Even if the tablets are swallowed, the damage to the inside of the body is small, and the tablets can be shaped so as not to cause serious symptoms requiring emergency surgery.

Further, the lid member 20 is provided with a half cut 20a for easy separation of each bottom member 11. It should be noted that perforations may be provided in place of the half cut 20a, and a V-shaped or work-shaped cut (notch) may be provided.

Next, the material of each component of the package 10 will be described. The bottom material 11 of the packaging body 10 is made of a relatively thick material for accommodating and holding the tablets 15, for example, PVC having a thickness of 200 to 350 μm, a cyclic polyolefin,
PP, PET, or the like can be used. Therefore, the bottom material 11 is relatively hard.

On the other hand, as the lid member 20, a relatively thin material, for example, a laminated body having a thickness of 10 to 25 μm can be used. The layered structure of such a laminated body is, for example, OP layer / aluminum layer / heat. A sealing layer is possible.

Among them, the heat seal layer is, for example, polyvinyl acetate, PVA, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide resin, polyester resin,
It is possible to use homopolymers or copolymers and mixtures of thermoplastic resins such as polyolefin resins, polyacrylic resins, cellulose esters and polyethylene.

Since the lid member 20 is made of a relatively thin material as described above, the lid member 20 is relatively soft.

1 to 3, the package 10 fed from the opening 2 of the storage box 1 is heat-sealed to the bottom material 11 arranged continuously in a line and the upper surface of the flange portion 13 of the bottom material 11. 4 and 5, the bottom material 11 and the lid material 20 are reversed in position, and the lid material 20 is heat-sealed to the lower surface of the flange portion 13 of the bottom material 11 as shown in FIGS. The bottom material 11 may be arranged above the material 20.

A PVC sheet, for example, is inserted between the male mold 26 and the male mold 26, and the sheet is pressure-formed between the female mold 25 and the male mold 26. By performing the plug-assisted pneumatic forming (embossing) between the female die 25 and the male die 26 in this manner, a sheet body 30 having a large number of embossed portions 12 is obtained (FIG. 8A).

Next, the female die 25 holding the sheet body 30 is conveyed to the cutting device 27, and the sheet body 30 held on the female die 25 is cut by the cutting device 27 along the peripheral edge of the opening of each embossed portion 12. To be done. Thus, the bottom member 11 having the embossed portion 12 and the flange portion 13 is formed.
In this case, the embossed portion 12 of each bottom member 11 is housed in the housing portion 25a of the female die 25, and at the same time, the punching residue 30a of the sheet body 30 is wound up by a winding device (not shown) (FIG. 8 (b)). .

Next, the female mold 25 holding the bottom material 11 is conveyed to the filling device 28, and each of the bottom materials 1 held by the female mold 25 is conveyed.
The tablet 15 is filled from the filling device 28 into the embossed portion 11 of No. 1.

Next, the female die 25 holding the bottom material 11 is conveyed to the heat sealing device 29 and, for example, OP layer / aluminum layer / heat is applied to the flange portion 13 of each bottom material 11 held by the female die 25. The lid member 20 made of a sealing layer is thermocompression bonded by the heat sealing device 29. Thus, the flange portion 13 of each bottom member 11 is heat-sealed by the lid member 20, and the inside of the embossed portion 12 of each bottom member 11 is sealed. Then, the half cut 20a is applied to the lid member 20.
Is formed, and thus the package 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is obtained.

By the way, the tablet 15 may be swallowed together with the bottom material 11 and the lid material 20 (misuse) without taking out the tablet 15 from the embossed portion 12 of the bottom material 11. In this case, the bottom material 11 made of a hard thick material is
Since they are individually separated and independent and are bonded to the lid member 20 via the flange portion 13, the peripheral edge of the flange portion 13 is not exposed to the outside. Further, since the peripheral edge of the flange portion 13 is circular, even if the peripheral edge of the flange portion 13 is exposed to the outside, the flange portion 13 does not damage the inside of the body. Although the cut edge of the lid member 20 cut by the cutter 3 has a quadrangular shape, the lid member 20 is made of a soft thin material, so that the lid member 20 does not damage the inside of the body. Also, the lid member 20 does not hurt a finger or the like,
Further, the lid member 20 does not damage a finger or the like.

In the above embodiment, the female die 25 is conveyed from the male die 26 to the heat seal device 29 through the cutting device 27 and the filling device 28 while holding the sheet body 30 and the bottom material 11 on the female die 25. Although an example is shown, a separate lower mold is used instead of the female mold 25 to hold the sheet body 30 and the bottom material 11, and the separate lower mold is cut by the cutting device 2
