For convenience of explanation, the medicines in the packaging bags shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 mainly show only the medicines in the packaging bag located at the tip, and the other medicines in the packaging bag are omitted. Further, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the packaging bag housed inside the tubular surface portion is simply shown by a two-dot chain line.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medicine bag storage container 1 is formed in a box shape, and a packaging bag band 50 in which a plurality of packaging bags 51 are connected can be stored inside.

The packaging bag band 50 is a series of medicines M to be taken by a patient in a single packaging bag 51. The packaging bag band 50 is made of, for example, a resin material or paper, and has a plurality of packaging bags 51. A plurality of adjacent packaging bags 51 are connected to each other via a cutting line 52 (perforation). For example, the patient can take the medicine M at a time by cutting one packaging bag 51 at the cutting line 52 and taking out the medicine M in the packaging bag 51. The packaging bag 51 has a medication display unit 53 on the surface 51a on which, for example, a patient name, a date, a medication time, and the like are described. The matters described in the medication display unit 53 are not limited to the patient name, date, and medication time. Further, the medication display unit 53 may be a sticker attached to the surface 51a of the packaging bag 51. In addition, in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, and FIG. 7, the medication display unit 53 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

The medicine bag storage container 1 is made of, for example, a resin material, and can store the packaging bag band 50 wound in a roll shape inside. The medicine bag storage container 1 has a peripheral surface portion 10 forming an outer shell, an outlet 20 provided on the peripheral surface portion 10, and a holding portion 30 provided at a position corresponding to the outlet 20.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the peripheral surface portion 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is an opening into which a packaging bag band 50 can be inserted on both end sides in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction of the paper surface of FIGS. 1, 3, and 7). It has a tubular surface portion 11 having 11a and a lid body 12 for closing each opening 11a of the tubular surface portion 11. That is, in the present embodiment, the medicine bag storage container 1 has a tubular surface portion 11 capable of storing the packaging bag band 50 inside, and two lids 12 that close both end sides of the tubular surface portion 11. The two lids 12 have the same shape. Therefore, the medicine bag storage container 1 is assembled with two types and three parts, that is, the tubular surface portion 11 and the lid body 12. The opening 11a and the lid 12 that closes the opening 11a may be provided on at least one of the peripheral surfaces 10 in the longitudinal direction. That is, the medicine bag storage container 1 may be formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in which the tubular surface portion 11 and one lid body 12 are integrated.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tubular surface portion 11 has a length dimension L1 in the longitudinal direction larger than the width dimension L2 of the packaging bag 51 so that the packaging bag band 50 can be stored inside. Further, the tubular surface portion 11 is formed of, for example, a transparent material, and the packaging bag band 50 housed inside can be visually recognized. The tubular surface portion 11 may be decorated with a pattern, a character, or the like for identifying the patient. As a result, it is possible to prevent the patient from being mistaken for another person's medicine in a hospital or a long-term care facility where a plurality of patients are hospitalized.

As shown in FIG. 4, on the opening 11a side of the tubular surface portion 11, a fitting portion 11b for attaching the lid body 12 to the tubular surface portion 11 is formed over the circumferential direction. On the other hand, the lid body 12 is formed with a recess 12a into which the fitting portion 11b is inserted at a position corresponding to the fitting portion 11b. That is, the recess 12a is formed at the outer end of the lid 12 over the circumferential direction.

The lid body 12 is attached to the tubular surface portion 11 by fitting the recess 12a into the fitting portion 11b of the tubular surface portion 11. The depth of the recess 12a corresponds to the length from the outlet 20 to the outer end of the tubular surface portion 11. As a result, when the lid body 12 is attached to the tubular surface portion 11, the tip of the recess 12a comes into contact with the extending portion 31 of the holding portion 30. A recess may be formed in the tubular surface portion 11 and a fitting portion may be formed in the lid body 12. That is, any lid body 12 may be attached as long as it is detachably attached to the tubular surface portion 11.

The lid body 12 is made of, for example, a resin material, and is transparently formed so that the inside of the tubular surface portion 11 can be visually recognized. Here, the packaging bag band 50 is housed inside the tubular surface portion 11 so that the surface 51a of the packaging bag 51 faces the inner surface of the tubular surface portion 11 in a rolled state. As a result, the patient can visually check the packaging bag band 50 housed inside the tubular surface portion 11 from the outside and check the remaining amount of the packaging bag 51 without removing the lid body 12 from the tubular surface portion 11. .. The lid body 12 may be decorated with a pattern, a character, or the like for identifying the patient. As a result, it is possible to prevent the patient from being mistaken for another person's medicine in a hospital or a long-term care facility where a plurality of patients are hospitalized.

The outlet 20 is provided on the tubular surface portion 11. The outlet 20 is an opening for taking out the packaging bag 51 housed inside the tubular surface portion 11 to the outside. Therefore, the outlet 20 communicates between the inside and the outside of the tubular surface portion 11. The outlet 20 is formed between two lids 12 attached to the tubular surface portion 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, the length dimension L3 in the longitudinal direction of the outlet 20 is formed to be larger than the width dimension L2 of the packaging bag 51 and smaller than the length dimension L1 in the longitudinal direction of the tubular surface portion 11 ( L2 <L3 <L1). Further, the circumferential length dimension L4 of the outlet 20 is formed to have a length that allows the packaging bag 51 to be taken out from the outlet 20. That is, the circumferential length dimension L4 of the outlet 20 is formed in consideration of the thickness of the medicine M stored inside the packaging bag 51.

The holding portion 30 is provided on the tubular surface portion 11. Specifically, the holding portion 30 extends from the tubular surface portion 11 of the peripheral surface portion 10 at a position corresponding to the outlet 20. The sandwiching portion 30 is adhered to, for example, the tubular surface portion 11. The sandwiching portion 30 may be incorporated into the tubular surface portion 11 by a joining member such as a pin. The sandwiching portion 30 sandwiches the packaging bag 51 with the tubular surface portion 11.

The sandwiching portion 30 is made of a resin material such as silicone or rubber, and has a lower rigidity than the tubular surface portion 11 (peripheral surface portion 10). In this case, the sandwiching portion 30 may be made of a material softer than the tubular surface portion 11, or may be thinner than the tubular surface portion 11. That is, the holding portion 30 is more easily deformed than the tubular surface portion 11. Then, the holding portion 30 is located above the outlet 20 and extends outward so as to be away from the tubular surface portion 11, and the tip 31a of the extending portion 31 is directed toward the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. It has a pressing portion 32 that extends and presses the packaging bag 51 against the tubular surface portion 11.

The extension portion 31 extends upward from the outlet 20 from one side end portion 20a of the outlet 20 located on the upstream side in the flow direction of the packaging bag band 50 when the packaging bag band 50 is pulled out from the outlet 20. There is. The extending portion 31 extends beyond the other side end portion 20b of the outlet 20 whose tip end 31a side faces the one side end portion 20a to the upper side of the tubular surface portion 11. That is, the extending portion 31 covers the outside of the outlet 20. As a result, the extending portion 31 can suppress the intrusion of water or the like from, for example, the outlet 20. The other side end portion 20b may be, for example, a curved surface having no corner portion. As a result, the packaging bag band 50 can be smoothly taken out from the outlet 20.

The extending portion 31 forms a gap S between the outlet 20 and the tubular surface portion 11. The gap S is a passage for taking out the packaging bag band 50 from the inside of the tubular surface portion 11 to the outside. The extending portion 31 is formed of, for example, a transparent material. As a result, the state when the packaging bag band 50 is pulled out from the outlet 20 can be confirmed, so that the ease of taking out the packaging bag band 50 can be improved. Further, since the patient can visually recognize the medication display portion 53 of the packaging bag 51 through the extension portion 31, the patient can confirm the time of the next medicine to be taken without removing the lid body 12 from the tubular surface portion 11. be able to.

The pressing portion 32 projects from the tip end 31a of the extending portion 31 toward the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. The pressing portion 32 sandwiches the packaging bag 51 with the tubular surface portion 11 to prevent the packaging bag 51 from falling back into the tubular surface portion 11. Further, the pressing portion 32 presses the next packaging bag 51 when the packaging bag 51 is cut from the packaging bag band 50.

Specifically, when the packaging bag 51 to be used is pulled, the packaging bag 51 is pulled out while sliding between the pressing portion 32 and the tubular surface portion 11, and the medicine M in the packaging bag 51 is pulled out while sliding between the pressing portion 32 and the tubular surface portion 11. Contact the side. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the packaging bag 51 can be pulled out while deforming the extending portion 31 in the direction F indicated by the thickness of the medicine M. When the medicine M comes off from the pressing portion 32, the packaging bag 51 is sandwiched between the cylinder surface portion 11 and the urging force of the extending portion 31. When the medicine M passes between the pressing portion and the tubular surface portion 11, the pressing portion 32 may be elastically deformed without deforming the extending portion 31.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the patient pulls out the packaging bag 51 to be used until the cutting line 52 comes out of the holding portion 32. After that, by pressing the extending portion 31, the pressing portion 32 can press the next packaging bag 51 and separate the packaging bag 51 to be used from the packaging bag band 50 by the cutting line 52. Then, even if the patient releases his / her finger from the extension portion 31, the pressing portion 32 presses the tip end side of the next packaging bag 51 against the tubular surface portion 11 to hold the next packaging bag 51.

Therefore, the pressing portion 32 is pressed with a predetermined force toward, for example, the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. In other words, the pressing portion 32 is pressed toward the tubular surface portion 11 by the urging force of the extending portion 31. This pressing force suppresses the force that the packaging bag 51 does not tear, the force that the medicine M in the packaging bag 51 does not crack, and the force that the packaging bag 51 does not fall back into the tubular surface portion 11 when the packaging bag band 50 is pulled out. It is set to the force that can be done. That is, the pressing force and shape of the pressing portion 32 take into consideration the strength, weight, etc. of the packaging bag 51 and the medicine M so as to satisfy both the ease of taking out the packaging bag band 50 and the holding of the packaging bag 51, for example. It is set by experiment, simulation, etc.

The pressing portion 32 extends, for example, the tip 31a of the extending portion 31 along the longitudinal direction. However, the pressing portion 32 is not limited to this, and for example, a plurality of pressing portions 32 may be provided at the tip 31a of the extending portion 31 at a predetermined interval, and the pressing portion 32 may be provided at the tip 31a of the extending portion 31. It may be provided individually. For example, by providing the pressing portions 32 on both ends in the longitudinal direction of the extending portion 31, the medicine M can be passed between the pressing portions 32 at both ends, so that the packaging bag band 50 can be smoothly pulled out.

The cutout portion 33 is provided on the tip end side of the holding portion 30. Specifically, the notch 33 is located at the center of the extension 31 in the longitudinal direction, and is recessed from the tip 31a of the extension 31. As shown in FIG. 3, the notch 33 is formed so as to have a length dimension L5 in the longitudinal direction so that a finger can be inserted. Thereby, for example, the patient can insert a finger into the notch 33 and pull out the packaging bag band 50 even if the amount of protrusion of the packaging bag 51 protruding from the holding portion 32 is small. In the present embodiment, the case where one notch 33 is provided has been described as an example, but a plurality of notches 33 may be provided.

The medicine display unit 100 is provided on the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. The medicine display portion 100 is, for example, a sticker attached to the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. The medicine display unit 100 may be printed directly on the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11. The drug display unit 100 describes matters specified in the Pharmacists Act and the Ordinance of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, such as the patient name, the usage of the drug M, the dose, the dispensing date, and the name of the pharmacist. Thereby, for example, a pharmacy or a hospital can prescribe the medicine M to the patient with the packaging bag band 50 stored inside the medicine bag storage container 1. Therefore, since the patient does not have to store the packaging bag band 50 inside the medicine bag storage container 1, the troublesomeness can be reduced.

The medicine bag storage container 1 according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, and then a method of using the medicine bag storage container 1 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 7A, first, the tubular surface portion 11 of the plate-shaped body as shown in FIG. 8 is rolled and the fitting portion 11b on one side is fitted into the recess 12a of the lid body 12 to form a cylindrical shape. The tubular surface portion 11 of the above can be formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the packaging bag band 50 is wound in a roll shape with the packaging bag 51 to be taken last located on the innermost side, and the packaging bag band 50 is wound on the other side of the tubular surface portion 11. It is inserted into the inside of the tubular surface portion 11 through the opening portion 11a of. Then, the packaging bag 51 located on the most tip side (first dosed) is taken out from the outlet 20 to the outside of the tubular surface portion 11, and the tip end side of the packaging bag 51 is placed between the pressing portion 32 and the tubular surface portion 11. Sandwich. Finally, the lid body 12 is attached to the tubular surface portion 11 by fitting the recess 12a of the lid body 12 into the fitting portion 11b on the other side of the tubular surface portion 11.

The packaging bag band 50 stored in the medicine bag storage container 1 can, for example, take out the packaging bag 51 in which a plurality of medicines M are packaged one by one in the order of administration. Here, in the above-mentioned prior art (Patent Document 1), the packaging bag is housed inside in a state of being wrapped around a core material. Therefore, the conventional medicine bag storage container requires an empty packaging bag between the core material and the outlet when the last few bags of the packaging bag are taken out from the outlet of the medicine bag storage container, which increases the cost. There is a risk of doing so. Further, since the packaging bag only hangs down from the outlet, the packaging bag may fall inside the medicine bag storage container when the medicine bag storage container falls down or the medicine bag storage container is carried.

Further, in the other prior art described above (Patent Document 2), an elastic support that elastically contacts the pressure plate that is pressed when the packaging bag is cut is provided inside the container. Then, the packaging bag is sandwiched between the elastic support and the pressure plate, so that the packaging bag is prevented from returning to the inside of the case. However, since the packaging bag is sandwiched by the base end side of the pressure plate, it may not be possible to sandwich the last packaging bag, for example, when the length of the packaging bag is short. Therefore, even in such a case, an empty packaging bag is required after the last packaging bag, which may increase the cost.

Therefore, the medicine bag storage container 1 according to the present embodiment has a peripheral surface portion 10 forming an outer shell, an outlet 20 for taking out the packaging bag 51 provided on the peripheral surface portion 10 and stored inside, and an outlet 20. It has a holding portion 30 extending from the peripheral surface portion 10 at a corresponding position and sandwiching the packaging bag 51 with the peripheral surface portion 10, and the sandwiching portion 30 is located above the outlet 20 and is outside the peripheral surface portion 10. It has an extension portion 31 extending toward the surface and a pressing portion 32 that slidably presses the packaging bag 51 at the tip end 31a of the extension portion 31.

As a result, the management of the drug M can be improved and the cost can be reduced. For example, the last packaging bag 51 can be taken out without providing a core material around which the packaging bag 51 is wound inside the medicine bag storage container 1. Further, it is not necessary to use an unnecessary packaging bag for taking out the last packaging bag 51. Therefore, the cost can be reduced.

Further, since it is not necessary to provide a core material or the like for holding the packaging bag 51 inside the medicine bag storage container 1, a sufficient number of packaging bags 51 can be stored even if the medicine bag storage container 1 is miniaturized. Further, since the holding portion 30 holds the packaging bag 51 between the packaging bag 51 and the peripheral surface portion 10, for example, when carrying the medicine bag storage container 1, it is possible to prevent the packaging bag 51 from falling back into the medicine bag storage container 1.

Further, the peripheral surface portion 10 forms an outer shell of the medicine bag storage container 1, and is composed of a tubular surface portion 11 and two lids 12. The tubular surface portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has an opening 11a into which a packaging bag band 50 can be inserted in at least one of the longitudinal directions. The lid body 12 closes the opening 11a of the tubular surface portion 11. The tubular surface portion 11 is provided with an outlet 20 and a holding portion 30. The outlet 20 is an opening for taking out the packaging bag 51 housed inside the tubular surface portion 11. The sandwiching portion 30 sandwiches the packaging bag 51 with the tubular surface portion 11 to hold the packaging bag 51.

As a result, the medicine bag storage container 1 can be easily held, so that the ease of taking out the packaging bag 51 can be improved. Further, since the tubular surface portion 11 is provided with the outlet 20 and the holding portion 30, it is possible to stack the plurality of medicine bag storage containers 1 by positioning the lid body 12 in the vertical direction. Therefore, many medicine bag storage containers 1 can be stored in a narrow space even in a facility having a plurality of patients such as a hospital or a long-term care facility.

Further, the lid body 12 is made of a material or shape whose inside can be seen, and is, for example, transparent or has slits formed therein. As a result, the remaining amount of the packaging bag 51 housed inside the tubular surface portion 11 can be confirmed without removing the lid 12 from the tubular surface portion 11. That is, by looking at the packaging bag band 50 wound in a roll shape inside the tubular surface portion 11, the remaining amount of the packaging bag 51 can be intuitively recognized.

Further, the holding portion 30 has a lower rigidity than the peripheral surface portion 10 (cylindrical surface portion 11). As a result, even if the packaging bag 51 or the medicine M comes into contact with the holding portion 30 when the packaging bag 51 is pulled out, it is possible to prevent the packaging bag 51 or the medicine M from being damaged. Further, when the packaging bag 51 is separated from the packaging bag band 50, the holding portion 30 can be pressed against the peripheral surface portion 10 to efficiently press the next packaging bag 51.

Further, the sandwiching portion 30 has an extending portion 31 located above the outlet 20 and extending outward so as to be separated from the peripheral surface portion 10 (cylindrical surface portion 11), and the peripheral surface portion 10 (from the tip of the extending portion 31). It has a pressing portion 32 that extends toward the outer surface 11c of the tubular surface portion 11) and presses the packaging bag 51 against the peripheral surface portion 10 (cylindrical surface portion 11).

As a result, the contact area of the packaging bag 51 with the holding portion 32 is as small as possible. Therefore, the ease of taking out the packaging bag 51 can be improved. Further, when the packaging bag 51 is pulled out, the medicine M in the packaging bag 51 is once caught in the holding portion 32, so that it is possible to prevent an unnecessarily large number of packaging bags 51 from being pulled out. That is, when the medicine M comes into contact with the inner surface side of the pressing portion 32, the resistance of the packaging bag 51 pulled out before the cutting line 52 passes through the pressing portion 32 increases. Therefore, the patient can feel that the cutting line 52 of the packaging bag 51 to be used comes out of the holding portion 32.

Further, when the tip end side of the packaging bag 51 is held by the pressing portion 32, most of the packaging bag 51 is located in the gap S, so that the packaging bag 51 is protected from the outside by the extending portion 31. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the packaging bag 51 from being damaged by an impact from the outside or being contaminated by water. Further, for example, by making the extension portion 31 transparent, the medication display portion 53 of the packaging bag 51 can be confirmed even if the medication display portion 53 is in the gap S, so that it is possible to suppress forgetting to take the medicine M. ..

Further, as another usage mode, for example, the packaging bag 51 to be used next may be taken out from the holding portion 32. In such a case, when the packaging bag 51 tries to return to the inside of the tubular surface portion 11, the medicine M inside the packaging bag 51 comes into contact with the outer surface of the pressing portion 32. Therefore, the holding portion 32 restricts the packaging bag 51 from moving further inside the tubular surface portion 11. As a result, it is possible to prevent the packaging bag 51 from falling back into the tubular surface portion 11 when carrying the medicine bag storage container 1, for example.

Further, the sandwiching portion 30 has a notched portion 33 notched in a concave shape at the tip of the extending portion 31. As a result, the packaging bag 51 can be pulled out from the notch 33 even if the amount of protrusion of the packaging bag 51 protruding from the holding portion 32 is small. Therefore, the notch 33 can improve the ease of pulling out the packaging bag 51.

FIG. 8 is an unfolded view showing the medicine bag storage container in an unfolded manner. FIG. 8 shows the inner surface side of the tubular surface portion 11.
As shown in FIG. 8, the medicine bag storage container 1 can be an assembly kit formed of two types and three members of a tubular surface portion 11 having a holding portion 30 and two lid bodies 12. Here, for example, when the tubular surface portion 11 is molded as a tubular body in a factory or the like, the tubular body is bulky, so that there is a risk that the cost will increase to mail many tubular surface portions 11.

Therefore, the tubular surface portion 11 may be formed of, for example, a flexible material having flexibility. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the tubular surface portion 11 can be formed into a plate-like body in a state before being assembled to the lid body 12. The medicine bag storage container 1 is an assembly kit formed by a small number of parts (2 types, 3 members).
