Description

CONTENEDOR PORTÁTIL DOSIFICADOR DE CÁPSULAS O TABLETAS ESFÉRICAS O SEMI- ESFÉRICAS PORTABLE SPHERICAL OR SEMI-SPHERICAL CAPSULE OR TABLET DISPENSER CONTAINER
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓNTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Esta invención se relaciona generalmente a contenedores de cápsulas o tabletas más particularmente a un contenedor portátil para contener cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas y facilitar la disposición dosificada de éstas. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNThis invention relates generally to capsule or tablet containers, more particularly to a portable container for containing spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets and facilitating the metered arrangement of these. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad productos tales como dulces, caramelos, chicles, medicamentos comprimidos, líquidos o disolubles, así como refrescantes bucales líquidos o disolubles, etc. son comercializados en cápsulas o tabletas de formas circular, esféricas o semi-esféricas y éstas a su vez son comercializadas en paquetes o contenedores que permiten su almacenaje así como su disposición.Currently products such as sweets, candies, chewing gums, compressed, liquid or dissolvable medications, as well as liquid or dissolvable mouth fresheners, etc. They are marketed in capsules or tablets of circular, spherical or semi-spherical shapes and these in turn are marketed in packages or containers that allow their storage as well as their disposal.
Entre las formas más comunes que encontramos tenemos a los contenedores tipo frasco que comprenden un recipiente con tapa por lo generalmente roscada, de tal forma que las cápsulas o tabletas son almacenadas en el recipiente y la boca de éste es tapada por la tapa roscada. Éste contenedor tipo frasco no permite dosificar su contenido, es decir disponer de una cápsula o tableta a la vez, pues primero es necesario abrir la tapa e inclinar el frasco por lo que es muy común que varias cápsulas o tabletas salgan de él.Among the most common forms that we find we have jar-type containers that comprise a container with a generally threaded lid, so that the capsules or tablets are stored in the container and the mouth of the container is covered by the threaded lid. This bottle-type container does not allow dosing its contents, that is, having one capsule or tablet at a time, since it is first necessary to open the lid and tilt the bottle so it is very common for several capsules or tablets to come out of it.
También encontramos los contenedores tipo hoja de ampollas que consisten en un panel transparente de pequeños depósitos individuales para cada cápsula o tableta que son cubiertos o tapados por una hoja metálica flexible que se remueve o desprende o se rompe a medida que una cápsula o tableta es sacada de su pequeño depósito individual. El problema que presenta éste tipo de contenedores es que su hoja metálica flexible se dificulta para desprenderse y es común que se troce o rompa por lo que a medida que se avanza en la disposición de cada cápsula o tableta es necesario repetir este proceso, quedando una serie de pequeños depósitos del panel transparente utilizados que producen mal aspecto y pueden ser antihigiénicos pues son propicios para que se almacena basura o mugre.We also find ampoule foil containers that consist of a transparent panel of small individual reservoirs for each capsule or tablet that are covered or capped by a flexible metal foil that is removed or peeled or breaks as a capsule or tablet is removed from his small individual deposit. The problem with this type of container is that its flexible metallic sheet is difficult to detach and it is common for it to be chopped or broken, so as you progress in the arrangement of each capsule or tablet, it is necessary to repeat this process, leaving a series of small transparent panel deposits used that produce a bad appearance and can be unhygienic since they are conducive to storing garbage or dirt.
Otro tipo de contenedor de cápsulas o tabletas es el tipo de tarjeta de crédito con una compuerta en una de sus esquinas que se abre y se cierra para facilitar la disposición de las cápsulas o tabletas; también algunas variantes de este tipo de contenedor de tarjeta de crédito tienen una compuerta flexible que se desliza internamente en el compartimento de almacenaje formando una compuerta móvil que permite la disposición de las cápsulas o tabletas por la abertura que se forma por la compuerta. El problema que presenta éste tipo de contenedor es que la apertura y diseño de la compuerta no permite la dosificación de las cápsulas o tabletas, es decir disponer de una cápsula o tableta a la vez; por lo que es muy común en éste tipo de contenedores utilizar las dos manos pues el contenedor deja que varias cápsulas o tabletas salgan al mismo tiempo. Otra forma de contenedor es el tipo de caja que por lo general está formada por una base y una cubierta de tal forma que la cubierta actúa como tapa y la base como recipiente de las cápsulas o tabletas, donde la cubierta se remueve para permitir disponer de ellas. La desventaja de los paquetes tipo caja es que permiten que el resto de las cápsulas o tabletas contendidas en el contenedor sean contaminadas por el hecho de disponer de manera manual de la cápsula o tableta deseada, por lo que resulta antihigiénico para cierto tipo de ellas.Another type of capsule or tablet container is the type of credit card with a gate in one of its corners that opens and closes to facilitate the disposition of the capsules or tablets; Also some variants of this type of credit card container have a flexible door that slides internally into the storage compartment, forming a mobile door that allows the disposition of the capsules or tablets through the opening formed by the door. The problem with this type of container is that the opening and design of the gate does not allow dosing of the capsules or tablets, that is, having one capsule or tablet at the same time; so it is very common in this type of container to use both hands because the container allows several capsules or tablets to come out at the same time. Another form of container is the type of box that generally consists of a base and a cover in such a way that the cover acts as a lid and the base as a container for capsules or tablets, where the cover is removed to allow disposing of they. The disadvantage of the box-type packages is that they allow the rest of the capsules or tablets contained in the container to be contaminated by the fact of having the desired capsule or tablet manually, making it unsanitary for certain types of them.
Otras variantes de contenedores de cápsulas o tabletas proveen un mecanismo que permite su dosificación (por ejemplo los contenedores cilindricos), pero el problema es que éstos paquetes tienen mecanismos complejos pues requieren de por ejemplo resortes para empujar una base con las cápsulas o tabletas hacia la abertura del contenedor de tal forma que las cápsulas o tabletas sean dosificadas y miembros mecánicos con movimiento para permitir la dosificación. Otra desventaja de éstos tipos de contenedores es que el costo de manufactura es relativamente alto por los mecanismos empleados.Other variants of capsule or tablet containers provide a mechanism that allows dosing (for example cylindrical containers), but the problem is that these packages have complex mechanisms since they require for example springs to push a base with the capsules or tablets towards the opening of the container in such a way that the capsules or tablets are dosed and mechanical members with movement to allow dosing. Another disadvantage of these types of containers is that the manufacturing cost is relatively high due to the mechanisms used.
Otra desventaja de los contenedores de cápsulas o tabletas actuales descritos anteriormente es que son poco discretos al guardarse en el bolsillo por lo que resulta incomodo ergonómicamente para los portadores de dichos contenedores de cápsulas o tabletas.Another disadvantage of the current capsule or tablet containers described above is that they are inconspicuous when stored in the pocket, making them ergonomically uncomfortable for the holders of said capsule or tablet containers.
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN Con el propósito de eliminar las desventajas que tienen los contenedores de cápsulas o tabletas actuales, el objeto de la presente invención es proveer un contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas de manufactura simple y de bajo costo, que es ergonómico y que permite disponer de una cápsula o tableta a la vez de una manera higiénica y práctica.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate the disadvantages that current capsule or tablet containers have, the object of the present invention is to provide a portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets of simple and low cost manufacture, It is ergonomic and allows you to have a capsule or tablet at the same time in a hygienic and practical way.
El contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi- esféricas de la presente invención expone hacia el exterior una cápsula o tableta a la vez por medio de un movimiento de desplazamiento entre una posición cerrada y una posición abierta de una base y una cubierta acopladas entre sí.The portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container of the present invention exposes one capsule or tablet to the outside by means of a displacement movement between a closed position and an open position of a coupled base and cover each.
El contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi- esféricas comprende una cámara de almacenamiento para contener una pluralidad de cápsulas o tabletas, que en posición cerrada del contenedor tiene la máxima capacidad y en la posición abierta se divide en una cámara de disposición y en una cámara de almacenamiento secundaria. Junto con la cámara de almacenamiento, una porción dosificadora aloja una cápsula o tableta; tal que la porción dosificadora en la posición cerrada del contenedor es parte integral de la cámara de almacenamiento y en la posición abierta del contenedor es parte integral de la cámara de disposición que es expuesta hacia el exterior en conjunto con una cápsula o tableta alojada en su interior.The portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets comprises a storage chamber for containing a plurality of capsules or tablets, which in the closed position of the container has the maximum capacity and in the open position is divided into a disposal chamber and in a secondary storage chamber. Along with the storage chamber, a dosing portion houses a capsule or tablet; such that the dosing portion in the closed position of the container is an integral part of the storage chamber and in the open position of the container it is an integral part of the disposal chamber that is exposed to the outside together with a capsule or tablet housed in its inside.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓNDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La figura 1 es una perspectiva de vista superior, vista frontal y vista lateral derecha del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi- esféricas en posición cerrada de su base y cubierta. En éste caso un contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas (de aquí en adelante contenedor 10) comprende dos elementos; una cubierta 20 y una base 30 acopladas entre sí formando una cámara de almacenamiento 90 interna (no mostrada) para contener una pluralidad de cápsulas o tabletas 70 (no mostradas). La cámara de almacenamiento 90 tiene dimensiones interiores donde el grueso es ligeramente mayor que el grueso de una cápsula o tableta 70 de tal forma que la cámara de almacenamiento 90 permite almacenar una cama de cápsulas o tabletas 70 uniforme; donde la profundidad o largo de la cámara de almacenamiento 90 depende del número de cápsulas o tabletas 70 a contener en el contenedor 10. Ésta figura 1 también muestra la superficie superior 40 de la cubierta 20 así como su borde periférico en forma de pared 60, mostrando además la pared frontal 50 de la base 30. La figura 2 es una perspectiva de vista superior, vista frontal y vista lateral derecha del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi- esféricas en posición abierta de su base y cubierta mostrando la cápsula o tableta esférica o semi-esférica dosificada. En éste caso el contenedor 10 comprende la cubierta 20 y la base 30 acopladas y desplazadas entre sí a una distancia ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70; dividiendo a la cámara de almacenamiento 90 (no mostrada) en una cámara de disposición 90' y un cámara de almacenamiento secundaria 90" (no mostrada), donde la cámara de disposición 90' queda expuesta junto con la porción dosificadora 210 al momento de abrir el contenedor 10 (desplazar entre sí la cubierta 20 y la base 30) y por la cual una cápsula o tableta 70 es expuesta. Ésta cámara de disposición 90' (que se explica a detalle más adelante) está delimitada por la pared frontal 50 y las paredes tope 130, 130' de la base 30, así como por la pared compuerta 80 de la cubierta 20. Ésta figura 2 también muestra la superficie superior 40 de la cubierta 20 así como su pared 60 limitada por el extremo tope 190.Figure 1 is a perspective of top view, front view and right side view of the portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets in the closed position of its base and cover. In this case, a portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets (hereinafter container 10) comprises two elements; a cover 20 and a base 30 coupled together to form an internal storage chamber 90 (not shown) to contain a plurality of capsules or tablets 70 (not shown). The storage chamber 90 has interior dimensions where the thickness is slightly greater than the thickness of a capsule or tablet 70 in such a way that the storage chamber 90 allows to store a uniform bed of capsules or tablets 70; where the depth or length of the storage chamber 90 depends on the number of capsules or tablets 70 to be contained in the container 10. This figure 1 also shows the upper surface 40 of the cover 20 as well as its peripheral edge in the form of a wall 60, further showing the front wall 50 of the base 30. Figure 2 is a top view perspective, front view and right side view of the portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container in the open position of its base and cover showing the dosed spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet. In this case the container 10 comprises the cover 20 and the base 30 coupled and displaced from each other at a distance slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70; dividing the storage chamber 90 (not shown) into an arrangement chamber 90 'and a secondary storage chamber 90 "(not shown), where the arrangement chamber 90' is exposed together with the dosing portion 210 at the time of opening container 10 (displacing cover 20 and base 30 from each other) and by which a capsule or tablet 70 is exposed This arrangement chamber 90 '(explained in detail later) is delimited by front wall 50 and the stop walls 130, 130 'of the base 30, as well as the gate wall 80 of the cover 20. This figure 2 also shows the upper surface 40 of the cover 20 as well as its wall 60 limited by the stop end 190.
Ahora la figura 3 es una perspectiva de vista superior, vista frontal y vista lateral derecha de la base del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas. La base 30 tiene un borde periférico en forma de pared 100 (que abarca las porciones laterales y la parte posterior de la base 30) unida a las paredes tope 130, 130' y a la pared frontal 50. Sobre la superficie interna de la base 30 se levanta una pared guía 110 y una pared dosificadora 120 unidas y que en conjunto se intersecta con la pared 100 de la parte posterior de la base 30 y con una pared tope 130; donde la longitud de la pared dosificadora 120 es ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70 y la altura de las paredes1 100, 110, 120 y 130, 130' es ligeramente mayor que el grueso de una cápsula o tableta 70. Basado en lo de arriba se forma una cámara de almacenamiento 90 delimitada por la superficie de la base 30 y la unión de la pared 100, las paredes tope 130, 130', la pared frontal 50, la pared guía 110 y la pared dosificadora 120; implícitamente conformando también la cámara de disposición 90' delimitada por una porción de la superficie de la base 30 y la unión de la pared frontal 50, la pared dosificadora 120 y las paredes tope 130, 130', así como la cámara de almacenamiento secundaria 90" delimitada por una porción de la pared 100, la pared guía 110 y las paredes tope 130 y 130'. Sobre la superficie interna de la base 30 se levanta un tope limitante del desplazamiento 140 cercano a la pared tope 130' y a una distancia ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70 con respecto a la cara interior de la pared frontal 50. El tope limitante del desplazamiento 140 sirve para delimitar el desplazamiento de la base 30 con respecto a la cubierta 20 o viceversa hasta una distancia ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70.Figure 3 is now a top view perspective, front view and right side view of the base of the portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container. The base 30 has a peripheral edge in the form of a wall 100 (spanning the side portions and the back of the base 30) attached to the stop walls 130, 130 'and to the front wall 50. On the inner surface of the base 30 a guide wall 110 and a metering wall 120 are attached and which as a whole intersect with the wall 100 at the rear of the base 30 and with a stop wall 130; where the length of the dosing wall 120 is slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70 and the height of the walls 1 100, 110, 120 and 130, 130 'is slightly greater than the thickness of a capsule or tablet 70. Based on the above, a storage chamber 90 is formed, delimited by the surface of the base 30 and the junction of the wall 100, the stop walls 130, 130 ', the front wall 50, the guide wall 110 and the dosing wall 120 ; implicitly also forming the layout chamber 90 'delimited by a portion of the surface of the base 30 and the junction of the front wall 50, the dosing wall 120 and the stop walls 130, 130', as well as the secondary storage chamber 90 "bounded by a portion of the wall 100, the guide wall 110 and the stop walls 130 and 130 '. On the internal surface of the base 30 a displacement limiting stop 140 is raised near the stop wall 130' and at a distance slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70 with respect to the inner face of the front wall 50. The displacement limiting stop 140 serves to delimit the displacement of the base 30 with respect to the cover 20 or vice versa to a slightly greater distance than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70.
También en cada uno de los lados de mayor longitud de la base 30 sobre la cara externa de la pared 100 se encuentra una ranura de ensamble y guía 150 y un borde saliente de cierre 160; donde la ranura de ensamble o guía 150 se extiende desde el extremo posterior de la base 30 hasta la pared tope 130 o 130'.Also on each of the longest sides of the base 30 on the external face of the wall 100 there is an assembly and guide groove 150 and a protruding closing edge 160; where the assembly or guide groove 150 extends from the rear end of the base 30 to the stop wall 130 or 130 '.
La función de cada uno de los bordes salientes de cierre 160 es de acoplarse a cada una de las ranuras de cierre 180 de la base 30 para mantener la posición de cerrado de la cubierta 10.The function of each of the closing protrusion edges 160 is to engage each of the closing grooves 180 of the base 30 to maintain the closed position of the cover 10.
Alternativamente sobre la superficie externa de la base 30 se encuentra un espacio generalmente rectangular para la colocación de una etiqueta o la impresión de la marca o la información del contenido del contenedor; además que la superficie externa de la base 30 puede ser rugosa para facilitar la operación del contenedor 10 (ver figuras 9A a la 9D).Alternatively on the external surface of the base 30 there is a generally rectangular space for the placement of a label or the printing of the mark or the information of the contents of the container; in addition that the external surface of base 30 can be rough to facilitate the operation of container 10 (see figures 9A to 9D).
En la figura 4 que es una perspectiva de vista inferior, vista frontal y vista lateral derecha de la cubierta del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas. La cubierta 20 tiene un borde periférico en forma de pared 60 continua (que abarca las porciones laterales y la parte posterior de la cubierta 20) que se interrumpe por los extremos tope 190. Sobre la superficie interna de la cubierta 20 se levanta una pared compuerta 80; donde la longitud de la pared compuerta 80 es ligeramente menor que la distancia entre el punto de la unión (entre las paredes 110 y 120) y la cara interior de la pared tope 130'; y la altura de las paredes 60 y 80 es ligeramente mayor que la altura de la pared 100 de la base 30. En cada uno de los lados de mayor longitud de la cubierta 20 sobre la cara interior de la pared 60 se encuentran un riel saliente de ensamble y guía 170 y una ranura de cierre 180; donde riel saliente de ensamble y guía 170 se extiende próximo al extremo posterior de la cubierta 20 hasta el extremo tope 190 dejando un espacio de acople 170' entre el extremo posterior de la cubierta 20 para permitir un fácil acople al momento del ensamble con la base 30 (ver figuras 8A a la 8C).In Figure 4, which is a perspective from the bottom view, front view and right side view of the cover of the portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets. The cover 20 has a peripheral edge in the form of a continuous wall 60 (spanning the side portions and the back of the cover 20) which is interrupted by the stop ends 190. A gate wall rises on the inner surface of the cover 20 80; where the length of the gate wall 80 is slightly less than the distance between the point of attachment (between walls 110 and 120) and the inside face of the stop wall 130 '; and the height of the walls 60 and 80 is slightly greater than the height of the wall 100 of the base 30. On each of the longest sides of the cover 20 on the inner face of the wall 60 there is a projecting rail assembly and guide 170 and a closing slot 180; where assembly protrusion rail and guide 170 extends proximate the rear end of cover 20 to the stop end 190 leaving a coupling space 170 'between the rear end of cover 20 to allow easy engagement at the time of assembly with the base 30 (see figures 8A to 8C).
La función de cada uno de las ranuras de cierre 180 es de acoplarse a cada uno de los bordes salientes de cierre 160 de la base 30 para mantener la posición de cerrado de la cubierta 10.The function of each of the closure grooves 180 is to engage each of the closure protrusion edges 160 of the base 30 to maintain the closed position of the cover 10.
Alternativamente sobre la superficie externa 40 de la cubierta 20 se encuentra un espacio generalmente rectangular para la colocación de una etiqueta o la impresión de la marca o la información del contenido del contenedor; además que la superficie externa 40 de la cubierta 20 puede ser rugosa para facilitar la operación del contenedor 10 (ver figuras 9A a la 9D).Alternatively on the external surface 40 of the cover 20 there is a generally rectangular space for the placement of a label or the printing of the mark or the information of the contents of the container; further that the external surface 40 of the cover 20 can be rough to facilitate the operation of the container 10 (see Figures 9A to 9D).
Ahora en la figura 5 se muestra una vista superior en corte a lo largo de la línea V-V de la figura 1 del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas de dicha figura. En ésta figura 5 se muestra la cubierta 20 y la base 30 en posición cerrada donde la pared compuerta 80 de la cubierta 20 está próxima a la pared frontal 50 de la base 30 por lo que la cámara de almacenamiento 90 está en su capacidad máxima, es decir la cámara de disposición 90' está reducida a lo mínimo.Now in figure 5 a top sectional view is shown along the line V-V of figure 1 of the portable dosing container for spherical or semi-spherical capsules or tablets of said figure. In this figure 5 the cover 20 and the base 30 are shown in the closed position where the gate wall 80 of the cover 20 is close to the front wall 50 of the base 30 so that the storage chamber 90 is at its maximum capacity, that is, the layout chamber 90 'is reduced to a minimum.
La pared guía 110 generalmente inclinada en dirección hacia la porción dosificadora 210 provoca que las cápsulas o tabletas 70 sean deslizadas por efecto de gravedad hacia la cámara de disposición 90' (reducida a lo mínimo) particularmente hacia dicha porción dosificadora 210. Bajo ésta configuración las cápsulas o tabletas 70 muestran su vista superior en forma de círculo, quedando una cápsula o tableta 70 alojada en la porción dosificadora 210 y el resto de las cápsulas o tabletas 70 alojadas en la cámara de almacenamiento 90. La porción dosificadora 210 está formada por la pared 120, la pared tope 130, una porción de pared frontal 50 y la pared saliente 200 de tal forma que las dimensiones en ancho y largo de la porción dosificadora 210 son ligeramente mayores que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70.The guide wall 110 generally inclined towards the dosing portion 210 causes the capsules or tablets 70 to slide due to the effect of gravity towards the disposition chamber 90 '(reduced to a minimum) particularly towards said dosing portion 210. Under this configuration the capsules or tablets 70 show their top view in a circle, with one capsule or tablet 70 housed in the dosing portion 210 and the rest of the capsules or tablets 70 housed in the storage chamber 90. The dosing portion 210 is formed by the wall 120, stop wall 130, a front wall portion 50 and projecting wall 200 such that the width and length dimensions of the dosing portion 210 are slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70.
En ésta posición cerrada del contenedor 10, la pared compuerta 80 de la cubierta 20 es alojada en el conjunto de la pared saliente 200 y la pared frontal 50 de la base 30; así como cada una de las paredes tope 130 y 130' de la base 30 coinciden con cada uno de los extremos tope 190 de la cubierta 20. Cambiando ahora a la figura 6 la cual muestra una vista superior en corte a lo largo de la línea VI-VI' de la figura 2 del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas de dicha figura. En ésta figura 6 se muestra la cubierta 20 y la base 30 en posición abierta donde la pared compuerta 80 de la cubierta 20 está próxima a las paredes tope 130 y 130', a la pared 120 y al tope limitante del desplazamiento 140 de la base 30; por lo que la cámara de almacenamiento 90 es dividida en una cámara de disposición 90' y en una cámara de almacenamiento secundaria 90", es decir la cámara de almacenamiento 90 está en su mínima capacidad.In this closed position of the container 10, the gate wall 80 of the cover 20 is housed in the assembly of the projecting wall 200 and the front wall 50 of the base 30; as well as each of the stop walls 130 and 130 'of the base 30 coincide with each of the stop ends 190 of the cover 20. Turning now to Figure 6 which shows a top sectional view along line VI-VI 'of Figure 2 of the portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container of said figure. In this figure 6 the cover 20 and the base 30 are shown in the open position where the gate wall 80 of the cover 20 is close to the stop walls 130 and 130 ', to the wall 120 and to the limitation stop of the displacement 140 of the base 30; whereby the storage chamber 90 is divided into an arrangement chamber 90 'and a secondary storage chamber 90 ", that is, the storage chamber 90 is at its minimum capacity.
En otras palabras la pared compuerta 80 de la cubierta 20 se encuentra desplazada a una distancia ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70 con respecto a la cara interior de la pared frontal 50 de la base 30 (o la distancia máxima de desplazamiento que permite el tope limitante del desplazamiento 140 de la base 30), de tal forma que la pared compuerta 80 desplaza a las cápsulas o tabletas 70 hacia el interior de la cámara de almacenamiento secundaria 90" manteniéndolas en esa ubicación, pues cierra el espacio entre la unión de las paredes 110 y 120, la cara interior de la pared tope 130' y el contorno de las superficies internas de la cubierta 20 y la base 30.In other words, the gate wall 80 of the cover 20 is displaced at a distance slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70 with respect to the inner face of the front wall 50 of the base 30 (or the maximum displacement distance allowing the limit stop of the movement 140 of the base 30), in such a way that the gate wall 80 displaces the capsules or tablets 70 towards the interior of the secondary storage chamber 90 "keeping them in that location, since it closes the space between the junction of the walls 110 and 120, the inner face of the abutment wall 130 'and the contour of the internal surfaces of the cover 20 and the base 30.
La pared guía 110 generalmente inclinada en dirección hacia la porción dosificadora 210 provoca que las cápsulas o tabletas 70 sean deslizadas por efecto de gravedad hacia la pared compuerta 80. Bajo ésta configuración las cápsulas o tabletas 70 muestran su vista superior en forma de círculo, quedando una cápsula o tableta 70 alojada en la porción dosificadora 210 en la cámara de disposición 90' y el resto de las cápsulas o tabletas 70 alojadas en la cámara de almacenamiento secundaria 90". La porción dosificadora 210 está formada por la pared 120, la pared tope 130, una porción de pared frontal 50 y la pared saliente 200 de tal forma que las dimensiones en ancho y largo de la porción dosificadora 210 son ligeramente mayores que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70.The guide wall 110 generally inclined towards the dosing portion 210 causes the capsules or tablets 70 to slide due to the effect of gravity towards the gate wall 80. Under this configuration, the capsules or tablets 70 show their upper view in the form of a circle, remaining a capsule or tablet 70 housed in the dosing portion 210 in the disposition chamber 90 'and the rest of the capsules or tablets 70 housed in the secondary storage chamber 90'. The dosing portion 210 is formed by the wall 120, the wall stop 130, a front wall portion 50 and protruding wall 200 such such that the width and length dimensions of the dosing portion 210 are slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70.
En ésta posición abierta del contenedor 10, cada una de las paredes tope 130 y 130' de la base 30 están separadas (a una distancia ligeramente mayor que el diámetro de una cápsula o tableta 70) de su respectivo extremo tope 190 de la cubierta 20.In this open position of container 10, each of the stop walls 130 and 130 'of the base 30 are separated (at a distance slightly greater than the diameter of a capsule or tablet 70) from their respective stop end 190 of the cover 20 .
Las líneas punteadas de la figura 6 son parte de la cubierta 20 mostrando la porción fantasma de la superficie de la cubierta 20 que no aparece por efecto del corte.The dotted lines in Figure 6 are part of the cover 20 showing the phantom portion of the surface of the cover 20 that does not appear due to the effect of the cut.
Ahora en las figuras 7A a la 7C se muestran vistas frontales en corte a lo largo de la línea VII-Vir de la figura 1 del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas de dicha figura; mostrando algunos tipos de vistas frontales de las cápsulas o tabletas contenidas en dicho contenedor, así como el acople entre la base y la cubierta de éste. En cada una de las figuras se muestra el ensamble entre la cubierta 20 y la base 30, donde cada uno de los rieles salientes de ensamble y guía 170 de la cubierta 20 se acopla con su correspondiente ranura de ensamble y guía 150 de la base 30 manteniendo estructuralmente unidos a la cubierta 20 y a la base 30 permitiendo el movimiento de desplazamiento entre sí de éstos.Now in figures 7A to 7C front sectional views are shown along the line VII-Vir of figure 1 of the portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container of said figure; showing some types of frontal views of the capsules or tablets contained in said container, as well as the coupling between the base and its cover. In each of the figures the assembly between cover 20 and base 30 is shown, where each of the assembly and guide protruding rails 170 of cover 20 is coupled with its corresponding assembly groove and guide 150 of base 30 structurally holding the cover 20 and the base 30 allowing the movement of each other to move.
En la figura 7A se muestra al contenedor 10 con la vista frontal de la cama de las cápsulas o tabletas 70 de forma esférica; mientras que en la figura 7B se muestra la vista frontal de cápsulas o tabletas 70 de forma semi-esférica y en la figura 7C la vista frontal de cápsulas o tabletas 70 de forma circular plana; siendo la altura de la cámara de almacenamiento 90 y la porción dosificadora 210 ligeramente mayor que el grueso de una cápsula o tableta 70. En las figuras 8A a la 8C se muestran vistas laterales del ensamble de la base y cubierta del contenedor portátil dosificador de cápsulas o tabletas esféricas o semi-esféricas. En la figura 8A se muestra que la cubierta 20 (se inclina desde la perspectiva de la posición de la base 30) y se coloca en el extremo posterior de la base 30 de tal forma que cada espacio de acople 170' (mostrados en la figura 4) de la cubierta 20 permita que la porción extrema posterior de la base 30 entre en la porción de la cubierta 20 delimitada por cada espacio de acople 170' tal como se muestra en la figura 8B.In figure 7A the container 10 is shown with the front view of the bed of the spherical capsules or tablets 70; while in figure 7B the front view of capsules or tablets 70 is shown in a semi-spherical shape and in figure 7C the front view of capsules or tablets 70 of flat circular shape; the height of the storage chamber 90 and the dosing portion 210 being slightly greater than the thickness of a capsule or tablet 70. Figures 8A through 8C show side views of the base and cover assembly of the portable spherical or semi-spherical capsule or tablet dosing container. In Figure 8A it is shown that the cover 20 (tilts from the perspective of the position of the base 30) and is positioned at the rear end of the base 30 such that each coupling space 170 '(shown in figure 4) of the cover 20 allows the rear end portion of the base 30 to enter the portion of the cover 20 delimited by each coupling space 170 'as shown in Figure 8B.
