Description

  The present invention relates to a technique suitable for application to a medicine box for storing medicines.

Conventionally, a service has been provided in which each home is regularly visited to check the contents of a medicine box that stores medicines, and to supplement the missing medicines.
A salesperson (dispatcher) visits the consumer's home, arranges a medicine box (arrangement box) containing medicines, settles the price for the next visit, and collects it This is a pharmaceutical sales business.
This regular medicine replenishment patrol service has been known for a long time under the name of “Toyama's drug sales”, and the official name is placement sales.

Briefly explain the business conditions of the placement sales business.
Place the medicine in the customer's general household in the placement box, and hand over to the customer a "check-in slip" that specifies the item and quantity of the medicine placed in the box and ask for storage.
The receipt slip is also referred to as “pharmaceutical storage / receipt record” (hereinafter abbreviated as “storage / receipt record”). The storage and receipt records include the name of the customer at the place of visit (address), the name of the person in charge of the visit, the date of visit, the product name, quantity, unit price, and the amount used during this visit, The basic information includes the deposit amount, the name of the product, the quantity, the unit price, the company name, the company contact phone number and the FAX number.

Most of the customers in the placement sales business are ordinary households. Unlike companies, etc., even if a staff member asks a customer to store a storage / receipt record in an appropriate place in the home, it is unlikely to be thorough and cannot be expected. Also, it is easy to forget to keep such documents that are not directly related to me. In the worst case, accidents such as trash and waste paper collection are conceivable.
An example of a conventional medicine box is shown in Patent Document 1.

A conventional medicine chest is shown in FIG.
The medicine box 1101 is an extremely general and well-known medicine box having a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
The outer box 1102 is formed by molding an ABS resin. It is a material that can withstand external shocks.
The medicine drawer 1103 is made of transparent acrylic. Transparent material is used so that the contents can be easily seen.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-192343

  However, in order to store, for example, a B5 size storage / receipt record in the medicine box having such a configuration, processing such as folding is required. In addition, storage / recording records become dirty or hurt with access to the drawer, such as using or changing medicines. In other words, the conventional medicine chest 1101 shown in FIG. 11 and the medicine chest as shown in Patent Document 1 are not suitable for keeping the storage / receipt record together with the medicine.

  The present invention has been made in view of such points, and to provide a medicine box that does not impair robustness and manufacturability as compared with conventional ones and is excellent in storage of “pharmaceutical storage / receipt records”. With the goal.

  The present invention for solving the above problems includes an outer box that is hermetically sealed except for an opening provided on a front surface, a medicine drawer that is detachably stored in the opening of the outer box, and a medicine drawer. Further, the present invention relates to a medicine box characterized by comprising a document drawer which is formed thin and is horizontally placed at a position perpendicular to the medicine drawer and is detachably stored.

The inventor has come up with a drawer for storing documents in a conventional medicine box.
In doing so, it was necessary to minimize design changes to existing plastic pharmaceutical boxes.
Therefore, while following the materials and techniques used in the conventional medicine box as it is, I came up with the idea of storing the document drawer anew by adding ideas to the outer box.

  With this device, a dedicated drawer for storing “pharmaceuticals storage / receipt records” corresponding to the 2006 revised Pharmaceutical Affairs Law is provided in the medicine box, so there is no risk of loss or damage of the storage / receipt records. Can provide medicine box.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a medicine chest 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The medicine box 101 stores a medicine drawer 103 and a document drawer 104 in an outer box 102.
The outer box 102 is formed by molding ABS resin. It is a material that can withstand external shocks. This is the same structure as the conventional medicine chest. However, the configuration of the inside is slightly changed compared to the conventional one. This will be described later.
The medicine drawer 103 is formed by molding transparent acrylic. Transparent material is used so that the contents can be easily seen. The appearance is the same as that of a conventional medicine box drawer, but the contents are slightly devised. This will be described later.

Document drawer 104 is a major component of the present invention. The outer box 102 is stored on the upper side of the medicine drawer 103 so as to be put in and out. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the width is the same as that of the medicine drawer 103, and the height is thinner than that of the medicine drawer 103.
In other words, a dedicated drawer for storing a “medicine storage / receipt record” (hereinafter abbreviated as “storage / receipt record”) requested by the customer to be stored by the arrangement sales business is provided in the medicine box. That is the document drawer 104.

The arrangement sales business is different in sales form from normal door-to-door sales. This form is also expressed as “route sales”.
Medicine boxes that are kept at home do not trade for goods unless the medicine is opened.
The opened medicine will be recorded at the next patrol service and will be paid for.
In other words, the medicine box is the “pharmacy display shelf” itself.
By the way, medicines can be properly used according to the symptoms of patients.
Therefore, when taking medicines, it is necessary to read and understand the instructions in advance.
The instructions for medicines are compulsory by law, and the effect of the contents, the ingredients, the method of taking, and the precautions for storage and use are also written on the exterior of the medicine.
However, detailed information about side effects is not described. Furthermore, there is no description of responses to simple frequently asked questions for each drug.
In other words, detailed instructions that provide information to help determine when this drug should be used now cannot be viewed without opening the drug.
As for the regular medicine provided in the service of the arrangement sales business, the opening act becomes the act of purchasing the product.
Here, there arises a contradiction that in order to confirm the content of the necessary medicine, the medicine must be purchased.
Therefore, along with the storage / receipt record, the instructions for the medicine stored in the medicine box are also stored in the document drawer.
The customer can decide whether or not to purchase (open) after reading the manual in the document drawer and confirming the contents before purchasing the product.
In addition, with the revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in 2006, there will be an obligation to provide information in the second category of pharmaceuticals, and a demand for consultation in the second and third categories. Therefore, in a form corresponding to this, store detailed instructions for each item together with the “custody slip” in the document drawer provided in the medicine box. By doing so, it is possible to respond to the provision of services to customers and the aspect of responding to legal obligations.

  It should be noted that if a large number of instructions for medicines are stored in the document drawer 104, the contents can be enormous. Therefore, it is possible to consider a business model in which the instructions stored in the document drawer 104 are kept simple and detailed contents are provided via the Internet. For example, the QR code printed on the manual may be read by a mobile phone, and the detailed manual may be presented by accessing the Internet using the mobile phone.

2A and 2B are external perspective views of the outer box 102. FIG.
2A is an external perspective view of the outer box 102 in a state where the medicine drawer 103 and the document drawer 104 are extracted from the outer box 102 constituting the medicine box 101. FIG.
Here, the outer box 102 will be described again.
The front surface of the outer box 102 is provided with an opening 202 for detachably storing a medicine drawer 103 and a document drawer 104 described later.
FIG. 2B is an external perspective view of the rear side of the outer box 102 that is located in the opposite direction of the opening 202. The rear side is closed by a sealing plate 205. This is to prevent dust from entering when the medicine drawer 103 is housed in the outer box 102.

Reference is again made to FIG.
Support plates 203 and 204 are visible from the opening 202. The support plates 203 and 204 are provided on the inner side wall of the outer box 102. These are for supporting the document drawer 104 inside the outer box 102 when the document drawer 104 is stored in the outer box 102. That is, the document drawer 104 is placed on the instruction plates 203 and 204.

FIG. 2A also shows the medicine drawer 103.
Inside the medicine drawer 103, slits 207 and 208 are provided. These slits 207 and 208 are provided with cuts, and a partition 206 is fitted into the cuts. The medicine drawer 103 is provided in parallel with the direction in which the medicine drawer 103 is inserted into and removed from the outer box 102 by slits 207 and 208.

Under the revised Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, generic drugs are classified into the first, second, and third categories based on the difference in risk caused by the difference in content.
Class I drugs are classified as particularly high-risk drugs depending on their ingredients, and can be handled by pharmacists. The provision of information on the contents is stipulated as an obligation.
Second-class pharmaceuticals are classified as drugs with a relatively high risk depending on the contained components, and can be handled by pharmacists and registered sellers (store sales and placement sales). The provision of information on the content is stipulated as a duty of effort.
Third-class pharmaceuticals are classified as pharmaceuticals with a relatively low risk depending on the content, and can be handled by pharmacists and registered distributors (store sales and distribution sales). It is stipulated that the provision of information on the contents is unnecessary.
In addition, for pharmaceuticals of all the first, second, and third classifications, a consultation demand (an action that must be taken whenever there is a consultation from a person receiving a prescription for pharmaceuticals) is required and required.

At the time of filing of the present application, when a visiting sales agent sells pharmaceutical products to customers, there is a movement to determine the obligation to clearly classify the pharmaceutical products according to the classification to which the pharmaceutical products correspond.
Therefore, the arrangement sales business needs to sort the medicine box medicine boxes according to the classification.
Therefore, the medicine drawer 103 is partitioned by the partition 206.
The second and third categories of pharmaceuticals that can be handled by the placement sales business are classified using the partition 206.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the medicine drawer 103.
As described above, the medicine drawer 103 is made of transparent acrylic. Therefore, the classification cards 302 and 303 are sandwiched between the slits 207. With the notation of “second classification” written on the classification card 302 and the notation of “third classification” written on the classification card 303, the risk of the medicine stored in the medicine drawer 103 is clearly indicated to the consumer. Recognize.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view seen from above when the outer box 102 is cut in the horizontal direction.
The instruction plates 203 and 204 are provided with a length and a width sufficient to hold their positions when the document drawer 104 is accommodated in the outer box 102 and pulled out.

FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of the document drawer 104.
The document drawer 104 is designed with a depth sufficient to accommodate approximately A4 size documents.
The handle 402 forms a bulge to the outside so that it does not get in the way when the document is stored inside the document drawer 104.
The front decorative plate 403 is provided so as not to create a gap between the medicine drawer 103 and the document drawer 104 in a state where the document drawer 104 and the medicine drawer 103 are stored in the outer box 102. For this reason, the width of the lower convex portion 404 of the front decorative plate 403 extending downward from the bottom side of the document drawer 104 is substantially equal to the thickness of the support plates 203 and 204.

The partition 206 shown to Fig.2 (a) and FIG. 3 is the structure which divides the medicine drawer 103 into two. It can replace with this and can also take the structure which changes the structure of a partition and subdivides the medicine drawer 103 further.

  Customers who receive the services of placement sales business differ in the types of drugs they receive depending on their physical condition and symptoms. For this reason, it is necessary to classify (categorize) the medicines to be provided according to the customers. Therefore, the above-described extendable partition is provided inside the medicine drawer 103. By providing a partition with improved flexibility in installation, it helps the service provider to improve the efficiency of the work for replenishing medicines and recording the supply of medicines in the storage and receipt records, and reduce mistakes in work.

Under the revised Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, generic drugs are classified into the first, second, and third categories based on the difference in risk caused by the difference in content. At the time of filing of the present application, when a visiting sales agent sells pharmaceutical products to customers, there is a movement to determine the obligation to clearly classify the pharmaceutical products according to the classification to which the pharmaceutical products correspond.
Therefore, the arrangement sales business needs to sort medicine boxes according to the classification.
At that time, in order to effectively use the limited space of the medicine box, it came to develop a stretchable partition and a medicine drawer corresponding to this.

The following application examples can be considered in the present embodiment.
(1) In order to prevent dust from entering more firmly, felt tape can be applied to the inside of the opening 202 of the outer box 102 and the upper side of the front lid portion of the medicine drawer 103.
