Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a transport box for small animals that is used when transporting small animals.

(Prior technology) Traditionally, small animals used in clinical experiments and drug experiments at universities and hospitals have been transported in special transport boxes, but in consideration of handling, relatively lightweight cardboard or Cardboard boxes are common.

As shown in Fig. 1, this small animal transport box is equipped with a double-opening lid piece on the top surface of the box body 1 for accommodating small animals, and a transparent window on the side plate 2 of the box for observing the inside of the box. A window frame 13 is attached. When these small animal transport boxes are no longer used, they are generally incinerated for hygiene reasons.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional small animal transport box mentioned above, the transparent window for internal observation is stamped from synthetic resin such as acrylic or plastic, so if the box is incinerated,
There was a major problem in that they emitted foul odors, black smoke, and harmful gases, causing air pollution and environmental destruction.

Therefore, the small animal transport box of the present invention was developed to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a small animal transport box that can prevent pollution and reuse resources.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was made to achieve the above purpose.
It is a box for transporting small animals used in clinical experiments and drug experiments at universities, hospitals, etc. It is made of cardboard and has a double-opening lid piece on the top surface, and a lid piece that is fixed at a predetermined position on the side of the box. In a small animal transportation box that has three or more openings and is fixed by fitting a resin viewing window into the opening, the opening of the box is designed to allow the viewing window to be detachably attached to the box. The gist of this box is a small animal transport box characterized by a large number of notches and depressions formed at predetermined intervals on the periphery of the box.

(Function) According to the small animal transport box of the present invention, a large number of notches and depressions are formed at predetermined intervals on the periphery of the opening of the box, and the viewing window can be detached from the box.

(Example) An example to which the small animal transport box of the present invention is applied will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing the portion of the small animal transport box of this embodiment with the window frame removed from the side panel.

As shown in FIG. 2, the small animal transport box of this embodiment has U-shaped recesses 6 formed at regular intervals on the peripheral end surface 4 of the window frame attachment opening 3 formed in the side plate 2. It consists of a structure in which cut lines 8 are provided at predetermined intervals.

Next, the functions and effects of this embodiment will be explained. The small animal transport box of this embodiment has a U-shaped cutout 6 and a cut line 8 formed on the peripheral end surface 4 when the window frame 13 is attached to and removed from the window frame attachment opening 3 of the side plate 2 of the box body 1. is pushed or pulled by the window frame 13, and the window frame attachment opening 3 of the side plate 2 is expanded.

As a result, when the small animal transport box of this embodiment is disposed of by incineration, the window frame 13 can be removed from the box body 1 before being incinerated, thereby preventing the generation of foul odors, black smoke, and harmful gases. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of pollution. Furthermore, since the window frame 13, which is a synthetic resin product, can be used repeatedly without being discarded, it is also possible to reuse resources.

In the above embodiment, U-shaped cut portions 6 are formed at regular intervals on the circumferential end surface 4 of the window frame attachment opening 3 formed in the side plate 2, and a large number of cut lines 8 are formed at predetermined intervals. However, as shown in Fig. 3, the side plate 2
U-shaped cuts 6 are formed at regular intervals on the peripheral end surface 4 of the window frame mounting opening 3 formed in the window frame mounting opening 3, and cuts perpendicular to the peripheral end surface 4 are formed on the peripheral end surface 4 of the window frame mounting opening 3. Even if a plurality of long U-shaped notches 10 cut out by the line 8 and the cut line 9 parallel to the peripheral end surface 4 are formed at regular intervals, the same functions and effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

(Effects) As detailed above, the small animal transport box of the present invention has a number of notches and depressions formed around the opening of the box, making it possible to attach and remove the viewing window from the box. It became. As a result, when the small animal transport box of this invention is incinerated, the viewing window can be removed from the box body and incinerated, thereby preventing the generation of foul odors, black smoke, and harmful gases, thereby preventing pollution. can do. Furthermore, since the viewing window, which is a synthetic resin product, can be used repeatedly without being discarded, it is also possible to reuse resources.
