 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a flange portion 2 is formed on the upper edge of the container portion 1, and a film 3 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the flange portion 2. The container portion 1 stores the amount of medicine (tablet 4 in the illustrated example) that should be taken at one time, such as one tablet A, three tablets B, and two tablets C. Further, the drug 4 is enclosed in the container portion by the film 3 attached to the flange portion 2. It should be noted that the medicine 4 stored in the container part 1 may be of another dosage form, such as liquid medicine in an amount to be taken at one time. In any case, the container 1 stores the amount of medicine to be taken at one time.

In the embodiment, the container part 1 and the flange part 2 are integrally formed of a plastic material. Thermoplastic materials such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyamide are preferably used as the plastic material. The flange portion 2 is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape having curved portions 5 at its corners.

As shown in FIG. 3, the film 3 of the embodiment has a structure in which a sealant layer 7 is formed on the lower surface of an aluminum film 6. The sealant layer 7 is made of a material that can be adhered to the flange portion 2 by heat sealing, and is made of a thermoplastic material such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or polyamide. The film 3 is formed in a quadrangular shape having a corner portion 8. When the flange portion 2 is heat-sealed, the corner portion 8 of the film 3 protrudes from the curved portion 5 of the flange portion 2 to the outside. ing. Further, in the embodiment, the entire upper surface of the flange portion 2 is not heat-sealed to the lower surface of the film 3 and a ring-shaped welded portion 9 is formed around the opening of the container portion 1 as shown in FIG. ing.

Therefore, when the medicine is taken in the potion pack of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the film 3 attached to the upper surface of the flange portion 2 is used. Peel off. As described above, since the corner portion 8 of the film 3 is configured to protrude from the curved portion 5 of the flange portion 2 to the outside, the corner portion 8 of the film 3 can be removed at any position when the film 3 is peeled off. It is easy to pick, and the lower surface of the film 3 and the upper surface of the flange 2 are only partially bonded by the ring-shaped welded portion 9 as shown in FIG. Can be peeled off.

Thus, after the film 3 is peeled off, the drug 4 contained in the container 1 is drunk, so that the amount of drug to be taken at one time can be taken. Therefore, it is convenient because it eliminates the need for weighing liquid medicine and removing tablets from the sheet while checking the number of tablets each time.

Next, an embodiment of a portion pack in which a plurality of container parts are connected to each other will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the flange portion 21 and the container portion 22 are integrally molded with a plastic material 23. The plastic material 23 of the embodiment is made of polystyrene. In addition, a thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride or polyamide is preferably used as the plastic material 23. The container portion 22 is formed in a recess having an appropriate depth, and as will be described later, the container portion 22 stores the amount of medicine to be taken at one time. Further, the adjacent container portions 22 are connected to each other by the flange portion 21 via the cut line 24, and at the cut line portion 24, the container portions 22 can be easily separated one by one. There is. Further, in the embodiment, three container portions 22 are connected per row via the cut lines 24. Although the cut line 24 shown in the figure is made of perforations, the cut line 24 is formed by making the thickness of the cut line 24 thinner than the other parts of the flange 21 to form a weak line. It is also possible to make it possible to easily separate the container parts 22 at the part of.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable to provide stepped ribs 25 on the container portion 22. In the process of manufacturing the potion pack of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the plastic parts 23 may be stacked so that the container parts 22 are fitted together. If the ribs 25 are provided, the upper and lower ribs 25 engage with each other when the plastic materials 23 are piled up in this way, which can prevent the container portions 22 from fitting in too deeply, and the plastic pieces 23 can be stacked from each other. It becomes easy to take out 23 one by one. Problems such as breakage of the plastic material 23 and dents of the container portion 22 can be avoided. Further, when the ribs 25 are provided in several stages as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, for example, the position of the bottom rib is 5 cc, and the position of the second rib from the bottom is 7.5 cc. It is convenient to indicate the filling amount of liquid medicine by the position of each rib.

Next, FIG. 9 shows the film 26 applied to the upper surface of the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 described above. This film 26 is also provided with a cut line 27 that coincides with the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 described above. At this cut line 27, the film 26 is easily separated into three pieces in each row. . Similarly to the above, the cut line 27 can be formed to be a perforated line and a weak line in which the thickness of the portion of the cut line 27 is thinner than that of the other portion of the film 26. As shown in FIG. 10, the film 26 of the embodiment has a structure in which a sealant layer 29 is formed on the lower surface of an aluminum film 28. The sealant layer 29 is made of a material that can be adhered to the plastic material 23 by heat sealing, and is made of a thermoplastic material such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or polyamide.

The potion pack according to the embodiment of the present invention in which a plurality of container parts are connected to each other contains the amount of medicine to be administered at a time to each container part 22 of the plastic material 23 having the above-mentioned configuration. The film 26 is housed, the film 26 is superposed on the upper surface of the flange portion 21, and the sealant layer 29 on the upper surface of the flange portion 21 and the lower surface of the film 26 is heat-sealed so that the film 26 can be peeled off from the flange portion 21. It has been worn.

FIG. 11 shows an embodiment in which liquid medicine is stored as an example of a medicine. That is, the film 26 is detachably attached to the upper surface of the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23, and the liquid medicine 31 is stored in each of the container portions 22 sealed by this. Each container portion 22 stores liquid medicine 31 in an amount to be taken at one time, for example, 5 cc each. Further, when the film 26 is attached to the upper surface of the plastic material 23 as described above, the positions of the cut line 24 provided on the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 and the cut line 27 provided on the film 26 are aligned. I am doing it.

Next, FIG. 12 shows an embodiment in which tablets are stored. Similar to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11, a film 26 is peelably attached to the upper surface of the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23, and the tablets 32 are stored in the respective sealed container portions 22. There is. Each container 22 contains tablets 32, such as one tablet A, three tablets B, and two tablets C, which are dosed at one time. As in the case of FIG. 11, the cut lines 24 provided on the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 and the cut lines 27 provided on the film 26 are in the same position.

Therefore, when a medicine is taken in the potion pack of the embodiment of the present invention in which a plurality of container portions configured as described above are connected to each other, as shown in FIG. By using the cut lines 27, the container parts 22 are separated one by one. As described above, since the cut line 24 provided on the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 and the cut line 27 provided on the film 26 are in the same position, the cut line 24 and the cut line 27 are bent. The container portions 22 can be easily separated one by one by pulling or pulling.

Next, in the container portion 22 thus separated, as shown in FIG. 14, the film 26 adhered to the upper surface of the flange portion 21 is peeled off. When heat sealing the upper surface of the flange portion 21 of the plastic material 23 and the sealant layer 29 of the film 26, it is possible to weld the entire upper surface of the flange portion 21 and the lower surface of the film 26. In order to facilitate the peeling work of the film 26, it is preferable to form a ring-shaped welded portion 33 around the opening of the container portion 22 as shown in FIG.

Thus, after the film 26 has been peeled off, the drug contained in the container can be swallowed to take the desired amount of the drug at a time. Therefore, it is convenient because it is not necessary to weigh the liquid and take out the tablet from the sheet while checking the number each time.

The present invention is not limited to the potion cup described in the above embodiments, and can be modified appropriately. For example, the dosage form of the drug contained in the container is not limited to liquid medicine and tablets, but the present invention can be widely applied to powder medicine, capsules, pills, and the like. It should be noted that it is convenient to use a metered dose pump when filling the container with liquid medicine. Further, the flange portion and the container portion are not limited to polystyrene, and other thermoplastic materials such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polyamide can be preferably used.

In addition, the potion pack in which a plurality of container parts are connected to each other has a structure in which the container parts are connected to each other via the flange part and the film as described in the embodiments. Are connected to each other only through the flanges, and the flanges are provided with cut lines for facilitating the separation of each container, and the film is a separate body for each container.・ Each container part is connected to each other only through the film, and the film is provided with a cut line for facilitating the separation of each container part. The flange part and the container part (plastic material) are provided for each container part. Separate it. It is also possible to have such a configuration.
