Description

DISPOSITIF DE SUPPORT ET MAINTIEN D'OBJETS NOTAMMENT DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING AND HOLDING OBJECTS IN PARTICULAR
D'OUTILS OU INSTRUMENTS DESTINES A ETRE STERILISES DANS DESTOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS FOR STERILIZATION IN
PANIERS, BACS, BOITES OU ANALOGUES DE RANGEMENT/TRANSPORTSTORAGE / TRANSPORT BASKETS, BINS, BOXES OR THE LIKE
La présente invention a trait notamment à la stérilisation d'outils, instruments ou objets à usage médical tels que broches, forets, etc..The present invention relates in particular to the sterilization of tools, instruments or objects for medical use such as pins, drills, etc.
Ces objets sont habituellement stockés, transportés et stérilisés en étant rassemblés dans des paniers, bacs ou boîtes de rangement susceptibles de subir la stérilisation en même temps que les objets qu'ils contiennent.These objects are usually stored, transported and sterilized by being collected in baskets, bins or storage boxes likely to undergo sterilization at the same time as the objects they contain.
A cet effet, lesdits bacs ou boîtes sont constitués par exemple d'un panier en tôle perforée en acier inoxydable. Les objets étant disposés dans ces paniers sans être maintenus en place sont susceptibles de se déplacer, de s'entrechoquer et de heurter les parois lors du transport des bacs ou boîtes ou de leur retournement éventuel, accidentel ou non. De plus, ces chocs sont de nature à user, voire endommager les objets. Enfin, le libre déplacement des objets provoque des désordres qui ne facilitent pas la manipulation des objets.To this end, said trays or boxes consist for example of a basket made of perforated sheet steel. The objects being placed in these baskets without being held in place are liable to move, collide and strike the walls during the transport of the trays or boxes or their possible overturning, accidental or not. In addition, these shocks are likely to wear or even damage objects. Finally, the free movement of objects causes disorders which do not facilitate the manipulation of objects.
La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une structure de support et maintien en place dans leurs bacs ou boîtes de rangement/transport desdits objets destinés à une stérilisation dans leurs bacs ou boîtes.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a support structure and holding in place in their trays or boxes for storage / transport of said objects intended for sterilization in their trays or boxes.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de support et maintien d'objets notamment d'outils ou instruments destinés à être stérilisés dans des paniers, bacs, boîtes ou analogues de rangement, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué de pièces en matériau supportant les températures de stérilisation, susceptibles d'être fixées de manière amovible aux endroits désirés de la paroi du panier ou analogue et présentant chacune au moins une zone d'introduction d'une partie des objets à maintenir, ladite zone étant munie d'une partie en un matériau élastique résistant aux températures de stérilisation, agencée en sorte de coincer et maintenir élastiquement ladite partie d'objet.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for supporting and holding objects, in particular tools or instruments intended to be sterilized in baskets, trays, boxes or the like for storage, characterized in that that it consists of pieces of material withstanding the sterilization temperatures, capable of being detachably fixed at the desired locations on the wall of the basket or the like and each having at least one zone for introducing part of the objects to maintain, said area being provided with a portion of an elastic material resistant to sterilization temperatures, arranged so as to wedge and resiliently hold said object portion.
De préférence, lesdites pièces sont réalisées en polytetrafluoroethylene et les parties en matériau élastique sont à base de silicone, et sont agencées pour entourer totalement ou partiellement la partie de l'objet à coincer élastiquement.Preferably, said parts are made of polytetrafluoroethylene and the parts of elastic material are based on silicone, and are arranged to completely or partially surround the part of the object to be resiliently wedged.
Avantageusement, une même pièce peut comporter une série de logements de réception d'une batterie d'objets identiques ou non, en sorte de former un râtelier par exemple.Advantageously, the same room can include a series of housings for receiving a battery of identical or different objects, so as to form a rack for example.
Les matériaux des pièces et des éléments de coincement des objets présentent les qualités requises, à savoir rigidité pour les premières et élasticité pour les seconds, et les conservent pendant la stérilisation tout en étant capables de subir sans dommage de nombreux cycles de stérilisation. Le dispositif de l'invention évite également l'usure des objets notamment par frottement de ceux-ci sur la paroi du panier ou analogue lors de leur transport. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui va suivre de modes de réalisation du dispositif de l'invention, description donnée à titre d'exemple uniquement et en regard du dessin annexé sur lequel : -, Figure 1 est une vue en élévation frontale d'un dispositif selon l'invention, suivant un premier mode de mise en oeuvre ;The materials of the parts and of the wedging elements of the objects have the requisite qualities, namely rigidity for the former and elasticity for the latter, and preserve them during sterilization while being able to undergo without damage numerous sterilization cycles. The device of the invention also prevents wear of the objects, in particular by rubbing them on the wall of the basket or the like during their transport. Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the following description of embodiments of the device of the invention, description given by way of example only and with reference to the appended drawing in which: -, Figure 1 is an elevation view front of a device according to the invention, according to a first mode of implementation;

Figure 8 est une vue similaire à la figure 7 d'encore un autre mode de réalisation. Le dispositif des figures 1 à 3 est constitué d'une sorte de chevalet 1 en forme de U réalisé en un matériau rigide résistant aux températures de stérilisation, tel que du polytetrafluoroethylene par exemple. La pièce 1 est munie de moyens (non représentés) de fixation amovible en tout endroit désiré, notamment d'un bac ou boîte traditionnel de rangement d'objets à usage médical, tels que broches, forets, etc..., appelés à subir de manière répétée une stérilisation. Une telle boîte est constituée habituellement par un panier en tôle d'acier inoxydable perforée.Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 7 of yet another embodiment. The device of FIGS. 1 to 3 consists of a kind of U-shaped easel 1 made of a rigid material resistant to sterilization temperatures, such as polytetrafluoroethylene for example. The part 1 is provided with means (not shown) for removable fixing in any desired location, in particular a tray or traditional box for storing objects for medical use, such as pins, drills, etc., which are called upon to undergo repeatedly sterilization. Such a box usually consists of a basket made of perforated stainless steel sheet.
Dans le fond ou l'une des parois latérales d'un tel panier, une telle paroi étant représentée en 2 sur la figure 5, peut être fixée, à tout endroit désiré, la pièce 1, entre les deux branches la et lb de laquelle est reçue une partie d'un objet, une broche symbolisée en 3 par exemple, coincée élastiquement entre deux éléments 4 disposés dans les faces en regard desdites branches la, lb. Les éléments 4 sont deux pions cylindriques en un matériau élastique résistant aux températures de stérilisation, par exemple un matériau siliconé, inséré dans des logements cylindriques appropriés 5 ménagés dans la pièce 1. Les pions 4 font légèrement saillie vers l'intérieur sur les faces en regard des branches la, lb et leur écartement est légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la broche 3.In the bottom or one of the side walls of such a basket, such a wall being shown at 2 in FIG. 5, can be fixed, at any desired location, the part 1, between the two arms 1a and 1b of which part of an object is received, a pin symbolized at 3 for example, elastically wedged between two elements 4 arranged in the facing faces of said branches 1a, 1b. The elements 4 are two cylindrical pins of an elastic material resistant to sterilization temperatures, for example a silicone material, inserted in suitable cylindrical housings 5 provided in the part 1. The pins 4 protrude slightly inwards on the faces in look of the branches la, lb and their spacing is slightly less than the diameter of the spindle 3.
De préférence, des inserts métalliques d'ancrage (symbolisés en I sur les figures 1 et 2) sont prévus aux extrémités internes des pions 4 pour assurer leur fixation et leur retenue dans leur logement.Preferably, metal anchoring inserts (symbolized at I in FIGS. 1 and 2) are provided at the internal ends of the pins 4 to ensure their fixing and their retention in their housing.
Des pièces 1 de différents écartements entre pions 4 sont bien entendu prévues en fonction des différents diamètres ou dimensions d'objets ou de partie d'objet à recevoir entre les branches du U. Une même pièce 1 peut comporter plusieurs logements en U pour recevoir à la manière d'un râtelier plusieurs objets en batterie, identiques ou non.Parts 1 of different spacings between pins 4 are of course provided as a function of the different diameters or dimensions of objects or part of objects to be received between the branches of the U. The same room 1 may include several U-shaped housings to receive, like a rack, several objects in battery, identical or not.
Un même objet peut être maintenu par plusieurs pièces 1. Les formes et dimensions de la pièce 1 et de ses branches la, lb peuvent évidemment varier dans de larges mesures en fonction de la morphologie du ou des outils, instruments et analogues à recevoir et du panier récepteur.The same object can be maintained by several parts 1. The shapes and dimensions of the part 1 and its branches la, lb can obviously vary within wide limits depending on the morphology of the tool or tools, instruments and the like to be received and the receiver basket.
Un seul pion 4 peut être prévu dans l'une des faces des branches la, lb.A single pin 4 can be provided in one of the faces of the branches 1a, 1b.
Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent un autre mode de réalisation, plus particulièrement destiné au blocage de forets 6 par exemple disposés verticalement, parallèlement à la paroi 2 du panier. En 7, est représentée une barrette parallélépipédique, par exemple dans le même matériau que la pièce 1, percée de trous 8 identiques ou non, de diamètre sensiblement supérieur à celui des forets 6 à recevoir.Figures 4 and 5 illustrate another embodiment, more particularly intended for blocking drills 6 for example arranged vertically, parallel to the wall 2 of the basket. In 7, a parallelepiped bar is shown, for example in the same material as the part 1, pierced with holes 8 identical or not, of diameter substantially greater than that of the drills 6 to be received.
La barrette 7 est fixée de manière amovible sur la paroi ajourée 2 à l'endroit désiré à l'aide par exemple de vis (non représentées) engagées dans un trou de la paroi 2 ainsi que dans un logement borgne taraudé 8 ménagé dans la barrette à ses deux extrémités.The bar 7 is removably fixed to the perforated wall 2 at the desired location using, for example, screws (not shown) engaged in a hole in the wall 2 as well as in a tapped blind housing 8 formed in the bar. at both ends.
En outre, une rainure étroite 10 est ménagée sur la tranche de la barrette 7, orthogonalement aux axes des trous 8, dans laquelle est logée une bande 11, par exemple du même matériau que les pions 4.In addition, a narrow groove 10 is formed on the edge of the bar 7, orthogonally to the axes of the holes 8, in which is housed a strip 11, for example of the same material as the pins 4.
Dans la bande 11 en place sont prévus, en regard des trous 8 de la barrette, des trous 12 de diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui des forets 6 à recevoir.In the strip 11 in place are provided, opposite the holes 8 of the bar, holes 12 of diameter slightly smaller than that of the drills 6 to be received.
La bande 11 est retenue prisonnière dans sa rainure 10 et assure le coincement élastique de tout foret 6 introduit dans l'un des trous 8, l'extrémité inférieure des forets venant de préférence en butée contre une barrette d'appui 13 rapportée sur la paroi 2 en parallèle avec la barrette 7.The strip 11 is held captive in its groove 10 and ensures the elastic wedging of any drill 6 introduced into one of the holes 8, the lower end of the drills preferably coming into abutment against a support bar 13 attached to the wall 2 in parallel with the bar 7.
La figure 6 est une variante du dispositif de la figure 4 dans laquelle la bande 11 est remplacée par un cordon cylindrique 14 disposé parallèlement au bord de la barrette 7' et reçu dans une saignée 15 à fond arrondi débouchant dans les trous 8' (de même diamètre) . Le fond arrondi définit un orifice de communication entre la saignéeFigure 6 is a variant of the device of Figure 4 in which the strip 11 is replaced by a cylindrical bead 14 disposed parallel to the edge of the bar 7 'and received in a groove 15 with a rounded bottom opening into the holes 8' (of same diameter). The bottom rounded defines a communication orifice between the groove
15 et les trous 8' suffisante pour le passage partiel du cordon 14 qui fait ainsi saillie dans les trous 8' tout en étant retenu prisonnier dans la saignée 15. Le cordon 14 assure le coincement élastique des forets 6 dans les trous 8' .15 and the holes 8 'sufficient for the partial passage of the cord 14 which thus projects into the holes 8' while being held captive in the groove 15. The cord 14 ensures the elastic wedging of the drills 6 in the holes 8 '.
Bien entendu, la pièce 7 ou 7' peut ne comporter qu'un seul trou dont les formes et dimensions, de même que celles du passage correspondant ménagé dans la bande 11 et que les formes, dimensions et agencements du cordon 14, peuvent varier en fonction de la morphologie des parties d'instruments, outils ou autres reçues dans ledit trou.Of course, the part 7 or 7 ′ may have only one hole, the shapes and dimensions of which, as well as those of the corresponding passage formed in the strip 11 and that the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the cord 14, can vary in function of the morphology of the parts of instruments, tools or the like received in said hole.
D'une manière générale, la barrette 7 ou 7' comporte un ou plusieurs trous (8,8') dans chacun desquels fait saillie une partie (11,14) en matériau élastique, en sorte de retenir coincé un objet ou une partie d'objet (6) engagé dans lesdits trous (8,8') .In general, the bar 7 or 7 'has one or more holes (8.8') in each of which protrudes a part (11,14) of elastic material, so as to retain an object or part of it stuck. 'object (6) engaged in said holes (8,8').
Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent d'autres variantes de réalisation. Sur la figure 7, on a représenté en l' une pièce analogue à la pièce 1 des figures 1 à 3 et recevant une broche 3' entre la face interne de l'une des branches lb' et un pion cylindrique 16 reçu dans un logement ménagé dans l'autre branche (la') du chevalet l' en sorte qu'une partie du pion 16 fasse légèrement saillie dans l'intervalle entre branches la' , lb' . Le pion 16 est par exemple en silicone ou analogue et est de préférence maintenu dans son logement par un insert métallique I' disposé coaxialement au pion et dont une extrémité dépasse le pion et pénètre dans un trou borgne ménagé à cet effet dans le fond du logement du pion, dans la branche la' .Figures 7 and 8 illustrate other alternative embodiments. In Figure 7, there is shown in one piece similar to the piece 1 of Figures 1 to 3 and receiving a pin 3 'between the inner face of one of the branches lb' and a cylindrical pin 16 received in a housing formed in the other branch (la ') of the bridge l' so that part of the pin 16 protrudes slightly in the interval between branches la ', lb'. The pin 16 is for example made of silicone or the like and is preferably held in its housing by a metal insert I 'arranged coaxially with the pin and one end of which exceeds the pin and enters a blind hole made for this purpose in the bottom of the housing. of the pawn, in the branch '.
Conformément à l'invention, la partie du pion 16 faisant saillie dans l'intervalle entre branches la', lb' est évidée en 17 dans sa zone centrale en sorte de ménager à la broche 3' un espace permettant à cette dernière un certain jeu ou débattement entre les parois qui l'entourent, ce jeu étant bien entendu très faible et assurant une stérilisation de la broche 3' absolument sur toute sa surface.According to the invention, the part of the pin 16 projecting in the interval between branches la ', lb' is hollowed out at 17 in its central zone so as to provide the pin 3 'with a space allowing the latter a certain play or movement between the walls which surround it, this clearance being of course very small and ensuring sterilization of the spindle 3 'absolutely over its entire surface.
L'évidement 17 laisse à l'extrémité du pion 16 une partie 18 de plein diamètre formant avec la branche en regard lb' un goulet de passage de la broche 3' très légèrement inférieur au diamètre de cette broche. Ainsi, ladite partie en saillie 18 forme un point dur lors de l'engagement de la broche 3' entre les branches la', lb',qu'il faut vaincre pour accéder à la zone plus large de l'évidement 17.The recess 17 leaves at the end of the pin 16 a part 18 of full diameter forming with the branch facing lb 'a passage through the spindle 3' slightly less than the diameter of this spindle. Thus, said protruding part 18 forms a hard point during the engagement of the pin 3 'between the branches la', lb ', which must be overcome to access the wider area of the recess 17.
L'étranglement 18 assure ainsi la retenue élastique de la broche 3' dans le chevalet _. ' .The constriction 18 thus ensures the elastic retention of the spindle 3 'in the bridge _. '.
La retenue axiale de la broche 3' dans le panier est assurée par des moyens de calage axial appropriés, par exemple du type de la barrette d'appui illustrée en figures 4 et 6.The axial retention of the spindle 3 'in the basket is ensured by appropriate axial wedging means, for example of the type of the support bar illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6.
Avantageusement, pour éviter toute rotation intempestive du pion 16 dans son logement, une agrafe 19, ou autre système anti-rotation, est prévue à l'extrémité du pion, au droit de l'orifice du logement récepteur.Advantageously, to avoid any untimely rotation of the pin 16 in its housing, a clip 19, or other anti-rotation system, is provided at the end of the pin, in line with the orifice of the receiver housing.
Un ou plusieurs pions 16 peuvent être prévus sur la face interne de la branche la' et/ou sur la face interne de l'autre branche lb' .One or more pins 16 may be provided on the internal face of the branch 1a 'and / or on the internal face of the other branch 1b'.
