Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a medicine wrapping machine which wraps each administered amount of a medicine in a medicine wrapping sheet, and enables easy opening even by an aged person or a child. The medicine wrapping machine uses a belt-shaped medicine wrapping sheet, and forms a plurality of divided wrapping bags continuous in a state of containing medicines therein and separated at the time of taking the medicines to wrap the medicines. A raw material of the medicine wrapping sheet is a belt-shaped transparent composite plastic sheet which includes a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet or a biaxially oriented polypropylene sheet, and a minute flaw is formed on the polyethylene terephthalate sheet or the biaxially oriented polypropylene sheet.

Abstract: A medicine supply apparatus has a tablet case containing medicines, a roll of packing paper that is open at its upper end and folded at its lower end, a nozzle whose discharge end is inserted into the packing paper upper open end for projecting medicine discharged from the tablet case, and heat seal apparatus that seals the packing paper upper open end after medicines are discharged into it. A movable tension device of an elastic member is urged toward the packing paper which applies tension to the packing paper at a location past the point where said nozzle discharge end is inserted into its upper open end at a point before when the paper is to be heat sealed.

Abstract: An object is to provide a low-temperature storage capable of further dividing a medium storage chamber divided by a medium partition into upper/lower small sections (small storage chambers) by adding of an optional component and changing of an inner door, and the storage comprising; a thermal insulation box main body having an opening in a front surface thereof; a thermal insulating door openably/closably attached to the thermal insulation box main body; a medium partition which divides the opening into upper/lower medium openings; a shelf which divides a storage chamber formed by the thermal insulating door and the main body into upper/lower chambers in a position of the medium partition; a cooling device which cools the storage chamber; a metallic optional partition member which further divides the medium openings into upper/lower openings; a frame member formed of a resin and attached to a front part of the partition member to support an optional gasket; and a plurality of inner doors which openably close

Abstract: There is disclosed a medicine supplying apparatus which can effectively eliminate medicine clogging in a nozzle for releasing a medicine into a package paper or the like. The medicine supplying apparatus supplies the medicine discharged from a tablet case which contains the medicine, and comprises the nozzle for releasing the medicine discharged from the tablet case; a shutter which is rotatably disposed in the nozzle and which opens/closes a medicine falling passage in the nozzle; and a roller which is rotatably disposed facing the medicine falling passage in the nozzle. The roller is disposed in a position at a height facing the shutter, and rotates in conjunction with the opening/closing of the shutter.

Abstract: A medicine supply apparatus to discharge a medicine into packing paper having a nozzle for discharging a medicine from a tablet case and a shutter rotatably provided in the nozzle for opening/closing a medicine drop path.

Abstract: The development of an alternate refrigerant composition which is free from a possibility of causing depletion of the ozone layer and capable of maintaining the performance of a conventional refrigerating circuit without modifying the circuit is desired. An object of the present invention is to provide such a refrigerant composition and a refrigerating circuit using the refrigerant composition. A refrigerant composition of the present invention comprises R245fa (CF3CH2CHF2), R125 (CHF2CF3), R508A (R23/R116:39/61) and R14 (tetrafluoromethane: CF4). Thus, the refrigerant composition has no possibility of causing depletion of the ozone layer. Further, since the composition is noncombustible, possible combustion can be prevented even if it leaks.
