Description

In the present invention, a plurality of carts and carts (hereinafter referred to as “nerskarts”) called nurse wagons and nurses used in hospitals and the like are collectively arranged to mount necessary equipment and charge electronic devices. Regarding fixtures for nurse skirts (hereinafter referred to as nurse skirt terminals or cart terminals) installed in the nurse center and its adjacent locations in order to perform such activities.

In hospitals with inpatients, a nurse will patrol between each patient and include a personal computer to take necessary measures such as measuring blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, etc. of each patient, and exchanging drip solution and bandages. A nurse skirt is used to carry the necessary equipment, equipment, tools, and supplies.

In the above-mentioned nurse skirt, for example, when each nurse gathers at the nurse center, each nurse skirt carried by each person is arranged side by side in a joined state around the cart terminal.

At the cart terminal where nurses are gathered, tasks such as charging the power supply of the personal computer and PHS used by each nurse for business, and operating the personal computer on the arranged nurse skirt are also performed.

By the way, in the conventional cart terminal, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the left and right sides of the housing portion Sb, which is rectangular in the front view and has a small front-rear width, is supported by a substantially inverted T-shaped side frame SF. There is a cart terminal CT formed with a top plate Bt extending in front and behind the upper part of the housing portion Sb of the cart terminal CT. Sp is a bracket-shaped support member that supports the top plate Bt.

In the conventional cart terminal, the height of the top plate Tb that brings the nurse skirt close to the cart terminal is set to the height that covers the top board of the nurse skirt, and a nurse or the like stands on the top plate Bt. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the height of the top plate Bt is set to a low height so that it can be used by hanging it on a chair.

Some of the work and work done at the cart terminal is easier to do in a standing position, and some work needs to be done calmly on a chair, so which is the height of the top plate of the cart terminal? If it is fixed to one side, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform work suitable for the height of the other side. In view of this point, furniture such as a cart terminal equipped with a top plate that allows the height of the top plate to be freely changed by power of a motor cylinder or the like has recently been proposed.

However, if the top plate configuration that can change the height using power is applied to the conventional cart terminal, the structure becomes complicated and the product price becomes high, and the added top plate is raised and lowered. There is also a problem that the mechanism is bulky and makes it difficult to bring the nurse skirt close to the cart terminal.

It is a fine strut part that has been set up.

The foot portion 1 and the strut portion 2 form a side frame SF having a substantially inverted T-shape in side view. As shown in FIG. 4, the support column 2 in the side frame SF is formed by a laterally substantially concave strength member 2a and a removable cover member 2b that closes the open portion of the strength member 2a.

The structure and form of the support column 2 is an example, and the support column 2 of the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the height of the strut portion 2 is also an example of the strut portion 2 having the height shown in FIG. 1 because of the function provided by the cart terminal of the present invention, and the strut portion having the height illustrated in FIGS. There is also a cart terminal of the present invention provided with a part 2.

In the present invention, the two side frame SFs are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the left-right direction, and the upper connecting frame 3 is erected above the facing surfaces of the arranged left and right side frame SFs so as to face the side frame SFs. By erection and joining the bumper 4 on the lower part of the surface, the base of the cart terminal by the left and right side frames SF, the upper connecting frame 3, and the lower bumper 4 is formed.

Here, the upper connecting frame 3 is, for example, a slightly vertically long upper connecting frame main body 3a having a substantially concave cross-sectional shape, and a substantially narrow plate-shaped lid portion detachably covered on the upper surface opening of the upper connecting frame main body 3a. It is composed of 3b, and an electric connector 3c including a power outlet is arranged on a substantially central line of the lid portion 3b.

Further, the front-rear width of the upper connecting frame 3 is adjusted to the same size as the strut portion 2 having a fine front-rear width. Further, the vertical width (height) of the upper connecting frame 3 is set to be at least twice the front-rear width in relation to the installation positions of the two top plates 5 and 6 having different heights described later. ..

Since the inside of the upper connecting frame 3 is hollow, it functions as a wiring cord insertion portion for the electric connector 3c provided on the lid portion 3b and a housing portion for the extra length cord (wiring insertion portion and hook for holding the wiring). And trays, etc.).

The support column 2 and the upper connecting frame 3 described above are provided with top plate support members for supporting two top plates 5 and 6 having different heights.

The top plate support members include bracket-shaped support members 7 and 8 for supporting both the high-position top plate 5 and the low-position top plate 6 at the outer end portions of both top plates 5 and 6 in the length direction. , It is formed by short arm-shaped support members 9 and 10 for supporting the intermediate portions of both top plates 5 and 6 at at least two positions in the length direction.

As an example, the bracket-shaped support members 7 and 8 are made of a steel plate having a substantially L-shaped side view and are provided with a plurality of locking claws 7a and 8a outward on the short side, and the locking claws 7a and 8a are the support portions 2. By engaging with a plurality of locking slits 21a formed on the front and rear surfaces of the strength member 2a, the lower surfaces of the top plates 5 and 6 are supported from below on the upper surface on the long side.

The short arm-shaped support members 9 and 10 are attached to the upper surface of the upper connecting frame main body 3a at an appropriate pitch, and support the intermediate portions of the top plates 5 and 6 from the lower surface thereof.

The heights of the two top plates 5 and 6 having different heights supported by the bracket-shaped support members 7 and 8 and the short arm-shaped support members 9 and 10 are set as follows as an example. ing.

The height of the higher top plate 5 is set to a height suitable for working on the top plate in a standing posture, for example, about 900 mm, and the height of the lower top plate 6 is set to the chair. The height is set to a height suitable for working on the top plate in a hung posture, for example, about 720 mm. The heights of the top plates 5 and 6 are examples, and it is optional to set other heights according to the purpose.

In the example shown in the figure, the bumper 4 is a combination of a bumper main body 4a made of two square pipe materials having an outer dimension separation width of about 200 to 300 mm and two bumper main bodies 4a connected to each other at both end ends and an intermediate portion. It is formed by the member 4b as an example of the lower connecting frame, and is fixed to the facing surfaces of the left and right side frame SFs by bolts, nuts, screws, or the like. The bumper body 4a in the bumper 4 functions as a stopper that the feet with casters of the nurse skirts arranged close to each other come into contact with each other and cannot advance any further. The bumper 4 can be replaced by, for example, a steel plate member whose front and rear ends are bent into a substantially U shape, instead of using two square pipe materials. The lower connecting frame is not limited to the above embodiment as long as it fulfills the bumper function.

The bumper 4 fulfills its stopper function because its front-rear width is formed to be larger than the front-rear width of the support column 2. Incidentally, in the conventional nurse skirt terminals shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, since the front-rear width of the housing portion Sb is wide, the lower portion of the housing portion Sb functions as a stopper when the nurse skirts are arranged close to each other.

Two front and rear curtain plate-shaped panel members 11 are detachably provided between the upper connecting frame 3 and the bumper 4 in one form of the lower connecting frame, depending on the front and rear width of the upper connecting frame 3.
