Partition Plate For Use In V-Measure Of Medicine Packing Device

Abstract

There is provided a partition plate for use in a V-shaped measure of a medicine packing device, which allows a medicine remaining in the V-shaped measure to be easily cleaned and is smoothly reciprocated in the V-shaped measure. The partition plate 7 comprises: a slide member 8 including a guide receiving portion 11 and being attached so as to be reciprocated along a side plate 4 ; and a partition member 9 including a guide portion 18 removably guided by the guide receiving portion 11 of the slide member 8 , the partition member being reciprocated in the V-shaped measure 1 while being maintained parallel to end plates 5 . A grasping portion 8 a for grasping the partition plate 7 is integrally provided in the slide member 8 . Grasping the grasping portion 8 a and moving the partition plate 7 prevent the partition plate 7 from flexing and smoothly moves the partition plate 7 in the V-shaped measure.

The partition plate of  claim 1 , wherein the partition member includes an auxiliary member pivotably attached to the partition member, the auxiliary member pivoting according to pivoting of the opening and closing plate to maintain an abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate,
 wherein the auxiliary member includes a protruding portion, the protruding portion abutting an edge of the partition plate within a range not to obstruct the abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate to thereby restrict a pivotal movement of the auxiliary member.   
     
     
         7 . The partition plate of  claim 2 , wherein the grasping portion is formed along a position where a hand of an operator is placed on the partition plate when the operator handles the partition plate. 
     
     
         8 . The partition plate of  claim 2 , wherein the grasping portion is formed along a position where fingers except for a thumb in any one of left and right hands of an operator are placed. 
     
     
         9 . The partition plate of  claim 3 , wherein the grasping portion is formed along a position where fingers except for a thumb in any one of left and right hands of an operator are placed. 
     
     
         10 . The partition plate of  claim 7 , wherein the grasping portion is formed along a position where fingers except for a thumb in any one of left and right hands of an operator are placed. 
     
     
         11 . The partition plate of  claim 2 , wherein the partition member contacts the grasping portion in a section opposite to the grasping portion. 
     
     
         12 . The partition plate of  claim 3 , wherein the partition member contacts the grasping portion in a section opposite to the grasping portion. 
     
     
         13 . The partition plate of  claim 4 , wherein the partition member contacts the grasping portion in a section opposite to the grasping portion. 
     
     
         14 . The partition plate of  claim 7 , wherein the partition member contacts the grasping portion in a section opposite to the grasping portion. 
     
     
         15 . The partition plate of  claim 2 , wherein the partition member includes an auxiliary member pivotably attached to the partition member, the auxiliary member pivoting according to pivoting of the opening and closing plate to maintain an abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate,
 wherein the auxiliary member includes a protruding portion, the protruding portion abutting an edge of the partition plate within a range not to obstruct the abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate to thereby restrict a pivotal movement of the auxiliary member.   
     
     
         16 . The partition plate of  claim 3 , wherein the partition member includes an auxiliary member pivotably attached to the partition member, the auxiliary member pivoting according to pivoting of the opening and closing plate to maintain an abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate,
 wherein the auxiliary member includes a protruding portion, the protruding portion abutting an edge of the partition plate within a range not to obstruct the abutment state with respect to the opening and closing plate to thereby restrict a pivotal movement of the auxiliary member.
