Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging, specifically a one-handed easy-open medicine bottle cap. Background Technology

[0002] A medicine bottle is a container for holding liquid medicine or pills. It has a cap on top so that people can open the cap to take out the medicine and take it. After taking the medicine, they can close the cap to store the medicine.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0004] However, most existing medicine bottle caps are plug-in or screw-on, requiring both hands to open. This is very difficult for people with disabilities who have only one arm or those who experience sudden illness that causes weakness in their hands. Failure to open the cap in time may lead to delayed treatment or even endanger life, posing a great danger. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a one-handed easy-open medicine bottle cap to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a one-handed easy-open medicine bottle cap, comprising a medicine bottle and a cap body, wherein the cap body is placed on the top of the medicine bottle, and the cap body includes a fixed cap and a movable cap. The bottom of the fixed cap is threadedly connected to the top of the medicine bottle, and a through groove is provided in the middle of the fixed cap. The bottom of the inner walls on both sides of the through groove is provided with elastic buckles. The bottom of the movable cap is fixedly installed with locking blocks on both sides. The movable cap is engaged and installed inside the through groove, and the locking blocks are engaged and connected with the elastic buckles.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, the two sides of the bottom of the movable bottle cap are fixed by engaging with the elastic buckle on the fixed bottle cap through the locking block. The movable bottle cap can be opened and closed by pressing down on the two grooves on the movable bottle cap with the thumb and index finger of one hand.

[0008] The movable bottle cap is a circular plate. Grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the movable bottle cap. The grooves correspond to the positions of the locking blocks. A handle is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the movable bottle cap. The handle is hourglass shaped.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the handle allows for easy lifting of the movable bottle cap after releasing the locking block and elastic buckle, exposing the bottle opening and facilitating the pouring out of the medicine.

[0010] The medicine bottle has a storage cavity inside. An annular convex plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the top of the medicine bottle. The outer wall of the annular convex plate has external threads. An annular groove is opened on the inner side of the bottom of the fixed bottle cap. The inner walls on both sides of the annular groove have internal threads. The annular convex plate is threadedly connected to the annular groove.

[0011] The above technical solution provides a convenient storage cavity for medicines, and the fixed cap is threadedly connected to the medicine bottle, which can be opened for easy replacement, thus improving the utilization rate of the medicine bottle.

[0012] A fixing block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall on both sides of the channel. An elastic buckle is fixedly installed at the top of the fixing block on the side away from the channel. The elastic buckle has a cavity inside and a buckle head is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the cavity by a spring. The channel is circular and concentrically set with the fixed bottle cap.

[0013] The above technical solution has through grooves on both sides of the elastic buckle, and a slider is provided inside the through groove. As the spring moves up and down, the buckle is engaged in the buckle head and then pressed down to lock the buckle head, thus fixing it. Pressing down again releases the lock, making it easy to remove the movable bottle cap.

[0014] The top two sides of the card block are fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable bottle cap via connecting blocks. The bottom of the card block is an inverted trapezoid, and sealing gaskets are adhered to the outer walls of the movable bottle cap.

[0015] The above technical solution uses a locking mechanism where the protrusions on both sides of an inverted trapezoid engage with the buckle for locking. A sealing gasket is provided between the movable cap and the fixed cap to enhance the sealing performance and prevent the medicine inside the bottle from getting damp and affecting its efficacy.

[0016] An aluminum foil sealing cap is adhered to the inner wall of the top of the medicine bottle. The aluminum foil sealing cap has a circular easy-tear dotted line, which is concentric with the aluminum foil sealing cap. An easy-tear tab is fixedly installed on one side of the easy-tear dotted line on the aluminum foil sealing cap and extends upward above the top of the medicine bottle.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, the aluminum foil sealing cap serves a sealing function, ensuring the efficacy of the medicine and the airtightness of the medicine bottle. By pinching the easy-tear tab and pulling upwards, the aluminum foil sealing cap can be easily torn open along the easy-tear dotted line, making it convenient to take out the medicine.

[0018] The medicine bottle, fixed cap, and movable cap are all made of PVC plastic, and the fixed cap has vertical convex strips evenly distributed on its outer side.

[0019] The above technical solution features raised strips around the bottle cap, which increases friction and makes it easier to rotate and unscrew the bottle cap.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] When using this invention, simply use the pads of your thumb and forefinger to press against the grooves on both sides of the top of the movable bottle cap, and then press down slightly to release the locking mechanism of the elastic buckle. Then, pinch the handle and lift it up to remove the movable bottle cap. Next, pinch the easy-tear tab with your forefinger and thumb and tear the aluminum foil seal along the easy-tear dotted line to make it easier to tilt the medicine bottle to take out the medicine. It can be operated with one hand without expending much effort and has a wider range of applications. Attached Figure Description
