TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a holder for a drug (medicine or quasi drug) or health supplement (nutritional supplement).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, when a person becomes ill, he or she generally takes medicines (medicines, quasi drugs) to try to recover. Similarly, pet animals such as dogs and cats will also be given drugs when they get sick.

In recent years, various health supplements (nutritional supplements) have been put on the market with the increasing health consciousness of the people, and health supplements (nutritional supplements) are ingested to maintain health. Is increasing. These medicines or dietary supplements are in the form of tablets, granules, powders, capsules or liquids, and many days are packed in one bag, box or bottle.

Here, the medicine is not to be drunk in large quantities at one time, but it is necessary to take it regularly (for example, every day) based on the usage and dose indicated on the above-mentioned bag, box, and bottle. Moreover, since dietary supplements generally have a slower effect than drugs, it is necessary to continuously take them for a long period of time.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, at the beginning of taking medicines, etc.
As the person's physical condition improves, there are days when he / she forgets to take the above-mentioned medicines, and on the other hand, when he / she forgets to take the medicine as planned and there is a day when he / she takes too much.

[0006] In particular, dietary supplements are generally cumbersome because they are consumed in large amounts and in large amounts, and even if they forget to take them, they have almost no adverse effect on the physical condition of the body.

Therefore, various types of holders have been proposed in which a required number of packaging materials (bags or the like) containing a prescribed amount of medicines or health supplements are attached to a mount.
If such a holder is placed at a place where it can be easily seen, it is possible to prevent forgetting to drink. However, this type of mount tends to be large due to the large number of packaging materials attached, making it difficult to transport and store. In addition, impact may be exerted from the outside on the packaging material during transportation or the like, which may damage the medicine inside.

An object of the present invention is to provide a holder for a drug or dietary supplement that is easy to carry and store and can effectively prevent damage to the drug or dietary supplement due to impact or the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 (A), 1 (B), and 1 (C), the holder for a medicine or dietary supplement according to the present invention has a mount (11) and a detachment on the mount (11). It is composed of a plurality of packaging materials (21) which are held so that the dietary supplement (31) is contained therein, and the mount (11) is folded in two or three so that each packaging material (21) is on the inside. It is formed so that it can be folded.

In this embodiment, the above-mentioned mount is composed of a calendar mount 11 in which numbers representing dates of a predetermined period are sequentially marked. The calendar mount 11 is formed of a thick cardboard, and the surface 13 thereof has numbers (for example, 1 to 31) representing dates for one month in order. For example, the number "3" is the third day of the month (ie, 3
Day). Here, in FIG. 1, the numbers representing the dates are
Although it starts from “1”, it may start from a number indicating an intermediate date (for example, the number “15” indicating the 15th day).

The longitudinal direction of the calendar mount 11 [FIG. 1 (A),
(B) Middle up-down direction] Two linear bent portions (101, 101) are provided in the central portion so as to be separated by a predetermined distance L2 (in this embodiment, length L2 = 20 mm), The calendar mount 11 at the both folding portions (101, 101)
By bending the inside 90 °, the calendar mount 11
Is folded in two.

In particular, in this embodiment, the calendar mount 11 is
When folded in two, the surface dimensions are formed so as to be the existing standard dimensions (for example, Japanese Industrial Standard A-row No. 4, so-called A4 size). More specifically, FIG.
Then, the vertical dimension L0 of the calendar mount 11 is L1 + L2 + L3 = 2
10 mm + 20 mm + 210 mm = 440 mm). The lateral dimension L5 of the calendar mount 11 is 297
It is set to mm.

In FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C, reference numeral 105 is a spacing member, which is a calendar mount 1 folded in two.
It serves to help ensure that the spacing of the opposing faces of 1 is maintained more reliably. Accordingly, it is possible to more reliably prevent the packaging bag 21 attached to the facing surface of the calendar mount 11 that is folded in half from being damaged.

Next, each packaging material is attached to each numeral display portion 12 of the calendar mount 11 so as to cover each numeral. In this embodiment, as the packaging material, as shown in FIG. 2, a bag (packaging bag 21) that contains and seals various dietary supplements 31 is used. On the surface of each packaging bag 21,
The same number as the number representing the date on the calendar mount 11 side covered by each bag 21 is displayed. For example, on the calendar mount 11 portion where the number “3” is displayed, the packaging bag 21 where the number “3” is displayed on the surface is attached by a peelable adhesive.

As the adhesive, one that loses its adhesive force once it is peeled off is used. With this, calendar mount 1
The packaging bag 21 stripped from 1 cannot be returned to its original position, which is also a strong motivation for taking the dietary supplement 31.

The packaging bag 21 can be attached to the calendar mount 11 by using a double-sided tape, a plastic magnet, or the like. In this embodiment, as the dietary supplement 31,
Various diet foods have been selected.

Here, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), the notation may be used to identify the day of the week. In addition, in the holder shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the day of the week can be further changed. In other words, the day of the week display portion 41 that represents the day of the week is formed in a loop shape and can be swung via the slits (15, 16) opened in the upper portion of the calendar mount 11. Then, the day of the week display unit 41
The outer peripheral portion of each of the days of the week [Monday (Mon) ~
Sunday] is written. Therefore, the day of the week can be easily changed by appropriately turning the day of the week display unit 41.

In the holder having the above construction, the calendar mount 11 is shown in FIG.
(C) If it is folded in two as shown by the solid line, the size will be about 1/2. That is, the occupied space can be reduced. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of calendar mounts 11 can be arranged in order without any gap. Accordingly, a plurality of calendar mounts 11 can be displayed at a store or the like without taking up space.

Similarly, transportation and storage become much easier.
In particular, since the plurality of calendar mounts 11 have the same size, they can be tightly wrapped with the wrapping paper 107 as shown in FIG.
There is no such thing as breaking.

Further, during transportation and storage, each packaging bag 21 is located inside the calendar mount 11 folded in two, so that the calendar mount 11 functions as a cushioning material. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the packaging bags 21 and the health supplement 31 contained in the bags 21 from being damaged by an external impact or the like.

The calendar mount 11 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), each packaging bag 21 may be formed so as to be able to be folded in three so as to be inside. In such a case as well, the same effect as in the case of the above-mentioned two-folding is obtained.

Since the surface dimensions when the calendar mount 11 is folded in half are the existing standard dimensions (A4 size in this case), it feels uncomfortable with other same-sized (A4 size) notebooks and clear files. Can be stored without.

In the above embodiment, when the calendar mount 11 is folded in two, the surface dimension is formed to be A4 size, but the invention is not limited to this, and for example, letter size (216 × 280 mm). And B4 size (25
7 × 364 mm).

Further, since the same number as the number representing the date on the calendar mount 11 side covered by each packaging bag 21 is displayed on the surface 23 of each packaging bag 21 attached to the calendar mount 11. However, for the ingestor (or the person who feeds the pet animal), there is a psychological resistance to end the day with the packaging bag 21 left. Therefore, the packaging bag 21 is strongly motivated to be stripped off the calendar mount 11 and ingested, and forgetting to take the health supplement 31 is prevented.

Since the packaging bag 21 contains all the various dietary supplements 31 to be ingested on the day, it is not necessary for the ingestor or the like to adjust the dose of each dietary supplement 31 one by one. Therefore, various health supplements 31 can be ingested without difficulty over a long period of time.

If the packaging bag 21 is peeled off from the calendar mount 11, it is obvious that the person has consumed the portion for the day, so that it is possible to prevent excessive drinking. Therefore, it is useful for preventing forgetting or overdose of the health supplement 31.

The same number as the number representing the date on the calendar mount 11 side covered by is displayed.

In the case of such a holder, since the transparent pocket 81 is transparent, the packaging bag 21 placed in the pocket 81 can be clearly seen from the outside and, when the packaging bag 21 is taken out, the calendar is removed. The number display portion 12 of the mount 11 can be clearly seen from the outside.

Since the same number (for example, "7") as the date (number) written on the calendar mount 11 side is displayed on the surface 23 of the packaging bag 21 put in the transparent pocket 81. For the ingestor and the like, there is a psychological resistance to finishing the day (7 days) with the packaging bag 21 left. Therefore, it becomes a strong motivation to take out the packaging bag 21 from the transparent bag 81 and take the health supplement 31, and it is possible to prevent forgetting to take the health supplement 31.

Since the packaging bag 21 contains all the various dietary supplements 31 to be ingested on the day, it is not necessary for the ingestor or the like to adjust the doses of the various foods 31 or the like one by one.
From this point as well, the health supplement 31 can be ingested reasonably for a long period of time.

Further, if the packaging bag 21 is taken out from the transparent pocket 81, it is obvious that the person has ingested the amount for the day, so that the health supplement 31 can be prevented from being overdrinked. Therefore, it is useful for preventing forgetting or overdose of the health supplement 31. Further, since the packaging bag 21 is put in the transparent pocket 81 and held, it is possible to use even a packaging bag which is difficult to be attached to the calendar mount 11 due to its weight and shape.
