Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a packaging form for pharmaceutical products such as tablets and capsules, or foods such as solid seasonings,
The present invention relates to a so-called sheet storage case that holds a so-called press-through pack package sheet and can easily take out contents without taking out the press-through pack package sheet from the case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Press-through packaging (hereinafter referred to as PTP packaging) is a transparent plastic sheet (or plastic film) made of thermoplastic resin, which is recessed into a size of contents by hot air pressure molding or hot vacuum molding. Or, make a small deep-drawing container, fill the container with solid seasonings, foods such as confectionery, pharmaceuticals such as tablets or ampoules, and cover the recessed housing with aluminum foil or a lid material such as a thin rigid plastic sheet. It is a hermetically sealed package and is often used for packaging pharmaceutical tablets, pills, troches, and capsules.

However, with the spread of PTP packaging of pharmaceutical agents, tablets and the like can be taken in a packaged state without being broken, and
In addition, many accidents such as cutting hands at the edge of the PTP packaging sheet during administration have occurred.

In addition to safety, pharmaceuticals are effective,
In order to guarantee the displayability etc., it is required to pay special attention to the protective function of pharmaceutical preparations and packaging materials against quality deterioration. Conventionally, a polyvinyl chloride sheet having excellent transparency and moldability has been mainly used as a base material sheet for molding PTP, but in recent years, unstretched polypropylene sheet, polyethylene terephthalate sheet, etc. have been used because of disposal and the like. There is.

Further, since pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, troches, and capsules have high hygroscopicity, a transparent molded base sheet having a high water vapor barrier property is desired. Therefore, a polyvinyl chloride sheet is coated with polyvinylidene chloride. However, there is a problem that the packaging material cost becomes high.

For this reason, low-cost and low-pollution polypropylene is used, but it is not an optimum base sheet in terms of transparency, moldability, etc., and laminated base sheets are also used. In addition, when the moisture resistance, gas barrier property, light shielding property, etc. of the contents are particularly required, the PTP package is packaged with a predetermined quantity automatic packaging machine in a three-sided or four-sided seal with a packaging material having a high gas barrier property and a light shielding property. Has been done.

Further, as a lid member for sealing the containing portion containing the contents, by pushing the contained contents and the like from the molded body side, the lid member is destroyed and taken out, so that moisture resistance and gas barrier property are provided. A lid material is generally used in which one-sided or double-sided printing is performed on an aluminum foil of 20 to 40 μm which is excellent and has an excellent opening property, and a sealing material such as a heat seal lacquer is applied. In addition, because the lid material emphasizes the protection of the contents and because it is designed so that it cannot be easily broken by children, it is a difficult task for a weak elderly person to push the contents strongly. ing.

[0008] Furthermore, the labeling of drugs in PTP packages of pharmaceutical preparations is currently mainly done by printing the registration mark or symbol of the drug manufacturer or drug number on the molding base material or lid material, and the drug is generally used by ordinary people. The fact is that the drug efficacy, etc. is unknown at all, not to mention the manufacturer and drug name.

[0009] Regarding the pharmaceutical preparations packaged in PTP, as a measure for preventing medical accidents, it is instructed to specify the trade name, standard, content, etc. in an inner bag containing a PTP packaging sheet or the like. However, in many cases, a plurality of drugs are dispensed or prescribed in a pharmacy based on a prescription prescribed by a doctor, and when these plural drugs are enclosed in the same medicine bag and given to the patient, the drug is given to the patient. It is given to the patient after explaining what medicine should be taken and what kind of usage. However, the patient needs to memorize the drug type and dose, etc., but at a later date, it becomes impossible to distinguish the drug type, etc., and a drug accident due to accidental ingestion may occur due to mistaken identification of drugs that are similar in appearance. ing.

Further, a base of a press-through pack package in which a transparent base material sheet is molded to form a recess for accommodating contents, and the opening of the recess is sealed with a lid material having a heat seal layer. A hard plastic sheet is often used as a material, which may cause damage to the hands or the like at the edge of the sheet when it is taken or carried.

Further, when the press-through package is carried, excessive pressure is applied to the recessed portion to cause the contents such as tablets to pop out, or the sealing lid material may be damaged to form a pinhole. The quality may be deteriorated.

[0012]

As described above, the conventional P
The opening of the TP package is difficult for children to avoid accidentally swallowing it, and it is a difficult work for the elderly because the opening portion is strongly pressed and opened. In addition, since a plurality of prescribed drugs are enclosed in the same medicine bag, it is difficult to identify the drugs, and it is difficult to understand how to take the drug and the effects.

For this reason, the aluminum foil, which is the base material of the lid material for sealing the recessed accommodating portion for accommodating the contents, is slightly thickened to form a half-cut line in a shape smaller than the peripheral shape of the accommodating portion of the lid material. It has been proposed to improve the rupture property by applying pressure or the like to the peripheral portion of the accommodating portion.

However, the half-cut line processing requires precision, and if it is processed even deeper, the function of protecting the contents is significantly deteriorated. Also, in order to prevent accidental ingestion, the molded base material sheet is colored, and the shape and color of the drug are changed, but there are too many drugs and the number of similar products is increasing, so confusion occurs when taking them. ing. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to improve the protection of the contents of a PTP package without applying a half-cut line or the like, and The function of preventing accidental ingestion and the protection of the lid material are added, and accidental ingestion is prevented when ingested, and the convenience of being able to easily take out the contents with fingertips even for the elderly and the seat edge when carrying and taking An object of the present invention is to provide a storage case for a PTP package sheet, which is excellent in safety and is free from accidental damage to parts.

[0015]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention according to claim 1 is to form a transparent base material sheet made of a thermoplastic resin into a concave portion capable of containing contents. In a case for storing a sheet of a press-through pack package in which a sheet is formed and the recessed opening is sealed with a lid material having a heat-sealing layer, a predetermined shape is removed from the bottom of the sheet storage case. A sheet storage case of a press-through pack package, wherein a perforation line or a cut line is provided below a peripheral edge of a concave opening region of the press-through pack package.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is the press-through formed by molding the transparent base material sheet made of the thermoplastic resin in the sheet storage case of the press-through pack package according to claim 1. In addition to the recessed opening for accommodating the contents of the pack, one or more recessed pillars of a predetermined shape having a depth equal to or deeper than the depth of the recessed opening are provided. It is a sheet storage case of a through pack package.
