First Claim
1. A puncturing apparatus comprising:
- a housing having a first case and a second case, the housing configured to move at least one of the first case and the second case so that the cases are in an overlapping state in which the first case and the second case overlap one another, or are in a non-overlapping state;
a puncturer received in the housing, the puncturer configured to perform puncturing through a puncturing opening;
a puncture starting mechanism having a puncturing button, the puncture starting mechanism configured to activate the puncturer;
a first safety section configured to prevent exposure of at least one of the puncturing opening and the puncturing button upon movement of the first case and the second case to the overlapping state; and
a second safety section configured to disable operation of the puncture starting mechanism in the non-overlapping state of the first case and the second case,wherein the second safety section is a pedestal having the puncturing opening, the pedestal being provided in one of the first case and the second case, and being disposed between the first case and the second case in the overlapping state, andthe pedestal is subjected to being pressed by the first case and the second case in the overlapping state so as to cover the puncturing opening with the first case or the second case, and is released from being pressed in the non-overlapping state so as to disable the operation of the puncture starting mechanism.

Abstract
A puncturing apparatus includes a housing having a first case and a second case, the housing configured to move at least one of the first case and the second case so that the cases are in an overlapping state in which the first case and the second case overlap one another or a non-overlapping state. A puncturer is housed in the housing and a puncture starting mechanism, having a puncturing button, is configured to activate the puncturer. A first safety section is configured to prevent at least one of the puncturing opening and the puncturing button from being exposed, by placing the first case and the second case in the overlapping state, and a second safety section is configured to disable operation of the puncture starting mechanism in the non-overlapping state of the first case and the second case.
