Benefits of technology

The present invention is a tablet container that can hold multiple tablets and manage their dispensing automatically. It is designed to be a low-cost solution. The invention includes a claw mechanism that allows the tablets to be easily dispensed. The mechanism consists of a claw part, a claw receiving part, and a resilient part that can disengage the claws. The invention solves the problem of the conventional CR mechanism that requires a significant amount of force to activate. Therefore, the invention provides a solution that is easy to use and can be released with minimal effort.

Problems solved by technology

However, a packaging formed by improving the “PTP (Press-Through Package) Packaging”, such as the adherence packaging by MWV Co., the monitoring packaging by Confrerie Co. and the like, is costly.

first embodiment

[0078]The electronic device plate 221 further includes a circuit configured to detect (judge) dispensing (passage) of a tablet based on occurrence of electric connection between the flexibly deformable wire 223m and the switch wire 221s, and a data recording unit for recording the detection result. Also in this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, there is provided a time logger 30 configured to record a detection result about occurrence of dispensing of a tablet, along with time data.

[0079]Next, an operation of the tablet dispensing and managing container 210 in this embodiment is described.

[0080]Similarly to the first embodiment, in order that the tablets are dispensed one by one from the tablet dispensing and managing container 210, the tablet dispensing and managing container 210 is held by a patient in such a manner that the outlet 213 of the lower case 212 is located below. At this time, one tablet reaches the dispensing standby space 215 by the tablet guide function...

third embodiment

[0093]Next, FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view showing a structure of the tablet dispensing and managing container in the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of the tablet dispensing and managing container of FIG. 9. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the tablet dispensing and managing container 310 in this embodiment is provided with, in place of the rib 27, a substantially annular rib 327 which differs from the rib 27 in arrangement and shape. In addition, a CR mechanism 330 is disposed near to the substantially annular rib 327.

[0094]In this embodiment, the other structure is substantially the same as the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. In FIGS. 9 and 10, a structure corresponding to a structure of the first embodiment is shown by the same reference number, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0095]The CR mechanism 330 in this embodiment includes: a claw part 331 disposed on an upper case 11 to project toward a lower case...

Abstract

An upper case with a stopper projection that extends downward between an outlet and a dispensing standby space, in a situation where a container body is closed. A lower case with a pusher member that is positioned on a side opposed to the stopper projection with respect to the dispensing standby space, in a situation where the container body is closed, the pusher member being configured to, during an operation for opening the upper case, push a tablet located in the dispensing standby space toward the outlet. During the operation for opening the upper case, the stopper projection is configured to get over a side surface of the tablet located in the dispensing standby space, and is configured to stop an outlet-side surface of a tablet succeeding to the tablet having been located in the dispensing standby space. A sensor unit detects passage of one tablet to the outlet.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a tablet container capable of containing a plurality of tablets together.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Various tablets (the expression “tablets” includes capsules in this specification) are used as pharmaceutical products. Some tablets are commercially available in drug stores and other tablets are prescribed in hospitals or the like.[0003]Expected medicinal effect of tablets prescribed in hospitals or the like can be obtained by obeying a dosing instruction (also hours between doses depending on a medicine type). However, recent surveys in Europe and in the United States show that the dose compliance rate is generally low, although it depends on a medicine type. The average dose compliance rate is about 50% even in developed countries such as Europe and the United states, and is 30% level in developing countries. Although there is no science-based data for Japan, the dose compliance rate in Japan is estimated as 40 to 50%.[0004]In the med...
