Patent number: 10163202Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic blood-sampling tube preparation device which can detect the presence of the proper or improper blood-sampling tube by selectively taking out a blood-sampling tube and transferring the blood-sampling tube to a label pasting position, printing information of the patient on a label, pasting the printed label on the blood-sampling tube positioned in the label pasting position, and collecting the label pasted blood-sampling tubes in the container for each patient. The device also includes photographing means for photographing an appearance of the blood-sampling tube taken out from the blood-sampling tube containing section and a control means arranged to have a threshold with respect to at least one characteristic information previously extracted from an appearance of a blood-sampling tube, to extract the characteristic information from the appearance image photographed to judge whether the blood-sampling tube corresponds to the instruction information from the doctor.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: TECHNO MEDICA CO., LTD.Inventors: Toshikazu Matsumoto, Yoshimi Hirasawa, Yasushi Nakano, Yusuke Wada, Ichiro Nakamura

Patent number: 9033020Abstract: A labeling device comprising a guide frame, rotatably supporting a label roll formed by winding around a core a label holding band, which releasably holds a plurality of labels in series, and a peeling member which peels the printed label from the band by bending the band at an acute angle towards a slanting lower part in relation to the direction of movement of the band. The labeling device comprises a guide unit that is pivotally provided for nipping and holding a leading edge of the label holding band in front of the peeling member and is rotatable around the peeling member with the leading edge of the band so that the leading edge of the band is automatically brought to a feeding roller arranged on the slanting lower part of the peeling member in relation to the direction of the movement of the label holding band.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignees: Techno Medica Co., Ltd., Autonics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshikazu Matsumoto, Yoshimi Hirasawa, Yasushi Nakano, Mitsuyuki Suzuki, Kazuo Kuwahara, Masashi Hamano, Takeshi Yokochi
