Abstract

In order to reduce the space required for a sterilizing vessel for medical instruments having two U-shaped sliding brackets, if the sterilizing vessels are not placed in shelf-like frames, it is proposed that the sliding brackets be mounted, so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis running in parallel with the side walls, on the sterilizing vessel and be fixable in their horizontal position on the vessel.

Sterilizing containers for medical instruments

The invention relates to a sterilization container for medical instruments with two original-shaped sliding brackets, the two legs of which are attached to the front or rear wall in such a way that the legs connecting the legs are essentially rectilinear Bracket parts parallel to the two side walls in a plane running parallel to the bottom surface of the container run at a distance from the side walls, according to patent application P 32 17 328.8. ·

In the main patent application, a sterilization container for medical instruments is described by two U-shaped Sliding bracket can be inserted into running rails of shelf-like receiving racks. This sliding bracket allows different Widths of the racks can be compensated. However, it can be disadvantageous if the side over the sterilization container protruding sliding bracket with a very large distance between the sliding rails in the frame laterally far over the sterilization container have to protrude.

It is the object of the invention to improve a 'sterilization container of the type described in the main application in such a way that the sliding arms are arranged in the insertion position in a horizontal plane and to the side of the sterilization container stand out, but can be moved into a second position in which the

Sliding arms do not require any additional space.

In the case of the sterilization container, this task is described at the outset Type solved according to the invention in that the sliding bracket around a parallel to the Seitenwänderi running horizontal Axis are pivotably mounted on the sterilization container and can be fixed in their horizontal position on the container.

In this way, the sliding brackets can be removed from the horizontal insertion position, in which they can be fixed, pivoted into a second position in which the sliding brackets are as a whole approached to the sterilization container and therefore no longer so far from it protrude as in the horizontal insertion position.

It is particularly advantageous if the sliding brackets, in their downwardly pivoted position, connect the two legs to each other The bracket part rest against the side wall of the container.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that.the swivel bearing of the sliding bracket on opposite Place the front or the rear wall of the container is arranged.

It can be provided that the sliding brackets at the free ends of their legs are essentially parallel to that of the two The bracket part connecting the legs have bearing journals. . ·

The sliding arm is preferably made in one piece from a round rod material bent. ■

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that a bearing part receiving the bearing journals has a horizontal groove and an inclined groove, both of which are formed by a bearing opening go out, in which the journal engages, and that the

Legs of the resiliently bendable sliding bracket can snap into the horizontal or inclined grooves and thus the sliding bracket fix in one of the two angular positions.

'It is advantageous if the legs of the sliding arm a converge little and when inserting the bearing journals into the bearing openings are resiliently bent up. ·. ■ '

The following description of preferred embodiments of the The invention is used in conjunction with the drawing to provide a more detailed explanation. Show it:

FIG. 1 is a front view of a sterilization container with lateral sliding brackets;

FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the bearing piece in section A in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 shows a sectional view along line 3 - 3 in FIG. 2;

Figure 4 is a view of the bearing body in the direction of the arrow B in Figure 2 and '·'. .

FIG. 5 is a plan view of a removed from the sterilization container Sliding bracket. -

The Sterilisier.behälter shown in Figure 1 comprises a lower part 1 with a bottom 2, two opposing side walls 3 and 4 and a front wall 5 and one in the Drawing invisible back wall. On the lower part 1, a cover 7 is placed, which by means of a bolt 8 in his Closed position f. Is fixable.

The front wall 5 carries the side next to. Latch 8 two bearing bodies 9, similar bearing bodies 9 are on, the opposite on the lower side of the sterilization container attached to the rear wall. The exact structure of this bearing body 9 results from the Dar-

position of Figures 2-4 ·. It is essentially one cuboid body, which .bzw with its back on the front wall. the rear wall of the sterilization container is in contact and is connected to the sterilization container, for example by riveting. The bearing body has a perpendicular to the front wall or · the back wall of the sterilization container 10, from which a horizontal groove 11 extends in the direction runs on the adjacent side wall of the sterilization container to the end of the bearing body. Continue to go from the hole a downward sloping groove .12, which forms an acute angle with the groove and extends to the lower edge of the bearing body extends. ·

A U-shaped sliding bracket 13 with two legs 14 and 15 and a straight bracket part 16 connecting these has to the free ends of the legs 14 and 15 inwardly bent bearing journals 17, 18 on. This sliding bracket is preferably bent in one piece from a round rod material in such a way that. the two legs converge by a few degrees in the direction of their free ends, as is clear from the illustration in FIG. The material, from which the sliding bracket 13 is made, it allows .die 'two . Legs 14 and 15 to be bent open resiliently, for example the sliding arm · made of steel ·.

The Gieitbügel · are in the opposite · bearing bodies inserted that the two journals 17 and 18 of the bracket in the aligned holes -10. the ent- ■ speaking 'bearing body engage on the front wall and on the · rear wall of the' container and thus a rotary bearing for the Slide bar · 13 biiden, whose axis of rotation is defined by the aligned 'longitudinal axes of the bores - 10.

the sterilization container can be in the one not shown in the drawing Slide rails of a shelf-shaped frame are inserted.

In a second position, indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG Lines are shown> lay down the. Legs 14 and 15 of the .Gleitbügel in the downward sloping groove 12 of the La- ' body and · are fixed in this position. The inclination the groove is preferably chosen so that in this position the bracket parts 16 connecting the two legs to the Side walls 3 and 4 of the sterilization container are in contact.

To move the sliding arm from the horizontal position to the inclined position Pivoting the downward position only needs to ■ ·. lent the legs of the sliding arm to be bent up a bit, so that they are passed over the side walls 19 and 20 of the grooves 11 can be (Figure 3).

The folded down brackets practically no longer protrude from the side of the sterilization container, i.e. they interfere with normal operation the sliding arm in this position in no way.

Is it also possible to remove the sliding bracket from the sterilization container when the sterilization process in the rack is finished? this is possible in a simple manner by bending open the two legs. In the same way, the. Sliding bracket; in again the bearing bodies are used when the container is to be pushed back into a frame.
