Description

In the present invention, a plurality of carts (hereinafter referred to as nurse skirts) called nurse wagons and nurse skirts used in hospitals and the like are collectively arranged, and necessary equipment and the like are mounted and electronic devices are charged. It relates to furniture for nurse skirts (hereinafter, also referred to as a nurse skirt terminal or simply a cart terminal) installed in a place for performing (for example, a nurse center or a place adjacent thereto).

In hospitals with inpatients, it is necessary to include a personal computer in order for the nurse to patrol between each patient and take necessary measures such as measuring the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, etc. and changing the drip solution, bandage, etc. Nurse skirts are used to carry various 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 state close to the cart terminal.

At the cart terminal where multiple nurses are placed close to each other, each nurse can charge the power supply of the personal computer and PHS used for business, and operate the personal computer on the arranged nurse skirt. Will be.

By the way, in a conventional cart terminal in which a plurality of nurse skirts are collectively arranged close to each other, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a housing portion Sb having a substantially rectangular shape in front view and a small front-rear width is provided. There is one formed in the cart terminal CT with the left right side supported by a substantially inverted T-shaped side frame SF.

When a plurality of nurse skirts are collectively arranged on both front and rear sides of the cart terminal CT in a face-to-face state, the feet with casters of each nurse skirt come into contact with the lower part of the housing portion Sb, so that the top board of each nurse skirt The housing portion Sb fulfills a stopper function that the tip does not collide with the housing portion Sb of the cart terminal CT or covers the upper surface of the housing portion Sb.

The housing portion Sb of the cart terminal CT is formed in a room having a hollow interior, and also has a storage function for a power cord and the like and an extra length portion thereof. Further, the left and right side frame SFs that support the housing portion Sb are formed in an appearance having a front-rear width equivalent to the front-rear width of the housing portion Sb.

By the way, in order to change the appearance impression of the cart terminal CT, for example, if the front-rear width of the housing portion Sb is formed to be 1/2 or less of the front-rear width shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cart terminal CT is provided. The function of not causing the tip of the top board of the nurse skirt to collide with the housing portion Sb, or the function of not covering the tip end side of the top board with the upper surface of the housing portion Sb is lost.

The present invention has a function that the conventional cart terminal has by its form so that the tip of the top board of the approaching nurse skirt does not collide with the cart terminal, or the tip of the top board is not covered with the upper surface of the cart terminal. Even in a cart terminal whose function is impaired due to a design change, etc., the tip of the top board of the nurse skirt placed in the cart terminal does not collide with the cart terminal, and the nurse skirts arranged facing each other do not collide with each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cart terminal having a structure in which the top boards of the above do not interfere with each other.

The configuration of the cart terminal of the present invention made for the purpose of solving the above problems is
The side frame formed in a substantially inverted T shape in the side view by a horizontal foot extending in the front-rear direction and a strut portion rising substantially vertically from the center in the length direction of the foot, and the side frame arranged apart from each other in the left-right direction. In a nurse skirt terminal provided with an upper connecting frame that connects between the facing upper portions of the side frames, nurses are arranged so as to approach the front side and the rear surface side of the nurse skirt terminal between the facing lower portions of the side frame. It is characterized by installing a bumper that regulates the approaching position of the nurse skirt so that the top boards of the cart do not interfere with each other.

The bumper is formed by connecting both ends of at least two steel pipe members arranged in parallel with a connecting member to form a substantially rectangular outer shape in a plan view. The bumper is formed by bending the edge portion on the long side side or the edge portion on the long side side and the short side side of a substantially rectangular steel plate in a plan view into a substantially U-shaped cross section or a substantially inverted L-shape. Can be used.

The bumper has a mounting form in which a mounting member is interposed between the connecting member and the side frame, or between the short side and the side frame, and the bumper is coupled to the side frame.

The upper connecting frame in the present invention has a vertically long substantially inverted concave cross section or a vertically long substantially square cross section, and is provided with an electric connector including a power outlet on the upper surface or both front and rear surfaces thereof.

Further, the upper connecting frame includes a single top plate placed on the upper connecting frame via a top plate supporting member of the upper connecting frame, and the single top plate is an electric connector including a power outlet. There is one equipped with.

In the nurse skirt terminal of the present invention, the upper connecting frame having an electric connector on the upper surface may be provided with two top plates sandwiching the upper end of the upper connecting frame via a top plate supporting member. is there.

Further, the top plate support member that supports the two top plates is detachably provided on the mounting portion of the top plate support member provided on the front and rear surfaces of the support column portion.

Further, the mounting portions of the top plate support members for the two top plates are provided so that the height of the top plate support members can be selected and mounted on the upper half of the front and rear surfaces of the support columns.

In the present invention, it is possible to form a cart terminal in a form in which two top plates are supported by top plate support members mounted at different heights on the front and rear surfaces of the support columns.

Further, the support column portion of the side frame may be formed of a strength member having a substantially concave lateral cross-sectional shape and a removable cover member for closing the open surface of the strength member.

When the strut portion has the above structure, the mounting portion of the top plate support member for the two top plates is provided on the strength member of the strut portion.

Further, panel members including a curtain plate can be detachably or opened / closed on the front and rear surfaces of the upper connecting frame and the lower connecting frame.

Since the cart terminal of the present invention is provided with bumpers at the lower part of the left and right side frames that define the limit of access of the nurse skirt, even if the cart terminal is designed to have a small front-rear width of the cart terminal, it has casters of the nurse skirt. Since the foot touches the bumper before the top board reaches the cart terminal, it is possible to avoid interference between the top boards of the facing nurse skirts and prevent the tip of the top board from colliding with the cart terminal.

The perspective view of an example of the cart terminal of this invention. The bottom side perspective view of the cart terminal of FIG. Front view of the cart terminal of FIG. A side view of an example in which a nurse skirt is arranged in the cart terminal of FIG. A perspective view of an example of a conventional cart terminal. Longitudinal side view of the cart terminal of FIG.

Next, an example of the embodiment of the cart terminal of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a horizontal foot portion extending in the front-rear direction, 1a is an adjuster provided on both ends of the lower surface of the foot portion 1, and 2 is vertically rising at substantially the center in the length direction of the foot portion 1. It is a strut part provided in a vertical position. The strut portion 2 is formed to be considerably thinner than the front-rear width of the strut portion of the conventional cartter mill shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 due to design requirements.

The foot portion 1 and the strut portion 2 standing in contact with the foot portion 1 form a side frame SF exhibiting a substantially inverted T shape in a lateral view. The length (height) of the support column 2 in the illustrated side frame SF is formed to be larger than the height at which the top plates 6 and 7 described later are provided.
Although not shown, the cart terminal according to the present invention includes a support column 2 having substantially the same height as the upper surfaces of the top plates 6 and 7 of FIG. 1 and a support column 2 higher than the height of the support column 2 shown in FIG. There is also a cart terminal used.

The left and right sides of the side frame SF are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the left-right direction, and the upper connecting frame 3 is erected and connected to the upper portion of the arranged left and right side frame SFs on the opposite surfaces. It is configured as an example of a form of a cart terminal CT including a frame SF and an upper connecting frame 3 coupled to the side frame SF.

As an example, the upper connecting frame 3 is formed of a connecting frame main body 3a having a vertically long and substantially concave cross section. Some of the connecting frame main body 3a has a lid portion that is detachably covered on the upper surface opening. The front-rear width of the connecting frame main body 3a is the same size as the front-rear width of the strut portion 2, and the front-rear width is made small (thickness is thin). This is to make the front-rear width of the cart terminal CT look thinner (smarter) due to design requirements.

The connecting frame main body 3a is not limited to the vertically long substantially concave member having a cross-sectional shape, and for example, a combination member in which members having a horizontally long concave cross section face each other or a vertically long substantially □ -shaped member can be used.

The connecting frame main body 3a has a cord insertion structure in which an electric cord can be passed through the inside from the lower surface side thereof and the electric cord can be pulled out to the upper surface side.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a bumper erected at the lower part of the facing surface of the left and right side frame SFs. The illustrated bumper 4 is viewed in a plan view by a bumper main body 4a made of two steel pipe members having an outer dimension separation width of about 200 to 300 mm and a connecting member 4b that connects and integrates at least both ends of the two steel pipe members. The outline of the bumper is formed in a substantially horizontal rectangular bumper. The bumper 4 is coupled (fixed) to the facing inner surfaces of the side frame SF by bolts, nuts, screws, or the like at the coupling members 4b at both ends.
The bumper main body 4a may use two or more steel pipe members, and it is arbitrary whether a square pipe or a round pipe is used for the steel pipe member. Instead of the steel pipe member, a channel material can be used for the bumper main body 4a so as to have a substantially U-shaped cross section. The number of connecting members 4b may be only two at both ends, or may be four or more including both ends.

If the width (front-back width) in the direction parallel to the foot portion 1 is 200 to 300 mm, the bumper 4 has a substantially rectangular steel plate member on the long side side edge or the long side side and short side side edges. May be formed in a bumper 4 having a substantially rectangular contour in a plan view by bending the cross section into a substantially U shape or a substantially inverted L shape.
In the bumper 4 formed of the steel plate member, the bumper 4 whose edges are not bent to the left and right in the length direction is the left and right of the bumper 4 because of the connection between the bumper 4 and the inner surface of the side frame SF (support portion 2). A mounting member (not shown) may be interposed between the side end portion and the facing inner surfaces of the left and right side frame SFs. The mounting member may be used in connecting the bumper 4 of another form to the inner surface of the side frame SF.

The front-rear width of each of the above-mentioned bumpers 4 is formed to be larger than the front-rear width of the support column 2 (the width in the direction parallel to the foot portion 1). This is because the front-rear width of the support column 1 is narrow as described above, and the front-rear width of the entire cart terminal is formed to be small according to this width. Therefore, if the bumper 4 is not provided, the support portion 1 is arranged facing the cart terminal. This is because the top boards of the nurse skirt interfere with each other. Incidentally, in the conventional cart terminal CT shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the front-rear width of the support column portion of the side frame SF and the front-rear width of the housing portion Sb forming the terminal body are formed to be the same, so that the width is wide. There was no interference between the top boards even with the nurse skirts arranged facing each other depending on the width. In addition, in FIGS. 5 and 6, the same members as those of the cart terminal CT of FIGS. 1 to 4 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In the present invention, the most basic is the left and right side frame SFs having the foot portion 1 and the support portion 2, the upper connecting frame 3 for connecting both side frame SFs, and the bumper 4 erected below the side frame SFs. It is configured in the cart terminal CT of the present invention in the form.

In the example of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the configuration described below is added to the cart terminal CT of the present invention of the above basic embodiment.

In the cart terminal CT of the present invention of the basic form, two curtain plate-shaped panel members 5 are detachably installed on both front and rear surfaces of the left and right strut portions 2 between the upper connecting frame 3 and the lower bumper 4. ing. The space between the two panel members 5 can be used as a space for forming a holding portion in the insertion portion of the electric cord or the extra length cord.

Further, in the cart terminal CT of the present invention in the basic form, as shown in FIG. 1, one top plate 6 is placed on the upper surface of the upper connecting frame main body 3a. On the upper surface of the top plate 6, four electric connectors 6a including a power outlet connected to the electric cord are arranged at equal pitches in the example of the figure. An electric connector 6a such as a USB port is arranged near the front edge of the back surface of the single top plate 6.
In the present invention, there is also a cart terminal CT in which two top plates are provided so as to sandwich the upper surface of the upper connecting frame main body 3a having a lid.

The single top plate 6 is supported by bracket-shaped top plate support members 7 and 8 provided on the respective support columns 2 in the left and right side frame SFs. Although not shown, the single top plate 6 is also supported by a top plate support member (not shown in the figure) provided in the middle portion of the upper connecting frame 3.

In the cart terminal CT of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a strut member having an upper end side 2a whose upper end is located higher than the height of the top plates 6 and 7 is used for the strut portion 2 of the left and right side frame SFs. .. This is because the support bar member 9 for locking the display panel or the like is erected between the facing surfaces of the upper side 2a of the left and right strut portions 2.

The cart terminal CT of the present invention is as described above, and the bumpers 4 provided under the left and right side frame SFs forming the cart terminal CT have the following effects.
That is, as illustrated in FIG. 4, when the nurse skirt NC is brought close to the cart terminal CT, the tip Na of the top board N1 of the nurse skirt NC does not collide with the cart terminal CT. This is because the tip portion Nb of the foot N2 provided with the caster N3 of the nurse skirt NC abuts on the bumper 4 first. As a result, even in the cart terminal CT designed to reduce the front-rear width of the terminal body by the left and right support columns 2, the upper connecting frame 3 and the panel member 5, the top board tip Na of the nurse skirt NC collides with the terminal body Tb. Never (see Figure 4).

Further, even when the top board N1 of the nurse skirt NC is located higher than the upper surface of the cart terminal CT, the top board N1 does not cover the upper surface of the cart terminal CT. Therefore, the top board of the nurse skirt NC arranged face-to-face. The N1s do not interfere with each other, and the operation of the PC placed on each top board N1 is not hindered by the presence of the nurse skirt NC on the opposite side.
In FIG. 4, N4 is a support of the nurse skirt NC, N5 is a shelf provided on the support N4, and N6 is a handle for pushing and pulling.
