Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an endoscope case used for storing and transporting an endoscope.

Endoscope cases are used because they can be stored.

As a case for an endoscope of this type, a so-called attache case type case has conventionally been used, as shown in FIG. By storing the endoscope d in a protective member C provided inside and closing the top cover, the endoscope d can be stored or transported.

By the way, when storing the internal regulations kJld using a case, a method is generally adopted in which the cases are stacked and stored because several endoscopes d can be stored in a small storage space.

However, with the above-mentioned attaché case type case, although the case can be stored while being stacked, there is a problem in that the endoscope cannot be taken out or taken out if the case is left unplugged. Therefore, when putting in and taking out the endoscopic DD, separate the case containing the endoscopic AD from its storage location.
In order to open and close the case, it is necessary to move to a place with a large space to put in and take out the case, resulting in the problem of taking up a lot of space. Moreover, by moving the case containing the endoscope, you are forced to leave the endoscope in the case, which comes with a protective part to prevent it from getting damaged. A! The member C has the disadvantage of being extremely unhygienic, as dirt and debris from the endoscope d and washing water adhere to the member C, causing miscellaneous materials to grow.

In order to solve this problem, a locker-type storage case was proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-86093, and other storage-only cases in the shape of a multi-drawer map case were also proposed.

However, purchasing such a case exclusively for Miyuki requires the user to spend a large amount of money since the case exclusively for storage is extremely expensive, and moreover, it is difficult to transport the endoscope while storing it. However, there is a drawback that it is difficult to find a place to put the case that serves both as storage and storage.

This invention was made with a focus on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to be able to store endoscopes hygienically in a small amount of space, and to allow the endoscopes to be taken in and out from the storage location. An object of the present invention is to provide an endoscope case that can be used for both transportation and storage. That is, the present invention constructs a case by constructing a case in which the inner shell, on which the endoscope protection member is detachably provided, can be pulled out into the outer shell. In addition to storing the endoscope, you can use the drawer in the inner box to take it in and take it out from where it is stored.In addition, this drawer eliminates the restrictions that are always attached to the endoscope protection member and saves space. The aim is to achieve the minimum hygienic storage of endoscopes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment of the full shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 2 is the outer box of the endoscope case 1&, and the outer box 1 has a flat box shape, and an inner box insertion hole [L7b] is provided on the right side wall of the figure. The inner box 2 is inserted into and removed from the outer box 1 through this inner box opening 1b. The inner box 2 is made of stainless steel and has a drawer shape.

There is a handle 3 on the outer wall extending from the inner box insertion [1b].
is captured, the outer box 1 is the inner box 2'! It is now possible to withdraw. Therefore, the inner box 2 is provided with the drawer=J dry relative to the outer box 1. In addition, slide type lock fMh members 4.4 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the inner box 2 from which the sweetfish comes out from the inner box divine eye 1b. Furthermore, the inner box shrine opening 1 corresponding to these locking members 4.4
A locking member 5 having a lock hole 5a is provided on both sides of b, and the inner box 2 is separated from the outer box 1 by the locking action of the lock member 4.4 sliding into the lock holes 5m, 5m. It can be locked to prevent it from being accidentally pulled out. Further, in the outer wall surface 4il#14, which is the upper part of the outer box 1 in the drawing, there are provided coupling parts 6 for positioning and fitting, respectively. In addition, fitting protrusions 6b for positioning and fitting are provided at the four corners of the outer wall surface, which is the lower part of the outer case 1, for positioning and fixing when the case is stacked and stored. It is now possible to do so. On the other hand, is 7 in the diagram inside? ! 8 of these are iA canopy protection members! The metal protection part 7 is composed of a thick lower cushion 7a and a thin upper cushion 7b formed of an elastic material such as rubber. Both the lower cushion 7a and the L-portion cushion 7b have sizes corresponding to the dimensions of the inner cavity of the inner box 2, and are removably fitted into the inner box 2. Therefore, the endoscope protection member 7 is removably provided within the interior @A2. An endoscope storage groove 9, which has the external shape of the endoscope Wt, S, is provided on the upper surface of the lower cushion 7a that fits through the opening of the inner box 2. Vision #I
The endoscope 8 is stored in the upper cushion 7b.
By covering the upper side of the endoscope 8, the endoscope 8 can be housed in the endoscope protection member 7.

The endoscope case Jb configured as described above is handled as follows when the endoscope 8 is transported.

That is, the lower cushion 7a is housed in the inner box 2. Then, the endoscope 8 is stored in the endoscope storage groove 9 of the lower cushion 7m, and the upper cushion 7b is covered from above. From this state, insert the inner box 2 into the outer box 1 [
] 1b, and then each locking member 4, 4.
If you lock the inner box 2 and the outer box 11:'! As shown in figure s3, the endoscope #t8 is protected and housed within the endoscope case 1a. Thus, 8 endoscopes are completed. When taking out the endoscope 8, release the lock, pull out the inner box 2 from the outer box 1 to some extent, remove the upper cushion 7b in this state, and take out the endoscope 8 from the endoscope storage groove 9. , the endoscope 8 can be taken out without completely taking out the inner box 2 from the outer box 1. The same thing can be said when storing the endoscope 8 if the lower cushion 7a is stored in the inner box 2 in advance.

Also, when storing the endoscopy Wm8, store the outer box 1 at the l! Swallow the drinking protrusions 6a... and the fitting recesses 6b... of the outer box 1 to be inserted into the inner box 2. Stack the outer boxes 1 in multiple layers. Then, take out the upper and lower cushions fa and 7b from each inner box 2, save one set of upper and lower cushions 7m and 7b, throw away the others, and put sterile gauze ( (not shown) and place the endoscope 8... on top of it.
The endoscope 8... can now be stored.

When taking out or taking out the endoscope 8 from this storage state, the inner box 2 can be pulled out from the outer box 1 by the amount necessary to take out or store the endoscope 8. The endoscope 8 can be taken out or stored as is. Also, when transporting the endoscope 8, if you use the saved pair of L/lower cushions 7m and 7b,
As mentioned earlier, it can be transported.

Further, when disinfecting the inner box 2, it is sufficient to remove the inner box 2 from the outer box 1, take only the inner box 2 to a safe place, and spray alcohol for extinguishing barrels inside the box to set it on fire. Of course, the sterile gauze can also be removed. Also outer box 1
Disinfection is done by wiping with alcohol gauze.

By adopting the endoscope parent case 2 with a drawer structure, the endoscope 8 can be transported and stored in one case without purchasing a separate expensive storage case. At the same time, the endoscope 8 can be taken in and out from the stacked storage state by simply pulling out the inner box 2, which occupies less space for storage. In addition, by adopting the drawer, there is no longer a restriction that the endoscope protection member 7 must always be attached to the endoscope case 2. Therefore, when storing the endoscope, the endoscope protection member 7, which can cause the propagation of germs, is removed. It does not need to be used and is hygienic. Moreover, in storage, only one set of endoscope protection member 7 is required for transportation, so there is an advantage that it does not take up much space.

In addition, if the inner box 2 or the outer box 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment is used as a means to restrict the drawer violet of the inner box 2, troubles such as the inner box 2 being pulled out unnecessarily can be prevented. It is possible to achieve the same ease of use as above.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, sterile gauze was placed inside the inner box 2 during storage, but the h-section cushion 71 may be placed under the sterile gauze to serve as a cushion during storage. In addition,
In this case, since it is unsanitary to use a porous elastic material for the upper cushion 7b, it is important to use a material that can be disinfected, such as silicone rubber.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the $1 embodiment described above, but may be implemented as 42 embodiments shown in FIG.

That is, in the second embodiment, the outer box 1 is configured with an ac-tush type foldable lid 10. By opening and closing the lid 10, the endoscope can be opened and closed.
This makes it much easier to set the endoscope protection member and take the endoscope in and out during transportation. In addition, at this time, when the lid part 10 is removably fixed to the inner surface of the upper cushion lid slo constituting the endoscope protection member using a slit or double-sided adhesive tape, etc. The lid part 10 (-
It would be even more convenient if the upper cushion could be automatically raised accordingly.

In addition, in all of the embodiments described above, the endoscope protection member is made of an elastic material, but it does not necessarily have to be made of an elastic material, and may be made of thin-walled molded resin or the like. It is something.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the endoscope case is constructed by providing the inner box with respect to the outer box so that it can be drawn out, and the endoscope protection member is detachably arranged inside the inner box. You can transport the endoscope in the endoscope case itself, stack the cases and store them, and also take them in and out from the storage location by pulling out the inner box drawer, without purchasing a dedicated storage case. 3, and occupies less space. Moreover, by removing ° → I, there are no additional restrictions on endoscope protection members, and there is no need to use endoscope protection members, which can cause unsanitary conditions.
