  Next, a medicine storage case according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present specification, the front side refers to the operator side (the side in which the medicine storage case is pulled out) in a state where it is installed on the storage shelf. The medicine storage case 10 has a case shape that is long in the front-rear direction of an upper opening including a bottom plate 3e, a right side plate 3c, a left side plate 3d, a front side plate 3a, and a rear side plate 3b. Thereby, the medicine for the patient A packed with paper or the like can be stored.

  In the medicine storage case 10, locking groove rails 4 extending in the front-rear direction are formed inside the upper portions of the left and right side plates. The locking groove rail 4 has a locking projection rail 5 of another drug storage case 10 slidably fitted in the front-rear direction, so that the upper and lower two drug storage cases 10 can be connected in a laminated manner.

  In the medicine storage case 10, the left and right side plates 3c, 3d have a step structure at the upper part. That is, the left and right side plates 3c, 3d bend outward at a right angle, and then bend upward at a right angle to form a step, and the side plate that has become an inner side plate extends slightly upward and extends vertically. Is configured. That is, the locking groove rail 4 includes an outer vertical plate 41 extending in the front-rear direction and an inner vertical plate 42 extending in the front-rear direction and having a height lower than the height of the outer vertical plate 41 on the inner side separated from the outer vertical plate 41 by m dimension. Formed by a vertical groove 48 formed by the above, a small horizontal plate 43 extending inward from the inner side surface of the outer vertical plate 41 at a distance n above the upper end of the inner vertical plate 42, and an upper end of the inner vertical plate 42. It is a double groove having an inverted L-shaped cross section with respect to the lateral groove 49. The lateral groove 49 is continuous with the vertical groove 48 on the outer side, and the groove length of the lateral groove 49 is the thickness of the inner vertical plate 42. Further, the outer vertical plate 41 constitutes a part of the left and right side plates 3c, 3d.

  Further, the length (projection length) of the small horizontal plate 43 extending inward is equal to or smaller than the groove width dimension m of the vertical groove 48. As a result, when the other (upper) medicine storage case 10 is lifted upward, the locking projection rail 5 abuts the small horizontal plate 43 and lifts up, so that the other (upper) medicine storage case 10 is The connected state can be maintained without falling off. The groove width (vertical length in FIG. 3) of the lateral groove 49 is slightly larger than the thickness of the lid member 1 which is a separate member. As a result, the lid member 1 can be slidably fitted in the lateral groove 49, and after the fitting, even if the lid member 1 is lifted, the small lateral plate 43 functions as a stopper and can be connected without falling off. ..

  In the locking groove rail 4, the small horizontal plates 43 are formed discontinuously and partially (three places in this example) in the front-rear direction, and the inner vertical plates 42 of the partially formed small horizontal plates 43. Notched at corresponding position. By disposing the locking groove rails 4 partially in this way, it is possible to smoothly connect other medicine storage cases by sliding and by connecting the lid member by sliding. Further, by providing notches for removal at positions corresponding to and avoiding the cover member 1, it is possible to remove the cover member 1 during sliding without pulling it out.

  In the medicine storage case 10, locking projection rails 5 extending in the front-rear direction are formed at the lower ends of the left and right side plates 3c, 3d. The locking projection rail 5 has a projection shape that fits in the double groove of the locking groove rail 4, and specifically, when viewed from the front, the lower ends of the left and right side plates are bent outward at a right angle and further downward at a right angle. It has an inverted L shape. The locking projection rail 5 is formed continuously in the front-rear direction, but as shown in FIG. 1, it may have a cutout portion 59 in a part of its rear portion. The cutout portion 59 is stored in the storage rack 31, and when it is pulled out, it is locked to the front end 312 of the bottom plate 311 of the storage rack 31 to facilitate the work.

  A large number of partition plate projections 6 extending in the longitudinal direction at a predetermined pitch in the front-rear direction are formed on the inner surfaces of the left right plates 3c, 3d. If a partition plate is attached between the protrusions 6 that are adjacent to each other on the left and right and front and back, and a display plate is attached to the partition plate, information on the medicine between the partition plates becomes clear. For example, if three partition plates are used and the inside of the medicine storage case 10 is divided into four, the medicines for bedtime, evening, daytime, and morning can be placed from the rear to the front.

  Left and right side plates 3c and 3d are formed with locking holes 21a and 21b for left and right connection in front and rear portions thereof. The front locking holes 21a are formed with slits extending in the vertical direction on both sides of the central column, and the rear locking holes 21b are formed with slits extending in the vertical direction in contact with the rear side plate 3b. It was done. One arm portion of a connecting part (not shown) having both flexible arm portions is inserted into the locking holes 21a and 21b.

  In the medicine storage case 10, the height of the rear side plate 3b may be the same as that of the left and right side plates, or may be slightly higher than that of the left and right side plates as in this example. A portion of the rear side plate 3b that protrudes upward from the left and right side plates is locked to a hanging stopper 314 on the front side of the back surface of the top plate 313 of the storage shelf 31, so that the drug storage case 10 falls off when pulled out forward. To prevent.

  In the medicine storage case 10, the height of the front side plate 3a is the same as the groove bottom of the vertical groove 48 except for the central projection 8. Accordingly, the other medicine storage case 10 can be slidably connected from the front to the rear while maintaining the horizontal posture. A lock piece 7 is formed at the center of the upper portion of the front side plate 3a to prevent the medicine storage case 10 connected to the upper side from falling off forward. The lock piece 7 has flexibility by making the inner parts that are slits on both sides in the upper part of the front side plate 3a thin, and is continuous with the thin part, and the upper end surfaces on both sides of the front side plate 3a. The upright small projections 8 extending a little upward from are formed. When the two drug storage cases 10 are vertically connected, the small protrusion 8 of the lock piece 7 is located in front of the front side plate 3a of the upper drug storage case 10 and is restricted from sliding forward ( Locked). On the other hand, if the lock piece 7 is pushed in with a finger, the lock piece 7 bends in the pushing direction, and the small protrusion 8 falls down from the upper medicine storage case 10, so that the medicine storage case 10 can be slid forward. , The connection between the two can be released.

  In the medicine storage case 10, on the front surface of the front side plate 3a, for example, a display unit 9 for storing a display board on which the name of the patient who uses the medicine is written is formed. This makes it clear which patient the medicine storage case 10 is for.

  Next, the medicine storage case connected body (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “case connected body”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 14. 5 to 14, the same components as those of FIGS. 1 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted, and different points will be mainly described. The case connection body 20 includes a plurality of drug storage cases 10 and a plate-shaped lid member 1 having a grip portion 12 on an upper surface thereof. Two vertically adjacent drug storage cases 10a and 10b are provided with a lower drug. The locking groove rails 4 of the storage case 10b and the locking projection rails 5 of the upper drug storage case 10a are locked and stacked and connected, and the lid member 1 fits into the lateral groove 49 of the upper drug storage case 10a and opens upward. Is attached so as to be closed and is portable (FIGS. 5 and 6). The case connection body 20 is not limited to connecting the two drug storage cases 10 and 10, and can connect three or more drug storage cases 10 in the vertical direction.

  The lid member 1 is a plate-like member, and has a size and shape that closes the upper opening of the medicine storage case 10 and is slidable in the lateral groove 49 of the locking groove rail 4. Two cutouts 13 and four cutouts 13 on the left and right are formed at the left and right ends of the plate-like body at a predetermined pitch in the front-rear direction. The size of the notch portion 13 is slightly larger than the size of the partially formed locking groove rail 4. The notch 13 is a position that does not correspond to the locking groove rail 4 when the lid member 1 is attached to the medicine storage case 10. As a result, in the state where the lid member 1 is attached to the medicine storage case 10, the lid member 1 hits the small lateral plate 43 of the locking groove rail 4 and does not come off. When the lid member 1 is pulled up by moving to a position corresponding to the locking groove rail 4, the locking can be released.

  Next, an example of an assembling method of the case connected body 20 will be described. Two drug storage cases 10, 10 and a lid member 1 are prepared. For example, one drug storage case 10 stores four daily drugs for the patient A in the morning, daytime, evening, and before sleeping. Further, the other medicine storage case 10 stores the medicine for the patient B for four times in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, and before sleeping. The patient-by-patient operation of this medication occurs at the pharmacy. Next, the upper drug storage case 10a is held at the front position so that the two drug storage cases 10 and 10 are in a vertically close position, and the upper drug storage case is placed on the upper surface of the front side plate 3a of the lower drug storage case 10b. The lower end of the rear plate 3b of 10a is placed to determine the vertical position. From this state, the upper drug storage case 10a is slid rearward with respect to the lower drug storage case 10b. At this time, the locking protrusion rails 5 of the upper drug storage case 10a and the locking groove rails 4 of the lower drug storage case 10b are locked while being connected. The lower part of the rear plate 3b of the upper drug storage case 10a comes into contact with the upper part of the rear plate 3b of the lower drug storage case 10b to complete the connection between the two. At this time, the small protrusion 8 of the lock piece 7 of the front side plate 3a of the lower medicine storage case 10b is located in front of the front side plate 3a of the upper medicine storage case 10a (FIGS. 9 to 12). This prevents the upper drug storage case 10a from moving forward from the lower drug storage case 10b and coming off.

  Next, the lid member 1 is attached to the drug storage case 10 above the two connected drug storage cases 10, 10. The lid member 1 slides in the lateral groove 49 of the upper drug storage case 10 from the front to the rear while locking. The attachment of the lid member 1 is completed by the rear end of the lid member 1 hitting the rear side plate 3a of the upper medicine storage case 10. At this time, the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 does not come to the corresponding position of the locking groove rail 4, and the left and right edge portions of the upper surface of the lid member 1 hit the small horizontal plate 43. 1 never comes off. Then, by gripping and gripping the grip portion 12, the case connection body 20 can be lifted.

  The case connection body 20 can hold the grip portion 12 and can be carried by hand. The connection of the case connection body 20 transported to a facility such as a hospital is released. The method of removing the lid member 1 from the case connection body 20 may be carried out by the reverse method of assembling. In the case of this example, the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 is slid to a position corresponding to the locking groove rail 4, the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 and the locking groove rail 4 are aligned, and the lid member 1 Should be raised. The removal of the two drug storage cases 10 is the reverse of the assembling, and the upper drug storage case 10a may be slid forward with respect to the lower drug storage case 10b and removed.

  Next, a method of storing and pulling out the medicine storage case 10 from the storage rack 31 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17, the same components as those in FIGS. 1 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof will be omitted, and different points will be mainly described. The storage rack 31 is a box-shaped body having a front opening including left and right side plates, a top plate, a bottom plate, and a rear side plate, and can store four drug storage cases 10 side by side. In the storage shelf 31, the height from the bottom plate 311 to the top plate 313, that is, the ceiling height is higher than the height of the outer vertical plate 41 including the left and right side plates of the medicine storage case 10. In addition, a stopper 314 that hangs downward from the top plate 313 is provided on the storage side surface of the top plate 313 and on the front portion. The height from the bottom plate 311 to the stopper 314 is higher than the height of the outer vertical plate 41 including the left and right side plates of the medicine storage case 10 and lower than the height of the rear side plate 3b. Thus, when the medicine storage case 10 is stored in the storage shelf 31, the stopper 314 does not become an obstacle, and when the medicine storage case 10 is pulled out from the storage shelf 31, the rear side plate 3b hits the stopper 314 and is prevented from falling forward. To prevent.

  In order to store the medicine storage case 10 in the storage shelf 31, the medicine storage case 10 is set in a posture in which the medicine storage case 10 is tilted downwardly downward and is inserted into the entrance of the storage shelf 31. At this time, the rear side plate 3b of the medicine storage case 10 is inserted so as to enter the rear of the stopper 314. Then, the medicine storage case 10 can be stored by pushing it backward. In this way, the medicine storage case 10 is sequentially stored in the storage shelf 31. The storage rack 31 is stored in a container having a larger storage capacity.

  Next, a method of pulling out the medicine storage case 10 from the storage shelf 31 and giving medicine to the patient will be described. First, the thick portion of the display portion 9 of the front side plate 3a of the medicine storage case 10 is gripped, and the medicine storage case 10 is pulled out forward. The upper edge of the rear side plate 3b contacts the stopper 314 in the state of being pulled out almost completely. In this state, even if a hand is removed from the medicine storage case 10, the medicine storage case 10 will not fall off from the storage shelf 31. Further, since the inner wall in front of the notch 59 formed in the rear portion of the locking projection rail 5 hits the tip angle of the bottom plate of the storage shelf 31, the medicine storage case 10 does not move backward (FIG. 17). .. In this state, it is possible to take out the medicine to be given to the patient. When the work is completed, the front end of the medicine storage case 10 is slightly lifted upward, held in a horizontal state, and pushed out rearward to complete the storage in the storage rack 31.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be adopted. For example, the locking groove rail is not limited to a discontinuous partial rail, and may be a continuous groove rail. Further, the installation of the cutout portion 13 of the lid member 1 can be omitted. Further, the grip portion 12 of the lid member 1 can be omitted. In this case, the case connection body may be fixed by a rubber band or the like, and a gripping portion such as a handle may be installed on the case connection body so as to be transportable. The length (projection length) of the small horizontal plate 43 extending inward may be smaller than or larger than the groove width dimension m of the vertical groove 48. Even if the length (projection length) of the small horizontal plate 43 extending inward is smaller than the groove width dimension m of the vertical groove 48, the upper locking projection rail 5 is arranged to move downward when the small horizontal plate 48 is carried. It is caught on the plate 43, and the upper and lower connecting bodies are not separated.

  According to the present invention, since a plurality of drug storage cases can be connected in a stacked state, the drug can be transported in a pharmacy in a state where the drug is put in a container for each individual, and can be used as it is as a drawer of a medicine rack in a hospital or facility. Therefore, the efficiency of transportation from the pharmacy to the hospital is improved, and the operation at the facility or the hospital that administers the drug to the patient is only confirmed, so that the efficiency of the work at the facility or the hospital can be improved.
