[0002]
  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a technique for enclosing a single dose of a drug (tablet, capsule, powder) in a sachet to prevent an error in the type of drug and the time of taking the drug.
  However, in a hospital pharmacy or insurance pharmacy (hereinafter referred to as a pharmacy, etc.), an expensive medicine packaging device (several hundreds of thousands to several million yen) is used to automatically enclose a predetermined medicine in a packaging. is required. Also, maintenance costs are necessary to maintain performance. In addition, if the cleaning of the medicine packaging device is incomplete after enclosing the medicine (mainly powder), a minute amount (contamination) of other medicine may occur.
[0003]
  For this type of package, a multivesicular medical bag is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). There are two types of multi-vesicular medical sachets, after peeling the release paper from the adhesive layer, folding the back paper flap and joining the extended end of the front paper, intermediate paper and back paper with the adhesive layer. The pocket portion is sealed and formed.
  In addition, the continuous medicine bag used at the time of dispensing in a medical institution such as a pharmacy is configured to bend the lid pieces adjacent to the left and right sides of the medicine bag along a folding line and fix them with a fixing part such as a stapler or a fastener (for example, , See Patent Document 2).

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0004]
  In Patent Document 1, it is necessary to peel off the release paper and bend the flap at the time of sealing the package, and in Patent Document 2, the lid pieces must be folded. For this reason, especially in pharmacies where a large amount of treatment is required, sealing of the sachet takes time and the sealing efficiency is lowered, and there is room for improvement to efficiently enclose the drug.
[0005]
  An object of the present invention is a package that can efficiently enclose a medicine by a manual operation by a pharmacist without using an expensive medicine packaging apparatus in a pharmacy or the like.andContinuous drug packagingBodyIn offer.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0006]
  The invention of claim 1 is a bag-like package having a medicine inlet provided between two open ends formed to overlap two sheets and facing the upper end.is there. The sealing band isAffixed to the inside of the drug inletBeingSeal the open ends together on the sealing side. Release paperCover the sealing side of the sealing strip in a peelable manner so that a part of it protrudes from the drug inlet.
[0007]
  In this case, the sheet paper may be of any material (other than paper) as long as it can be broken by hand when taking the medicine. The release paper may be any material (other than paper) as long as it can be peeled off from the sealing band at the time of sealing. In addition, since a part of the release paper protrudes from the drug inlet, when sealing the package containing the drug, the release paper can be easily removed from the sealing band by picking and pulling the protruding part. Can be peeled off. Further, when the drug is put into the package, the protruding portion functions as a guide as it is, so that the drug can be easily put in.

  According to the invention of claim 2The medicine packaging continuum comprises a bag-like packaging body having a medicine inlet provided between two open ends that are overlapped with each other and opposed to the upper end. Yes. The sealing band is attached to the inner surface of the medicine inlet of the package, and the opening ends are sealed on the sealing side. The release paper covers the sealing side of the sealing strip in a peelable manner so that part of the release paper protrudes from the drug inlet.
  The sheet paper in this case may be of any material (other than paper) as long as it can be broken by hand when taking the medicine. The release paper may be any material (other than paper) as long as it can be peeled off at the time of sealing. Further, since a part of the release paper protrudes from the medicine inlet, the same can be said as in the first aspect.
[0009]
  Invention of Claim 3soIsA small protrusion that can be identified by touch is formed on the package. For this reason, the number, shape, arrangement relationship, and the like of the small protrusions of the package function as information, and the time of taking the medicine can be confirmed. As a result, it becomes an index for preventing an error in taking a medicine, particularly when a visually handicapped person who is blind is taking a medicine.
[0010]
  Invention of Claim 4soIsA cutout, a cut line, or a resectable line that can be identified by touch is formed at the bonding portion of the boundary portion between adjacent wrapping bodies. For this reason, as in claim 3, it is an index for preventing an error in the method of taking the medicine.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[Example 1]
[0011]
  First, the present inventionExample 1Will be described with reference to FIGS.
  As shown in FIG. 1, the medicine package continuous body A is formed by continuously forming the package bodies 1, 1,..., And the adhesive surface 20 (sealing side) is attached to the medicine inlet 11 where two sheets overlap. ) Is coated with a release paper 21. The double-faced tape 2 (sealing band) is adhered.
  In the present embodiment, the belt-like sheet paper is folded in the longitudinal direction, and the vertical and horizontal open sides are formed as flat press plates 31 and 31 (see FIG. 4) except for the central portion (drug inlet 11) of the upper side 12. .. Are continuously formed.
[0012]
  The upper side 12 is heat-sealed only at the inner side of the plate portion by press plate portions 32 and 32 (see FIG. 4) provided with a groove 30 considering the thickness of the double-sided tape 2. Thereby, it can heat-seal | fuse without producing wrinkles in a boundary part.
  Further, between the fusion part 13 and the fusion part 14, the package 1MutualA perforation 15 is formed for separating the.
[0013]
  The double-sided tape 2 peels off the release paper attached to the opposite side of the release paper 21 (which is silicon-processed for easy peeling), and affixes the adhesive surface to the inner surface of the sheet paper of the drug inlet 11. . In addition, the part which protrudes from the chemical | medical agent inlet 11 of the double-sided tape 2 does not provide the adhesive surface. The double-sided tape 2 (release paper 21) has a trapezoidal shape in which the upper side 22 is longer than the lower side 23.
[0014]
  Since the medicine package continuum A is wound so that the side where the double-sided tape 2 which is a sealing band is not attached is on the outside,"Roll"It is easy to hold the opening.
  In addition, the medicine package continuous body A is stored by being wound around a winding core. The length of the winding core is taken into consideration with the release paper 21 protruding from the drug insertion port 11 (extended length + packaging). If it is set to be equal to or more than the vertical side of the body 1, the release paper 21 can be protected from bending or the like.
  Furthermore, if the release paper 21 protruding from the drug inlet 11 is folded so as to close the drug inlet 11, dust and the like can be prevented from entering during storage until the drug is charged. There is no need to increase the length of the lead.
[0015]
  Further, a perforation 24 may be formed in the short direction in the approximate center of the release paper 21 (see the medicine packaging continuous body B in FIG. 5).See).
  In this way, when the medicine 61-69 is put in, the opening state of the medicine inlet 11 can be maintained by folding the perforation at the perforation 24, and the medicine 61-69 can be easily put in. The perforation 24 is formed up to the front of the adhesive surface 20 or up to the lower end.
  Next, a method for producing the medicine package continuous body A will be described with reference to FIG.
  In addition, the medicine packaging continuous body A to be supplied to a pharmacy or the like is manufactured by the medicine packaging continuous body manufacturer.
(1) A band-shaped sheet paper folded in half in the longitudinal direction and wound in a roll shape is fed out in the longitudinal direction, and the opening 3 is inserted and opened at the upper part of the sheet paper.
(2) The upper side 22 side of the double-sided tape 2 from which the release paper attached to the opposite side of the release paper 21 is peeled is sandwiched between the gripping portions 41 of the robot 4, and an adhesive surface is placed on the inner surface of the sheet paper (position of the drug inlet 11). paste. In addition, the adhesive surface is not provided in the part expected to protrude from the medicine inlet 11.
[0016]
(3) Next, the half-folded belt-like sheet is removed from the center portion of the upper side 12 (the position of the drug inlet 11), and the vertical and horizontal open sides are flat press plates 31, 31 (see FIG. 4). ) To form the package 1, 1,... Continuously.
  At the same time, the upper side 12 is pressed while being heated by the press plate portions 32 and 32 with the grooves 30 in consideration of the thickness of the double-sided tape 2, and only the outer part of the upper side 12 is thermally fused.
  In this embodiment, a set of press plates (substantially “shape”) having a press plate portion 31 and a press plate portion 32 is employed.
(4) Fusion part 13−The blades 5 and 5 are sandwiched between the fused portions 14, and the package 1MutualA perforation 15 is formed for separating the.
(5) Roll up into a roll and supply to a pharmacy.
[0017]
  Next, a method of encapsulating the drug in the package 1 of the drug package continuous body A in a pharmacy or the like will be described with reference to FIGS.
1. The medicine package continuous body A is fed out in the longitudinal direction so that the medicine inlet 11 is positioned on the upper side (see FIG. 2).
2. A medicine 61-64 to be taken at a predetermined taking time (for example, morning in the morning, noon, evening) is put into the package 1 from the medicine inlet 11 (see FIG. 2). In addition, when a chemical | medical agent is powdery, you may use a hopper.
3. The release paper 21 is peeled off from the double-sided tape 2 adhered to the drug inlet 11 of the package 1 where the drug 61-69 has been charged, and the adhesive surface 20 is adhered to the inner surface of the sheet. Thereby, the medicine 61-69 is enclosed in the package 1.
  In addition, when the medicine 61-69 for several days to several weeks is enclosed in the package 1, the enclosed parts are sequentially sent out to the right in the figure and the medicine is put into the unencapsulated portion.
[0018]
  Next, advantages of the medicine package continuous body A of the present embodiment will be described.
[A] If a pharmacy or the like purchases a medicine packaging continuum A from a medicine packaging continuum manufacturer, the medicine 61-69 can be efficiently separated manually without using an expensive medicine packaging device on the pharmacy side. It can be enclosed in the envelopes 1, 1,. Thereby, there is no possibility of contamination (contamination) of other drugs due to incomplete cleaning of the drug packaging apparatus after the drug (mainly powder) is encapsulated, which may occur in the drug packaging apparatus.
[A] Since a part of the double-sided tape 2 protrudes from the drug inlet 11, when sealing the package 1 into which the drug 61-69 has been sealed, the protruding part is picked and pulled. The release paper 21 can be easily peeled off from the tape 2.
[0019]
  Further, when the medicine 61-69 is put into the package 1, the protruding portion functions as a guide as it is, so that the medicine 61-69 can be easily put in.
[C] The drug inlet 11 is formed at the center of the upper side 12, and the upper side 12 other than the drug inlet 11 is heat-sealed. Since the drug inlet 11 is narrow, once the drug 61-69 has been charged, it is difficult to spill during the work up to the encapsulation, and sealing is also possible."wrinkleWithout producinglineCanThe
[D] The double sided tape 2 (release paper 21) has a trapezoidal shape in which the lower side 23 located inside the package 1 is shorter than the upper side 22 located outside the package 1. As a result, the medicine 61-69 can be easily put in and is not easily spilled.
[0020]
  Moreover, when sealing the package 1 into which the medicine 61-69 is charged, the release paper 21 attached to the lower side 23 can be easily peeled off by picking and pulling the upper side 22.
[E] When viewed from the side of the pharmaceutical packaged continuous product manufacturer, the double-sided tape 2 is commercially available and thus easily available and inexpensive. For this reason, the medicine packaging continuous body A can be manufactured at low cost.
[F] In a conventional semi-automatic drug packaging device"Tablet candy"Drug to"Manual winding work"However, if the medicine packaging continuum A is used, it can be carried out as it is at the medicine inlet 11, so that the dispensing efficiency is high.
[Ki] When the packaged dispensing is correctly performed or when the dispensing audit is continuously performed, if the release paper 21 is pulled out from the package 1 as a mark indicating the completion of the auditing, the auditing can be reliably performed. In the unlikely event that an insertion error is found, the release paper 21 is pulled out and sealed after replacement with the correct medicine. Thereby, it is possible to easily correct an input error.
[Example 2]
[0021]
  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the medicine package continuous body B, the shape of the portion 230 protruding from the drug inlet 11 of the package 1 is approximately three months. Further, a perforation 24 is formed in the short direction in the approximate center of the release paper 21 covering the adhesive surface 20. The perforation 24 extends to the front of the adhesive surface 20 or to the lower end. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, when the medicine is introduced, the opening state of the medicine introduction port 11 can be maintained by spreading it with the finger 8 or the like and folding it at the perforation 24.

  A rectangular sheet is folded in half in the short direction, the open side other than the drug inlet 11 is heat-sealed, and the opposite side of the double-sided tape 2 with the adhesive surface 20 covered with the release paper 21 is the side of the drug inlet 11. A plurality of packages 1 are manufactured by sticking to the inner surface of the sheet paper.The
  Then, each package 1 is inserted into the grooved holder portion 71 of the loading jig 7, the drug loading port 11 is widened with the fingers 8 or the like, and the valley is folded at the perforation 24, and the opened state of the drug loading port 11 is maintained. Then, the drug is introduced as shown in FIG.
[Example 5]
[0024]
  As shown in FIG. 5B, the adhesive surface 20 may protrude from the release paper 21 of the double-sided tape 2. With this configuration, the sealing property is further improved.
[Example 6]
[0025]
  As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 9, the packing body 1 may be substantially circular or triangular.
  For example, a drug enclosed in a substantially circular package 1 is taken in the morning, a drug enclosed in a triangular package 1 is taken in the day, and a drug enclosed in the rectangular package 1 is taken in the evening This way, even if you are visually impaired, there will be no mistakes when taking them.
[Example 7]
[0026]
  As shown in FIG. 10, the medicine inlet may be formed at the corner of the package 1. In this case, the corner part of the package 1 functions as a guide part at the time of medicine injection.

Furthermore, the attachment position of the double-sided tape 2 may be on the left side or the right side in addition to the center between the adjacent fusion parts 83-fusion part 83 of the package 84.
Example 12
[0031]
  In the package 50, the sheet paper 52 of the medicine inlet 51 on the side where the double-sided tape 2 is not attached is folded in two, and extends upward from the double-sided tape 2 (see FIG. 14). For this reason, the lower end portion of the sheet paper 52 is directed toward the inside of the packaging body to act as a valve body that prevents backflow, the medicine once put into the packaging body is difficult to spill outside, and does not touch the double-sided tape 2 and is hygienic. Is.
  In addition, the position of the medicine inlet 51 (the position of the double-sided tape 2) may be on the left side or the right side in addition to the center of the package 50. Further, the extension length of the sheet paper 52 on the side where the double-sided tape 2 is not attached can be set as desired.
Example 13
[0032]
  Example 13Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the medicine package continuous body 100 is formed by folding a continuous sheet 101 along a folding line 102 along the longitudinal direction. The front side of the sheet 101 is a first sheet 103 and the back side is a second sheet 104. Bonding lines 100A are formed at predetermined intervals in the short direction of the sheet 101, and the bag-shaped package bodies 107 are connected to each other through the bonding lines 100A. In this case, separate first sheets 103 and second sheets 104 may be used instead of the continuous sheet 101.
[0033]
  An open end 103 a is formed at the upper end of the first sheet 103, and an open end 104 a is formed at the upper end of the second sheet 104. The open end 104 a is bent inward to form an end fold 105, and serves as a valve-shaped stopper for the medicine in the package 107. The opening end portion 103a of the first sheet 103 is in a position where it is retracted below the opening end portion 104a of the second sheet 104, and a drug inlet 106 is formed between the opening end portions 103a and 104a as described later. .
[0034]
  A series of continuous release papers 108 (hereinafter simply referred to as release papers) forming a belt-like shape along the open end portions 103a and 104a are arranged, and are formed on the release paper 108 so as to protrude in a substantially inverted trapezoidal shape at a predetermined interval. The ear 108 </ b> A is inserted into the drug inlet 106. In this case, the width dimension of the release paper 108 is set small, and the outer end portion of the release paper 108 is slightly retracted inward from the end folding portion 105. In this state, an elongated strip-shaped adhesive 109 is interposed as a sealing band between the opening end portions 103a and 104a, and the opening end portions 103a and 104a are bonded together except for the ear portion 108A.
[0035]
  Thereby, the medicine injection port 106 is positioned between the surface portion of the both-side portions of the ear portion 108A where the adhesive 109 is not bonded and the opening end portion 104a. As a bonding means other than the drug inlet 106, heat sealing means such as heat fusion, ultrasonic fusion, and ultraviolet irradiation can be used in addition to the adhesive. Thereafter, a removable line 200 such as a perforation or a cut line is formed along the bonding line 100 </ b> A, and a removal line 200 a that crosses the release paper 108 is provided.
[0036]
  The medicine package continuous body 100 thus configured is wound in a cylindrical shape or alternately folded and packed in a bellows shape and provided to a medical institution such as a pharmacy. In order to put the medicine into the package 107 at a pharmacy or the like, the package is unpacked, the medicine package continuous body 100 is pulled out, placed on a dispensing counter or the like, and the release paper 108 is placed on the front side as shown in FIG. Bend it.
[0037]
  As a result, the medicine inlet 106 opens widely, and the release paper 108 itself serves as a guide for medicine introduction, so that the medicine D can be easily and quickly introduced. Moreover, since the release paper 108 is a continuous strip of paper, the folding action spreads to the drug inlet 106 of the adjacent package 107 just by folding the release paper 108 to the front side in one place. There is an advantage of prompting the opening of the adjacent drug inlet 106. After the injection of the drug D, the ear part 108A is peeled off from the adhesive 109, the portion corresponding to the ear part 108A in the opening end 103a is pressed to the end folding part 105 side, the drug input port 106 is sealed, and the drug D is separated. It is enclosed in a package 107.
[0038]
  Further, as a result of the bending of the end fold 105, the end of the end fold 105 is directed to the inside of the package 107 as a valve-shaped stopper, as shown in the enlarged longitudinal section of FIG. It has a structure that protrudes in the form of a tongue piece slightly inward of the packaging body 107. For this reason, even if the packaging body 107 is shaken or inverted, the tip of the end folding portion 105 does not approach the medicine in the packaging body 107 and prevents the medicine from approaching. As a result, the chemical | medical agent enclosed in the package 107 does not touch the adhesive agent 109 located in the bonding surface, and can maintain a favorable sanitary environment. In addition, a simple configuration that only bends the end folding portion 105 without adding another member is sufficient, and a sanitary environment for the drug after encapsulation can be realized with an advantage in cost.
Example 14
[0039]
  Example 14Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the release paper 108 is set to be wide, and the outer end portion of the release paper 108 is flush or substantially flush with the end folding portion 105. In this case, the removal line 200a crossing the release paper 108 is not formed, the removal line 201 is formed along the convex arc at the upper side of the ear 108A, and the release paper 108 is separated from the ear 108A. Can do.
Example 15
[0040]
  Example 15Then, as shown in FIG.Example 14In this case, the outer end portion of the release paper 108 protrudes outward from the end folding portion 105. In this case, instead of the arc-shaped removal line 201 shown in FIG. 17, a removal line 202 is formed across the release paper 108 in the shape of a letter from both ends of the upper side portion of the ear portion 108A. For this reason, when the release paper 108 is cut along the removal line 202, the ear 108 </ b> A has a wide blank portion on the upper side. Therefore, when the ear 108 </ b> A is pulled away from the adhesive 109 after the drug is added, 108A is easy to pick and peel.
[0041]
  FIG. 19 collectively shows representative examples of forming a removal line on the release paper 108. The release paper 108 shown in (a), (c) and (d) of FIG.Examples 13-15(B), the release paper 108 is not provided with the removal lines 200a, 201, 202, but the intermediate portion between the adjacent ear portions 108A, 108A of the release paper 108 is narrowed to form the constricted portion 203. Forming. For this reason, the release paper 108 can be cut off at a required location by pulling and tearing the predetermined constricted portion 203 at the time of sealing the medicine into the package 107.
Example 16
[0042]
  20 to 24 show the present invention.Example 16Indicates.Example 16Then, at the time of manufacture, the double-row type medicine package continuous body is formed by connecting the package bodies 107 to the sheet 101 in the left and right two rows in the front and rear. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, the first sheet 103 and the second sheet 104 are separated from each other.Example 13It is set wider than the case of. The first sheet 103 and the second sheet 104 are overlaid on the left and right open end portions 103a and 104a,Example 13In the same manner as described above, the release papers 108 are arranged, the ears 108A are inserted into the drug inlet 106, and the adhesive 109 is interposed.
[0043]
  In addition, in the first and second sheets 103 and 104, in addition to the bonding line 100A that crosses the transversal direction at a predetermined interval, the bonding line 100B is formed in a single character along the longitudinal direction at the center. Thus, the part surrounded by the bonding lines 100A and 100B formed in the vertical and horizontal directions is used as the packaging body 107 that is continuous in the front and rear in two rows. On the outer edge of the release paper 108, a series of holes 204 are continuously drilled along the longitudinal direction at predetermined equal pitch intervals as marginal punch holes for processing to be described later. The hole 204 is a circle (for example, instead of a rectangle or a rectangle),φ4 mm), an ellipse, a semicircle, and the like. These outer edge portions having the hole portions 204 are cut out from the release paper 108 by a marginal punch hole removing cutter or the like (not shown) in the manufacturing process.

  In order to process the medicine packaging continuous body 100 by the processing device 205, the adhesive 109 is applied, and the rollers 206, 207 are placed with the second sheet 104 of the medicine packaging continuous body 100 at the bottom as shown in FIG. The hole 204 of the release paper 108 is held between the gears 208 and 209 to be engaged. When pressing with the rollers 206 and 207 while bending the end fold 105 inward, placing the second sheet 104 at the bottom prevents the end fold 105 from dropping downward from its fold by its own weight and does not open outward. It is for doing so.
[0047]
  In this state, when the drug packaging continuous body 100 that has passed through the rollers 206 and 207 and the gears 208 and 209 is pulled by a traction unit (not shown), the gears 208 and 209 rotate in synchronization with the traction unit. .
  In the pressing process, the rollers 206 and 207 are formed by pressing and extending the unnecessary wrinkles of the medicine packaging continuous body 100 while pressing the adhesive 109 to form a flat finished surface. In the drawing process in which the hole 204 is engaged with the gears 208 and 209 and the release paper 108 is pulled out, the ear portion 108A is always positioned at the drug inlet 106, so that the ear portion 108A is prevented from being displaced and the height of the product is increased. Quality can be maintained.
[0048]
  As the gears 208 and 209 rotate, the roller 300a and the pressing plates 300m and 300n rotate to press the bonding wire 100B and the bonding wire 100A continuously up and down. When the bonding wire 100B is sandwiched between the rollers 300a, the bonding wire 100B is fused and sealed by a heating resistor (heat seal). When the bonding wire 100A is sandwiched between the pressing plates 300m and 300n, the bonding wire 100A is fused and sealed by a heating resistor (heat seal).
[0049]
  In this case, since the rotations of the gears 208 and 209 are synchronized with the traction portion, the peripheral speeds of the pressing plates 300m and 300n match the drawing speed of the traction portion. For this reason, every time the bonding wire 100A is pressed, the pressing plates 300m and 300n are continuously pressed against the bonding wire 100A while continuously performing the traction operation without intermittently stopping the medicine packaging continuous body 100. Can contribute to the improvement of productivity. At this time, a removal line 200 is formed along the bonding line 100 </ b> A in order to separate the package bodies 107.
[0050]
  In the next process following the drawing process, a unique pattern is formed on the lower end of each package 107 by pressing the bonding wire 100B with a pair of blades (not shown) on which a predetermined cutting edge pattern is formed. The cut line 210 is continuously formed in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 23). In this case, the cut line 210 has a zigzag pattern with different undulations formed as a universal design in each wrapping body 107, and when cut along the cut line 210 as shown in FIG. The shape becomes distinguishable by touch and plays a role like Braille. In particular, when a visually handicapped person who is blind is taking a dose, it can be confirmed that there is no mistake in the taking method.
[0051]
  The cut line 210 may be formed not only after processing by the processing device 205 but also at the time of receiving processing by the processing device 205. In the drawing process, the outer periphery of the rollers 300a of the support shafts 300 and 301 in FIG. You may carry out by the cutting blade pattern (not shown) provided in the part. Further, the adhesive 109 is not limited to being applied in advance prior to the pressing step, and may be configured to be applied in the course of undergoing the pressing step. Moreover, when applying heat fusion (heat sealing) to the bonding wire 100B and the bonding wire 100A, the heating resistor may always be in an energized state, or the roller 300a and the pressing plates 300m and 300n are bonded wires. The heating resistor may be energized only when sandwiching 100B and the bonding wire 100A.
[Example 17]
[0052]
  FIG. 25 is formed by distinguishing the pattern of the score line 210 into a sine curve shape, a triangular wave shape, and a pulse shape.Example 17Indicates.
Example 18
[0053]
  In FIG. 26, the cut pattern of the cut line 210 is added to the undulating pattern, and a series of pores 210a are interspersed to diversify the distinguishability by touch.Example 18Indicates. The cut pattern can be freely formed along different geometric patterns as desired.
  For such a score line 210, not only the double-row drug wrapping continuum of FIG. 20, but also the single-row pill packing continuum A, 100 shown in FIGS. 107 can also be formed in a blank band region provided along the lower edge of the medicine package continuum A, 100.
Example 19
[0054]
  FIG. 27 shows the present invention.Example 19IndicateExample 13OrExample 15Instead of the release paper having the ears 108A used in the above, the strip-like release papers 108 having a substantially equal width are arranged so as to protrude from the drug inlet 106 to the open ends 103a and 104a of the sheets 103 and 104, respectively. The material of each of the sheets 103 and 104 is, for example, a polypropylene (PP) system, and the release paper 108 is formed to be a synthetic resin material that is weakly fusible with respect to each of the sheets 103 and 104.
[0055]
  Thereby, it is easy to peel off the release paper 108 from the bonding line 100A as the bonding portion applied to the boundary portion between the package bodies 107. As a specific synthetic resin material having weak fusibility with respect to the sheets 103 and 104, commercially available materials can be appropriately selected depending on the implementation situation.
[0056]
  In this case, the adhesion of the adhesive 109 interposed as a bonding layer between the release paper 108 and the opening end 103a is stronger than the release paper 108 with respect to the opening end 103a. Good peelability is ensured. Also,Example 19In this case, the release paper 108 having a relatively simple shape and a substantially uniform width following the belt shape is sufficient. Therefore, the production of the release paper 108 is easy and the assembling operation is facilitated, and the cost of the continuous medicine package 100 is advantageous. Rapid mass production becomes possible.
Example 20
[0057]
  FIG. 28 illustrates the present invention.Example 20Indicates.Example 20ButExample 19The difference is that a small protrusion 301 that can be identified by touch is integrally provided on the package 107. The small protrusion 301 has a different number, shape, or arrangement for each package 107,Example 16Similarly to the above, the time of taking the drug can be confirmed by touch. Note that the shape of the small protrusion 301 is not limited to a hemispherical shape, but may be an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, a square shape, a hexagonal shape, or the like, as long as it can be identified by touch.
Example 21
[0058]
  FIG. 29 shows the present invention.Example 21Indicates.Example 21ButExample 19The difference is that a strip-shaped elongated sheet 302 is overlapped and adhered to the front side and the back side of the package 107 to form pocket portions 303 and 304 for storing other small items such as medicine packaging and memo writing. It is that. The elongated sheet 302 is bent along the folding line 102 of the continuous medicine package 100 so as to cover the sheet 101.
[0059]
  The elongated sheet 302 and the sheet 101 are joined together by heat fusion along the folding line 102 as indicated by the reference sign Qp, and are hermetically sealed so as not to allow the boundary portions of the pocket portions 303 and 304 to communicate with each other. Note that the pocket portions 303 and 304 may be provided on only one side, not both the front side and the back side.
[Example 22]
[0060]
  FIG. 30 shows the present invention.Example 22Indicates.Example 22ButExample 21The difference is that the elongated sheet 302 is cut along the folding line 102 into a front surface portion 302a and a back surface portion 302b. For this reason, small items are accommodated by being inserted between the front surface portion 302 a and the first sheet 103 or between the back surface portion 302 b and the second sheet 104.
[0061]
  In this case, two sheets including the front surface portion 302a and the back surface portion 302b may be prepared from the beginning without separating the elongated sheet 302. Note that only one of the elongated sheet 302 may be provided instead of both the front surface portion 302a and the back surface portion 302b.
Example 23
[0062]
  FIG. 31 shows the present invention.Example 23Indicates.Example 23ButExample 22The difference is that the adhesive 109 is provided between the release paper 108 and the end folding portion 105 of the opening end portion 104a. In the opening end portion 103a of the first sheet 103, an arbitrary number of holes 305 having an arbitrary shape are scattered by appropriate punching means. As a result, when the release paper 108 is peeled off, the adhesive 109 is exposed from the hole portion 305 to form an adhesive portion 306.
[0063]
  For this reason, a memo or other medicine packaging is attached to the sticking unit 306, or the package 107 is attached to, for example, an indoor wall, a bookcase, a cupboard or a usual treatment instrument via the sticking unit 306. It can be attached and temporarily stored. The hole 305 in this case only needs to play the role of exposing the adhesive 109, so accuracy is not required for the formation position and diameter of the hole 305, and there is no need for assembling and inspection management. There is an advantage that does not affect the progress of productivity.
Example 24
[0064]
  FIG. 32 shows the present invention.Example 24Indicates.Example 24ButExample 22The difference is that a corrugated portion 307 having an uneven shape is formed in a portion overlapping the release paper 108 in the bonding line 100A as a boundary portion of the adjacent package 107. For this reason, the bonding area of the bonding line 100A with respect to the peeling paper 108 decreases, and the peeling object area of the peeling paper 108 decreases with respect to the bonding line 100A. In addition, when the release paper 108 is pulled out from the corrugated portion 307 and peeled off, a concentrated tensile force acts on the corrugated portion 307 in the peeling direction by the uneven outer ring portion of the corrugated portion 307. As a result, the peeling operation of the release paper 108 proceeds and contributes to the improvement of the peelability.
Example 25]
[0065]
  FIG.3 isOf the present inventionExample 25Show.Example 25ButExample 24The difference is that a bulging portion 308 swelled in, for example, a parabola, a barrel shape, a convex shape, a bow shape, an arc shape or an arc shape is provided in place of the wavy portion 307. For this reason, when the release paper 108 is pulled out from the bulging portion 308 and peeled off, the curvilinear outer ring portion of the bulging portion 308 causes a concentration force to act on the bulging portion 308 in the peeling direction, which triggers the progress of peeling.
[Example 26]
[0066]
  FIG. 34 shows a twenty-sixth embodiment of the present invention. Example 26ButExample 24The difference is that, instead of the corrugated portion 307, the hollow portion 309 is formed by punching. For this reason, the peeling target area of the release paper 108 with respect to the bonding line 100A is only the ring-shaped peripheral edge 309a in which the empty hole 309 is sealed, which contributes to the improvement of peelability.
Example 27
[0067]
  FIG. 35 illustrates the present invention.Example 27Indicates.Example 27ButExample 19The difference is that, for example, a wide bonding portion is formed as a rectangular bonding line 100B at the lower end of the boundary portion of the adjacent package 107.
[0068]
  The rectangular bonding line 100 </ b> B is formed as a universal design U in which a removable line such as a notch, a cut line, or a cut line that can be identified by touch is continuous with the removal line 200. For this reason, Universal Design UExample 16It functions as an index to prevent mistakes in the way the medicine is taken.
[0069]
  Moreover,Example 27Then, since the bonding line 100B is limited to the lower end part of a boundary part, the bonding line 100A of an upper end part remains narrow, and it does not increase the peeling object area with respect to the release paper 108, but has good peelability. Can hold.
Example 28]
[0070]
  FIG.6 isOf the present inventionExample 28Show.Example 28ButExample 27The difference is that instead of the rectangular bonding line 100B, a rectangular bonding line 100C having shoulders on the left and right is formed.
[Example 29]
[0071]
  FIG. 37 shows Embodiment 29 of the present invention. Example 29ButExample 27The difference is that instead of the rectangular bonding wire 100A, a diverging bonding wire 100D is formed. FIG. 38 to FIG.Example 29An example in which a U-shaped, zigzag, and wavy cut line and a resectable line are sequentially formed as a universal design U on the bonding line 100D.
Example 30
[0072]
  41 and 42 show the present invention.Example 30Indicates.Example 30ButExample 19The difference is that when the release paper 108 is assembled between the opening ends 103a and 104a by insertion, a notch recess 310 is intermittently formed at a predetermined interval at the lower end of the release paper 108. The notch recess 310 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape at a position corresponding to the bonding line 100 </ b> A that is a boundary portion between the adjacent package bodies 107. When the notch recess 310 is formed, for example, a heat resistance rod 311 shown in FIG. 42 is used to press against the edge of the release paper 108 at every predetermined width interval dimension (Wd) and heat melt.
[0073]
  In this case, since the cutout recess 310 of the release paper 108 corresponds to the bonding line 100A of the package 107, the cutout recess 310 functions as a positioning guide for the bonding line 100A. In addition, the notch recess 310 reduces the area to be peeled off from the adhesive 109 and the bonding wire 100A, making it easier to peel off the release paper 108 and contributing to an improvement in peelability.
[0074]
  By the way, if the notch recess 310 is not provided, the lower end of the release paper 108 that protrudes downward from the adhesive 109 in the sheet 101 is non-sticking that only overlaps the sheet 101 as indicated by hatching in FIG. This is the combined band St. For this reason, after the release paper 108 is peeled off, the adjacent wrappers 107 are opened by the non-bonding zone St, but the non-bonding zone St disappears due to the formation of the notch recess 310 and the wrappers 107 are opened. I will not let you.
[0075]
  Moreover, unlike the case of using the release paper 108 provided with the notch recess 310 in advance during assembly, the notch recess 310 is formed simultaneously with the assembly of the release paper 108, so that the material is simultaneously formed as a component during assembly. Therefore, it contributes to the improvement of productivity by reducing the processing steps. By the way, in FIG.Example 19Then, in consideration of the viewpoint that the non-bonding zone St is generated, the lower end of the adhesive 109 is aligned with the lower end of the release paper 108 as much as possible to minimize the occurrence of the non-bonding zone St.
[0076]
  In this case, the cutout recess 310 tends to be smaller in diameter as the bonding wire 100A is made narrower. For this reason, by setting the bonding wire 100A as narrow as possible and setting the cutout recess 310 as small as possible, the cutout recess 310 can be easily and quickly formed with a small and simple cutout tool. Benefits are gained.
Example 31]
[0077]
  FIG.3 isOf the present inventionExample 31Show.Example 31ButExample 30The difference is that, instead of the substantially semicircular cutout recess 310, a cutout recess 310a in the form of a mountain cut is provided.
[Example 32]
[0078]
  FIG. 44 shows Embodiment 32 of the present invention. Example 32ButExample 30Unlike the substantially semicircular cutout recess 310, a rectangular cutout recess 310b that rises in a pulse shape is provided.
Example 33
[0079]
  FIG. 45 shows the present invention.Example 33Indicates.Example 33ButExample 23The difference is that, instead of the hole 305, the adhesive 109 as a bonding layer is set wide and extends upward from the opening end 103a of the first sheet 103.
[0080]
  in this case,Example 13Similarly, one of the opening end portions 103a and 104a is set to be taller than the other opening end portion 103a, and the length between the tall opening end portion 104a and the release paper 108 is high. A wide bonding layer that protrudes from the low opening end 103a is applied as the adhesive 109, and when the release paper 108 is peeled off, a part of the adhesive 109 is exposed from the low opening end 103a and the bonding portion 311 is removed. Form. The vertical width dimension of the sticking part 311 can be set, for example, from the normal level 1-m to the short width level 1-n, the middle width level 1-o, and the high width level 1-p. For this reason, since the part exposed from the opening end part 103a having a low height in the adhesive 109 forms the sticking part 311.Example 23The same effect can be obtained.
[0081]
  The sticking portion 311 is not limited to the short width level region ln, the middle width level region l-o, and the high width level region l-p, but the level region l-m, the level region no, and the level region. Intermittent level regions combined in a jump, such as ln and level region op, may be used as the sticking portion 311. Further, by bending the sticking portion 311 downward along, for example, the level region line n, the opening end portions 103a and 104a are overlapped and sealed in a composite manner so as to ensure careful airtightness in the package 107. It may be.
[0082]
[Modification]
(A) AboveExample 13OrExample 33The end folding portion 105 may be formed in the opening end portion 103a instead of the opening end portion 104a, or may be provided in both the opening end portions 103a and 104a.
(B) The extent of the release paper 21 protruding from the drug inlet 11 is not limited to a part such as 1/3 or 2/5 of the whole, but may be more than half such as 2/3 or 4/5 of the whole, The amount of the release paper 21 that protrudes from the drug inlet 11 may be large or small.
[0083]
(C) For the position of the outer edge of the release paper 108 relative to the opening edge 104a of the second sheet 104,Examples 13-1515, 17 and 18, and the removal line can be formed in the same manner as in FIG. 19.
(D) The adhesive 109 is an example, and a double-sided tape or the like may be used. In short, any adhesive may be used as long as it can seal the drug inlet 106 after the ear portion 108A is peeled off. As for the shape of the ear 108A, not only a substantially inverted trapezoid but also an inverted triangle, square, rectangle, ellipse, circle, semicircle, star, crescent, heart, rhombus, parallelogram, saddle, pentagon or hexagon It may be a polygon such as a square.
[0084]
(E)Example 19OrExample 33The configuration of (FIGS. 27 to 45) may be applied to the two-row type medicine package continuous body of FIG. Alternatively, the bonding line 100A between the adjacent package bodies 107 may be omitted, and when separating the package bodies 107, the boundary portion may be separated by fusing using a fusing blade. In this case, it is also possible to provide microprojections protruding left and right at the edge portion of the cutting blade, and to make the notch portions of the upper and lower stages corresponding to the microprojections appear as a universal design at the melted end portion of the packaging body 107 at the time of melting.
[Industrial applicability]
[0085]
  When using the package of the present invention or the continuous package of medicines in a pharmacy or the like, after putting the drug into the package from the drug inlet, peel the release paper to close the drug inlet and enclose the drug in the package . As a result, even if an expensive medicine packaging device is not used in a pharmacy or the like, the medicine can be efficiently sealed manually, and it can be widely applied not only to pharmacies but also to medical service industries such as home medical care. it can.
