【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は大きさ、形状、種類等の異なる複数の服用錠剤をこれを密封包装した単位包装片内から同時に取出して、その服用を容易にできるようにした錠剤取出具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
最近の服用薬剤は、一部の粉、顆粒、水溶性を除いては殆んどが錠剤(タブレット)であり、通常は錠剤を金属性フィルムシートと合成樹脂フィルム間に密封包装した単位包装片を10錠宛まとめて一連の包装シートに形成し、その服用に際しては包装シートから分離した単位包装片の錠剤上部の合成樹脂フィルムを押圧して錠剤下側の金属性フィルムシートの薄箔片を破り錠剤を単位包装片から取出しているのが現状である。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら一錠の錠剤を服用する場合にはさして問題はないが、最近の如く、多くの種類又は大きさや形状の異なる錠剤を服用するには、夫々の単位包装片毎に前記のような操作を繰返して錠剤を取出さなければならず、その操作は面倒で手間を要し、特に指先の感覚の鈍った老人等においては錠剤を取り落としてしまったり、なかなか取出せなかったりしてその煩雑さは一層顕著である。
【0004】
本発明はこのような現状に鑑み、同時に服用する複数の錠剤を夫々単位包装片から同時に迅速容易に取出して服用できるようにした錠剤取出具を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は前記目的を達成するため、錠剤落下孔を複数上面板に穿設した取出し容器の上部に、前記錠剤落下孔の夫々に嵌合する錠剤押出突部を設けた錠剤押出板を着脱自在に嵌着したことを特徴するものであり、前記錠剤押出板は取出し容器に開閉自在に軸着し、また上面板は取出し容器に発条で弾圧可能に設けると共に該上面板の下側に上面板の弾圧時の錠剤落下孔が嵌合する切削刃を突設した支持板を取出し容器に固着して錠剤の単位包装片の薄箔片の切断分離を容易にするのが好適であり、また前記複数の錠剤落下孔及び錠剤押出突部の形状、大きさを異なるように形成すると各種形状、大きさの錠剤に対応することができ一層利用価値を向上でき、また各錠剤落下孔の周囲に単位包装片の載置皿部を設けると各単位包装片を夫々の錠剤落下孔の位置に確実に保持して各錠剤の取出し容器内への押出し作用を一層円滑確実に行うことができ、更に錠剤押出板は使用前には発条で開放状態に保持して各錠剤落下孔上への単位包装片の載置を容易にする一方、錠剤押出板による錠剤押出後や収納時には錠剤押出板を取出し容器に着脱係止できるようにすると、その取扱い収納等も便利である。
