[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a plastic medicine bottle (100) having a catch according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body part (110), a cover part (120), and a catch (130).

[0025] A plastic medicine bottle (100) having a stopper according to one embodiment of the present invention may be injection molded from a transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin material, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and may be made of any material capable of containing medicine liquid.

[0026] The main body (110) forms a liquid space in which a liquid medicine is received, and the cover part (120), described later, is connected at the top.

[0027] More specifically, the main body (110) includes a first module (111) and a second module (112).

[0028] The first module (111) forms a liquid medicine space and is connected to the second module (112). A scale for checking the amount of liquid medicine may be marked on the outer surface of the first module (111).

[0029] The second module (112) provides a space to which the cover portion (120) is joined and is connected to the first module (111). A stopper (130), which will be described later, is formed on the outer surface of this second module (112).

[0030] More specifically, the second module (112) includes an upper portion (112a) and a lower portion (112b).

[0031] The upper part (112a) is formed with screw threads so that it can be coupled to the cover part (120) in a screw manner, and a locking projection (130) is coupled to the lower surface.

[0032] The lower part (112b) has a wider width than the upper part (112a), and a stopper (130) is attached to the upper surface.

[0033] Since the lower part (112b) has a wider width than the upper part (112a), the catch (130) can be stably supported, and the breakage of the catch (130) is prevented.

[0034] The cover portion (120) seals the liquid medicine space and is coupled to the main body portion (110). This cover portion (120) can be coupled to the main body portion (110) to seal the liquid medicine space.

[0035] More specifically, the cover portion (120) includes an upper cap (121) and a lower cap (122).

[0036] The upper cap (121) is coupled to the lower cap (122) to prevent the liquid medicine from leaking out.

[0037] The lower cap (122) allows an appropriate amount of liquid medicine to be discharged to the outside, and the lower side is connected to the second module (112) of the main body (110), and the upper side is connected to the upper cap.

[0038] The stopper (130) is provided to be supported by the mounting portion of the dispensing machine and is formed to protrude from the outer surface of the main body.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 5, according to the stopper (130), the medicine bottle can be stably supported by the mounting part of the dispensing machine, so that when filling the medicine liquid using the dispensing machine, the medicine liquid is prevented from leaking out.

[0040] A stopper (130) can be formed in the second module (112).

[0041] Additionally, the stopper (130) may have a width equal to or greater than the width of the cover portion (120). According to this stopper (130), shaking is suppressed in the combined state with the cover portion (120), and the cover portion (120) can be firmly supported.

[0042] Additionally, the catch (130) may be formed protruding from the outer surface of the main body (110) and the edge may be rounded. According to this catch (130), it is possible to prevent injury to the user's hand or skin.

[0043] Additionally, the stopper (130) is formed between the upper part (112a) and the lower part (112b) and can be supported by the lower part (112b). According to this stopper (130), the stopper (130) is supported by the lower part (112b), so the medicine bottle is supported more stably.
