Description

The present invention relates to an opener for opening a package, and more particularly, to an opener for a package for easily opening a package in which a medicine is enclosed even if it is a handicapped person.

The medicine includes tablets, capsules, powders and the like, which are enclosed in a package (hereinafter referred to as “medicine bag”) and handed to the patient. When opening the medicine bag, an opening operation method is generally performed in which the medicine bag is held with one hand, the medicine bag is broken with the other hand, and the medicine is taken out. In other words, it was necessary to work with both hands. Further, as another opening method, an opening operation by pinching or the like is conceivable, but it has the same problem of using both hands.

By the way, as an opener for opening a general bag, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 53-129675 and Utility Model Registration No. 3077514 are disclosed.
Shokai 53-129675 Utility Model Registration No. 3077514

The opener as described above is also assumed to be used by a healthy person, and is naturally performed using both hands for opening the bag. For this reason, there is a problem that a patient who cannot use one hand due to injury or illness is not only extremely difficult to use even with these openers, but also scatters drugs.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an opener that can easily open a bag with one hand even if a person with one hand is injured due to injury or illness.

In order to achieve the above-described object, claim 1 of the present invention has a groove part cut out in a rectangular main body that can be gripped or fixed, and the groove part is formed on the opening direction side of the groove part with the center in the width direction as a vertex. An inclined cutting edge is provided, and the bag is opened by passing through the end of the bag enclosed in the groove.

Claim 2 of the present invention is provided with a clip for holding and holding the opened bag in the bag passing direction.

  According to the opener of the present invention, the bag can be opened easily and the contents of the bag can be taken out even if the hand is handicapped.

  In addition, since the bag can be held and held in a series of opening operations, the contents can be prevented from being scattered.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of an opener according to the present invention as seen from the bottom, FIG. 2A is a plan view, FIG. 1B is a bottom view, FIG. 3A is a front view, and FIG. The side view is shown.

As shown in FIG. 2, the opener 1 of the present invention has a rectangular shape that can be grasped or fixed as will be described later, and the user's finger does not enter the center of the main body 2 so that the medicine bag A can pass. A groove portion 3 having a width is formed by penetrating (notching) the main body 2 while leaving about half.

A V-shaped cutting blade 4 is screwed and fixed to the end portion of the groove portion 3 with the center in the width direction of the groove portion 3 as a vertex. Further, on the extended line of the groove portion 3, there is provided a clip 5 composed of a clamping piece 5 a that is applied with an elastic force and is in contact with each other at its lower end surface, and holds and holds the opened medicine bag A. Further, an arch-shaped fixing portion 6 in which a magnet 7 is embedded is provided on the upper surface 2 a of the main body 1.

  Next, the use of the opener in the above embodiment will be described.

  First, the magnet 7 embedded in the arch body 6 is attached and fixed to a metal body or the like, and in this state, is passed through the groove portion 3 from the end portion of the medicine bag A. Then, when the medicine bag A is brought into contact with and pressed against the apex of the V-shaped cutting blade 4 during the passage, the medicine bag A is opened. Therefore, according to the opener 1 of the present invention, the bag can be opened easily and the contents of the bag can be taken out even if the hand is handicapped.

Furthermore, since the clip 5 is provided on the extension line of the groove portion 3 in the opener 1 of the present invention, when the opening operation of the medicine bag A is pushed forward, the medicine bag A is sandwiched and held by the sandwiching piece 5 a of the clip 5. . Therefore, since the opening is in a state of being closed by the clip 5, the medicine is neither dropped nor scattered.

  In addition, the cutting blade 4 which opens the above-mentioned medicine bag A is preferably stainless steel, and the clip 5 is not specified as long as it has flexibility.

Moreover, although the opener 1 of the present invention has been described as being used in a fixed manner, the medicine bag A may be opened by moving the opener 1 while holding the medicine bag A fixed. In this case, it goes without saying that the opener 1 is of a size that can be held with one hand.

It is the perspective view which looked at the opener which shows the form of one Example of this invention from the bottom face. (A) which shows the opener of this invention is a top view, (b) is a bottom view. (A) which shows the opener of this invention is a front view, (b) is a side view.
