It is a figure for demonstrating the usage example of the package for PTP sheets. It is a figure for demonstrating the usage example of the package for PTP sheets further. It is a figure for demonstrating the usage example of the package for PTP sheets further.

  The PTP sheet packaging body of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, for example, an embodiment of 2 × 3 total 6 pockets. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a package 1 for a PTP sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a development view of the PTP sheet packaging body 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the entire PTP sheet packaging body 1 is folded.

  The PTP sheet packaging 1 includes a base sheet 10, a middle sheet 20 connected to one side of the base sheet 10 via a first bent portion 15, and a second sheet on the other side opposite to the one side of the base sheet 10. And a cover sheet 30 connected through two bent portions 16. Each of the base sheet 10, the middle sheet 20, and the cover sheet 30 has a rectangular shape with substantially the same dimensions. Moreover, the packaging body 1 for PTP sheets consists of the transparent resin of the same raw material in which the base sheet 10, the intermediate sheet 20, and the cover sheet 30 have flexibility. However, considering recyclability, it is preferable that these are made of a single material (not a composite material). For example, A-PET can be used as the transparent resin.

  The package 1 for PTP sheets is formed from one sheet-like molded body shown in the developed view of FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the left middle sheet 20 of the sheet-like molded body is folded on the central base sheet 10 and the right cover sheet 30 is folded on the upper surface with the middle sheet 20 inside. A tri-folded PTP sheet package 1 is provided. However, the PTP sheet packaging body 1 may be provided as a sheet-like molded body shown in FIG. Moreover, the PTP sheet 40 may be accommodated between the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20, and the PTP sheet packaging body 1 may be provided in a folded state.

  Next, with reference mainly to FIG. 2, the characteristic form of the packaging body 1 for PTP sheets of this invention is demonstrated in detail.

  In the sheet-like molded body, for example, a transparent sheet material such as A-PET is processed into irregularities at predetermined portions by an appropriate press molding method (vacuum molding or thermoforming).

  In the sheet-like molded body shown in FIG. 2, the first bent portion 15 located between the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20 has two fold lines 15 a and 15 b that are parallel to each other. Each of the folding lines 15a and 15b is formed as an area thinner than the thickness of the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20. The second bent portion 16 located between the base sheet 10 and the cover sheet 30 has two fold lines 16a and 16b parallel to each other. The respective folding lines 16 a and 16 b are formed as regions thinner than the thickness of the base sheet 10 and the cover sheet 30.

  While the thicknesses of the base sheet 10, the middle sheet 20, and the cover sheet 30 are, for example, 0.3 to 0.5 mm, the fold lines 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b described above are thinner, for example, 0.1. A structure thinned by a groove-like structure formed with a thickness of .about.0.2 mm, or a perforated structure by a combination of penetration and non-penetration at a certain appropriate pitch. Thereby, when an external force is applied to the intermediate sheet 20 or the cover sheet 30, these sheets are easily bent along the folding lines 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b, which are thin regions. Therefore, it is possible to use the PTP sheet packaging body 1 in a state where the whole is folded in three as shown in FIG.

  The base sheet 10 is formed with, for example, a plurality of elliptical window holes 12, 12,. The window holes 12, 12,... Are formed as openings for taking out the medicine enclosed in the PTP sheet 40 accommodated between the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20. In addition, the base sheet 10 has concave grooves (convex ribs when viewed from the outside) 13 extending so as to face each other from the left and right sides (first bent portion 15 and second bent portion 16) toward the center. , 13,... Are formed in plural. In addition, the front-end | tip part of a pair of concave grooves 13 and 13 extended so that it may oppose a horizontal direction is not mutually contacting.

  Further, the base sheet 10 is formed with a plurality of platform-like parts (a bowl-like part when viewed from the outside) 11, 11,... Divided by the above-described concave grooves 13, 13,. . For example, an inclined surface of 45 degrees is formed on the periphery of the base plate-like portions 11, 11,... (See FIG. 7). The above-described window holes 12, 12,... Are formed at substantially central positions of the base plate-like portions 11, 11,. As described above, since the tip portions of the pair of concave grooves 13 and 13 extending facing each other in the lateral direction are not in contact with each other, the base plate-like portions 11 and 11 adjacent in the vertical direction are connected at the center portion. The concave / convex structure of the concave grooves 13, 13,... And the base plate-like portions 11, 11,... Provides the base plate 10 with rigidity, prevents deformation such as warping and twisting, and suppresses bending. Therefore, it is possible to improve the drug take-out performance as compared with the paper container.

  Further, the base sheet 10 has a concave groove (from the outside) that extends oppositely from both the left and right sides on the outer side in the vertical direction of the base plate-like portions located at both ends of the base plate-like portions 11, 11,. When viewed, convex board portions 17 and 18 are formed which are divided into base plates 11 and 11 (when viewed from the outside). These margins 17 and 18 are respectively formed with recesses 14a and 14b that are long in the side (projections when viewed from the outside) for fitting into the fitting portions 21a and 21b of the middle sheet 20, respectively.

  On the other hand, fitting portions 21a and 21b that can be fitted into the concave portions 14a and 14b of the base sheet 10 are long and convex at the end in the vertical direction of the middle sheet 20 (from the outside). It is formed in a concave shape when viewed. The middle sheet 20 has a plurality of slits 22, 22, 22 that have an open portion on the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 2) from the first bent portion 15 and are cut out in a U-shape. Has been. In the middle sheet 20, the slits 22, 22, 22 are formed at positions facing the window holes 12, 12,. Thereby, when the PTP sheet 40 is inserted between the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20, the blister part (convex package enclosing the medicine) 43 of the PTP sheet 40 enters the slit 22.

  The tip of the tongue-like portion 23 formed between a pair of adjacent slits 22 and 22 is formed in an arc shape. As a result, the blister part 43 of the PTP sheet 40 can be easily inserted into the slit 22 and the risk of damaging the user's finger can be reduced.

  Further, linear ribs 24, 24,... Are formed along the peripheral edge portions of the tongue-like portions 23, 23,. Further, the ribs 24, 24 formed on the tongue-like portions 23, 23 adjacent to each other are connected at the back part of the slit 22. This prevents deformation of the middle sheet 20, particularly the tongue-like portions 23, 23, ..., such as warping and twisting, and maintains flatness.

  Note that “the ribs 24 are connected to each other at the back of the slit 22” means that one rib 24 is continuous along the peripheral edge of the back of the slit 22 as shown in FIG. 4, for example. But you can.

  The second bent portion 16 that connects the base sheet 10 and the cover sheet 30 is formed with a convex rib (a concave groove when viewed from the outside) 34 that extends along the folding lines 16a and 16b and has a certain width. Yes. By forming such convex ribs 34, the cover sheet 30 can be bent with a certain distance from the base sheet 10 and the rigidity of the entire packaging body 1 can be increased.

  The cover sheet 30 has a linear rib 35 on its peripheral edge. In addition, an engagement portion that engages with the first bent portion 15 is formed at the center front end portion of the cover sheet 30 to hold the folded state in three. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the engaging portion can be a rectangular piece 31 that protrudes from the outer side of the cover sheet 30 and is folded inward. A cut 19 is provided at a position corresponding to the first bent portion 15, and the state in which the cover sheet 30 is folded on the middle sheet 20 is maintained by inserting the rectangular piece 31 into the cut 19.

  In addition, a mountain-shaped cut 32 is formed at a part of the base of the rectangular piece 31. When the rectangular piece 31 is bent inward from the outer side of the cover sheet 30, the protruding portion 33 is formed by leaving the portion of the cut 32 without being bent. The user can easily open and close the cover sheet 30 while holding the overhanging portion 33 on the finger.

  The PTP sheet package 1 having such a configuration can be used as follows. First, the middle sheet 20 shown in FIG. 2 is folded at the first folding section 15 and is stacked on the central base sheet 10. Then, by fitting the fitting portions 21 a and 21 b of the middle sheet 20 into the recesses 14 a and 14 b of the base sheet 10, the state in which the middle sheet 20 is folded on the base sheet 10 can be maintained. In particular, since the folding lines 15a and 15b are formed in advance as thin regions in the first folding portion 15, the middle sheet 20 can be folded at a predetermined position even with a weak force.

  The PTP sheet 40 can be inserted into a gap formed by folding the middle sheet 20 on the base sheet 10. Here, FIG. 5 (a) shows a front view of the PTP sheet 40, and FIG. 5 (b) shows a side view thereof. In the PTP sheet 40, a predetermined number of blister portions 43, 43,... The flat part 41 and the blister part 43 are integrally formed of transparent PET or the like, and aluminum for enclosing the medicine M covering the opening of the blister parts 43, 43,... On the back side of the flat part 41. A sealing sheet 42 made of foil or the like is pasted.

  In the PTP sheet packaging 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the middle sheet 20 is folded on the base sheet 10, and the blister portion 43 is inserted into the slit 22, while the base sheet 10 and the middle sheet 20 are interposed. The PTP sheet 40 can be inserted easily. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the PTP sheet 40 can be accommodated between them even when the middle sheet 20 is opened. The peripheral portion of the base plate-like portions 11, 11,... Of the base sheet 10 has, for example, a 45 ° slope, so that the PTP sheet 40 can be obtained even when the middle sheet 20 is folded on the base sheet 10. Can be easily accommodated on the base plate-like portion 11 of the base sheet 10. Moreover, easy insertion of the PTP sheet 40 is also supported by the tip of the tongue-like portion 23 between the adjacent slits 22 in the middle sheet 20 being formed in an arc shape.

  The inserted PTP sheet 40 is sandwiched between the base sheet 10 and the intermediate sheet 20 by fitting the fitting portions 21a and 21b into the recesses 14a and 14b. In addition, the PTP sheet 40 can be pulled out and taken out from the folded state of the middle sheet 20, and the PTP sheet 40 can be taken out even when the middle sheet 20 is opened by releasing the fitting.

  Moreover, according to the packaging body 1 for PTP sheets, the inner sheet 20 is set on the inner side, and the cover sheet 30 is folded on the upper surface thereof, whereby a three-fold state as shown in FIG. 3 can be obtained. In particular, since the folding lines 16a and 16b are formed in advance as thin regions in the second folding portion 16, the cover sheet 30 can be folded or opened even with a weak force. By inserting the rectangular piece 31 protruding from the outer side of the cover sheet 30 into the cut 19 of the first bent portion 15, the state in which the cover sheet 30 is folded on the middle sheet 20 is maintained. Thereby, the packaging body for PTP sheets 1 containing the PTP sheet 40 can be carried and stored, and the convenience of handling can be brought about. Further, by closing the cover sheet 30, an unexpected force is applied to the blister portion 43 of the PTP sheet 40, and the medicine does not jump out or spill out from the back surface of the base sheet 10.

  In the PTP sheet packaging body 1, the medicine M can be easily taken out through the window hole 12 on the back surface of the base sheet 10 by opening the cover sheet 30 and pushing the blister part 43 exposed from the slit 22 with a finger. Can do.

  The package 1 for PTP sheets is particularly efficient in managing when and how much the patient takes the medicine. In the example of FIG. 8, a predetermined dose (two tablets in the example of FIG. 8) of medicines M arranged in a single row of slits 22 is arranged. And the row | line | column of such a slit 22 is arranged in the vertical direction corresponding to every dose (the 1st day-the 3rd day in the example of FIG. 8).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable that medication record information (remind information) such as a medication day or a medication time is printed on each surface of the tongue-like portion 23 of the middle sheet 20. The patient can immediately know whether or not he / she has taken the medicine by looking at the presence / absence of the medicine M in the blister unit 43, so that it is possible to prevent forgetting to drink or overdose in light of the medication record information. Furthermore, information such as the type of medicine that is the content, the efficacy, the method of taking, and a cautionary note may be printed on the front and back surfaces of the cover sheet 30.

  Further, the main body of the PTP sheet packaging body 1 is formed of, for example, the concave groove 13 of the base sheet 10, the base plate-like portion 11 divided by them, and the middle sheet 20 in order to prevent deformation such as warping and twisting during use. It has structural rigidity due to the rib 24 of the tongue-like portion 23 and the ribs 34 and 35 of the cover sheet 30. Moreover, since the used PTP sheet 40 can be easily taken out, the PTP sheet package 1 can be used for reuse and collection as a recycling resource.
