Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medication support device enabling a person with handicapped one hand or both hands to take portion-packaged medicament, and hardly drop the medicament.SOLUTION: When portion-packaged medicament is set in a portion-packaged medicament insertion port 1, a roller 2 for moving the portion-packaged medicament is operated, and comes to a position suitable for cutting the upper part of the portion-packaged medicament so as to operate a part 4 for cutting the portion-packaged medicament upper part and cut the portion-packaged medicament upper part. The roller 2 for moving the portion-packaged medicament is again operated so as to move the portion-packaged medicament to a position of a heater 5. The portion-packaged medicament is moved to the position of the heater 5 and is warmed with a curved recessed surface in the inside by a shape memory material 6 with a narrow width and a shape memory material 7 with a wide width, and the portion-packaged medicament upper part is sandwiched and adhered. When the roller 2 for moving the portion-packaged medicament is again operated, the portion-packaged medicament returns to the portion-packaged medicament insertion port 1. The shape memory materials are cooled and curved so as to become a shape facilitating taking, and be set.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention is a medication support device that opens a medicine that has been packaged (hereinafter referred to as a medicine for packaging) into a shape that is easy to take.

  The problem to be solved is to cut the packaged medicine with a medication support device.

  In addition, when the packaged medicine is cut by the device, the cut end is changed to a shape that is difficult to drop and easy to take by the medication support device.

  In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, first, when a packaged medicine is inserted into the medication support apparatus, the medication support apparatus automatically cuts the upper part of the packaged medicine.

  The top part of the packaged medicine is cut with a shape memory material that is straightened when heated and curved when cooled, with the curved concave surface on the inside, and the upper part of the packaged drug is sandwiched and bonded.

  At this time, one is sandwiched between thin shape memory materials and the other is sandwiched between wide shape memory materials.

  When the packaging medicine to which the shape memory material is bonded is sent to the outside of the medication support device, the shape memory material is cooled and curved, and is set in a shape that is difficult to drop and easy to take.

  The drug taker takes a packaged medicine that is in a form that is difficult to drop and easy to take.

  Even hemiplegic patients can take sachets with one hand.

  Even those who are not hemiplegic are less likely to drop when taking and are easy to take.

  Even if you do not have both hands, you can take it with your mouth.

It is the internal structure seen from the side of this invention. It is an internal structure seen from the front of this invention. It is an example of the flowchart of this invention. It is an example of the usage method of this invention.

  One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

  When the packaged medicine is set in the packaged drug insertion port 1, the roller 2 for moving the packaged drug is operated, and the packaged drug passes through the place 3 where the packaged drug moves.

  When the packaged medicine comes to a position just right for cutting the upper part, the portion 4 for cutting the upper part of the packaged drug is activated to cut the upper part of the packaged drug.

  When the upper part of the packaged medicine is cut, the roller 2 for moving the packaged medicine is activated again and moves the packaged medicine to the position of the heater 5.

  When the packaged medicine moves to the position of the heater 5, it is heated with the narrow shape memory material width 6 and the wide shape memory material width 7 with the curved concave surface inside, and the upper part of the packaged medicine is sandwiched and bonded.

  The roller 2 for moving the packaged medicine is activated again, and the packaged medicine returns to the packaged drug insertion port 1.

  The shape memory material is cooled and curved, and is set in a shape that is easy to take.
