Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] A tablet take-out device that allows tablets to be easily taken out from the package in which the tablets are placed in the recesses formed in the hard plastic film and the aluminum foil is attached to the film surface. provide. [Structure] A lower member having a hole at the tip of a strip plate and an upper member having a bar standing uprightly at one end of the strip plate have an upper member fixed to a hole of the lower member. The bases of the lower member and the upper member were pivotally attached so that the material could rush in, and a spring was installed to expand both members toward the tip end side from the pivot point between the two members.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a tablet take-out device that allows a tablet to be easily taken out from a package that seals a tablet by laminating a hard plastic film having a recess for holding a tablet and a flat aluminum foil.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in Fig. 3, the packaging of tablets provided by a hospital or clinic is such that a transparent hard plastic film 1 is provided with a recess 2 and the tablet 3 is placed in the recess 2 and then a hard plastic film is provided. It is carried out by a method of laminating a flat aluminum foil 4 on the surface of 1.

Removal of the tablets 3 from such a package is carried out by pushing the recesses 2 of the hard plastic film 1 toward the aluminum foil 4 from the outside and breaking the aluminum foil 4. Since it requires a considerable amount of force, it was difficult for people with weak finger strength such as the elderly and people with physical disabilities to take out tablets.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the present invention provides a tablet take-out device that can easily take out a packaged tablet by laminating a hard plastic film and a flat aluminum foil.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a lower member having a hole at the tip of a strip plate and an upper member having a rod standing uprightly attached to one end of the strip plate have an upper member fixed to a hole of the lower member. The bases of the lower member and the upper member were pivotally attached so that the rods could be inserted, and a spring was installed to expand both members to the tip end side from the pivot point between both members.

[0006]

[Action]

 The lower member and the upper member are springs mounted between both members, and the tips are always open like an alligator. Further, if the distance between the tip ends of both members is narrowed against the repulsive force of the spring, the rod member of the upper member enters the hole of the lower member. Therefore, if the tablets packed by laminating the hard plastic film and flat aluminum foil are aligned with the holes of the lower member and the tip sides of both members are pressed from both sides, the rod will push the tablets, Break the foil and extrude the tablets. If the tip side of both members is released after the tablet is extruded, the tip side will reopen into an alligator shape due to the repulsive force of the spring.

It is preferable that the tip end of the rod has a semispherical shape. If the tip surface is a flat surface or a curved surface that is recessed inward, the force applied to the entire tablet becomes uniform, so that the hard plastic film breaks throughout the tablet, and a large force must be applied to the tablet. For this reason, if the tablet is small, the tablet will be crushed into powder, whereas in the case of a hemispherical shape, the force applied to the tablet will be at a specific part and the hard plastic film It pushes locally, so it easily tears. The spring may be a leaf spring or a coil spring.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which the lower member 5 is a strip-shaped plate material, a square hole 6 is formed at the tip, and the base is provided with side walls 7 extending in the same direction on both sides. It has a groove shape. Further, the upper member 8 is also a strip-shaped plate member, and a cylindrical bar member 9 having a semicircular spherical tip end surface is fixedly erected in the direction of the lower member 5 at the tip portion, and the base portion is Side walls 10 extending in the direction of the bar 9 are provided on both sides, and have a groove shape. Both members are fitted with side walls 7 and 10 of the base portion facing each other, and are pivotally attached by a pin 11 so as to be rotatable relative to each other. Further, the hole 6 of the lower member 5 and the bar member 9 of the upper member 8 can be inserted into the hole 6 when both members are brought close to each other. Further, both ends of the coil spring 12 are fixed to the tip end side of the pivot points of both members.

FIG. 2 shows a method for taking out the tablet 3, and the tablet 3 packaged by laminating the hard plastic film 1 and the aluminum foil 4 is placed so that the side of the aluminum foil 4 is the side of the lower member 5. It is placed on the side member 5 and the tablet 3 is fitted to the position of the hole 6. In this state, if the lower member 5 and the upper member 8 are squeezed and the distance between the tip ends is narrowed, the rod 9 pushes the tablet 3, so the aluminum foil 4 is broken and the tablet 3 is pushed out.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, since the tablet extracting device of the present invention only needs to grasp and clamp the lower member and the upper member, it is possible to use a hard plastic film and an aluminum foil for an elderly person or a physically handicapped person who has weak finger strength. Tablets can be easily removed from the laminated packaging.
