Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a storage device that is capable of storing hand towels for wiping hands after washing before surgery in a sterile state and in a ready-to-remove state at a hospital.

Traditionally, hand towels used in hospitals to dry hands after washing before surgery have been sterilized and stored in a metal container for sterile storage, or placed in a sterile bag and sterilized. After sterilization, they were stored as-is, or after sterilization, they were folded into surgical gowns that had also been sterilized and stored in sterile conditions.

When using the hand towels, for example, if they were stored in a metal container for sterile storage, the user would press a lever with their foot to open the lid, then use forceps to remove it. Contaminated air had flowed into the metal container for hand towels, contaminating the hand towels. (Although the place where such work is performed is generally kept sterile, it is not completely sterile.) It is.

). This not only made it difficult to maintain complete sterility, but also made it troublesome to take out.

Also, if the hand towels are stored in a sterilized bag, each towel must be cut with scissors to remove it, but this process is not only troublesome, but the moment the bag is opened, it is contaminated with contaminated air. The same thing happened.

Similarly, when it is stored inside a surgical gown, not only is it troublesome to take it out, but there is also the risk of it being contaminated by contaminated air.

The object of this invention is to provide a storage device that stores hand towels in a sterile state and allows them to be taken out easily while still being kept in a sterile state.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of one embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line -■ in FIG. 1.

This storage device is used by attaching it to a wall or hanging it on a special stand.

The main body has a box shape consisting of a rear plate 1, a top plate 2, a front plate 3, and both side plates 4, and has an opening 5 at the lower front part.

The front plate 3 and both side plates 4 are integrated and can be removed forward.

An opening 6 is provided in the upper plate 2 by making a slightly larger hole.

A pre-filter 7 is detachably attached above the opening 6.

A blower 8 is attached below the opening 6.

A mounting plate 9 is placed below the top plate 2 while moving it toward the front plate 3.
is installed vertically, and the frame plate 1 is opened from the middle of the mounting plate 9 all the way around the both side plates 4 and the rear plate 1.
0 is installed.

The filter 11 is applied from below the frame plate 10, and the perforated plate 12 attached to the rear plate 1 is applied below the filter 11 so as to be able to rotate up and down using the rear as a fulcrum.
The filter 11 is fixed by fixing the front end of the filter 2 to the lower end of the mounting plate 9 with a fixing metal fitting 13.

An inclined plate 14 is installed between both side plates 4 at a position below the perforated plate 12 while being inclined slightly forward.

A hole ring 16 is attached to the rear plate 1 at a position below the inclined plate 14 via a mounting body 15.

Hole Goo 16 is almost box-shaped and is installed at a slight angle.

The structure of the hole goo 16 is shown in some detail in FIG. 3, and a lid 17 is attached to the top surface of the hole goo 16, and the lid 17 can be opened by rotating upward.

Then, when rotating M17 downward and closing it,
An opening 18 is formed diagonally downward on the front surface of the hole goo 16.

A separate storage box 19 can be stored inside the whole goo 16, but there are many hand towels 2 inside the storage box 19.
0 are folded and stored one on top of the other.

The hand towel 20 is made of woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, paper, or the like.

A long horizontal slit is made in the front of the storage box 19, and the hand towels 20 are taken out one by one from the slit.

Make vertical cuts at both ends of the slit,
The resistance when taking out the hand towel 20 is made small.

Two protrusions 21 are formed on the upper half of the central part of the slit, and one protrusion 22 is formed on the lower half, and the hand towel 20 is made to stand up by these protrusions 21 and 22. The hand towel 20 is designed to be easy to take out.

An inclined plate 23 is placed below the mounting body 15 of the hole goo 16.
It is installed by tilting it forward.

The items shown above are used as follows.

While turning on the motor and operating the blower 8, the storage box 19 containing hand towels 20 that have been sterilized in advance is put into the hole goo 16.

After the air is primarily filtered by the pre-filter 7, it passes through the opening 6, passes through the blower 8, is fully filtered by the filter 11, becomes sterile, passes through the perforated plate 12, and enters the inclined plate 14 below. The clean air that is split in front of the waist flows through the front side of the hall goo 16, and the clean air that is divided at the rear hits the inclined plate 23 from the back of the hall goo 16 and circulates below the hall goo 16. It flows out.

In other words, clean air always flows around the hole goo 16, keeping the area around the hole goo 16 in a sterile state.

When the patient wants to wipe his hands after washing his hands before surgery, he takes out the hand towels 20 one by one from the slits in the storage box 19 fitted in the hole goo 16 and wipes his hands.

Since the area around the hole goo 16 is always maintained in a sterile state, the hand towel 20 is always in a sterile state.

It goes without saying that the blower 8 is always operated while there is no hand towel 20 in the halter 16.

Although the blower 8 is shown as being attached inside the main body, the blower 8 may be attached outside the main body.

Further, the method of storing the hand towel 20 in the main body is arbitrary, and it is not necessarily necessary to use the halter 16 or the storage box 19.

As is clear from the above, in the storage device according to this invention, the air that flows in from one opening 6 by the blower 8 is converted into clean air by the filter 11, and the hand towels stored in the downstream side of the filter 11 in the main body are cleaned. It flows out from the other opening 5 while passing around the area 20 and making the surrounding area a sterile environment.

Therefore, while the blower 8 is operating, the area around the hand towel 20 is always kept in a sterile environment, which is effective in maintaining a sterile state, and the hand towel 20 can also be easily taken out from the opening 5 of the main body when necessary. I can do it.
