DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container used for treating medical waste, and more particularly, to a disposable diaper, a sanitary product, a cotton wool, used for a sick person such as a hospitalized patient or a cared person.
The present invention relates to a medical waste treatment container for storing and combusting flexible combustible waste such as bandages.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Flexible flammable wastes such as disposable diapers, sanitary products, absorbent cotton, bandages, etc. used for inpatients, cared persons and other sick persons have already become medical wastes along with syringes, blood collection devices, etc. at medical sites. They are collected separately and disposed of by incineration. On the other hand, households and nursing care facilities have been disposed of together with garbage as burnable garbage.
However, since the waste may contain infectious waste that induces infectious diseases, those used by cared persons such as homes and nursing homes are separately collected as medical waste. Incineration is required.

[0003] By the way, in order to separate and collect medical waste and incinerate it, a flammable structure that does not protrude at medical sites, does not leak liquid such as blood and excrement, and is not damaged during transportation. Various types of medical waste disposal containers made of materials have been proposed and used. And, in order to prevent the odor of medical wastes from emanating during use, the insertion opening is opened and closed by attaching and detaching the inner cover of the flat plate (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No.
No. 126127, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-243976, etc., and those provided with an inner lid having an opening which opens and closes elastically by inserting medical waste (eg, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-86328, And the like, have been proposed.

On the other hand, at homes, nursing homes, etc., only flexible combustible waste such as disposable diapers and sanitary goods are stored. Therefore, plastic bags are used, or plastic bags are attached to cardboard boxes or the like. Things are going on.

[0005]

However, if only plastic bags are used to dispose of flexible combustible waste from homes, nursing homes, etc., the plastic bags must be inserted each time the waste is inserted. Must be opened and closed, and waste such as excrement contained in waste also adheres to the vicinity of the plastic bag insertion port, making it difficult to handle, easily dirty, and sufficiently releasing odors. Difficult to prevent. Also,
During transportation, the plastic bag may be broken, making it difficult to handle. On the other hand, if the plastic bag is attached to a cardboard box, etc.
Even if it can be transported safely and hygienically, it has the same problems as when using plastic bags only when used, it is difficult to handle easily, safely and hygienically, and it is difficult to sufficiently prevent odor emission. .

On the other hand, in the case of using a medical waste treatment container generally used in a medical field, the complicated structure makes it difficult to assemble the container into a use state, and sharp objects such as an injection needle and a blood collection needle are used. Since it also stores wastes, it is excessive quality to store only flexible combustible wastes. In the case of a flat plate with an inner lid, the inner lid is attached and detached each time waste is inserted.However, it is easy to forget to attach the inner lid, or it is difficult to attach it properly, and sufficient emission of bad odors will occur. This situation is difficult to prevent. If the inner lid has an opening that opens and closes due to elastic deformation, the opening automatically closes each time waste is inserted, and the opening is not left open, but is included in waste around the opening It is easy for dirt such as excrement to adhere, and is a dirty and odor emitting factor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a medical waste disposal container which is easy to handle, prevents the emission of offensive odors, and can be handled in a sanitary manner. is there.

Since the insertion opening is substantially closed by the inner lid 6, the emission of offensive odor is prevented. Also, when the inner lid 6 is closed, the handle 23 is bent upward along the inside of the trunk 4 or the outer lid 7, so that even if the inner lid 6 is pushed too far downward in the trunk 4. Since the handle 23 projects upward, the inner lid 6 can be easily opened.

When the body 4 is full of medical waste, the insertion opening of the storage bag 2, the inner lid 6 and the outer lid 7 are closed in order. At this time, the handle 23 attached to the inner lid 6 is pressed against the outer lid 7 and folded on the upper surface of the inner lid 6 as shown in FIG. When closing the inner lid 6, the handle 23 may be bent downward and inserted into the body 4. In any case, the handle 23 is stored without any trouble by closing the outer lid 7. Next, after closing the outer lid 7, the second locking portion 26 is inserted into the second locking hole 24, and the first locking portion 2 is inserted.
5 is inserted into the first locking hole 27, and the outer lid 7 is fixed to the body 4. As described above, since the upper part of the body part 4 is covered with the inner lid 6 and the outer lid 7 and the auxiliary bottom plate 30 is attached to the bottom part 5, the upper part and the lower part have a double structure. Thus, even when the containers 1 containing the waste are stacked and stored, the container main body 3 is not crushed and the storage bag 2 can be stored safely.

When the outer lid 7 is closed, as shown in FIG.
When the outer lid 7 comes into close contact with the inner lid 6, the outer lid 7 overlaps with the main grip 8. Since the container body 3 is made of cardboard paper, compressed paper, or the like, the main grip portion 8, the auxiliary grip portion 9, and the outer lid 7 are slightly elastically deformed. As a result, both sides of the outer lid 7 are closed so as not to form a gap with the body 21, thereby blocking malodor of medical waste during storage or the like. When carrying, the main grip 8 and the auxiliary grip 9
And put the hand in each insertion hole and hold it. Most of the weight of the container 1 acts on the main grip portion 8, but is also distributed to the auxiliary grip portion 9 via the outer lid 7, The burden on the main grip 8 is reduced, and damage to the grips 8 and 9 is prevented. In addition, the container 1 having a small capacity such as 20 l can be lifted at the same time with one hand by arranging the two containers 1 with the main grip portions 8 aligned and can be transported efficiently. After the outer lid 7 is closed, it is preferable to seal the boundary between the outer lid 7 and the body 4 with an adhesive tape, to further enhance the hermetically sealed state of the body 4 to prevent the emission of offensive odor, 7 and the torso 4 are more firmly fixed.

FIGS. 7 and 8 are explanatory views of a modified example of the handle in this embodiment. In each figure,
6 denote the same functional members.
7 and 8, reference numeral 31 denotes a knob, which is formed by cutting a middle portion of a handle 23 which is protrudably provided on the free end side of the inner lid 6 and is bent in a direction intersecting with the handle 23. I have. When the inner lid 6 is opened, the inner lid 6 can be opened by grasping the knob portion 31 by hand or grasping the entire handle 23 and pulling upward. When the outer lid 7 is closed, the bending of the knob portion 31 is slightly returned, so that the outer lid 7 can be stored without any trouble similarly to the embodiment. The shape, mounting position, and the like of the handle 23 need only be such that they can be grasped by hand and the inner lid 6 can be opened.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the inner lid for closing the opening of the body of the container body is formed so as to be able to rotate integrally with the body, so that the inner lid can be forgotten or closed during use. It is possible to reliably seal the insertion opening of the storage bag and the opening of the body portion, unlikely to cause a failure. In addition, since the insertion opening of the storage bag is largely opened, the medical waste can be properly inserted without causing waste such as excrement to adhere to the surface of the inner lid. Thereby, the odor from the stored medical waste can be sufficiently blocked.

Since the handle is provided on the inner lid, it is not necessary to pry open the free end side of the inner lid by hand even when the free end side of the inner lid enters the lower part of the body. Since the lid can be pulled up, there is no danger that the waste of the stored medical waste will be attached to the hands when the inner lid is opened, and it can be used simply and hygienically. Because the upper part of the torso has a double structure with an inner lid and an outer lid, even if containers are stacked with medical waste stored during transportation, storage, etc., the containers will not be damaged It can be transported and stored safely and hygienically.
