DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a box-type file, and more particularly to a box-type file suitably used for binding and storing and managing medical charts, examination sheets or other treatment data sheets in hospitals and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that hospitals manage medical data such as medical records and radiographs of patients by binding them to files. This type of file conventionally used is a relatively thin spine 101 made of synthetic resin, as indicated by reference numeral 100 in FIG.
Are formed by integrally connecting two side edges of two thin cover sheets made of the same material, that is, covers 102 and 103 (connection portions are indicated by reference numerals 104 and 105).

A binding member 106 for binding a medical chart or the like is fixed to one cover sheet 102 along a connecting portion 104 with the spine 101 and in the vicinity thereof. On the inner surface of the other cover sheet 103, a pocket 107 for storing various data entry sheets including a consultation ticket, an ID card, a radiograph, an examination sheet, and the like is formed.

[0004] The binding hardware 106 is used for files generally sold as office stationery, and includes a large number of binding claws 10 arranged in parallel along the spine 101.
6a, the bases which are one ends of the multiple binding claws 106a are integrated, and the multiple binding claws 106a are fixed to the cover sheet 102 by small levers (not shown) provided at both ends. It is configured to open and close with respect to the plate 106b.

[0005] Sheets such as charts are formed by a large number of binding claws 106a.
Is opened and closed and bound so that each claw can enter into a number of holes formed along one side edge of the chart. This binding method is the same as a general file. Then, the consultation ticket and the ID card are cut into the notch 107a formed in the pocket 107 provided on the inner surface of the left cover sheet 103.
, And the radiographs and other papers are inserted into the pocket 107 from the upper opening and stored.

[0006] Further, when the file 100 is carried around, the documents in the file, especially the pocket 1 are stored.
In order to prevent the cover sheets 102 and 103 from opening so that the small paper or the photo put in the cover 07 does not fall, the inner sides thereof are connected to the outer side (the connecting portions 104, 1 and 1 with the spine).
At the corners on the side edge (opposite side 05), a mating stop, that is, a male button hook 108 and a female button hook 109 are provided.

[0007] The above-mentioned file 1 for binding and storing medical data such as medical records and radiographs, etc.
00 is stored in a rack cabinet installed in a storage room (room) in the hospital, and the file 100 is taken in and out of the rack cabinet, that is, taking out and entering is performed by an automatic unloading device.

[0008] In order to take out the file 100 from the rack cabinet by such an automatic take-out apparatus, the spine 101 of the file 100 has two upper and lower parts.
Lock holes 110 are formed at various locations. The automatic unloading device has a draw-out locking rod (pinning rod) with a hook at the tip (head), which comes in and out of the main unit of the unloading device and stores the hook of the head in file 1.
00 and hooked out of the rack cabinet.

[0009]

Conventionally, the structure of a file 100 used for storing and managing medical records and radiographs in hospitals and the like has been described. However, such a file 100 has the following problems. there were. That is, when a patient undergoes medical examination or examination at a hospital, the patient may carry the file 100 to internal medicine or surgery, or may go to an examination room equipped with respective facilities to receive necessary examinations and the like.

[0010] At this time, the file 100 includes a chart sheet bound to a binding member 106, a consultation ticket, an ID card, or the like inserted into the pocket 107 from the cutout 107a. Paper may be placed in the pocket 107.

In this case, as described above, the cover sheet 1
The male and female button hooks 108 and 109 provided at the corners on the outer edges of the files 100 and 102 are closely attached to each other so that the cards and papers contained in the file 100 are not pressed out and fall out. Have been.

However, when the patient carries the file 100 containing such important various cards and papers in the hospital, a relatively small paper, photograph or photo or card in the pocket in the file 100 is carried out. There is a problem that the kind gradually comes off due to vibration and falls off the file 100 and may be lost.

Of course, the charts and the like bound by the binding hardware 106 do not fall off, but there are various sizes or thicknesses of paper used in the hospital. These forms are
Even if it is put in the pocket 107 formed on the inner surface of the cover sheet of the file 100, it may come off at some time, and these often fall off the file 100 and are lost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is intended to use a sheet which cannot be bound with a binding metal, a sheet of various sizes or thicknesses, a radiograph, a card, or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a box-type file that does not easily fall out even if it is carried in a file.

[0015]

According to the box type file of the present invention, two cover covers formed of a relatively hard material are integrally connected to both side edges of a spine made of substantially the same material. In the box-type file configured as described above, each of the cover cover portions has a flat surface-shaped cover sheet having one side edge integrally connected to the spine cover, and two of the cover sheets in each of the cover cover portions. And a binding wall fixed to the cover sheet of one of the cover cover portions and having a number of binding members aligned along the spine, on one or both insides of the cover wall rising substantially perpendicularly from the outer peripheral edge. When the two cover covers are overlapped with each other with a connecting portion between the spine and the cover sheet or a middle portion in the width direction of the spine as a hinge, two The cover cover portion and the surrounding wall together is fitted in, or with the surrounding wall or between the cover sheet is characterized by being composed in a box-type by contact.

In the box type file according to the present invention, when the two cover cover portions are opened right and left from a box-shaped closed state, the cover cover portion located on the right side of the spine covers the cover cover portion. The surrounding wall, which is erected at least along the lower edge at the outer peripheral edge of the sheet,
It is characterized by being formed lower than other surrounding walls.
In addition, in the cover cover portions located on both sides of the spine, the surrounding wall, which is erected at least along the lower edge at the outer peripheral edge of the cover sheet, is formed lower than other surrounding walls. It is also preferred.

In the box type file according to the present invention, one end of the cover sheet to which the binding metal is fixed can be pivoted between the outer edge of the cover sheet and the side edge of the sheet fixed to the binding metal. , And further comprising a pivoting strip having a length positioned on the sheet bound at the other end by the binding member.

[0018] In this case, the rotating bookmark strip may have a length such that the other end reaches the binding member, and the other end of the binding member constituting the binding member is provided at the other end. By providing a notch into which at least one inserts, it is possible to prevent the swiveling strip from easily rotating.

The box type file according to the present invention is characterized in that a locking hole used when the file is taken out from a rack cabinet for storing the file by an automatic take-out device is formed in the spine. Further, the box-type file as described above can be suitably used for storing and managing documents such as various kinds of treatment data including medical charts.

A method of using a box-type file having such features as a tool for binding and storing medical records or the like in a hospital or the like will be described. When stored inside, they overlap each other.

[0023]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a box type file according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a box-type file 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the box-type file 10 in an open state, and FIG. It is a perspective view of the state which carried out.

The box type file 10 of this embodiment
As a whole, two relatively hard cover cover portions 11 and 12 formed of a synthetic resin material are integrally connected to both side edges of a spine 13 made of substantially the same material by thin resin portions, respectively. Of the hinges 13a, 13b
Is configured as Each cover cover part 11, 12
The flat sheet-like cover sheets 11a and 12a and the surrounding wall 11 which rises almost vertically along the outer peripheral edge of the inner surface of each of the cover sheets 11a and 12a.
b and 12b.

However, the "outer peripheral edge" of the inner surface of each of the cover sheets 11a and 12a means that the cover sheets 11a and 12a and the spine 1
3 does not include a connecting portion, and thus no surrounding wall is formed along the connecting portion. Therefore, each cover sheet 11
Enclosure walls 11b, 12b respectively formed on a, 12a
Has a substantially U-shape as a whole when viewed in plan.

The surrounding wall 11b formed on the inner surface of the cover sheet 11a in the cover cover 11 as described above is formed at a position slightly inward from the outer peripheral edge of the cover sheet 11a. The surrounding wall 12b formed on the inner surface of the cover sheet 12a in the other cover cover part 12 is formed at the position of the exact outer peripheral edge of the cover sheet 12a. In this case, the dimension of one of the cover sheets 11a inward from the outer peripheral edge of the surrounding wall 11b substantially matches the thickness of the surrounding wall 12b formed on the inner surface of the other cover sheet 12a.

Thus, the two cover sheets 11a,
When the cover covers 11 and 12 are overlapped, the surrounding walls 11b and 12b formed on the 12a are tightly fitted as if by a relationship between an inner box and an outer box. Furthermore, the enclosure wall 11 provided on each cover sheet 11a, 12a
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the box-type file 10 is opened, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the enclosure wall 11b provided on the cover sheet surface 11a of the cover cover portion 11 located on the right side. Has a slight height (H
1), and the surrounding wall 1 provided on the cover sheet 12a of the cover cover section 12 located on the left side.
2b is a height (H) substantially equal to the width (W) of the spine 13
2).

The reason why the height of the surrounding wall 11b formed on the cover sheet 11a of the cover cover portion 11 located on the right side when the file 10 is opened as described above is usually reduced because of the spine of the cover sheet 11a. Since the binding member 14 is provided in the vicinity of and along the connecting portion with the patient 13, the chart paper K and the like bound by the binding member 14 are located on the cover sheet 11a.

When filling in necessary information on the chart sheet K or the like, writing is often performed with the binding sheet 14 being bound, and in this case, if there is a high surrounding wall at the lower edge of the cover sheet 11a, the chart sheet will be written. The arm extended on the wall makes it difficult to write on the surrounding wall.
That is, the surrounding wall 11b of 1a is lowered. It should be noted that the chart paper K generally has description fields on both sides. Therefore, when the box-type file 10 is viewed in an open state, when the user turns over the cover sheet surface 12a of the cover cover portion 12 located on the left side and tries to write on the back surface of the chart paper K, the box-shaped file 10 is formed along the lower edge portion. The surrounding wall 12b is in the way. Therefore, it is also preferable that a part of the surrounding wall 12b standing upright along the lower edge of the cover sheet surface 12a is formed low (indicated by reference numeral 12c) as shown by a virtual line in FIG. In this case, when the cover covers 11 and 12 are closed to form a box shape, a small opening is formed in the lower side wall surface of the file 10. If the size of the inspection paper or the like is determined, these papers and the like do not fall out of the file 10.

By the way, the binding member 14 provided near and along the hinge portion 13a, which is a connection portion of the cover sheet 11a with the spine 13, is the same as that used in the conventional file described above. It is substantially the same, and is composed of a large number of binding members or claws 14 a arranged side by side along the spine 13.

The bases, which are one ends of the plurality of claw portions 14a, are integrated, and the plurality of claw portions 1a are provided by small levers (not shown) provided at both ends.
Plate 14b with 4a fixed to cover sheet 11a
It is configured to open and close with respect to. In the box-type file according to the present invention, the configuration of the binding member is not important, and therefore, a binding member including a number of openable and closable binding members which are conventionally used and have a ring shape in a binding state may be used.

Further, this box type file 10 is shown in FIG.
2, when opened, a portion of the surrounding wall 11b provided along an edge located below one of the cover sheets 11a is located on an extension of the binding metal 14 in the longitudinal direction. It is formed higher than other parts. The reason for this is to prevent the user from accidentally touching the binding metal 14 and injuring him / her when the user reaches out on the cover sheet 11a to write on, for example, a chart sheet bound by the binding metal 14.

When the box-type file 10 is viewed in an opened state, one hook plate 15 is provided at a substantially middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the right edge of one cover cover portion 11.
A thin hinge portion 15a made of resin is provided on a side edge of the cover sheet 11a.
And are connected by The surrounding wall 1 formed on the left edge of the other cover cover 12
2b is partially recessed inward in the longitudinal middle part, thereby forming a recess 16 in the outer part.

As shown in FIG. 3, the recess 16 is designed to have a size and an accurate position so that the hook plate 15 can be accommodated when the box-shaped file 10 is closed. A projection 16a is formed on the outer surface of the surrounding wall forming the wall surface of the recess 16, and the above-described hook plate 15 is bent at the hinge portion 15a to form the recess 16a.
When pushed into the inside, hook-shaped locking pieces 15b formed on the edge of the hook plate 15 are locked to the projections 16a to connect the cover covers 11, 12.

The cover sheet 1 of the cover cover 12
As in the conventional file, a pocket 17 is formed in 2a for storing various data entry sheets including radiographs and inspection sheets. The consultation ticket and the ID card are inserted into the pocket 17 from a cutout portion 17a formed on the surface of the pocket 17 and held.

This box-type file 10 is stored and managed in a rack cabinet installed in a storage (room) in a hospital by binding treatment data and the like such as charts and radiographs. At this time, the transfer of the box-type file 10 into and out of the rack cabinet, that is, the outgoing and incoming, is performed by the automatic unloading device as in the related art.

In order for the box-type file 10 to be unloaded from the rack cabinet by this automatic unloading device, the spine 13 of the box-type file 10 has upper and lower portions similar to the conventional file 100 shown in FIG. Lock holes 18 are formed at two places, so that a lock rod for pulling out from the main body of the automatic unloading device, that is, a pinning rod can be locked by a hook-shaped head.

The cover sheets 11a and 12a of the cover covers 11 and 12 are provided with reinforcing ribs 19 which are linearly raised in order to increase the surface rigidity. By the way, the cover sheet 11a to which the binding metal 14 is fixed is provided with a relatively thin and flexible resin-made turning band strip 20. One end of the pivoting bookmark strip 20 is pivotably attached to the inner surface of the cover sheet 11a exposed between the outer edge of the cover sheet 11a and the side edge of the chart sheet fixed to the binding metal fitting 14. I have.

The rotating bookmark strip 20 has a length at least on the chart paper K bound by the binding member 14, and preferably has a length at which the other end reaches the binding member 14. The other end of the rotating bookmark strip 20 is provided with a claw portion 14 a as a binding member constituting the binding member 14.
Is formed with a notch portion 20a into which at least one of them is inserted.

Due to the presence of the rotating bookmark strip 20, the pages sandwiching the rotating bookmark strip 20 can be immediately opened from among the many medical records K bound by the binding fitting 14. Since the notched portion 20a formed at the other end is locked to the binding member, that is, the claw portion 14a, which forms the binding member 14, the rotating bookmark band plate 20 does not easily rotate, and its position is changed. Can be held. However, when writing on the chart, the end is slightly lifted to release the engagement between the cut portion 20a and the claw portion 14a, and when the chart is turned downward, the chart K can be removed from the chart K.

Next, a method of using the box type file 10 according to this embodiment will be described. For convenience of explanation,
Description will be made from a state in which the file 10 is closed in a box shape as shown in FIG. This file 1
0 is box-shaped when closed.

When the file 10 is used from this closed state, first, the fasteners or hook plates 15 for connecting and fixing the overlapping cover covers 11, 12 are removed from the inside of the recess 16. , Each cover cover part 11, 1
2 is opened to the left and right as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG.

For a sheet having a large number of binding holes on one side, such as a medical chart K, the binding metal 14 is opened and the binding is performed so that the large number of claw portions 14a enter each hole, as in the related art. Be included. Other than that, for example, treatment data sheets such as radiographs and various examination sheets are stored in the pocket 17.
The medical examination ticket and the ID card are inserted into the pocket 17 from the cutout 17a and held.

After each sheet is bound in the binding member 14 and inserted into the pocket 17 in this manner, the cover cover portions 11 and 12 are again overlapped as described above. Thus, the surrounding walls 11b, 1b, which rise substantially vertically from the outer peripheral edge inside the respective cover sheets 11a, 12a in the respective cover cover portions 11, 12, are formed.
2b are tightly fitted to each other, and as shown in FIG. 3, a box shape, that is, a box shape that is substantially closed to the extent that paper or the like does not fall from the inside, is obtained.

Therefore, even if the consultation ticket or the examination paper comes out of the predetermined storage section while carrying the file 10, it does not immediately fall out of the file, and important documents such as radiographs and examination paper are lost. Can be prevented.

The case where the box type file of the above-described embodiment is used for storing a medical chart K, a radiograph, an inspection sheet, or the like in a hospital or the like has been described.
The box type file of the present invention is not limited to such a use example.

Accordingly, it is not essential to provide a pocket on the cover sheet surface of the cover cover portion of this box type file, and it is not necessary to provide a pocket if it is not required for the application. In addition, two cover cover parts 11, 1
2, the connecting portion between the spine 13 and each of the cover sheets 11a12a is opened and closed as a hinge portion. However, one thin resin hinge portion is formed at the widthwise intermediate portion of the spine 13 to open and close. You may.

Further, in the present invention, it is important that when the two cover covers are overlapped, that is, when this file is closed, the document put in a "box type" is not easily dropped. Although it is a characteristic, the "box type" referred to in this specification does not mean a completely sealed state, that is, a box shape in which the smallest card or paper to be inserted inside the file does not fall You only have to present it.

Therefore, the meaning of the “box type” is as follows:
A small cut may be formed in the enclosure wall to make the interior visible, or the enclosure wall may be formed, for example, in a saw blade shape.

[0050]

As described above, according to the box-type file of the present invention, since the surrounding wall is formed so as to be box-shaped when the file is closed, paper that cannot be bound with a binding metal fitting is formed. And paper of various sizes or thicknesses,
In addition, even if an X-ray photograph, a card, or the like is put in a file and carried around, it does not fall easily, and important papers and documents can be prevented from being lost.
