Abstract
A medicine feeding device including a support portion (32) for supporting a seal surface side of a press through pack (5), a press section (33) for pressing the housing recess portions (9) from one side other than the seal surface of the press through pack (5), and a cutter (38) for making a cut slit in the sheet (11) at a boundary portion between the housing recess portions (9) and the seal surface (8) at least before the sheet (11) is broken or the medicine (6) is damaged by the pressure exerted by the press section (33).
Claims12
A medicine feeding device for feeding medicines from a press through pack in which a housing member is formed with a plurality of housing recess portions provided in at least one line on a seal surface side of a plate-shaped member and in which a sheet is stuck to the seal surface of the housing member with medicines housed in the housing recess portions, the medicine feeding device comprising:
- a support portion for supporting the seal surface side of the press through pack;
- a press section comprising a first pressing member for pressing the housing recess portions from one side other than the seal surface side of the press through pack;
- the press section further comprising a second pressing member for contacting the press through pack at locations that do not include the housing recess portions;
- and
- a cutter for making discrete cut slits less than a width of the press through pack at a part of a boundary portion between the housing recess portions and a seal surface of the sheet at least before the sheet is broken or the medicine is damaged by a pressing force exerted by the press section, the cutter and the pressing section being disposed on the same side of the support portion,
- wherein the first pressing member is provided at a position so as to be able to press one of the housing recess portions while the cutter is provided at a position to be able to make a cut slit at the part of the boundary portion between the housing recess portions and the seal surface of the sheet, wherein the first pressing member, the second pressing member and the cutter are movable upward and downward as an integrated structure, and
- the cutter is provided so as to make a cut slit after the press through pack is positioned by second pressing member,
- wherein the support portion does not support the seal surface side of the press through pack at a position directly under the housing recess portion being pressed by the first pressing member during a cutting operation.
A medicine feeding device for feeding medicines from a press through pack in which a housing member is formed with a plurality of housing recess portions provided in at least first and second lines on a seal surface side of a plate-shaped member and in which a sheet is stuck to the seal surface of the housing member with medicines housed in the housing recess portions, the medicine feeding device comprising:
- a support portion for supporting the seal surface side of the press through pack;
- a first press section for pressing the housing recess portions arranged in the first line from one side other than the seal surface side of the press through pack;
- a second press section for pressing the housing recess portions arranged in the second line from one side other than the seal surface side of the press through pack;
- a first cutter for making a cut slit at a part of a boundary portion between the housing recess portions in the first line and a seal surface of the sheet at least before the sheet is broken or the medicine is damaged by a pressing force exerted by the press section;
- and
- a second cutter for making a cut slit at a part of a boundary portion between the housing recess portions in the second line and a seal surface of the sheet at least before the sheet is broken or the medicine is damaged by a pressing force exerted by the press section, wherein the cutters are positioned between the first and second press sections.
A medicine feeding device for feeding medicines from a press through pack in which a housing member is formed with a plurality of housing recess portions provided in at least one line on a seal surface side of a plate-shaped member and in which a sheet is stuck to the seal surface of the housing member with medicines housed in the housing recess portions, the medicine feeding device comprising:
- a support portion for supporting the seal surface side of the press through pack so that the housing recess portions are directed upwardly;
- a pressing member comprising a first pressing member, disposed above the support portion, for pressing the housing recess portions from an upper side of the support portion;
- the pressing member further comprising a second pressing member for contacting the press through pack at locations that do not include the housing recess portions;
- and
- at least one cutter removably attached to the pressing member, the cutter being adapted to pass through the housing member and sheet at a boundary portion between one of the housing recess portions and a seal surface of the sheet before the sheet is broken or the medicine is damaged by a pressing force exerted by the first pressing member,
- wherein the cutter and the pressing member are disposed on the same side of the support portion so that the cutter and the pressing member are disposed over the press through pack when the press through pack is supported on the support portion, and
- wherein the first pressing member, the second pressing member and the cutter are movable together in a vertical direction, and the cutter is positioned relative to the first and second pressing members so that the cutter is able to pass through the housing member and the sheet before the first pressing member engages a recess portion of the housing member when the press through pack is supported by the support portion.
