PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to substantially reduce the power consumption without increasing the member costs and without sacrificing the usability.SOLUTION: A tablet storage device 1 comprises: a first thin layer 31, a second thin layer 32, and a third thin layer 33 which can be folded in order vertically; contact conduction parts 39 which are provided by one for each of the tablets inserted between the second thin layer 32 and the third thin layer 33, and which are disposed on the face of the first thin layer 31 opposed to the second thin layer 32; and two contacts 42 which are provided for each of the tablets and disposed, in alignment with a contact conduction part 39, separately on the face of the second thin layer opposed to the first thin layer. Holes in the external shape of a tablet are made in the third thin layer 33 such that at least the apex of the tablet protrudes from the surface of the reverse side of the third thin layer 33. When a tablet is pushed from the reverse side of the third thin layer 33 toward the front side, a contact conduction part 39 is brought into contact with the two contacts temporarily, and then the second thin layer 32 and the third thin layer 33 are partially broken for removal of the tablet.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7【課題】部材コストを上げることなく、また使い勝手を損なうことなく消費電力を大幅に削減できる。【解決手段】錠剤収納装置1は、上下に順に折り重ねられる第1薄層31、第2薄層32および第3薄層33と、第2薄層32および第3薄層33の間に挿入される錠剤のそれぞれごとに設けられ、第1薄層31の第2薄層32に対向する面上に配置される接点導通部39と、錠剤のそれぞれごとに設けられ、接点導通部39の位置に合わせて、第2薄層の第1薄層に対向する面上に分離して配置される2つの接点42と、を備える。第3薄層33は、錠剤の少なくとも頂部が第3薄層33の裏面から突出されるように、錠剤の外形形状に合わせてくり抜かれている。錠剤を第3薄層33の裏面側から表面の方向に押し込むと、一時的に2つの接点に接点導通部39が接触され、その後に第2薄層32および第3薄層33の一部が破断されて錠剤が取り出される。【選択図】図7
