JP3117622U - Circular blister pack with timing indication - Google Patents

Abstract

When a character such as a day of the week is printed in advance on a blister pack to help memorize a dose, the day of the week or the like on which the dose is to be taken can be used without any sense of discomfort regardless of where the blister pack is located.
SOLUTION: Blister's timing is to be repeated because the timing to be taken is "morning / noon / evening" and "Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday". The arrangement is annular, and the display characters are arranged annularly accordingly.

Description

  The present invention relates to a blister pack shape and a display method for assisting memory of taking contents.

When taking, drinking, taking, etc. regularly, such as once daily every day or once in the morning, noon, evening, etc. Because of the chronicity, the impression of taking is weak, and the fact of taking is often forgotten after the fact. If the memory of the previous dose is not clear immediately after the timing of taking the dose, it would be very inconvenient because it would be difficult to determine whether the dose should be taken at that time. To prevent this from happening, there is a method of dividing and storing in advance by using a pill case, etc., but this method also has the disadvantage of causing similar confusion if the advance preparation is not complete. . In addition, a method of printing the day of the week on a blister pack has also been proposed (Patent Document 1), and since a used record remains, it is possible to easily help memorize medication, but the display has a beginning and an end. Therefore, if the day of the week you start using does not match the day of the week displayed on the blister pack, you will start using it from the middle position, which is not consistent with the general sense of starting from the end. The effect is halved.

  In order to leave a used record and help memorize easily, the present invention makes it easy to remember where the day of the week to start taking is located in the blister pack when characters such as the day of the week are printed on the blister pack in advance. It is intended to help you get started.

  The timing that should be taken is "morning, noon, evening" and "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday". Is arranged in a ring shape, and the display characters are arranged in a ring shape, thereby thinning the image of the end portion reminiscent of the start of use and eliminating the uncomfortable feeling that the start of use does not coincide with the end portion.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to start using from the position indicating the dosing timing without a sense of incongruity, so it is possible to help memorize the dosing by a simple method in which characters such as days of the week are printed in advance on the blister pack.

  First, as described in (Patent Document 1), a blister having a multiple of the content consumed in one cycle such as a day of the week, “morning, noon, and evening”, which represents the timing of taking the content, for example. A pack 1 sheet is formed, and a day of the week, terms such as “morning / daytime / night”, their abbreviations, symbols, pictograms, and the like are displayed near each blister. The process up to this point is the same as Reference Document 1. Next, the shape of the blister pack and the blister arrangement are annular to eliminate the end. A typical form of this is to form a blister pack in a disk shape and arrange the blisters and the display in a circle. It should be noted that the display characters and the like are arranged point-symmetrically such as in the upward direction or the left direction so as not to have directionality.

  In order to realize a perfect ring shape, it becomes a polygon with the number of elements constituting the above-mentioned circle or the period of interest, for example, manufacturing, storage, etc. so that it becomes a heptagon when focusing on the period of one week. It is not a convenient form. However, in practice, it is not necessary to stick to these exact forms, and any ring that can lose its directionality may be used. For example, if the focus is on one week, a blister pack is formed in a regular quadrilateral and considered as a pseudo octagon, and among the triangular squares divided into eight equal parts, 7 squares are used. It's okay.

  Also, even if one cycle is arranged with directionality in the vertical or horizontal direction, another one cycle is arranged in the relationship of the previous one cycle and 180 degree points, and each end is connected It is also possible to express the ring shape.

  Figure 1 reflects the principle most faithfully. The blister pack (1) is formed into a circular shape, and is radially divided from the center of the circle into seven sectors by a sewing machine wire (4) or the like. Each day of the week is assigned to each sector, and the blister placement and the term (3) indicating the day of the week are displayed symmetrically.

  FIG. 2 shows the blister pack (1) arranged in a pseudo-annular shape with a square outer shape. Instead of the exact seven divisions, two days are assigned to three of the four triangles formed by connecting diagonal lines, and one day is assigned to the remaining one, and the arrangement of blisters (2) in these triangles and the display of the day of the week etc. (3) is point-symmetric from the center.

  In FIG. 3, the blister pack (1) has a rectangular outer shape, and the display is expressed in order for one cycle of each side, but the other cycle is placed on the 180-degree point and the end is on the opposite side. It is configured to be continuous and annular as a whole.

It is a front view which shows this invention and Example 1. FIG. It is a front view which shows this invention and Example 2. FIG. It is a front view which shows this invention and Example 3. FIG.
