[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, PTP sheets that can be used for directly storing pharmaceuticals such as tablets and capsules are made of plastic sheets such as vinyl chloride, and have storage sizes that are appropriate for the storage items (tablets, capsules, etc.). It is comprised from the provided sheet | seat main body and the cover sheet | seat which consists of a hard aluminum sheet which seals each accommodating part of this sheet | seat main body. And, in such departments where pharmaceuticals are distributed and where pharmaceutical operations are carried out, each of the pharmaceuticals handles a large quantity, so in this PTP sheet, for example, 10 storage units (5 rows × 2 columns) are provided. One sheet was used, and after multiple sheets were pillow-wrapped with a composite film containing aluminum foil, such as polyethylene terephthalate / Al / polypropylene, the product information and handling instructions were described. The package is in the form of a cosmetic box, and in this way, many of the same medicines can be handled together.
[0003]
However, in the package of a form in which a plurality of PTP sheets are packaged in a pillow and put in a cosmetic box, there is an advantageous aspect in terms of moisture resistance, but the interior material by pillow packaging and the exterior material of the cosmetic box It is a double package, and there is an uneconomical point that the cost of the packaging material is greatly increased.
In addition, in a department that handles pharmaceuticals, if the cosmetic box is discarded as an unnecessary item, if the interior material is of a layer configuration using Al, the contained material, that is, unless the interior material is torn, that is, It becomes impossible to check the PTP sheet and the medicine itself. Therefore, after opening the cosmetic box, there is a problem that the PTP sheet must be stored in a state where the decorative box and the interior material are used.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to confirm information on a medicine stored in a PTP sheet, a PTP sheet, the medicine itself, and the like while simplifying a packaging form for collectively storing a plurality of PTP sheets. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a packaging form that is inexpensive and can reliably handle pharmaceuticals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in FIGS.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a gusset type package. As shown in the figure, this gusset-type package 1 is formed by gathering a predetermined number of the same PTP sheets 2, and gusseting a transparent film 3 that wraps a PTP stack 4 formed by stacking a plurality of the PTP sheets 2. In the same way as in past gusseting, the PTP load 4 is sequentially fed onto the strip-shaped transparent film 3 flowing through the packaging line, and the edges of the transparent film 3 are sealed together. By forming a sleeve-like body portion 6 having a back seal portion 5, each PTP product 4 is wrapped in a body-wound shape, and both ends of the body portion 6 corresponding to each PTP product 4 are sealed to end seals. The storage space is closed by the portion 7 and cut every time the end seal portion 7 on the delivery side is sealed, and the gusset-type package 1 in which the PTP load 4 is wrapped with the transparent film 3 Obtained.
[0006]
In the package 1 according to the present invention, the transparent film itself is not provided with information on the PTP sheet 2 and the medicines stored in the PTP sheet 2, but the PTP sheet 2 and the PTP are passed through the transparent film 3. The medicines and capsules stored in the sheet 2 can be visually checked and the information can be confirmed, and the information can be displayed by an information display sheet denoted by reference numeral 8 in the drawing. I have to.
First, the information display sheet 8 is disposed on the inner side of the trunk portion 6 and receives the PTP loaded product 4 by a substantially U-shaped folding in the trunk circumference direction. Since the information display sheet 8 is folded up in a substantially U shape in the waist direction as described above, a portion corresponding to the end seal portion 7 is opened. In the PTP stack 4 disposed inside the information display sheet 8 with the information display sheet 8 surrounded by three sides in the waistline direction, the PTP is placed on the central surface portion 8 a of the information display sheet 8. The sheets 2 are arranged so as to be stacked, and the two opposite sides of the PTP sheet 2 correspond directly to the end seal portion 7 from the open portion 9 of the information display sheet 8 (that is, the portion where the information display sheet 8 does not exist). As shown in the figure, the open portion 9 of the information display sheet 8 and the two opposite sides of the PTP sheet 2 are covered with the transparent film 3 on the end seal portion 7 side.
[0007]
The outer surface of the information display sheet 8 (the surface in contact with the inner surface of the body) is an information display surface 10 and is provided with posted information 11 including information on the handling of the PTP sheet and the medicine stored in the PTP sheet, and is transparent. It is provided so as to be visible through the film 3.
In the information display sheet 8, the outer surface on the one end seal portion 7 side is attached to the inner surface of the body portion 6 as an adhesive portion 12, and the information display sheet 8 is integrated with the transparent film 3. Note that the adhesive portion 12 is widely set, and a part of the area of the information display surface 10 overlaps the area of the adhesive portion 12.
On the other hand, the outer surface on the other end seal portion 7 side of the information display sheet 8 is a non-adhesive portion 13, and the information display sheet 8 and the transparent film 3 are not integrated in this portion. Of course, the information display surface 10 located in the region of the non-adhesive portion 13 can also be visually observed through the transparent film 3.
[0008]
As the information display sheet, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to a predetermined portion of a required sheet after the printing of printed information to form an adhesive portion, or the printed information is printed on a base material and then the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied. It is necessary to form a non-adhesive part by applying adhesive strength inhibitor to a predetermined part, and creating an information display sheet with an adhesive part and a non-adhesive part by various known methods And this information display sheet should just be bonded to the transparent film of a trunk | drum via an adhesion part.
[0009]
A boundary portion 14 between the bonded portion 12 and the non-bonded portion 13 in the information display sheet 8 is linear and extends along the waist direction of the body portion 6. And in the package 1 of this invention, the device which made it easy to divide the trunk | drum 6 along the said boundary part 14 is provided. As shown in the figure, an opening means 15 having two slits (double notches) is provided in the back seal portion 5 of the body portion 6, and this unsealing portion 15 is provided in the back seal portion 5. It is provided at a position close to 13 boundary portions 14. In this way, the opening means 15 is located close to the boundary portion 14 and is positioned corresponding to the non-adhesive portion 13, so that the back seal portion 5 of the opening means 15 is gripped as shown in FIG. If it is pulled in the waist direction, the back seal portion 5 is first cut from the opening means 15 by the width of the interval between the two slits, and the transparent film 3 is cut out from the opening means 15 into a band shape and The transparent film 3 can be cut in the waist direction.
[0010]
When the body portion 6 is cut in the waistline direction as described above, the transparent film 3 on the non-adhesive portion 13 side can be removed, and the region of the non-adhesive portion 13 of the information display sheet 8 is exposed and one open portion 9 is also formed. As a result, the PTP sheet in the PTP stack 4 can be taken out from the open portion 9 of the information display sheet 8, and the PTP sheet can be inserted from the open portion 9.
The exposed portion of the information display sheet 8 that is no longer restrained by the body portion 6 due to the restoring force (force to open the folded information display sheet) generated by the folding operation on the information display sheet 8. 16, each of the side surface portions 8 b raised from the central surface portion 8 a of the information display sheet 8 is inclined outward, and the opening of the open portion 9 is enlarged.
As a result, the PTP sheet 2 can be easily pulled out, and the PTP sheet 2 can be easily inserted into the trunk portion 6 by using the laterally inclined side surface portion 8b of the open portion 9 as a guide. 6 can be included.
[0011]
