This nursery room 3 is formed of a transparent resin material so that a bed part (not shown) for laying a newborn is laid on a bed base 8 installed on an incubator base 7, and at least covers the entire bed part. The long side plates 9 and 10 on the front side and the rear side, the short side plates 11 and 12 on both sides, and the ceiling hood 13 are formed in combination. At least the front side plate 9 is provided with a pair of manual entry windows so that both hands can be inserted into the nursery room 3 and the treatment can be performed, and each manual entry window is normally openable and closable via a bearing portion 14. Attached doors 15 are provided, and each door 15 is closed by being locked by a locking part 16 such as a latch mechanism, and when necessary, the locking part 16 is removed and the door 15 is opened. Both hands can be inserted into the nursery room 3. The bed table 8 has handle portions 17 attached to both ends so that it can be lifted together with the bed portion.

  The front and rear side plates 9 and 10 and the side plates 11 and 12 on both sides are configured to be detachably connected and combined by a plurality of latch mechanisms 18 and 19 at each adjacent end portion. 10 is detachably attached to the incubator base 7 by a plurality of pivotable hinge portions 20 provided on the incubator base 7 side. As for the incubator 1 of the invention of the prior application, the configuration described in the specification and drawings of the invention of the prior application can be used as they are, so the outline (only the main part) of the incubator is explained as described above. Details are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the monitor display 21 is attached to the incubator 1 having the above-described configuration via the pole 22 of the present invention. In this case, the monitor display 21 is attached via a monitor attachment having a characteristic configuration with respect to the pole 22. The pole 22 according to the present invention has groove-shaped recesses 23 formed on two side surfaces at symmetrical positions along the length direction to both ends, and a specific configuration will be described later.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the incubator 1 is viewed from the front side, for example, the support member 24 that supports the lower end portion of the pole 22 on the right or left side, preferably on the incubator base 7. The support member 24 has a required height and is provided with a hole 25 into which the pole 22 is inserted. The hole 25 is formed inside the hole 25 so as to correspond to the cross-sectional shape of the pole 22. The protrusion 26 is provided, and when the pole 22 is inserted, the protrusion 26 fits into the groove-shaped recess 23 and the pole 22 does not rotate and maintains a stable standing state. The diameter of the pole 22 is approximately 25 ± 1 mm, the length is approximately 850 ± 100 mm, and a longer one can be used depending on the mode of use.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the monitor display 21 is attached via the monitor attachment 27 in the vicinity of the upper end of the pole 22 attached to the incubator 1 as described above.
The monitor display 21 is a touch panel type and has a function of displaying temperature and humidity in the nursery room 3 and other necessary information in real time, and setting and changing the information by a screen touch type.

  Therefore, the monitor attachment 27 is composed of a plurality of attachments (components) as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. First, the attachment shown in FIG. 6 is attached to the central portion on the back side of the monitor display 21 and is a connecting member 28 obtained by bending a rectangular metal plate into a U-shape, and both sides of the bent metal plate have a required length. This is the connecting leg portion 29. And the edge part side of this leg part 29 is formed in circular arc shape, and the bolt insertion hole 30 for a connection is formed near the edge part. Reference numeral 31 denotes a cover that is assembled as an attachment and then engaged with and attached to the leg portion 29, and is provided with a locking projection 31a.

Next, the attachment shown in FIG. 7 is attached to the pole 22 side, and includes a base member 32 for fixation formed in a cylindrical shape, a movable member 33 for connection formed in a ring shape, The presser member 34 is formed in a ring shape that prevents the movable member 33 from rotating while preventing the movable member 33 from coming off.
The base member 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a convex portion 35 that fits in the groove 23 of the pole 22 in the vertical direction of the inner peripheral surface, and at a position on the side facing the convex portion 35. A screw hole 37 for screwing a thumbscrew 36 for fixing the base member 32 at a predetermined position of the pole 22 is formed. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the upper cylindrical portion is formed thinly in three stages. That is, the movable member 33 and the pressing member 34 are sequentially fitted to the base member 32 so that the outer diameters are the same and are formed in a laminated state.

  Therefore, the second-stage cylindrical portion 38 is formed to a position slightly above (less than 0.5 mm) the thickness of the movable member 33 in the height direction, and the third-stage cylindrical portion 39 Formed from the top of the cylindrical portion 38 of the eye to the top of the base member 32. Then, the movable member 33 is formed with a connecting portion 40 protruding in a tongue shape on a ring-shaped part, and the tip end portion of the connecting portion 40 is integrally formed with a required thickness below and increased. The thickness substantially matches the thickness of the base member 32 below the position where the second-stage cylindrical portion 38 is formed, and the inner surface of the portion where the thickness is increased is arcuate so as not to contact the base member 32. In addition, a bolt insertion hole 41 is provided in the connecting portion 40 including a portion having an increased thickness. The ring-shaped inner diameter of the movable member 33 is slightly larger (less than 0.2 mm) than the outer diameter of the second-stage tubular portion 38, and is configured to be freely rotatable. .

  The presser member 34 has a ring-shaped inner diameter that is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the third-stage cylindrical portion 39 (less than 0.1 mm), and at least one screw hole 42. Is provided. Then, after the movable member 33 is rotatably inserted into the second-stage tubular portion 38, the presser member 34 is inserted into the third-stage tubular portion 39 so that the movable member 33 does not come out. An appropriate holding screw is screwed into the screw hole 42 and fixed to the third-stage cylindrical portion 39 for assembly. Further, as described above, the connecting member 28 is attached to the back surface side of the monitor display 21 and has leg portions 29 at both ends, and the movable member 33 is attached to the pole 22 side and is rotatable with respect to the base member 32. In short, the structure in which the presser member 34 is assembled becomes the monitor attachment 27.

  Therefore, the assembly of the monitor attachment 27 will be described. The leg portion 29 of the connecting member 28, which is integrally attached to the back surface of the monitor display 21 with the leg portion 29 on the outside in advance, is extended in a tongue shape of the movable member 33. And the other friction member 43 such as hard rubber or elastic washer is interposed between the two, and the bolt 44 is inserted into the bolt insertion holes 30 and 41 and the other end is inserted. The nut 45 is screwed to the nut and the nut 45 is tightened to an appropriate strength so that the contact surface is slidably connected with a certain external force. With respect to the pole 22 attached to the side surface of the incubator 1, the monitor attachment 27 to which the monitor display 21 is connected in this way is formed so that the convex portion 35 of the base member 32 extends from the upper end portion to the groove-like concave portion 23 of the pole 22. The knob screw 36 is screwed in and fixed to the pole 22 when it is mounted at the required height. A cap 46 is attached to the upper end surface of the pole 22 after the monitor attachment 27 is attached.

  When the monitor display 21 attached via the monitor attachment 27 to the pole 22 attached to the incubator 1 in this way is to change the vertical tilt angle of the display surface according to the height of the viewer. The tilt angle in the vertical direction can be changed by holding the display surface, and even if the display surface is changed by touching the display surface, the angle does not change due to the presence of the friction member 43. is there. Further, when it is desired to change the display surface by rotating it relative to the pole 22 (horizontal direction in the horizontal direction) depending on the viewing direction, it can be easily changed by the presence of the movable member 33.

  In any case, the above-described monitor attachment 27 can easily set the display surface of the monitor display 21 installed in the incubator 1 to the tilt angle in the vertical direction and the rotation angle in the horizontal direction with respect to the pole 22 set in advance. Furthermore, since the movable member 33 is attached to a base member 32 for fixation formed in a cylindrical shape, the center axis of the pole 22 can be rotated about the rotation axis, and the monitor display 21 can be changed by the leg portion 29 of the connecting member 28 with respect to the movable member 33, so that an extra indirect member or the like is not necessary and the distance from the pole 22 can be shortened. As a result, the moment applied to the pole 22 can be reduced, and an increase in cost and apparatus weight can be suppressed. The monitor attachment 27 is filed as another invention.

  Therefore, a unique and characteristic configuration of the pole 22 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the pole 22 includes a main body portion 47 and a cap 46. As described above, the main body portion extends along the length direction on both side surfaces of the opposing surface. A groove-like recess 23 is formed up to both ends, and a similar groove-like recess 23 a is formed on the cap 46 corresponding to the groove-like recess 23 of the main body portion 47.

  The main body 47 of the pole 22 is made of metal, and has a groove shape as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, for example, by drawing aluminum material, drawing and ironing, or processing by molding including casting. In addition, the concave portion 23 is formed, the wall portion 48 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the bottom portion of the groove-shaped concave portion 23, and the hollow portions 49 are formed on both sides of the wall portion 48. The bottom surface of the groove-like recess 23 is not a curved surface but a flat surface.

  By forming the main body portion 47 of the pole 22 in this way, that is, by forming the hollow portion 49, the weight can be reduced. In FIG. 50 and the wall 48 resist as an aggregate, and the bottom surface of the groove-shaped recess 23 resists as an aggregate against bending in the front-rear direction (Y-axis). However, a stable pole that is strong against bending can be obtained.

  The cap 46 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 12, since the cap 46 is attached so as to cover the upper end portion of the main body portion 47 of the pole 22, it is a plastic that is semispherical as a whole, preferably, for example, colored green. However, groove-shaped recesses 23 a are formed on both sides so that the lower end surface thereof has the same shape as the upper end surface of the main body portion 47.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, a pair of locking legs having a cross-sectional arc shape are fitted at the lower end portion of the cap 46 so as to fit into the hollow portions 49 provided in the main body portion 47 of the pole 22. A portion 51 and a locking leg portion 52 having a V-shaped cross section are formed to protrude to a required length.

  When the cap 46 is attached to the upper end portion of the main body portion 47 of the pole 22, the V-shaped locking is performed so that the arc-shaped locking portion 51 comes into contact with the inner wall surface near the outer side of each hollow portion 49. The leg portion 52 is attached in a stable state by being fitted and attached so as to elastically contact both side surfaces of each hollow portion 49.

  Further, since the groove-shaped recesses 23 having a flat bottom surface are provided on both side surfaces of the pole 22, the tightening force of the knob screw 36 for attaching the monitor attachment 27 to the pole 22 is increased. Even if an external force is applied, it will not be displaced, and the surface of the pole 22 will not be damaged by screw tightening, so that the appearance of the appearance will not be impaired. Furthermore, since a plurality of cables or cords (not shown) connecting between the monitor display 21 and the incubator 1 can be stored together in one groove-like recess 23, another part for fixing the cable is It becomes unnecessary.

  The pole 22 according to the present invention is a pole 22 of a required length in which a lower end portion is attached to a required position of the incubator 1 and a newborn monitor display 21 is attached to the upper end portion side. Since the groove-like recesses 23 are formed along the length direction on both side surfaces of the position, the monitor display 21 is attached so that it can be moved vertically along the groove-like recesses. The monitor display 21 can be moved in the vertical direction, the angle change in the vertical direction, and the horizontal direction can be freely changed so as to be easy to see according to the height of the person who operates the display. Even if an external force for touch operation is applied to the surface, the monitor display 21 does not bend so that it does not shake or shift or change its angle. Can be operated while looking at the display unit in an appropriate state at all times, so that an operation error due to misrecognition can be eliminated, not limited to the incubator 1 according to the embodiment, but for other transports. It can be widely used for incubators.
