Description

  The present invention accommodates not only ampoules of various injections and the like, but also various drugs such as vials, infusions, etc., which are stored in containers for drugs and the like, and more specifically, various injections and the like dispensed from the injection drug dispensing device by an instruction such as a prescription. Cases are stored for each patient, each time of use, etc., or directly stored for various drugs selected from drug stores, etc. is there.

  Conventionally, for example, a storage container as shown in FIG. 7 exists as a storage container for storing the seed medicine or the like, and is used in various hospitals.

  That is, the storage container 1 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape in plan view so as to have a storage portion 2 with an upper surface opening by molding a synthetic resin material or the like, and is stored in the opening peripheral edge 1c of the storage portion 2. The container 1 has a configuration in which a bottom portion 1a of the container 1 can be fitted, and a fitting step portion 1d for allowing the storage containers 1 to be stacked in a plurality of stages is provided.

  In addition, the storage containers 1 formed as described above can be reliably stacked in a stable state through the insertion step portions 1d of the respective storage containers 1, and in particular, the movement of an injection medicine cart or the like. Not only is it optimal for being loaded on the body, but it is also provided at the opening peripheral edge 1c with a fitting step 1d, so that it is located below the storage space volume 2a for the medicine and the like in the storage 2 The distance (arrow I) from the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1 to the bottom portion 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above by being inserted into the insertion step 1d of the storage container 1 can be secured.

  However, the storage container for storing various drugs and the like as described above has the following problems.

  That is, the storage container 1 is formed so that it can be reliably stacked in a stable state while ensuring a storage space volume 2a for a predetermined amount of medicine or the like in the storage portion 2, but in use, for example, one person Depending on the size and quantity of various ampoules used for patients and various ampoules to be administered for a single dose, it may not be possible to store them in one storage container 1. It must be stored, so that the confirmation work at the time of patient distribution becomes troublesome.

  Furthermore, the storage container 1 having the above-described configuration always has a storage space volume 2a for a certain drug or the like in each storage container 1 when stacked, regardless of whether or not the drug or the like is stored in the storage unit 2. Therefore, even when the storage container 1 is loaded on an injection medicine cart or the like or stored in a predetermined storage place, a predetermined height space is always obtained when a predetermined number of storage containers 1 are stacked. Therefore, in order to prevent the stacked storage containers 1 from falling sideways, the storage containers 1 must be naturally stacked in a safe height space. Each storage container that stores the drug by visiting the drug room etc. many times, especially when loading in an injection drug cart etc. Repeat the work of stacking 1 In addition to this, there is a problem in that the reverse operation described above must be repeated when the storage container 1 is recovered, and thus the operation is complicated and a lot of work time must be spent. It was.

  Therefore, the present invention instantly and easily adjusts the storage space volume of the storage unit to the storage amount of the medicine, etc., even when the size or quantity of the medicine stored in one storage container increases or decreases. By increasing or decreasing the amount, the ampules used for one patient and ampules to be administered for a single dose can be prevented from being distributed in multiple storage containers, making it easy to perform confirmation work when distributing patients. Not only can multiple storage containers be stacked in a stable state, the storage space volume of each storage section can be increased or decreased regardless of whether or not medicines are stored in the storage containers. By enabling stacking, it is possible to arbitrarily increase or decrease the number of stacked storage containers within conditions such as a predetermined height space and mounting area. Stacking and unloading It is an object to provide a container, such as a very good agent can also improve work efficiency kept on the number of required minimum repetitive tasks of work and the like.

  Each of the storage containers 1 having the storage part 2 with the upper surface opening can stack the storage space volume 2a of the storage part 2 so that the storage space volume 2a of each storage part 2 can be increased or decreased. A plurality of locking step portions 3e are housed in the peripheral wall portion 1b of the storage container 1, and each locking step portion 3e is engaged via a locking protrusion 1e provided on the bottom portion 1a. It is characterized in that it can be moved up and down with respect to the bottom portion 1a.

  According to the above configuration, by pulling out the leg body 3 by a predetermined dimension, the locking step portion 3e to which the locking convex body 1e is locked differs, and the storage container 1 has a dimension in which the leg body 3 is pulled out. Thus, a predetermined amount is added between the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1 positioned below and the bottom portion 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above to the size of the leg 3 drawn out. A storage space is formed.

  In the state where the leg 3 is stored, the container for medicine according to the present invention is stored in the lower position by fitting the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 into the insertion step 1d formed in the storage container 1 positioned below. A storage space is formed between the inner bottom surface of the container 1 and the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above.

  In the above configuration, when the size and quantity of the medicine stored in one storage container is increased or decreased by allowing the leg 3 to freely move in and out with a predetermined dimension via each locking step 3e. Even so, the storage space volume of the storage unit can be increased or decreased more or less instantly and easily according to the storage amount of medicines, etc. Therefore, ampules used for one patient, ampules to be administered once, etc. The medicines and the like can be prevented from being dispersed in the plurality of storage containers, and the confirmation work at the time of patient distribution can be facilitated, so that the plurality of storage containers can be reliably stacked in a stable state.

  As described above, according to the present invention, each storage container having a storage part with an opening on the top surface is stored in one storage container because the storage space volume of each storage part can be increased and decreased. Even when the size or quantity of drugs etc. increases or decreases, the ampoule used for one patient can be instantly and easily increased or decreased according to the amount of drugs etc. stored. In addition, it is possible to make sure that multiple storage containers can be stacked in a stable state by avoiding the dispersion of drugs such as ampoules to be administered in a single dose into multiple storage containers and facilitating confirmation work during patient distribution. In addition to being able to perform storage, the storage space volume of each storage unit of each storage container can be stacked up and down freely regardless of whether or not medicines are stored in the storage container. The number of stacks is a predetermined high It can be increased or decreased arbitrarily within conditions such as space and mounting area, and the repetitive operations such as complicated loading and unloading of each storage container in injection drug cart and drug room etc. are minimized. It has a special effect that it can provide an extremely excellent storage container for medicines, etc., which can improve the working efficiency only by the number of times.

Furthermore, although the recessed part 4 for inserting and positioning the leg 3 of each storage container 1 is provided in the opening periphery 1c of each said storage container 1, the recessed part 4 does not necessarily have each storage container 1's position. It is not necessary to be provided at the opening peripheral edge 1c, and as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the concave portion 4 may be provided in the storage portion 2 of the storage container 1, for example, the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1. Even so, it is possible to provide a storage space (arrow C) according to the amount of advancement of the leg 3 between the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1 positioned below and the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to immediately respond to the increase or decrease in the size or quantity of drugs such as ampules used for one patient or ampules to be administered in a single dose, but as shown in FIG. The concave portion 4 for inserting and positioning the one leg 3 is opened. It may be provided on both the peripheral edge 1c and the storage part 2, and in this case, the increase / decrease amount of the storage space volume 2a of each storage container 1 to be stacked can be set more finely and in a more stable state. There is an advantage that each storage container 1 can be stacked.

<Third embodiment>
In each of the above embodiments, the leg 3 provided on the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 is positioned by being fitted into the opening peripheral edge 1c of the storage container 1 or the recessed portion 4 provided in the storage part 2. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the distal end portion 3b of the leg 3 provided on the bottom 1a side is fitted into the convex portion 5 provided at a predetermined position of the storage container 1 to position each storage container 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the leg 3 provided on the bottom 1a side of the storage container 1 is perpendicular to the concave part 4 provided at a predetermined position of the storage container 1. As shown in FIG. 5C, the leg 3 provided on the bottom 1a side is inserted into the concave portion 4 provided at a predetermined position of the storage container 1 from an oblique direction. In any case, the storage space volume 2a of the storage section 2 of the storage container 1 can be stored in a container instantly and easily in any case. The dosage can be increased or decreased according to the amount. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the distribution of drugs such as ampules used for one patient and ampules for one dose, etc. in multiple storage containers. There is an advantage that a plurality of storage containers 1 can be reliably stacked in a stable state.

<Fourth embodiment>
Further, the leg 3 provided on the bottom 1a side of the storage container 1 can be fitted into the concave part 4 or the convex part 5 provided at a predetermined position of the storage container 1 to position the storage container 1.

Protrusions 4b that can be held by the holding body 3d can be provided in the concave portions 4 provided at the positions, and can be separated from each other only by a certain tensile force. In this case, the leg 3 And the concave portion 4 can be freely attached and detached, and thus each storage container 1 stacked in a stable state. Even if a patient, a nurse, or the like suddenly collides with each other, or when various vibrations or shocks are transferred to each storage container 1 when loaded and moved on an injection medicine cart or the like, each storage container 1 Although it has the advantage that it can be reliably prevented from falling apart and falling sideways, etc., the convex portion provided at a predetermined location of the storage container 1 and the leg 3 are detachable. Needless to say.

<Fifth embodiment>
Furthermore, in each said embodiment, although the leg 3 is provided in the bottom 1a side of the storage container 1, the leg 3 does not necessarily need to be provided in the bottom 1a, and as shown in FIG. The leg 3 has a plurality of locking step portions 3e and is stored in the peripheral wall portion 1b of the storage container 1, and each locking step portion is provided via a locking protrusion 1e provided on the bottom portion 1a. It may be configured so that it can be locked and released with respect to the bottom portion 1a every 3e. In this case, as shown in FIG. By inserting the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 into the insertion step 1d of the storage container 1 that is positioned, there is a predetermined gap between the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1 positioned below and the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above. A storage space (arrow D) is formed. For example, the storage container 1 is pulled out of the leg 3 by pulling out the leg 3 by a predetermined dimension (arrow E). The leg 3 is pulled out between the inner bottom surface of the storage container 1 positioned below and the bottom 1a of the storage container 1 positioned above. A predetermined storage space (arrow G) to which the dimension is added is formed.

  Therefore, when the size and quantity of the medicine stored in one storage container is increased or decreased by making the leg 3 freely movable with a predetermined size through each locking step 3e. Even so, the storage space volume of the storage unit can be increased or decreased more or less instantly and easily according to the storage amount of drugs, etc., so ampules used for one patient, ampules to be administered once, etc. It has the advantage that a plurality of storage containers can be reliably stacked in a stable state by avoiding the dispersion of medicines etc. into a plurality of storage containers, facilitating confirmation work at the time of patient distribution, etc. .

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the leg 3 is always provided so as to be retractable with respect to the bottom 1a of the storage container 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be provided on the peripheral wall portion 1b so as to be extendable and retractable. In short, if the storage container 1 is provided with a leg 3 that can be retracted and retracted, a specific example of the leg 3 is provided. The shape, quantity, attachment location and exit / exit mechanism are not limited.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the leg 3 provided on the storage container 1 is fitted and positioned in the concave part 4 or the convex part 5 provided in the storage part 2 of the storage container 1 or on the opening peripheral edge 1c. For example, the leg 3 may be formed so as to be placed on the storage portion 2 or the opening peripheral edge 1c of the storage container 1, and in this case, the storage space volume 2a may be configured. However, the specific shape of the leg 3 is not limited in any way. For example, the leg 3 may include the above-mentioned It goes without saying that a concave portion (not shown) or a convex portion (not shown) capable of positioning the entire storage container 1 may be formed on the opening peripheral edge 1c of the storage container 1.

  However, the specific shape and size of the container for storing the medicine or the like in the present invention, the shape of the opening peripheral edge extended in the shape of a bowl, the presence or absence of the bowl-shaped portion, etc. are not limited at all. If each of the storage containers having the opening storage portions can be stacked in such a manner that the storage space volume of each storage portion can be increased and decreased, the specific configuration of each part of the storage container is also arbitrarily within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that the design can be changed, and it is not always necessary for the storage container to store only various drugs such as ampoules, vials, infusions, etc., and other objects to be stored may be stored. The field of use of the storage container is not limited at all.
