Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is installed in a hospital toilet, etc., and stores a patient's urine for 24 hours, for example from noon on the same day to noon on the next day, without discarding it each time they urinate, and measures the amount of urine. ,
The present invention relates to a urine storage device for conducting tests such as urinalysis.

Conventionally, a bag has been used as a urine storage container. The urine storage container will be described with reference to FIG. 1 of the present invention. An opening is provided at one end of a flat waterproof bag 1, and bag edges for passing a hanging rod 2 are formed on opposite sides of the opening. 3, and the bag bottom 4 is formed completely closed, unlike the illustration. 5
is the part where the bag edges 3 on both sides of the opening edge are removed.

The above-mentioned conventional urine storage container is suspended by inserting the bag rim 3 through a hanging rod 2 attached to a wall surface, etc., and after urine has been stored for 24 hours, for example, it is removed from the hanging rod 2 to measure the amount of urine and complete the urine test. After that, you can dispose of the urine directly into the toilet bowl, or if you are far from the toilet, you can hang the urine storage container (bag) on another carrier equipped with a hanging rod and take it out and throw it away. It spilled and stained the surrounding area, so it was necessary to clean up the residue, which not only made the work complicated but also unsanitary.

In addition, this urine storage container (bag) used to be disposable, but due to the price increase since the oil crisis, it is now possible to dispose of the urine and wash it and reuse it, except for those of patients who require strict testing such as carriers. are doing. but,
This is the part that nurses hate the most.

This invention has solved the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a urine storage device that can save labor without soiling hands and surrounding areas, and can be washed and reused hygienically. .

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, A is a urine storage container, and this container A has an opening formed at one end of a flat waterproof bag 1, and a hanging rod 2 is passed through the opposite side edges of the opening except for both ends. A bag edge 3 is formed, and a discharge port 6 which is open and not joined is formed at the bottom of the bag. The discharge port 6 is formed by sloping the inner edge of the bag bottom seal and opening a part of the bag bottom at the lower end of the slope.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support frame 23 is provided with container support plates 24 and 25 at the front and rear, and support pieces 22 and 22 provided at different heights on the support plates 24 and 25 are horizontally attached. A plurality of hanging rods 2 are attached at predetermined intervals in the direction.

These hanging rods 2 are arranged parallel to each other in a set of two, and by inserting the bag edge 3 through each set of hanging rods 2, the urine storage container A can be assembled as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in the figure, multiple units can be hung in parallel with the openings open. Note that an opening/closing lid 21 for closing the opening of the suspended container A is attached between each set of hanging rods 2.

Further, a funnel-shaped tank 18 is formed at the lower part of the support frame 23 and positioned below the suspended urine storage container A, and two crosspieces 8 extending horizontally on the upper part of the tank 18 are provided. 8 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, this crosspiece 8 is constructed by slidably attaching a similar-shaped crosspiece b to the inside of a crosspiece a such as a channel-shaped steel, and the portion of the crosspiece 8 that corresponds to each set of hanging rods 2. Openings 9a and 9b for inserting the discharge port 6 portion of the bag 1 are formed in the openings 9a and 9b.

Clip pieces c and d forming the clip 7 are attached facing each other to one side of the opening 9a of the crosspiece a and one side of the opening 9b of the crosspiece b, respectively. Packing 11 is attached to the opposing surfaces of pieces c and d. Clip 7 above
In this case, when the crosspiece b is slid relative to the crosspiece a, the clip pieces c and d approach and separate, opening and closing the outlet 6 of the container A.

In the above case, the opening formed between the clip pieces c and d becomes the urine drain port 26, and the opening amount of the urine drain port 26 is changed by sliding the crosspiece b as described above.

On the other hand, the pedal 1 is attached to the side of the support frame 23.
A clip drive mechanism 27 is provided that opens and closes the clip 7 in conjunction with the depression of the clip 7. That is, in FIGS. 2 and 3, 12 is a chain of pedals, 13 is a link that swings with the chain 12, 14 is an operating piece that slides the crosspiece b back and forth by the swing of the link 13, and 15 is an operating piece. A mounting bar supports the central part of the piece 14; 16 is a handle that locks at the end point when the pedal 10 is depressed; that is, when the clip is closed; 17 is a coil spring that restores the petal to the raised position; When the hook 16a connected to the petal 1 is removed, the petal 1
0 rises due to the elasticity of the coil spring 17, the operating piece 14 slides the crosspiece b to open the clip 7, and the urine stored in the container A is discharged into the tank 18 from the discharge port 6.

On the other hand, in order to store urine in the container A, the handle 16 is operated while the petal 10 is depressed, the hook 16a is engaged with the petal 10, and the clip 7 is locked in the closed state.

In the above embodiment, the clip 7 is opened and closed in conjunction with the depression of the pedal as described above. You may also do so.

On the other hand, a discharge hose 19 is connected to the bottom of the tank 18, and the end of this hose 19 is inserted into a drain port 20 on the floor.

The urine storage container of the present invention has the above-described structure, and has a discharge port formed at the bottom of the waterproof bag, and is hung from a hanging rod of a urine storage device using the bag edge formed at the opening edge of the bag. Since the drain port at the bottom of the bag is closed with a clip provided on the urine storage device while the bag opening is open, the urine stored in the urine storage container can be drained by simply opening the clip. In addition, when cleaning and reusing, each urine storage container can be washed with water flowing out from the end of the water hose by hanging it on a hanging rod and leaving the outlet at the bottom of the bag open. These operations are hygienic and labor-saving because they do not get the hands dirty, and are effective in that nurses can perform them as part of their duties without any hesitation.

Furthermore, as in the embodiment, if the outlet at the bottom of the bag in the urine storage container is formed by slanting the inner edge of the bag bottom seal and forming it in a part of the bottom of the bag at the bottom of the slope, the clip can be made smaller and the tightening force can be reduced. There are advantages to having a
