Description

  The present invention relates to a storage case for an automatic external defibrillator. More particularly, the present invention relates to a storage case for an automatic external defibrillator that can easily visually check the status indicator provided in the defibrillator while the automatic external defibrillator is stored inside. .

  A defibrillator is used as a device for applying electrical stimulation (defibrillation) to a patient who has suddenly caused cardiopulmonary arrest by ventricular fibrillation. Conventionally, this defibrillator is only allowed to be handled by doctors, nurses or paramedics, and has been installed in limited places such as hospitals. However, patients who have had cardiopulmonary arrest due to ventricular fibrillation need to be defibrillated as soon as possible. For so-called non-medical workers other than doctors, automatic external defibrillators with automated operation Use of (AED: automated external defibrillator) was approved.

  At present, automatic external defibrillators are beginning to be installed in various places where many people gather, such as airport lobbies, station platforms or schools. This automatic external defibrillator is installed on the wall surface of the above place in a storage case consisting of a box-type storage part and a door part with a transparent window, and is a patient with cardiopulmonary arrest When this occurs, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation is taken according to the instructions of the voice that is taken out of the storage case and emitted from the automatic external defibrillator.

  Since the automatic external defibrillator installed in this way needs to be ready for use at any time, an automatic self-test is automatically performed by the automatic external defibrillator itself. The result of this self-test is displayed on a status indicator provided on the surface of the automatic external defibrillator. The administrator of the automatic external defibrillator checks the status of the above indicator to determine whether it can be used, and repairs and periodically replaces the battery. It is cumbersome to take out from the trouble and check the indicator. For this reason, the administrator confirms the state of the indicator through the transparent window from the outside of the storage case. However, the conventional storage case is not always easy to see the indicator through the transparent window, especially when the installation place is a dark room or when light enters the transparent window. In some cases, it was difficult to judge the status of the indicator.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a storage for an automatic external defibrillator in which the status indicator provided in the defibrillator can be easily visually recognized from the outside while the automatic external defibrillator is stored. To provide a case.

  The above problems are solved by the following present invention. That is, the present invention includes a box-type storage unit 2 having an open front surface for storing an automatic external defibrillator (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “defibrillator”) 6 and the stored defibrillator. 6 has a transparent window 4 that can be visually recognized from the outside, and includes a storage case for an automatic external defibrillator (hereinafter simply referred to as “storage case”) comprising a door portion 3 that covers the front opening of the storage portion 2 so as to be openable and closable. 1) in a state where the defibrillator 6 having the status indicator 7 is housed inside and the door portion 3 is closed, the Fresnel is positioned at a position facing the indicator 7 of the transparent window 4. A storage case 1 having a lens 5 attached thereto.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the storage case which can visually recognize the status indicator with which this defibrillator was equipped from the outside can be provided in the state in which the defibrillator was stored.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a storage case according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the storage case of the present invention. The storage case 1 of the present invention is a storage case 1 used for safely installing the defibrillator 6 in various places, and its basic structure is to store the defibrillator 6 as shown in FIG. A box-shaped storage unit 2 having an open front surface and a transparent window 4 through which the stored defibrillator 6 can be seen from the outside, and a door unit that covers the front opening of the storage unit 2 so as to be openable and closable. It consists of three.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the box-type storage portion 2 constituting the present invention is for storing a defibrillator 6 to be installed, and its front surface is opened to the extent that the defibrillator 6 can be taken in and out. Yes. The storage unit 2 is not different from the storage case conventionally used in terms of its material, size and shape, and any conventionally known one can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the door 3 constituting the present invention is attached to one side thereof with a hinge 8 that fixes the door 3 so as to be freely opened and closed. A stopper 9 that prevents the door 3 from being opened without permission is attached to the side. A handle can also be provided on the front surface of the door 3 (not shown). In addition, the vicinity of the center of the door portion 3 is opened over a wide range, and a transparent plate material made of a synthetic resin such as glass or acrylic resin is attached to the rear portion of the door portion 3 using a bolt 10 or the like. A transparent window 4 is formed (see FIG. 1). However, the material, size, and shape of the door portion 3 are not different from the conventionally used storage cases except for the portions described later, and any conventionally known one can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the storage case 1 of the present invention is characterized in that the defibrillator 6 having a status indicator 7 is stored therein and the door 3 is closed, and the transparent window 4 is closed. The Fresnel lens 5 is attached at a position facing the indicator 7. Usually, a manager or the like determines whether or not the defibrillator 6 can be used by visually recognizing the indicator 7 through the transparent window 4 from the outside of the storage case. The storage case 1 of the present invention facilitates visual recognition of the indicator 7 from the outside, and can determine whether or not the defibrillator 6 can be used more reliably. The status indicator 7 in the present invention is an instrument for confirming in advance whether or not the defibrillator 6 can be used, and is provided at an easy-to-see location on the surface of the defibrillator 6. For example, it has a form as shown in FIG.

  The Fresnel lens 5 is a lens in which the surface of the convex lens is divided into concentric circles, and the thickness of the center of the lens is substantially the same as that of the peripheral portion of the lens. It has an effect. The storage case 1 of the present invention can be mounted by superimposing the Fresnel lens 5 on the surface of the transparent plate, or the Fresnel lens 5 can be mounted as the transparent plate. When the Fresnel lens 5 is attached to the surface of the transparent plate, it may be attached to either the outer surface or the inner surface of the transparent plate, but the attachment mark is not conspicuous and the attachment to the inner surface excellent in appearance is possible. Preferred (see FIG. 1). In addition, the Fresnel lens 5 can be attached over the entire opening of the door 3, but at least at such a size that the entire indicator 7 can be visually recognized at a position facing the indicator 7 of the transparent window 4. What is necessary is just to attach (refer FIG. 2). Since the display position of the indicator 7 differs depending on the manufacturer and model of the defibrillator 6, the mounting position of the Fresnel lens 5 is adjusted accordingly.

  The method for attaching the Fresnel lens 5 is not particularly limited. For example, the Fresnel lens 5 can be attached using the bolts 10 around the opening of the door 3 together with the transparent plate (see FIG. 1). Moreover, you may attach using an adhesive agent etc. Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in particular also about the material of the Fresnel lens 5, For example, the thing made from synthetic resins, such as glass or an acrylic resin, a vinyl chloride resin, or a polycarbonate resin, is mentioned. Further, the thickness of the Fresnel lens 5 is not particularly limited as long as the entire indicator 7 is clearly visible from the outside, and can be set to 0.1 to 3.0 mm, for example.

  The Fresnel lens 5 used in the present invention can be made thinner than a normal spherical lens such as a convex lens or a concave lens. For this reason, a mounting space for the Fresnel lens 5 is not required, and mounting work is easy. Further, the appearance of the storage case 1 of the present invention to which the Fresnel lens 5 is attached is maintained as compared with that before the Fresnel lens 5 is attached. On the other hand, for example, when a convex lens instead of a Fresnel lens is used for the storage case, it is necessary to attach the convex lens so that the convex portion protrudes outward from the transparent window 4 due to the nature of the convex lens. For this reason, the attachment trace of the convex lens is conspicuous, and the appearance of the storage case is deteriorated. Further, since the convex lens is a curved surface, it is difficult to attach the transparent lens 4 to the transparent window 4 itself.

  The storage case 1 of the present invention configured as described above is fixed and installed on a wall surface or an installation stand in a public facility, a commercial facility, or the like in a state where the defibrillator 6 is stored. When a patient who suddenly has cardiopulmonary arrest due to ventricular fibrillation occurs, the door 3 of the storage case 1 is opened, the defibrillator 6 stored in the box-type storage 2 is taken out, and the patient For cardiopulmonary resuscitation. At this time, an alarm device 11 for notifying that an emergency has occurred around the door 3 as soon as the door 3 is opened may be provided in the box-shaped storage 2 and the door 3.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the storage case which can visually recognize the status indicator with which this defibrillator was equipped from the outside can be provided in the state in which the defibrillator was stored. Therefore, the present invention can be effectively used as a storage case that can easily determine whether or not a defibrillator can be used.

The perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the storage case of this invention. The elements on larger scale of the storage case of this invention.
