【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an eye drop container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention and an eyedrop cap 5 which constitutes a part thereof. The eye drop container 1 is composed of a small plastic container body 2 containing a drug solution, equipped with a drip port 3 and the cap body 5, and a lid 4 for closing the port is attached to and detached from the drip port 3. You can do it.

The eyedropping cap body 5 has a peripheral wall 51 made of hemispherical plastic whose opening is gradually opened toward the tip and which is open, an edge frame 52 attached to the tip, and a peripheral wall 51. It has a mounting opening 53 formed in the bottom portion of the container and a small hole 54 formed at an appropriate location of the peripheral wall 51, and the height from the mounting opening 53 to the tip, that is, the edge frame 52 is the container body. It is slightly higher than the height from the root 31 to the tip of the drip port 3 in 2.

The eyedrop cap body 5 is fixed to the container body 2 by fitting the attachment port 53 to the base portion 31 of the drip mouth 3. In that case, the eyedrop cap body 5 attachment port 5 is attached. Even if 53 is joined to the base portion 31 of the drip opening 3 with an adhesive or the like and the eyedropping cap body 5 is fixed to the container body 2 in a non-separable manner, or the mounting opening 53 is located at the base of the drip opening 3. The container body 2 may be attached to and detached from the container body 2 by being inserted into and removed from the portion 31. In the latter case, that is, when the attachment port 53 is to be inserted into and removed from the root portion 31 of the drip port 3, for example, as shown in FIG. If the mounting opening 53 is formed and the size of the mounting opening 53 is equal to or slightly smaller than the root portion 31 of the drip opening 3, the mounting opening 53 can be fitted into and removed from the root portion 31 of the drip opening 3. The cut 55 can be opened and closed to facilitate the fitting / removing, and after the fitting, the mounting opening 53 is securely fitted to the root portion 31 of the drip opening 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, if the mounting opening 53 is integrally provided with the downwardly extending guide piece 56, the above-mentioned fitting and removal can be performed more easily.

The eye drop container 1 described above is a cap body for eye drops, which is attached to the container body 2 so as to be fixed or detachable by the patient holding the container body 2 with the fingers of the hand, as illustrated in FIG. The tip or edge frame 52 of 5 is applied around the eyes. In this case, the tip of the cap body 5 projects from the tip of the drip port 3, so that the tip of the drip port 3 is positioned slightly above the eyes. Therefore, when the container body 2 is pinched with a finger and the liquid medicine is dropped from the dropping port 3, the liquid medicine surely enters the eye.

If the peripheral wall 51 of the eye drop cap body 5 is made of transparent plastic, the drip opening 3 can be seen through the peripheral wall 51, and the cap body 5 is given a crystal-like cleanliness. It If the cap body 5 is made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft plastic, the cap body 5 is slightly recessed with fingers and pressed around the eyes as shown in FIG. 5, and then the cap body 5 is pressed. When the cap body 5 is restored and returns to its original shape by releasing the finger from, it exerts the action of pulling the periphery of the eye outward and forcibly opening the eyelid, and by that action the eye drops It is possible to apply the drops accurately. Further, if the edge frame 52 is made of a flexible material having elasticity such as rubber, a soft wearing feeling can be obtained when the cap body 5 is pressed around the eyes as shown in FIG. In addition, if a small hole 54 is formed in the peripheral wall 51 of the cap body 5, when the cap body 5 is pressed around the eyes as shown in FIG. 5, the air inside escapes to the outside through the small hole 54. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the feeling of pressure that accompanies the accumulation of air inside the cap body 5.

FIG. 4 shows an eye drop container 1 provided with an eyedrop cap body 5 according to another embodiment. The cap body 5 includes a mounting port 53 that can be inserted into and removed from the root part 31 of the drip port 3 of the container body 2, a plurality of ribs 57 ... And a ring-shaped edge frame 52 provided so as to extend from one end to the other, and the height from the mounting port 53 to the edge frame 52 extends from the root 31 of the drip port 3 to the tip of the drip port 3. It is higher than the height. In this cap body 5, the attachment port 53 may be integrally fixed to the base 31 of the drip port 3 or may be detachable. Further, the number of ribs 57 can be set arbitrarily. This is also used in the same manner as described in FIG.

The edge frame of the eyedropping cap body 5 may be annular as shown in the drawing, or may be another shape such as an ellipse or a quadrangle. Further, the shape of the peripheral wall 51 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, and may be another shape such as a semi-oval shape or a cylindrical shape.

[Effect of the device]

 According to this invention, not only can the position of the drip port of the eye drop container be reliably positioned above the eye when instilling, but it is also possible to prevent the drip port from hitting the eye. For them, the eye drops can be performed easily and accurately, and at the same time the fear of eye drops can be eliminated. In addition, the surrounding wall of the cap body is made transparent so as to give a clean feeling, the elastic wall is used to force the eyelids to open the eyelids, and the edge frame is made of elastic material. It is possible to obtain a soft wearing feeling by using.
