Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、坐剤シートを保持する坐剤シートホルダーに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に、痔疾用剤や解熱剤などの坐剤は、体温で融解するように設計されており、二枚の包装材を予め坐剤の形状に成形し、その周縁部を熱封緘して形成される空間に溶融した坐剤を充填して冷却凝固させることにより製造されている。すなわち、各包装材には、その裏面側に接着剤が積層されるとともに、その表面側に向かって突出する略砲弾状の凸部が設定間隔をおいて形成されており、各包装材の裏面側接着剤を対向させ、対向する２枚の包装材を注入部を除いて熱封緘し、２枚の包装材の凸部によって形成される空間に注入部を通して坐剤を充填した後、注入部を熱封緘し、図８に示すように、設定個数の坐剤部ｓを有するように切断して坐剤シートＳとされている（例えば、実開平４−３２７３４号公報参照）。
【０００３】
このような坐剤シートＳの包装材によって封入された坐剤は、製造上、２枚の包装材によって形成された凸部の容積よりもわずかに小さな体積を有している。したがって、体温などによって坐剤が融解した場合、前述した包装材の凸部の容積と坐剤の体積の差によって坐剤に陥没部が形成されることになる。この場合、坐剤の挿入側先端や胴部に陥没部が形成されると、商品価値がなくなることから、医薬品取扱業者や病院や薬局などに製造販売するために箱詰めする際、あるいは、流通過程において、万が一坐剤が融解したとしても、その挿入側先端などに陥没部が形成されることがないように、坐剤シートＳは、作業者によって坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた状態で包装箱Ｃに箱詰めされている（図９参照）。
【０００４】
ここで、隣接する２枚の坐剤シートＳにおいて、各坐剤部ｓが互いに相手側の隣接する坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように坐剤シートＳを重ねて配置すると、積載効率が向上し、一定容積の包装箱Ｃ内により多くの坐剤シートＳを収容することができる。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、前述したように、坐剤シートＳを各坐剤部ｓが互いに相手側の隣接する坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように作業者が１枚ずつ箱詰めすることは、作業効率の点から困難であり、また、坐剤シートＳが倒れたりして積み込み作業が煩雑になるという欠点があった。さらに、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた状態で坐剤シートＳを箱詰めする際、坐剤シートＳの下端縁が包装箱Ｃの底面と衝突すると、包装材はその衝撃を支えることができず、坐剤シートＳの下端縁が屈曲して使用時の開封性が損なわれる他、場合によっては、坐剤が折損するおそれがある。このような坐剤シートＳの下端縁の屈曲や、坐剤の折損は、坐剤シートＳの流通過程において、外部から衝撃や振動が加わった場合にも発生しうる。
【０００６】
なお、坐剤シートＳの表裏面形状に対応する形状のプラスチックシートを形成し、複数枚の坐剤シートＳを重ねた後、２枚のプラスチックシートによって複数枚の坐剤シートＳを挟み込んで覆い、包装することも考えられるが、プラスチック廃棄物が発生することになり、その処理が困難になるという問題がある。
【０００７】
本発明は、このような問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、坐剤シートを箱詰めする際、積載効率を低下させることなく複数枚の坐剤シートを保持するとともに、坐剤シートの箱詰め時や流通過程において、坐剤シートの下端縁の屈曲や坐剤の折損を確実に防止し、また、廃棄物処理の問題が発生することのない坐剤シートホルダーを提供するものである。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、設定個数の坐剤部が設けられた坐剤シートを坐剤の挿入側先端を下方に向けて箱詰めする際に複数枚の坐剤シートを一体に保持する坐剤シートホルダーであって、上端部に折り目を介して係止片が連設された一側面部の下端縁に、接続部、他側面部が順に折り目を介して連設されてなり、一側面部および他側面部には、坐剤シートの坐剤部を嵌合可能な複数個の嵌合穴がそれぞれ形成され、また、折り目に沿って折り込んで坐剤シートの坐剤部を一側面部の嵌合穴および他側面部の嵌合穴に嵌合した際、係止片の折り目または接続部は、坐剤シートの下端縁よりも下方に離隔した位置に形成されていることを特徴とするものである。
【０００９】
本発明によれば、一の坐剤シートの坐剤部が隣接する他の坐剤シートの隣接する坐剤部間に位置するように複数枚の坐剤シートを順に配置し、坐剤シートホルダーの一側面部の嵌合穴および他側面部の嵌合穴に前後両端に配置された坐剤シートの坐剤部をそれぞれ嵌め込み、係止片を折り込むことにより、複数枚の坐剤シートを宙吊り状態で一体に保持することができる。
【００１０】
したがって、複数枚の坐剤シートを一体に保持している坐剤シートホルダーを把持し、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けて簡単に箱詰めすることができる。この際、一の坐剤シートの坐剤部は隣接する他の坐剤シートの隣接する坐剤部間に位置していることから、積載効率を低下させることがない。また、包装箱の底面には、坐剤シートを宙吊り状態で保持している坐剤シートホルダーの下端部が接触することから、坐剤シートの下端縁の屈曲や坐剤の折損を確実に防止することができる。さらに、坐剤シートホルダーは台紙から形成されているため、廃棄物として焼却しても有害なガスを発生させることがなく、安全に処理することができるとともに、坐剤の投薬単位の区分、使用法、保管上の注意事項などを印刷表示する場合にも有用となる。
【００１１】
本発明において、一側面部の嵌合穴と他側面部の嵌合穴とが嵌合穴間隔の１／２だけ互いに変位していると、偶数枚の坐剤シートにおける前後両端の坐剤シートの坐剤部を坐剤シートホルダーの一側面部の嵌合穴および他側面部の嵌合穴にそれぞれ嵌め込んで宙吊り状態で一体に保持することができる。
【００１２】
本発明において、他側面部の下端部に一側面部に連設された係止片と係合可能な係合凹部が形成され、係合凹部の底辺と接続部に対する他側面部の折り目との間隔が係止片の折り目と接続部に対する一側面部の折り目との間隔と略同一であると、坐剤シートホルダーの他側面部と一側面部とが位置決めされて左右方向の横ズレが規制されるため、複数枚の坐剤シートにおける前後両端の坐剤シートの横移動を防止して保持することができる。また、坐剤シートホルダーの端縁の剛性がより大きくなるため、箱詰めに際して、あるいは、意図しない上方からの負荷に対して一側面部と他側面部の座屈を防止することができ、坐剤シートの下端縁の屈曲や坐剤の折損をより確実に防止することができる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の坐剤シートホルダーの実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【００１４】
図１乃至図３には、本発明の坐剤シートホルダー１の一実施形態が示されている。
【００１５】
この坐剤シートホルダー１は、一の坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓが他の坐剤シートＳの隣接する坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように配置された２枚の坐剤シートＳ，Ｓを一体に保持し、坐剤の挿入側先端を下方に向けて箱詰めするものであって、台紙を図４の展開図にしたがって打ち抜いた後、折り目に沿って折り込んで２枚の坐剤シートＳ，Ｓを一体に保持した後、所定部分を貼着して組み立てられる。
【００１６】
この坐剤シートホルダー１は、図４の展開図において、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓを嵌合可能な複数個の嵌合穴２１が形成された一側面部２と、一側面部２の下端縁に折り目ａを介して連設された接続部３と、接続部３の下端縁に折り目ｂを介して連設され、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓを嵌合可能な複数個の嵌合穴４１が形成された他側面部４と、一側面部２の上端部の略中央に折り目ｃを介して連設された係止片５と、からなり、一側面部２に形成された嵌合穴２１と他側面部４に形成された嵌合穴４１とは、坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓの間隔Ｐの半分だけ変位されている。そして、坐剤シートホルダー１の他側面部４の左右両端部には、坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓに合わせて嵌合穴４１の縦方向の半分形状の切欠部４１ｘが形成されている他、他側面部４の下端部には、一側面部２に連設された係止片５と係合可能な係合凹部４２が形成されている。
【００１７】
ここで、折り目ｂと係合凹部４２の底辺４２１との間隔は、折り目ａと折り目ｃとの間隔にほぼ等しく、かつ、坐剤シートＳの高さよりも大きく設定されている。また、係止片５の折り目ｃは、一側面部２の嵌合穴２１に坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓを嵌め込んだ際、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた坐剤シートＳの下端縁よりも下方に離隔して位置するように設定されている他、係止片５の折り目ｃを他側面部４の係合凹部４２の底辺４２１に係合させた際、他側面部４の嵌合穴４１に嵌め込まれた坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓと干渉しないように係止片５の大きさが設定されている。
【００１８】
なお、坐剤シートホルダー１における一側面部２と他側面部４の全幅および一側面部２と他側面部４にそれぞれ形成される嵌合穴２１，４１の数は、坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓの数に合わせて適宜設定される。具体的には、図１に示した実施形態においては、坐剤部ｓが７連設けられた坐剤シートＳに対して一側面部２に３個の嵌合穴２１を形成するとともに、他側面部４に２個の嵌合穴２１を形成した坐剤シートホルダー１を例示したが、この坐剤シートホルダー１によって坐剤部ｓが６連あるいは５連設けられた坐剤シートＳについても対応することができる。また、坐剤部ｓが８連以上設けられた坐剤シートＳについては、一側面部２と他側面部４の全幅をより大きくし、一側面部２に４個以上の嵌合穴２１を形成するとともに、他側面部４に３個以上の嵌合穴４１を形成すればよい。
【００１９】
次に、このような坐剤シートホルダー１を用いて２枚の坐剤シートＳ，Ｓを一体に保持する場合について説明する。
【００２０】
まず、一側面部２および他側面部４を接続部３に対して折り目ａ，ｂに沿ってそれぞれ山折りし、軽く立ち上げておく。また、一方の坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓが他方の坐剤シートＳの隣接する一対の坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように、２枚の坐剤シートＳを重ね合わせた後、重ね合わせた２枚の坐剤シートＳ，Ｓのうち、下方の坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓを坐剤シートホルダー１の一側面部２の嵌合穴２１に嵌め込む。次いで、他側面部４を折り目ｂに沿って折り込んでその嵌合穴４１を上方の坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓに嵌め込み、２枚の坐剤シートＳを坐剤シートホルダー１の一側面部２と他側面部４によって挟み込む。この後、係止片５を折り目ｃに沿って他側面部４の表面側に折り曲げ、折り目ｃを他側面部４の係合凹部４２の底辺４２１に係合させ、係止片５の裏面に接着剤を塗布して他側面部４の表面に貼着する。この際、係止片５が他側面部４の係合凹部４２に係合すると、一側面部２と他側面部４とが位置決めされて一側面部２と他側面部４との相対的な横ズレが規制されることから、２枚の坐剤シートＳの横移動が防止される。
【００２１】
この結果、坐剤シートホルダー１によって２枚の坐剤シートＳを宙吊り状態で一体に保持することができるとともに、坐剤シートホルダー１を把持し、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けて２枚の坐剤シートＳを簡単に包装箱Ｃに箱詰めすることができる（図５参照）。この際、２枚の坐剤シートＳは、坐剤部ｓが互いに相手側坐剤シートＳの隣接する坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように配置されているため、積載効率を低下させることがない。
【００２２】
また、坐剤シートＳの箱詰めに際して、あるいは、流通過程において振動などが作用したとしても、坐剤シートホルダー１における一側面部２の下端縁および他側面部４の下端縁が包装箱Ｃの底面に接触するため、包装箱Ｃの底面との衝突を坐剤シートホルダー１によって支えることができ、坐剤シートＳに衝撃が作用することはない。すなわち、坐剤シートホルダー１における他側面部４の係合凹部４２に係止片５が係合され、係止片５が他側面部４に貼着されているため、坐剤シートホルダー１の端縁の剛性がより大きくなり、一側面部２と他側面部４との座屈が確実に防止される。このため、剛性の大きな坐剤シートホルダー１によって包装箱Ｃの底面との衝突を支えることができ、坐剤シートＳの下端縁が屈曲したり、坐剤が折損するのをより確実に防止することができる。
【００２３】
一方、病院や薬局などにおいて投薬する場合には、坐剤シートホルダー１で保持された単位で処方することができる他、分割投与で坐剤を投薬するため、坐剤シートＳを取り出す場合には、坐剤シートホルダー１の係止片５を引き剥がし、坐剤シートホルダー１によって一体化された２枚の坐剤シートＳを取り出せばよい。この際、坐剤シートホルダー１は台紙から形成されているため、通常の廃棄物処理、例えば、焼却処理しても、プラスチックのように有害なガスを発生させることがなく、安全に処理することができる。
【００２４】
なお、前述した実施形態においては、２枚の坐剤シートＳ，Ｓを一体に保持する坐剤シートホルダー１を例示したが、２枚に限定するものではなく、４枚以上の偶数枚の坐剤シートＳを保持することもできる。この場合は、重ね合わせる坐剤シートＳの枚数に合わせて、接続部３の幅および一側面部２と他側面部４の高さを調整すればよい。
【００２５】
また、前述の実施形態においては、他側面部４に係合凹部４２を形成し、一側面部２に連設した係止片５を係合凹部４２に係合させて他側面部４に貼着させる場合を説明したが、接着に限定するものではなく、例えば、係止片５と他側面部４とにわたって粘着テープを貼着したり、ゴムバンドで止着してもよい。また、係合凹部４２の形状をその底辺４２１の両端から先端縁に向かって先窄まりとなるテーパ形状に形成する一方、係止片５を係合凹部４２に対応して鳩尾形状に形成し、係止片５を係合凹部４２に係合させることにより両者の離脱を阻止して一体化させるようにしてもよい。
【００２６】
さらに、他側面部４に係合凹部４２を必ずしも形成する必要はなく、係止片５を他側面部４の下端縁に対応する位置で折り曲げて他側面部４に貼着させるようにしてもよい。
【００２７】
また、前述した実施形態においては、偶数枚の坐剤シートＳを一体に保持する坐剤シートホルダー１について説明したが、３枚以上の奇数枚の坐剤シートＳを一体に保持する坐剤シートホルダー１に形成することもできる。すなわち、３枚以上の奇数枚の坐剤シートＳを保持する坐剤シートホルダー１は、前述した他側面部４の嵌合穴４１を、接続部３に関して一側面部２の嵌合穴２１と対称位置に形成すればよい。この場合においても、３枚以上の奇数枚の坐剤シートＳは、各坐剤部ｓが隣接する坐剤シートＳの隣接する坐剤部ｓ，ｓ間に位置するように配置される。
【００２８】
さらにまた、一側面部２に係止片５を連設するとともに、他側面部４に係合凹部４２を形成した実施形態を例示したが、一側面部に係合凹部を形成し、他側面部に係止片を連設してもよい。
【００２９】
ところで、前述した実施形態においては、上端部に係止片５が折り目ｃを介して連設された一側面部２、一側面部２の下端縁に折り目ａを介して連設された接続部３および接続部３の下端縁に折り目ｂを介して連設され、一側面部２に連設された係止片５と係合可能な係合凹部４２が下端部に形成された他側面部４から坐剤シートホルダー１を構成し、側方から見て一側面部２の端縁および他側面部４の端縁が下方に位置して略逆三角形状となるように折り込んだ坐剤シートホルダー１を例示したが、図６および図７に示すように、一側面部２の嵌合穴２１および他側面部４の嵌合穴４１を前述した実施形態と上下逆に形成した坐剤シートホルダー１であってもよい。
【００３０】
この場合の坐剤シートホルダー１においても、折り目ｂと係合凹部４２の底辺４２１との間隔は、折り目ａと折り目ｃとの間隔にほぼ等しく、かつ、坐剤シートＳの高さよりも大きく設定されている。また、接続部３の折り目ａ，ｂは、一側面部２の嵌合穴２１および他側面部４の嵌合穴４１に坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓを嵌め込んだ際、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた状態の坐剤シートＳの下端縁よりも下方に離隔して位置するように設定されている他、係止片５の折り目ｃは、他側面部４の係合凹部４２に係合した際に、他側面部４の嵌合穴４１に嵌め込まれた坐剤シートＳの坐剤部ｓと干渉しないように設定されている。
【００３１】
この実施形態の坐剤シートホルダー１は、側方より見て接続部３が下方に位置して略正立状の三角形となるように折り込まれた後、包装箱Ｃの底面に接続部３が接触するように箱詰めされる。
【００３２】
したがって、坐剤シートＳの箱詰めに際して、あるいは、流通過程において振動などが作用したとしても、坐剤シートホルダー１における接続部３が包装箱Ｃの底面に接触しているため、包装箱Ｃの底面との衝突を坐剤シートホルダー１によって支えることができ、坐剤シートＳに衝撃が作用することはない。すなわち、坐剤シートホルダー１によって包装箱Ｃの底面との衝突を支えることができ、坐剤シートＳの下端縁が屈曲したり、坐剤が折損するのを確実に防止することができる。また、面積の大きな接続部３が包装箱Ｃの底面に接触することから、複数枚の坐剤シートＳを宙吊り状に一体に保持している坐剤シートホルダー１の安定性が良好となり、坐剤シートホルダー１の倒れを防止して箱詰めすることができる。
【００３３】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、一の坐剤シートの坐剤部が隣接する他の坐剤シートの隣接する坐剤部間に位置するように複数枚の坐剤シートを配置し、坐剤シートホルダーの一側面部の嵌合穴および他側面部の嵌合穴に前後両端に配置された坐剤シートの坐剤部をそれぞれ嵌め込み、係止片を折り込むことにより、複数枚の坐剤シートを宙吊り状態で一体に保持することができることから、複数枚の坐剤シートを一体に保持している坐剤シートホルダーを把持し、坐剤の挿入側先端を下に向けた状態で簡単に、かつ積載効率を低下させることなく箱詰めすることができる。この際、坐剤シートを宙吊り状状態に保持している坐剤シートホルダーの下端部が包装箱の底面に接触することから、坐剤シートの下端縁が屈曲したり、坐剤が折損するのを確実に防止することができる。また、坐剤シートホルダーは台紙から形成されているため、廃棄物として焼却しても有害なガスを発生させることがなく、安全に処理することができるとともに、坐剤の投薬単位の区分や使用法、保管上の注意事項などを印刷表示する場合にも有用となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a suppository sheet holder for holding a suppository sheet.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, suppositories such as antiepileptics and antipyretic agents are designed to melt at body temperature, and are formed by pre-molding two wrapping materials into the shape of a suppository and heat-sealing the periphery. It is manufactured by filling a space with a melted suppository and allowing it to cool and solidify. That is, the adhesive is laminated on the back surface side of each packaging material, and substantially bullet-shaped convex portions protruding toward the front surface side are formed at set intervals, and the back surface of each packaging material The side adhesive is made to face each other, the two packaging materials facing each other are heat sealed except for the injection part, and the space formed by the convex parts of the two packaging materials is filled with the suppository through the injection part, and then the injection part As shown in FIG. 8, it is cut to have a set number of suppository portions s to form a suppository sheet S (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-32734).
[0003]
The suppository enclosed by the packaging material of such a suppository sheet S has a volume slightly smaller than the volume of the convex part formed of two packaging materials on manufacture. Therefore, when the suppository is melted due to body temperature or the like, a depression is formed in the suppository due to the difference between the volume of the convex portion of the packaging material and the volume of the suppository. In this case, if a depression is formed on the tip or body of the suppository, the product value will be lost, so when boxing for manufacturing and selling to pharmaceutical dealers, hospitals, pharmacies, etc., or in the distribution process In this case, even if the suppository is melted, the suppository sheet S is in a state in which the insertion side tip of the suppository is directed downward by the operator so that no depression is formed at the insertion side tip or the like. Is packed in a packaging box C (see FIG. 9).
[0004]
Here, in the two adjacent suppository sheets S, when the suppository sheets S are arranged so that each suppository part s is located between the adjacent suppository parts s, s, the loading efficiency is increased. And more suppository sheets S can be accommodated in the packaging box C having a constant volume.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, as described above, it is efficient for the worker to pack the suppository sheet S one by one so that each suppository part s is positioned between the adjacent suppository parts s, s. In addition, there is a drawback that the suppository sheet S falls down and the loading operation becomes complicated. Further, when packing the suppository sheet S with the insertion side tip of the suppository facing downward, if the lower edge of the suppository sheet S collides with the bottom surface of the packaging box C, the packaging material may support the impact. In addition, the lower edge of the suppository sheet S is bent and the openability during use is impaired, and in some cases, the suppository may be broken. Such bending of the lower edge of the suppository sheet S and breakage of the suppository may occur in the distribution process of the suppository sheet S even when an impact or vibration is applied from the outside.
[0006]
In addition, after forming a plastic sheet having a shape corresponding to the shape of the front and back surfaces of the suppository sheet S and stacking a plurality of suppository sheets S, the plurality of suppository sheets S are sandwiched and covered by the two plastic sheets. Packaging is also possible, but there is a problem in that plastic waste is generated and its disposal becomes difficult.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and when packaging a suppository sheet, while holding a plurality of suppository sheets without reducing the loading efficiency, It is an object of the present invention to provide a suppository sheet holder that reliably prevents bending of the lower edge of the suppository sheet and breakage of the suppository in the distribution process and does not cause a problem of waste disposal.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a suppository sheet holder that integrally holds a plurality of suppository sheets when boxing a suppository sheet provided with a set number of suppository parts with the tip of the suppository insertion side facing downward. The connection portion and the other side surface portion are sequentially connected to the lower end edge of the one side surface portion in which the locking piece is continuously provided through the fold at the upper end portion, and the one side surface portion and the other side surface portion. Are formed with a plurality of fitting holes into which the suppository part of the suppository sheet can be fitted, respectively, and the suppository part of the suppository sheet is folded along the crease so that the suppository part has a fitting hole on one side part and When fitted into the fitting hole in the other side surface portion, the fold or connecting portion of the locking piece is formed at a position spaced below the lower end edge of the suppository sheet.
[0009]
According to the present invention, a plurality of suppository sheets are arranged in order so that the suppository part of one suppository sheet is located between adjacent suppository parts of other adjacent suppository sheets, and the suppository sheet holder Fit the suppository part of the suppository sheet placed at both the front and rear ends into the fitting hole on one side part and the fitting hole on the other side part, and fold the locking piece to suspend multiple suppository sheets Can be held together in a state.
[0010]
Therefore, the suppository sheet holder that holds a plurality of suppository sheets integrally can be grasped, and the suppository insertion side tip can be easily directed downward. At this time, since the suppository part of one suppository sheet is located between adjacent suppository parts of other adjacent suppository sheets, the loading efficiency is not lowered. In addition, the lower end of the suppository sheet holder that holds the suppository sheet in a suspended state is in contact with the bottom of the packaging box, so it is possible to reliably prevent bending of the lower edge of the suppository sheet and breakage of the suppository. can do. Furthermore, since the suppository sheet holder is formed from a mount, it can be safely processed without generating harmful gases even when incinerated as waste, and the suppository dosage unit can be separated and used. It is also useful when printing and displaying legal and storage precautions.
[0011]
In the present invention, when the fitting holes on one side and the fitting holes on the other side are displaced from each other by a half of the gap between the fitting holes, the suppository sheets at the front and rear ends of the even number of suppository sheets The suppository part of the suppository sheet holder can be fitted into the fitting hole on one side face part and the fitting hole on the other side face part, respectively, and held together in a suspended state.
[0012]
In the present invention, an engagement recess is formed at the lower end portion of the other side surface portion that can be engaged with the engaging piece continuously provided on one side surface portion, and the bottom of the engagement recess and the fold of the other side surface portion with respect to the connection portion are formed. If the distance between the crease of the locking piece and the crease of the one side surface with respect to the connecting portion is substantially the same, the other side surface portion and one side surface portion of the suppository sheet holder are positioned, and the lateral displacement in the left-right direction is restricted. Therefore, the lateral movement of the suppository sheets at the front and rear ends of the plurality of suppository sheets can be prevented and held. In addition, since the rigidity of the edge of the suppository sheet holder becomes larger, buckling of one side surface portion and the other side surface portion can be prevented during packaging or against an unintended load from above. Bending of the lower edge of the sheet and breakage of the suppository can be prevented more reliably.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the suppository sheet holder of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
1 to 3 show an embodiment of a suppository sheet holder 1 of the present invention.
[0015]
This suppository sheet holder 1 has two suppository sheets arranged so that the suppository part s of one suppository sheet S is positioned between adjacent suppository parts s, s of another suppository sheet S. S and S are held together and packed in a box with the suppository insertion-side tip facing downward, and the mount is punched out according to the development of FIG. After the agent sheets S, S are held together, a predetermined portion is attached and assembled.
[0016]
The suppository sheet holder 1 is formed with a plurality of fitting holes 21 into which the suppository portion s of the suppository sheet S can be fitted with the tip of the suppository inserted side down in the developed view of FIG. The side surface 2, the connection portion 3 connected to the lower end edge of the side surface portion 2 via the fold line a, and the connection portion 3 connected to the lower end edge of the connection portion 3 via the fold line b. The other side surface portion 4 in which a plurality of fitting holes 41 capable of fitting the suppository portion s of the suppository sheet S with the tip facing down are formed, and a crease c at the substantially center of the upper end portion of the one side surface portion 2 And the engagement hole 21 formed in the one side surface portion 2 and the engagement hole 41 formed in the other side surface portion 4 are the seats of the suppository sheet S. It is displaced by half the interval P of the agent part s. And the left-right both ends of the other side part 4 of the suppository sheet holder 1 are formed with a half-shaped notch 41x in the vertical direction of the fitting hole 41 in accordance with the suppository part s of the suppository sheet S. In addition, an engaging recess 42 is formed at the lower end portion of the other side surface portion 4 so as to be engageable with the locking piece 5 provided continuously to the one side surface portion 2.
[0017]
Here, the interval between the fold line b and the bottom 421 of the engagement recess 42 is set to be approximately equal to the interval between the fold line a and the fold line c and larger than the height of the suppository sheet S.
