Suspension device for a container

809833/1092

The invention provides a suspension device for a Created container with parenteral solution, wherein the container with the container top formed in one piece Has retaining element equipped with slots which, when pressed against a rod or hook, form triangular prongs that reduce lateral movement along the rod.

In surgery, parenteral fluids are used in a large Scope used. Saline solutions, glucose, and sterile drug solutions, Antibiotics in particular, are usually given intravenously at a time to maintain saline balance or to provide nutrients or antibiotics to the patient. These medicines will be common Supplied in glass bottles or containers with a net volume of one liter or a fraction thereof. Usually the container can hold 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml or 1 liter of the solution. These solutions are made in a known manner dispensed while the bottle is hung with its mouth down, with the closure of the container or the Bottle is connected to the patient by a longer piece of tubing.

The hanging device for the bottle is usually with connected to the broad bottom of the bottle and has a tab or protrusion, the one hook or one Rod captured on a stand. Many such devices are currently on the market and all have the same task namely to hold the bottle or container at a point centered on the device itself. However have all devices have a common defect, since no precautions have been taken to prevent lateral movement, what is particularly important when the patient and container are connected and in motion.

The invention eliminates this disadvantage of the known suspension devices, by providing a hanger

8098 ^ 33 7-1092

is placed, which is equipped with slots, the triangular Prongs. Form after being pressed against the hook or rod, allowing lateral movement is reduced to a minimum without preventing easy removal of the bottle if necessary, for example to exchange solutions.

The invention thus relates to a suspension device for a container, and in particular a hanger, the incisions through a one-piece top wall portion has, which are used to adjust and to grasp the holder, such as a hook or a rod, whereby lateral movement is reduced to a minimum.

The invention is illustrated with reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the attached Drawing easier to understand.

1 shows a plan view of the intravenous container from below, the bottom of which has the suspension device according to the invention forms,

Fig. 2 shows a vertical section along the line 22 of Fig. 1,

FIG. 3 shows a partial perspective view of that in FIG. 1 specified container suspension device, wherein the holding device is bent upwards into its operating position.

According to the drawing, the suspension device in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are provided with the reference number 11. The hanging device has a substantially flat top wall portion 12 and a protruding flange used for mounting 13 with a substantially cylindrical shape, which with a undercut bead 14 is provided, which is in a complementary Incision 15 in the lower region of the container 16 snaps into place.

The upper wall section 12 is provided with a holding device provided, which consists of an upwardly projecting thin-walled retaining tab element that has a protruding upper Has end 18 which is integral with the upper wall portion

12 and is connected to the flange 13. This top end 18 must be hand pulled from the circumference of the flange

13 must be separated before the device can be used can, whereby a non-use as well as the automatic connection of the suspension device 11 to the container 16 is ensured because there are no protruding areas are. The lower connecting end 19 is integral with the thin-walled plastic material of the thin-walled upper wall section 12 connected to the suspension device 11 for the container and formed therefrom. The passage opening for hanging the holding device 17 is formed by circumferentially spaced slots 20, which intersect and form triangular prongs 21 between them, which are flexible and resilient and which when they against a Rod or hook 22, ensure that the container 16 remains suspended and allows lateral movement is reduced to a minimum. However, removal is not hindered if the device is off the rod or hook is removed.

The hanger 11 is preferably made using a suitable polymeric material such as polyethylene low density, polypropylene, or copolymers of these and similar materials are molded, extruded or vacuum formed.

Further modifications of the invention are within the scope of the attached Claims possible.
