PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To construct a continuously operable tableting machine for producing a tablet incorporating an IC chip at a desired position.CONSTITUTION: An IC chip 30 includes a chip body 32 protruding from one side of a base film 31. An upper punch 13 comprises an outer punch part 16 and a middle punch part 17 arranged to be relatively movable up and down with respect to the outer punch part. With respect to a powdered medicine supplied into a mortar 11 before supply of the IC chip (a-c), protruded is the middle punch part from a lower end of the outer punch part to form a recess 15a in the surface of the powdered medicine (d, e), the IC chip is placed on the surface of the powdered medicine so that the chip body is fitted into the recess (f), the powdered medicine is supplied into the mortar to cover the IC chip (h), and the powdered medicine filled in the mortar between the upper punch and a lower punch 12 is compressed from above and below (j).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】 ICチップを所望の位置に内蔵する錠剤を製造する連続運転可能な打錠機を構成すること【構成】 ICチップ30は、ベースフィルム31の片面に突出したチップ本体32を有する。上杵13は、外杵部16と、外杵部に相対的に昇降可能に配置した中杵部17とを備える。ICチップの供給前の臼11内に供給した薬剤粉末に対し (a~c)、中杵部を外杵部の下端から突出させて薬剤粉末の表面に窪み部15aを形成し(de)、窪み部にチップ本体を嵌め込むようにして薬剤粉末の表面にICチップを置き(f)、臼内に薬剤粉末を供給してICチップを覆い(h)、上杵と下杵12との間で臼内に充填された薬剤粉末を上下から圧縮するように構成した(j)。【選択図】 図2
