Description

The present invention relates to a secondary package that holds a PTP package containing a drug.

Conventionally, a package called PTP (Press Through Package) has been used as a package for containing a drug such as a medicinal tablet or a capsule. The PTP package generally includes an accommodating portion in which the drug is accommodating and a sealing material that closes the internal space of the accommodating portion. When such a PTP package is used, the drug is pushed out of the container by pressing the tablet inside from the outside of the container to break through the encapsulant.

Normally, the drug extruded from the PTP package needs to be received by hand or the like. At this time, the drug may spill out of the hand or the like due to reasons such as the extruded drug rolling or the drug popping out vigorously when the drug is extruded. Drugs that fail to be received may fall into an unclean environment such as the floor or ground, which may contaminate the drug. This problem is particularly serious with drugs for delivery to patients with weakened immunity.

In order to solve such a problem, a means for reliably receiving the drug extruded from the PTP package has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a packaging container in which a PTP sheet is sandwiched between a front surface side holding piece and a back surface side holding piece, and a saucer member is internally fitted in a drop hole of the back surface side holding piece. Further, in Patent Document 2, a PTP sheet is attached, and a through hole for dropping an contained substance such as a drug extruded from the PTP sheet into an internal space and an outlet for taking out the contained substance dropped into the internal space are provided. A packaging box provided with a box body is disclosed.
These packaging containers or packaging boxes are configured so that when the contents such as chemicals on the PTP sheet are extruded, the contents fall into the saucer member or the inside of the box. With such a configuration, the contents such as a drug can be received in the saucer member.

However, in the packaging containers of Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the PTP sheet is fixed so as to cover the upper surface of the saucer member or the box body, after the contents such as the drug are extruded from the PTP sheet, the saucer member or the box In order to take out the contents in the body, it is necessary to prepare a separate take-out port.
Specifically, the packaging container of Patent Document 1 is provided with an outlet at the end of the saucer member, and this outlet covers the end after extruding the contents such as a drug from the PTP sheet. It is exposed by opening the lid member or sliding the saucer member. However, in such a packaging container, there is a problem that the take-out port becomes narrow due to the structure that it is necessary to provide a space for taking out the medicine separately from the space for pushing out the medicine. Therefore, when taking out the extruded contents, it is necessary to turn the container over and roll out the contents from the small outlet, and when receiving the rolled contents by hand, it is easy to spill from the hand etc. There is a problem such as.
Further, the packaging container of Patent Document 2 is provided with an outlet on the side of the box body, and the extruded contents pass through the outlet when or after the contents are extruded from the PTP sheet. There is a problem that it may spill out of the saucer member or the box body.

In view of the above problems and the like, the present invention provides a secondary package in which the drug contained in the PTP sheet can be easily and surely taken out, whereby the drug can be safely used. Make it an issue.

The secondary package according to the present invention is a secondary package containing a drug, and includes a container having an upwardly open receiving space and a lid connected to the container. The lid body comprises a lid plate holding a PTP package in which the storage portion containing the drug is bulged, and the lid plate is rotated by a hinge structure to move above the receiving space. It is possible to take an open state of opening and a closed state of covering the upper part of the receiving space. When the lid plate is closed, the accommodating portion of the PTP package is bulged upward. It is a secondary package that is located above the receiving space and can push the drug from the containing part of the PTP package into the receiving space of the container by pressing the containing part from above.

According to such a configuration, the secondary package of the present invention can open and close the container with a relatively simple structure by rotating the lid plate holding the PTP package with a hinge structure. Further, in the secondary package of the present invention, in a state where the lid is closed, the receiving space is surely closed by pressing the accommodating portion of the PTP package held by the lid from above.

Further, in the secondary package according to the present invention, the lid may be detachably connected to the container, and preferably the lid is detachably connected to the container. According to such a configuration, the healthcare professional records that the patient has taken the drug by removing the lid after the patient has taken the drug and collecting the lid after the drug has been removed. Can be left.

At this time, preferably, the lid has a binding hole for use in medication management. According to such a configuration, the medical staff does not need to process the lid removed from the secondary package by passing the ring or the like through the binding hole provided in the lid, and the medication management consisting of the ring file or the like is required. It will be possible to bind directly to the ledger. Therefore, it becomes easy to manage the medication of the patient.

Further, in the secondary package according to the present invention, preferably, the container is a plurality of side walls formed by bending a part of a sheet-shaped base material into a tubular shape, and the storage space as a whole is formed. A plurality of side walls are provided, and the plurality of side walls are formed with a first side wall having an insert piece, a groove engaging with the insert piece, and a notch connecting with the groove. It comprises at least a second side wall, the second side wall being connected to the first side wall by inserting the insert into the groove and into the notch, the notch being downward. It is an inclined side toward the first side wall as it goes toward, and when the insertion piece is inserted into the notch, it is inserted at a position farther from the first side wall than the connection portion between the groove and the notch. It has an inclined side that can guide the tip downward while being in contact with the tip of the piece, and does not hinder the movement of the sheet-like substrate in the notch while the tip is being guided. It has a large space.
According to such a configuration, when the insertion piece of the first side wall is inserted into the notch in the case of assembling the container, the insertion piece is located at a position away from the first side wall from the connection portion between the groove and the notch. Since it abuts on the hypotenuse of the notch, the insert can be easily inserted into the groove and notch formed in the second side wall. Further, since the inserted piece inserted in the notch is guided by the hypotenuse of the notch and returned to the first side wall side, the angle of the inserted piece inserted in the notch becomes relatively upright, and the groove and the groove It is engaged with the insert piece. Therefore, the side wall surrounding the receiving space of the container can be relatively easily assembled, and the strength against the force from above the manufactured container can be improved.

Further, in the secondary package according to the present invention, the height of the accommodating portion in the bulging direction is preferably smaller than the height of the container in the vertical direction. According to such a configuration, the accommodating portion of the PTP package is less likely to be impacted, and in particular, when the lid plate is opened wide, the accommodating portion collides with the desk on which the container is placed or an obstacle around it. It has the advantage of being less susceptible to impact.
Further, when the secondary package in which the lid plate is open and the accommodating portion of the PTP package held by the lid plate is bulging downward is accommodated in a tubular package accommodating case or an outer box. In the case, since it is possible to prevent the accommodating portion from colliding with the inner wall of the package accommodating case or the outer box, the accommodating portion can be easily accommodated.

The notched portions 14e, 14e and 15e, 15e have a substantially inverted triangular pyramid shape with the bottom plate 11 side as the apex. The cutout portions 14e, 14e and 15e, 15e are useful portions when assembling the container 10 of the present embodiment, and their actions will be described later.

The grooves 14d, 15d and the notches 14e, 15e adjacent to the rear wall 13 are also portions into which the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20, which will be described later, is inserted.

A lid 20 is connected to the container 10. In this embodiment, the lid 20 is detachably connected to the container 10. Therefore, the lid 20 can be removed after the patient has taken the drug and used for medication management described later.
The lid 20 is assembled by bending a thick paper having a plan shape corresponding to the developed view shown in FIG. 10 and sandwiching the PTP package 30 inside. Hereinafter, before the lid 20 is described in detail, the PTP package 30 held by the lid 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

The PTP package 30 has an accommodating portion 31 having a substantially hemispherical surface that bulges, and a sheet-shaped flange portion 32 extending outward from the peripheral edge of the accommodating portion 31. The drug C is stored in the storage space inside the storage portion 31, and the storage space is sealed by the sealing material 35.
The base material forming the accommodating portion 31 and the flange portion 32 is, for example, a resin material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), or aluminum is attached to these resin materials. It can be formed from a combination of materials and the like.
The encapsulant 35 is made of a material having a strength that can be pierced by pressing the drug C, and may be formed of, for example, aluminum foil, glassine paper, a synthetic resin film, or a laminate thereof. can.

Returning to the lid 20, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the lid 20 includes a rectangular lid plate 21 that sandwiches and holds the PTP package 30. Specifically, the lid plate 21 is composed of a front surface plate 21a and a back surface plate 21b, and the front surface plate 21a and the back surface plate 21b have substantially the same rectangular shape in which the window holes 22a and 22b are formed in substantially the center, respectively. be. In the present embodiment, the front surface plate 21a and the back surface plate 21b are connected to each other via a fold line 21c, and the front surface plate 21a and the back surface plate 21b are formed by being bent by about 180 ° at the fold line 21c. They are superposed (via the PTP package 30).
The lid plate 21 sandwiches the flange portion 32 of the PTP package 30 between the front plate 21a and the back plate 21b in a state where the accommodating portion 31 of the PTP package 30 is inflated to the outside through the window hole 22a. keeping. At this time, the sealing material 35 is exposed from the window hole 22b.
The size of the lid plate 21 is such that it can cover the upper part of the receiving space S of the container 10 when it is placed on the container 10. Specifically, the width of the lid plate 21 in the front-rear direction is preferably larger than the length between the inner side surface plate 12b of the front wall 12 of the container 10 and the inner side surface plate 13b of the rear wall 13, and the left and right sides of the lid plate 21. The width in the direction is preferably larger than the length between the inner side surface plate 14b of the right wall 14 of the container 10 and the inner side surface plate 15b of the left wall 15.

The insertion piece 28 is connected to the lid plate 21. Specifically, one side of the lid plate 21 and the insertion piece 28 is connected to each other via a crease line 25 (hinge structure 25).

An insertion piece 28 is connected to one side of the lid plate 21 via a crease line 25. That is, in the lid body 20, the lid plate 21 and the insertion piece 28 are connected to each other via the crease line 25, and can be bent along the crease line 25. Specifically, the lid 20 can be bent along the crease line 25 so that the angle between the lid plate 21 and the insertion piece 28 can be about ± 90 °.
The insertion piece 28 is a portion to be inserted into the grooves 14d and 15d of the container 10 when the lid 20 is connected to the container 10. Therefore, the width of the insertion piece 28 (the length in the extending direction of the crease line 25) is substantially the same as the length (in the left-right direction) of the rear wall 13, or is slightly short enough to be inserted into the grooves 14d and 15d. ..

A binding hole 29 is formed in a substantially central portion of the insertion piece 28. The binding hole 29 is used when the lid 20 is bound to a medication management ledger or the like, and a specific usage thereof will be described later.

A folded piece 28a is further connected to the insertion piece 28 via a crease. The folded piece 28a is bent by about 180 ° along the crease in the same direction as the folding direction of the lid plate 21 (for example, in the case where the lid plate 21 is mountain-folded, the mountain-folding direction). Further, in the folded piece 28a, a binding hole 29 is formed at a position where the folded piece 28a overlaps with the binding hole 29 of the insertion piece 28 when bent as described above.

In the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the lid 20 is inserted into the grooves 14d and 15d adjacent to the rear wall 13 of the container 10 by inserting the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20. , Connected to the container 10.
By connecting the lid 20 to the container 10 in this way, the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 has the rear wall 13 and the right wall and the left in the grooves 14d and 15d adjacent to the rear wall 13 of the container 10. By being sandwiched between the walls 14 and 15, it is held in a state of substantially facing the inner side surface plate 13b of the rear wall 13.

At this time, the folded piece 28a connected to the insertion piece 28 inserted into the grooves 14d and 15d via a crease bent by about 180 ° is in a state of being folded back toward the inner side surface plate 13b of the rear wall 13. It is in contact with the inner side surface plate 13b. Here, the crease acts on the insertion piece 28 and the folding piece 28a as a repulsive force for bending so as to widen the space between the insertion piece 28 and the folding piece 28a in a V shape. As a result, the insertion piece 28 and the folded piece 28a are in a state of pressing the grooves 14d and 15d and the inner side surface 13b, respectively, so that it becomes more difficult to pull out from the grooves 14d and 15d.

Further, the crease line 25 of the lid 20 is the upper side of the side walls 13, 14, 15 (that is, the upper side of the inner side plates 13b, 14b, 15b) so as not to be sandwiched between the rear wall 13 and the right wall and the left walls 14, 15. ) Is adjusted to be approximately the same height or slightly above them. As a result, the lid plate 21 of the lid 20 attached to the container 10 can be hinged around the crease line 25 with respect to the container 10 to which the insertion piece 28 is fixed. Then, the lid plate 21 rotates approximately 90 ° with respect to the insertion piece 28, that is, with respect to the inner side surface plate 13b of the rear wall 13 substantially facing the insertion piece 28 so as to be tilted in the front wall 12 direction. By doing so, the lid plate 21 is substantially placed on the upper surface plates 12c, 14c, 15c of the front wall 12 and the right wall and the left wall 14, 15 and surrounded by the side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 of the container 10. It can be closed to cover the upper part of the receiving space S.

At this time, the lid 20 is connected to the container 10 so that the front plate 21a of the lid plate 21 of the lid 20 faces the rear side and the back plate 21b faces the front side when the crease line 25 is not bent. Will be done. By being connected in this way, when the lid plate 21 of the lid 20 is closed, the accommodating portion 31 of the PTP package 30 held in the lid plate 21 is in a state of bulging upward. It will be located above the receiving space S, and on the back side thereof, the sealing material 35 covering the accommodating portion 31 will be exposed facing the receiving space S.

When the accommodating portion 31 is pressed from above when the lid plate 21 is closed in this way, the pressed accommodating portion 31 is deformed so as to be depressed, and the drug C contained in the accommodating portion 31 is displaced. It is pressed through the deformed accommodating portion 31. The pressed agent C breaks through the sealing material 35 sealing the accommodating portion 31 and falls into the receiving space S of the container 10. Therefore, in the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment in which the lid 20 is connected to the container 10 as described above, the drug C contained in the PTP package 30 held by the lid 20 is received by the container 10. It can be easily and surely pushed into the space.

Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

First, the container 10 and the lid 20 are prepared respectively. As described above, in the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, since the container 10 and the lid 20 are composed of separate members, the structure of each component is relatively simple, and at the same time, these are manufactured separately. You will be able to. Therefore, the cost, time, and labor in manufacturing the secondary package 1 can be reduced, and the productivity of the secondary package 1 can be improved.
In the following description, the manufacturing method of the lid 20 will be described after the manufacturing method of the container 10 is described, but the order of such description does not limit the manufacturing order of the container 10 and the lid 20.

In manufacturing the container 10, first, a thick paper 10 having a plan shape corresponding to the developed view shown in FIG. 13A is prepared. It should be noted that all the drawings showing the developed view of the container 10 are views viewed from the direction (upward direction) in which the receiving space S is opened when the container 10 is assembled, and in these drawings, the outline and the outline are shown. The cut line is represented by a solid line, the valley fold line is indicated by a broken line, and the mountain fold line is indicated by a dotted chain line. Further, in the following description, each surface has a substantially rectangular shape unless otherwise specified.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the cardboard 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and four extension pieces 12, 13, 14, and 15 extending from the four sides of the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11 and these four extension pieces 12, 13, 14, and 15 are connected to each other via a valley fold line, respectively.

Grooves 14d, 14d and 15d, 15d of predetermined length extend perpendicularly from the line (the rear side of the top plates 14c, 15c). The ends of the grooves 14d, 14d and 15d, 15d opposite to the ends connected to the valley fold line are connected to the vicinity of the vertices of the substantially triangular notches 14e, 14e and 15e, 15e. .. The cutout portions 14e and 15e are formed so as to straddle the upper surface plates 14c and 15c and the inner side surface plates 14b and 15b.

The cutout portions 14e and 15e will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 13B. The cutouts 14e and 15e are valley fold lines connecting the upper surface plates 14c and 15c and the inner side surface plates 14b and 15b from the ends of the grooves 14d, 14d and 15d and 15d (front sides and inner side surface plates of the upper surface plates 14c and 15c). The introduction sides 14e1, 15e1 extending incline toward the center on the top plates 14c and 15c until they intersect with the rear sides of 14b and 15b) and the introduction sides 14e1 on the intersection side with the valley fold line. The intersection of the guide sides 14e2, 15e2 extending outwardly on the inner side plates 14b, 15b from the end of 15e1 to the front side of the inner side plates 14b, 15b, and the front side. Arrangement sides 14e3 extending substantially vertically on the top plates 14c, 15c from the ends of the guide sides 14e2, 15e2 on the side to the intersection of the grooves 14d, 14d and 15d, 15d and the introduction sides 14e1, 15e1. , 15e3, which is a substantially triangular space. In the present embodiment, the arrangement sides 14e3, 15e3 are located slightly outside the grooves 14d, 14d, 15d, and 15d, and the grooves 14d, 14d, are located near the intersections with the grooves 14d, 14d, 15d, and 15d. It bends inward so that it intersects with 14d, 15d, and 15d. Further, the apex where the guide side 14e2, 15e2 and the arrangement side 14e3, 15e3 intersect has a rounded shape.

Further, the bottom surface adhesive surfaces 14g and 15g extend from the front sides of the extension pieces 14 and 15 which are the right wall and the left walls 14, 15, that is, the front sides of the inner side surface plates 14b and 15b. The inner side surface plates 14b and 15b and the bottom surface adhesive surfaces 14g and 15g are connected to each other via a mountain fold line, respectively.

Next, the container 10 is assembled as follows. First, as shown in FIG. 14, the extension pieces 14, 15 which are the right wall and the left wall 14, 15 of the thick paper 10 are formed along a valley fold line connecting the outer face plates 14a, 15a and the top plates 14c, 15c. The bottom plate 11 and the bottom adhesive surfaces 14 g and 15 g are overlapped with each other, and the bottom plate 11 and the bottom adhesive surfaces 14 g and 15 g are adhered to each other.
Subsequently, the fold lines of the extension pieces 14 and 15 are bent so that the extension pieces 14 and 15 are bent by approximately 90 ° along the respective fold lines, whereby the right wall and the left wall 14, Build fifteen. As a result, the right wall and the left wall 14, in which the grooves 14d, 14d and 15d, 15d and the notches 14e, 14e and 15e, 15e having an inverted triangular pyramid-shaped cross section having the bottom plate 11 side as the apex are formed. 15 is constructed.

Next, the extension pieces 12 and 13 to be the front wall and the rear wall 12 and 13 of the cardboard 10 are bent, and the side ends of the inner side surface plates 12b and 13b of the front wall and the rear wall 12 and 13 are placed on the right wall and the left. It is inserted into the notches 14e, 14e and 15e, 15e formed in the walls 14, 15. As a result, the front wall and the rear wall 12, 13 are constructed, and the right wall and the left wall 14, 15 are fixed to complete the container 10.

The mechanism for inserting the inner side surface plates 12b and 13b into the cutout portions 14e, 14e and 15e and 15e will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18 by paying attention to the inner side surface plates 13b and the notch portions 15e as insertion pieces. FIGS. 15 and 16 show a state when the side end portion of the inner side surface plate 13b (hereinafter, simply referred to as the inner side surface plate 13b) is started to be inserted into the notch portion 15e. First, the front of the inner side surface plate 13b is inserted into the notch portion 15e along the introduction side 15e1. The width in front of the inner side surface plate 13b is longer than the distance between the inner side surface plates 14b and 15b of the right wall and the left walls 14, 15 and between the inner ends (reception space S side) of the grooves 14d and 15d. Since it is shorter than the distance of, it can easily enter the cutout portion 15e.

When the inner side surface plate 13b is inserted into the notch portion 15e along the introduction side 15e1, the lateral rounded side of the inner side surface plate 13b abuts on the introduction side 15e1. When the inner side surface plate 13b is pushed in from this state, the portion where the side of the inner side surface plate 13b abuts on the introduction side 15e1 moves to the outside of the notch portion 15e (the end side of the left wall 15). Eventually, the side of the inner side plate 13b is guided to the groove 15d connected to the end of the introduction side 15e1. As a result, the lateral end of the inner side surface plate 13b is sandwiched in the groove 15d.

When the inner side surface plate 13b is continuously pushed in from the above state, then, as shown in FIG. 16, the front side of the inner side surface plate 13b is located at a position farther from the rear wall 13 than the connection portion between the groove 15d and the notch portion 15e. It abuts on the guide side 15e2. When the inner side surface plate 13b is pushed in from this state, the inner side surface plate 13b abuts on the guide side 15e2 and moves diagonally downward along the guide side 15e2 that inclines toward the outside (the end side of the left wall 15). Eventually, the guide is guided to the lower end of the guide side 15e2. As a result, the front side of the inner side surface plate 13b is guided to the deepest part of the notch portion 15e (that is, the height of the bottom plate 11) without being hindered from moving in the notch portion 15e, and the inside of the notch portion 15e. Is almost completely plugged into.

When the front side of the inner side plate 13b is almost completely inserted into the notch 15e, a rear wall 13 connected to the left wall 15 via the groove 15d and the notch 15e is constructed, as shown in FIG. .. At this time, the inner side surface plate 13b is arranged so as to substantially face the substantially vertical arrangement side 15e3 of the notch portion 15e, and forms the inner side surface of the rear wall 13 that rises substantially vertically from the bottom plate 11.

As described above, in the production of the container 10 in the present embodiment, when the inner side surface plate 13b is inserted into the notch portion 15e, the inner side surface plate 13b is separated from the first side wall from the connection portion between the groove 15d and the notch portion 15e. Since it abuts on the guide side 15e2 of the notch 15e at the position, the inner side surface plate 13b can be easily inserted into the groove 15d and the notch 15e formed in the second side wall. Therefore, the rear wall 13 can be assembled relatively easily.
Further, since the inner side surface plate 13b inserted in the notch portion 15e is guided by the guide side 15e2 of the notch portion 15e and returned to the rear wall 13 side, the angles of the inner side surface plates 13b inserted in the notch portion 15e are compared. The groove 15d and the inner side surface plate 13b are engaged with each other in a standing state. Therefore, the strength against the force from above the rear wall 13 and the strength against the force in the direction away from the rear wall 13 can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the arrangement side 15e3 is formed so as to be arranged slightly outward from the groove 15d (the end side of the left wall 15), the inner side surface plate 13b is slightly smaller than the groove 15d. It can be arranged on the outside (rear wall 13 side). At this time, when the lateral length of the recessed portion 13b1 of the inner side surface plate 13b is longer than the length of the groove 15d, as shown in FIG. 18, the recessed portion 13b1 of the inner side surface plate 13b inserted from the groove 15d is the upper surface plate 15c. You can get in below (the back side) of. As a result, even if an upward force is applied to the inner side surface plate 13b from the state where the inner side surface plate 13b is almost completely inserted, the upper surface plate in which the depressed portion 13b1 that has entered below the upper surface plate 15c is located immediately above. Since it is caught on the 15c, the inner side surface plate 13b is prevented from being unexpectedly pulled out from the notch portion 15e.
At this time, the protruding portion 13c1 of the upper surface plate 13c is arranged so that its tip (notch 13d) overlaps with the groove 15d.

When the inner side surface plates 12b, 13b of the front wall and the rear walls 12, 13 are inserted into the notches 14e, 14e, 15e, 15e, the flaps 14f, 14f, 15f, 15f of the right wall and the left wall 14,15 are used. Are arranged in the front wall and the rear wall 12, 13 so as to face the inner surfaces of the outer face plates 12a, 12b of the front wall and the rear wall 12, 13. These flaps 14f, 14f and 15f, 15f are when pressure is applied to the right wall and the left wall 14, 15 with the inner side surface plates 12b, 13b of the front wall and the rear wall 12, 13 inserted. Helps to maintain the three-dimensional shape of the container 10.

The lid 20 is manufactured by bending a thick paper 20 having a plan shape corresponding to the developed view shown in FIG. 10 and assembling the lid 20 with the PTP package 30 sandwiched inside. The thick paper 20 to be the lid 20 includes a back plate 21b of the lid plate 21, a front plate 21a of the lid plate 21, an insertion piece 28, and a folded piece 28a, each of which is folded in a mountain shape in this order. They are connected in a row via a line. The crease line 25 between the back plate 21b of the lid plate 21 and the insertion piece 28 is a portion having a hinge structure capable of both mountain folding and valley folding.

To produce the lid 20, first, the PTP package 30 is placed on the surface plate 21a of the lid plate 21 so that the accommodating portion 31 bulges outward through the window hole 22a formed in the surface plate 21a. After that, the mountain fold lines of the lid 20 are bent. At this time, the PTP package 30 is sandwiched between the front surface plate 21a and the back surface plate 21b by bending the mountain fold line of the lid plate 21 by about 180 °. At this time, the accommodating portion 31 bulges outward from the window hole 22a formed in the front surface plate 21a, and the sealing material 35 sealing the accommodating space of the accommodating portion 31 is exposed from the window hole 22b formed in the back surface plate 21b. In this state, the PTP package 30 is held by the lid 20.

After the lid 20 is bent in this way, the outer peripheral portions of the front plate 21a and the back plate 21b of the lid plate 21 are adhered to each other and fixed to the PTP package 30 between the front plate 21a and the back plate 21b. do.

After the container 10 and the lid 20 are created in this way, the lid 20 is connected to the container 10 by inserting the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 into the grooves 14d and 15d adjacent to the rear wall 13 of the container 10. do.
At this time, the width of the front of the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 is longer than the distance between the inner side plates 14b and 15b of the right wall and the left walls 14 and 15, and is larger than the distance between the vertices of the grooves 14d and 15d. Since the insertion piece 28 is shortened, the insertion piece 28 is connected to the grooves 14d and 15d in the same manner that the introduction side 15e1 of the notch portion 15e is guided to the groove 15d on the inner side surface plate 12b in the above-mentioned explanation of the assembly of the container 10. Will be guided.

By connecting the lid 20 to the container 10 in this way, the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 has the rear wall 13 and the right wall and the left wall in the grooves 14d and 15d adjacent to the rear wall 13 of the container 10. By sandwiching it between 14 and 15, it is held in a state of substantially facing the inner side surface plate 13b of the rear wall 13, and can be fixed in the front-rear direction.

Next, a method of taking out the drug C contained in the secondary package 1 using the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

When taking out the drug C, first, the lid 20 is bent along the crease line 25 until it is bent by approximately 90 °, so that the lid plate 21 of the lid 20 is hinged around the crease line 25. The lid plate 21 is placed on the upper surface plates 12c, 14c, 15c of the front wall 12, the right wall, and the left walls 14, 15 (FIG. 3). As a result, the upper part of the receiving space S is covered with the lid plate 21, and the upper part of the receiving space S is closed by the lid plate 21 (closed state).

Next, in the closed state, the accommodating portion 31 is pressed from above to deform the accommodating portion 31 so as to be depressed, and the drug C in the accommodating portion 31 is pressed downward through the deformed accommodating portion 31. The pressed agent C breaks through the encapsulant 35 sealing the accommodating portion 31 and falls into the receiving space S of the container 10 (FIG. 4). In this way, the drug C is pushed into the receiving space S of the container 10 in a state where the receiving space S is surely closed.

After that, the lid plate 21 that is closed above the receiving space S is rotated around the crease line 25 to bring the upper part of the receiving space S into an open state (open state) again (FIG. 5). In this open state, the drug C extruded into the receiving space S of the container 10 can be opened by any method such as pinching the drug C from above with the fingers of the hand or tilting the container 10 to drop the drug C into the palm of the hand. It can be taken out from above the receiving space S.

In this way, in the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, the drug C contained in the lid 20 of the secondary package 1 can be easily and surely taken out into the receiving space S of the container 10. can. In addition, by reopening the lid plate 21, the drug C extruded into the receiving space S of the container 10 can be taken out from above the receiving space S by any method.

In the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, the front wall 12, the right wall and the left wall 14, 15 of the container 10 have a double wall structure, and the wide top plates 12c, 14c, 15c are mounted on the top plate thereof. It is formed. Therefore, when closing the upper part of the receiving space S, the lid plate 21 can be stably installed on the upper surface plates 12c, 14c, 15c.
Further, when the accommodating portion 31 of the PTP package 30 is pressed from above in a state where the lid plate 21 is installed on the front wall 12 and the right wall and the left walls 14 and 15 of the container 10, the front wall 12 on which the container 10 is installed is pressed. Pressure is also applied to the right wall and the left walls 14, 15 from above, and this pressure is dispersed over the surfaces of the wide top plates 12c, 14c, and 15c, which are the installation surfaces. Therefore, the front wall 12, the right wall, and the left walls 14, 15 have an advantage that they are not easily crushed by the pressure from above.

Next, a medication management method using the lid 20 of the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, the lid 20 after taking out the drug C can be used to manage the medication of the patient taking the drug C.

As described above, in the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, the lid 20 is a container in which the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 is inserted into the grooves 14d and 15d adjacent to the rear wall 13 of the container 10. It is connected to 10. That is, the lid 20 is detachably connected to the container 10 by such a configuration. Therefore, the medical staff removes the lid 20 after the patient takes the drug C contained in the lid 20 of the secondary package 1, and collects the lid 20 after the drug C is taken out. Thereby, it is possible to keep a record that the patient took the drug C at a predetermined date and time.

Here, as shown in FIG. 7, a binding hole 29 is formed in the insertion piece 28 and the folded piece 28a of the lid body 20. Therefore, the medical staff does not need to process the lid 20 removed from the secondary package 1 by passing a binding member such as a string or a ring through the binding hole 29 provided in the lid 20, and the binding is performed. It is possible to directly bind to a medication management ledger such as a ring file equipped with a member. Therefore, it becomes easy to manage the medication of the patient.
The binding hole 29 of the present embodiment is formed in both the insertion piece 28 and the folded piece 28a, and the folded piece 28a is folded back so as to be overlapped with the insertion piece 28, whereby these binding holes 29 are formed. Are also superimposed. As a result, the structure around the binding hole 29 is reinforced.

Further, in order to provide information on the drug C to the patient or the medical staff, the lid 20 may display information such as a method of taking the drug C and a designated date and time of taking the drug C in advance on the lid plate 21, for example.
Further, when the front surface or the back surface of the lid 20 is made of a material that is easy to write such as thick paper, the patient or the medical staff can determine the actual date and time of administration, the condition of the patient at the time of administration, and the medication in the medication management. It is also possible to write notes such as the day (day), dosage, name of the dispenser, patient's dietary content and lifestyle on the lid 20.

Next, the packaging of the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

When the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment is packaged, the lid 20 is not in a state where the receiving space of the container 10 is closed, but the lid 20 is the container 10 as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20. It is preferable that the back plate 21b of the lid plate 21 is packaged in a state where the receiving space S of the container 10 is open and the back plate 21b of the lid plate 21 faces the same direction as the receiving space S of the container 10 is opened. ..
As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, it is preferable that the secondary package 1 is packaged in a state where the receiving space S of the container 10 is open in the downward direction. Hereinafter, only the description with respect to FIGS. 19 and 20 will be described with the direction in which the receiving space S of the container 10 is open as the downward direction, as shown in these figures.

In FIG. 19, the secondary package 1 in a state of being bent by approximately 90 ° along the crease line 25 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the lid 20 closes the receiving space of the container 10 has a rectangular cross section in the accommodating direction. It is housed in a tubular package storage case 40. At this time, the lid plate 21 is opened until it is substantially parallel to the bottom plate 11 of the container 10. Here, the height (vertical width) inside the package housing case 40 is substantially the same as the total height of the height (vertical width) of the container 10 and the height (thickness) of the lid plate 21.

In the secondary package 1 housed in the package storage case 40 in the above state, the front plate 21a of the lid plate 21 faces upward in the opposite direction to the back plate 21b, so that the lid 20 has a cover plate 20. The housing portion 31 of the held PTP package 30 bulges upward. Here, in the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment, the height of the accommodating portion 31 in the bulging direction is smaller than the height of the container 10 in the vertical direction (that is, the height inside the package accommodating case 40). Therefore, between the accommodating portion 31 of the PTP package 30 and the inner upper surface of the package accommodating case 40, the height of the difference between the height of the accommodating portion 31 in the bulging direction and the internal height of the package accommodating case 40 is high. Space is provided.
With such a configuration, in the secondary package 1 housed in the package storage case 40 in the above state, the storage portion 31 of the PTP package 30 is isolated from the wall surface of the package storage case 40. It is housed in a state. Therefore, even if an impact is applied to the outer wall of the package accommodating case 40, the impact is not easily transmitted to the accommodating portion 31. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the accommodating portion 31 from being pressed by an unexpected impact and breaking the sealing of the accommodating portion 31.

Further, as shown in FIG. 20, the secondary package 1 of the present embodiment can be housed in the package storage case 40 and then housed in a further outer box 50. In that case, the secondary package 1 including the accommodating portion 31 of the PTP package 30 can be more reliably protected from impact.
At this time, the medical staff can take out the package storage case 40 from the outer box 50 and then hand the secondary package 1 to the patient in a state of being housed in the package storage case 40. In this case, only the information required by the patient is described on the outer wall of the package storage case 40, and the distribution information and the like (for example, matters required by law to be described on the package) that are unnecessary for the patient are described. May be written on the outer wall of the outer box 50. As described above, the present embodiment in which the package storage case 40 is housed in the outer box 50 also has an advantage that the information described in the storage case 40 and the outer box 50 can be separated.

When the secondary package 1 is housed using both the package storage case 40 and the outer box 50, only the secondary package 1 is housed in the package storage case 40 and the outer box 50 is used. In addition to the secondary package 1 housed in the package storage case 40, also houses accessories such as an instruction manual, attached documents, instruction sheet, label for medication management, notification when packaging is changed, and a light-shielding bag. It may be, and preferably, the instruction manual and the attached document are housed together. In this way, by separating the accessories from the inside of the package storage case 40 and storing them in the outer box 50, the package storage case in which the secondary package 1 is housed after the accessories are removed at the medical site. 40 can be handed to the patient.

The secondary package according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. Further, the action and effect of the secondary package according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned action and effect. The secondary package according to the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the secondary package 1 in the above-described embodiment, the lid 20 is detachably connected to the container 10 by inserting the insertion piece 28 of the lid 20 into the grooves 14d and 15d of the container 10. However, the connection between the container 10 and the lid 20 is not limited to such a form. For example, the container 10 may be provided with another mounting mechanism for mounting the lid 20.
Further, the lid 20 does not necessarily have to be removable from the container 10. For example, the lid 20 may be fixed to the container 10 by adhesion or the like, or the container 10 and the lid 20 may be integrally formed. Even in that case, the drug C can be used as long as the lid 20 is detachably connected to the container 10 by connecting the lid 20 to the container 10 through the perforation or the like. By detaching (for example, detaching) the lid 20 after being taken out from the container 10, it is possible to manage the medication of the patient taking the drug C.

Further, in the secondary package 1 in the above-described embodiment, the crease line 25, which is a hinge structure, is provided on the lid 20, but the hinge structure in which the lid 20 can be rotated in a hinge shape is secondary. It may be provided in another part of the package 1. For example, in the secondary package, a lid mounting portion having a hinge structure may be provided on the container 10, and the lid may be mounted on the lid mounting portion. Further, the container 10 and the lid 20 may be connected via a hinge member.

Further, in the secondary package 1, the container 10 is made of thick paper, but the material of the container 10 is not limited to paper. For example, the container 10 may be assembled by bending a sheet-shaped base material made of a different material and having a planar shape corresponding to the developed view shown in FIG. 13A, and may be assembled from, for example, a resin sheet or the like. It may be manufactured.
