Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention mainly relates to a thermometer for measuring a body temperature, and a holder such as a thermometer that can be safely handled by wearing other equipment.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the thermometer used to measure the patient's body temperature in hospitals and clinics (hereinafter referred to as "thermometry") is more advantageous than the so-called digital thermometer with digital display, which has recently become popular for hygiene management. For this reason, the type in which the whole heat-sensitive part is covered with glass using mercury is often used. As is well known, such a thermometer is singly measured mainly by sandwiching the temperature sensing part between the armpits of the thermometer.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This thermometer using mercury (hereinafter simply referred to as "thermometer") can be used without any problems in normal handling, and can be disinfected with a disinfecting solution such as alcohol so that it can be touched by the patient's body and facilitate hygienic handling. It is safer and more convenient than electronic thermometers, which have become popular recently.

However, when a child or a child patient or a patient with a disability due to a physical disability uses the above-mentioned thermometer for temperature measurement, the nurse in charge may measure the temperature during the temperature measurement or after the temperature measurement ends. Between the time when the thermometer is recorded and the thermometer is collected, temporary loss is often caused by dropping the thermometer from the thermometer position and dropping the thermometer in the bedclothes. If such a situation occurs, it will not hinder the temperature measurement.In particular, in the case of a physically handicapped patient, when the patient himself / herself mistakenly moves the thermometer, the dropped thermometer will be a part of the body. There is an accident that it will be pressed against and damaged. Then, since the thermometer is made of glass as described above, the fragments may injure the body, and mercury in the temperature sensing area may be scattered to cause a serious accident.

From the above, it is considered that in hospitals, nurses need more attention than necessary to manage the thermometer at the time of temperature measurement, and even if there is no thermometer, the bed of the patient concerned is searched for and lost. It is necessary to try to collect the thermometer that is used, which results in excessive labor for nurses.

In view of the above-mentioned situation, this invention makes it possible to safely measure the temperature of a patient of any medical condition, perform normal management and processing of the thermometer, and use another device. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a holder such as a thermometer that can be held close to us and is convenient.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention attaches a holding piece having an instrument insertion hole formed of an elastic body to the end of a string-shaped string of a required length, and the holding piece of the instrument is attached. A holder for a clinical thermometer or the like, characterized in that a required device can be removably attached to the insertion hole.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention thus configured, one end of the required instrument is attached to the instrument insertion hole of the holding piece that is attached to the end of the neck by the user when the user attaches the rope to the neck. When this is inserted, this holding piece is made of an elastic material, so the insertion part of the device is securely held by elastic frictional force and can be used safely without falling off. Since the attached device can be easily removed from the holding piece, the used device can be extracted and stored from the holding piece attached to the string after use, so it will not be lost.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the holder of the present invention, such as a thermometer, will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the holder of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged detailed sectional view of the holding piece portion.

In these drawings, a holder 1 for a thermometer is a string 2 (hereinafter referred to as a hanging string) formed in a ring shape with a required length, and a holding piece attached to an end of the hanging string 2. It consists of 3 and.

The hanging string 2 is most preferably made of a strong fiber having a circular cross section, such as a braid, in terms of handling. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and any material formed by sewing cloth cut into a bias and other fibers may be used.

The holding piece 3 attached to the end portion of the hanging string 2 is a flexible material having flexibility and elasticity, for example, soft vinyl chloride resin, silicone rubber, natural rubber, or other soft material. The hanging strap 2 is made of the above-mentioned material and penetrates through a hole provided along the shaft center so that the knot 2a connected at the end of the hanging strap 2 is locked in the hole. Be kicked. Alternatively, the holding piece 3 and the hanging string 2 are integrally fixed (for example, integrally formed when the holding piece is formed). Further, the instrument insertion hole 4 provided at one end of the holding piece 3 is a hole having a size such that the instrument 12 for the purpose of attachment, in this example, the temperature sensing part 11 of the thermometer 10 made of glass and the end 12 opposite thereto can be attached. And formed.

The holder 1 such as a thermometer according to the present invention having such a structure is carried by, for example, an inpatient in a hospital, and a loop-shaped hanging string 2 is suspended from each patient by the neck. Then, the thermometer 10 to be distributed to the patient at the time of temperature measurement is inserted into the instrument insertion hole 4 of the holding piece 3 and the end 12 of the thermometer 10 is inserted and attached to and held by the hanging strap 2, so that the patient's axilla can be subjected to normal temperature sensing. Part 11 is applied and the temperature is measured. Therefore, the length of the hanging strap 2 may be such that it can be hung from the neck and the thermometer 10 can be attached to the instrument insertion hole 4 of the holding piece 3 and then attached to the armpit.

The thermometer 10 which is sandwiched between the armpits for a predetermined time to measure the temperature is attached to and held by the holding piece 3 at the end of the hanging strap 2 even if the thermometer 10 comes off during the temperature measurement. In the instrument insertion hole 4, the glass peripheral surface of the thermometer 10 is held in close contact with the peripheral surface of the hole so that it cannot easily fall out. Therefore, even a physically handicapped patient does not have to accidentally stomp the thermometer 10 dropped in the bedclothes on the bed with his or her own weight, and is safe. Of course, it is easy for a nurse or a healthy attendant to remove the thermometer 10 from the instrument insertion hole 4 of the holding piece 3, and the thermometer 10 can be reliably collected, so that the equipment can be managed easily. In addition, it can be easily confirmed that the thermometer 10 during the temperature measurement is separated from the armpit, and the temperature can be measured again. Furthermore, since the thermometer 10 does not move to another place after the temperature measurement, the temperature of the patient whose temperature has been measured can be accurately recorded without being replaced by another person, and the medical condition can be managed reliably. Become.

Although the above description has been made for the holder of the thermometer, the writing tool of the worker in the working environment where it is necessary to use, for example, both hands instead of the thermometer and to record data etc. from time to time It can also be used when a (pencil, ballpoint pen, etc.) is used instead of the thermometer by holding it in the instrument insertion hole 4 of the holding piece 3 and suspending it. Of course, the device to be hung and held can be arbitrarily selected according to the usage situation, and the shape of the holding piece and the device insertion hole can be appropriately set.
