Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging box with a disassembly function used to store articles such as medicines. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a packaging box for storing medicines and the like is assembled from a single blank sheet that is punched out as a single piece from a single sheet of paperboard, and is composed of four side panels that form the front, back, and both left and right sides of the box, a bottom lid that forms the bottom surface of the box, and a lid that forms the top surface of the box, as described in Patent Document 1. In this box, the bottom lid and the lid both consist of a pair of flaps extending from the edge portions of two of the four side panels that face each other, and a lid that extends from the edge portion of one of the side panels between the two side panels and has an insert piece at its tip.

[0003] Medicines are placed into the box through the top or bottom opening, and a pair of flaps and a lid are successively closed over the top opening and the bottom opening, respectively, with the lid inserts glued to the top and bottom edges of the inside of the front panel of the box. The lids are sometimes sealed with sealing tape instead of glue. When using the medicine, the lid is cut open and the medicine is removed from the box.

[0004] All medicines are then removed from the box, and the used box is either discarded as is, or the top and bottom lids are pulled out and the entire box is folded flat and discarded.

[0005] Hospital pharmacies and dispensing pharmacies discard large quantities of used medicine boxes. When discarding boxes, boxes that are difficult to crush or fold are simply thrown into the trash can without being crushed. This increases the volume of boxes in the trash can, making disposal time and effort inefficient.

[0006] First of all, because conventional packaging boxes of this type lack any special disassembly function, they are often discarded as is after use. For example, packaging boxes for storing pharmaceuticals come in various sizes: small boxes that store 100 tablets, medium-sized boxes that store 500 tablets, and large boxes that store 1000 tablets. Since medium-sized and large boxes are relatively large, they are particularly bulky and cumbersome when disposed of in a trash can as is. Furthermore, when attempting to flatten these boxes to reduce their bulk, the boxes are difficult to crush with the bottom lid closed. The larger the box, the more difficult it is to crush. Therefore, to reduce the size of a used box, the only option is to pull the bottom lid out of the box and fold the entire box flat along the creases at the corners, a cumbersome process.

[0007] Therefore, the applicant of the present application has previously proposed in Patent Document 2 a packaging box with a disassembly function that can be easily crushed into a flat shape when it has been used.

[0008] The packaging box with disassembly function of Patent Document 2 has a disassembly function section that has linearly extending lines or notches or a combination of these in the widthwise middle of each of the left and right side panels and each of the flaps, and can fold the entire box flat by bending and guiding each of the left and right side panels. An approximately V-shaped groove is formed in the widthwise middle of the leading edge of each flap, and by applying pressure from the front panel towards the back panel, the box can be crushed or folded flat.

[0009] In this way, used boxes can be easily crushed and flattened, thereby improving the efficiency of the disposal of used boxes. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-91038 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6391864 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Conventionally, prescription drugs sold at medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies have been accompanied by a package insert containing various information about the drug, such as the drug's name, dosage (e.g., administration instructions, dosage), efficacy, and handling precautions, and the package insert has been enclosed in a drug packaging box. This package insert is made of relatively large paper, such as A3 size, and is folded into a long, thin piece to fit inside the box. The folded package insert is relatively thick. This folded, long, thin package insert is then inserted into the box along one side wall and stored. Because a relatively thick package insert is enclosed in a conventional drug packaging box, the conventional drug packaging box is made larger than the size required to contain the drug, just to accommodate the package insert.

[0012] However, the November 2019 amendment to the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act requires that package inserts for this type of prescription drug be provided electronically as a general rule. In response to this, the pharmaceutical industry has announced a policy to stop including package inserts in prescription drug products, and pharmaceutical companies are currently considering removing package inserts from inside the boxes.

[0013] Therefore, it is expected that package inserts will no longer be included with prescription drugs in the future. If this happens, pharmaceutical packaging boxes will only need to be the size necessary to contain the drug, and will be made more compact to accommodate the elimination of the space required for package inserts. As boxes become smaller, the surface area that can be crushed or folded when crushed or folded will also become smaller, making the box more difficult to crush or fold. Therefore, as boxes become more compact in the future, it is preferable to make used boxes easier to crush or fold. Furthermore, if boxes can be easily crushed with one hand, this will improve the efficiency of box disposal, which is even more desirable.

[0014] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packaging box of this type that can be crushed or folded more efficiently and quickly, and that can be crushed or folded even with one hand. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 show a packaging box with disassembly functions according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 and 2 show the overall configuration of the packaging box with disassembly functions, and Figure 3 shows the state of a blank sheet before the packaging box with disassembly functions is assembled. This packaging box with disassembly functions is used particularly for packaging pharmaceuticals, and in this case, is a box of the type that can store 100 or 140 tablets housed in 10 or 14 PTP sheets with 10 pockets.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the packaging box C with disassembly function (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as packaging box C or box C) is made of a relatively thick and upright paper material called so-called paperboard, and is composed of four side panels 11-14 that form the periphery of the box C, a bottom lid 15 that forms the bottom surface of the box C, and a lid 16 that forms the top surface of the box C. The bottom lid 15 and the lid 16 are each made by two side panels 11-14 that face each other among the four side panels 11-14. The box C has a pair of flaps 153, 154, 163, 164 connected to both end edges of the other two side panels 11, 13 of the four side panels 11-14 via lines L9, L12, L10, L13, and lids 156, 155, 166, 165 connected to both end edges of the other two opposing side panels 11, 13 of the four side panels 11-14 via lines L5, L11, L7, L6, and the bottom opening and top opening of the box C are closed by the bottom lid 15 and the top lid 16, respectively.

[0021] In the case of box C, the entire box is configured as a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped, with back panel 11 and front panel 13, which make up the other two side panels, each being a vertically long rectangle of the same size, and the left and right side panels 14, 12, which make up the other two side panels, each being a vertically long rectangle of the same size but slightly narrower than back panel 11 and front panel 13. In the case of box C, as shown in Figure 3, the four side panels 11-14 are, from left to right, connecting piece 111, back panel 11, left side panel 14, front panel 13, and right side panel 12, and connecting piece 111 is connected to the inner surface of right side panel 12 at the side edge on the back side via glue.

[0022] Of these four side panels 11-14, the rear panel 11 and the front panel 13 are provided with a disassembly function unit D1 specific to this box C, and the left and right side panels 14 and 12 are also provided with a disassembly function unit D2. These disassembly function units D1 and D2 will be described later.

[0023] In the case of box C, bottom lid 15 comprises a pair of left and right flaps 153, 154 connected to the lower edges of the four side panels 11-14, in this case the lower edges of the left and right side panels 14, 12, via creases L9, L12 (note that creases L9, L12 may be perforation lines), an inner lid 155 connected to the lower edge of front panel 13 via crease L11, and an outer lid 156 connected to the lower edge of back panel 11 via crease L5. In this case, each of the pair of left and right flaps 153, 154 is formed to protrude in a generally M-shape so as to be able to partially cover (both the left and right ends of) the bottom opening of box C, and a generally V-shaped groove 157 is formed at the middle of the leading edge in the width direction, in this case the center (see FIG. 3). Inner lid 155 is formed to protrude generally in a T shape along line L11 from the lower edge of front panel 13 so as to be able to cover nearly the entire bottom opening of box C, and the lid width narrows at a position corresponding to the position of disassembly functional section D5 of outer lid 156 (described later) (see FIG. 3). Outer lid 156 is formed to protrude generally in a trapezoid shape along line L5 from the lower edge of back panel 11 so as to be able to cover nearly the entire bottom opening of box C. In this way, the bottom opening of box C is closed in this order by flaps 153, 154, inner lid 155, and outer lid 156, and outer lid 156 is glued to inner lid 155 to seal it.

[0024] Disassembly function units D3, D4, D4-1, and D5 are also attached to the bottom cover 15. The disassembly function units D3, D4, D4-1, and D5 will be described later.

[0025] Like the bottom cover 15, the top cover 16 comprises a pair of left and right flaps 163, 164 connected to the upper edges of the four side panels 11-14 (in this case, the upper edges of the left and right side panels 14, 12) via creases L10, L13 (note that creases L10, L13 may be perforation lines), an inner cover 165 connected to the upper edge of the front panel 13 via crease L6, and an outer cover 166 connected to the upper edge of the back panel 11 via crease L7. In this case, the pair of left and right flaps 163, 164 are each formed to protrude in a generally trapezoidal shape so as to be able to partially cover (both the left and right ends of) the top opening of the box C. The inner cover 165 is formed to protrude in a generally trapezoidal shape so as to be able to cover substantially the entire top opening of the box C via crease L6 from the upper edge of the front panel 13. The outer lid 166 is formed on the upper edge of the back panel 11 along the line L7 so as to protrude in a generally trapezoidal shape so as to be able to cover substantially the entire top opening of the box C. In this manner, the top opening of the box C is closed in this order by the flaps 163, 164, the inner lid 165, and the outer lid 166, and the outer lid 166 is glued to the inner lid 165 to seal it.

[0026] A disassembly function unit D3 is also attached to this canopy 16. This disassembly function unit D3 will be described later.

[0027] A tear line K for opening is formed on each edge of the top surface of the front panel 13 of this box C. In this case, the tear line K for opening on the top surface is formed by forming a groove shape of a compound shape consisting of a combination of a substantially rectangular shape and a substantially trapezoidal shape in the center of the edge of the top surface of the front panel 13 from this edge toward the bottom surface, and by forming perforations from both ends of this groove shape to the left and right ends on the edge of this edge on both sides. In addition, a circular recess 131 for placing a fingertip is formed by debossing in the center of the surface within this perforation line.

[0028] The bottom opening of this packaging box C is closed by inner lid 155 and outer lid 156 via flaps 153 and 154, and outer lid 156 is glued and sealed to inner lid 155, and the top opening is closed by inner lid 165 and outer lid 166 via flaps 163 and 164, and outer lid 166 is glued and sealed to inner lid 165. Note that outer lid 166 may be sealed with sealing tape instead of glue. In this way, canopy 16 can be opened by cutting it along opening cut line K formed on the top side of front panel 13.

[0029] In particular, this packaging box C is provided with a disassembly function part D1 on both the front panel 13 and the back panel 11, which form the other two side panels, which consists of two lines or notches or a combination thereof extending in an approximately V-shape or an approximately inverted V-shape toward both corners on the bottom cover 15 side, and which serves as a pressing part 130 to guide the area between the two lines or notches or a combination thereof.

[0030] In addition, in the case of this packaging box C, a disassembly function unit D2 is provided at the widthwise midpoint of each of the left and right side panels 14, 12 that constitute one of the two side panels, and consists of a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly in the lengthwise direction of each of the side panels 14, 12, which can bend and guide each of the side panels 14, 12 to fold the entire box C flat; and a disassembly function unit D3 (see Figure 3) is provided at the widthwise midpoint of each of the bottom and top flaps 153, 163, 154, 164, which consists of a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly at a position corresponding to the disassembly function unit D2 of each of the side panels 14, 12, and can bend and guide each of the flaps 153, 163, 154, 164.

[0031] Furthermore, in the case of this box C, a disassembly function section D4 consisting of a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly in the middle of the depth direction of the inner lid 155 on the bottom lid 15 side is provided at a position corresponding to the disassembly function section D2 of each side panel 14, 12, in other words, at a position overlapping with the disassembly function section D3 of each flap 153, 154, 163, 164, and a disassembly function section D5 consisting of a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly in the middle of the depth direction of the outer lid 156 on the bottom lid 15 side is provided at a position corresponding to the disassembly function section D2 of each side panel 14, 12, in other words, at a position overlapping with the disassembly function section D3 of each flaps 153, 154, 163, 164.

[0032] In this case, the disassembly functional portion D1 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 each consists of two creases extending in a generally V-shape from the end of the bottom cover 15 toward both corners of the bottom cover 15. Each crease is formed continuously by pressing a fold groove from the outer surface of the front panel 13 or the back panel 11 toward the inner surface. When viewed on the blank sheet in FIG. 3, each crease is located on an extension of a straight line connecting each corner of the bottom cover 15 and the approximate center of the leading edge when the left and right flaps 153 and 154 on the bottom cover 15 are considered to be a trapezoid or a rectangle, and extends from each corner to a length slightly shorter than half the width of the front panel 13 or the back panel 11. The distance between the ends of each crease on the opposite side of the bottom cover 15 is approximately the width of an average adult male's thumb. While each crease is formed continuously, it may also be formed intermittently. Furthermore, although creases are referred to here as creases, they may also be cuts or a combination of creases and cuts.

[0033] Each pressing portion 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 is provided with a recess 132 for placing a fingertip at the tip end of each ruled line where the width becomes narrow. In this case, each recess 132 is formed in the shape of a circle inscribed in each imaginary line, close to the position where the imaginary line on the extension of the tip end of each ruled line intersects. Each recess 132 is formed by debossing.

[0034] In this case, the disassembly functional portion D2 of each of the left and right side panels 14, 12 is formed by a crease that extends linearly in the length direction of each of the side panels 14, 12 at approximately the center in the width direction of each of the side panels 14, 12. The ends of these disassembly functional portions D2 on the side of each flap 153, 163, 154, 164 extend to the edge of each of the side panels 14, 12. In this case, the crease is formed by pressing a fold groove from the outer surface side of the side panels 14, 12 toward the inner surface side. In this case, the crease is formed continuously. Note that although the crease is formed continuously, it may also be formed intermittently. Also, although the crease is referred to here as a crease, it may be a cut or a combination of a crease and a cut.

[0035] In this case, the disassembly functional portion D3 of each of the left and right flaps 153, 154 constituting the bottom cover 15 is formed by a notch extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of each flap 153, 154 at approximately the center in the width direction of each flap 153, 154. Furthermore, in this case, the notch of each flap 153, 154 extends continuously from a position close to the end of each flap 153, 154 on the side panel 14, 12 side toward the approximately V-shaped groove 157 at the center of the leading edge to the vicinity of the groove 157. Note that this notch may be intermittent. Although notches are used here, they may be ruled lines or a combination of ruled lines and notches.

[0036] In this case, inner lid 155 forming bottom lid 15 is formed generally in a T-shape. The lid width is narrowed at a position corresponding to the position of disassembly function section D5 of outer lid 156 (described later). This makes inner lid 155 easier to fold between the wide and narrow lid sections. The boundary between the wide and narrow lid sections forms disassembly function section D4, which is different from disassembly function sections D1-D3 and is made up of a score line, a notch, or a combination thereof, and can guide the folding of inner lid 155 (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, in this inner lid 155, a score line is further formed between the wide and narrow lid sections (see FIG. 3) as disassembly function section D4-1. In this case, the score line is formed by pressing a fold groove from the outer surface of inner lid 155 toward the inner surface. While a score line is used here, a score line or a combination of a score line and a notch may also be used. Furthermore, in the case of this inner lid 155, if the disassembly function part D4 is provided, the disassembly function part D4-1 consisting of the ruled lines, the cuts, or a combination thereof may not be provided.

[0037] In this case, the disassembly functional portion D5 of the outer lid 156 constituting the bottom lid 15 is composed of a short notch extending linearly, dividing the lid 156 into two ends at approximately the center in the depth direction of the lid 156. Although notches are used here, they may be ruled lines or a combination of ruled lines and notches.

[0038] In this case, the disassembly functional portion D3 of each of the left and right flaps 163, 164 constituting the canopy 16 is formed by a cut extending linearly in the length direction of each flap 163, 164 at approximately the center in the width direction of each flap 163, 164 (see FIG. 3). In this case, the cut of each flap 163, 164 extends intermittently from a position close to the end of each flap 163, 164 on the side panel 14, 12 side to near the tip edge. Note that this cut may also be continuous. Also, although cuts are used here, they may also be ruled lines or a combination of ruled lines and cuts.

[0039] In this case, the inner lid 165 and outer lid 166 that make up the canopy 16 are not provided with any disassembly function, i.e., no lines, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Because the box C can be opened and closed by opening the canopy 16, there is no need to fold and guide the inner lid 165 and outer lid 166.

[0040] In this way, by pressing down the pressing portions 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 of the box C, the bottom cover 15, the top cover 16, and the left and right side panels 14, 12, which are one of the two side panels, are guided outward, and the box C is crushed or folded into a flat shape.

[0041] 3, the box C is made of a single blank sheet P that is integrally punched out from a single sheet of cardboard. This blank sheet P is in an unfolded state before being assembled into the box C, and includes a back panel portion P11 that will form the back panel 11 of the box C when assembled, a connecting piece portion P111 that is provided continuous with the left edge of the back panel portion P11 via a crease L4 and that will form a connecting piece 111 to be fixed to the inner surface of the right side panel 12 of the box C when assembled, a left side panel portion P14 that is provided continuous with the right edge of the back panel portion P11 via a crease L1 and that will form the left side panel 14 of the box C when assembled, and a connecting piece portion P1 ... left side panel portion P14 via a crease L1. a front panel portion P13 that is continuous with the right edge of the front panel portion P13 via a crease L2 and forms the front panel 13 of the box C when assembled; a right side panel portion P12 that is continuous with the right edge of the front panel portion P13 via a crease L3 and forms the right side panel 12 of the box C when assembled; an outer lid portion P156 that is continuous with the lower edge of the back panel portion P11 via a crease L5 and forms the outer lid 156 of the bottom lid 15 when assembled; an outer lid portion P166 forming the left flap 153 of the bottom lid 15 when assembled; a left flap portion P153 formed continuously with the left side panel portion P14 at the lower edge thereof via a crease L9 and constituting the left flap 153 of the bottom lid 15 when assembled; a left flap portion P163 formed continuously with the left side panel portion P14 at the upper edge thereof via a crease L10 and constituting the left flap 163 of the top lid 16 when assembled; and an inner lid portion P166 formed continuously with the front panel portion P13 at the lower edge thereof via a crease L11 and constituting the inner lid 155 of the bottom lid 15 when assembled. the right flap portion P154 is connected to the lower edge of the right side panel portion P12 via a line L13 and forms the right flap 154 ​​of the bottom lid 15 when assembled; and the right flap portion P164 is connected to the upper edge of the right side panel portion P12 via a line L13 and forms the right flap 164 of the canopy 16 when assembled. The size and shape of each part of the blank sheet P, the tear line K for opening, the position and shape of the recess 131, the position and shape of the disassembly function portions D1-D5, the pressing portion 130, and the recess 132 are as described above.

[0042] The blank sheet P has such a configuration, and from this blank sheet P, the connecting piece portion P111 provided on the left side of the back panel portion P11 is joined to the side edge portion on the back side of the inner surface of the right panel portion P12 via glue, the bottom opening is closed by the inner lid portion P155 and the outer lid portion P156 via the left and right flap portions P153 and P154, and the outer lid portion 156 is sealed by gluing it to the inner lid 155, the top opening is closed by the inner lid portion P165 and the outer lid portion P166 via the left and right flap portions P163 and P164, and the outer lid portion 166 is sealed by gluing it to the inner lid 165 or by adhering sealing tape between the outer lid portion P166 and the front panel portion P13, and the box C is assembled.

[0043] Additionally, pharmaceuticals are placed inside box C as box C is assembled. The procedure for this varies, depending on whether machine packaging or manual packaging is used, and may involve assembling and joining the four side surfaces 11-14 of box C, placing pharmaceuticals inside box C through the top or bottom opening of box C, and then sealing both the top and bottom openings at approximately the same time, or assembling and joining the four side surfaces 11-14 of box C, sealing one of the top or bottom opening first, placing the pharmaceuticals inside box C, and then sealing the other opening. In this way, pharmaceuticals, in this case tablets contained in PTP sheets, are placed inside box C.

[0044] When using the medicine, the lid 16 is cut open and the medicine is removed from the box C. In this case, for example, by pressing the tip of a thumb against the recess 131 within the cut line K for opening at the top of the front panel 13 of the box C, the box is broken along the cut line K, and the lid 16 is then pulled up, opening the top opening of the box C and opening it. This allows the medicine to be removed from the top opening. After all the medicine has been removed from the box C and the used box C is then flattened or folded by the disassembly function units D1-D5 attached to each part of the box C, and discarded.

[0045] Figure 4 shows an example of how to use the disassembly functional units D1-D5 of box C, i.e., a method for disassembling box C. When disassembling box C, first, referring to Figure 1, hold box C in one hand, place the tip of your thumb on one of the recesses 132 of the pressing units 130 on front panel 13 and back panel 11, and place the tip of your index finger or middle finger on the other hand, and press down on each pressing unit 130.

[0046] When the pressing portions 130 of the front panel 13 and the rear panel 11 of the box C are pressed together in this manner (i.e., when the pressing portions 130 are brought close to or into contact with each other), as shown in FIG. 4, the edges of the front panel 13 and the rear panel 11 on the bottom cover 15 side and the left and right side edges are pulled in the pressing direction of the pressing portions 130, and the bottom cover 15 (i.e., the left and right flaps 153, 154, the inner cover 155, and the outer cover 156), the left and right side panels 14, 12 are each bulged outward, and by the folding guide of each of the disassembly functional parts D2-D5, the bottom lid 15 (left and right flaps 153, 154, inner lid 155, outer lid 156) and the left and right side panels 14, 12 are pushed outward with the disassembly functional part D3 (notch), disassembly functional part D4, D4-1 (line), disassembly functional part D5 (notch), and disassembly functional part D2 (line) as protruding ends, and are crushed and folded into an approximately flat shape. At this time, the flaps 153, 154 of the bottom lid 15 are easily removed from the inside to the outside of the inner lid 155 and outer lid 156, which are joined together by glue, due to the approximately V-shaped grooves 157 at their leading edges, and the flaps 153, 154 on the bottom lid 15 side smoothly protrude from the inside to the outside of the bottom lid 15 with the disassembly functional portions D3 (notches) as their protruding ends, and are crushed and folded into a substantially flat shape. Depending on the characteristics of the paper material of the box C, the flaps 153, 154 of the bottom lid 15 may be folded into the box C9. At this time, in conjunction with the left and right side panels 14, 12 protruding outward with the disassembly functional portions D2 as their protruding ends, the left and right flaps 163, 164 of the top lid 16 also protrude outward with the disassembly functional portions D3 (notches) as their protruding ends, and are crushed and folded into a substantially flat shape. Since the outer lid 166 forming the canopy 16 has been opened together with the inner lid 165, both are pushed out of the four side panels 11-14 by pressing the pressing portions 130. In this way, the used box C can be flattened and compacted for disposal.

[0047] As described above, this packaging box C with disassembly function has a disassembly function unit D1 at the bottom lid 15-side end of the front panel 13 and back panel 11. The disassembly function unit D1 consists of two lines (or notches, or a combination thereof) extending in a generally V-shape toward both corners of the bottom lid 15, with the space between the two lines (or notches, or a combination thereof) serving as a pressing unit 130 for guiding the disassembly. By pressing the pressing units 130 on the front panel 13 and back panel 11 with two fingertips of one hand, the bottom lid 15 and the left and right side panels 14, 12 are each guided outward, causing the box C to be crushed and folded flat. This allows the box C to be crushed and folded more efficiently and quickly, and can be easily crushed and folded with one hand with little force (pushing force) with a single touch. This significantly improves the ease with which medical professionals dispose of used boxes C.

[0048] In the case of this box C, there are recesses 132 for placing fingertips at the narrow tip end of each pressing portion 130 of the front panel 13 and back panel 11, so that effective pressing positions for each pressing portion 130 of the front panel 13 and back panel 11 can be indicated, and the fingertips can fit into each pressing portion 130, making it easier to press each pressing portion 130.

[0049] In the case of this box C, each of the flaps 153, 154, 163, 164 on the bottom lid 15 side and the top lid 16 side has a notch (or a line or a combination of these) extending linearly in the length direction of each of the flaps 153, 154, 163, 164 at the widthwise middle, and is equipped with a disassembly function part D3 that guides and bends each of the flaps 153, 154, 163, 164 outward when each of the pressing parts 130 on the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 is pressed.Therefore, by simply pressing each of the pressing parts 130 on the front panel 13 and the back panel 11, even with a small force, each of the flaps 153, 154, 163, 164 can be caused to protrude from the inside to the outside of the inner lids 155, 165 and outer lids 156, 166, and the box C can be crushed and folded.

[0050] In particular, in the case of this box C, a roughly V-shaped groove 157 is provided at the widthwise middle of the tip edge of each of the flaps 153, 154 on the bottom lid 15 side, and each disassembly function portion D3 of each of the flaps 153, 154 extends toward each groove 157. Therefore, when each pressing portion 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 is pressed, each of the flaps 153, 154 easily pops out from the inside to the outside of the inner lid 155 and the outer lid 156, and each of the flaps 153, 154 can be even more easily crushed and folded into a flat shape.

[0051] In the case of this box C, the lids on the bottom lid 15 side and the top lid 16 side are respectively composed of outer lids 156, 166 and inner lids 155, 165. In particular, the outer lid 156 on the bottom lid 15 side has a notch (or a line or a combination of these) extending linearly in the width direction in the middle of its length, and is equipped with a disassembly function part D5 that can bend and guide the outer lid 156 outward when pressed by the pressing parts 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11. The inner lid 155 is formed in an approximately T-shape, and is equipped with a disassembly function part D4 that reduces the lid width at a position corresponding to the position of the disassembly function part D5 of the outer lid 156, and can bend and guide the inner lid 155 outward when pressed by the pressing parts 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11. Therefore, both of these lids 155, 156 are easily bendable, and the used box C can be crushed and folded even more easily into a flat shape. In this case, the disassembly function portion D5 of the outer lid 156 is formed short and divided at both ends of the middle portion of the depth direction of the outer lid 156, so that the disassembly function portion D5 does not get in the way when various information about the medicine is printed on the surface of this lid 156.

[0052] In the case of this box C, there is a disassembly function part D2 which consists of a line (or a notch or a combination of these) extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of each of the left and right side panels 14, 12 at the widthwise midpoint of each of the left and right side panels 14, 12, and which guides the left and right side panels 14, 12 to bend outward when the pressure parts 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 are pressed down, making both of these side panels 14, 12 easier to bend, and (acting in the same way as the disassembly function parts D3-D5 of the bottom lid 15) it is possible to more easily crush or fold the used box C into a flat shape.

[0053] In the case of this box C, the disassembly function sections D2-D5 of the bottom lid 15, the canopy 16, and the left and right side panels 14, 12 are continuously formed at corresponding central positions in each section, so that when the pressing sections 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11 are pressed, the disassembly function sections D2-D5 work together to bend the bottom lid 15, the canopy 16, and the left and right side panels 14, 12 at the center and protrude them outward, allowing the entire box C to be neatly crushed and folded.

[0054] Each part in this embodiment can be modified as follows.

[0055] In this embodiment, the front panel 13 and the back panel 11, which form the other two side panels, are provided with a disassembly function D1 consisting of two lines, notches, or a combination thereof extending in a generally V-shape toward both corners of the bottom cover 15, with the space between the two lines, notches, or a combination thereof functioning as a pressing portion 130 to guide the disassembly. However, the front panel and the back panel may also be provided with a disassembly function D1 consisting of two lines, notches, or a combination thereof extending in a generally inverted V-shape toward both corners of the bottom cover, with the space between the two lines, notches, or a combination thereof functioning as a pressing portion to guide the disassembly. Furthermore, the front panel and the back panel may also be provided with a disassembly function D1 consisting of two lines, notches, or a combination thereof extending in a generally inverted V-shape toward both corners of the canopy, with the space between the two lines, notches, or a combination thereof functioning as a pressing portion to guide the disassembly. This configuration can also achieve the same effects as the above-described embodiment.

[0056] In this embodiment, outer lids 156, 166 and inner lids 155, 165 are provided on both end edges of the other two of the four side panels 11-14 that form the periphery of the box, i.e., both front panel 13 and back panel 11, and the bottom and top openings of box C are closed by inner lids 155, 165 and outer lids 156, 166, respectively. However, it is also possible to provide a lid connected to both end edges of one of the other two side panels, i.e., either front panel 13 or back panel 11, so that the bottom and top openings of the box are each closed by a single lid. In this case, each lid may have, for example, an insert piece at its tip. Even in the case of such a lid, similar to the above, a disassembly function section consisting of lines, cuts, or a combination thereof, and which folds and guides the lid, can be provided to obtain the same effects as those described above.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lid on the bottom lid 15 side and / or the lid on the top lid 16 side is composed of outer lids 156, 166 and inner lids 155, 165, and in particular, the outer lid 156 on the bottom lid 15 side has a notch (or a line or a combination of these) extending linearly in the width direction in the middle of its length, and is equipped with a disassembly function part D5 that can bend and guide the outer lid 156 outward when pressed by each pressing part 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11, and the inner lid 155 is formed in an approximately T-shape, and has a disassembly function part D4 that reduces the lid width at a position corresponding to the position of the disassembly function part D5 of the outer lid 156, and can bend and guide the inner lid 155 outward when pressed by each pressing part 130 of the front panel 13 and the back panel 11. Alternatively, the bottom cover and / or top cover may be composed of an outer cover and an inner cover, the outer cover having a longitudinally intermediate portion formed with a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly in the width direction and a disassembly functional portion for guiding the outer cover outward when pressed by a pressing unit, and the inner cover having a longitudinally intermediate portion formed with a line or a notch or a combination thereof extending linearly in the width direction at a position corresponding to the position of the disassembly functional portion of the outer cover and a disassembly functional portion for guiding the inner cover outward when pressed by a pressing unit. This configuration can also achieve the same effects as the above embodiment.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pair of left and right flaps 153, 154 on the bottom cover 15 are each formed to protrude in a generally M-shape so as to be able to partially cover the bottom opening (at both left and right ends) of the box C, and a generally V-shaped groove 157 is formed at the midpoint in the width direction of the leading edge, here at the center. However, the pair of left and right flaps may also be formed to protrude in a generally trapezoidal or rectangular shape so as to be able to partially cover the bottom opening (at both left and right ends) of the box C, and a generally V-shaped groove is formed at the midpoint in the width direction of the leading edge, here at the center. This configuration can also achieve the same effects as the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, the pair of left and right flaps on the top cover side may each be formed to protrude in a generally M-shape so as to be able to partially cover the top opening (at both left and right ends) of the box, and a generally V-shaped groove is formed at the midpoint in the width direction of the leading edge (for example, the center). Alternatively, the pair of left and right flaps on the top cover side may each be formed to protrude in a generally trapezoidal or rectangular shape so as to be able to partially cover the top opening (at both left and right ends) of the box, and a generally V-shaped groove is formed at the midpoint in the width direction of the leading edge (for example, the center). This configuration can also achieve the same effects as the above-described embodiment.

[0059] In recent years, pharmaceutical packaging boxes have increasingly been provided with tags (display pieces) that display various pharmaceutical-related information on either one of the four side panels, the top cover, or the bottom cover of the box. These tags are formed on the four side panels, the bottom cover, or the top cover of the box, surrounded by a zipper line or perforations. These tags are cut off from the box and used to manage the pharmaceuticals. Even when such tags are provided on the four side panels, the bottom cover, or the top cover of the box, disassembly functional units can be provided on each part. In this case, because the tags are provided on each part in a manner that allows them to be cut off, disassembly functional units are formed on both sides of the tags on each part. In some cases, the tags may not be cut off, so part of the disassembly functional unit may also be formed on the tag. This configuration can also achieve the same effects as the above-described embodiment. [Explanation of symbols]
