In the description in the text, the symbols described before are used as necessary.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a medication storage device 10 for persons with abnormal vision. FIG. 1A is a view showing a state in which the auxiliary sheet 14 is overlaid on the medicine storage sheet 12, and FIG. 1B is a view showing a state in which the medicine storage sheet 12 is exposed by pinching the auxiliary sheet 14. It is. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the storage portion 26 of the medication storage device 10 for persons with abnormal vision. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating various modified examples of the storage unit 26. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a medication medicine container 11 which is a modification of the medicine medication container for persons with abnormal vision.

  The medication storage device 10 for the visually impaired person includes a plurality of medicine storage sheets 12 in which the storage portions 26 are arranged, and a plurality of auxiliary sheets 14 provided so as to be stacked on the medicine storage sheet 12. Yes. That is, a plurality of medicine storage sheets 12 and auxiliary sheets 14 are provided alternately.

  The medicine storage sheet 12 is a sheet in which two binding holes 15 are formed on the left end side. The medicine storage sheet 12 can be configured using cardboard having an appropriate thickness. The medicine storage sheet 12 includes a first circular region 22 having a predetermined diameter corresponding to the effective visual field and a second circular region 24 concentric with the first circular region 22 and corresponding to the peripheral visual field at the center. .

  Here, the center of the first circular region 22 and the second circular region 24 is a portion that becomes the central vision of the person with abnormal visual field.

  When viewing the central vision of the medicine storage sheet 12 seen by a general adult without visual field abnormality, the first circular area 22 is an effective visual field that is an area where the eyesight is high and a fine object can be seen, The second circular region 24 corresponds to a peripheral visual field having a low visual acuity other than the effective visual field.

  Various causes such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, stroke, and brain tumor can be considered as causes of visual field abnormalities. Here, it is assumed that the right half of the medicine storage sheet 12 is not visible.

  A storage section 26 is provided in the left half for a person with abnormal vision who is in a state where the right half of the medicine storage sheet 12 is not visible to take medicine. The storage portion 26 has a left and right end and a lower end fixed and a pocket portion 28 having a storage area inside from the upper side, and is stored from the upper side of the pocket portion 28 and smaller than the storage area inside the pocket portion 28. And a seat part 30.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet portion 30 is provided with a sandwiching portion 32 that slidably sandwiches the PTP-packed tablet 6 as shown in FIG. 2. PTP packaging consists of a plastic part formed with a convex part for storing the tablet 6 and an aluminum part covering the plastic part in which the tablet 6 is accommodated, and the aluminum is broken by pressing the convex plastic part strongly. The stored tablet 6 is taken out.

  The sandwiching part 32 sandwiches the PTP-packed tablet 6 that is bent so as to suppress the flat part while projecting the convex part, but there is a slight gap between the PTP-packed tablet 6 and the sandwiching part 32. Since this clearance is formed, it can slide in the longitudinal direction.

  The other of the sandwiching portions 32 is sealed so as to be slidable from one direction, and in the example of FIGS. The pinching portion 32 is colored so that a person with an abnormal visual field is paying attention, and here, the pinching portion 32 is made to stand out by being edged with a black pen.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pocket portion 28 is formed with a recessed portion at the center of the upper side so that it can be easily picked up with a finger when the sheet portion 30 accommodated in the pocket portion 28 is taken out. Further, a powder medicine 8 different from the tablet 6 is stored in the pocket portion 28.

  Here, it is conceivable that the pocket portion 28 and the sheet portion 30 are made of various materials, but what is common in the case of using any material is that it has transparency. Even if it is a case where the sheet | seat part 30 is accommodated in the pocket part 28 by having transparency, presence of the tablet 6 or the powder medicine 8 can be confirmed.

  The auxiliary sheet 14 is a sheet having the same size as the medicine storage sheet 12 and having two binding holes 15 formed on the left end side. By passing the two ring portions 17 in a state where the binding holes 15 formed in the auxiliary sheet 14 and the medicine storage sheet 12 are overlapped, the auxiliary sheet 14 and the medicine storage sheet 12 can be kept from falling apart. Here, the description has been given assuming that binding is performed by the ring portion 17, but of course, binding may be performed by other means, for example, binding may be performed using a string member.

  A dotted circle corresponding to the second circle region 24 of the medicine storage sheet 12 is written on the auxiliary sheet 14, a line indicating the diameter of this circle is drawn, and a central view mark 18 having a predetermined size is formed at the center. Is drawn. On the line indicating the diameter, information indicating the time of taking the medicine (for example, an indication of taking before sleeping on Thursday) is described.

  The auxiliary sheet 14 can be made of various materials, but needs to be made of a transparent material. It is preferable that the medicine storage sheet 12 is transparent when the auxiliary sheet 14 is stacked on the medicine storage sheet 12.

  Next, the operation of the medication storage device 10 for the visually impaired person with the above configuration will be described. Here, it is assumed that the person with abnormal visual field cannot see the right half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field, but other states are of course included.

  It is preferable that the medication storage device 10 is used when the visual field person takes a prescribed amount of medicine prescribed by a doctor during a prescribed time zone. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, when taking a medicine that needs to be taken before going to sleep on Thursday, the person with abnormal visual field gazes at the central vision mark 18 of the foreground auxiliary sheet 14. .

  In this state, the auxiliary sheet 14 is moved in the direction of arrow A to move it to the end. As a result, the central view coincides with the centers of the first circular region 22 and the second circular region 24. At this time, the effective visual field coincides with the first circular area 22, and the peripheral visual field coincides with the second circular area 24.

  The person with abnormal visual field is in a state where the right half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field cannot be seen. However, since the medicine storage device 10 is provided with the storage part 26 in the left half, the tablet 6 has the presence of the powder medicine 8. Therefore, the powder medicine 8 can be taken out by putting a hand in the pocket portion 28.

  Further, the sheet portion 30 is taken out by grasping the upper center portion of the sheet portion 30 with a finger. At this time, when the person with abnormal visual field sees the center of the sheet part 30 as the central view, since the sandwiching part 32 is on the upper left, the presence of the tablet 6 can be confirmed even for the person with abnormal visual field who cannot see the right half. At the same time, the tablet 6 can be taken out by sliding it to the left while pressing it with a finger. Thus, according to the medication storage device 10, since the storage portion 26 is provided in a region that can be visually recognized by a person with abnormal vision, the medication can be taken in a state in which the presence of the medication is confirmed, so It is possible to prevent leftovers.

  Furthermore, since the storage unit 26 is sandwiched by the sandwiching unit 32 that is colored so that a person with abnormal vision can focus on the tablet 6, the storage unit 26 is smaller than the powder medicine 8, and in particular, the tablet 6 that tends to be forgotten. The existence can be surely noticed.

  In the above description, it has been described that the medicine storage device 10 is for a visually impaired person who cannot see the right half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating various modified examples of the storage unit 26, and only the clamping unit 32 is simply displayed here. Here, the center view mark 18 is described as a sheet shape of the medicine storage sheet 12, but it is of course possible to omit it.

  In FIG. 3 (a), a storage unit 26 including a sandwiching unit 32 is provided in the upper half of the effective visual field for a visual anomaly who cannot see the lower half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field. You may install the direction of the clamping part 32 with any pattern of the case where it inserts from the right side, and the case where it inserts from the left side.

  3 (b) is symmetrical to FIG. 3 (a), and the storage unit 26 including the clamping unit 32 is located in the lower half of the effective visual field for a visual anomaly person who cannot see the upper half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field. Is provided. You may install the direction of the clamping part 32 with any pattern of the case where it inserts from the right side, and the case where it inserts from the left side.

  In FIG. 3C, a storage unit 26 including a clamping unit 32 is provided in the upper right region for a visual field abnormal person who cannot see the entire effective visual field and the left half of the peripheral visual field. Since the person with abnormal visual field is in a state where the right side can be seen, the direction of the sandwiching portion 32 is set on the assumption that it is inserted from the right side.

  In FIG. 3D, a storage unit 26 including a clamping unit 32 is provided in the upper left area for a visual field abnormal person who cannot see the entire effective visual field and the right half of the peripheral visual field. Since this person with abnormal visual field is in a state where the left side can be seen, the direction of the sandwiching portion 32 is assumed to be inserted from the left side.

  FIG. 3 (e) shows a housing including a clamping portion 32 for a visual field abnormal person who cannot see the right half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field, or a visual field abnormal person who can see only the upper left quarter of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field. The portion 26 is provided in the upper left area. This arrangement is the same as that shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3 (f) shows a storage including a clamping part 32 for a visual anomaly person who cannot see the left half of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field, or an visual anomaly person who can see only the upper right quarter of the effective visual field and the peripheral visual field A portion 26 is provided in the upper right region. This arrangement is the same as that shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 3G and FIG. 3H, the storage portion 26 including the clamping portion 32 is provided in the central region for the visual field abnormal person who cannot see the left end portion and the right end portion of the peripheral visual field. FIG. 3G is arranged on the left side of the central view, and FIG. 3H is arranged on the right side of the central view.

  In this manner, by changing the arrangement position of the storage unit 26 according to various visual field abnormality patterns, it is possible to prevent forgetting to drink even when various visual field abnormal persons take medicine.
