Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a drug container. [Background technology]

[0002] The chemical volatilizer is composed of a chemical container and a volatile chemical contained in the chemical container. The chemicals used may be, for example, deodorants, fragrances, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, insect repellents, or repellents. The drug container comprises a container body having an opening for containing the drug, and a lid body having a plurality of evaporation holes that is removably attached to the opening of the container body, and the opening is closed with a seal that is peeled off when the drug is to be used (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-109751 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Such drug volatilizers are available in a variety of models, including those for general household use and those for commercial use in hospitals, nursing homes, offices, public facilities, etc. For commercial use, chemical vaporizers are desired to have a long shelf life, so larger volume chemical containers are used to increase the amount of chemical they can hold, with some chemical vaporizers weighing more than 1kg or 1.5kg.

[0005] Among such commercial drug volatilizers, there are known ones that have a handle attached to the lid for ease of portability. For example, known forms of attaching a semicircular handle to a circular lid of a medicine container include attaching the handle along the outer periphery of the lid, and attaching the handle along the inner periphery of a recess formed in the top surface of the lid. In the former case, the handle is attached along the outer periphery of the lid, and when the entire product is viewed from the front, the lid and the handle are discontinuous in shape, which impairs the design and makes the appearance inferior. Also, the outer diameter of the part where the handle is attached becomes one size larger, which creates unevenness on the outer periphery of the lid, making it difficult to grip when turning the lid to attach or detach it from the container body, resulting in poor operability. On the other hand, the latter configuration in which a handle is attached along the inner circumference of a recess formed in the lid can improve the appearance, but the diameter of the handle is small, making it difficult to insert the four fingers other than the thumb inside the handle when carrying the drug volatilizer, and furthermore, when lifting the drug volatilizer, the weight is concentrated on the middle and ring fingers, making it a heavy burden for the person carrying the drug volatilizer to a distant location. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a medicine container which has improved appearance and reduces the burden when carried. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, one embodiment of the present invention is a drug container comprising a container body having an opening and in which a volatile drug is contained, and a lid body attached to the opening, the lid body having a cylindrical wall that can be detachably connected to the opening, and a top wall portion that is circular in plan view and connects the inner surface of the cylindrical wall and has a volatilization hole, and a handle is provided on the top wall portion, the handle comprising a pair of support shafts that are each supported so as to be swingable at opposing locations on the inner surface, and a handle body extending in a semicircular arc from the pair of support shafts, the handle body having an outer periphery extending in a semicircular arc with a uniform radius and facing the inner periphery when the handle body is laid down on the top wall portion, and an inner periphery that is connected to the outer periphery and is located radially inward of the outer periphery, the inner periphery extending in a semicircular arc such that the distance between the outer periphery and the inner periphery gradually decreases as it moves away from the center of the extension direction of the inner periphery. Moreover, one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the semicircular arc constituting the inner circumference has a dimension smaller than the radius of the semicircular arc constituting the outer circumference and is formed with a radius centered at a point away from the center of the semicircular arc of the outer circumference. Moreover, one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the outer circumferential portion and the inner circumferential portion have a width extending in a direction perpendicular to the top wall portion in the collapsed position, and at locations located at both ends in the width direction at the center of the extension direction of the inner circumferential portion, a locking recess is provided that reduces the width of the inner circumferential portion, making it easier to insert a fingertip between the top wall portion and the inner circumferential portion in the collapsed position and enabling the fingertip to be locked to the inner circumferential portion. In addition, one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the lid body has an open recess formed upward by the top wall portion and the inner surface of the cylindrical wall, the width of the outer peripheral portion is formed with a dimension that is contained within the recess without protruding outside the recess in the laid-down position, and the width of the inner peripheral portion excluding the central portion in the extension direction of the inner peripheral portion and the width of the outer peripheral portion are formed with equal dimensions. In addition, one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the cross-sectional shape of the handle body cut in a plane perpendicular to its extension direction includes an outer peripheral plate that is elongated in the width direction and constitutes the outer peripheral portion, an inner peripheral plate that faces the outer peripheral plate and is elongated in the width direction and constitutes the inner peripheral portion, and an intermediate plate that extends in a direction perpendicular to the width direction and connects the outer peripheral plate and the intermediate portion of the inner peripheral plate in the width direction, and the locking recess is provided on both ends of the inner peripheral plate in the width direction. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a handle is provided on the top wall of the lid body, the handle comprising a pair of support shafts each supported swayably on the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical walls facing each other, and a handle body extending in a semicircular arc from the pair of support shafts, the handle body having an outer circumferential portion extending in a semicircular arc with a uniform radius and facing the inner circumferential surface in a lying position where the handle body is laid on the top wall, and an inner circumferential portion connected to the outer circumferential portion and located radially inside the outer circumferential portion, the inner circumferential portion of the handle body extends in a semicircular arc in which the distance between the outer circumferential portion and the inner circumferential portion gradually decreases as it moves away from the center in the extending direction of the inner circumferential portion. Therefore, the load of the drug volatilizer can be distributed to the four fingers of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, which is advantageous in improving the appearance and reducing the burden when carrying, which is advantageous in increasing the practical value and commercial value of the drug volatilizer, and increasing the purchase amount of the drug volatilizer. In addition, since the pair of support shafts can be easily bent with one hand in the direction bringing them closer together, this increases the efficiency of the attachment work of the handle to the lid, which is advantageous in reducing the cost of the drug volatilizer. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the semicircular arc that constitutes the inner circumference of the handle body is configured to have dimensions smaller than the radius of the semicircular arc that constitutes the outer circumference, and to be formed with a radius centered at a point away from the center of the semicircular arc of the outer circumference, which makes it easy to form the inner circumference, and is advantageous in terms of easily forming the handle body. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the inner periphery is reduced at locations located at the center of the extension direction of the inner periphery of the handle body and at both ends in the width direction, making it easier to insert fingertips between the top wall portion and the inner periphery in the collapsed position and allowing the fingertips to engage with the inner periphery.Since the fingertips engage with the locking recesses, this is advantageous in easily swinging the handle from the collapsed position to the upright position, enhancing the practical value and commercial value of the drug vaporizer and increasing the purchase volume of the drug vaporizer. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an open recess is formed in the lid body by the top wall portion and the inner surface of the cylindrical wall, and the width of the outer peripheral portion is formed to be a dimension that is contained within the recess without protruding outside the recess in the laid-down position, and the width of the inner peripheral portion excluding the central portion in the extension direction of the inner peripheral portion and the width of the outer peripheral portion are formed to be equal in dimension, so that the handle is contained within the recess without protruding, which is advantageous in terms of improving the appearance of the pharmaceutical container and ease of handling during transport. Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the handle body cut in a plane perpendicular to its extension direction includes an outer peripheral plate that is elongated in the width direction and forms the outer periphery, an inner peripheral plate that faces the outer peripheral plate and is elongated in the width direction and forms the inner periphery, and an intermediate plate that extends in a direction perpendicular to the width direction and connects the widthwise intermediate portions of the outer peripheral plate and the inner peripheral plate, and locking recesses are provided on both widthwise ends of the inner peripheral plate, which is advantageous in reducing the weight of the handle body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the medicine volatilizer 10 includes a volatile medicine (not shown) and a medicine container 12 that contains the volatile medicine. The drug volatilizer 10 is for commercial use in hospitals, nursing homes, offices, public facilities, etc., and the internal volume of the drug container 12 is large and the amount of volatile drug contained in the drug container 12 is also large, with the drug volatilizer 10 weighing, for example, 1 kg or 1.5 kg. Examples of volatile chemicals include deodorants, fragrances, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, insect repellents, and repellents. A volatile drug is, for example, a solid or gel-like drug composed of a volatile component and a gel base having contractility that holds the volatile component in a volatile manner, and as the volatile component volatilizes over time, the volume decreases and the drug shrinks.

[0010] The drug container 12 is configured to include a container body 20 and a lid body 30, and the lid body 30 is provided with a handle 50. The container body 20 is formed, for example, from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, and the lid body 30 and the handle 50 are formed, for example, from polypropylene (PP) resin. The materials from which the container body 20, the lid 30 and the handle 50 are formed are not limited to those mentioned above, and various conventionally known materials such as polyethylene (PE) resin, polystyrene (PS) resin, polycarbonate (PC) resin and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin can be used depending on the components of the volatile drug to be contained.

[0011] As shown in Figure 3, the container body 20 comprises a rectangular bottom 22 whose four corners are arcs, a cylindrical body 24 that stands up from the periphery of the bottom 22, a shoulder 26 that slopes upward from the upper end of the body 24 toward the center, and a cylindrical tubular portion 28 connected to the upper end of the shoulder 26. The inside of the cylindrical portion 28 is an opening 2802 that opens the inner space of the container body 20, and the opening 2802 is closed with a release film (not shown) that is removably attached to the upper end of the cylindrical portion 28. This release film is peeled off when the medicine volatilizer 10 is used. On the outer circumferential surface of the tube portion 28, a male thread (thread) 2804 is formed which is coupled with a female thread (thread) 3604 of the lid 30, which will be described later.

[0012] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the lid body 30 comprises a cylindrical wall 32 that is detachably connected to the opening 2802 of the container body 20, a top wall portion 34 that is circular in plan view and connects the inner surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32, and a handle 50 provided on the top wall portion 34.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 4(A), the cylindrical wall 32 is composed of a cylindrical outer wall portion 36 that forms an outer peripheral surface 3204 of the cylindrical wall 32, and a cylindrical inner wall portion 38 that is bent from the upper end of the outer peripheral wall portion 36 inwardly of the outer peripheral wall portion 36, and the inner surface of the inner wall portion 38 forms the inner peripheral surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32. As shown in FIG. 4(B), an internal thread 3604 that is coupled to an external thread 2804 formed on the cylindrical portion 28 of the container body 20 is formed on an inner peripheral surface 3602 of the outer peripheral wall portion 36 .

[0014] When attaching the lid body 30 to the container body 20, the lid body 30 is placed over the cylindrical portion 28 of the container body 20, and the lid body 30 is rotated to engage the female thread 3604 and the male thread 2804. The lid body 30 is then removed from the container body 20 by rotating the lid body 30 in the opposite direction. In this embodiment, the lid body 30 is attached and detached to the container body 20 by a screw connection, but various conventionally known structures can be applied to the structure for attaching and detaching the lid body 30 to the container body 20.

[0015] The outer peripheral surface 3204 of the cylindrical wall 32 may be formed by arranging multiple vertically elongated rectangular surfaces 36A one above the other, as shown in Figures 4(A) and (B), or may be formed by a single cylindrical surface, and various shapes known in the art are applicable. Also, as shown in Figures 4(A) and 5(B), a pair of insertion holes 3206 are formed on the inner surfaces 3202 of the opposing cylindrical walls 32, into which a pair of support shaft portions 52 of the handle 50 described later are inserted. In detail, the pair of insertion holes 3206 are formed at a pair of locations on the inner circumferential surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32 located on the diameter of the top wall portion 34 .

[0016] The top wall portion 34 extends on a plane and connects the lower end of the inner peripheral wall portion 38, and is provided with a plurality of volatilization holes 3402 that are circular in plan view. As shown in Figure 5 (B), this top wall portion 34 and the inner surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32 form an upwardly open recess 3002, the bottom surface of the recess 3002 is formed by the top wall portion 34, and the inner surface of the recess 3002 is formed by the inner surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32.

[0017] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, handle 50 is composed of a pair of support shafts 52 and a handle body 54 having an outer periphery 5402 and an inner periphery 5404 extending in a semicircular arc from the pair of support shafts 52. In this embodiment, the position of handle 50 when handle body 54 is laid down on top wall portion 34 as shown in FIG. 1 is referred to as the laid-down position, and the position of handle 50 when handle body 54 stands upright at a right angle from top wall portion 34 as shown in FIG. 2 is referred to as the upright position.

[0018] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the pair of support shaft portions 52 include a cylindrical support shaft body 5202, a large diameter portion 5204 provided between the support shaft body 5202 and the handle body 54, and a protrusion 5206 provided on the end of the support shaft body 5202 opposite the large diameter portion 5204. The large diameter portion 5204 is formed so that its cross section is larger than the openings of the pair of insertion holes 3206, and is formed so as to be able to come into contact with the inner circumferential surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32 surrounding the insertion holes 3206 when the pair of shaft bodies 5202 are inserted into the pair of insertion holes 3206. As a result, the large diameter portion 5204 prevents the handle 50 from moving in the axial direction of the shaft portion 52 and coming out of the insertion holes 3206 of the shaft portion 52. In addition, the radius of the outer circumferential portion 5402 of the handle 50 is formed to be slightly smaller than the radius of the top wall portion 34, and when a pair of support shaft bodies 5202 are inserted into a pair of insertion holes 3206, a gap is secured so that the outer circumferential portion 5402 of the handle 50 does not come into contact with the inner circumferential surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32, thereby enabling the handle 50 to swing smoothly between the laid-down position and the upright position. The protrusion 5206 is formed so that it protrudes from the shaft body 5202 by an amount smaller than that of the large diameter portion 5204, and when the drug volatilizer 10 is carried by the handle 50, the protrusion 5206 engages with the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall portion 38 surrounding the insertion hole 3206, preventing the shaft body 5202 from slipping out of the insertion hole 3206.

[0019] The handle 50 is attached to the cover 30 by bending the handle body 54 so that both ends of the handle body 54 approach each other, and inserting the pair of support shaft bodies 5202 and the protrusions 5206 into the pair of insertion holes 3206. The handle 50 is removed in the opposite manner to the above, by bending the handle body 54 so that both ends of the handle body 54 approach each other, and removing the pair of support shaft bodies 5202 and the protrusions 5206 from the pair of insertion holes 3206.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 7, the handle body 54 has an outer periphery 5402 and an inner periphery 5404 . The outer periphery 5402 extends in a semicircular arc with a uniform radius, and faces the inner periphery 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32 when the handle body 54 is in a laid down position (see FIG. 2) on the top wall portion 34 . The inner circumference portion 5404 is connected to the outer circumference portion 5402 and is located radially inside the outer circumference portion 5402, and the inner circumference portion 5404 extends in a semicircular arc shape such that the distance between the outer circumference portion 5402 and the inner circumference portion 5404 gradually decreases as the inner circumference portion 5404 moves away from the center in the extension direction of the inner circumference portion 5404.

[0021] In more detail, Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional shape cut by a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of handle body 54, and as shown in Figure 8 (A), outer periphery 5402 and inner periphery 5404 have a width W extending in a direction perpendicular to top wall portion 34 when handle 50 is in the laid-down position. As shown in FIG. 8, the handle body 54 of this embodiment is configured to include an outer peripheral plate 56 that is elongated in the width W direction and forms an outer peripheral portion 5402, an inner peripheral plate 58 that faces the outer peripheral plate 56 and is elongated in the width W direction and forms an inner peripheral portion 5404, and an intermediate plate 60 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the width W direction and connects the intermediate portions of the outer peripheral plate 56 and the inner peripheral plate 58 in the width W direction.

[0022] 7(C), the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral plate 56 is formed as a cylindrical surface extending in a semicircular arc with a radius R1 having a center O on the center line L1 connecting the pair of support shafts 52. This center O substantially coincides with the center of the top wall portion 34 when the handle 50 is attached to the lid 30. In addition, the inner surface of the inner peripheral plate 58 is formed as a cylindrical surface extending in a semicircular arc with a radius R2 smaller than the radius R1 of the outer peripheral plate 56, with the center P being a point away from the center O of the outer peripheral plate 56 to the outside of the outer peripheral plate 56. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral plate 58 extends in a semicircular arc shape with the distance D1 to the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral plate 56 gradually decreasing as the inner peripheral plate 58 moves away from the center in the extending direction of the inner peripheral plate 58.

[0023] 7(B) and 8(B)-(D), at the center M in the extension direction of inner periphery 5404 of handle body 54, at both ends in the width W direction, there are provided locking recesses 5802 which reduce the width W of inner periphery 5404, thereby ensuring a gap S between top wall 34 and inner periphery 5404 when handle 50 is in the laid-down position, making it easier to insert fingertips between top wall 34 and inner periphery 5404 and enable the fingertips to be locked to inner periphery 5404. The locking recesses 5802 are provided on both ends of the width W direction of the inner periphery 5404 so as to facilitate insertion of fingertips between the top wall 34 and the inner periphery 5404 and enable the fingertips to be locked onto the inner periphery 5404, regardless of which direction the inner periphery 5404 is laid down from the upright position. The locking recess 5802 is formed in a curved shape, as shown in Figure 7 (B), and is formed so that the width W of the inner circumferential plate 58 is smallest at the center in the extension direction of the inner circumferential plate 58 and becomes larger toward the end in the extension direction of the inner circumferential plate 58, as shown in Figures 8 (B) to (D). The shape of the locking recess 5802 is not limited to a curved shape and may be a rectangular shape, etc., but forming it in a curved shape makes the locking recess 5802 less noticeable, which is advantageous in terms of improving the appearance of the medicine volatilizer 10.

[0024] Moreover, the width W of the outer circumferential portion 5402 is formed to a dimension such that the handle 50 does not protrude above the recess 3002 of the lid 30 when in the laid-down position. The width W of the inner circumferential portion 5404 excluding the central portion in the extending direction of the inner circumferential portion 5404 and the width W of the outer circumferential portion 5402 are formed to be equal in dimension. That is, in this embodiment, the handle 50 does not protrude from the lid body 30 when in the laid-down position, improving the appearance and ease of handling of the drug volatilizer 10.

[0025] Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described. When a staff member in a hospital, nursing home, office, public facility, etc. carries the drug volatilizer 10 to a designated installation location, the staff member swings the handle 50 from a lying position to an upright position, inserts his / her fingers inside the handle 50, and lifts the handle 50 to carry the drug volatilizer 10. In this case, when handle 50 is swung from the laid-down position to the upright position, the fingertips of the longest middle finger and the second longest ring finger are inserted between top wall portion 34 and inner circumference 5404 of handle body 54. In this embodiment, however, a gap S is provided at center M in the extension direction of inner circumference 5404 of handle body 54 between top wall portion 34 and inner circumference 5404 to make it easier to insert the fingertips. This is advantageous in that the handle 50 can be easily swung from the lying down position to the standing position. For example, when handle 50 is swung from a laid-down position to an upright position with bare hands, friction is generated between the fingertips of the middle and ring fingers and inner circumference 5404 of handle body 54, so even if width W of inner circumference 5404 is made uniform along the extension direction like outer circumference 5402, handle 50 can be swung from a laid-down position to an upright position with ease and no problems arise. However, when performing this type of work, staff often wear gloves made of, for example, cotton, and if there is no friction between the tips of the middle and ring fingers and inner circumference 5404 of handle body 54, and if width W of inner circumference 5404 is uniform like outer circumference 5402, it will be difficult to swing handle 50 from the laid-down position to the upright position. In this embodiment, when the handle 50 is in the laid-down position, a gap S is secured between the top wall portion 34 and the inner periphery 5404 at the center M of the inner periphery 5404 of the handle body 54. Therefore, even when wearing gloves, the fingertips of the middle and ring fingers can be engaged with the engagement recesses 5802 via the gloves, which is advantageous for easily swinging the handle 50 from the laid-down position to the upright position, thereby enhancing the practical value and commercial value of the drug volatilizer 10 and increasing the purchase volume of the drug volatilizer 10.

[0026] Next, a case will be described in which the user inserts his or her fingers into the handle 50 positioned in the upright position, lifts the handle 50, and carries the medicine volatilizer 10. First, the case of a conventional handle 90 will be described with reference to FIG. 9(B). In the handle body 94 of the conventional handle 90 shown in Figure 9 (B), the centers of the semicircular arcs of the outer peripheral plate 96 and the inner peripheral plate 98 coincide with each other, the outer peripheral plate 96 and the inner peripheral plate 98 are each formed by an arc of a uniform radius, and the distance between the outer peripheral plate 96 and the inner peripheral plate 98 is uniform over the entire length of the semicircular arc. As a result, the volume of the space along the inner surface of the inner plate 98 of the handle body 94 is small, and the four fingers other than the thumb cannot be aligned along the inner surface of the inner plate 98. As a result, when the handle 90 is lifted, the index finger 2 and little finger 5 overlap the outside of the middle finger 3 and ring finger 4, respectively, and the weight of the drug volatilizer 10 is concentrated on the middle finger 3 and ring finger 4, resulting in a problem that, for example, transporting the drug volatilizer a distance of 20 m or 30 m becomes an uncomfortable task.

[0027] In contrast, the handle body 54 of this embodiment shown in Figure 9 (A) extends in a semicircular arc so that the distance between the outer peripheral plate 56 and the inner peripheral plate 58 gradually decreases as it moves away from the center in the extension direction of the inner peripheral plate 58. Therefore, the volume of the space along the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral plate 58 of the handle body 54 is large, and the four fingers other than the thumb can be arranged along the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral plate 58 without overlapping. Therefore, when handle 50 is lifted, the weight of drug volatilizer 10 can be distributed among four fingers: index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, and little finger 5. This is advantageous in easily transporting drug volatilizer 10 a distance of 20 m or 30 m, for example, and is advantageous in increasing the practical value and commercial value of drug volatilizer 10 and increasing the purchase volume of drug volatilizer 10. Furthermore, when the pair of support shafts 52 are attached to the lid body 30 in the manufacturing plant of the drug volatilizer 10, the handle body 54 extends in a semicircular arc so that the distance between the outer peripheral plate 56 and the inner peripheral plate 58 gradually decreases as it moves away from the center in the extension direction of the inner peripheral plate 58. Therefore, compared to the conventional handle body 94 in which the distance between the outer peripheral plate 56 and the inner peripheral plate 58 is even as shown in Figure 9 (B), the pair of support shafts 52 can be easily bent in the direction bringing them closer together, and in this embodiment, the pair of support shafts 52 can be easily bent in the direction bringing them closer together with one hand. Therefore, this improves the efficiency of the attachment work of the handle 50 to the lid body 30, which is advantageous in reducing the cost of the drug volatilizer 10.

[0028] In addition, the inner peripheral plate 58 has its center P at a point away from the center O of the semicircular arc of the outer peripheral plate 56, and can be easily formed with a radius R2 that is smaller than the radius R1 of the semicircular arc that constitutes the outer peripheral plate 56, which is advantageous in easily forming the handle body 54. In addition, the top wall portion 34 of the lid body 30 and the inner surface 3202 of the cylindrical wall 32 form an open recess 3002 at the top, and the width W of the outer peripheral plate 56 and the inner peripheral plate 58 is formed with dimensions such that they do not protrude outside the recess 3002 when in the laid-down position and are contained within the recess 3002. As a result, the handle 50 is contained within the recess 3002 without protruding, which is advantageous in improving the appearance of the drug container 12 and ease of handling during transport. In addition, the cross-sectional shape cut by a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle body 54 is not limited to the structure of the embodiment, and may be a solid or hollow rectangular or elliptical shape, and various conventionally known structures can be adopted. However, if the cross-sectional shape of the handle body 54 is composed of an outer peripheral plate 56 elongated in the width W direction that constitutes the outer peripheral portion 5402, an inner peripheral plate 58 elongated in the width W direction that constitutes the inner peripheral portion 5404, and an intermediate plate 60 connecting them, as in the embodiment, it is advantageous in reducing the weight of the handle body 54 which exhibits the effect of the embodiment described above.

Claims

1. A drug container comprising a container body having an opening and in which a volatile drug is contained, and a lid body attached to the opening, the lid body having a cylindrical wall detachably connected to the opening, and a top wall portion having a circular shape in a plan view, the top wall portion connecting the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall and having a volatilization hole, A handle is provided on the top wall portion, the handle including a pair of support shafts supported to be pivotable on the inner circumferential surface facing each other, and a handle body extending in a semicircular arc from the pair of support shafts; The handle body has an outer circumferential portion that extends in a semicircular arc with a uniform radius and faces the inner circumferential surface when the handle body is laid down on the top wall portion, and an inner circumferential portion that is connected to the outer circumferential portion and is located radially inward of the outer circumferential portion, The inner circumferential portion extends in a semicircular arc shape such that the distance between the outer circumferential portion and the inner circumferential portion gradually decreases as the distance from the center of the inner circumferential portion increases, the semicircular arc constituting the inner periphery has a dimension smaller than the radius of the semicircular arc constituting the outer periphery and is formed with a radius centered at a point away from the center of the semicircular arc of the outer periphery; the outer circumferential portion and the inner circumferential portion have a width extending in a direction perpendicular to the top wall portion in the laid-down position, A locking recess is provided at a location located at both ends in the width direction in the center of the extension direction of the inner periphery, which reduces the width of the inner periphery to make it easier to insert a fingertip between the top wall portion and the inner periphery in the collapsed position, thereby enabling the fingertip to be locked to the inner periphery. The locking recess is formed in a curved shape, and is formed so that the width of the inner circumferential portion is smallest at the center in the extension direction of the inner circumferential portion and the width of the inner circumferential portion increases toward the end in the extension direction of the inner circumferential portion. A pharmaceutical container characterized in that:

2. The lid body has an upwardly open recess formed by the top wall portion and an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical wall, The width of the outer circumferential portion is formed to have a dimension that allows the outer circumferential portion to be accommodated in the recessed portion without protruding outside the recessed portion in the laid-down position, The width of the inner periphery excluding the central portion in the extending direction of the inner periphery and the width of the outer periphery are formed to be equal in dimension.

2. The drug container according to claim 1.

3. The cross-sectional shape of the handle body cut along a plane perpendicular to the extending direction thereof includes an outer peripheral plate that is elongated in the width direction and constitutes the outer peripheral portion, an inner peripheral plate that faces the outer peripheral plate and is elongated in the width direction and constitutes the inner peripheral portion, and an intermediate plate that extends in a direction perpendicular to the width direction and connects the outer peripheral plate and the inner peripheral plate in the width direction. The locking recesses are provided at both ends of the inner circumferential plate in the width direction.
