  Hereinafter, the drug press-through package of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a drug press-through package according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part of FIG.

  The drug press-through package 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 having a plurality of bulge storage portions 20 for storing tablets 4 at predetermined intervals, and the bulge storage portion (pocket) 20. It is a package of the type which consists of the lid | cover material 6 to seal and destroys the said lid | cover material 6 and takes out the tablet 4. FIG. A concave groove 70 that crosses substantially the center of the top surface 23 of the bulge storage portion 20 is disposed in a substantially semicircular shape. The recessed groove 70 is recessed on the storage side of the tablet 4. The width of the groove 70 crossing the top surface 23 is about 0.8 to 1 mm, the depth is about 0.4 to 0.6 mm, and the radius of the arc is about 0.4 to 0.5 mm.

  Further, the sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 was provided with cuts 60, and the cuts 60 were alternately bent a plurality of times so as to be separable into small pieces 15 provided with two adjacent bulge storage portions 20, 20. Each of the adjacent bulge storage portions 20 located in the small piece 15 is arranged so that the transverse direction of the groove 70 is different to form a substantially C-shape. For example, the sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 is obliquely arranged in a direction that forms a predetermined angle (θ = about 45 degrees) with respect to the short side 11 or the long side 12 constituting the outer shape of the sheet-like molded body (main body) 10. Desirably, the two bulge storage portions 20 and 20 arranged in the region of the small piece 15 are arranged so that the transverse direction of each concave groove 70 faces a different corner of the small piece 15.

  The sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 is made of a transparent synthetic resin material such as polypropylene. The bulge storage portions 20 having a thickness of about 90 μm are formed on the surface side by vacuum forming at 10 points in 2 rows and 5 columns at predetermined intervals. The flat part other than the bulge storage part 20 is a sheet-like molded body having a thickness of about 200 μm. In the state where the tablet 4 having a circular outer periphery is put in the concave portion 30 inside each bulge storage portion 20 of the sheet-shaped molded body 10, the entire back surface of the sheet-shaped molded body 10 is closed so as to close the opening 50 of the concave portion 30. A lid 6 made of a synthetic resin laminated film is attached by heat sealing.

The cover 6 made of the laminated film has a transparent vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate film layer 6a having a thickness of about 12 μm, and a thickness of about 30 μm bonded to the film layer 6a by a dry lamination with a large bonding force of 2.0 N / cm or more. It consists of the film layer 6b which consists of a blend material of transparent ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin and olefin resin.
The lid 6 is stacked on the sheet-like molded body 10 so that the film layer 6b faces the back side of the sheet-like molded body 10, and the heat seal surface is attached by heat sealing so that the interface can be peeled off.

Specifically, the film layer 6b and the sheet-like molded body 10 are bonded with a small bonding force of about 1.0 N / cm to 13.0 N / cm. The reason why the transparent vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate film layer 6a is provided on the lid 6 is to obtain an effect of preventing moisture from entering the recess 3 and a gas barrier effect.
Since the sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 is made of polypropylene and has a large thickness, the effect of preventing moisture from entering the recess 30 is exhibited. In addition, when gas barrier property is required for the sheet-like molded body 10, it is obvious that a film layer made of a material having a gas barrier effect may be provided.

  In order to take out the tablet 4 from the concave portion 30 of the package body having the above-described configuration, the center portion of the top surface 23 of the bulge storage portion 20 may be finger pressed from above toward the lid material 6. Or what is necessary is just to press the ditch | groove 70 with a nail | claw of a thumb. As a result, the top surface 23 is easily bent toward the tablet 4 side. And the tablet 4 is pressed in the part bent in the substantially square shape of the top | upper surface 23, and the easy-opening property of the cover material 6 is improved. The tablet 4 in the recess 30 is swelled and pressed against the lid member 6 side through the swellable storage portion 20, and the lid member 6 covering the opening 50 of the sheet-like molded body (main body) 10 is almost along the opening edge by the force. Break and peel off. As a result, the opening 50 is opened and the tablet 4 can be taken out from the recess 30.
