  • Patent number: 10532878
    Abstract: A pill case (100) includes a pocket (9) which receives one pill (10) from an accommodation unit (8) in which a plurality of pills (10) are accommodated, and an extraction port (11) for ejecting the pill (10) in the pocket (9) to the outside. The pill case (100) includes a manipulation unit (for example, pill ejection button (4) and pill tray (5)) which converts a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) cannot be ejected through the extraction port (11) to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected through the extraction port (11) by being manipulated by a user. The pill case (100) includes a moving unit which is moved by indirectly or directly receiving a pressure from the pill (10) in the pocket (9) according to the moving manipulation to the manipulation unit, and a detection unit which detects that the moving unit is moved up to a position of the moving unit which corresponds to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected.

  • Publication number: 20130170117
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes a housing (7) formed by an upper housing part and a lower housing part that are integrally structured. At least a part of an upper surface of the housing (7) is made open to form an upper surface opening (11). Inside the housing (7), inner mounted components (a circuit board (8), a key switch board (9), or a battery) are mounted. The upper surface opening (11) of the housing (7) is covered with a key sheet (12). A method for assembling the mobile phone includes inserting the inner mounted components through the upper surface opening (11) into the inside of the housing (7) to be mounted inside the housing (7), and then covering the upper surface opening (11) with the key sheet (12).
