DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a calendar-type medication management sheet will be described with reference to the drawings. The calendar-type medication management sheet of the embodiment can be suitably used in medical institutions and nursing facilities, and is extremely easy to use as it can store a large amount of medication for each patient or for each medication timing, and can reduce the area required for installation. [First embodiment]

[0015] A calendar-type medication management sheet 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 11.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 comprises a plurality of sheet bodies 12 stacked opposite each other to form a bundle, a first protective plate 13 covering one side (front side) of the plurality of sheet bodies 12 forming the bundle, and a second protective plate 14 covering the other side (back side) opposite to the one side (front side) of the plurality of sheet bodies 12 forming the bundle.

[0017] The first protective plate 13 and the second protective plate 14 are formed in the same shape. Therefore, in the following, only the first protective plate 13 will be described, and a description of the second protective plate 14 will be omitted.

[0018] The first protective plate 13 is integrally formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material. The first protective plate 13 has, for example, a protective plate body 15 formed in a flat plate shape and a handle portion 16 integrally protruding from the protective plate body 15. The first protective plate 13 has a first protective surface 17 and a second protective surface 18 opposite to the first protective surface 17. The protective plate body 15 has a pair of first fixing portions 21 for engaging with the sheet body 12 at both ends in the width direction above the first protective surface 17. The first fixing portions 21 have the same shape as the first engaging portions 31 of the sheet body 12 described later. The protective plate body 15 has second fixing portions 22 for engaging with the sheet body 12 at both ends in the width direction above the second protective surface 18. The second fixing portions 22 have the same shape as the second engaging portions 32 of the sheet body 12 described later.

[0019] The first protective plate 13 can be attached to a first surface 23 of the sheet body 12 (sheet stack 19) via a second fixing portion 22 as shown in Fig. 1, or can be separated from the first surface 23 of the sheet body 12 as shown in Fig. 2. Similarly, the second protective plate 14 can be attached to a second surface 24 of the sheet body 12 (sheet stack 19) via a first fixing portion 21 as shown in Fig. 1, or can be separated from the second surface 24 of the sheet body 12 as shown in Fig. 2.

[0020] If it is not intended to be carried around, the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 can be used with just the sheet body 12 without using the first protective plate 13 and the second protective plate 14.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sheet body 12 can be combined into a sheet stack 19 as shown in FIG. 3, or can be separated into a single sheet body 12 as shown in FIGS.

[0022] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the sheet body 12 has a first surface 23 on the front side, a second surface 24 on the opposite side (back side) to the first surface 23, a hanging portion 25 provided on the upper part of the sheet body 12, a storage section 26 provided on the first surface 23 at the lower part of the sheet body 12, an engagement area 27 provided at a position between the hanging portion 25 and the storage section 26, one or more first engagement portions 31 provided on the first surface 23 of the engagement area 27, one or more second engagement portions 32 provided on the second surface 24 at a position opposite the first engagement portions 31, and a string 33 passed through the hanging portion 25.

[0023] The base material 34 constituting the sheet body 12 is formed of, for example, a flexible synthetic resin material. The sheet body 12 may be either translucent or opaque.

[0024] The hanging part 25 is formed, for example, by welding a rigid rectangular resin plate to the base material 34 of the sheet main body 12. The hanging part 25 is used to suspend the sheet main body 12. The hanging part 25 can also be formed by bonding cardboard or the like to the base material 34. The hanging part 25 has a pair of through holes 25A for passing a string through. The through holes 25A penetrate the first surface 23 and the second surface 24.

[0025] The storage section 26 has a plurality of pockets 35 arranged in a lattice pattern. That is, the plurality of pockets 35 are provided so as to form a plurality of columns in the vertical direction and a plurality of rows in the horizontal direction.

[0026] Each of the pockets 35 has a first pocket portion 35A provided on the front side and a second pocket portion 35B provided on the back side. The first pocket portion 35A and the second pocket portion 35B are formed of, for example, a translucent synthetic resin material.

[0027] The engagement area 27 is provided in a horizontally long band shape at a position between the hanging part 25 and the storage part 26 .

[0028] The first engagement portions 31 are provided in a pair at both lateral ends of the engagement region 27 of the first surface 23. The second engagement portions 32 are provided in a pair at positions facing the pair of first engagement portions 31, i.e., at both lateral ends of the engagement region 27 of the second surface 24.

[0029] The first engagement portion 31 and the second engagement portion 32 are, for example, configured by a pair of snap buttons having complementary shapes. That is, as shown in Fig. 8, the first engagement portion 31 is, for example, a concave snap button, and as shown in Fig. 9, the second engagement portion 32 is, for example, a convex snap button. The second engagement portion 32 can be engaged with the first engagement portion 31 by being lightly pressed against it, and can be separated from the first engagement portion 31 by being pulled away with a light force.

[0030] The snap buttons constituting the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 can be commercially available. The first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material, but may be formed of a metal material or other material. The first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 may have a convex-concave relationship inversely, and the first engaging portion 31 may be a convex snap button and the second engaging portion 32 may be a concave snap button. The sheet bodies 12 can be connected to each other by engaging the first engaging portion 31 of one sheet body 12 with the second engaging portion 32 of the other sheet body 12. The first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 are fixed to the base material 34 by welding or adhesion.

[0031] Next, the operation of the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 of this embodiment will be described.

[0032] For example, as shown in Fig. 1, when carrying the calendar-type medication management sheet 11, a first protective plate 13 and a second protective plate 14 can be attached to a bundle of sheet bodies 12 to make it suitable for carrying. In this state, the user can carry the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 by hanging it from the handle portion 16.

[0033] In a care facility or medical institution, a user can join the sheet bodies 12 together as shown in Figure 3 to form a large-capacity sheet stack 19 that can administer and manage a large amount of medication, or can use one sheet body 12 on its own as shown in Figure 5.

[0034] In this case, the four vertical columns of the pocket 35 can be used to correspond to each time period, for example, from the left, in the order of morning, afternoon, night, and before bed. The three horizontal rows of the pocket 35 can be used to correspond to, for example, the first day, the second day, and the third day, from the top.

[0035] 10, the patient's name tag 36 may be placed in the first pocket portion 35A, and medicine 37 may be placed in the second pocket portion 35B. Alternatively, as in the second usage mode shown in FIG 11, medicine 37A to be taken before breakfast may be placed in the first pocket portion 35A, and medicine 37B to be taken after breakfast may be placed in the second pocket portion 35B.

[0036] According to this embodiment, the following can be said. The calendar-type medication management sheet 11 includes a sheet body 12 having a first surface 23 and a second surface 24 opposite to the first surface 23, a hanging part 25 provided on the upper part of the sheet body 12 and used for hanging the sheet body 12, a storage part 26 provided on the first surface 23 at the lower part of the sheet body 12 and having a plurality of pockets 35 capable of storing medicines on the first surface 23, one or more first engagement parts 31 provided on the first surface 23 at a position between the hanging part 25 and the storage part 26, and one or more second engagement parts 32 provided on the second surface 24 at a position opposite to the first engagement part 31 and capable of engaging with or separating from the first engagement part 31 of another adjacent sheet body 12.

[0037] According to this configuration, a sheet bundle 19 can be formed in which one sheet body 12 and another sheet body 12 are joined together in a facing state by engagement via the first engagement portion 31 and the second engagement portion 32. This reduces the area required for installation of the calendar-type medication management sheet 11, and provides a calendar-type medication management sheet 11 that is compact and can store a large amount of medicine for medication management.

[0038] The first engagement portions 31 are provided in a pair at both ends of the engagement region 27 extending horizontally in a band-like manner, at a position between the hanging portion 25 and the storage portion 26, and the second engagement portions 32 are provided in a pair on the second surface 24 at a position opposite the pair of first engagement portions 31.

[0039] According to this configuration, the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 32 are provided in pairs, so that the sheet bodies 12 can be reliably joined together. This can prevent as much as possible the occurrence of a problem in which a part of the sheet body 12 falls off from the sheet stack 19 when the user does not intend it to.

[0040] The protective plate covers the first surface 23 or the second surface 24 of the sheet main body 12 and has a fixing portion that can engage with one or more first engagement portions 31 or one or more second engagement portions 32, or can be separated from one or more first engagement portions 31 or one or more second engagement portions 32.

[0041] According to this configuration, a protective plate is provided that can cover the first surface 23 or the second surface 24 of the sheet body 12, thereby preventing problems such as the sheet body 12 bending or being damaged during transportation.

[0042] The protective plate has a handle 16 at its top. With this configuration, the protective plate can be used as a carry case. This makes it easier to carry the calendar-type medication management sheet 11.

[0043] In the following embodiment, differences from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and illustrations or descriptions of parts common to the above embodiment will be omitted. [Second embodiment]

[0044] Next, a calendar-type medication management sheet 11 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0045] The calendar-type medication management sheets 11 of this embodiment can be used as one large calendar-type medication management sheet 11 by connecting them in series in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 13, the sheet body 12 has a first surface 23 on the front side, a second surface 24 on the back side, a hanging portion 25 provided on the upper part of the sheet body 12, a storage section 26 provided on the first surface 23 at the lower part of the sheet body 12, an engagement area 27 provided at a position between the hanging portion 25 and the storage section 26, one or more first engagement portions 31 provided on the first surface 23 of the engagement area 27, one or more second engagement portions 32 provided on the second surface 24 at a position opposite the first engagement portions 31, a string 33 passed through the hanging portion 25, a second engagement area 43 provided below the storage section 26, one or more third engagement portions 41 provided on the first surface 23 of the second engagement area 43, and one or more fourth engagement portions 42 provided on the second surface 24 at a position opposite the third engagement portions 41.

[0047] The configurations of the hanging part 25, the storage part 26, the engagement area 27, the first engagement part 31, the second engagement part 32, and the string 33 are similar to those in the first embodiment.

[0048] The second engagement region 43 is provided below the storage portion 26 in the shape of a horizontally long band.

[0049] The third engagement portions 41 are provided in a pair at both lateral ends of the second engagement region 43 of the first surface 23. As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, the fourth engagement portions 42 are provided in a pair at positions facing the pair of third engagement portions 41, i.e., at both lateral ends of the second engagement region 43 of the second surface 24.

[0050] The third engagement portion 41 is configured in the same form as the first engagement portion 31. The fourth engagement portion 42 is configured in the same form as the second engagement portion 32. That is, the third engagement portion 41 is, for example, a concave snap button, and the fourth engagement portion 42 is, for example, a convex snap button. The convex-concave relationship may be reversed, as in the first embodiment.

[0051] Next, the function of the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 of this embodiment will be described. The calendar-type medication management sheets 11 of this embodiment can be used as one large calendar-type medication management sheet 11 by connecting them in series in the vertical direction, for example, as shown in Fig. 12. In this case, these sheet bodies 12 can be easily connected to each other by engaging the first engagement portion 31 of the lower sheet body 12 with the fourth engagement portion 42 of the upper sheet body 12.

[0052] The number of connected sheet bodies 12 is not limited to two, and may be three or more. The sheet bodies 12 may be connected to each other by engaging the second engagement portion 32 of the lower sheet body 12 with the third engagement portion 41 of the upper sheet body 12. Also, as shown in FIG. 13, one sheet body 12 may be used alone.

[0053] Furthermore, in the calendar-type medication management sheet 11 of this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the sheet bodies 12 can be connected to each other in a state where they are opposed to each other to form a sheet bundle 19. In this case, the second engagement portion 32 of one sheet body 12 is engaged with the first engagement portion 31 of the other sheet body 12, and the fourth engagement portion 42 of one sheet body 12 is engaged with the third engagement portion 41 of the other sheet body 12. This makes it possible to realize a calendar-type medication management sheet 11 with twice the number of engagement points compared to the first embodiment.

[0054] According to this embodiment, the following can be said. The calendar-type medication management sheet 11 includes one or more third engagement parts 41 provided on the first surface 23 at a position lower than the storage part 26, and one or more fourth engagement parts 42 provided on the second surface 24 at a position facing the one or more third engagement parts 41 and capable of engaging with or separating from the third engagement part 41 of another adjacent sheet body 12 or the first engagement part 31 of another adjacent sheet body 12.

[0055] According to this configuration, the sheet bodies 12 can be connected in series in the vertical direction by engaging the first engagement portion 31 (second engagement portion 32) of one sheet body 12 with the fourth engagement portion 42 (third engagement portion 41) of the other sheet body 12. This allows the installation area of ​​the sheet body 12 to be increased if the installation location allows, and the installation area of ​​the sheet body 12 can be appropriately adjusted depending on the application. Also, when forming a sheet bundle 19 in which one sheet body 12 is integrated with another sheet body 12 in a state where the other sheet body 12 is opposed to the one sheet body 12, the engagement between the first engagement portion 31 and the second engagement portion 32 can be further reinforced by the engagement between the third engagement portion 41 and the fourth engagement portion 42. This makes it possible to prevent as much as possible the occurrence of a problem in which a part of the sheet body 12 falls off from the sheet bundle 19 when the user does not intend it.

[0056] The third engagement portions 41 are provided in a pair at both ends of a second engagement region 43 extending horizontally in a band-like manner, at a position lower than the storage portion 26 on the first surface 23, and the fourth engagement portions 42 are provided in a pair on the second surface 24 at a position opposite the pair of third engagement portions 41.

[0057] According to this configuration, the third engaging portion 41 and the fourth engaging portion 42 are provided in pairs, so that the sheet bodies 12 can be reliably joined together. This can prevent as much as possible the occurrence of a problem in which a part of the sheet body 12 falls off from the sheet stack 19 when the user does not intend to do so.

[0058] The above-described embodiment can be implemented with various further substitutions and modifications. It is of course possible to appropriately combine the above-described different embodiments to configure one invention. In the above-described embodiment, the first engagement portion 31 to the fourth engagement portion 42 are configured with snap buttons, but the first engagement portion 31 to the fourth engagement portion 42 are not limited to this. It is of course possible for the first engagement portion 31 to the fourth engagement portion 42 to be realized with, for example, hook-and-loop fasteners, magnets, or other repeatedly detachable members.
