Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide packing for a hand inserting window of an incubator for preventing hands and feet of a housed baby in the incubator from touching a door of the hand inserting window and preventing an environment in the incubator from deviating from a physiological environment proper for the housed baby. SOLUTION: Since a peripheral edge part 26 of the packing 25 runs along the peripheral edge of the single operation type hand inserting window 21, a part between the single operation type hand inserting window 21 and the door 27 is held in an airtight state. Since a covering part 41 partially covers the single operation type hand inserting window 21, the hands and the feet of the housed baby in the incubator hardly touch the door 27 of the single operation type hand inserting window 21, and even if the door 27 of the single operation type hand inserting window 21 is not sufficiently fixed to an incubator body in a state of blocking up the single operation type hand inserting window 21, the single operation type hand inserting window 21 is hardly opened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packing for an incubator access window for maintaining an airtight state between an access window of the incubator and a door closing the access window. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows an incubator to which the present invention can be applied. As shown in FIG. 5, this incubator 1
In FIG. 1, a transparent hood 12 for accommodating premature babies and the like is mounted on a base portion 14 on a base 13, and a treatment window 15 for treating the babies in the hood 12 from outside the hood 12. A transparent door 1 for opening and closing the treatment window 15
6 is provided on the hood 12. The door 16 and the hood 12 are provided with a door fixing mechanism 17. The door 16 is provided with a one-touch access window 21 and the hood 12 is provided.
A one-touch type access window 21 and a squeezed type access window (not shown) are also provided on the side surface.

The hood 12 is provided with a bed (not shown) for accommodating infants.
2 is provided near the treatment window 15. The bed rest can be tilted by operating one bed rest tilting handle 22, and the height of the bed rest can be adjusted by operating both bed rest tilting handles 22 at the same time. A control panel 23 is provided in the vicinity of the bed rest tilt handle 22, and buttons (not shown) and a display unit for controlling the temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration and the like in the hood 12 to appropriate values for the accommodated child. (Not shown) and the like
It is provided in. A caster 24 is attached to the base 13.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show the vicinity of the one-touch access window 21 and a conventional example of packing used for the one-touch access window 21. FIG. The packing 25 of this conventional example is formed by injection molding of soft polyvinyl chloride, and has a peripheral portion 26 along the peripheral edge of the one-touch type access window 21.
Is provided. The door 16 of the hood 12 is provided with a transparent door 27 for opening and closing the one-touch access window 21, and a projection 31 is integrally provided on a part of the periphery of the door 27.

A door rotating mechanism 32 is provided on the outer surface of the door 16 and near the one-touch access window 21. Door 27
Is attached to the door rotating mechanism 32, and the door rotating mechanism 3
The door 27 is urged by a spring in the direction 2 to open the one-touch access window 21. A door fixing mechanism 33 is provided on the outer surface side of the door 16 and on the opposite side of the one-touch type access window 21 from the door rotating mechanism 32, and the sliding portion 34 and the urging portion 35 are connected to the door fixing mechanism 33. Provided. Sliding part 34
A projection 36 is attached to the, and the sliding portion 34 is urged via the projection 36 by a compression spring 37 in the urging portion 35.

[0006] In the incubator 11 as described above, a relatively complicated treatment for the housed child is performed by opening the treatment window 15.
A relatively simple treatment that can be performed only by putting a hand in the hood 12 is performed by opening only the one-touch type access window 21 without opening the treatment window 15. This is because opening the one-touch access window 21 is more convenient than opening the treatment window 15.
This is because a change in the physiological environment in the incubator 11 is small.
That is, when the necessity of a relatively simple treatment for the housed child arises, a doctor, a nurse, or the like presses the sliding portion 34 toward the door 16 and opposes the urging by the compression spring 37 so that the sliding portion 34 is pressed. 34 is slid with respect to the urging portion 35.

As a result, when the sliding portion 34 separates from the one-touch access window 21 while approaching the door 16 and the sliding portion 34 slides by a predetermined distance, the protrusion 31 and the sliding portion 34 The engagement is released, and the door 27 is rotated by the bias of the spring in the door rotation mechanism 32 to open the one-touch access window 21. When the treatment for the accommodated infant is completed, the door 27 is rotated in a direction to close the one-touch type access window 21, and the sliding portion 34 is pressed toward the door 16 by the projection 31, and the compression spring 37 is pressed.
The sliding part 34 is slid with respect to the urging part 35 against the urging by the force.

As a result, when the sliding portion 34 separates from the one-touch type access window 21 while approaching the door 16 and the sliding portion 34 slides by a predetermined distance, the sliding portion 34 is urged by the compression spring 37. 34 moves back, and the protrusion 31 and the sliding portion 34 are engaged. In this state, the inner surface of the door 27 is
5, one-touch access window 21 and door 27
Is kept airtight.

[0009]

However, when the one-touch type access window 21 is closed by the door 27, the sliding portion 34 is only partially moved back by the urging of the compression spring 37, or the protrusion 31 There is a case where the fixing force of the door 27 by the door fixing mechanism 33 is not sufficient because the engaging force between the door 27 and the sliding portion 34 is not sufficiently strong. In such a case, if the hand or foot of the housed child in the hood 12 hits the door 27, the one-touch access window 21 is easily opened. If the one-touch access window 21 is left open, the hood 12
The environment within deviates from the physiological environment appropriate for the stowed child and is undesirable for the stowed child.

In addition, when phototherapy for treating jaundice or the like is applied to a housed child, the energy of the light beam is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source. The bed may be raised by operation. Further, in order to prevent the throat of the housed child during or after breast feeding, the bed rest tilting handle 22 may be operated to tilt the bed rest so that the head of the housed child is raised. However, when the bed is raised or inclined, the hands and feet of the housed child in the hood 12 become approximately the same height as the one-touch access window 21, and the hands and feet of the housed child become the door 27. And the one-touch type access window 21 is more easily opened.

Therefore, according to the invention of the present application, the hand, foot, etc. of the housed child in the incubator are hard to hit the door of the access window, and the door of the access window closes the access window to the incubator body. Even if it is not sufficiently fixed, it is difficult to provide an access window for the incubator because the access window is not easily opened and the environment in the incubator does not easily deviate from the appropriate physiological environment for the contained child. The purpose is.

[0012]

According to the packing for the access window of the incubator according to the first aspect, since the peripheral portion is along the periphery of the access window of the incubator, the access window and the access window are closed. The door is kept airtight. In addition, since the covering part partially covers the access window, the hands and feet of the accommodated child in the incubator are hard to hit the access window door, and the access window door closes the access window. Even if it is not sufficiently fixed to the incubator body in the state, the access window is not easily opened.

Further, since the covering portion only partially covers the access window, the hand can be inserted into the incubator through the access window, and the visibility of the incubator from the outside of the incubator decreases. Hard to do. Further, since the covering portion only needs to partially cover the access window, a special shape, material, and the like are not required as a whole.

[0014] In the packing for the hand window of the incubator according to the second aspect, since the covering portion partially covers the lower portion than the central portion in the height direction of the hand window, the child accommodated in the incubator. Even if the hands, feet, etc. of the child are about the same height as the access window, the hands, feet, etc. of the accommodated child are unlikely to hit the access window door, and the access window is difficult to open.

[0015]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The packing 25 of the present embodiment also has substantially the same configuration as the packing 25 of the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 except that the packing 25 is provided in addition to the peripheral portion 26. Have. The covering portion 41 is formed integrally with the peripheral portion 26 using the same material as the peripheral portion 26, and has prism portions 42 to 44.

The prism portion 42 traverses the one-touch access window 21 at a height slightly lower than the center of the one-touch access window 21 in the height direction, and the prism portions 43 and 44 are symmetrical to each other. It is arranged and connects the prism portion 42 and the peripheral edge portion 26 therebelow. Therefore, the covering portion 41 has a total of π
It has a shape close to a letter shape, and partially covers a portion below the central portion in the height direction of the one-touch type access window 21.

In a plane perpendicular to the plane where the one-touch type access window 21 extends, the width of the prism portions 42 to 44 is set to be equal to the peripheral portion 26.
Narrower than the width. Therefore, even if the one-touch type access window 21 is closed by the door 27, the door 27 only comes into contact with the peripheral portion 26 and does not come into contact with the covering portion 41. As a result, the door 27 and the peripheral edge portion 26 come into contact with each other reliably, and the one-touch access window 21
And the door 27 are kept airtight. Further, in the area where the one-touch access window 21 extends, the prism portions 42 to 4 are provided.
A rib 45 is formed on at least one of the four, and the ribs 45 reinforce the prisms 42 to 44.

In the packing 25 of the present embodiment as described above, since the covering portion 41 partially covers the one-touch access window 21, the hands and feet of the accommodated child are unlikely to hit the door 27, and the door is fixed. Even if the mechanism 33 does not sufficiently secure the door 27, the one-touch access window 21 is not easily opened. Moreover, since the covering portion 41 partially covers a portion below the central portion in the height direction of the one-touch access window 21, the hands and feet of the housed child in the hood 12 can be one-touch access. Even if the height of the window 21 is about the same, the hands and feet of the
It is hard to hit 7.

However, since the portion of the one-touch type access window 21 above the central portion in the height direction is not covered with the covering portion 41, a hand is put into the hood 12 from this portion to provide accommodation to the child. Action can be taken. In addition, coating part 4
Since 1 covers only part of the one-touch access window 21, the visibility of the inside of the incubator 11 from the outside of the incubator 11 is unlikely to be reduced. Furthermore, since the covering portion 41 only needs to partially cover the one-touch type access window 21, the packing 25 does not require a special shape or material as a whole, and the manufacturing cost of the packing 25 does not increase much.

The shape of the covering portion 41 may be a shape other than the shape of the packing 25 of the present embodiment.
Instead of the prism portions 43 and 44, one prism portion is a prism portion 42.
And the peripheral portion 26 thereunder.
May have a shape close to a T-shape as a whole. In the packing 25 of the present embodiment, the covering portion 41 is formed integrally with the peripheral portion 26 using the same material as the peripheral portion 26. However, the covering portion 41 may be formed separately from the peripheral portion 26. The material of the portion 41 may also be different from the material of the covering portion 41.

[0021]

According to the packing for the window of the incubator according to the first aspect, the hand can be put into the incubator through the window, and the visibility of the inside of the incubator from outside the incubator is also reduced. Despite being difficult to access, the window between the access window and the door that closes the access window is kept in an airtight state, and the hands and feet of the child in the incubator are access doors. The access window is not easily opened even if the access window is not sufficiently fixed to the incubator body with the access window closed. For this reason, the environment in the incubator is unlikely to deviate from the physiological environment appropriate for the accommodated child. In addition, since a special shape, material, and the like are not required as a whole, an increase in manufacturing cost is small.

According to the packing for a hand window of an incubator according to claim 2, even if the hand, foot, etc. of the housed child in the incubator are almost the same height as the hand window, the hand, foot, etc. of the housed child are hand. It is hard to hit the door of the entrance window and the access window is hard to open. For this reason, the environment in the incubator is less likely to deviate from the physiological environment appropriate for the accommodated child.
