the circumferential direction.

  The container main body 2 has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tablet 10, and a column 4 extends upward along the container axis O on the bottom 2 b. On the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the container main body 2, a pair of annular convex portions 21 and 22 that extend over the entire circumferential direction and project outward in the radial direction are provided with a space therebetween in the vertical direction. . Here, of the pair of annular convex portions, the upper side is referred to as an upper annular convex portion 21, and the lower side is referred to as a lower annular convex portion 22.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the support column 4 has an outer diameter d slightly smaller than the inner diameter D of the hole 10 a of the tablet 10, and is positioned below the opening end 2 c of the container body 2 (on the bottom 2 b side). The length dimension is set. Concavities and convexities are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support column 4 over the entire length. The unevenness is provided over the entire vertical direction, and may be formed, for example, in a screw shape (spiral shape).

  An elastic projecting member 5 (front end) made of a flexible resin such as an elastomer and projecting into a discharge space R described later is provided at the front end 4a of the support column 4 on the opening 2a side. The elastic projecting member 5 has a base end fixed to the distal end 4a of the support column 4, and has a substantially dome shape that gradually and gradually tapers upward. Note that the inside of the elastic protruding member 5 is hollow, and will be described in detail later. However, when the tablet container 1 is swung down when the tablet 10 is taken out, the elastic protruding member 5 is elastically deformed by the shaking load generated in the tablet 10. .

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the discharge cap 3 includes a top wall portion 32 and a peripheral wall portion 33 provided continuously with the outer peripheral edge of the top wall portion 32. The peripheral wall portion 33 has an inner diameter that is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the upper annular convex portion 21 formed on the container body 2, and a lower end locking portion 33 a whose lower end protrudes radially inward is provided over the entire circumference. It has been. The discharge cap 3 is mounted such that the lower end locking portion 33a is slidable in the vertical direction in a range between the upper annular convex portion 21 and the lower annular convex portion 22 of the container body 2. The sliding distance of the discharge cap 3 at this time corresponds to the opening width C shown in FIG. The opening width C is determined from the thickness B of the tablet 10 </ b> A located in the discharge space R and an arbitrary gap S between the thickness B and the opening end 2 c of the container body 2.

  That is, the upward movement of the discharge cap 3 is restricted by the lower end locking portion 33a coming into contact with the lower portion of the upper annular convex portion 21. At this time, the opening 2a of the container body 2 is opened by the discharge cap 3 (see FIG. 3 is the opening position P1). A discharge space R corresponding to the size of one tablet 10 is formed between the opening position P1 and the opening 2a of the container body 2. That is, only one tablet can enter the discharge space R. The discharge port 31 is located on the peripheral wall 33 so as to face the discharge space R.

  On the other hand, the downward movement of the discharge cap 3 is restricted by the lower end locking portion 33a coming into contact with the upper portion of the lower annular convex portion 22, and at this time, the opening 2a of the container body 2 is closed by the discharge cap 3 ( The closed position P2) shown in FIG. A recess 32 a is formed at the position of the container axis O on the back surface of the top wall portion 32 of the discharge cap 3. Therefore, when the discharge cap 3 is in the closed position P2, the protruding end 5a of the elastic protruding member 5 is fitted in the recess 32.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the elastic protruding member 5 has a length dimension A from the tip 4 a to the protruding end 5 a of the support column 4 that is larger than the gap S and half the thickness B of the tablet 10. Is set to be smaller. That is, S <A <(B / 2).

  The position of the protruding end 5 a of the elastic protruding member 5 can be represented by a distance E from the top wall portion 32 of the discharge cap 3 to the protruding end 5 a of the elastic protruding member 5. This distance E is set so as to be larger than ½ of the thickness B of the tablet 10 and smaller than the thickness B of the tablet 10. That is, (B / 2) <E <B.

According to the tablet container 1 by this Embodiment demonstrated above, there exist the following effects.
That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the tablet container 1 of the present embodiment, when the discharge cap 3 is opened when taking out the tablet 10, the tablet is placed between the opening 2 a of the container body 2 in the discharge cap 3. Ten discharge spaces R are formed. As shown in FIG. 5, one tablet 10 accommodated in the container main body 2 enters the discharge space R by tilting the tablet container 1 so that the discharge space R faces downward. By swinging out the container 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the tablet 10 in the discharge space R can be discharged from the discharge port 31 provided in the discharge cap 3 and taken out.

  In this way, the discharge cap 3 is moved upward along the container axis O to provide a discharge space R for one tablet, and two or more tablets do not enter the discharge space R. The tablets 10 can be reliably discharged one by one. In addition, by tilting the tablet container 1 upside down, the tablet 10 can enter the discharge space R located outside the container body 2, so that it is not necessary to push up using a spring or the like as in the prior art. Has the advantage of being simple. And since it becomes the structure where the load by pressing force, such as a spring, is not applied to the tablet 10 accommodated, the damage of the tablet 10 resulting from the load can be suppressed, and the quality of the tablet 10 can be ensured. Become.

  In addition, when the discharge cap 3 is opened and the tablet 10 is taken out, the elastic protruding member 5 of the support column 4 is locked in the hole 10a of the tablet 10 that has entered the discharge space R with the tablet container 1 turned upside down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tablet 10 positioned in the discharge space R from easily falling from the discharge port 31. And since the elastic protrusion member 5 of the support | pillar 4 is formed with flexible resin, such as an elastomer, for example, by swinging down the tablet container 1 as mentioned above, by the ejection load of the tablet 10 discharged | emitted from the discharge port 31 The elastic protruding member 5 of the support column 4 made of a flexible resin is elastically deformed, the portion protruding into the discharge space R of the elastic protruding member 5 is crushed, and the discharge passage of the tablet 10 is secured and discharged. . That is, the tablet 10 can be configured not to fall from the discharge port 31 simply by opening the discharge cap 3 and tilting the container body 2 upside down.

  Further, when the discharge cap 3 is closed, the elastic protruding member 5 protruding into the discharge space R can be brought into contact with the discharge cap 3 and bulged outward in the radial direction of the container body 2. The elastic protruding member 5 can be brought into close contact with the hole 10a of the tablet 10 accommodated in the container body 2. Therefore, in a state where the tablet container 1 is not used, that is, in a state where the tablet 10 is accommodated up to the distal end portion of the support column 4, the tablet 10 becomes difficult to move in the container body 2, and breakage can be suppressed.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, since the unevenness | corrugation is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the support | pillar 4, since the unevenness | corrugation becomes a resistance part which touches the hole 10a of the tablet 10, the tablet 10 in the container main body 2 is a container axis | shaft. There is an advantage that the movement along O is suppressed, whereby the tablet 10 can be prevented from being damaged.

As described above, in the tablet container 1 according to the present embodiment, the tablets 10 can be reliably discharged one by one with a simple structure in which the discharge cap 3 is simply opened.
And since it becomes possible to suppress the load to the tablet 10 accommodated, there exists an effect that damage to the tablet 10 can be suppressed.

  Next, another embodiment of the tablet container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same or similar members and parts as those in the first embodiment described above. A configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be described.

(Second Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 7, the tablet container 1 </ b> A according to the second embodiment has the function of assisting the discharge of the tablet 10 discharged from the discharge port 31 of the discharge cap 3. 1 (see FIG. 2).
In other words, the container body 2A of the tablet container 1A has a discharge port sandwiching the discharge space R of the discharge cap 3A with the opening 2a of the container body 2A opened by the discharge cap 3A (open position P1 shown in FIG. 8). An extrusion bar 6 for pushing out the tablet 10 that has entered the discharge space R from the discharge port 31 is provided at a position opposite to the discharge space R. Here, in FIGS. 8 and 9, the tablet that has entered the discharge space R when the tablet container 1A is tilted upside down is denoted by reference numeral 10A.

  The container body 2 </ b> A has a circular or flat oval cross-sectional shape, the support column 4 is arranged at a position shifted from the container axis O, and the storage portions 23 of the plurality of tablets 10 arranged in the vertical direction along the support column 4. And a hollow portion 24 facing the housing portion 23. Similar to the first embodiment, an upper annular convex portion 21 and a lower annular convex portion 22 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 2 </ b> A with an interval in the vertical direction.

  The extrusion trough 6 is made of a cylindrical member, is located above the opening edge 2c of the container body 2A, and is the same height as the discharge space R formed at the open position P1 (see FIG. 8) of the discharge cap 3A. The lower end 62a is provided at the upper end 62b of the connecting piece 62 fixed to the support base 61 provided at the bottom 2b of the container body 2A. One end 6a of the extrusion basket 6 is an end portion that presses the tablet 10A entering the discharge space R and pushes it toward the discharge port 31 side.

  The support base 61 is placed in a range over substantially the entire bottom portion 2b of the container body 2A, and is provided through the support column 4. The connecting piece 62 is a long thin plate member having a strength capable of supporting the extruded rod 6 from below. The connecting piece 62 has a lower end 62 a fixed to the outer peripheral side of the support base 61, and an upper end 62 b fixed to a substantially intermediate portion between the one end 6 a and the other end 6 b of the extrusion rod 6. And the part near the other end 6b of the pushing bar 6 is located on the opening end 2c of the container main body 2A.

As shown in FIG. 8, the discharge cap 3A is formed with a bulging portion 32c in which a part of the top wall portion 32 bulges upward. The bulging portion 32c is in a posture in which the container 1A is in an upright state, and the pushing bar 6 is accommodated in a space 32d formed on the back side of the bulging portion 32c.
Further, the discharge cap 3A is provided with an opening hole 33b for manually pushing the pushing rod 6 in the pushing direction in the side wall portion of the peripheral wall portion 33 opposite to the pushing direction of the pushing rod 6.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the second embodiment, the tablet 10 </ b> A that has entered the discharge space R is pushed out toward the discharge port 31 by manually pushing the pusher 6 toward the discharge port 31. Movement in the discharge direction can be assisted, and the tablets 10A can be reliably discharged one by one. And even if it is a case where it is hard to discharge | emit because the tablet 10A is caught in the discharge space R, it becomes possible to take out the tablet 10 easily.

  Further, the tablet 10A can be reliably discharged from the discharge port 31 by inserting a finger through the opening hole 33b of the discharge cap 3 and pushing the pusher 6 toward the discharge direction of the tablet 10A.

(Third embodiment)
The tablet container 1B according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is opened in the tablet container 1A (see FIG. 7) of the second embodiment, and the container body 2 is tilted upside down as shown in FIG. The pressing spring 7 is provided to hold the tablet 10B positioned second (most side of the opening 2a) from the tablet 10A positioned in the discharge space R.

  The holding spring 7 is branched from a position near the support base 61 of the connecting piece 62, and the outer peripheral surface of the tablet 10B located closest to the opening 2a in the upper holding section 7a is applied with a weak force from the side (from the radial direction). It touches. Further, when the pushing bar 6 is pushed out together with the connecting piece 62, the holding spring 7 is in a direction in which the connecting piece 62 comes close to the tablet 10 accommodated with the end 62a on the support base 61 side as a fulcrum as shown in FIG. Since it is inclined in the direction of arrow F, the holding spring 7 is further pushed toward the tablet 10B by the connecting piece 62. That is, the pressing force to the tablet 10B located on the opening 2a side by the pressing portion 7a is increased, and the tablet 10B is held at that position.

  In this case, when the tablet 10A is discharged, even when the tablet container 1B is tilted with the discharge port 31 downward and the tablet 10A in the discharge space R is discharged and taken out, the most opening portion stored in the storage portion 23 Since the tablet 10B arranged on the 2a side is pressed from the side by the pressing spring 7, it is possible to prevent the tablet 10B from falling into the empty discharge space R. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second tablet from being accidentally discharged.

Note that the holding spring 7 does not need to be in contact with the tablet 10B, and is configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the tablet 10B that is positioned closest to the opening 2a from the side by pushing the pushing bar 6 in the discharge direction. It does not matter.
In the present embodiment, for example, by making the container body 2A transparent, it can be visually recognized that the next tablet 10 will not fall into the empty discharge space R even if the container body 2A is turned upside down. Even better.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of the tablet container based on this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the meaning, it can change suitably.

  For example, in the present embodiment, an elastic projecting member having an approximately dome shape that gradually tapers gradually toward the upper side is adopted, but the elastic protruding member is not limited to this shape, and other shapes are used. It is also possible. For example, a flat shape like the elastic protruding member 5A shown in FIG. 13 (a), a flat shape like the elastic protruding member 5B shown in FIG. A hollow member having a circular cross section can be used as in the elastic protruding member 5C shown in FIG. In short, any shape that can be elastically deformed by the swinging load of the tablet 10 located in the discharge space R and discharged from the discharge port 31 is acceptable.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the elastic protruding member 5 is provided at the tip of the column 4 and protrudes into the discharge space R, but is not limited thereto. That is, the structure in which the tip of the support column 4 (the elastic protruding member 5) does not protrude into the discharge space R may be used, or the elastic protruding member 5 may be omitted.

  Further, in the second and third embodiments, the tablet 10A that has entered the discharge space R is manually pushed out toward the discharge port 31 by pushing the pushing bar 6 toward the discharge port 31 so that the tablet 10 moves in the discharge direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the extrusion rod 6 may be pushed out using gravity. Specifically, when pushing the extruded punch 6 by gravity, the extruded punch 6 is configured to swing in a pendulum manner with the lower end 62a of the connecting piece 62 as a fulcrum, so that when the tablet 10A is taken out, the discharge port 31 is opened. When the tablet container 1 is shaken down in a state of being directed downward, the extrusion punch 6 falls in the direction of pushing the tablet 10 side in the discharge direction with the lower end 62a of the connecting piece 62 as a fulcrum, and the tablet 10A is discharged by the pushing force at that time. It can be discharged toward the outlet 31. In this case, an operation of pushing the extrusion rod 6 with a finger using the opening hole 33b becomes unnecessary, and a simple structure using gravity can be achieved. Therefore, the opening hole 33b formed in the discharge cap 3 can be omitted.

  In addition, it is possible to appropriately replace the components in the above-described embodiments with known components without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
