 wherein said capsule retrieve sheet is folded down at said first line and said second line, folded up at said third line, folded down at said fourth line and said fifth line, folded up at said sixth line, and folded down at said seventh line, so that a first side surface of said recess that has an outline including said fourth line and said seventh line is formed.    
   
   
       9 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 8 , wherein a first angle between said second line and said third line is identical to a second angle between said second line and said fourth line, so that said capsule retrieve sheet can be folded as said third line and said fourth line overlap.  
   
   
       10 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 8 , wherein said fold further comprises an eighth line, a ninth line, a tenth line, an eleventh line, a twelfth line, and a thirteenth line that are symmetric to said second line, said third line, said fourth line, said fifth line, said sixth line, and said seventh line, respectively, across a line that runs through the center of said capsule retrieve sheet and that is parallel to said long side; 
 wherein said capsule retrieve sheet is further folded down at said eighth line, folded up at said ninth line, folded down at said tenth line and said eleventh line, folded up at said twelfth line, and folded down at said thirteenth line, so that a second side surface of said recess that opposes said first side surface is further formed.    
   
   
       11 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 10 , wherein a third angle between said fifth line and said sixth line is identical to a fourth angle between said fifth line and said seventh line, so that said capsule retrieve sheet can be folded as said sixth line and said seventh line overlap.  
   
   
       12 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 10 , wherein said recess has a V-shaped section perpendicular to said first line, and said first line running at the bottom of said recess connects said first side surface and said second side surface.  
   
   
       13 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 10 , wherein said fold further comprises a fourteenth line that is parallel to said short side and that intersects said third line and said ninth line, and a fifteenth line that is parallel to said short side and that intersects said sixth line and said twelfth line; 
 wherein said capsule retrieve sheet is further folded down at said fourteenth line and said fifteenth line, so that a third side surface and a fourth side surface are between said first side surface and said second side surface; said third side surface having an outline of said first line, a part of said third line, a part of said ninth line, and said fourteenth line; said fourth side surface having an outline of said first line, a part of said sixth line, a part of said twelfth line, and said fifteenth line, are further formed.    
   
   
       14 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 10 , wherein a first wing that has an outline including a first short side of the outline of said capsule retrieve sheet, and a second wing that has an outline including a second short side of the outline of said capsule retrieve sheet, are formed.  
   
   
       15 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of said holes are arranged along said first line.  
   
   
       16 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 1 , wherein whether said fold should be folded up or be folded down is indicated beside said fold.  
   
   
       17 . The capsule retrieve sheet according to  claim 1 , wherein said fold is lightly cut on the surface.
