Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-8535

  Usually, a plurality of (for example, 10) medicines are accommodated in one PTP packaging sheet so as to accommodate a plurality of medicines (for example, 10 medicines). The PTP packaging sheet is formed with division lines such as perforations so that a small number of pharmaceutical sheet pieces can be cut off. On the other hand, the PTP wrapping sheet generally has only a thickness corresponding to the size of the medicine, and a small amount of the PTP wrapping sheet for a medicine has a small amount of protrusion of the accommodation portion. Therefore, the PTP packaging sheet has a problem in that the separated piece of the PTP packaging sheet is difficult to grasp because it is thin and small.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the difficulty of grasping a PTP packaging sheet.

In order to achieve the above object, one embodiment of the present invention provides:
A first sheet body having an accommodation portion,
A second sheet member joined to the first sheet member to form a storage space for storing a medicine between the first sheet member and the storage portion;
On at least one side of the first sheet body and the second sheet body, a protrusion protruding in a thickness direction is formed,
Provide a PTP packaging sheet.

  Preferably, a plurality of accommodation portions and a plurality of knob protrusions are formed on the first sheet body side, and the knob protrusions have a length in the thickness direction exceeding the accommodation portion. .

  The number of the plurality of housing portions may be the same as the number of the plurality of knob protrusions.

  According to the above aspect of the present invention, since the above-described configuration is provided, it is possible to improve the difficulty of grasping the PTP packaging sheet.

It is a perspective view of the PTP packaging sheet concerning one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an arbitrary one storage portion and a corresponding pick-up protrusion in the PTP packaging sheet of FIG. 1. It is the figure which represented the sheet piece of the PTP packaging sheet of FIG. 1, (a) is a figure of the sheet piece of two tablets, (b) is the figure of the sheet piece of one tablet. (A)-(d) is a figure which shows the modification of the PTP packaging sheet of FIG. 1, respectively. (A) is a diagram of a PTP packaging sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention, and (b) is a diagram of a sheet piece of one tablet.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same components (or configurations) are denoted by the same reference numerals, and have the same names and functions. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a PTP packaging sheet (hereinafter, PTP sheet) 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The PTP sheet 10 is for packaging tablets M of 10 tablets. The PTP sheet 10 is a thin sheet as shown in FIG. The medicine that can be stored in the PTP sheet of the present invention is not limited to the tablet M, but may be, for example, a capsule.

  The PTP sheet 10 includes a first sheet member 12 and a second sheet member 14. The second sheet member 14 is joined to the first sheet member 12 and is integrated with the first sheet member 12.

  The first sheet body 12 can be a sheet made of various synthetic resins, and is a plastic sheet here. The first sheet member 12 has a certain degree of flexibility, and can be easily deformed particularly by the force of a finger of a human hand (that is, by a force equal to or more than a predetermined force). The first sheet body 12 may be transparent, translucent or opaque, but is preferably transparent or translucent. Further, the first sheet member 12 may have various colors, and may have a colorful color. The first sheet member 12 includes a pocket-shaped or concave-shaped receiving portion 16. The storage section 16 has a size that allows the tablet M to be completely inserted therein. Further, the storage section 16 has a shape suitable for the tablet M. Here, since the tablet M is substantially disc-shaped, it has a truncated cone shape. For example, when the tablet M has an elongated shape, the container 16 can also have an elongated shape. The first sheet body has a plurality of storage portions 16 and a flat sheet-like portion 18 connecting the storage portions 16 to each other at a peripheral portion thereof. In the PTP sheet 10, as shown in FIG. 1, ten accommodation sections 16 are provided in two rows. However, this does not limit the number and the arrangement of the storage units 16. For example, the number of the housing portions 16 in one PTP sheet 10 may be 12 or 14, but may be one. In addition, the first sheet body 12 may be substantially formed of only one housing portion 16.

  The second sheet body 14 can be produced by bonding a metal such as an aluminum foil, a synthetic resin such as a plastic, and / or a paper material, and is a substantially flat sheet including an aluminum foil layer here. The second sheet member 14 is attached to the first sheet member 12 with an adhesive or the like so as to close the housing portion 16. The second sheet member 14 is attached to the first sheet member 12, thereby forming an accommodation space S for accommodating the tablet M between the second sheet member 14 and the accommodation part 16. The portion 14a (see FIG. 1) of the second sheet member 14 that partially defines the accommodation space S is formed as a film portion that can be easily broken by a nail or a finger of a human hand. In FIG. 1, a part of the PTP sheet 10 is broken, and one storage space S is opened, so that the rest of the tablets M stored therein is exposed. Note that the second sheet member 14 may be formed only of the film portion 14a.

  In the PTP sheet 10 having the above configuration, as described above, the ten housing sections 16 are provided in two rows. A perforation 20 as a dividing line is provided so that two tablets M can be made into one set. The reason why the perforation for dividing the tablet into tablets is not provided is to prevent, for example, accidental ingestion of the separated PTP sheet piece (hereinafter, sheet piece) 22. However, it is possible to separate the PTP sheet 10 one tablet at a time other than by using the scissors or the like at a portion other than the storage portion 16 to separate the tablets.

  Now, the separated sheet piece 22 is small and thin. Of course, depending on the size of the tablet M, the sheet piece 22 may have a certain size and thickness. However, tablets M are generally small, and there are quite a few even less than 1 cm in width that can have a maximum length. Therefore, when the sheet piece 22 is placed on a flat surface such as a desk, a user such as a patient tries to pinch the sheet piece 22 by sandwiching the accommodating portion 16 between the thumb and the index finger of the hand. Is difficult to handle because it is difficult to pick or grasp. For example, when picking up the sheet piece 22, the user slides the sheet piece 22 to the end of the desk on which the sheet piece 22 is placed, and places the sheet piece 22 on the palm from that end. In this case, the sheet piece 22 can be easily taken out because of the end of the desk, but it is difficult to grasp or take out the sheet piece 22 when there is no portion such as the end.

  Therefore, the PTP sheet 10 is provided with the knob protruding portion 30. The knob protrusion 30 is a thin section here, and more specifically, a wing-shaped section. The knob protruding portions 30 are provided in a number corresponding to the number of the housing portions 16. In other words, the number of the plurality of picking protruding portions 30 is the same as the number of the plurality of accommodating portions 16 corresponding to the number of medicines here. As shown in FIG. 1, each of the knob protrusions 30 is disposed immediately beside the corresponding accommodating portion 16.

  The knob protruding portion 30 is configured as a part of the first sheet body 12, and is formed of the above-described material. However, the knob protrusion 30 may be manufactured separately from the first sheet body 12 and attached to the first sheet body. The knob protruding portion 30 may be made of a material other than the material of the first sheet body 12, and may be made of a material such as rubber.

  When defining the virtual surface IS extending substantially parallel to the PTP sheet 10 along the PTP sheet 10, the pick protrusion 30 protrudes from the sheet-like portion 18 to the same side as the storage portion 16 in the thickness direction TD orthogonal to the virtual surface IS. To extend. Further, when the line L orthogonal to the plurality of perforations 20 is set at the center of the PTP sheet 10, the knob protrusion 30 is shaped such that the protrusion amount increases as the line L moves away from the line L. As shown in FIG. 2, with respect to the amount of protrusion in the thickness direction TD from the virtual surface IS, the maximum amount of protrusion of the knob protrusion 30, that is, the length 30 D, is longer than the amount of protrusion of the housing 16, that is, the length 16 D. . However, the present invention does not exclude a form in which the maximum protrusion amount 30D of the knob protrusion 30 is shorter than the protrusion amount 16D of the housing portion 16. In addition, the knob protruding part 30 is separated from the accommodation part 16, but may be provided continuously to the accommodation part 16.

  As described above, since the PTP sheet 10 is provided with the above-described knob protrusions 30 for each of the housing portions 16, for example, the sheet piece 22a having two tablets shown in FIG. 30. In addition, the sheet piece 22b having one tablet and shown in FIG. Therefore, when the user grasps or takes out the PTP sheet 10 or the sheet pieces 22a and 22b, the user can easily grasp and grasp or take out one or a plurality of the knob protrusions 30. Note that the picking projection 30 has a protruding amount of a certain degree or more as described above and is in the shape of a flake, so that it is easy to pick.

  In the above-described embodiment, the knob protrusion 30 is provided on the first sheet body 12 of the PTP sheet 10. May be provided at various places on the second sheet body side.

  FIG. 4 shows a part of each of the PTP sheets 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d as modified examples of the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment. In the PTP sheet 10a shown in FIG. 4A, the knob protruding portion 30a is formed integrally with the accommodating portion 16, has a substantially rectangular shape with a constant protruding amount, and has a protruding amount as a whole. It differs from the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment in that it is larger than the projecting amount of the housing part, and the other points are the same. In the PTP sheet 10b of FIG. 4B, the knob protrusion 30b is formed integrally with the housing portion 16 and has a substantially rectangular shape with a constant protrusion amount, and the protrusion amount of the knob protrusion 30b. Is different from the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment in that it is substantially the same as the protrusion amount of the housing portion 16, and is the same in other respects. In the PTP sheet 10c of FIG. 4C, the knob protrusion 30c is formed integrally with the housing portion 16, and the protrusion amount of the housing portion 16 is substantially equal to the protrusion amount of the housing portion on which the protrusion amount of the knob protrusion 30c is associated. It is the same as the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment in that it is the smallest and becomes larger as the distance from the housing part increases, and is the same in other respects. The PTP sheet 10c shown in FIG. 4C is different from the PTP sheet 10b shown in FIG. 4B only in the shape of the knob protrusion, and the shape of the knob protrusion 30c is the PTP of the first embodiment. It is almost the same as that of the picking protrusion 30 of the sheet 10. Also in the PTP sheet 10a of FIG. 4A, as in the case of the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment, the knob protrusion 30a has a larger protrusion amount toward the outside of the PTP sheet. Can be changed to In the PTP sheet 10d of FIG. 4D, the knob protrusion 30d has an elongated rod shape, extends so as to protrude toward the first sheet body 12 in the thickness direction TD, and the amount of protrusion is equal to the protrusion of the housing portion. It is different from the PTP sheet 10 of the first embodiment in that it is larger than the amount, and is otherwise the same. As described above, in the PTP sheet according to the present invention, when the knob projecting portion is provided on the first sheet body side of the PTP sheet, the thin projecting portion can be formed separately from the accommodation portion or integrally with the accommodation portion. Even if it has various shapes other than the shape, the protrusion amount may be larger, the same, or even smaller than the protrusion amount of the housing portion. The picking protrusions may have various configurations that improve the ease of picking or gripping the PTP sheet or sheet piece. In addition, the place where the knob protrusion is provided is not limited to being generally outside the corresponding accommodating section, but may be inside, and may be set at various places. In addition, the knob protruding portion may be provided in common for the plurality of housing portions.

  FIG. 5A shows a PTP sheet 110 according to another embodiment in which a plurality of supporting protrusions (hereinafter, support protrusions) 40 are provided on the second sheet body 14 side. The support protrusions 40 may be, for example, columnar or prismatic, and are provided for each housing 16. The entire PTP sheet 110 can be supported by the plurality of supporting protrusions 40. In the case of FIG. 5A, since most of the PTP sheet 110 is separated from the mounting surface T such as a desk by the plurality of support protrusions 40, a person hooks the PTP sheet 110 with the pad of a finger of the hand. It can be easily taken. The support protrusion 40 can also exert an effect of improving the difficulty in grasping the sheet piece 122 of the PTP sheet 110, as is clear from FIG. 5B. The support protrusion 40 can be changed to have the same shape as any of the above-described knob protrusions 30, 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d, for example.

  The above-described embodiment and its modified examples are merely examples, and the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the gist thereof. The means or configurations described in the present disclosure can be implemented in any combination as long as no technical contradiction occurs. For example, one PTP sheet may include both the knob protrusion 30 and the support protrusion 40.
