As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the take-out tool 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of storage domes 12 storing contents C such as tablets and capsules on the surface 11 a of the base sheet 11. It is for taking out the contents C from the PTP package 13, and is connected to the support part 21 that supports the back surface 11b side of the base sheet 11 and the support part 21 via the hinge part 22 so as to be rotatable. The lever member 23 and the accommodating part 24 which accommodates the content C taken out from the PTP package 13 are provided.

  The PTP package 13 is formed by sticking a sealing material (sheet or film) such as an aluminum foil 14 to the back surface 11b of the base sheet 11 provided with the storage dome 12 on the front surface 11a side. Is pressed toward the back surface 11b side (the aluminum foil 14 side), whereby the aluminum foil 14 is broken by the contents C in the storage dome 12 and the contents C are pushed out. Hereinafter, the base sheet 11 side along the thickness direction of the PTP package 13 is referred to as an upper side, and the aluminum foil 14 side is referred to as a lower side.

  The support portion 21 is a rectangular plate material whose outer shape in plan view is larger than that of the storage dome 12, and when the PTP package 13 is supported, the through-hole through which the contents C can pass at a position corresponding to the storage dome 12. 25 (see FIG. 2). A side wall portion 26 erected upward is formed on the peripheral edge portion on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the support portion 21. The side wall portion 26 is formed over the entire region in the short direction of the support portion 21 and is formed so that the height is higher than the total thickness of the base sheet 11 and the aluminum foil 14 of the PTP package 13. Has been. In the following description, in plan view, the longitudinal direction of the support portion 21 is simply referred to as the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1), and the short direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is simply referred to as the short direction (depth direction in FIG. 1). .

  The lever member 23 is a step-like plate material integrally connected to the upper end of the side wall portion 26 via the hinge portion 22, and is along the short direction among the directions along the opening surface of the passage hole 25. The hinge portion 22 extends so as to be rotatable with respect to the support portion 21 around the hinge axis. The lever member 23 is disposed above the support portion 21 so as to face the support portion 21, and is disposed so as to cover the storage dome 12 from above when the PTP package 13 is supported by the support portion 21. Specifically, the lever member 23 extends from the hinge portion 22 toward the other end side in the longitudinal direction, and includes a pressing portion 31 (see FIG. 2) formed following the surface shape of the storage dome 12, and a pressing portion. An inclined portion 32 extending upward from 31 toward the other end side in the longitudinal direction and an operation portion 33 extending from the inclined portion 32 along the longitudinal direction are provided.

On the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 31, a protruding portion 34 (see FIG. 2) protruding downward is formed. The lower end of the protruding portion 34 is disposed opposite to the storage dome 12 at the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the storage dome 12 when the PTP package 13 is supported by the support portion 21.
The operation unit 33 is for performing a push-down operation with an operator's finger or the like, and is positioned above the pressing unit 31 by being connected to the pressing unit 31 via the inclined unit 32.

In addition, a pair of guide walls 35 are arranged on both sides in the short direction (hinge axis direction) with the lever member 23 interposed therebetween. These guide walls 35 are rectangular plate members in a side view, and are connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the support portion 21 described above on one end side in the longitudinal direction and the side wall portion 26 via a connecting portion 36. . Therefore, in the longitudinal direction, there is a gap in the vertical direction between the guide wall 35 and the support portion 21 at a portion other than the connecting portion 36 of the guide wall 35, and this gap is inserted into the PTP package 13. It functions as the mouth 37. In addition, an engaging convex portion 41 (see FIG. 2) that protrudes toward the opposing guide wall 35 is formed at the upper end portion of the guide wall 35, and the above-described lever member 23 (pressing portion 31) is undercut fitted. Are combined. As a result, the lever member 23 is supported at a position facing the support portion 21 in the vertical direction.
Further, the inner surface of the guide wall 35 is formed with an engaging projection 44 that engages with the lever member 23 and restricts the pressing operation, thereby preventing the lever member 23 from being further pressed down when the pressing is finished. Only the intended storage dome 12 is pressed.

  Here, the accommodating portion 24 is a cup-shaped member formed integrally with the support portion 21 so as to cover the passage hole 25 of the support portion 21 described above from below, and is directed downward from the opening edge of the passage hole 25. And a bottom part 43 that closes the lower end opening of the cylinder part 42. The storage unit 24 is configured to be able to communicate with the storage dome 12 via the passage hole 25 when the content C is taken out, and is formed to have a size capable of storing the content C.

Next, a method for using the above-described extraction tool will be described.
First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the takeout tool 1 is set on the PTP package 13. Specifically, in the short direction, the guide wall 35 and the support portion 21 are arranged in a state where the extraction tool 1 is aligned so that the storage dome 12 and the lever member 23 of the extraction tool 1 are arranged at the same position. The PTP package 13 is inserted into the insertion port 37 formed between the other ends in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the PTP package 13 enters the insertion port 37 toward one end side in the longitudinal direction, and the storage dome 12 enters between the opposing guide walls 35. At this time, the storage dome 12 is disposed below the pressing portion 31 of the lever member 23 by being inserted to a position where the edge on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the PTP package 13 abuts the connecting portion 36.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the lever member 23 is pushed down with the takeout tool 1 set on the PTP package 13 (see arrow L <b> 1 in FIG. 3). Specifically, by depressing the operation portion 33 of the lever member 23, the lever member 23 rotates downward around the hinge portion 22. As a result, the protrusion 34 of the pressing portion 31 hits the upper surface of the storage dome 12, and the storage dome 12 is pressed downward via the protrusion 34. Then, the storage dome 12 is deformed so as to be recessed downward, so that the contents C are pushed downward through the storage dome 12, and the aluminum dome 14 of the PTP package 13 has the storage dome 12. Opposing portions (portions that close the storage dome 12 from below) are broken. Accordingly, the inside of the storage dome 12 communicates with the inside of the housing portion 24 through the passage hole 25, and the content C drops downward, so that it passes through the passage hole 25 and is housed in the housing portion 24.

  Thereafter, when the pressing of the operation portion 33 is released, the lever member 23 is restored to the position where the lever member 23 is undercut fitted into the engagement convex portion 41 of the guide wall 35. Then, the PTP package 13 is pulled out toward the other end side in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the PTP package 13 is removed from the extraction tool 1 in a state where the contents C are accommodated in the accommodating portion 24. Thereafter, the take-out tool 1 is moved together with the contents C accommodated in the accommodating part 24, and the contents C are dropped from the accommodating part 24 and supplied at a desired place.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the lever member 23 is rotated with respect to the support portion 21 while the back surface 11b side of the PTP package 13 is supported, and the storage dome 12 is pressed by the lever member 23 to press the storage dome 12. By pushing out the content C inside, the content C passes through the passage hole 25 and is accommodated in the accommodating portion 24. Thereafter, the PTP package 13 is removed from the takeout tool 1, the takeout tool 1 is moved together with the contents C accommodated in the accommodating part 24, and the contents C are dropped from the accommodating part 24 and supplied at a desired place. . As described above, the contents C in the storage dome 12 can be taken out without being directly touched and supplied to a desired place.

Further, by disposing the guide walls 35 on both sides in the short direction with the lever member 23 interposed therebetween, it is possible to suppress the lever member 23 from shifting in the short direction when the lever member 23 is pushed down. Thus, the contents C can be reliably pushed downward through the storage dome 12. Thereby, the contents C in the storage dome 12 can be reliably supplied to the storage unit 24.
Further, by disposing the operation portion 33 of the lever member 23 above the pressing portion 31, the lever member 23 (operation portion 33) interferes with the adjacent storage dome 12 and the like when the lever member 23 rotates. Can be suppressed.

It is surrounded by a U-shaped slit 62. The locking protrusion 61 is configured to be elastically deformable in the vertical direction. In this case, the locking projection 61 is disposed in the guide groove 63 formed on the lower surface of the support portion 21 on the other end side in the longitudinal direction at the communication position described above. Further, the locking protrusion 61 is locked to the opening edge on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the passage hole 25 at the take-out position shown in FIG. Thereby, it can prevent that the accommodating part 24 remove | deviates from the rail part 51. FIG.
In addition, the flange portion 54 is extended in the short direction on one end side in the longitudinal direction, and abuts against the one end side wall surface in the longitudinal direction of the rail portion 51 at the communication position, so that the accommodating portion 24 slides. A locking piece 64 is provided to restrict the movement.

Furthermore, you may comprise the accommodating part 24 so that attachment or detachment with respect to the support part 21 is possible.
In the above-described embodiment, the case where one lever member 23 and one storage portion 24 are provided for each storage dome 12 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the contents in a plurality of storage dome 12 are provided. You may make it the structure which takes out the thing C collectively.

Furthermore, the opening edge of the accommodating part 24 may be used as a support part, and the lever member 23 may be connected directly from the support part via the hinge part 22.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lever member 23 is formed in a stepped plate material, but it may be simply a flat plate, and various other configurations can be adopted as long as the storage dome 12 can be pushed out. .
