  • Patent number: 7868741
    Abstract: A medication managing apparatus includes a medicine package case and a main body unit removably storing the medicine package case. The medicine package case includes blocks each storing a medicine package, openings provided at walls of each block and formed at positions facing each other such that the medicine package stored in the block is sandwiched therebetween, and an openable/closable cover. The main body unit includes a sensor portion (a medicine package sensor) disposed corresponding to each opening at the opposing walls of each block, to sense a medicine package based on that the medicine package stored in the block blocks a gap between a pair of openings, and a switch lever and a micro-switch (a medicine package case sensor) sensing attachment/removal of the medicine package case to/from the main body unit.

  • Publication number: 20090001094
    Abstract: A medication managing apparatus, comprising a medicine package case formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape to store medicine packages in which medicine taken by users is contained. The medicine package case comprises a plurality of blocks partitioned by walls, arranged parallel with each other, and storing medicine packages, openings formed in the opposed walls of the blocks at positions facing each other through the medicine packages stored in the blocks, and an openable cover covering the plurality of blocks and enabling the storage and taking-out of the medicine packages. The blocks are formed in the flat rectangular parallelepiped shape, and arranged in the depth direction of the medicine package case while alternately displacing positions in the depth direction. The openings are formed in the opposed walls of the blocks at positions in the depth direction of the blocks.
