Description

Apparatus for storing liquids with a medication timer

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage storage device, and more particularly, to a beverage storage device provided with a dosing timer having improved portable storage and usability.

Generally, a beverage container refers to a container for accommodating a drink consumed by a user, and is formed in various sizes and shapes depending on the capacity of the beverage and the storage period. In addition, it is common that such a beverage container is manufactured in a portable size so that the user can easily drink the beverage from the outside.

1 is a perspective view showing a conventional beverage container.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional beverage container 100 includes a body 110, which is used as a space for receiving beverage inside, and a handle 110 which is used for gripping a user, And a lid 130 for selectively opening and closing the discharge unit 120. The discharge unit 120 includes a discharge port 120,

However, the conventional beverage container (100) carried by the user when going out or climbing is not only carrying the water for its use but actually drinking the water, but when drinking natural water in the outdoor and drinking the disinfectant, have. In addition, users suffering from pathologies may carry water in order to take their medication on time when going out.

Therefore, in many cases, an auxiliary container other than a beverage container is usually carried together. However, there is a problem in that the auxiliary container must be separated and carried, so that the auxiliary container is lost, and even if it is not lost, there is a problem that it is inconvenient to use due to the time required to retrieve the contents and retrieve the contents.

On the other hand, the auxiliary container can be used for taking a prescribed medicine with water along with it. In general, drugs prescribed for a patient's illness in a hospital or pharmacy are determined by the condition of the patient and the type and nature of the drug. The time of administration and the dosage period are determined. When the drug is administered for a certain period of time, Medication should be administered in accordance with the dosing schedule to help in the treatment of the disease.

However, in the case of elderly people who are lacking in time or lack of memory, they frequently forget dosing time or medication frequency. In the case of elderly or children, when immunity drops or physical aging causes violation of medication time The effect of the medicinal treatment is markedly deteriorated, and the severity of the pathological condition may be exacerbated.

Conventionally, a device has been devised to help the user to maintain the dosing time. For example, a medication-assisted container for generating an alarm signal at a predetermined time to induce medication is formed with a timer capable of generating an alarm sound at a predetermined time, and an accommodation space for storing medicine therein is formed.

However, the conventional medication-assisted container has an effect of generating an alarm signal at a set time so as to inform the dosing time. However, since it only generates an alarm signal indicating the medication time, it is possible to classify the medication There was no problem.

In addition, although a storage space for storing medicines is formed, since a drink for taking a common pellet needs to be carried separately, there is a problem that the time for administration is delayed when the portability is low and there is no place to save drinks around .

In addition, when the medication-assisted container is dropped on the floor due to careless handling by an elderly person or a child when using the portable device, the conventional medication-assisted container easily breaks due to a falling impact or the storage space is easily opened, There is a problem that the medicine can be stored safely.

As described above, since the beverage storage device 200 equipped with the dosing timer is formed in a size that can be held by one hand or two hands, the portability can be improved.

Further, the receiving space is formed as a space that can receive and store the beverage. Here, the receiving space may be formed integrally with the body 210 and formed of the same material.

Of course, it is also possible to separately form the accommodation space from the body to conserve the temperature of the accommodated beverage, and to connect the accommodation space and the body so as to include an air layer therebetween. Furthermore, it is possible to antimicrobially treat the portion directly contacting with the beverage when forming the accommodation space to improve the preservation performance of the beverage.

As such, since the accommodating space can be formed to preserve the temperature of beverage contained therein and to inhibit germs, the reliability of the beverage storage device 200 equipped with the dosing timer can be improved.

Further, the outer rim surface portion 211 of the body is formed to be rounded to give a grip feeling. Here, it is preferable that the rim surface portion 211 is rounded in a shape in which the intermediate side is recessed. At this time, the rim surface portion 211 may be formed of a synthetic resin such as rubber having a low heat transfer coefficient so as not to feel inconvenience when the beverage is gripped because the beverage is cold or hot.

Of course, it is possible to form a non-slippery protrusion on the surface of the rim surface portion 211 to prevent slippage due to fogging or the like caused by temperature difference of the received beverage and external temperature difference. Further, the rim portion 211 may be provided with a handle.

Accordingly, the rim surface portion 211 can prevent the product from being damaged due to slippage when the drinker grips the beverage storage device 200, or falling off the user's foot, Can be improved.

An observation groove 213 is formed at one side of the rim 211 to allow the user to see the inside of the body 210.
