Benefits of technology

The present invention is a medicine box counter that combines a medicine and a bottom seat in a unique way. When the user presses the upper cap, the resilient elements in the bottom seat trigger a count mechanism to count the medication. When the pressure is released, the upper cap automatically restores to its original position using the resilient elements. The invention is designed for easy assembly, convenient use, effective medicine-taken count, and reduced manufacturing cost.

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.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which are a schematic diagram of an outlook according to the present invention, an exploded schematic diagram of the present invention, a schematic diagram of a cross sectional state according to the present invention, and a schematic diagram of an upward view according to the present invention, respectively. As shown, the medicine box counter comprises a case body 1 and a count mechanism 2.

[0026]The case body 1 comprises a bottom seat 11, an upper cap 12, and resilient elements 13. The upper cap 12 is movably combined with the case body 11. The resilient elements 13 are disposed between the bottom seat 11 and the upper cap 12. The bottom seat 11 has a first face having a protruding rod 14 disposed thereon. The protruding rod 14 is electrically conductive and drives a second triggering element, as will be described below, to operate. The bottom seat 11 further has a first sleeved area 111 and a second sleeved area 112 communicati...

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...
