Description

  The present invention relates to a bottle with a hanging tool.

  There is an infusion set as one of means for administering a liquid (an infusion of body fluid, nutrients, blood, medicine, etc.) into a patient's body at a medical site. The infusion set includes a liquid introduction needle, a drip tube, a bubble remover, a liquid transfer tube connected between them, and the like. The liquid introduction needle in the infusion set is generally connected to a connecting portion of a bottle with a hanging tool, and receives the supply of the liquid from the bottle with the hanging tool. A bottle with a hanging tool is used by being hung on a hook in a stand or the like.

  For example, the bottle with the hanger includes a bottle body in which one end of a substantially cylindrical body is closed and a connection portion to the infusion set is formed at the other end, and the bottle body is hooked so that the connection portion faces downward. And a hanging tool hung on the hanging material. Many patents and utility models related to such bottles with hanging tools have been filed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when a bottle preform is injection-molded, a hook-shaped or annular suspension is integrally injection-molded on the outer bottom surface, and the preform is stretch blow-molded while the suspension is attached. The technology to finish the bottle with the hanging tool is disclosed.

Patent Document 2 discloses a base portion that is fitted and attached in a recess at the bottom of an infusion bottle, a hook portion that is hooked on a hanger, and a hinge portion that is connected to the base portion so that the hook portion can stand upright in a state where the hook portion is lying down. A technique is disclosed that includes a lock portion that engages with a predetermined portion of the hook portion when the hook portion is raised to maintain the hook portion in an upright state.

  According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the bottle body and the hanging tool are integrally molded, it is excellent in that there is no loss of forgetting to attach the hanging tool or dropping off during use, but the lifting tool is integrally injection-molded. For this reason, a dedicated device and process are required, resulting in an increase in the cost of the product bottle. In addition, since the hanger is formed in a recessed portion at the bottom of the bottle, a corner portion or a narrow portion is formed in a part of the inside of the bottle (liquid collection space), and the cleaning performance inside the bottle before filling with the infusion solution is not good.

  According to the technique described in Patent Document 2, since there is no possibility that the hook part protrudes from the bottom of the infusion bottle, the hook part is caught in the production line, the production line is stopped, or the infusion bottle is placed on the table. Although it is excellent in that there is no risk of deterioration in stability, the number of parts is large and the structure is complicated, leading to an increase in the cost of the product bottle. Further, similarly to the technique described in Patent Document 1, since a hanging tool is formed in the recessed portion at the bottom of the bottle, a corner portion or a narrow portion is generated in a part of the inside of the bottle, and the inside of the bottle before infusion filling is washed. Not good.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a problem, and it aims at providing the bottle with a hanging tool which can be manufactured easily and at low cost, and is excellent in an internal washing | cleaning property.

The above object is achieved by the present invention described below. In addition, the reference numerals in parentheses attached to each component in the “Claims” and “Means for Solving the Problems” column indicate correspondence with specific means described in the embodiments described later. It is.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bottle body (2) provided with the connecting portion (21) to the infusion set (4) at one end of the bottomed substantially cylindrical body, and the connecting portion (21) face downward. In the bottle (1) with a hanger comprising a hanger (3) for hanging the bottle main body (2) on the bottle main body (2), the hanger (3) is wrapped around the body of the bottle main body (2). It is fixed and held.

  According to the invention of claim 1, the hanger (3) is fixedly held on the bottle body (2) by being wound around the body of the bottle body (2). The hanging tool (3) and the bottle main body (2) are integrated with the hanging tool (3) and the bottle main body (2), although a dedicated device and process for manufacturing each of the hanging tool (3) and the bottle main body (2) are necessary. Compared with the case where the preform is injection-molded, an extremely simple apparatus and process are required. Thereby, the cost increase of the bottle (1) with a hanging tool used as a product can be suppressed.

  Moreover, the hanger (3) is not provided in the recessed part in the bottom part of a bottle main body (2), but is provided by winding around the trunk | drum of a bottle main body (2). As a result, the bottle body (2) and the inside thereof can be made into a simple shape, and the washing liquid can be thoroughly distributed to the inside at the time of washing before the infusion filling, and the staying property is extremely small, and the washing property is excellent. good. At the same time, the incidence of defective products also decreases. Further, since the number of parts is small and the structure is simple, an increase in cost can be suppressed. In addition, after molding the bottle body (2), which is not complicated, after the infusion filling process, the hanging tool (3) can be attached at the end. This makes it possible to manufacture even at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

  In the invention of claim 2, the body portion of the bottle main body (2) has a constricted portion (23), and the hanger (3) is wound around the constricted portion (23) and fixedly held.

  According to the invention of claim 2, since the hanger (3) is wound around the constricted portion (23) and fixedly held, the hanger (3) is parallel to the central axis (J1) of the bottle body (2). Misalignment in the direction is prevented. Further, the bottle main body (2) is prevented from falling during use in the medical field.

  In the invention of claim 3, the hanger (3) is configured such that the heat shrinkable shrink film (30) wound around the body of the bottle body (2) is heated and shrunk so as to shrink the body of the bottle body (2). Are formed in close contact with each other.

  According to the invention of claim 3, by using the heat-shrinkable shrink film (30) for forming the hanger (3), it is possible to simplify the dedicated device and process necessary for forming the hanger (3). It is possible to simplify the structure of the bottle (1) with the hanging tool.

  In the invention of claim 4, the hanger (3) is provided so as to be tiltable along the trunk of the bottle body (2).

  According to invention of Claim 4, a hanger (3) can tilt along the trunk | drum in a bottle main body (2). For example, by using a holding means such as an adhesive tape member (34) to hold the suspended portion (32) in a tilted state, it is possible to improve efficiency when packaging a plurality of bottles (1) with a lifting device. it can. The reason is that there is no protruding portion of the hanging tool (3), and this prevents the hanger that becomes a hindrance to the boxing and unloading work. It also contributes to improving the operability of nurses in the medical field. For example, in a medical field, a nurse generally carries a plurality of bottles (1) with suspension tools filled with an infusion solution on a carriage, respectively, to a hospital room. When the nurse removes the bottle (1) with the infusion device corresponding to the patient from the carriage, the tilting state of the suspension device (3) is maintained, so that there is no drooling that hinders the removal operation. In the invention of claim 4, since the protruding portion can be eliminated with a simple structure, it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the bottle (1) with a hanging tool as a product.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a bottle with a hanging tool that can be easily manufactured at low cost and is excellent in internal cleaning properties.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a bottle 1 with a hanging device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view and a side view of a bottle body 2, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a procedure for attaching the hanging device 3 to the bottle body 2, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a use state of the bottle 1 with a hanging tool, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state of the bottle 1 with a hanging tool when packed in a box.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a bottle 1 with a hanging device according to the present invention includes a bottle body 2 and a hanging device 3.

  The bottle main body 2 has a flat cylindrical shape with a bottom, and includes a connection portion 21 to the infusion set 4 at the head. Further, a constricted portion 23 is provided at a position on the bottom 22 side along the central axis J1 direction of the bottle body 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the constricted portion 23 has a predetermined width W along the direction of the central axis J1 of the bottle body 2 and is formed by a concave groove that is recessed at a predetermined depth D over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface. . Such a bottle body 2 is obtained by blow molding a preform which is an injection-molded product of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), or a Paris which is a melt of these synthetic resins. It is a colorless transparent body or a colorless translucent body so that the residual liquid can be visually recognized. Moreover, it has the flexibility which the bottle main body 2 is crushed with internal liquid reduction. Such properties can be obtained with materials other than the above PE and PP, but at least the components of the material do not dissolve during the infusion.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the bottle main body 2, numbers m and marks M indicating the amount of remaining liquid are sequentially formed in the direction of the central axis J1 by molding or the like. These numbers m and marks M are formed at positions indicating the amount of liquid contained in the bottle body 2 when the hanging part 32 is hung on the hook 51 with the hanging-equipped bottle 1 turned upside down (see FIG. 4). Has been. Since the central axis J1 is inclined with respect to the vertical axis J0, the residual liquid amount in that state is measured in advance, and the number is in accordance with the residual liquid amount. The reason why the distances between the adjacent marks M are not equally spaced along the direction of the central axis J1 is that the change in volume due to the collapse of the bottle main body 2 due to internal liquid reduction is taken into account. A plurality of marks M corresponding to one number m may be formed at a position parallel to the liquid level LS at that time.

  The bottle main body 2 configured in this manner is subjected to external and internal cleaning before mounting the hanger 3, and then filled with an infusion according to the purpose.

  The hanger 3 includes a fixed holding portion 31 wound in close contact with the constricted portion 23 of the bottle main body 2 and a hanging portion 32 formed integrally with the fixed holding portion 31. The fixed holding portion 31 is formed of a cylindrical film body having the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of the constricted portion 23. The suspension part 32 is a perforated film body standing so as to extend outward in the minor axis direction of the constricted part 23, and is a suspension hole for hanging on a hook 51 (see FIG. 4) in a predetermined stand 5 with a hook. 33. In addition, the hanging part 32 can be provided so as to extend not only on one outer side in the short axis direction of the constricted part 23 but also on both outer sides, and can be hung at two points. Moreover, you may provide so that it may extend to the outer side of the major axis of the narrow part 23, or both outwards. In the case of a form of hanging at two points, the two hanging parts 32 are preferably provided at two positions with the horizontal sectional center of the bottle body 2 as the center of symmetry, and the positions may be arbitrary.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, such a hanging tool 3 is manufactured by a band-shaped shrink film 30 made of a heat-shrinkable plastic such as polystyrene. In addition, since the shrink film 30 takes the form closely_contact | adhered to the bottle main body 2, it is preferable to be made into a colorless transparent body so that an internal residual liquid can be visually recognized through this.

  A procedure for attaching the hanger 3 to the bottle body 2 will be described. First, the belt-shaped shrink film 30 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bottle body 2, and the inner side surface regions 30a at both ends are overlapped with each other with a predetermined width (see FIG. 3B). ). Next, this overlapped scissors are bonded by heat welding or adhesive, and unnecessary overlapped scissors are cut, and then the suspension holes 33 are drilled. At this stage, the substantially cylindrical suspension 3 in which the fixed holding portion 31 and the suspension portion 32 are integrally formed is completed (see FIG. 3C). Next, the substantially cylindrical hanger 3 is inserted into the constricted portion 23 of the bottle body 2 (see FIG. 3D). At that time, the suspension part 32 is fitted and inserted so as to stand upright on a wide surface (that is, one of the surfaces facing each other in the minor axis direction). After insertion, steam or hot air or the like is blown onto the substantially cylindrical lifting tool 3 to cause heat shrinkage so as to be closely attached to the outer surface of the constricted portion 23 (see FIG. 3E).

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the medical site, the bottle with a hanging device 1 filled with the infusion solution is hung by suspending the bottle 1 with the hanging device upside down, that is, with the bottom portion 22 facing upward. The infusion set 4 is hung on the hook 51 in the attached stand 5 and connected to the connecting portion 21 for use. The infusion in the bottle 1 with a lifting tool is guided to the injection needle 44 through the liquid introduction needle 41, the liquid transfer tube 45, the drip tube 42 and the bubble remover 43.

  According to the hanging device bottle 1 according to the present invention, the hanging device 3 includes a hanging portion 32 and a fixed holding portion 31. The suspension part 32 and the fixed holding part 31 are integrally formed. The fixed holding part 31 is fixedly held by the bottle body 2 by being wound around the body part of the bottle body 2. Although these hanging tools 3 and the bottle main body 2 require a dedicated device and process for manufacturing each as in the conventional case, when the preform in which the hanging tool 3 and the bottle main body 2 are integrated is injection-molded. In comparison, an extremely simple apparatus and process are sufficient. Thereby, the cost increase of the bottle 1 with a hanging tool used as a product can be suppressed.

  The hanger 3 is provided not by being provided in the recessed portion at the bottom of the bottle body 2 but by being wound around the body of the bottle body 2. Thereby, the bottle main body 2 and the inside can be made into a simple shape, and at the time of washing | cleaning before infusion filling, a washing | cleaning liquid can be spread to the inside thoroughly, and there is also very little residence and a washability is good. At the same time, the incidence of defective products also decreases. Further, since the number of parts is small and the structure is simple, an increase in cost can be suppressed. Moreover, since the bottle main body 2 which is not complicated shape is shape | molded, and after passing through the infusion filling process, the hanging tool 3 can be finally attached, a pharmaceutical manufacturing factory without requesting the manufacturing to the manufacturing factory dedicated to the bottle main body 2 But manufacturing is possible.

  When the hanger-equipped bottle 1 is hung on the hook 51, the central axis J1 is tilted and held from the vertical line. The remaining liquid amount in that state is measured in advance, and the remaining liquid amount is determined according to the remaining liquid amount. Since the number m and the mark M are formed, the remaining liquid amount can be known.

  When packaging a plurality of bottles 1 with lifting implements, as shown in FIG. 5, the base portion 321 of the hanging portion 32 is bent and suspended so that the hanging portion 32 tilts along the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the bottle body 2. By temporarily fastening the end of the portion 32 to the fixed holding portion 31 with the adhesive tape material 34, the protruding portion can be eliminated. Thereby, the hanging part 32 is caught and the dripping which becomes an obstacle of boxing and taking-out work is eliminated. Further, temporarily fastening the end portion of the hanging portion 32 as described above also contributes to improving the operability of the nurse at the medical site. For example, in a medical field, a nurse generally carries a plurality of bottles 1 with a suspension device filled with an infusion solution on a carriage with the bottom 22 facing down, and transports them to a hospital room. When the nurse takes out the bottle 1 with the infusion device for the infusion corresponding to the patient from the cart, the tilting state of the hanging portion 32 is maintained, so that there is no possibility of a hindrance to the removal operation.

  A plurality of ring-shaped grooves along the circumferential direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the constricted portion 23 in the direction of the central axis J1, or a plurality of rod-shaped grooves along the direction of the central axis J1 are formed in the circumferential direction. By performing dimple processing with a plurality of recesses or non-smooth surface processing, it is possible to improve the fixing and holding property of the hanging device 3 to the constricted portion 23, and to eliminate the lifting device 3 from falling off or being displaced. be able to. Further, the diameters of the upper and lower diameter large portions in the constricted portion 23 may be different from each other. Or it is good also as a form which only gives a level | step difference so that only the side of the bottom part 22 may become large in diameter.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, embodiment disclosed above is an illustration to the last, Comprising: The scope of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims. That is, the structure, shape, dimensions, material, number, etc. of the whole or part of the bottle 1 with a hanging tool can be variously changed in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. For example, the bottle 1 with a hanging tool is a colorless transparent body or a colorless translucent body, but may be a colored transparent body. Moreover, although the bottle main body 2 was made into the bottomed flat cylindrical shape, it is good also as a bottomed cylindrical shape and a polygonal cylinder shape. Various methods can be used for attaching the hanging tool 3 to the bottle body 2.

It is an external appearance perspective view of the bottle with a hanging tool concerning the present invention. It is a two-view figure of the front and side of a bottle main body. It is a figure which shows the attachment procedure of the hanging tool to a bottle main body. It is a figure which shows the use condition of the bottle with a hanger.
