Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a formed package that has a number of recessed stowing pockets arranged in two or more lines to accommodate medicines, confectionery, etc., and prevents angular corners to be produced along the circumference of each item package when a number of the recessed stowing pockets are separated into the item packages. SOLUTION: Medicine item packages 28 are arranged in lines on both sides of a holder panel 32 with scores 30 between the item packages 28 and the holder plate 32. The scores 30 are also made between recessed medicine stowing packets 22 in each line so that the recessed medicine stowing pockets 22 can be cut off along the scores 30 and separated into the almost square-shaped medicine item packages 28. The scores 30b between the adjacent medicine item packages 28 in the same line and the scores 30a on the holder panel 30 side are smoothly, continuously connected by curved scores to prevent angular corners from being produced along the circumferences of the medicine item packages 28 after separated. In addition, the scores 30 are smoothly, continuously connected to both side edges of a plastic film 24 by curved scores.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a molded package in which a large number of storage recesses for medicines, confectionery and the like are formed in a plurality of rows, and in particular, a large number of storage recesses are individually cut and separated into individual packages. The present invention relates to a molded package that does not sometimes have a corner at the periphery of the package.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a molded package is widely known as a packaging form of a drug such as a capsule or a tablet, or a confectionery, and is particularly widely used as a PTP package of a drug. The molded package will be described using this PTP package as an example. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 5 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. A sheet 6 made of aluminum foil or the like is superimposed on a certain plastic film 4 and laminated by heat welding or the like. When taking the medicine 8, the capsule 6 is decomposed and the capsule 6 hermetically sealed in the storage recess 2 is taken out. The medicine 8 such as a tablet is taken out. Also, cut lines 12 are formed in the plastic film 4 vertically and horizontally to easily separate each of the medicine storage recesses 2 and separate them as individual medicine packs 10. Have been. In the drawing, the cut-off line is indicated by a two-dot chain line to distinguish it from the outer peripheral line.

[0003]

By the way, when taking the medicine 8 packaged in PTP, the sheet 6 is filled with the medicine 8 such as a capsule or a tablet hermetically sealed in the storage recess 2 as described above. Although it is taken out, the separated medicine package 10 may be accidentally taken as it is.

In such a case, the conventional PT
In the case of a P package (molded package), since the cutoff line 12 is formed vertically and horizontally orthogonally, each separated medicine package 10 after the separation has a corner 14, and therefore, the corner 14 There was a problem that the inside of the mouth and throat would be hurt.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to prevent corners from being formed in individual medicine packs after separation, and to make it possible to take the medicine even if accidentally taken as it is. It is an object of the present invention to provide a molded package having no risk of damaging the inside of the throat.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a sheet is superposed and laminated on a plastic film in which a large number of storage recesses for medicines, confectionery and the like are arranged in a plurality of rows. The plastic film has a cutout line formed by separating the individual accommodating recesses into individual packages, and extends along the row direction between the accommodating recess rows of the plastic film. A holding plate portion for holding each of the packages on both sides is provided, and a cut line of each of the packages is formed smoothly and continuously so that no corner is formed on the periphery of each of the packages after separation, and the cut line is formed. Since the connection with the outer edge of the plastic film is also formed smoothly and continuously, a package with no corners can be obtained, so that even if the medicine package after separation is mistakenly taken as it is, the mouth and throat may not be damaged. There is no.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of a molded package according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking a drug PTP package as an example.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a drug PTP package (molded package) 20 is laminated on a plastic film 24 in which a large number of drug storage recesses 22 are formed in two rows and is superimposed thereon and thermally fused. It is made of an aluminum foil sheet 26, and cut lines 30 (30a, 30b) are formed in the plastic film 24 to easily separate the medicine accommodating recesses 22 into individual medicine packs 28. .

Here, the plastic film 24 is provided with a holding plate portion 32 having a predetermined width and extending along the row direction at the center between the two rows of the drug storage recesses 22.
Each medicine package 28 is held on both sides of the holding plate 32 via a cut-off line 30a. The perforation line 30b is also formed between each medicine storage recess 22 of each row,
Each medicine accommodating recess 22 can be separated into individual medicine packs 28 each having a substantially square shape by being separated at the cutoff lines 30a and 30b.

Here, the connecting portion between the cut line 30b between the adjacent medicine packs 28 in the same row and the cut line 30a on the side of the holding plate portion 32 has a corner at the peripheral edge of each separated medicine pack 28. So that there are no cut lines 30a, 30b
They are connected smoothly and continuously. Further, the connection portion of the perforated line 30 connected to the outer peripheral edge of the plastic film 24 is also formed so as to be smoothly connected in an arc shape.

Therefore, the PTP of the drug of the first embodiment
In the package, each separated medicine package 28 has a square shape with four corners chamfered in an arc shape, and no corners are formed on the periphery. For this reason, the medicine package 28 after separation
Even if you accidentally take it as it is, it will not hurt your mouth or throat.

As shown in the second embodiment of FIG. 3, a large number of medicine accommodating recesses 22 formed in two rows on both sides of a plastic film 24 are cut off individually to form individual medicine packs 28. The cut line 30C that can be separated may be continuously formed in a circular shape together with a portion forming the outer edge of the plastic film 24 so that the medicine package after separation has a circular shape without corners.

As shown in FIG. 4, the number of rows of the storage recesses 22 may be three or more, and the holding plate portions 32 may be provided between the rows.

[0014]

As described above in detail in the embodiments,
A sheet is superposed and laminated on a plastic film in which a large number of storage recesses for medicines, confectionery, etc. are formed in a plurality of rows, and the plastic film can be separated into individual packages by separating each of the storage recesses. In the molded package formed with the cut lines, a holding plate portion extending along the row direction and holding each of the packages on both sides is provided between the storage recess rows of the plastic film, and the cut line of each of the packages is provided. Are formed smoothly and continuously so that no corners are formed on the peripheral edge of each package after separation, and the connection between the cut line and the outer peripheral edge of the plastic film is also smoothly and continuously formed. The body is obtained, and the mouth and throat are not hurt even if the separated package is mistakenly taken as it is.
