Patent number: 6691490Abstract: A drug packaging system including a bag supply unit (A) for printing injection drug information on bags and feeding the bags, a drug feed unit (B) for putting drugs specified the doctors' orders into each of the bags (206) received from the bag supply unit (A), and a packaging unit for putting the bags (206) into a bucket (209). The packaging unit includes a bed (230) for supporting bags, a mouth-opening means (231, 232) for opening the mouth of the bag on the bed, and a chute (233) through which drugs are fed into the bag on the bed through the bag mouth. The bed (230) is pivotable between a position for putting drugs into the bag and a position for dispensing the bag.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2000Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yuyama SeisakushoInventors: Shoji Yuyama, Hiroshi Nose, Tsuyoshi Kodama, Kunihiko Kano, Masahiko Kasuya, Yasuhiro Shigeyama

Patent number: 6189728Abstract: An ampule feeder which can store a necessary number of ampules at the outlet so that ampules can be instantly discharged one by one in response to a discharge signal from the ampule feeder in which are randomly stored many ampules. The ampule feeder has a detachably mounted ampule container having a bottom plate inclinable in one direction. Ampules raised by an ampule receiver are fed by an endless belt of a dispenser and a predetermined number of them are stored in grooves formed in a rotor of a discharge means provided at the outlet. In response to a discharge signal, a necessary number of ampules are discharged.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yuyama SeisakushoInventors: Shoji Yuyama, Kunihiko Kano, Yasuhiro Shigeyama, Tsuyoshi Kodama, Shinya Yasuda

Patent number: 6006947Abstract: An injection drug dispensing system which can quickly dispense injection drug includes a control unit and an injection drug dispenser of the type that requires drugs to be stored in order. The dispenser has a plurality of storage units each including a plurality of cassettes in which are stored many drugs. Each storage unit has an intermediate container into which drugs discharged from the cassettes are collected. The control unit creates a table for drug dispensing data, registers the dispensing data by the numbers attached to the data, and creates a queue in a register for determining the order in which drugs are discharged into the intermediate containers. Drugs can thus be concurrently dispensed into the intermediate containers.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1998Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yuyama SeisakushoInventor: Kunihiko Kano

Patent number: 5988501Abstract: An identification device and method which includes adding an identification pattern to an identification object. The pattern is formed by the absence or presence of identification holes located at a plurality of points on the identification object. In addition, the holes are spaced from one another at a specified pitch. Next, the identification object is transferred along a transfer path parallel to the identification pattern. Then light or an ultrasonic wave is transmitted from one side of the transfer path in a transverse direction of the transfer path. Identification of the identification pattern of the identification object is determined on whether or not the light or the ultrasonic wave is received on the other side of the transfer path.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Yuyama Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takaaki Murakami, Kunihiko Kano

Patent number: 5838245Abstract: A drug storage/discharge apparatus having a cleaning time determining device which can detect dirt in drug discharge paths and determine when it is necessary to clean the discharge paths. A motor control circuit controls each feeder to discharge drugs from the feeder through its discharge opening. A light-emitting diode and a phototransistor are provided opposite to each other at the discharge opening. A drug discharged from the feeder intercepts the light from the light-emitting diode, thus fluctuating the output of the phototransistor. Based on the output fluctuation, the motor control circuit can confirm that a drug has been discharged. A low-pass filter is provided to apply only a low-frequency component of the output of the phototransistor to a comparator. Such low-frequency components represent to what degree the light-emitting diode and phototransitor are soiled.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yuyama SeisakushoInventors: Takaaki Murakami, Kunihiko Kano

Patent number: 5678393Abstract: A drug packing apparatus capable of packing drug efficiently irrespective of the distances between a drug packing position and drug storage positions. Drugs dropped from one of a plurality of feeders in one of a plurality of feeder units are stopped by a first intermediate impeller. The drugs are then dropped onto a second intermediate impeller, and then into a discharge hole in a hopper and stopped by a hopper cover. By opening the hopper cover, the drugs on the hopper cover drop into the folded packing sheet. By rotating heater rollers by 180.degree., a pouch is formed with the drugs packed therein.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1996Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yuyama SeisakushoInventors: Shoji Yuyama, Kunihiko Kano, Hirotaka Hayashi

Patent number: 5671592Abstract: A medicine packing apparatus includes medicine storage shelves for storing a large number of medicine containers having medicines contained therein, and a comparatively small number of medicine feeders on each of which one of the large number of medicine containers is set for feeding medicine in a quantity conforming to a prescription. Store location memory means and set location memory means are provided which respectively memorize data on the store location of each individual medicine in the storage shelves and data on set location of the medicine in the feeders. If a medicine container corresponding to a prescription is not present in the set location, a search is made in the storage shelves, and then the searched location of the medicine is indicated accordingly. When a medicine container taken out from the storage shelves is set on one of the feeders, an identification device provided on the medicine container is read by a reader, and data on the set location is stored into a set location memory.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1995Date of Patent: September 30, 1997Assignee: Yuyama Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shoji Yuyama, Takaaki Murakami, Kunihiko Kano
