Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a storage device capable of storing hand towels for wiping hands after washing before surgery in a sterile state and in a state where they can be taken out immediately.

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, you would have to press a lever with your foot to open the lid and pinch it with forceps to take it out. Contaminated air entered the container and contaminated the hand towels (although the area where this kind of work is done is generally kept sterile, it is still not completely sterile. It is.

). This not only made it difficult to maintain a completely sterile state, but also made it troublesome to remove.

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 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 10 is open from the middle of the mounting plate 9 to the both side plates 4 and the rear plate 1 all around.
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.

The holder 15 is detachably and rotatably attached below the inclined plate 14, and the attachment mechanism will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, a cylindrical supporting metal fitting 16 is fixed to the rear plate 1, and a long slit and a short slit are formed in the upper plate of the supporting metal fitting 16 so as to cross each other in a cross shape while being slightly inclined.

Further, a locking metal fitting 17 is fixed to the rear plate 1 at a slight distance from the supporting metal fitting 16.

The holder 15 has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a hollow box inside, and has a support rod 18 protruding from the center of the rear ridgeline.

A support piece 19 is attached at right angles to the tip of the support rod 18.

If the holder 15 is rotated after the support piece 19 is inserted into the cross-shaped hole of the support fitting 16, the holder 15 will no longer come off.

A locking piece 20 is attached to the rear ridgeline of the holder 15 at a slight distance from the support rod 18.
When the holder 15 is rotated to a horizontal position, the locking piece 20 is locked to a locking metal fitting 17 attached to the rear plate 1, thereby holding the holder 15 in a horizontal position. There is.

FIG. 4 shows the state in which it is held horizontally.

As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the holder 15 is supported by a support rod 18 fixed to the rear ridgeline, so that the holder 15 is supported while tilting slightly forward.

An opening 21 is provided toward the lower front surface.

The sides are also opened to form an entrance/exit 22 through which a separate storage box 23 can be inserted or taken out.

A peephole 24 is provided in the upper surface of the holder 15.

The storage box 23 has a box-shaped structure as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. tongue piece 2
5,25 is installed.

Vertical cuts are made at both ends of the slit.

The tongues 25, 25 are made of plastic sheets and coated with an antistatic agent.

A peephole 26 is provided at one location on the top surface.

Inside the storage box 23, a large number of hand towels 27 are folded and stored one on top of the other.

The hand towel 27 is made of woven fabric, non-woven fabric 9 paper, etc.

Note that a take-out piece 28 for taking out the first selvage of the hand towel 27 is placed on the frontmost side.

Further, at the end of the folded and stacked hand towels 27, a plate-shaped weight plate 29 is stacked.

The inclined plate 3 is located below the position where the holder 15 is installed.
0 is installed while tilting it forward.

The items shown above are used as follows.

When you turn on the motor and operate the blower 8,
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. It hits and disperses to the front and back,
The clean air divided in the front flows in the front side of the holder 15, and the clean air divided in the rear hits the inclined plate 30 from the rear of the holder 15, turns to the lower part of the holder 15, and flows out.

That is, clean air always flows around the holder 15, keeping the area around the holder 15 in a sterile state.

To put the storage box 23 containing the sterilized hand towels 27 into the hole goo 15, keep the area around the holder 15 aseptic while keeping the blower 8 running, as shown in FIG. The storage box 23 is inserted through the entrance 22 with the holder 15 oriented vertically.

At this time, the peephole 26 of the storage box 23 is aligned with the peephole 24 of the holder 15.

Then, when the holder 15 is rotated and the locking piece 20 is locked with the locking metal fitting 17 and supported in a horizontal state, the storage box 2
Set 3 is completed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the tip of the take-out piece 28 protrudes from the slit on the front side of the storage box 23. When the take-out piece 28 is pulled out, the tip of the first hand towel 27 protrudes. At the same time, the tongues 25, 25 are also protruding from each other and sandwiching the tip of the hand towel 27 in an upright position (see FIG. 7).

When the patient wants to wipe his hands after washing his hands before surgery, he takes out the hand towels 27 one by one from the slits in the storage box 23 fitted inside the hole goo 15 and wipes his hands.

The purpose of making vertical cuts at both ends of the slit is to reduce the resistance when taking out the hand towel 27.

The reason why the weight plate 29 is placed inside the storage box 23 is to press the stacked hand towels 27 against the slit side, thereby making it easier to take out the hand towels 27.

The tongue pieces 25 and 25 are provided on both sides of the slit so that the tip of the hand towel 27 can stand up to make it easier to take out, and also to prevent drops, etc. that are scattered when wiping your hands with the hand towel 27 from entering the storage box 23. This is to ensure that there is no such thing.

Furthermore, the reason why the tongue pieces 25.25 are coated with an antistatic agent is to prevent the tongue pieces 25.25 from attracting surrounding dust due to being electrically charged.

The peep hole 24 was made in the hole goo 15 and the peep hole 26 was made in the storage box 23 because the hand towel 27 inside the storage box 23
This is to make it possible to see the remaining amount from the outside.

When all the hand towels 27 in the storage box 23 are used up, the whole goo 15 is rotated vertically while the blower 8 is running, the storage box 23 is taken out from the entrance 22, and a new storage box 23 is inserted. .

Furthermore, if you want to clean the hole goo 15, you can remove the hole goo 15 by rotating the hole goo 15 beyond the vertical position and placing the support piece 19 of the support rod 18 in a position that matches the long slit of the support fitting 16.

In this way, the area around the hole goo 15 is always maintained in a sterile state, so the hand towel 27 is always in a sterile state.

It goes without saying that the blower 8 is always operated while the hand towel 27 is in the hole goo 15.

Although one embodiment of this invention has been shown above, the embodiment of this invention is not limited to the above.

For example, although the blower 8 is shown installed inside the main body,
The blower 8 may be attached outside the main body.

Furthermore, the hand towel 27 can be stored in any manner within the main body, and it is not necessarily necessary to use the whole goo 15 or the storage box 23.

In addition to the filter 11, a germicidal lamp can also be used.

Alternatively, it is also possible to use only the germicidal lamp without using the filter 11.

Alternatively, without even using the blower 8, the hand towels 27 can be taken out one by one in an environment where the hand towels 27 are stored and the storage box 23 and the like are sterilized with a germicidal lamp.

Other design changes are possible in various places.

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. 27 and flows out from the other opening 5 while making the surrounding area a sterile environment.

Therefore, while the blower 8 is operating, the area around the hand towel 27 is always kept in a sterile environment, which is effective in maintaining a sterile state, and when necessary, the hand towel 27 can be easily taken out from the opening 5 of the main body. I can do it.
