[0016] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail.

[0017] An ampoule separation assisting device 10 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. The ampoule separation assisting device 10 is an assisting device for separating the head 32 and body of the ampoule 30 when using the ampoule 30 with a liquid or solid substance such as a medicine. The ampoule 30 includes the head 32, a body, and a connecting part 36 that connects the head 32 and the body, as shown in Figure 6. A medicine or the like is stored in the body, and when using the medicine in the ampoule 30, the head 32 is separated from the body, and the medicine in the body is taken out and used.

[0018] The ampoule separation assisting device 10 includes a cylindrical body 16, a head restriction portion 12, and a fulcrum portion 14. The cylindrical body 16 has an opening 16a that opens laterally relative to the standing direction D1. The head restriction portion 12 is provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical body 16 above the opening 16a and extends downwardly of the cylindrical body 16. The head restriction portion 12 restricts movement of the head portion 32 toward the opening 16a. The head restriction portion 12 has an engagement portion 12a that restricts movement of the opening 16a relative to the head portion 32 in the width direction D2. The engagement portion 12a can be formed, for example, from a groove portion. The fulcrum portion 14 is provided at the end of the cylindrical body 16 below the opening 16a and supports the connection portion 36.

[0019] Cylindrical body 16 may have an L-shape or an I-shape when viewed from the side (see Figures 8, 11, and 12). By including a curved or bent portion, cylindrical body 16 can prevent splashing liquid from leaking out of opening 16a even if head 32 is separated and falls.

[0020] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the head 32 of the ampoule 30 is inserted into the opening 16a of the ampoule separation assisting tool 10, and the head 32 is inserted further back than the head restricting portion 12. This restricts movement of the head 32 toward the front side of the paper. Furthermore, by fitting the head 32 into the engaging portion 12a, it is possible to prevent the head 32 from shifting in the width direction D2 of the head restricting portion 12. The connecting portion 36 of the ampoule 30 abuts against the fulcrum portion 14, and by using the fulcrum portion 14 as a fulcrum to press the body toward the cylindrical body 16, the head 32 and the body can be separated.

[0021] The angle θ1 (see FIG. 5) formed by the line L1 connecting the fulcrum portion 14 with which the ampoule 30 contacts and the head restricting portion 12 with which the ampoule 30 contacts, and the depth direction D3 of the cylindrical body, can be, for example, 10 to 90 degrees.

[0022] When the head 32 of the ampoule 30 is engaged with the head restricting portion 12 and the connecting portion 36 is supported by the fulcrum portion 14, it is preferable that the body be spaced apart from the ampoule separation assisting device 10 to allow for rotational space. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the fulcrum protrusion 14a may be provided below the opening 16a.

[0023] The ampoule separation assisting tool 10 can be connected to a recovery section 20 that recovers the heads 32 of the cut ampoules 30 at the end of the cylindrical body 16 opposite the opening 16a.

[0024] The ampoule separation assisting device 10 may be provided with an attachment portion 18 that allows the bottom portion of the ampoule separation assisting device 10 to be attached to a platform. The ampoule separation assisting device 10 may be applied to, for example, a mobile medical platform.

[0025] 8 and 9, the ampoule separation assisting tool 10 has a through hole provided in a cylindrical body 16, and the head restricting part 12 is inserted into the through hole, has a protruding part 12b protruding outward from the cylindrical body 16, and is provided so as to be able to grip the protruding part 12b and slide in a direction intersecting with the cylindrical body 16. The head restricting part 12 has a peak-valley shape, and the side surface of the through hole can be formed in a peak-valley shape corresponding to the peak-valley shape of the head restricting part 12.

[0026] According to this embodiment, when separating the head 32 and the body of the ampoule 30, lateral displacement can be suppressed, and the head 32 and the body of the ampoule 30 can be easily separated. In addition, the ampoule 30 can be easily broken with one hand.

[0027] This embodiment can be modified in various ways within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
