Medicine box counter

Abstract

Disclosed is a medicine box counter, which comprise a case body, comprising a bottom seat, an upper cap movably combined with the case body, and a plurality of resilient elements disposed between the bottom seat and the upper cap. As such, the medicine and the bottom seat are directly combined so that when the user exerts a pressure upon the upper cap in the use course, the resilient elements may be indirectly extruded and thus the bottom seat triggers the count mechanism to count, and after the pressure on the upper cap is released, the upper cap automatically restores to its original position by means of the resilient elements, whereby achieving the efficacies of rapid assembly, convenient use, effective medicine-taken count and reduced manufacturing cost are provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention pertains to a medicine box counter, and particularly to a medicine box counter possessing the efficacies of rapid assembly, convenient use, efficient medicine use counting and reduced manufacturing cost.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]With the environmental changes brought about from the green house effect, human respiratory is adversly affected, increasing the occurrence of some lung diseases, such as asthma. Aside from the environmental factors, asthma may be inherited. This disease has the features of trachea inflammation, trachea hypersensitive reaction, and reversible trachea contraction. An efficient way to cure asthma is conducted by inhaling. Over the decades, a lot of inhalator designs have been brought onto the market, enabling the asthma patients to inhale medicine to control discomfort brought from asthma. The medicine inhaling manner may have the main advantages of (1) directing the medicine to respiratory organs suc...

Benefits of technology

[0012]It is an object of the present invention to provide a medicine box counter, in which a medicine and a bottom seat are directly combined so that when a user exerts a pressure upon an upper cap in the course of use, resilient elements may be indirectly extruded and thus the bottom seat triggers a count mechanism to count, and after the pressure on the upper cap is released, the upper cap automatically restores to its original position by means of the resilient elements, and thus the efficacies of rapid assembly, convenient use, effective medicine-taken count and reduced manufacturing cost are achieved.

Problems solved by technology

However, the pressing force needs to be large enough to set the medicine within the steel bottle off, imposing a challenge to small children.

However, the DPI requires even a small child to have a relatively large inhaling force.

The DPI is easier to inhale but requires a larger inhaling force, and this generally places an age limitation on the user, such as children under the age of five.

However, it still has the issue of poor storage capability in a humid climate.

However, this involves a more complicated device.

However, in the process of pressing, the resilient force of the spring may cause inconvenience for the user and a converter needs to be replaced in the case of medication canister of different bottle body size being used.

However, these mechanical or electronic MPIs have the disadvantage of excessive volume, inconvenient pressing and accidental discharge, resulting in more difficult use.
