In the present specification, the front and left and right directions refer to the directions viewed from the operator side (the drug storage case drawer side) when the device is installed on the storage shelf. The drug storage case 10 has a case shape that is long in the front-rear direction and has an upper opening including a bottom plate 3e, a right side plate 3c, a left side plate 3d, a front side plate 3a, and a rear side plate 3b. As a result, the medicine for patient A packed with paper or the like can be stored. The drug storage case 10 is formed with a pair of vertical slits (first and second vertical slits) 1a at the front and a single "first slit 1b" at the rear. Parts of left and right connection parts 9 are fitted in the vertical slits 1a, respectively, so that the medicine storage case 10 and other drug storage cases 10 can be connected in the horizontal direction.

In the drug storage case 10, right and left side plates 3c and 3d corresponding to the front surface 31b of the rear side plate 3b are provided with one vertical slits (first vertical slits) 1b and 1b penetrating in the thickness direction in which the left and right connecting parts 9 are fitted. formed. The vertical slits 1b, 1b are vertically long rectangular slits having a predetermined width and a predetermined height that pass through the left and right side plates 3c, 3d in the thickness direction. In the vertical slit 1b, the front surface of the rear side plate 3b and the front inner wall surface of the vertical slit 1b are flush with each other. A part of the left-right connecting part 9 fits into the vertical slits 1b, 1b. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the left-right connecting part 9 is made of resin and has a first grip G1 and a second grip G2 on the left and right sides of the connecting body 93. The first plate-like body 911 and the first projection 941 that constitute the 1 grip G1 are inserted, and the first grip G1 grips the front and rear surfaces of the rear side plate 3b. The slit height of the vertical slits 1b, 1b is slightly higher than the height of the left-right connecting part 9, and the slit width of the vertical slits 1b, 1b is the first plate-like body 91 or the second plate-like body of the left-right connecting part 9. greater than the thickness of body 92; Even if the slit widths of the vertical slits 1b, 1b are too larger than the thickness of the first plate-like body 91 or the second plate-like body 92 of the left-right connecting part 9, the connecting strength is not affected.

In the drug storage case 10, a vertically long rectangular slit having a predetermined width and a predetermined height penetrates the left and right side plates 3c and 3d corresponding to the rear surface of the front side plate 3a in the thickness direction in which the left and right connecting parts 9 are fitted. 1 vertical slit) 12a is formed. Further, the rear surface of the front side plate 3a and the front inner wall surface of the first vertical slit 12a are flush with each other in the first vertical slit 12a. The left and right side plates 3c, 3d of the drug storage case 10 have left and right protruding portions 31c, 31d extending forward from the front side plate 3a at their front ends. A second vertical slit 11a is formed to penetrate in the thickness direction. The second vertical slit 11a is a vertically long rectangular slit having a predetermined width and a predetermined height and penetrating through the left and right projecting portions 31c and 31d in the thickness direction. The front surface of the front side plate 3a and the rear inner wall surface of the second vertical slit 11a are flush with each other. One or the other of the first grips G1 or one or the other of the second grips G2 of the left-right connecting part 9 is fitted into the second vertical slit 11a. In this example, the left and right protrusions 31c and 31d have the same thickness as the left and right side plates 3c and 3d.

The first vertical slit 12a and the second vertical slit 11a are symmetrical with respect to the vertical central axis (virtual) at the center in the front-rear direction between the first vertical slit 12a and the second vertical slit 11a. That is, the first vertical slit 12a and the second vertical slit 11a form a pair of slits into which the left and right connecting parts 9 are fitted. The first plate-like body 911 and the first protrusion 941 of the first grip G11 of the left-right connection part 9 are fitted in the first vertical slit 12a, and the first protrusion 941 of the left-right connection part 9 is fitted in the second vertical slit 11a. The second plate-like body 921 and the second protrusion 951 of the grip G11 are fitted. As a result, the first grip G1 inserted into the first vertical slit 12a and the second vertical slit 11a grips both front and rear surfaces of the front side plate 3a. The slit widths of the vertical slits 12a and 11a are larger than the thickness of the first plate-like body 91 or the second plate-like body 92 of the left-right connecting part 9, similarly to the first vertical slit 1b. , even if it is larger than the thickness of the first plate-like body 91 or the second plate-like body 92 of the right-and-left connecting parts 9, the connection strength is not affected.

In the drug storage case 10, locking groove rails 4 extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the upper inner sides of the left and right side plates. The locking groove rail 4 is fitted with the locking projection rail 5 of the other drug storage case 10 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, so that the upper and lower drug storage cases 10 can be connected in a layered manner.

In the drug storage case 10, the left and right side plates 3c and 3d have a stepped structure at the top, as shown in FIGS. That is, the left and right side plates 3c and 3d are bent outward at right angles at the top and then bent upward at right angles to form a step, and the side plate serving as the inner side plate extends slightly upward to form the vertical groove 48. is configured. That is, the locking groove rail 4 includes an outer vertical plate 41 extending in the front-rear direction, and an inner vertical plate 42 extending in the front-rear direction and having a height lower than the height of the outer vertical plate 41 on the inner side separated from the outer vertical plate 41 by m dimension. a small horizontal plate 43 extending inward from the inner surface of the outer vertical plate 41 at a distance of n from the upper end of the inner vertical plate 42; and the upper end of the inner vertical plate 42. It is a double groove with an inverted L-shaped cross section with the lateral groove 49 that is attached. The outer side of the lateral groove 49 is continuous with the vertical groove 48 , and the groove length of the lateral groove 49 is the thickness of the inner vertical plate 42 . In addition, the outer vertical plate 41 constitutes a part of the left and right side plates 3c and 3d.

In addition, the length (projection length) of the small horizontal plate 43 extending inward is equal to or smaller than the groove width dimension m of the longitudinal groove 48 . As a result, when the other (upper) drug storage case 10 is lifted upward, the locking projection rail 5 comes into contact with the small horizontal plate 43 and is lifted, so that the other (upper) drug storage case 10 is The connected state can be maintained without falling off. The groove width (the vertical length in FIG. 10) of the lateral groove 49 is slightly larger than the thickness of the lid member 1, which is a separate member. As a result, the lid member 1 can be slidably fitted into the lateral groove 49, and after fitting, even if the lid member 1 is lifted, the small lateral plate 43 serves as a stopper and can be connected without falling off. .

In the locking groove rail 4, the small horizontal plates 43 are formed discontinuously in the front-rear direction and are partially formed (three places in this example), and the inner vertical plate 42 is formed of the partially formed small horizontal plates 43. Notched at corresponding positions. By partially arranging the locking groove rail 4 in this way, it is possible to smoothly connect other drug storage cases by sliding and to connect the lid members by sliding. Further, if a notch for removal is provided at the corresponding position and the avoiding position of the lid member 1, the lid member 1 can be removed in the middle of sliding without being pulled out by sliding.

As shown in FIG. 11, locking projection rails 5 extending in the front-rear direction are formed at the lower ends of the left and right side plates 3c and 3d in the drug storage case 10. As shown in FIG. The locking projection rail 5 has a projection shape that fits in the double groove of the locking groove rail 4. Specifically, when viewed from the front, the lower ends of the left and right side plates are bent outward at right angles and then bent downward at right angles. It is an inverted L shape. The locking projection rail 5 is formed continuously in the front-rear direction, but as shown in FIG. The notch 59 is accommodated in the storage shelf, and when it is pulled out, it is engaged with the front end of the bottom plate of the storage shelf to facilitate the work.

On the inner surfaces of the left and right plates 3c and 3d, a large number of partition plate protrusions 6 are formed longitudinally extending at a predetermined pitch in the front-rear direction. If a partition plate is attached between the projections 6 adjacent to each other in the left and right and front and rear directions, and a display plate is attached to the partition plate, the information on the drug between the partition plates becomes clear. For example, if three partition plates are used to divide the inside of the drug storage case 10 into four sections, the drug storage case 10 becomes a section for storing drugs for before going to bed, evening, noon, and morning from the rear to the front.

In the drug storage case 10, the front surface of the front side plate 3a is formed with a display section for storing a display board on which the name of the patient using the drug is written, for example. This makes it clear which patient the drug storage case 10 is for. The display section may have a pocket structure into which the display plate can be freely inserted.

Next, the drug storage case lateral connector (hereinafter also simply referred to as “case lateral connector”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. In FIGS. 3 to 6, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted, and different points are mainly described. The lateral case connecting body 20 includes a plurality (two) of drug storage cases 10 and a plurality (two) of left and right connecting parts 9 . Two medicine storage cases 10a and 10b adjacent in the left-right direction are connected adjacently in the left-right direction by left-right connecting parts 9 and 9. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the left-right connection part 9 includes a first plate-shaped body 91, a second plate-shaped body 92 facing the first plate-shaped body 91 with a distance of m, and a first plate-shaped body A connection body 93 that connects the body 91 and the second plate-shaped body 92 at the center in the left-right direction, and a front end that is formed in an upright or inclined shape on the back surface of the first plate-shaped body 91 and extends in the direction of the second plate-shaped body 92. a flexible first protrusion 94 extending in the direction of the first plate-like body 92, and a flexible second protrusion formed in an upright or inclined shape on the back surface of the second plate-like body 92 and having a tip end extending in the direction of the first plate-like body 91 a body 95; In this example, the connection body 93 is a plate-like body elongated in a direction (vertical direction) perpendicular to the left-right direction. When the left and right connecting parts 9 are connected, in a front view, the first plate-like body 91 faces the front, the first projecting body 94 and the second projecting body 95 inside cannot be seen from the front and the back, and the connecting body 93 is It extends long in the vertical direction.

The first plate-shaped body 91 and the second plate-shaped body 92 are plate-shaped bodies having a thickness of several millimeters, and hard vinyl chloride can be used, for example. The height dimension and width dimension of the first plate-like body 91 and the second plate-like body 92 are appropriately determined, and are, for example, approximately 30 mm to 40 mm. The connecting body 93 is a plate-like body having a strength of connecting the first plate-like body 91 and the second plate-like body 92 and having a thickness of several millimeters. The distance between the first plate-like body 91 and the second plate-like body 92 (symbol h) is, for example, greater than the thickness of the rear side plate, specifically between approximately 5 mm and ten and several mm, and is appropriately determined.

The first projecting body 94 and the second projecting body 95 are flexible, for example, made of soft vinyl chloride, and have a length extending in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction into the vertical slit, that is, a vertical direction, and a length of about h/2. A plurality of pointed hair-like cross-sectional protrusions or substantially rectangular cross-sectional protrusions having a height are formed apart from each other in the insertion direction. The first projection 94 is inclined toward the connecting portion 93 from its root to its tip, and the second projection 95 is likewise inclined toward the connecting portion 93 from its root to its tip. As a result, the first protrusions 94 and the second protrusions 95 bend in the inclined direction when they are inserted into the vertical slits, so that insertion resistance is small and smooth. Thus, the first protrusion 94 and the second protrusion 95 exert a force in a direction in which they are difficult to bend, and the pullout resistance becomes large, so that they are difficult to come off. In this example, there are three first protrusions 94 in G1 and three in G2, and two second protrusions 95 in G1 and two in G2. The left and right connecting parts 9 can be connected to the target connecting member, for example, the rear side plate, provided that the minimum thickness is 1 mm or more and the maximum thickness is 10 mm.

As shown in FIG. 8, the left-right connecting part 9 includes a left (one) first grip G1, a rear grip G12 of the first grip G1, and a second plate-shaped body 921 and a second protrusion 951. The front grip G11 of the first grip G1 is the first plate-like body 911 and the first protrusion 941. As shown in FIG. The rear grip G22 of the right (other) second grip G2 is the second plate-like body 922 and the second projection 952, and the front grip G21 of the second grip G2 is the first plate-like body 912 and the second grip G2. 1 projection 942 .

In the horizontal case connecting body 20, the front grip G11 is inserted into the vertical slit 1b in the rear portion of the left drug storage case 10a, strongly abuts the front side surface of the rear side plate 3b, and the rear grip G12 is connected to the rear side plate. The rear side plate 3b is strongly abutted against the rear side surface of the rear side plate 3b, and the first grip G1 strongly sandwiches the rear side plate 3b. In this case, although G12 of the left/right connecting part 9 is not inserted into the vertical slit 1b, the front grip G11 is strongly inserted into the vertical slit 1b and cannot be easily removed.

In the vertical slits 1a (11a, 12a) in the front part of the left drug storage case 10a, the front grip G11 is inserted into the second vertical slit 11a, strongly abuts the front side surface of the front side plate 3a, and the first vertical slit A rear grip G12 is inserted into the 12a and strongly contacts the rear side surface of the front side plate 3a, and the first grip G1 strongly sandwiches the front side plate 3a.

In the case horizontal connector 20, the front grip G21 of the second grip G2 is inserted into the vertical slit 1b in the rear portion of the right drug storage case 10b facing the left drug storage case 10a. The rear grip G22 strongly contacts the rear side surface of the rear side plate 3b, and the second grip G2 strongly holds the rear side plate 3b. In this case, although G22 of the left/right connecting part 9 is not inserted into the vertical slit 1b, the front grip G21 is strongly inserted into the vertical slit 1b and cannot be easily removed.

In the front vertical slit 1a (11a, 12a) of the right drug storage case 10b on the side facing the left drug storage case 10a, the front grip G21 is inserted into the second vertical slit 11a, and the front plate 3a. The rear grip G22 is inserted into the first vertical slit 12a, strongly contacts the rear side of the front side plate 3a, and the second grip G2 strongly sandwiches the front side plate 3a. The drug storage case 10b on the right and the drug storage case 10a on the left are strongly connected by the left and right connecting parts 9, and cannot be separated unless they are manually removed.

The upper opening of the lateral case connecting body 20 is covered with a lid member 8 . The lid member 8 is a plate-like body, and has a dimension and shape that closes the upper openings of the drug storage cases 10 a and 10 b and is slidable in the lateral grooves 49 of the locking groove rails 4 . In addition, two cutouts 13 (four on the left and right) are formed at the left and right ends of the plate-like body at a predetermined pitch in the front-rear direction. The size of the notch 13 is slightly larger than the size of the locking groove rail 4 which is partially formed. Moreover, the notch portion 13 is a position that does not correspond to the locking groove rail 4 when the lid member 1 is attached to the medicine storage case 10 . As a result, when the lid member 1 is attached to the drug storage case 10, the lid member 1 hits the small horizontal plate 43 of the locking groove rail 4 and does not come off. By coming to a position corresponding to the locking groove rail 4, the locking can be released by pulling up the lid member 1. - 特許庁

The case connecting body 30 is further stacked and connected in the vertical direction. That is, the locking groove rail 4 of the drug storage case 10 on the lower side and the locking projection rail 5 of the drug storage case 10 on the upper side are locked and connected, and the cover member 1 is connected to the lateral groove 49 of the drug storage case 10 on the upper side. It is attached to close the upper opening and is portable. The case connecting body 20 is not limited to connecting two drug storage cases 10, 10, and can connect three or more drug storage cases 10 in the vertical direction.

Next, an example of a method of assembling the case connecting body 30 will be described. Four drug storage cases 10, eight left and right connecting parts 9, and two lid members 1 are prepared. For example, one drug storage case 10 stores four daily doses of drugs for patient A: morning, noon, evening, and before going to bed. In the other drug storage case 10, four daily doses of drugs for patient B are stored: morning, noon, evening, and before going to bed. Also, prepare for patients C and D in the same way. A patient-by-patient operation of this drug is performed at the pharmacy. Next, the two drug storage cases 10, 10 are connected side by side by the left and right connecting parts 9, and further connected in the vertical direction. In the vertical connection, the upper drug storage case 10 is held at the front position so as to be in the vertical proximity position, and the rear side plate 3b of the upper drug storage case 10 is attached to the upper surface of the front side plate 3a of the lower drug storage case 10. Place the bottom edge and determine the vertical position. From this state, the drug storage case 10a on the upper side is slid rearward with respect to the drug storage case 10 on the lower side. At this time, the locking projection rails 5 of the upper drug storage case 10 and the locking groove rails 4 of the lower drug storage case 10b are connected while being locked. The lower portion of the rear plate 3b of the drug storage case 10 on the upper side contacts the upper portion of the rear plate 3b of the drug storage case 10 on the lower side, thereby completing the connection between the two.

Next, the lid member 1 is attached to the drug storage case 10 above the four drug storage cases 10 that are connected. The lid member 1 slides while engaging with the lateral groove 49 of the upper drug storage case 10 from the front to the rear. The attachment of the lid member 1 is completed when the rear end of the lid member 1 touches the rear side plate 3a of the medicine storage case 10 above. At this time, the notch 13 of the lid member 1 does not come to the corresponding position of the locking groove rail 4, and the left and right edges of the upper surface of the lid member 1 are in contact with the small horizontal plates 43, so that the lid member 1 is never left out. Then, the case connecting body 30 can be lifted by gripping and lifting the grip portion 12 .

The case connecting body 30 can grip the grip portion 12 and be carried by hand. The case connecting body 30 transported to a facility such as a hospital is disconnected. The method of removing the lid member 1 from the case connecting body 30 may be carried out in the reverse manner of the assembly. In the case of this example, the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 is slid to a position corresponding to the locking groove rail 4, the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 and the locking groove rail 4 are aligned, and the lid member 1 is should be raised. Removal of the two drug storage cases 10 is the reverse method of assembly, and the upper drug storage case 10a can be slid forward relative to the lower drug storage case 10b and removed.

Next, the drug storage case 10 is stored in the storage shelf and pulled out. A known storage shelf can be used. The storage shelf is a front-opening box-shaped body composed of left and right side plates, a top plate, a bottom plate, and a rear side plate, and can store, for example, four drug storage cases 10 side by side. The drug storage case 10 can be stored in the storage shelf by pushing the drug storage case 10 from the front to the rear.
