Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to a corrugated cardboard waste and medical waste container as a trash can, which is suitable for preventing danger from used needles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In medical institutions, waste used for treatment and diagnosis is thrown into a trash box and incinerated, but the injection needle mixed in the trash may pierce the garbage handler. Therefore, particularly in corrugated cardboard waste and medical waste containers, measures are taken to prevent the injection needle from sticking out.

This type of container made of corrugated cardboard has the advantage that it can be folded and handled until it is used and that it can be incinerated as it is with waste, so it is superior to metal containers. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has conducted diligent research so far on safety measures for injection needles, and has developed a container for waste and medical waste containing a protective bag such as a rigid plastic sheet inside a cardboard box. It has been provided and has been well received by users.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention analyzes the dangers from all angles for the corrugated cardboard waste and medical waste containers as a complete measure as described above.
It is a development of safety. That is, in the medical field, since the injection needle may be roughly thrown, the force of the drop may cause the injection needle to penetrate through the bottom of the container.

[0005] When transporting a container filled with medical waste, its danger is well known at present, and therefore it should be handled with caution and, in combination with the above-mentioned measures, Although the injection needle does not penetrate to the outside, when the injection needle has already come out and is exposed to the outside, it is poor in sight and there is a high risk of contact.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a waste and medical waste container in which even if an injection needle is roughly thrown in a medical field, it cannot be pushed out.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a lower end of an inner box fixed to the outer box, and an upper bottom to a lower bottom provided in the outer box from at least one wall. The waste and medical waste containers were constructed such that they were connected in series and the upper bottom was bent to form a space between the lower bottom and the bottom.

At the upper end of the outer box, a top wall having an opening for opening is continuously provided from the front wall, and a barrier is formed around the top wall, with a rear wall and left and right side walls standing upright. In the barrier, the upper edges of the left and right side walls are formed so as to be inclined from the upper end of the rear wall to the lower end of the front wall,
A triangular connecting piece having both sides of the side wall of the upper surface wall and the upper end of the side wall may be provided, and the connecting piece may be provided with a bisected mountain ridge line between both sides thereof.

An opening / closing lid formed by cutting out a charging opening on the rear wall may be formed on the rear wall of the barrier so as to be reversible, and a notch may be provided on the rear wall so that the front end of the opening / closing lid can be hooked.

A protective bag is interposed between the outer box and the inner box, and the outer box and the inner box can be folded flatly, and a pair of vertical fold lines are provided at the apex position in the middle of the width of the upper bottom. May be formed.

[0011]

[Operation] Since the waste and medical waste containers are configured as described above, even if the injection needle thrown from the input port falls with the needle down, it is protected by the inner box and the upper bottom of the lower end
It is easy to exert elasticity due to the bending repulsive force of the two-fold rib attached to it, and because it is a sloped roof shape that is easy to escape the force, even if you pierce it without sticking the needle to the upper bottom of the lower end, Due to the gap between it and the bottom, it never penetrates outside.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

The drawings show an embodiment, in which the container for waste and medical waste is composed of an outer box 1, an inner box 2 and a protective bag 3 sandwiched therebetween, and mainly The upper bottom 5 constituted by the inner box 2 has structural features.

The outer box 1 is assembled from a piece of corrugated cardboard into a shape that can be said to be an armchair shape (see FIG. 1), and its periphery is a rectangular tubular shape composed of front and rear walls 7, 8 and left and right side walls 9, 9. No. 60 is an assembling form, and 60 is a glue margin for the assembling (FIG. 4). At the upper end, a waste inlet 10 is provided in the center of the upper wall 13, and the upper wall 13 is surrounded by the rear wall 8 on the rear end side and barriers 11 on both left and right sides. Further, the upper surface wall 13 is connected to the front surface wall 7 so as to be openable and closable, and when the upper surface wall 13 and the bottom are opened (see FIG. 2), they are opened to the left and right (in the P and P directions). Fold lines 15, 15 are formed on the left and right side walls 9, 9 so as to be foldable and extend to other locations along the width center.

Regarding the barrier 11, the rear wall 8 stands up like a backrest, the left and right side walls 9, 9 stand up like an armrest, and the upper edge of the barrier 11 extends from the upper end of the rear wall 8 to the upper end of the front wall 7. It has a sloping shape, and is formed in an arc in the upper half part of the polygonal line 15. Further, between the inclined edge of the lower half part and the side edge of the upper surface wall 13, a triangular connecting piece 14 having two edges on both sides is continuously provided. Therefore, the connecting piece 14 stably supports the upper surface wall 13 on the left and right side walls 9 and 9 so as to resist opening and closing and not to lower when closed. However, since the connecting piece 14 is formed with a bisectoral mountain fold line 16 between its two sides, the connecting piece 14 is once mountain-folded by the mountain fold line 16 due to the opening / closing operation of the upper wall 13. It can be opened and closed with a light manual operation.

In the upper wall 13, the rear wall 8 and the inner box 2
Insertion piece 18 between and is formed at the tip. Further, the input port 10 in the central portion is cut out into an incomplete circle slightly larger than a semicircle, and the cutout is formed as the opening / closing lid 17. In addition, a push piece 19 protruding from the center of the width of the opening / closing lid 17 is cut out at the rear end portion which is not completed, and when pushed, the left and right sides of the push piece 19 are opened and closed as hinges 21 and 21. The lid 17 is designed to open.

Since a cut 23 is formed laterally in the standing portion of the upper end of the rear wall 8 at the position where the tip of the opening / closing lid 17 hits, when the opening / closing lid 17 is opened and pressed against the rear surface wall 8, the cut is formed. The front end of the opening / closing lid 17 bites into the opening 23 to be locked, and the open state is held by this (see FIGS. 1 and 3). Moreover, in this state, the opening / closing lid 1
Since 7 is inclined to the input port 10, it can be received and guided to the input port 10 at the time of inputting the filth, which makes it easy to input the waste. Further, a dent 25 is formed below the notch 23 so as to easily bite the opening / closing lid 17. The rear wall 8 is further provided with a reinforcing piece 61 which is folded back inward as a rib and is continuously provided on the upper end thereof, and a double-sided adhesive tape 62 for holding a double-fold is adhered thereto.

At the lower end of the outer box 1, a lower bottom 63 below the upper bottom 5 is connected to the front wall 7, and the left and right side walls 9,
Inner flaps 27, 27 are arranged in series at 9. Then, in order to hook the lower bottom 63, as shown in FIG. 2, a folding piece 29 to be inserted into the inside of the rear wall 8 is continuously provided at its tip, and a hooking piece 31 is provided at the lower end of the rear wall 8. Projected, bottom bottom 63
The insertion 33 is opened at the folding point of the folding piece 29. The hooking piece 31 can be inserted into the insertion piece 33,
The notch is formed to be longer than the protruding portion, and can be bent at the lower edge of the rear wall 8.

As a material for the inner box 2, a rigid cardboard which is hard to pass a needle and whose inner surface is laminated with plastic is used. The box shape is a rectangular tube shape in which the front inner wall 37, the rear inner wall 38, and the left and right side inner walls 39, 39 are arranged side by side like the outer case 1, and the left and right side inner walls 39, 39 are folded at the same time as the outer case 1. Polygonal lines 41, 41 are formed in the center of the width to extend to other places as much as possible. The glue allowance 40 and the glue allowance 60 of the outer box 1 are exchanged in position and assembled.

The upper bottom 5 of the inner box 2 is a front inner wall 3
7, flaps 5a and 5b are connected to the inner wall 38 of the rear surface,
Each of them is formed to have a size slightly larger than the half width of the side wall 39, and both flaps 5a and 5b are joined at their tips to form a roof. A bending protrusion 64 is continuously provided on one flap 5a, and is fixed to the other flap 5b with an adhesive tape 43. However, for example, connecting means capable of holding the roof shape such as a zigzag mating shape may be used. Further, as another example, an integral upper bottom that is bent in a roof shape may be continuously provided from either one of the front inner wall 37 and the rear inner wall 38.

Next, one of the flaps 5b is provided with a rib 46, which is slightly inverted and bent into two folds, in a row.
The ribs 46 support the load of the contents due to the strong repulsive force associated with bending. Further, in order to maintain the folded shape of the rib 46 and to increase the elastic supporting force of the load, the cushion material 6 made of a plastic foam material is provided inside the bend.
It is installed so as to hold 5, and it is fixed by double-sided adhesive tape. In addition, since the apexes 12 of the flaps 5a and 5b facing each other coincide with the positions of the fold lines 15 and 15, they can be folded as they are.

At the bottom of the inner box 2, triangular pieces 47, 47 are further provided continuously from the inner walls 39, 39 on the left and right sides, and the triangles form the apexes of the folding lines 41, 41 for folding (see FIG. 5). ). In addition, at the upper end of the rear inner wall 38,
A refraction piece 49 that is folded inward is continuously provided. This facilitates insertion of the insertion piece 18 at the tip of the upper wall 13, and also serves as a reinforcement for receiving the upper wall 13.

The protective bag 3 is made of a tube of a polyvinyl chloride resin film having rigidity, and is a so-called envelope shape in which the lower end is flatly sealed. At the upper end, the outer box 1 and the inner box 2 are provided. It is sandwiched between and, and is adhered to the three in one on the front and back sides. In addition, at the lower end of the protective bag 3, the seal portion 51 hangs over the apexes of the triangular pieces 47, 47 at both ends. Further, since the inner box 2 has a size just accommodated therein, when the triangular pieces 47, 47 are opened (see FIG. 2),
As a result of the tension between the front and rear widths of the inner box 2, the lowering of the upper bottom 5 is prevented there. However, there is a surplus on both ends,
Therefore, since the triangular pieces 47, 47 are covered like a hat, the triangular pieces 47, 47 can be properly folded together.

[0024]

As described above, the waste and medical waste container of the present invention has the following excellent effects.

Not only is the inner box protected so that the injection needle does not stick out, but even if the injection needle is violently thrown from the insertion port, the upper base that receives it is elastic. Since it has a sloped roof shape that is easy to exert and allows the force to escape easily, even if it pierces it, there is a gap between it and the needle even if it is pierced. There is no such thing, and it is possible to reliably ensure the safety of the operator who handles the waste including the injection needle.

When a barrier is formed around the upper wall by the rear wall and the left and right side walls standing up (claim 2), the barrier prevents the inconvenience of waste being scattered, and the connecting piece The open / closed state of the upper wall is stably maintained. Even if the connecting piece is continuous between the top wall and the side wall, the top wall can be opened and closed easily because the top wall is opened and closed by bending at the mountain fold line.

When the rear wall is provided with a notch for catching the tip of the opening / closing lid of the input port (claim 3), the operation of opening the opening / closing lid at the time of inputting the waste can be omitted, and it can receive the waste. Since it is poured in as a waste, it is extremely easy to dump the waste.

When a protective bag is interposed between the outer box and the inner box (Claim 4), the danger of the needle sticking out and the leakage of juice can be effectively prevented by this as well, and there is an upper bottom. However, due to the positional relationship between the apex and the pair of folding lines, folding is possible, and transportation and storage can be conveniently performed.
