Description

嚥下用容器、嚥下用容器セット、嚥下用容器セットの製造方法、および嚥下用容器セットの製造装置Swallowing container, swallowing container set, swallowing container set manufacturing method, and swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus
　本発明は、嚥下用容器、嚥下用容器セット、嚥下用容器セットの製造方法、および嚥下用容器セットの製造装置に関し、特に嚥下補助物質が封入されている嚥下用容器、嚥下用容器セット、嚥下用容器セットの製造方法、および嚥下用容器セットの製造装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a container for swallowing, a container set for swallowing, a method for manufacturing a container set for swallowing, and a device for manufacturing a container set for swallowing, and in particular, a container for swallowing in which a swallowing auxiliary substance is enclosed, a container set for swallowing, and swallowing The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a container set for swallowing and a device for manufacturing a container set for swallowing.
　飲み込む力が弱い高齢者などの嚥下困難者は、食べ物を口に入れて噛み、飲み込み、食道から胃に送るまでの一連の過程をスムーズに行うことが困難であり、誤嚥しやすい。そのため、嚥下困難者が誤嚥をすることなく栄養補給や薬剤の摂取を容易に行うことができるように、嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすいゼリー状に食材などを加工したもの（嚥下補助物質）が市販されている。一般に、このような嚥下補助物質はスティック状に製造されており、それを嚥下困難者が食する際に、嚥下しやすい大きさに切断するなどして利用されている。 高 齢 People with difficulty swallowing, such as elderly people with weak ability to swallow, have difficulty in smoothly performing a series of processes from putting food into their mouths, biting, swallowing, and feeding them from the esophagus to the stomach, and are easily aspirated. Therefore, foods etc. processed into a jelly shape that is easy to swallow even for those with difficulty in swallowing so that people with difficulty swallowing can easily supply nutrition and ingest drugs without aspiration (swallowing aid) Is commercially available. Generally, such a swallowing auxiliary substance is manufactured in a stick shape, and is used by cutting it into a size that is easy to swallow when a person with difficulty in swallowing eats.
　ゼリーが所定の大きさに裁断されたものは、通常は口腔内でゼリーが散らばってしまい、嚥下困難者には不適である。しかし、所定の凝集力を持ちかつ大きさが２ｍｍ以上３ｍｍ以下程度に裁断されたゼリーは、口腔内でゼリーが散らばり難く、かつ唾液と混じり合い易い。そのため、嚥下困難者にとっても嚥下しやすい食塊とすることができる。 If the jelly is cut into a predetermined size, the jelly is usually scattered in the mouth and is not suitable for those with difficulty swallowing. However, a jelly having a predetermined cohesive force and having a size of about 2 mm or more and 3 mm or less is less likely to scatter in the oral cavity and easily mix with saliva. Therefore, it can be set as the bolus which is easy to swallow even for those with difficulty swallowing.
　国際公開２０１０／０５８４５６号（特許文献１）には、食用ゲル化物を適当な大きさの粒状にして押し出すための充填容器体が記載されている。 International Publication No. 2010/058456 (Patent Document 1) describes a filling container body for extruding an edible gelled product into a suitable size.
国際公開２０１０／０５８４５６号International Publication No. 2010/058456
　しかしながら、従来の充填容器体では、嚥下補助物質を取り出す際に、嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい程度に十分に細かく裁断することが困難な場合があった。 However, in the case of the conventional filling container body, when taking out the swallowing auxiliary substance, there are cases where it is difficult to cut into fine enough to be easily swallowed even by those who have difficulty swallowing.
　本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものである。本発明の主たる目的は、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる嚥下用容器、嚥下用容器セット、嚥下用容器セットの製造方法、および嚥下用容器セットの製造装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. The main object of the present invention is to provide a swallowing container, a swallowing container set, a method for manufacturing a swallowing container set, and a manufacturing apparatus for a swallowing container set, in which a swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state that can be easily swallowed by a person with difficulty in swallowing Is to provide.
　本発明に係る嚥下用容器は、嚥下補助物質を封入する封入部と、封入部と隣り合って配置され、かつ、封入部から流出した嚥下補助物質を通すための流動部と、封入部と流動部との境界において、封入部が外部からの圧力を受けたときにシールが破壊されるシール部とを備える。流動部は、嚥下補助物質の流出経路における幅がシール部よりも狭くなっている裁断部を有している。 A container for swallowing according to the present invention includes an enclosing part that encloses a swallowing auxiliary substance, a fluidizing part that is disposed adjacent to the enclosing part, and that allows the swallowing auxiliary substance that has flowed out of the enclosing part to pass therethrough, and the enclosing part and the flow And a sealing portion where the seal is broken when the enclosing portion receives pressure from outside. The flow part has a cutting part whose width in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance is narrower than that of the seal part.
　ここで、嚥下補助物質の流出経路における幅とは、封入部と流動部とが連なる方向に対して交差する方向における流出経路の幅をいう。 Here, the width in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance refers to the width of the outflow route in the direction intersecting the direction in which the enclosing portion and the fluidizing portion are continuous.
　本発明に係る嚥下用容器によれば、封入部に封入されている嚥下補助物質は、封入部が外部から押圧されてシール部のシール強度を超える力を受けると、シール部に対しシール強度を超える力を印加してシール部を破壊し、流動部の裁断部に勢いよく押し出される。そのため、本発明に係る嚥下用容器から取り出された嚥下補助物質は、裁断部を通過する際に効果的に裁断され、十分に細かく裁断されることができる。つまり、上記嚥下用容器によれば、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。 According to the swallowing container of the present invention, the swallowing auxiliary substance enclosed in the enclosing part has a sealing strength against the seal part when the enclosing part is pressed from the outside and receives a force exceeding the seal strength of the seal part. The force exceeding the pressure is applied to break the seal portion, and the force is pushed out to the cutting portion of the fluid portion. Therefore, the swallowing auxiliary substance taken out from the swallowing container according to the present invention is effectively cut when passing through the cutting part, and can be cut sufficiently finely. That is, according to the above container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state where it can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing.
　上記嚥下用容器において、シール部は、封入部と流動部とが連なる方向に対して交差する方向に延びるように設けられている。裁断部の流出経路における幅がシール部側に近づくほど大きくなるような傾斜を裁断部は有している。 In the above swallowing container, the seal portion is provided so as to extend in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the enclosing portion and the fluid portion are continuous. The cutting part has an inclination such that the width in the outflow path of the cutting part increases as it approaches the seal part side.
　これにより、封入部から押し出された嚥下補助物質の少なくとも一部は、裁断部においてこのような傾斜を有している部分と順次接触することとなる。そのため、たとえば流出経路における幅が大きい、裁断部のシール部に近い部分で裁断された嚥下補助物質を、流出経路における幅が小さい裁断部のシール部に遠い部分でさらに細かく裁断することができる。その結果、嚥下補助物質を効果的に裁断して、十分に細く裁断することができる。つまり、上記嚥下用容器によれば、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。 Thereby, at least a part of the swallowing auxiliary substance pushed out from the enclosing part comes into contact with the part having such an inclination in the cutting part sequentially. Therefore, for example, a swallowing auxiliary substance that is cut at a portion close to the sealing portion of the cutting portion that has a large width in the outflow path can be further finely cut at a portion far from the sealing portion of the cutting portion that has a small width in the outflow path. As a result, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be effectively cut and cut into a sufficiently thin piece. That is, according to the above container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state where it can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing.
　上記嚥下用容器は、封入部および流動部の双方を両側から挟み込む第１側部と第２側部とをさらに備える。第１側部と第２側部との各々は、シール部よりも高いシール強度を有している。裁断部は、第１側部および第２側部の少なくとも一方が他方に向かって突出するように形成されている凸部によって構成されている。 The swallowing container further includes a first side portion and a second side portion that sandwich both the enclosing portion and the fluidizing portion from both sides. Each of the first side portion and the second side portion has a higher sealing strength than the seal portion. The cutting part is constituted by a convex part formed so that at least one of the first side part and the second side part protrudes toward the other side.
　このようにしても、凸部とシール部が延在する方向において凸部と対向する第１側部または第２側部との間隔に相当する裁断部の流出経路の幅は、当該延在する方向における第１側部と第２側部との間隔に相当するシール部の幅よりも、当該延在する方向における凸部の長さの分だけ狭くなっている。そのため、このような嚥下用容器によれば、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。また、第１側部と第２側部とを形成することにより、封入部、流動部、および裁断部を同時に形成することも可能であるため、このような嚥下用容器は容易に製造されることができる。 Even if it does in this way, the width | variety of the outflow path | route of the cutting part equivalent to the space | interval with the 1st side part or 2nd side part which opposes a convex part in the direction where a convex part and a seal | sticker part extend extends the said part. The width of the seal portion corresponding to the distance between the first side portion and the second side portion in the direction is narrower by the length of the convex portion in the extending direction. Therefore, according to such a container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state that can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing. Moreover, since the enclosure part, the fluid part, and the cutting part can be formed simultaneously by forming the first side part and the second side part, such a swallowing container is easily manufactured. be able to.
　上記嚥下用容器において、第１側部および第２側部の少なくとも一方には切込部が形成されており、切込部は、第１側部と第２側部との間を横断する破断部を封入部に形成可能に設けられている。 In the swallowing container, a cut portion is formed in at least one of the first side portion and the second side portion, and the cut portion is a break that crosses between the first side portion and the second side portion. The part can be formed in the enclosing part.
　このようにすれば、嚥下用容器から嚥下補助物質を取り出す方法として、封入部を押圧して流動部を通して嚥下補助物質を押し出す方法の他に、切込部から第１側部と第２側部との間を横断する破断部を封入部に形成し、破断部を通して嚥下補助物質を押し出す方法を選択することができる。後者の場合、嚥下補助物質がたとえばゼリーなどのゲル状である場合には、嚥下補助物質を封入部に封入されていた形状のまま嚥下用容器から取り出すことができる。 If it does in this way, as a method of taking out a swallowing auxiliary substance from a container for swallowing, in addition to a method of pushing an enclosing part and pushing out a swallowing auxiliary substance through a fluidized part, the first side part and the second side part from the incision part It is possible to select a method in which a breakage part that crosses between the two is formed in the enclosing part and the swallowing auxiliary substance is pushed out through the breakage part. In the latter case, when the swallowing auxiliary substance is in the form of a gel such as jelly, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out from the swallowing container with the shape enclosed in the enclosure.
　上記嚥下用容器において、封入部はシール部と反対側においてラウンド形状の角部を有している。 In the above swallowing container, the enclosing part has a round corner on the side opposite to the seal part.
　このようにすれば、たとえば上述のように切込部から第１側部と第２側部との間を横断する破断部を形成して破断部を通して嚥下補助物質を取り出す場合に、取り出された嚥下補助物質は封入部内での形状を維持しているため、ラウンド形状の角部を有している。このような嚥下補助物質は、嚥下時に口腔内や咽喉などに引っかかり難いため、嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい。つまり、上記嚥下用容器によれば、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として、２通りの方法により取り出すことができる。 In this way, for example, when a rupture portion that crosses between the first side portion and the second side portion is formed from the cut portion as described above, and the swallowing auxiliary substance is taken out through the rupture portion, it was taken out. Since the swallowing auxiliary substance maintains the shape in the enclosing part, it has round corners. Such a swallowing auxiliary substance is not easily caught in the oral cavity or throat during swallowing, and is therefore easily swallowed by those who have difficulty swallowing. That is, according to the above container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out by two methods in a state where it can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty swallowing.
　上記嚥下用容器において、嚥下補助物質はゼリーであり、造影剤を含んでいる。このようにすれば、嚥下用容器から取り出された嚥下補助物質を嚥下した後、誤嚥や残留等について嚥下造影検査（ＶＦ）を行うことができる。 In the above container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance is jelly and contains a contrast agent. If it does in this way, after swallowing the swallowing auxiliary substance taken out from the container for swallowing, it is possible to perform a swallowing contrast examination (VF) for aspiration or residue.
　上記嚥下用容器において、嚥下補助物質はゼリーであり、着色および味付けの少なくともいずれかが施されている。このようにすれば、封入部に封入された嚥下補助物質に対し、たとえば嚥下訓練や薬剤摂取など嚥下用容器の使用目的に応じて適切な着色や味付けを行うことができる。 In the above container for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance is jelly and is colored or seasoned. If it does in this way, suitable coloring and seasoning can be performed with respect to the swallowing auxiliary substance enclosed by the enclosure part according to the intended purpose of the container for swallowing, such as swallowing training and medicine intake.
　本発明に係る嚥下用容器セットは、上記嚥下用容器を複数有し、複数の嚥下用容器が、シール部が延在する方向において互いに連結されている。このような嚥下用容器セットにおいて、個々の嚥下用容器は嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができるように設けられている。また、このような嚥下用容器セットは、封入部に封入されている嚥下補助物質の構成材料や封入量などが互いに異なる複数の嚥下用容器で構成することができる。そのため、上記嚥下用容器セットによれば、たとえば嚥下困難者の状態に応じて最適な嚥下用容器を選択することも可能である。 The swallowing container set according to the present invention includes a plurality of the above swallowing containers, and the plurality of swallowing containers are connected to each other in the direction in which the seal portion extends. In such a swallowing container set, the individual swallowing containers are provided so that the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state that can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing. Moreover, such a container set for swallowing can be composed of a plurality of swallowing containers that are different from each other in the constituent material and the amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance enclosed in the enclosing part. Therefore, according to the above container set for swallowing, it is possible to select an optimal swallowing container according to, for example, the state of a person having difficulty in swallowing.
　上記嚥下用容器セットにおいて、複数の嚥下用容器のうち互いに隣り合う一対の嚥下用容器の間にはミシン目が形成されており、複数の嚥下用容器は互いに分離可能に設けられている。このようにすれば、嚥下用容器セットにおいて使用した嚥下用容器を分離し、あるいは廃棄することができる。また、このような嚥下用容器セットによれば、たとえば第３者は嚥下用容器セットを確認することで、使用済みの嚥下用容器が廃棄されている場合にも当該嚥下用容器セットにおいて使用された嚥下用容器を容易に知ることができ、嚥下困難者の状態把握を容易に行うことができる。 In the above swallowing container set, perforations are formed between a pair of swallowing containers adjacent to each other among the plurality of swallowing containers, and the plurality of swallowing containers are provided so as to be separable from each other. If it does in this way, the container for swallowing used in the container set for swallowing can be isolate | separated or discarded. In addition, according to such a swallowing container set, for example, a third party can confirm the swallowing container set and use the swallowing container set even when the used swallowing container is discarded. It is possible to easily know the container for swallowing, and it is possible to easily grasp the state of a person having difficulty in swallowing.
　上記嚥下用容器セットにおいて、複数の嚥下用容器の各々の嚥下補助物質の封入量は、複数の嚥下用容器の配置の順に従って段階的に変化している。 In the above-described swallowing container set, the amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance enclosed in each of the plurality of swallowing containers changes stepwise according to the order of arrangement of the plurality of swallowing containers.
　このような嚥下用容器セットによれば、たとえば嚥下困難者の嚥下訓練に用いられて、嚥下訓練の進行に合わせて徐々に嚥下補助物質の封入量が多い嚥下用容器を使用するなどの利用が可能である。 According to such a container set for swallowing, for example, it is used for swallowing training for persons with difficulty in swallowing, and the use of a swallowing container in which the amount of a swallowing auxiliary substance gradually increases in accordance with the progress of swallowing training is used. Is possible.
　本発明に係る嚥下用容器セットの製造方法は、第１シート材と第２シート材とを長手方向に沿って接合するシール部を形成することにより、第１シート材および第２シート材からシール部の一方側に位置する筒状体部と、シール部の他方側に位置するシート重ね部とを形成する工程と、筒状体部およびシート重ね部に、長手方向に交差する方向に延びる第１接合部を形成する工程と、筒状体部およびシート重ね部に、第１接合部に重なり、第１接合部より幅が広く、かつシール部よりも高い接合強度を有する第２接合部を形成する工程とを備える。第２接合部を形成する工程では、シート重ね部における第２接合部の部分が筒状体部における第２接合部の部分より長手方向に突き出すように形成される。 The manufacturing method of the container set for swallowing which concerns on this invention forms a seal part which joins a 1st sheet material and a 2nd sheet material along a longitudinal direction, and seals from a 1st sheet material and a 2nd sheet material. Forming a cylindrical body part located on one side of the part and a sheet overlapping part located on the other side of the seal part, and extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction to the cylindrical body part and the sheet overlapping part. A step of forming one joining portion, and a second joining portion that overlaps the first joining portion, is wider than the first joining portion, and has a joining strength higher than that of the seal portion, on the cylindrical body portion and the sheet overlapping portion. Forming. In the step of forming the second joint portion, the second joint portion in the sheet overlapping portion is formed so as to protrude in the longitudinal direction from the second joint portion in the cylindrical body portion.
　このようにすれば、上述した嚥下用容器セットを容易に製造することができる。また、このようにして得られた嚥下用容器セットを個々の嚥下用容器に分離することで、上述した嚥下用容器を容易に製造することができる。封入部に封入される嚥下補助物質の封入量が少ない嚥下用容器を製造する場合でも、封入部の容積を十分に小さくすることで封入部に膨らみを持たせることができる。その結果、封入部はシール部の接合強度以上の力で押圧されたときにその力を嚥下補助物質を介してシール部に無駄なく伝えることができる。また、シート重ね部における第２接合部の部分が筒状体部における第２接合部の部分より長手方向に突き出すように形成されることで、上記嚥下用容器の凸部を容易に形成することができる。この結果、凸部を含む流動部を通じて嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる嚥下用容器を製造することができる。 In this way, the above swallowing container set can be easily manufactured. Moreover, the above-described swallowing container can be easily manufactured by separating the swallowing container set thus obtained into individual swallowing containers. Even in the case of manufacturing a swallowing container in which the amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance enclosed in the enclosing part is small, the encapsulating part can be swollen by sufficiently reducing the volume of the enclosing part. As a result, when the enclosing portion is pressed with a force equal to or higher than the bonding strength of the seal portion, the force can be transmitted to the seal portion through the swallowing auxiliary substance without waste. Moreover, the convex part of the said container for swallowing is easily formed by forming so that the part of the 2nd junction part in a sheet | seat overlap part may protrude in the longitudinal direction from the part of the 2nd junction part in a cylindrical body part. Can do. As a result, it is possible to manufacture a swallowing container that can take out the swallowing auxiliary substance in a state that can be easily swallowed by a person with difficulty in swallowing through the flow part including the convex part.
　上記嚥下用容器セットの製造方法において、第１シート材と第２シート材とは一枚のシートとして設けられている。このようにすれば、一枚のシートを折り畳むことにより、嚥下用容器セットを容易に製造することができる。 In the method for manufacturing a swallowing container set, the first sheet material and the second sheet material are provided as a single sheet. If it does in this way, the container set for swallowing can be easily manufactured by folding one sheet.
　本発明に係る嚥下用容器セットの製造装置は、シート材の長手方向に沿ってシート材を供給する供給部材と、長手方向に沿ってシート材同士を接合する第１接合部材と、シート材が第１接合部材によって接合されることにより得られる筒状体に嚥下補助物質を注入する注入部材と、長手方向に交差する方向に沿ってシート材同士を接合する第２接合部材と、交差する方向に沿ってシート材同士を接合する第３接合部材とを備え、第３接合部材は、長手方向において第２接合部材よりも広い領域を接合可能に設けられている。 The swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes a supply member that supplies a sheet material along the longitudinal direction of the sheet material, a first joining member that joins the sheet materials along the longitudinal direction, and the sheet material. The injection member that injects the swallowing auxiliary substance into the cylindrical body obtained by being joined by the first joining member, the second joining member that joins the sheet materials along the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction, and the intersecting direction And a third joining member that joins the sheet materials to each other, and the third joining member is provided so as to be able to join a region wider than the second joining member in the longitudinal direction.
　このような嚥下用容器セットの製造装置によれば、長手方向に延びるシート材を用いて、嚥下用容器セットを容易に製造することができる。 According to such a swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus, a swallowing container set can be easily manufactured using a sheet material extending in the longitudinal direction.
　本発明によれば、嚥下補助物質を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる嚥下用容器、嚥下用容器セット、嚥下用容器セットの製造方法、および嚥下用容器セットの製造装置を提供することができる。 According to the present invention, there are provided a swallowing container, a swallowing container set, a method for manufacturing a swallowing container set, and a manufacturing apparatus for a swallowing container set, in which the swallowing auxiliary substance can be taken out in a state that can be easily swallowed by a person with difficulty in swallowing.

　以下、図面を参照して、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。なお、以下の図面において同一または相当する部分には同一の参照番号を付し、その説明は繰返さない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will not be repeated.
　（実施の形態１）
　図１～図３を参照して、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１について説明する。嚥下用容器１１は、封入部１、流動部２、およびシール部３を主に備える。 (Embodiment 1)
A swallowing container 11 according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The swallowing container 11 mainly includes an enclosure part 1, a fluid part 2, and a seal part 3.
　封入部１は、嚥下補助物質１０を封入している。嚥下補助物質１０は、薬剤の嚥下を補助可能な物質であり、たとえば薬剤を含む経口可能な食用のゼリーである。好ましくは、嚥下補助物質１０は、ゲル状であり薬剤を包み込むように薬剤に付着可能である程度の粘性を有する。嚥下補助物質１０は、薬剤を包み込むよう薬剤に付着した状態で口腔内に入り、咽喉、食道を通過して胃に運ばれる。それゆえ、嚥下補助物質１０は、咽喉および食道の各々の内壁を滑らかに通過可能である程度の粘性を有することが好ましい。嚥下補助物質１０は、液体、液状体または半固形体であり、好ましくは水分を含む。嚥下補助物質１０は、水よりも粘性が高く、凝集性が高く、かつ薬剤に対する付着性が高い。嚥下補助物質１０の凝集性とは、裁断された嚥下補助物質１０が口腔内で散らばらずに一塊となっている性質である。嚥下補助物質１０が高い凝集性を有していれば、裁断された嚥下補助物質１０は口腔内において食塊を形成しやすい。 The enclosing part 1 encloses a swallowing auxiliary substance 10. The swallowing assisting substance 10 is a substance capable of assisting in swallowing the drug, and is, for example, an orally edible jelly containing the drug. Preferably, the swallowing assisting substance 10 is in a gel form and has a certain degree of viscosity that can be attached to the drug so as to wrap the drug. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 enters the oral cavity in a state of being attached to the drug so as to wrap the drug, and is carried to the stomach through the throat and esophagus. Therefore, it is preferable that the swallowing aid 10 has a certain degree of viscosity so that it can smoothly pass through the inner walls of the throat and esophagus. The swallowing aid 10 is a liquid, liquid or semi-solid, and preferably contains moisture. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 has higher viscosity than water, high cohesiveness, and high adhesion to drugs. The cohesiveness of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is a property that the cut swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is a lump without being scattered in the oral cavity. If the swallowing aid substance 10 has high cohesiveness, the cut swallowing aid substance 10 tends to form a bolus in the oral cavity.
　嚥下補助物質１０は、薬効成分又は活性成分を含む物質（たとえば乳酸菌など）を含んでいてもよい。また、嚥下補助物質１０は、たとえば造影剤を含んでいてもよい。造影剤は、たとえば硫酸バリウムやガドリニウム造影剤などである。嚥下補助物質１０は、着色剤や味付け剤などを含んでいてもよい。嚥下補助物質１０に含まれている着色剤は、人体に有害でない限りにおいて嚥下補助物質１０に着ける色に応じて任意に選択され得るが、たとえば青色に着色する場合には食用青色１号（ブリリアントブルーＦＣＦ（食品添加物辞典２０００参照））であってもよい。また、嚥下補助物質１０に含まれている味付け剤は、人体に有害でない限りにおいて任意の香料とすることができる。 The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 may contain a substance (for example, lactic acid bacteria) containing a medicinal component or an active ingredient. Moreover, the swallowing assistance substance 10 may contain a contrast agent, for example. The contrast agent is, for example, barium sulfate or gadolinium contrast agent. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 may contain a coloring agent, a seasoning agent, and the like. The colorant contained in the swallowing aid 10 can be arbitrarily selected according to the color that can be worn on the swallowing aid 10 as long as it is not harmful to the human body. For example, when coloring blue, Edible Blue No. 1 (Brilliant) Blue FCF (see Food Additive Dictionary 2000)). Moreover, the seasoning agent contained in the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be any fragrance as long as it is not harmful to the human body.
　流動部２は、シール部３を挟んで封入部１と隣り合って配置されている。流動部２は、封入部１が外部からの圧力を受けてシール部３が破壊されたときに、封入部１から流出した嚥下補助物質１０を通すことができる。つまり、流動部２は、封入部１に封入された嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下用容器１１から取り出して嚥下する際の嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路を構成している。流動部２は、一方の端部がシール部３を介して封入部１と接続されているとともに、他方の端部（Ｅ２）が嚥下用容器１１の外形端部を成している。流動部２は、たとえば他方の端部（Ｅ２）を通して外部と接続されている。 The fluid part 2 is arranged adjacent to the enclosing part 1 with the seal part 3 interposed therebetween. The flow part 2 can pass the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 that has flowed out of the enclosing part 1 when the enclosing part 1 receives pressure from the outside and the seal part 3 is broken. That is, the flow part 2 constitutes an outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 when the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 enclosed in the enclosing part 1 is taken out of the swallowing container 11 and swallowed. The flow part 2 has one end connected to the enclosing part 1 via the seal part 3 and the other end (E2) forming the outer end of the swallowing container 11. The flow part 2 is connected to the outside through the other end (E2), for example.
　封入部１と流動部２との境界にはシール部３が設けられている。シール部３は、封入部１が外部からの圧力を受けた時にシールが破壊されるようなシール強度を有している。シール部３は、封入部１と流動部２とが連なる方向Ａ（以下、単に連なる方向Ａという）に交差する方向に延びるように形成されており、たとえば連なる方向Ａに垂直な方向Ｂ（以下、単に垂直な方向Ｂという）に延びるように形成されている。 A seal part 3 is provided at the boundary between the enclosing part 1 and the fluid part 2. The seal portion 3 has such a seal strength that the seal is broken when the enclosing portion 1 receives an external pressure. The seal portion 3 is formed so as to extend in a direction intersecting a direction A (hereinafter simply referred to as a continuous direction A) where the enclosing portion 1 and the fluid portion 2 are connected, and for example, a direction B (hereinafter referred to as a continuous direction A). , Simply extending in the vertical direction B).
　嚥下用容器１１において、封入部１は、その全外周を複数のシート材が溶着された溶着部またはシート材が折り畳まれた折り畳み部により囲まれていることにより、密封空間として形成されているが、流動部２との境界においてはシール部３によって封じられている。また、流動部２は、その外周のうち少なくとも３方を複数のシート材が溶着された溶着部、またはシート材が折り畳まれた折り畳み部により囲まれていることにより、一端が開放された開放空間または密封空間として形成されているが、封入部１との境界においてはシール部３によって封じられている。 In the swallowing container 11, the enclosing portion 1 is formed as a sealed space by being surrounded by a welded portion in which a plurality of sheet materials are welded or a folded portion in which the sheet materials are folded. The boundary with the fluid part 2 is sealed by the seal part 3. The fluid part 2 is an open space in which one end is opened by being surrounded by a welded part in which a plurality of sheet materials are welded or a folded part in which the sheet material is folded on at least three sides of the outer periphery thereof. Alternatively, it is formed as a sealed space, but is sealed by a seal portion 3 at the boundary with the enclosing portion 1.
　封入部１および流動部２が、シール部３以外に溶着により形成されているその他の溶着部（たとえば後述する第１側部５および第２側部６）が形成されることにより、封じられている場合には、シール部３のシール強度はその他の溶着部の接合強度（たとえば第１側部５のシール強度および第２側部６のシール強度）と比べて低く設けられている。これにより、封入部１が外部からの圧力を受けた時に、封入部１内の嚥下補助物質１０はシール部３および他の溶着部を押圧するが、接合強度が最も弱いシール部３が確実に破壊される。 The sealed portion 1 and the fluidized portion 2 are sealed by forming other welded portions (for example, a first side portion 5 and a second side portion 6 described later) formed by welding in addition to the seal portion 3. In this case, the seal strength of the seal portion 3 is set lower than the bonding strength of other weld portions (for example, the seal strength of the first side portion 5 and the seal strength of the second side portion 6). Thereby, when the enclosure part 1 receives the pressure from the outside, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the enclosure part 1 presses the seal part 3 and other weld parts, but the seal part 3 having the weakest joint strength is surely provided. Destroyed.
　流動部２は、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における幅がシール部３よりも狭くなっている裁断部２Ａを有している。ここで、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅とは、連なる方向Ａに交差する方向における、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２をいう。つまり、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２は、シール部３の幅Ｗ１（言い換えると、シール部３と接続されている流動部２の一方の端部における流出経路の幅Ｗ１）よりも狭い。 The flow part 2 has a cutting part 2A in which the width in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is narrower than the seal part 3. Here, the width of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 refers to the width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the direction intersecting the continuous direction A. That is, the width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting section 2A is the width W1 of the seal section 3 (in other words, the width W1 of the outflow path at one end of the fluid section 2 connected to the seal section 3). Narrower than.
　裁断部２Ａは、流動部２において、封入部１と接続されている一方の端部と嚥下用容器１１の外部と接続されている他方の端部（Ｅ２）との間に配置されており、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の一部を構成している。 The cutting part 2A is disposed in the fluid part 2 between one end connected to the enclosing part 1 and the other end (E2) connected to the outside of the swallowing container 11, It constitutes a part of the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10.
　このような嚥下用容器１１では、封入部１が外部からの圧力を受けると封入部１に封入されている嚥下補助物質１０に当該圧力が加えられて、嚥下補助物質１０がシール部３を押圧することになる。シール部３は嚥下補助物質１０を封じているが、そのシール強度を超える力を嚥下補助物質１０から受けると破壊され、封入部１が開封される。 In such a swallowing container 11, when the enclosing part 1 receives external pressure, the pressure is applied to the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 enclosed in the enclosing part 1, and the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 presses the seal part 3. Will do. The seal part 3 seals the swallowing auxiliary substance 10. However, when the force exceeding the seal strength is received from the swallowing auxiliary substance 10, the seal part 3 is broken and the enclosing part 1 is opened.
　嚥下補助物質１０は、封入部１が開封されると流動部２に押し出され、裁断部２Ａにおける流出経路を通って嚥下用容器１１の外部に取り出される。裁断部２Ａにおける流出経路の幅Ｗ２はシール部３の幅Ｗ１よりも狭いため、嚥下補助物質１０は裁断部２Ａを通る際に裁断される。このとき、嚥下補助物質１０は、シール部３のシール強度を超える力を受けて裁断部２Ａに押し出されているため、裁断部２Ａによって十分に細かく裁断されることができる。つまり、嚥下用容器１１によれば、嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。 The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is pushed out to the flow part 2 when the enclosing part 1 is opened, and taken out of the swallowing container 11 through the outflow route in the cutting part 2A. Since the width W2 of the outflow path in the cutting part 2A is narrower than the width W1 of the seal part 3, the swallowing aid substance 10 is cut when passing through the cutting part 2A. At this time, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 receives a force exceeding the seal strength of the seal portion 3 and is pushed out to the cutting portion 2A, and therefore can be cut sufficiently finely by the cutting portion 2A. That is, according to the container 11 for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be taken out in a state in which it can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing.
　以下、図１～図３を参照して、本実施の形態に係る嚥下用容器１１の詳細な構成例について説明する。 Hereinafter, a detailed configuration example of the swallowing container 11 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
　封入部１は、たとえば一枚のシート材２０を折り曲げて一方（第１シート材２０Ａ）と他方（第２シート材２０Ｂ）とが重ね合わされたときの折り畳み部Ｅ１、重ね合わされたシート材２０Ａ，２０Ｂが溶着されているシール部３、第１側部５、および第２側部６により囲まれている密封空間である。嚥下用容器１１を平面視したときの封入部１の平面形状は、たとえば長方形状である。 For example, the enclosing portion 1 is formed by folding a single sheet material 20 and folding the one (first sheet material 20A) and the other (second sheet material 20B), the folded portion E1, the superimposed sheet material 20A, This is a sealed space surrounded by the seal portion 3, the first side portion 5, and the second side portion 6 to which 20B is welded. The planar shape of the enclosure part 1 when the swallowing container 11 is viewed in plan is, for example, a rectangular shape.
　流動部２は、たとえば一枚のシート材２０を折り曲げて一方（第１シート材２０Ａ）と他方（第２シート材２０Ｂ）とが重ね合わされたときの重なり部Ｅ２、シール部３、第１側部５、および第２側部６により囲まれている開放空間である。シート材２０を構成する材料は、嚥下補助物質１０と反応することなく嚥下補助物質１０を密封可能な任意の材料とすることができるが、可撓性を有し、熱溶着可能な材料で構成されているのが好ましく、たとえばポリエチレンやポリエチレンテレフタラートなどの樹脂材料である。 For example, the fluidized portion 2 is formed by folding one sheet material 20 and overlapping one portion (first sheet material 20A) and the other (second sheet material 20B), the overlapping portion E2, the seal portion 3, and the first side. This is an open space surrounded by the part 5 and the second side part 6. The material constituting the sheet material 20 can be any material that can seal the swallowing assisting substance 10 without reacting with the swallowing assisting substance 10, but is made of a flexible material that can be heat-welded. The resin material is preferably a resin material such as polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate.
　封入部１には、嚥下補助物質１０が隙間無く封入されているのが、嚥下補助物質１０からの離水を防止できる点で好ましい。つまり、封入部１の容積と嚥下補助物質１０の体積とが等しく形成されているのが好ましい。言い換えると、封入部１の周囲に配置されている折り畳み部Ｅ１、シール部３、第１側部５、および第２側部６は、それぞれ封入部１に封入されている嚥下補助物質１０の外形状の一辺と接するように設けられている。 It is preferable that the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is enclosed in the enclosing part 1 without any gap from the viewpoint that water separation from the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be prevented. That is, it is preferable that the volume of the enclosing part 1 and the volume of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 are formed to be equal. In other words, the folding part E1, the seal part 3, the first side part 5, and the second side part 6 arranged around the enclosing part 1 are respectively outside the swallowing aid substance 10 encapsulated in the enclosing part 1. It is provided in contact with one side of the shape.
　シール部３と折り畳み部Ｅ１とは、連なる方向Ａにおいて、封入部１を挟んで対向するように設けられている。シール部３と重なり部Ｅ２とは、連なる方向Ａにおいて、流動部２を挟んで対向するように設けられている。シール部３は、第１側部５と第２側部６との間を垂直な方向Ｂに延びるように形成されている。 The seal part 3 and the folding part E1 are provided so as to face each other across the enclosing part 1 in the continuous direction A. The seal part 3 and the overlap part E2 are provided so as to face each other with the fluid part 2 in between in the continuous direction A. The seal portion 3 is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction B between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6.
　第１側部５と第２側部６とは、垂直な方向Ｂにおいて、封入部１、流動部２、およびシール部３を挟んで対向するように設けられている。 The first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 are provided in the vertical direction B so as to face each other with the enclosing portion 1, the fluid portion 2, and the seal portion 3 interposed therebetween.
　第１側部５および第２側部６は、連なる方向Ａに延びるように形成されている。第１側部５および第２側部６において、連なる方向Ａにおける一方の端部は折り畳み部Ｅ１であり、他方の端部は重なり部Ｅ２である。 The first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 are formed to extend in the continuous direction A. In the 1st side part 5 and the 2nd side part 6, one edge part in the continuous direction A is the folding part E1, and the other edge part is the overlap part E2.
　第１側部５および第２側部６は、垂直な方向Ｂにおいて、嚥下用容器１１の内側に位置し封入部１および流動部２に面する端部５ｃ，６ｃと嚥下用容器１１の外側に位置する端部５ｄ，６ｄとを有している。端部５ｃ，６ｃは、シール部３を挟んで連なる方向Ａに延びるように形成されており、封入部１や流動部２の側端部を構成している。端部５ｄ，６ｄは、嚥下用容器１１の外形端部を構成している。 The first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 are positioned inside the swallowing container 11 in the vertical direction B, and end portions 5c and 6c facing the enclosing portion 1 and the fluidizing portion 2 and the outside of the swallowing container 11. And end portions 5d and 6d. The end portions 5c and 6c are formed so as to extend in the continuous direction A across the seal portion 3, and constitute side end portions of the enclosing portion 1 and the fluidizing portion 2. The ends 5d and 6d constitute the outer end of the swallowing container 11.
　重なり部Ｅ２は、連なる方向Ａにおける嚥下用容器１１（言い換えると流動部２）の外形端部を構成しており、重なり部Ｅ２における第１側部５と第２側部６との間に位置する部分は、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における排出口を成している。重なり部Ｅ２における第１側部５と第２側部６との間に位置する部分は、シール部３よりも弱いシール強度で溶着されていてもよいが、好ましくは開放端である。 The overlapping part E2 constitutes the outer end of the swallowing container 11 (in other words, the flow part 2) in the continuous direction A, and is positioned between the first side part 5 and the second side part 6 in the overlapping part E2. The portion to be formed forms an outlet in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10. A portion located between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the overlapping portion E2 may be welded with a sealing strength weaker than that of the seal portion 3, but is preferably an open end.
　流動部２は、裁断部２Ａを有している。裁断部２Ａは、第１側部５および第２側部６のうち少なくとも一方が他方に向かって突出している凸部４によって構成されている。図１を参照して、凸部４は、たとえば第２側部６に形成されている。このとき、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路は、凸部４と、凸部４と垂直な方向Ｂにおいて対向する第１側部５との間に形成されている。裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２は、たとえば垂直な方向Ｂにおける凸部４と第１側部５との間隔であり、垂直な方向Ｂにおけるシール部３の幅Ｗ１、言い換えると流動部２との境界における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔よりも狭くなるように設けられている。凸部４は、任意の方法により形成されていればよいが、たとえば第１側部５や第２側部６と同様に重ね合わされたシート材２０Ａ，２０Ｂが溶着されることにより形成されている。 The fluid part 2 has a cutting part 2A. The cutting part 2A is constituted by a convex part 4 in which at least one of the first side part 5 and the second side part 6 protrudes toward the other side. With reference to FIG. 1, the convex part 4 is formed in the 2nd side part 6, for example. At this time, the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2 </ b> A is formed between the convex part 4 and the first side part 5 facing in the direction B perpendicular to the convex part 4. The width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2A is, for example, the interval between the convex part 4 and the first side part 5 in the vertical direction B, and in other words, the width W1 of the seal part 3 in the vertical direction B. Is provided so as to be narrower than the distance between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 at the boundary between the fluid portion 2 and the fluid portion 2. Although the convex part 4 should just be formed by arbitrary methods, it is formed by welding the sheet | seat materials 20A and 20B piled up similarly to the 1st side part 5 or the 2nd side part 6, for example. .
　裁断部２Ａは、裁断部２Ａの流出経路における幅Ｗ２がシール部３側に近づくほど大きくなるような傾斜４ａを有している。言い換えると、凸部４は、当該流出経路を挟んでシール部３と対向する端部がシール部３に対して傾斜角θを成すように形成されている。シール部３に対する凸部４の傾斜角θは、４５度以下であるのが好ましい。異なる観点から言えば、凸部４は、当該流出経路を挟んでシール部３と対向する端部が連なる方向Ａに対して傾斜するように形成されている。つまり、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２は、シール部３側から離れるにつれて徐々に狭くなるように設けられている。嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２は、シール部３に近い領域においてはシール部３の幅Ｗ１と同等程度であり、シール部３から離れていくにつれて幅Ｗ１よりも徐々に狭くなり、凸部４の頂部と当該頂部と垂直な方向Ｂにおいて対向する第１側部５との間において最も狭くなるように設けられている。 The cutting part 2A has an inclination 4a that increases as the width W2 in the outflow path of the cutting part 2A approaches the seal part 3 side. In other words, the convex portion 4 is formed such that an end portion facing the seal portion 3 across the outflow path forms an inclination angle θ with respect to the seal portion 3. The inclination angle θ of the convex portion 4 with respect to the seal portion 3 is preferably 45 degrees or less. If it says from a different viewpoint, the convex part 4 will be formed so that it may incline with respect to the direction A in which the edge part which opposes the seal part 3 continues across the said outflow path. That is, the width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2A is provided so as to gradually narrow as the distance from the seal part 3 side increases. The width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is about the same as the width W1 of the seal portion 3 in the region close to the seal portion 3, and gradually becomes narrower than the width W1 as the distance from the seal portion 3 increases. It is provided so as to be narrowest between the top portion of the portion 4 and the first side portion 5 facing in the direction B perpendicular to the top portion.
　シール部３のシール強度は、封入部１の周囲を封じている他の溶着部（第１側部５および第２側部６）のシール強度よりも弱い。シール部３のシール強度は、たとえば５０ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上３００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以下程度であり、好ましくは１００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上２００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以下程度である。第１側部５のシール強度および第２側部６のシール強度は、シール部３のシール強度よりも強く設けられており、たとえば５００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上程度であり、好ましくは６００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上程度である。また、凸部４のシール強度は、シール部３のシール強度よりも強く設けられており、たとえば５００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上程度であり、好ましくは６００ｇｆ／１５ｍｍ以上程度である。なお、シール強度は、ＪＩＳ　Ｚ　０２３８に記載の方法により測定可能である。 The seal strength of the seal portion 3 is weaker than the seal strength of the other welded portions (the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6) sealing the periphery of the enclosing portion 1. The seal strength of the seal portion 3 is, for example, about 50 gf / 15 mm to 300 gf / 15 mm, and preferably about 100 gf / 15 mm to 200 gf / 15 mm. The seal strength of the first side portion 5 and the seal strength of the second side portion 6 are provided to be stronger than the seal strength of the seal portion 3, for example, about 500 gf / 15 mm or more, preferably about 600 gf / 15 mm or more. is there. Moreover, the sealing strength of the convex part 4 is provided stronger than the sealing strength of the sealing part 3, for example, about 500 gf / 15 mm or more, and preferably about 600 gf / 15 mm or more. The seal strength can be measured by the method described in JIS Z 0238.
　図４を参照して、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００について説明する。嚥下用容器セット１００は、複数の嚥下用容器１１を有しており、複数の嚥下用容器１１が、シール部３が延在する方向Ｂにおいて互いに連結されている。嚥下用容器セット１００は、任意の数の嚥下用容器１１が連結して構成されていてもよいが、たとえば封入している嚥下補助物質１０の容量の異なる３種の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３がそれぞれ２つずつ接続されて構成されていてもよい。より具体的には、図４に示すように、たとえば複数の前記嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の各々の嚥下補助物質１０の封入量が、複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の配置の順に従って段階的に変化していてもよい。 Referring to FIG. 4, a swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 1 will be described. The swallowing container set 100 includes a plurality of swallowing containers 11, and the plurality of swallowing containers 11 are connected to each other in the direction B in which the seal portion 3 extends. The swallowing container set 100 may be configured by connecting any number of swallowing containers 11, for example, three kinds of swallowing containers 11, 12, 12 having different capacities of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 enclosed therein. 13 may be connected to two each. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in each of the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 is equal to the arrangement of the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, 13. You may change in steps according to order.
　嚥下用容器セット１００において、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３は、たとえば垂直な方向Ｂに互いに連結されている。嚥下用容器セット１００において、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３は、垂直な方向Ｂにおける両端に設けられている嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器１３を除き、隣り合う嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の一方の第１側部５と他方の第２側部６とがミシン目１４を介して互いに連結されている。 In the swallowing container set 100, the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 are connected to each other in, for example, a vertical direction B. In the swallowing container set 100, the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 are adjacent to the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 except for the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container 13 provided at both ends in the vertical direction B. The first side 5 and the other second side 6 are connected to each other through a perforation 14.
　嚥下用容器セット１００において、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３は、たとえばそれぞれの折り畳み部Ｅ１と重なり部Ｅ２とが垂直な方向Ｂにおいて平行に連なっている。また、嚥下用容器セット１００において、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３は、たとえばそれぞれのシール部３が垂直な方向Ｂに延びる同一線上に形成されている。つまり、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３は、いずれも折り畳み部Ｅ１からシール部３までの距離、すなわち連なる方向Ａにおける封入部１の幅が等しくなるように設けられている。 In the swallowing container set 100, the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 have, for example, their folded portions E <b> 1 and overlapping portions E <b> 2 connected in parallel in a vertical direction B. In the swallowing container set 100, the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 are formed on the same line, for example, in which the respective seal portions 3 extend in the vertical direction B. That is, the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 are all provided so that the distance from the folding part E1 to the seal part 3, that is, the width of the enclosing part 1 in the continuous direction A is equal.
　嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔は、それぞれ異なっていてもよい。たとえば、嚥下用容器１２における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔およびシール部３の幅Ｗ３は嚥下用容器１１における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔およびシール部３の幅Ｗ１よりも広く、嚥下用容器１３における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔およびシール部３の幅Ｗ４は嚥下用容器１２における第１側部５と第２側部６との間隔およびシール部３の幅Ｗ３よりも広くてもよい。このとき、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３における各第１側部５の垂直な方向Ｂにおける幅はそれぞれ等しくてもよく、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の各第２側部６の垂直な方向Ｂにおける幅はそれぞれ等しくてもよい。 The intervals between the first side part 5 and the second side part 6 in the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 may be different from each other. For example, the distance between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the swallowing container 12 and the width W3 of the seal portion 3 are the distance between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the swallowing container 11 and the seal. The width W1 of the swallowing container 13 is wider than the width W1 of the part 3, and the distance W4 between the first side part 5 and the second side part 6 and the width W4 of the seal part 3 are the first side part 5 and second side of the swallowing container 12. It may be wider than the distance to the portion 6 and the width W3 of the seal portion 3. At this time, the widths in the vertical direction B of the first side portions 5 of the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 may be equal to each other, and the widths of the second side portions 6 of the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 are vertical. The widths in the direction B may be equal to each other.
　嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２は、それぞれ等しくてもよい。上述のように、凸部４は第１側部５および第２側部６の少なくとも一方に形成されていればよいため、嚥下用容器１１において第２側部６のみに凸部４が形成されているときでも、嚥下用容器１２および嚥下用容器１３においては第１側部５および第２側部６にそれぞれ凸部４が形成されていてもよい。この場合、第１側部５に形成されている凸部４と第２側部６に形成されている凸部４とは、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路を挟んで対向するように設けられているのが好ましい。また、第１側部５に形成されている凸部４と第２側部６に形成されている凸部４とは、垂直な方向Ｂにおける長さが互いに等しく設けられているのが製造管理上好ましいが、これらの長さは等しくなくてもよい。 The width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting portions 2A of the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 may be equal to each other. As described above, since the convex portion 4 only needs to be formed on at least one of the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6, the convex portion 4 is formed only on the second side portion 6 in the swallowing container 11. Even when the swallowing container 12 and the swallowing container 13 are in contact, the convex portions 4 may be formed on the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6, respectively. In this case, the convex portion 4 formed on the first side portion 5 and the convex portion 4 formed on the second side portion 6 are provided so as to face each other across the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10. It is preferable. In addition, the convex portion 4 formed on the first side portion 5 and the convex portion 4 formed on the second side portion 6 are provided with the same length in the vertical direction B. Although preferred, these lengths need not be equal.
　なお、封入部１は、シール部３を含む限りにおいて、嚥下補助物質１０を密封している他の部分（第１側部５および第２側部６など）は溶着に限られず、任意の方法により形成されていてもよい。 In addition, as long as the enclosure part 1 includes the seal part 3, the other parts (such as the first side part 5 and the second side part 6) that seal the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 are not limited to welding, and any method can be used. May be formed.
　なお、裁断部２Ａとシール部３との間や裁断部２Ａと端部Ｅ２との間には、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ２よりも幅広な領域が形成されていてもよい。 A region wider than the width W2 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2A is formed between the cutting part 2A and the seal part 3 or between the cutting part 2A and the end E2. Also good.
　次に、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１の使用方法について説明する。
　まず、図１に示すように、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１が準備される。次に、封入部１に対して外部からたとえば指などにより荷重Ｆを加えることにより、封入部１に封入されている嚥下補助物質１０がシール部３に向かって押圧される。嚥下補助物質１０を介してシール部３に加えられた力がシール部３のシール強度を超えると、シール部３が破壊され、封入部１が開封される。その後、引き続き、外部からシート材２０を介して嚥下補助物質１０に対して荷重Ｆが加えられることにより、嚥下補助物質１０は、第１側部５と第２側部６との間とから絞り出され、流動部２に形成されている流出経路の内部に勢いよく流出する。このとき、流動部２には嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅Ｗ１がシール部３の幅Ｗ２よりも狭い裁断部２Ａが設けられているため、嚥下補助物質１０は、裁断部２Ａを通過することにより裁断されて粒状になる。つまり、封入部１の外部であって、かつ流動部２の内部において、嚥下補助物質１０は細かく裁断される。さらに、外部から封入部１を介して嚥下補助物質１０に対し荷重Ｆが加えられることにより、封入部１に残っている嚥下補助物質１０が流動部２に絞り出され、裁断部２Ａを通過することにより裁断された嚥下補助物質１０は重なり部Ｅ２を通って嚥下用容器１１から取り出され、そのまま嚥下困難者などに服用される。このように、嚥下困難者は、嚥下用容器１１を使用することにより、嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下しやすい状態として取り出しそのまま服用することができる。なお、嚥下困難者に限らず、一般の人が食用や薬剤服用用として嚥下用容器１１を使用してもよいことは勿論である。 Next, a method for using the swallowing container 11 according to Embodiment 1 will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 1, a swallowing container 11 according to Embodiment 1 is prepared. Next, by applying a load F to the enclosing part 1 from the outside, for example, with a finger or the like, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 encapsulated in the enclosing part 1 is pressed toward the seal part 3. When the force applied to the seal part 3 via the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 exceeds the seal strength of the seal part 3, the seal part 3 is destroyed and the enclosing part 1 is opened. Thereafter, the load F is continuously applied to the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 through the sheet material 20 from the outside, so that the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is squeezed from between the first side part 5 and the second side part 6. And flows out vigorously into the outflow path formed in the flow section 2. At this time, since the flow part 2 is provided with the cutting part 2A in which the width W1 of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is narrower than the width W2 of the seal part 3, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 passes through the cutting part 2A. It is cut by this and becomes granular. That is, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is finely cut outside the enclosing part 1 and inside the fluid part 2. Furthermore, when a load F is applied to the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 from the outside via the enclosing part 1, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 remaining in the enclosing part 1 is squeezed out to the flow part 2 and passes through the cutting part 2A. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 thus cut out is taken out from the swallowing container 11 through the overlapping portion E2, and is directly taken by a person with difficulty in swallowing. Thus, the person with difficulty in swallowing can use the swallowing container 11 to take out the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 as a state in which it is easy to swallow and take it as it is. Of course, not only those who have difficulty swallowing but also ordinary people may use the swallowing container 11 for food and medicine.
　次に、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の使用方法について説明する。
　まず、図４に示すように、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００が、その使用目的に応じて準備される。嚥下用容器セット１００は、たとえば嚥下訓練を使用目的とする場合には、嚥下補助物質１０の封入量が配置順に従って段階的に変化している複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３を有していてもよい。この場合、嚥下訓練の進行度に応じて服用する量を決定し、その量の嚥下補助物質１０を封入しているいずれかの嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３を、ミシン目１４を境に隣り合う嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３から切り離すことにより、嚥下用容器セット１００から取り出す。その後、上述した嚥下用容器１１の使用方法と同様の方法で使用されることにより、たとえば嚥下訓練を受けている者は、所定量の嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下しやすい状態として取り出し、そのまま服用することができる。 Next, a method for using the swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 1 will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment is prepared according to the purpose of use. The swallowing container set 100 includes a plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 in which the amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is changed stepwise in accordance with the arrangement order when, for example, swallowing training is used. It may be. In this case, the amount to be taken is determined according to the degree of progress of the swallowing training, and any of the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 enclosing that amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is adjacent to the perforation 14. It is taken out from the swallowing container set 100 by separating it from the matching swallowing containers 11, 12, 13. Thereafter, by using the swallowing container 11 in the same manner as described above, a person who has undergone swallowing training, for example, takes out a predetermined amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in a state where it is easy to swallow and takes it as it is. be able to.
　次に、図５～図１０を参照して、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００および嚥下用容器１１の製造方法について説明する。なお、図１０では、後述する一対のシールロール２５，２６および一対の回転刃２７，２８の各々について、一方のみを図示し他方を図示していない。 Next, a method for manufacturing the swallowing container set 100 and the swallowing container 11 according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 10, only one of the pair of seal rolls 25 and 26 and the pair of rotary blades 27 and 28 to be described later is illustrated, and the other is not illustrated.
　まず、図５、図６および図１０を参照して、第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとを長手方向に沿って接合することにより、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂから筒状体部１５Ｃを形成する（工程（Ｓ１０））。 First, referring to FIGS. 5, 6, and 10, by joining the first sheet material 20 </ b> A and the second sheet material 20 </ b> B along the longitudinal direction, from the first sheet material 20 </ b> A and the second sheet material 20 </ b> B. A cylindrical body portion 15C is formed (step (S10)).
　第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとは、長手方向と短手方向とを有する一枚のシートとして設けられている。このとき、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの長手方向が、嚥下用容器セット１００における嚥下用容器１１の封入部１と流動部２とが連なる方向Ａに垂直な方向Ｂ、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの短手方向が、連なる方向Ａとなるように、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂが準備される。 The first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are provided as a single sheet having a longitudinal direction and a short direction. At this time, the longitudinal directions of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are the direction B perpendicular to the direction A in which the enclosing portion 1 and the fluid portion 2 of the swallowing container 11 in the swallowing container set 100 are continuous, the first The first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are prepared so that the short direction of the sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B is the continuous direction A.
　準備された第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとは、ガイドロール２１によりｖ字状のガイド部材２２の外形に沿うように導かれ、折り畳み部Ｅ１が長手方向に延びるように、短手方向における端部Ｅ３同士が重なり合うように折り畳まれる。第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂは、折り畳まれながら鉛直方向の上方から下方に、その長手方向が上方から下方に延びるように送られる。 The prepared first sheet material 20A and second sheet material 20B are guided by the guide roll 21 along the outer shape of the v-shaped guide member 22, and are short so that the folding portion E1 extends in the longitudinal direction. The ends E3 in the direction are folded so as to overlap each other. The first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are fed so that the longitudinal direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B extends from the upper side to the lower side while being folded.
　折り畳まれた第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとは、一対のシールロール２３の間に供給されることにより、たとえば短手方向に間隔を隔てた２箇所で熱溶着される。短手方向において、端部Ｅ３側に位置する熱溶着部１５Ａと、折り畳み部Ｅ１側に位置する熱溶着部１５Ｂとは、ともに長手方向に延びるように形成される。熱溶着部１５Ｂと折り畳み部Ｅ１とは、短手方向において間隔を隔てて設けられているとともに、長手方向において平行に設けられている。これにより、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂは、熱溶着部１５Ｂが形成されることにより、熱溶着部１５Ｂと折り畳み部Ｅ１とに挟まれている領域（熱溶着部１５Ｂの一方側に位置する領域）において長手方向に延びる軸を有する筒状体部１５Ｃを形成し得る。なお、熱溶着部１５Ｂは、最終的にその一部が嚥下用容器１１におけるシール部３となる部分である。 The folded first sheet material 20A and second sheet material 20B are heat-welded at, for example, two positions spaced apart in the short direction by being supplied between the pair of seal rolls 23. In the short-side direction, the heat-welded portion 15A located on the end portion E3 side and the heat-welded portion 15B located on the folding portion E1 side are both formed to extend in the longitudinal direction. The heat-welded portion 15B and the folded portion E1 are provided at a distance in the short-side direction and are provided in parallel in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B have a region (one side of the heat welding portion 15B) sandwiched between the heat welding portion 15B and the folding portion E1 by forming the heat welding portion 15B. The cylindrical body portion 15 </ b> C having an axis extending in the longitudinal direction can be formed in the region located at (). In addition, the heat welding part 15B is a part where the part finally becomes the seal part 3 in the container 11 for swallowing.
　また、筒状体部１５Ｃが形成されるのと同時に、熱溶着部１５Ａと熱溶着部１５Ｂとに挟まれている領域（熱溶着部１５Ｂの他方側に位置する領域）において、長手方向に延びる軸を有するシート重ね部（筒状体部）１５Ｄを形成し得る。 Further, at the same time as the cylindrical body portion 15C is formed, it extends in the longitudinal direction in a region sandwiched between the heat welded portion 15A and the heat welded portion 15B (a region located on the other side of the heat welded portion 15B). A sheet overlap portion (cylindrical body portion) 15D having an axis can be formed.
　第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとは、一対のシールロール２３に挟持されて筒状体部１５Ｃ，１５Ｄが形成されながら、下方へ送られる。 The first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are fed downward while being sandwiched between the pair of seal rolls 23 to form the cylindrical body portions 15C and 15D.
　熱溶着部１５Ｂは、後の工程（Ｓ２０）や工程（Ｓ３０）において形成される第１接合部１６や第２接合部１７よりも、シール強度が弱くなるように設けられている。なお、熱溶着部１５Ａは、熱溶着部１５Ｂと同等程度のシール強度として設けられる。 The heat welding part 15B is provided so that the sealing strength is weaker than that of the first joint part 16 and the second joint part 17 formed in the subsequent step (S20) and step (S30). In addition, 15 A of heat welding parts are provided as seal strength comparable as the heat welding part 15B.
　次に、図７および図１０を参照して、筒状体部１５Ｃ，１５Ｄに、長手方向に交差する方向に延びる第１接合部１６を形成する（工程（Ｓ２０））。 Next, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the first joint portion 16 extending in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction is formed in the cylindrical body portions 15C and 15D (step (S20)).
　筒状体部１５Ｃおよび筒状体部１５Ｄは、下方へ送られて一対のシールロール２５の間に挟持される。このとき、一対のシールロール２５に設けられている圧接部間において熱溶着されることにより、筒状体部１５Ｃおよび筒状体部１５Ｄに第１接合部１６が形成される。第１接合部１６は、筒状体部１５Ｃおよび筒状体部１５Ｄの延在方向（第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの長手方向）における一方の側（下方側）を封止して分断する。つまり、筒状体部１５Ｃおよび筒状体部１５Ｄは、下方側が第１接合部１６により封止されているとともに上方側が開放されている袋状体１６Ｃおよび袋状体１６Ｄとなる。 The cylindrical body portion 15 </ b> C and the cylindrical body portion 15 </ b> D are sent downward and sandwiched between the pair of seal rolls 25. At this time, the first joint portion 16 is formed in the cylindrical body portion 15C and the cylindrical body portion 15D by being thermally welded between the press contact portions provided in the pair of seal rolls 25. The first joint portion 16 seals one side (lower side) in the extending direction of the cylindrical body portion 15C and the cylindrical body portion 15D (longitudinal direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B). Break up. That is, the cylindrical body portion 15C and the cylindrical body portion 15D become a bag-like body 16C and a bag-like body 16D that are sealed on the lower side by the first joint portion 16 and open on the upper side.
　次に、袋状体１６Ｃに、嚥下補助物質が供給される。嚥下補助物質１０は、たとえば上方から下方に送られている袋状体１６Ｃに対し、ガイド部材２３の間を通って下方に延びる注入部材（ノズル）２４から供給される。このときの袋状体１６Ｃへの嚥下補助物質１０の供給量は、各嚥下用容器の封入量と等しい。 Next, the swallowing auxiliary substance is supplied to the bag-like body 16C. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is supplied from an injection member (nozzle) 24 that extends downward between the guide members 23 to, for example, the bag-like body 16C that is sent downward from above. The supply amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 to the bag-like body 16C at this time is equal to the enclosed amount of each swallowing container.
　袋状体１６Ｃに所定量の嚥下補助物質が供給された後、袋状体１６Ｃおよび袋状体１６Ｄの上方側が先の一対のシールロール２５の間に供給されて、圧接部間において熱溶着されることにより、袋状体１６Ｃおよび袋状体１６Ｄに第１接合部１６が形成される。第１接合部１６は、袋状体１６Ｃおよび袋状体１６Ｄの下方側に形成されている第１接合部１６と間隔を隔てた上方側に位置する部分に形成される。つまり、袋状体１６Ｃは、上方側および下方側が第１接合部１６に、側方が熱溶着部１５Ｂおよび折り畳み部Ｅ１により封止され、その内部に嚥下補助物質１０が密封されている分包体部１６Ｅとなる。また、嚥下補助物質１０が供給されない袋状体１６Ｄは、上方側および下方側が第１接合部１６に、側方が熱溶着部１５Ｂおよび折り畳み部Ｅ１により封止されている中空体部１６Ｆとなる。 After a predetermined amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance is supplied to the bag-like body 16C, the upper side of the bag-like body 16C and the bag-like body 16D is supplied between the pair of seal rolls 25 and is thermally welded between the press contact portions. Thereby, the 1st junction part 16 is formed in the bag-like body 16C and the bag-like body 16D. The 1st junction part 16 is formed in the part located in the upper side spaced apart from the 1st junction part 16 currently formed in the lower side of bag-like body 16C and bag-like body 16D. In other words, the bag-like body 16C is packaged in which the upper side and the lower side are sealed by the first joint part 16, the side is sealed by the heat welding part 15B and the folding part E1, and the swallowing aid substance 10 is sealed inside. It becomes the body part 16E. Further, the bag-like body 16D to which the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is not supplied becomes a hollow body portion 16F in which the upper side and the lower side are sealed by the first joint portion 16 and the side is sealed by the heat welding portion 15B and the folding portion E1. .
　一対のシールロール２５には、その周方向において所定の間隔を空けて複数の圧接部が形成されている。各圧接部は、たとえば等しく構成されており、第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとの短手方向において、折り畳み部Ｅ１から重なり部Ｅ３までの全体と重なるとともに、長手方向において所定の幅Ｗ５を有する第１接合部１６を形成可能に設けられている。また、各圧接部は、第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとの長手方向において所定の間隔Ｗ６，Ｗ７，Ｗ８を隔てて第１接合部１６を形成可能に設けられている。この場合、シート材２０上に複数形成される第１接合部１６の各々は、いずれも面積やシート材２０の短手方向における位置は等しく、シート材２０の長手方向における間隔のみ異なっている。 A plurality of press contact portions are formed in the pair of seal rolls 25 at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. Each press-contact portion is configured, for example, equally, and overlaps the whole from the folded portion E1 to the overlapping portion E3 in the short direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B, and has a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction. It is provided so that the 1st junction part 16 which has W5 can be formed. In addition, each press-contact portion is provided so that the first joint portion 16 can be formed with predetermined intervals W6, W7, and W8 in the longitudinal direction between the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B. In this case, each of the plurality of first joining portions 16 formed on the sheet material 20 has the same area and the same position in the short direction of the sheet material 20, and differs only in the interval in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 20.
　第１接合部１６は、たとえば熱溶着部１５Ｂに対して垂直な方向に延びるように形成される。第１接合部１６の幅Ｗ５は、嚥下用容器１１における第１側部５および第２側部６の垂直な方向Ｂにおける幅よりも狭くなるように設けられている。言い換えると、本工程（Ｓ２０）において形成される分包体部１６Ｅの容積は、最終的に製造される嚥下用容器１１の封入部１の容積よりも大きい。なお、第１接合部１６は、本製造方法により得られる嚥下用容器１１の第１側部５または第２側部６の少なくともいずれか一方に含まれるように形成されていればよい。 The 1st junction part 16 is formed, for example so that it may extend in the direction perpendicular | vertical with respect to the heat welding part 15B. The width W <b> 5 of the first joint portion 16 is provided to be narrower than the width in the vertical direction B of the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the swallowing container 11. In other words, the volume of the packaging body portion 16E formed in this step (S20) is larger than the volume of the enclosing portion 1 of the swallowing container 11 that is finally manufactured. In addition, the 1st junction part 16 should just be formed so that it may be contained in at least any one of the 1st side part 5 or the 2nd side part 6 of the container 11 for swallowing obtained by this manufacturing method.
　次に、図８および図１０を参照して、筒状体部１５Ｃ，１５Ｄ（具体的には筒状体部１５Ｃ，１５Ｄが複数に分断された分包体部１６Ｅおよび中空体部１６Ｆ）に、第１接合部１６に重なり、かつ、第１接合部１６より幅が広い第２接合部１７を形成する（工程（Ｓ３０））。 Next, with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the cylindrical body portions 15C and 15D (specifically, the packaging body portion 16E and the hollow body portion 16F in which the cylindrical body portions 15C and 15D are divided into a plurality of portions) are formed. Then, the second joint portion 17 is formed which overlaps the first joint portion 16 and is wider than the first joint portion 16 (step (S30)).
　嚥下補助物質１０が密封された分包体部１６Ｅと、分包体部１６Ｅと短手方向に連なる中空体部１６Ｆとは、下方に送られて一対のシールロール２６の間に挟持される。このとき、一対のシールロール２６に設けられている圧接部間において熱溶着されることにより、分包体部１６Ｅおよび中空体部１６Ｆに第２接合部１７が形成される。第２接合部１７は、第１接合部１６に重なり、かつ、第１接合部１６より幅広に形成される。言い換えると、第２接合部１７は、長手方向において隣り合う分包体部１６Ｅ間、および中空体部１６Ｆ間に跨って形成される。たとえば第１接合部１６間が間隔Ｗ６を隔てて形成されている分包体部１６Ｅ上には、間隔Ｗ６よりも狭い間隔Ｗ１を隔てて第２接合部１７が形成される。 The packaging body portion 16E in which the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is sealed and the hollow body portion 16F connected to the packaging body portion 16E in the short-side direction are sent downward and sandwiched between the pair of seal rolls 26. At this time, the second joint portion 17 is formed in the packaging body portion 16E and the hollow body portion 16F by being thermally welded between the pressure contact portions provided in the pair of seal rolls 26. The second joint 17 overlaps the first joint 16 and is formed wider than the first joint 16. In other words, the 2nd junction part 17 is formed ranging between the packaging body parts 16E adjacent in the longitudinal direction, and between the hollow body parts 16F. For example, the second joint portion 17 is formed at a spacing W1 narrower than the spacing W6 on the packaging body portion 16E in which the first joint portions 16 are formed at a spacing W6.
　これにより、分包体部１６Ｅは、シート材２０の長手方向における両端部が第２接合部１７に、短手方向における両端部が熱溶着部１５Ｂおよび折り畳み部Ｅ１により封止されている封入体部１７Ｃとなる。また、長手方向に延びるように形成されていた熱溶着部１５Ｂは、よりシール強度の高い第２接合部１７が熱溶着部１５Ｂの一部と重なるように形成されることにより、第２接合部１７が重なるように形成されていない領域、すなわち第２接合部１７間に形成されている部分のみが熱溶着部１５Ｂとして残され、シール部３を構成する。 Thereby, the packaging body part 16E is a sealed body in which both end parts in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 20 are sealed by the second joint part 17, and both end parts in the lateral direction are sealed by the heat welding part 15B and the folding part E1. Part 17C. Further, the heat-welded portion 15B formed to extend in the longitudinal direction is formed so that the second joint portion 17 having higher sealing strength overlaps with a part of the heat-welded portion 15B, thereby the second joint portion. Only a region not formed so as to overlap 17, that is, a portion formed between the second joint portions 17 is left as the heat welding portion 15 </ b> B, and constitutes the seal portion 3.
　また、中空体部１６Ｆは、シート材２０の長手方向における両端部が第２接合部１７に、短手方向における両端部が熱溶着部１５Ａおよび熱溶着部１５Ｂにより封止されている中空体部１７Ｄとなる。 Further, the hollow body portion 16F is a hollow body portion in which both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 20 are sealed by the second joint portion 17 and both end portions in the short-side direction are sealed by the heat welding portion 15A and the heat welding portion 15B. 17D.
　さらに、本工程（Ｓ３０）では、中空体部１７Ｄ（シート重ね部）における第２接合部１７の部分が、封入部１７Ｃ（筒状体部）における第２接合部の部分よりシート材２０の長手方向に突き出すように形成される。言い換えると、当該長手方向において対向するように形成された隣り合う第２接合部１７のうち、少なくともいずれか一方から他方に向かって突き出すように凸部４が形成される。これにより、中空体部１７Ｄ（シート重ね部）における第２接合部１７間の幅Ｗ２（図８参照）、すなわち、長手方向において互いに対向する凸部４と他の部分１７Ａとの間隔または裁断用凸部４同士の間隔は、長手方向におけるシール部３の幅Ｗ１，Ｗ３，Ｗ４と比べて狭く設けられる。 Furthermore, in this step (S30), the portion of the second joint portion 17 in the hollow body portion 17D (sheet overlap portion) is longer than the portion of the second joint portion in the enclosing portion 17C (cylindrical body portion). It is formed so as to protrude in the direction. In other words, the convex portion 4 is formed so as to protrude from at least one of the adjacent second joint portions 17 formed so as to face each other in the longitudinal direction toward the other. Accordingly, the width W2 (see FIG. 8) between the second joint portions 17 in the hollow body portion 17D (sheet overlap portion), that is, the interval between the convex portion 4 and the other portion 17A facing each other in the longitudinal direction or for cutting. The interval between the convex portions 4 is narrower than the widths W1, W3, W4 of the seal portion 3 in the longitudinal direction.
　次に、図９および図１０を参照して、第２接合部１７上にミシン目１４を形成する（工程（Ｓ４０））。封入体部１７Ｃと、封入体部１７Ｃと短手方向に連なる中空体１７Ｄとは、下方に送られてミシン針が設けられた一対の回転刃２７の間に挟持される。このとき、一対の回転刃２７に設けられているミシン針によって第２接合部１７上にミシン目１４が形成される。 Next, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the perforation 14 is formed on the 2nd junction part 17 (process (S40)). The enclosure body part 17C and the hollow body 17D connected to the enclosure body part 17C in the short direction are sandwiched between a pair of rotary blades 27 which are sent downward and provided with a sewing needle. At this time, the perforation 14 is formed on the second joint portion 17 by the sewing needles provided on the pair of rotary blades 27.
　次に、図９および図１０を参照して、第２接合部１７上にカット部１８を形成する（工程（Ｓ５０））。封入体部１７Ｃと、封入体部１７Ｃと短手方向に連なる中空体１７Ｄとは、下方に送られて一対の回転刃２８の間に挟持される。このとき、回転刃２８によって、第２接合部１７上に折り畳み部Ｅ１から短手方向に延びるカット部１８が形成されるとともに、熱溶着部１５Ａとシール部３との間に長手方向に延びるカット部１８が形成される。なお、先の工程（Ｓ４０）において、ミシン目１４は、第２接合部１７上において、カット部１８に囲まれる領域内にのみ形成されていればよい。カット部１８および折り畳み部Ｅ１は、嚥下用容器セット１００の外形を構成する。 Next, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the cut part 18 is formed on the 2nd junction part 17 (process (S50)). The enclosing body portion 17C and the enclosing body portion 17C and the hollow body 17D connected in the short direction are sent downward and are sandwiched between the pair of rotary blades 28. At this time, the rotary blade 28 forms a cut portion 18 extending in the short direction from the folded portion E1 on the second joint portion 17, and a cut extending in the longitudinal direction between the heat welding portion 15A and the seal portion 3. Part 18 is formed. In the previous step (S <b> 40), the perforations 14 need only be formed in the region surrounded by the cut portion 18 on the second joint portion 17. The cut part 18 and the folding part E1 constitute the outer shape of the container set 100 for swallowing.
　これにより、図４に示すように、嚥下補助物質の封入量が異なる複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３が形成されている嚥下用容器セット１００が製造される。封入体部１７Ｃは封入部１となり、中空体部１７Ｄは流動部２となる。以上のように、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の製造方法は、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの短手方向を嚥下用容器セット１００における嚥下用容器１１の封入部１と流動部２とが連なる方向Ａとして、長手方向を垂直な方向Ｂとして、実施される。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, a swallowing container set 100 in which a plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 with different amounts of swallowing auxiliary substances are formed is manufactured. The enclosure part 17C becomes the enclosure part 1, and the hollow part 17D becomes the fluid part 2. As described above, the method for manufacturing the swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 1 includes the enclosing portion of the swallowing container 11 in the swallowing container set 100 in the short direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B. As the direction A in which 1 and the fluid part 2 are continuous, the longitudinal direction is set as the vertical direction B.
　嚥下用容器１１は、このようにして得られた嚥下用容器セット１００を用いて、ミシン目１４に沿って嚥下用容器セット１００に含まれている複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３を互いに分離することにより、製造され得る。 The swallowing container 11 uses the swallowing container set 100 obtained as described above to connect the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 included in the swallowing container set 100 along the perforation 14 to each other. It can be manufactured by separating.
　なお、図１１を参照して、凸部４は、当該流出経路を挟んでシール部３と対向する端部がシール部３と平行に延びるように形成されていてもよい。つまり、凸部４は、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における幅Ｗ２がシール部３の幅Ｗ１よりも狭い一定の幅となるように設けられていてもよい。異なる観点から言えば、凸部４は、当該流出経路を挟んでシール部３と対向する端部が垂直な方向Ｂに延びるように形成されていてもよい。このようにしても、流動部２は、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における幅Ｗ２がシール部３の幅Ｗ１よりも狭くなっている裁断部２Ａを有している。そのため、このような嚥下用容器１１によれば、嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。 In addition, with reference to FIG. 11, the convex part 4 may be formed so that the edge part which opposes the seal part 3 across the said outflow path may extend in parallel with the seal part 3. FIG. That is, the convex part 4 may be provided so that the width W2 in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2A is a constant width narrower than the width W1 of the seal part 3. If it says from a different viewpoint, the convex part 4 may be formed so that the edge part which opposes the seal part 3 across the said outflow path may extend in the perpendicular direction B. Even in this way, the flow part 2 has the cutting part 2 </ b> A in which the width W <b> 2 in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is narrower than the width W <b> 1 of the seal part 3. Therefore, according to such a container 11 for swallowing, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be taken out in a state that can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing.
　次に、図１０を参照して、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器の製造装置２００について説明する。 Next, a swallowing container manufacturing apparatus 200 according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
　嚥下用容器の製造装置２００は、シート材２０の長手方向に沿ってシート材２０を供給する供給部材（ガイドロール２１）と、長手方向に沿ってシート材２０同士を接合する第１接合部材（シールロール２３）と、シート材２０がシールロール２３によって接合されることにより得られる筒状体部１５Ｃに嚥下補助物質１０（図１参照）を注入する注入部材２４と、長手方向に交差する方向（短手方向）に沿ってシート材２０同士を接合する第２接合部材（シールロール２５）と、短手方向に沿ってシート材２０同士を接合する第３接合部材（シールロール２６）とを備える。 The swallowing container manufacturing apparatus 200 includes a supply member (guide roll 21) that supplies the sheet material 20 along the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 20 and a first joining member that joins the sheet materials 20 along the longitudinal direction ( A seal roll 23), an injection member 24 for injecting the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 (see FIG. 1) into the cylindrical body portion 15C obtained by joining the sheet material 20 with the seal roll 23, and a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction A second joining member (seal roll 25) that joins the sheet materials 20 along the short direction and a third joining member (seal roll 26) that joins the sheet materials 20 along the short direction. Prepare.
　製造装置２００は、一枚のシート材２０から嚥下用容器セット１００を製造するための製造装置である。そのため、製造装置２００は、ガイドロール２１とシールロール２３との間に、ｖ字状のガイド部材２２をさらに備えている。 The manufacturing apparatus 200 is a manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the swallowing container set 100 from one sheet material 20. Therefore, the manufacturing apparatus 200 further includes a v-shaped guide member 22 between the guide roll 21 and the seal roll 23.
　また、製造装置２００は、シールロール２５により形成された袋状体１６Ｃに嚥下補助物質１０を注入するための注入部材（ノズル）２４をさらに備えている。注入部材２４は、たとえばガイド部材２２に挟まれている領域を上方から下方に延びるように形成されている。 The manufacturing apparatus 200 further includes an injection member (nozzle) 24 for injecting the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 into the bag-like body 16C formed by the seal roll 25. The injection member 24 is formed, for example, so as to extend from above to below in a region sandwiched between the guide members 22.
　シールロール２３は、その全周に渡って圧接部が設けられている。シールロール２５およびシールロール２６は、周方向において所定の間隔を空けて複数の圧接部が設けられている。シールロール２５の複数の圧接部は、いずれも等しい表面積を有している。シールロール２６の複数の圧接部は、たとえば３段階に異なる表面積を有していてもよい。シールロール２６は、長手方向においてシールロール２５よりも広い領域を接合可能に設けられている。言い換えると、シールロール２６の複数の圧接部の表面積は、いずれもシールロール２５の圧接部の表面積よりも大きく設けられている。 The seal roll 23 is provided with a press contact part over the entire circumference. The seal roll 25 and the seal roll 26 are provided with a plurality of press contact portions at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. The plurality of press contact portions of the seal roll 25 all have the same surface area. The plurality of press contact portions of the seal roll 26 may have different surface areas, for example, in three stages. The seal roll 26 is provided so that a region wider than the seal roll 25 in the longitudinal direction can be joined. In other words, the surface areas of the plurality of press contact portions of the seal roll 26 are all set larger than the surface area of the press contact portion of the seal roll 25.
　製造装置２００は、たとえばシート材２０を上方から下方に送りながら嚥下用容器セット１００を製造可能に構成されている。
（実施の形態２）
　次に、図１２を参照して、実施の形態２に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００について説明する。 The manufacturing apparatus 200 is configured to be able to manufacture the swallowing container set 100 while feeding the sheet material 20 downward from above, for example.
(Embodiment 2)
Next, a swallowing container 11 and a swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
　実施の形態２に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様の構成を備えるが、封入部１において、第１側部５および第２側部６の少なくともいずれか一方には切込部３０が形成されている点で異なる。 The swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the second embodiment basically have the same configuration as the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment. The difference is that at least one of the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 is provided with a cut portion 30.
　図１２を参照して、切込部３０は、第１側部５と第２側部６との間を横断する破断部（一点鎖線）を封入部１に形成可能に設けられている。たとえば、切込部３０は、第１側部５上を嚥下用容器１１の外形端部５ｄから、または第２側部６上を外形端部６ｄから、それぞれ連なる方向Ａに交差する方向（たとえば垂直な方向Ｂ）に延びるように形成されている。あるいは、切込部３０は、第１側部５および第２側部６上を、ミシン目１４を跨いで連なる方向Ａに交差する方向（たとえば垂直な方向Ｂ）に連なるように形成されている。 Referring to FIG. 12, the cut portion 30 is provided in the enclosing portion 1 so as to be able to form a fracture portion (dashed line) that crosses between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6. For example, the incision part 30 intersects the continuous direction A (for example, from the outer edge part 5d of the container 11 for swallowing on the first side part 5 or from the outer edge part 6d on the second side part 6 (for example, It is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction B). Alternatively, the cut portion 30 is formed on the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 so as to be continuous in a direction (for example, a vertical direction B) intersecting the direction A that extends across the perforation 14. .
　切込部３０は、連なる方向Ａにおいて任意の場所に形成されていればよく、図１２に示すようにたとえばシール部３に近接する位置に形成されていてもよいし、図１３に示すようにたとえば折り畳み部Ｅ１に近接する位置に形成されていてもよい。 The cut portion 30 only needs to be formed at an arbitrary place in the continuous direction A, and may be formed at a position close to the seal portion 3 as shown in FIG. 12, for example, as shown in FIG. For example, you may form in the position close | similar to the folding part E1.
　これにより、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３には切込部３０から第１側部５と第２側部６との間を横断する破断部が形成され得るため、封入部１は当該破断部により流動部２およびシール部３と一体である一方の切断領域Ｃとそれ以外の他方の切断領域Ｄとに二分される。図１２に示すように切込部３０がシール部３に近い位置に形成されている場合には、上記二分されている状態において、嚥下補助物質１０は当該他方の切断領域Ｄに開封された状態で収容されていることになる。このとき、流動部２を含む一方の切断領域は他方の切断領域と離れているため、嚥下補助物質１０を裁断することなく、嚥下用容器１１（他方の切断領域）から取り出すことができる。また、図１３に示すように切込部３０が折り畳み部Ｅ１に近接する位置に形成されている場合には、上記二分されている状態において、嚥下補助物質１０はシール部３を含む一方の切断領域Ｃに開封された状態で収容されていることになる。そのため、嚥下補助物質１０を裁断することなく、嚥下用容器１１（一方の切断領域）から取り出すことができる。 Thereby, in the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13, a rupture portion that crosses between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 from the cut portion 30 can be formed. Thus, the cutting portion C is divided into one cutting region C integrated with the fluid portion 2 and the seal portion 3 and the other cutting region D. As shown in FIG. 12, when the cut portion 30 is formed at a position close to the seal portion 3, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is opened in the other cutting region D in the above-described divided state. It will be housed in. At this time, since one cutting region including the flow part 2 is separated from the other cutting region, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be taken out from the swallowing container 11 (the other cutting region) without cutting. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, when the incision portion 30 is formed at a position close to the folding portion E <b> 1, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is one of the cuts including the seal portion 3 in the above-described divided state. It is accommodated in the state opened in the area C. Therefore, the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be taken out from the swallowing container 11 (one cutting region) without cutting.
　切込部３０は、たとえば第２接合部１７上にミシン目１４と、カット部１８を形成する工程（Ｓ４０）において形成される。 The cut part 30 is formed in the process (S40) which forms the perforation 14 and the cut part 18 on the 2nd junction part 17, for example.
　なお、実施の形態２に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００は、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様に流動部２を通して裁断された嚥下補助物質１０を取り出すことができる。
（実施の形態３）
　次に、図１４を参照して、実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００について説明する。 The swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the second embodiment are similar to the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13, and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 cut through can be taken out.
(Embodiment 3)
Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 3 will be described.
　実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様の構成を備えるが、連なる方向Ａにおいてシール部３を挟んで対向する保持部３１，３２が形成されている点で異なる。 The swallowing container 11 and swallowing container set 100 according to the third embodiment basically have the same configuration as the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment, but in the continuous direction A. The difference is that the holding portions 31 and 32 that face each other with the seal portion 3 interposed therebetween are formed.
　保持部３１および保持部３２は、嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３や嚥下用容器セット１００が保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態で、互いの相対的な位置を保持可能に設けられている。このとき、保持部３１および保持部３２は、保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態において形成される折り返し部が封入部１内に位置するように形成されているのが好ましい。つまり、保持部３１および保持部３２は、当該折り返し部がシール部３上または封入部１と重なるように形成されている。また、保持部３１と保持部３２との間に働く保持力は、たとえば保管時において封入部１に外部から加えられ得る圧力であって、シール部３のシール強度以上の圧力を封入部１が受けた場合にも、保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態を保持可能とする程度であればよい。 The holding part 31 and the holding part 32 can hold the relative positions of the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 folded between the holding part 31 and the holding part 32. Is provided. At this time, it is preferable that the holding part 31 and the holding part 32 are formed so that the folded part formed in the folded state between the holding part 31 and the holding part 32 is located in the enclosing part 1. . That is, the holding part 31 and the holding part 32 are formed such that the folded part overlaps the seal part 3 or the enclosing part 1. The holding force acting between the holding part 31 and the holding part 32 is, for example, a pressure that can be applied to the enclosing part 1 from the outside during storage, and the enclosing part 1 applies a pressure higher than the seal strength of the seal part 3. Even when it is received, it is sufficient that the folded state between the holding unit 31 and the holding unit 32 can be held.
　これにより、実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００は保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態で保管することができるため、保管時において封入部１が外部からシール部３のシール強度以上の圧力を受けたときにも、当該折り返し部は嚥下補助物質１０の移動を妨げて嚥下補助物質１０がシール部３のシール強度以上の力でシール部３を押圧することを防止する。その結果、シール部３の破壊を防ぐことができ、流動部２への嚥下補助物質１０の流出を防止することができる。 Thereby, since the container 11 for swallowing and the container set 100 for swallowing which concern on Embodiment 3 can be stored in the state folded between the holding | maintenance part 31 and the holding | maintenance part 32, the enclosure part 1 is stored at the time of storage. Even when a pressure higher than the seal strength of the seal portion 3 is applied from the outside, the folded portion prevents the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 from moving, and the swallowing auxiliary material 10 causes the seal portion 3 to be pressed with a force higher than the seal strength of the seal portion 3. Prevent pressing. As a result, destruction of the seal part 3 can be prevented, and the outflow of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 to the fluid part 2 can be prevented.
　つまり、実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００は、保存性に優れているとともに、嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下困難者にも嚥下しやすい状態として取り出すことができる。 That is, the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 3 are excellent in storage stability and can be taken out in a state in which the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be easily swallowed even by a person with difficulty in swallowing.
　保持部３１および保持部３２は、たとえば永久磁石として構成されている。この場合、保持部３１と保持部３２とは、互いに磁力により引力を受けて接触し、かつ接触状態（嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３や嚥下用容器セット１００が保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態）を保持可能に設けられている。また、保持部３１および保持部３２は、たとえば互いに機械的に引っ掛かるとともに、これを維持可能な構造体として構成されていてもよい。 The holding unit 31 and the holding unit 32 are configured as permanent magnets, for example. In this case, the holding unit 31 and the holding unit 32 are in contact with each other by receiving an attractive force due to magnetic force (the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 are connected to the holding unit 31 and the holding unit 32) In a folded state between the two). In addition, the holding unit 31 and the holding unit 32 may be configured as a structure that can be mechanically hooked and maintained, for example.
　保持部３１，３２は、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３や嚥下用容器セット１００を製造した後に、形成されてもよい。 The holding portions 31 and 32 may be formed after the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment are manufactured.
　なお、実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００は、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様に流動部２を通して裁断された嚥下補助物質１０を取り出すことができる。 The swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the third embodiment are similar to the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 cut through can be taken out.
　また、図１４を参照して、実施の形態３に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００は、実施の形態２に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様に切込部３０をさらに備えていてもよい。このとき、保持部３２が切込部３０よりもシール部３から離れた位置に形成されている場合には、保持部３１と保持部３２との間で折り返された状態で切込部３０は第１側部５または第２側部６と重なっているため、切込部３０から第１側部５と第２側部６との間を横断する破断部が形成されることを防止することができる。
（実施の形態４）
　次に、図１５および図１６を参照して、実施の形態４に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００について説明する。 Referring to FIG. 14, swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and swallowing container set 100 according to the third embodiment are the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and swallowing container set according to the second embodiment. Similarly to 100, a cut portion 30 may be further provided. At this time, when the holding portion 32 is formed at a position farther from the seal portion 3 than the cut portion 30, the cut portion 30 is folded between the holding portion 31 and the holding portion 32. Since it overlaps with the 1st side part 5 or the 2nd side part 6, it prevents that the fracture | rupture part which crosses between the 1st side part 5 and the 2nd side part 6 from the notch part 30 is formed. Can do.
(Embodiment 4)
Next, a swallowing container 11 and a swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.
　実施の形態４に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様の構成を備えるが、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂがそれぞれ異なる二枚のシートとして準備され、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂが折り畳まれずに接合されることにより嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００が製造されている点で異なる。 The swallowing container 11 and swallowing container set 100 according to the fourth embodiment basically have the same configuration as the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment, but the first sheet material. 20A and the second sheet material 20B are prepared as two different sheets, and the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are joined without being folded, whereby the swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 are manufactured. Different in that it is.
　嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００には、封入部１を挟んでシール部３と対向する領域に、第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとが接合されている底部７が形成されている。連なる方向Ａにおける封入部１の外形端部は、折り畳み部Ｅ１（図１および図４参照）ではなく、底部７の接合端部Ｅ４として形成されている。底部７のシール強度は、シール部３のシール強度よりも高い。つまり、封入部１は、シール部３と、シール部３よりもシール強度の高い第１側部５、第２側部６、および底部７により封じられている。 The swallowing container 11 and the swallowing container set 100 are formed with a bottom portion 7 in which the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are joined in a region facing the seal portion 3 with the enclosing portion 1 interposed therebetween. ing. The outer end portion of the enclosing portion 1 in the continuous direction A is not a folded portion E1 (see FIGS. 1 and 4), but is formed as a joining end portion E4 of the bottom portion 7. The seal strength of the bottom portion 7 is higher than the seal strength of the seal portion 3. That is, the enclosure part 1 is sealed by the seal part 3, the first side part 5, the second side part 6, and the bottom part 7 having higher sealing strength than the seal part 3.
　実施の形態４に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の製造方法は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の製造方法と同様の構成を備えるが、筒状体部１５Ｃを形成する工程（Ｓ１０）において、第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとは短手方向における両端部において互いに接合され、筒状体部１５Ｃが形成される点で異なる。 The method for manufacturing the swallowing container set 100 according to the fourth embodiment basically includes the same configuration as the method for manufacturing the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment, but forms the cylindrical body portion 15C. In the step (S10), the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are different from each other in that they are joined to each other at both ends in the lateral direction to form a cylindrical body portion 15C.
　第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとはそれぞれの短手方向の端部同士が重なり合うように配置され、一方の端部側に熱溶着部１５Ａ，１５Ｂが形成されるとともに、他方の端部側において第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂが熱溶着などにより接合されて、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの長手方向に延びる熱溶着部１５Ｅが形成される。筒状体部１５Ｃは、熱溶着部１５Ｂと熱溶着部１５Ｅとにより接合されている第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂにより構成される。 The first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are arranged so that the respective end portions in the short direction overlap each other, and heat welding portions 15A and 15B are formed on one end side, and the other end On the part side, the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are joined by heat welding or the like to form a heat welding portion 15E extending in the longitudinal direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B. The cylindrical body portion 15C is configured by the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B that are joined by the heat welding portion 15B and the heat welding portion 15E.
　このようにしても、実施の形態４に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００は、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３および嚥下用容器セット１００と同様に流動部２を通して裁断された嚥下補助物質１０を取り出すことができる。 Even in this way, the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 and the swallowing container set 100 according to the fourth embodiment are similar to the swallowing containers 11, 12, 13, and the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 cut through the fluid part 2 can be taken out.
　なお、実施の形態４に係る嚥下用容器セットの製造装置は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セットの製造装置と同様の構成を備えるが、ガイド部材２２が不要な点、および底部７を形成するための新たな圧接部あるいは新たなシールロールをさらに備えている点で異なる。
（実施の形態５）
　次に、図１７～図１９を参照して、実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１および嚥下用容器セット１００について説明する。 The swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus according to the fourth embodiment basically includes the same configuration as the swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus according to the first embodiment, but the guide member 22 is unnecessary. And the point which further has the new press-contact part or new seal roll for forming the bottom part 7 differs.
(Embodiment 5)
Next, a swallowing container 11 and a swallowing container set 100 according to Embodiment 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
　実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１と同様の構成を備えるが、流動部２における嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路が嚥下用容器１１の外部と接続されていない点で異なる。言い換えると、封入部１と流動部２とが連なる方向Ａにおいて、シール部３と反対側に位置する流動部２の端部は閉じられている。 The swallowing container 11 according to the fifth embodiment has basically the same configuration as the swallowing container 11 according to the first embodiment, but the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the fluidizing section 2 is the swallowing container 11. It is different in that it is not connected to the outside. In other words, in the direction A where the enclosing portion 1 and the fluid portion 2 are continuous, the end of the fluid portion 2 located on the opposite side of the seal portion 3 is closed.
　流動部２は、たとえば第２側部６により３方が囲まれて封止されている。裁断部２Ａは、たとえば第２側部６内に形成されている。 The fluid part 2 is sealed, for example, on the three sides by the second side part 6. The cutting part 2A is formed in the second side part 6, for example.
　この場合、シール部３は、たとえば連なる方向Ａにおいて第１側部５と第２側部６との間にあって、垂直な方向Ｂにおける一方の端部から他方の端部まで延びるように形成されている。つまり、封入部１は、第１側部５と連なる方向Ａにおいて対向するシール部３との間に形成されている。 In this case, the seal portion 3 is formed between the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the continuous direction A, for example, and extends from one end portion to the other end portion in the vertical direction B. Yes. That is, the enclosing portion 1 is formed between the seal portion 3 facing the first side portion 5 in the direction A.
　裁断部２Ａは、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における幅Ｗ２がシール部３の幅Ｗ１よりも狭くなっている限りにおいて、任意の構造を有していればよいが、たとえば連なる方向Ａにおいてシール部３側に近づくほど大きくなるような傾斜４ａを有している。傾斜４ａは、図１７に示すように、たとえば曲線に沿うように形成されている。具体的には、傾斜４ａは、該曲線の接線とシール部３との成す傾斜角θが場所によって徐々に変化している曲線に沿うように形成されている。 The cutting part 2A may have an arbitrary structure as long as the width W2 in the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is narrower than the width W1 of the seal part 3, but for example, the seal part in the continuous direction A It has an inclination 4a that increases as it approaches the third side. As shown in FIG. 17, the inclination 4a is formed along a curve, for example. Specifically, the inclination 4a is formed so that the inclination angle θ formed by the tangent line of the curve and the seal portion 3 is along a curve that gradually changes depending on the location.
　このとき、嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路は、たとえば第２側部６内に端部を有し第２側部６により閉じられている。そのため、たとえば第２側部６において垂直な方向Ｂの少なくとも一方の端部には、上記流出経路を横断する破断部を封入部１に形成可能に設けられている切込部３３が形成されており、切込部３３から破断部を形成することにより嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路は嚥下用容器１１の外部と接続され、嚥下補助物質１０を嚥下用容器１１の外部に取り出すことができる。 At this time, the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 has, for example, an end portion in the second side portion 6 and is closed by the second side portion 6. Therefore, for example, at least one end portion in the direction B perpendicular to the second side portion 6 is formed with a cut portion 33 provided in the enclosing portion 1 so as to be able to form a breaking portion that crosses the outflow path. In addition, by forming a rupture portion from the notch 33, the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is connected to the outside of the swallowing container 11, and the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 can be taken out of the swallowing container 11.
　ここで、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路における幅Ｗ２は、たとえば切込部３３から形成される破断部と重なる領域における嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路の幅である。 Here, the width W2 in the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting part 2A is, for example, the width of the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in a region overlapping with the fracture portion formed from the notch 33.
　また、封入部１および流動部２には、連なる方向Ａにおける嚥下用容器１１の一方の外形端部から他方の外形端部まで延びるように背貼り部４０が形成されている。背貼り部４０は、たとえば第１シート材２０Ａと第２シート材２０Ｂとが一枚のシートとして構成されている場合に、第１シート材２０Ａおよび第２シート材２０Ｂの短手方向の端部同士を重ね合わせて接合することにより形成されている。背貼り部４０は、垂直な方向Ｂにおける一方の端部（折り畳み部）と他方の端部（折り畳み部）との間に配置される。つまり、封入部１は、垂直な方向Ｂに沿ってシール部３と第１側部５とによって封止されているとともに、連なる方向Ａに沿って背貼り部４０によって封止されていることにより、嚥下補助物質１０を封入している。また、流動部２は、連なる方向Ａに沿って背貼り部４０によって封止されていることにより、連なる方向Ａに延びる嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路を有している。 Further, a back pasting portion 40 is formed in the enclosing portion 1 and the fluidizing portion 2 so as to extend from one outer shape end portion of the swallowing container 11 in the continuous direction A to the other outer shape end portion. For example, when the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B are configured as one sheet, the back pasting portion 40 is an end portion in the short direction of the first sheet material 20A and the second sheet material 20B. It is formed by overlapping and joining each other. The back pasting portion 40 is disposed between one end portion (folding portion) and the other end portion (folding portion) in the vertical direction B. That is, the enclosing portion 1 is sealed by the seal portion 3 and the first side portion 5 along the vertical direction B, and is sealed by the back pasting portion 40 along the continuous direction A. The swallowing auxiliary substance 10 is enclosed. Moreover, the flow part 2 has the outflow path | route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 extended in the continuous direction A by being sealed by the back pasting part 40 along the continuous direction A. FIG.
　垂直な方向Ｂにおいて背貼り部４０は、たとえば嚥下用容器１１を平面視したときに裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路と重ならない位置に形成される。 In the vertical direction B, the back pasting portion 40 is formed at a position that does not overlap with the outflow route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the cutting portion 2A when the swallowing container 11 is viewed in plan, for example.
　実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１は、使用の前に、切込部３３から流動部２における嚥下補助物質１０の流出経路を横断する破断部を予め形成しておけば、後は実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１と同様に使用し得る。このようして、実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１は、実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器１１と同様の効果を奏することができる。 If the container 11 for swallowing which concerns on Embodiment 5 will previously form the fracture | rupture part which crosses the outflow path | route of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 in the flow part 2 from the notch part 33 before use, it will carry out after that. It can be used similarly to the container 11 for swallowing according to the first embodiment. Thus, the swallowing container 11 according to the fifth embodiment can achieve the same effects as the swallowing container 11 according to the first embodiment.
　実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器セット１００は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００と同様の構成を備えるが、複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３がシール部３の延在方向ではなく連なる方向Ａ（貼り部４０が延在する方向）おいて互いに連結されている点で異なる。 The swallowing container set 100 according to the fifth embodiment has basically the same configuration as the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment, but a plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 are provided with the seal portion 3. Are different from each other in that they are connected to each other in the continuous direction A (the direction in which the pasting portion 40 extends), not in the extending direction.
　そのため、複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３に封入されている嚥下補助物質１０の収容量がそれぞれ異なっている場合には、連なる方向Ａにおける第１側部５とシール部３との距離が変化している。一方で、垂直な方向Ｂにおける封入部１の幅Ｗ１は、複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３のそれぞれにおいて等しく設けられている。 Therefore, when the accommodation amounts of the swallowing auxiliary substances 10 enclosed in the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, 13 are different from each other, the distance between the first side portion 5 and the seal portion 3 in the continuous direction A is It has changed. On the other hand, the width W1 of the enclosure part 1 in the vertical direction B is equally provided in each of the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13.
　嚥下用容器１２における第１側部５とシール部３との間隔Ｌ２は嚥下用容器１１における第１側部５とシール部３との間隔Ｌ１よりも長く、嚥下用容器１３における第１側部５とシール部３との間隔Ｌ３は嚥下用容器１２における第１側部５とシール部３との間隔Ｌ２よりも長く設けられている。 The distance L2 between the first side 5 and the seal part 3 in the swallowing container 12 is longer than the distance L1 between the first side 5 and the seal part 3 in the swallowing container 11, and the first side part in the swallowing container 13 The distance L3 between the seal 5 and the seal portion 3 is longer than the distance L2 between the first side portion 5 and the seal portion 3 in the swallowing container 12.
　実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の製造方法は、基本的には実施の形態１に係る嚥下用容器セット１００の製造方法と同様の構成を備えるが、筒状体を形成する工程（Ｓ１０）においてシール部３となるべき熱溶着部１５Ｂが形成されず、背貼り部４０が形成される点で異なる。また、シール部３は、第１側部５および第２側部６と同時に形成されてもよい。言い換えると、実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器セットの製造装置は、第１側部５および第２側部６を形成するシールロールにシール部３を形成するための圧接部がさらに形成されていてもよい。 The manufacturing method of the swallowing container set 100 according to the fifth embodiment is basically provided with the same configuration as the manufacturing method of the swallowing container set 100 according to the first embodiment, but a step of forming a cylindrical body ( In S10), the heat welding part 15B which should become the seal part 3 is not formed, but the back pasting part 40 is formed. Further, the seal portion 3 may be formed simultaneously with the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6. In other words, the swallowing container set manufacturing apparatus according to Embodiment 5 further includes a press contact portion for forming the seal portion 3 on the seal roll forming the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6. May be.
　また、図２０および図２１を参照して、実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３において、封入部１および流動部２には、背貼り部４０に代わって、連なる方向Ａにおける嚥下用容器１１の一方の外形端部から他方の外形端部まで延びるように側貼り部４１が形成されていてもよい。側貼り部４１は、嚥下用容器１１を平面視したときに、垂直な方向Ｂにおける嚥下用容器１１の端部を成すように形成されている。この場合、切込部３３は、たとえば垂直な方向Ｂにおいて側貼り部４１から第２側部６にまで達するように設けられている。 20 and 21, in the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 according to the fifth embodiment, the enclosing portion 1 and the fluid portion 2 are provided in the continuous direction A in place of the back pasting portion 40. The side pasting part 41 may be formed so as to extend from one outer end of the swallowing container 11 to the other outer end. The side pasting portion 41 is formed so as to form an end portion of the swallowing container 11 in the vertical direction B when the swallowing container 11 is viewed in plan. In this case, the cut portion 33 is provided so as to reach from the side pasting portion 41 to the second side portion 6 in the vertical direction B, for example.
　なお、実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３には、実施の形態２に係る嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３と同様に切込部３０が形成されていてもよい。切込部３０は、第１側部５および第２側部６の少なくともいずれか一方に形成されていればよい。この場合、切込部３０は、たとえば第１側部５と第２側部６との間を連なる方向Ａに横断する破断部を封入部１に形成可能に設けられている。 In addition, in the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 according to the fifth embodiment, the cut portions 30 may be formed in the same manner as the swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13 according to the second embodiment. The cut portion 30 only needs to be formed in at least one of the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6. In this case, the cut portion 30 is provided in the encapsulating portion 1 so as to be able to form a break portion that crosses the first side portion 5 and the second side portion 6 in the direction A that is continuous, for example.
　また、実施の形態１～実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器セット１００において、裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質の流出経路における幅は、複数の嚥下用容器１１，１２，１３の間で互いに異なるように設けられていてもよい。図２２を参照して、たとえば封入部１において封入されている嚥下補助物質１０の収容量が等しい複数の嚥下用容器１１のうち、一方の嚥下用容器１１の裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質の流出経路における幅Ｗ２が、他方の嚥下用容器１１の裁断部２Ａにおける嚥下補助物質の流出経路における幅Ｗ５よりも狭く形成されていてもよい。 Further, in the swallowing container set 100 according to the first to fifth embodiments, the width of the swallowing auxiliary substance in the outflow path in the cutting part 2A is different among the plurality of swallowing containers 11, 12, and 13. May be provided. Referring to FIG. 22, outflow of the swallowing auxiliary substance in the cutting part 2 </ b> A of one swallowing container 11 among the plurality of swallowing containers 11 having the same accommodation amount of the swallowing auxiliary substance 10 sealed in the sealing part 1, for example. The width W2 in the path may be formed narrower than the width W5 in the outflow path of the swallowing auxiliary substance in the cutting part 2A of the other swallowing container 11.
　また、実施の形態１～実施の形態５に係る嚥下用容器セット１００において、傾斜４ａは、図１に示すようにシール部３に対して所定の傾斜角θを成す１つの線分に沿うように形成されていてもよいし、図１７に示すようにシール部３に対する傾斜角θが場所によって徐々に変化している任意の曲線に沿うように形成されていてもよい。また、傾斜４ａは、シール部３に対して異なる傾斜角θを成し、かつ互いに交差する複数の線分に沿うように形成されていてもよい。 Further, in the swallowing container set 100 according to the first to fifth embodiments, the inclination 4a is along one line segment that forms a predetermined inclination angle θ with respect to the seal portion 3 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the inclination angle θ with respect to the seal portion 3 may be formed along an arbitrary curve that gradually changes depending on the location. Further, the inclination 4a may be formed along a plurality of line segments that form different inclination angles θ with respect to the seal portion 3 and intersect each other.
