2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been practiced to prevent tablets from moving in a container by packing a tablet cushioning material formed by rolling a foamed resin piece or a synthetic resin sheet into the mouth of a container containing tablets. However, these tablet cushioning materials are unsanitary when the cushioning material is inserted into and removed from the container mouth and the portions where the fingers touch the cushioning material are not constant, and when the cushioning material is taken out, it is entangled with the cushioning material. Sometimes the pills jumped out and spilled.

Therefore, the cushioning material shown in FIG. 4 has also been proposed.
(Actual fairness 4-23817). The cushioning material is such that a hollow plug body (11) whose lower part is narrowed is projected on the lower surface of the lid (10), and a pressing piece (12) is projecting obliquely outward on the outer periphery of the lower part of the plug body, The body (11) is provided with a through slit hole (5) that opens to the tip of the pressing piece (12).

As shown in FIG. 5, the cushioning material is used for the container (6).
When attached to, the lower part of the stopper (11) hits the tablet (8) and is elastically deformed, and the holding piece (12) opens outward to hold the tablet (8) and close the movement of the tablet (8). I was able to. Also, the lid (10)
It was possible to attach and detach it hygienically to the container mouth (7).

However, the container (6) is packed with tablets (8) and the lid is closed.
The work of mounting (10) is carried out by an automatic machine, and if the container (6) is displaced when the lid (10) is closed, as shown in FIG. The thick portion of the container mouth (7) fits into the lower end opening of the slit hole (13) of
(13) is forcibly opened and part of the stopper (11) protrudes from the container (6), causing a problem that the lid (10) cannot be opened.

Further, when the lid (10) is closed, as shown in FIG.
The tablet (8a) wraps around the pressing piece (12), and the pressing piece (12)
May be placed on the cover, and when you remove the lid (10), presser piece
Sometimes the tablets and tablets listed in (12) popped out and spilled. The present invention discloses a tablet cushioning material that can solve the above problems.

[0007]

The tablet cushioning material of the present invention is formed of a synthetic resin so as to be easily deformable, and is continuous with a tubular portion (2) fitted in the mouth portion (7) of the container (6). A pressing portion (3) gradually narrowed toward the tip side and closed at the tip is provided, and a through slit hole (5) extending to the tip side of the pressing portion (3) is provided on the wall surface of the pressing portion (3).
Are opened at substantially equal intervals, and a pressing piece (9) is projected outward in the vicinity of the boundary between the cylindrical portion (2) and the pressing portion (3).

[0008]

[Operation and effect] Since the tip of the pressing part (3) is gradually narrowed and closed, the container (6) is automatically operated in the factory.
When the cushioning material (1) is attached to the container (6), even if the container (6) is slightly displaced, if the lower part of the holding part (3) fits into the container mouth part (7), The position of the container (6) or cushioning material is corrected by being guided to the slope, and the cushioning material (1) is surely fixed.
It can be inserted into the mouth (7) of (6). Since the lower end of the slit hole (5) is closed, the container mouth (7) is inserted in the slit hole (5).
It is possible to avoid a problem that the lid is not fitted and the lid cannot be closed because a part of the pressing portion (3) protrudes out of the container mouth portion as in the conventional case.

When the lower end of the holding portion (3) reaches the tablet (8) and the cushioning material is further pushed in, the slit hole (5) of the holding portion (3)
Due to the presence of the above, the pressing portion (3) elastically deforms so as to increase the diameter and effectively presses the tablet (8) and seals the movement of the tablet (8). As shown in Fig. 1, the pressing part (3) expanded and deformed in the radial direction.
Even if the tablet (8a) may wrap around on the tablet (8a)
Since the pressing piece (8) covers from above, when the tablet cushioning material (1) is removed, the pressing piece (9) hits the inner surface of the mouth part (7) of the container and the pressing piece (9) narrows, At this time, the tablet (8a) is pushed downward by the pressing piece (9), and the tablet (8a) does not pop out together with the cushioning material (1).

[0010]

EXAMPLE As shown in FIG. 1, a tablet cushioning material (1) is a hollow in which the tip side is gradually narrowed and the tip is closed continuously to a cylindrical portion (2) provided with a protruding outward flange (4). Is provided with a pressing portion (3), and the pressing portion (3) has a through slit hole (5) extending toward the tip side.
Are opened at regular intervals. In the vicinity of the boundary between the cylindrical portion (2) and the pressing portion (3), pressing pieces (9) and (9) are projected outwardly in correspondence with the adjacent slit holes (5) and (5). There is. The tablet cushioning material (1) is integrally molded with a synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene so as to be easily deformable.

The width of the slit hole (5) does not allow the tablet (8) to pass through even if the width of the slit hole (5) is expanded by elastically deforming the pressing portion (3) so as to expand in the radial direction. Similarly, it is appropriately determined according to the size of the tablet (8). The outer diameter of the tubular portion (2) is formed to fit tightly into the container mouth portion (7), and the total length of the cushioning material is about 1.2 to 2.0 times the outer diameter of the tubular portion (2). Is formed in.

The cushioning material of the embodiment has a total length of 36.5 mm and a tubular portion.
The outer diameter of (2) is 30 mm, and the wall thickness is the flange (4) and the cylinder part.
(2) is about 1 mm, the tip surface of the presser section (3) is 0.5 mm, and the intermediate area of the presser section (3) indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
Thus, the wall thickness gradually decreases from the lower end of the tubular portion (2) and the tip end surface of the holding portion (3) to the intermediate region of the holding portion. The pressing piece (9) has a thin base end side.

However, since the tip of the pressing portion (3) is gradually narrowed and closed, when the cushioning material (1) is attached to the container (6) by an automatic machine in the factory, the container (6) ) Is slightly displaced, the lower part of the holding part (3) is the container mouth part.
(7) If it enters, it will be guided by the slope of the retainer (3) and
(6) Alternatively, the position of the cushioning material is corrected so that the cushioning material can be surely inserted into the mouth portion (7) of the container (6). When the cushioning material (1) is inserted into the container mouth portion (7), the holding piece (9) hits the tip of the mouth portion (7), but the tubular portion (2) is elastically deformed inward and the holding piece ( 9) can be bent upward and pass through the mouth portion (7), and the presence of the pressing piece (9) does not hinder the insertion of the cushioning material (1) into the container mouth portion (71).

When the lower end of the holding portion (3) reaches the tablet (8) and the cushioning material is further pushed in, the slit hole (5) of the holding portion (3).
Due to the presence of, the pressing portion (3) elastically deforms so as to increase the diameter, effectively pressing the tablet (8) and sealing the movement of the tablet (8). The holding portion (3) has a thin intermediate portion, and when the tablet hits the tip of the holding piece (3) and a reaction force is applied, the holding portion (3) can be swollen in the radial direction promptly. Buffer material (1)
The flange (4) hits the end surface of the mouth (7) of the container (6),
Further invasion is blocked.

Even if the tablet (8a) wraps around the pressing portion (3) which is expanded and deformed in the radial direction, since the pressing piece (8) covers the tablet (8a), the tablet cushioning material ( When removing 1), the pressing piece (9) hits the inner surface of the mouth part (7) of the container and the pressing piece (9) contracts, at which time the tablet (8a) is pushed downward by the pressing piece (9). , The tablet (8a) does not pop out together with the cushioning material (1). As shown in FIG. 1, when the container mouth (7) is fitted with the cushioning material and the lid (not shown) is used, the flange of the cushioning material is
(4) plays the role of a seal.

It should be noted that the flange (4) of the cushioning material (1) is tightly fitted inside the lid, or the flange is fixed to the lid with an adhesive, and the lid and the cushioning material are integrated to form a lid with cushioning material. You can also do it. Since the cushioning material of the embodiment is formed as a hollow body having a closed lower end and an open upper surface, the desiccant can be accommodated inside the cushioning material. The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims for utility model registration.
