Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of tool storage devices.
- the present invention relates more particularly to such devices for housing small medical tools, such as drills, reamers, implants or pivots, and their easy delivery by gripping only one end of said tools.
- US Pat. No. 5,482,207 which describes a system for facilitating the safe recovery and deposit of medical needles. This system is mainly used to deposit used syringes or needles so as not to risk injuring someone and contaminating them. The concern here is to secure a specific tool in the hospital environment when the latter has been used and must therefore be discarded, but in a secure manner.
- This system does not, however, offer any solution for presenting medical tools for non-single use (multiple consecutive uses) for their secure gripping by the user, while keeping at least the part of said tool intended for medical use perfectly sterile.
- a disadvantage of the prior art is the soiling of the dental material when the contents of the refills are taken manually.
- This socket is necessary for example to fix the drill to its drive system or to set up the pivots.
- European patent application EP 567 744 describes a cassette for storing objects, which is pivotally mounted relative to the lid and to the container of a box. The latter is opened by lifting the cover by its upper part.
- US Patent 5,692,609 describes a box for storing dental tools. The box includes a pivoting lid of a container.
- French patent FR 2 796 874 describes a tool box comprising two end walls and a storage element inside.
- German patent DE 298 00 782 describes a storage box, the cover of which is pivotally mounted on the container, a spring preventing any impromptu opening / closing.
- American patent US 1 684 417 describes a tool kit with two flaps opening in two by rotation of one flap relative to the other. Another drawback of the prior art concerns the absence of opening of the box by simple pressure on the cover.
- the present invention intends to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a device for storing these tools, which is both very easy to use, to make and which makes it very easy to sterilize the tools when they are stored / fixed in said device.
- the present invention relates to a tool storage device, of substantially parallelepiped shape, comprising at least two bodies fixed to one another by at least two fixing points, one of said two bodies forming a cover.
- the present invention intends to apply more particularly to the storage of medical equipment, in particular dentist tools such as drills, reamers of all diameters and lengths.
- a drawback of the devices of the prior art is the soiling of the dental material during manual picking-up of the contents of the storage devices.
- This socket is necessary for example to fix the drill to its drive system or to set up the pivots
- the expression “complementary body” is understood to mean the fact that this body associated with the body forming a cover constitutes a closed housing, or the like, that is to say that none of the faces of the storage device has opening, except for small punctual orifices.
- the body forming a cover will comprise a plurality of fixing elements, integral with the internal face of said body, for fixing the tools.
- the storage device of the invention will comprise at least one opening stop and at least one closing stop of the body forming a cover.
- the opening stop will be constituted by the bottom of the complementary body or by a stop fixed to said bottom.
- the closing stop will be constituted by two lugs on the complementary body.
- the two pins will be arranged respectively in two consecutive angles or will be constituted by an inner rim extending over the length of one of the short sides.
- the complementary body will include a truncated or bevelled part, allowing contact with the protruding tab during the entire pivoting path of the body forming the cover.
- the fixing points will consist of two wings on the body forming a cover introduced into two slots on the complementary body.
- the complementary body comprises a plurality of orifices of small diameter.
- the storage device can be placed in a heat, for example an autoclave oven, used for sterilizing the tools stored in said device.
- the fastening elements will consist of a plurality of hollow tubes, or sleeves, to each house at least one tool.
- the body forming the cover may comprise at least two tabs extending perpendicular to its flat face, called the cover, to come into contact with at least one tool.
- the two bodies will be made of plastic.
- the complementary body and the cover forming body will have two colors different from each other.
- the present invention also relates to a box, comprising an opening / closing system, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of storage devices conforming to the characteristics set out above.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the device storage according to the invention in the maximum open position of the cover body
- Figure 2 illustrates a perspective view of the storage device according to the invention in the middle open position of the cover body
- Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the storage device according to the invention when the cover body is in the closed position of the device
- FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a box, without its closing cover, having a plurality of housings for placing and / or fixing the tool storage devices according to the invention.
- the storage device visible in the different figures, consists of a complementary lower body 2 of a cover forming body 3 intended to form the closing cover of the device 1.
- the complementary body 2 comprises, in the example chosen to illustrate the invention, a bottom 4 and four walls 5, 6, 7, 8 extending substantially perpendicular to this bottom 4.
- the complementary body 2 comprises two large side walls 5 and 7 opposite and parallel and two small walls 6 and 8 opposite, also parallel to each other.
- the small front wall 6 is slightly rounded, or curved, towards the outside of the device 1 while the small rear wall 8 is shorter in height than the front wall 6.
- the rear ends of the two side walls 5 and 7 join obliquely the small rear wall 8.
- This particular truncated or bevelled configuration is intended to allow the rotation or pivoting of a protruding part 9 of the body forming the cover 3 and above all its possible contact throughout the pivoting path of the body forming cover 3.
- This rim 10 may advantageously be of a different color on different storage device 1 according to the invention so that the user can store there specific tools whose location he will know simply. This can be useful in situations where it is necessary to quickly find a particular tool.
- the cover body 3 has a flat cover plate 11.
- Two arms 12, extending perpendicular to said cover plate 11, extend from the internal face of the plate 11. At the end of these two arms 12 extends perpendicularly, ie parallel to the flat plate 11 , a set 13 of three hollow tubes integral with each other. Of course the number of these tubes can be increased or decreased depending on the needs of production or use. These tubes are intended to receive tools 14, in particular medical tools such as drills or pivots intended for dentists. From the internal face of the plate 11 also extend two legs 15 perpendicular to the plane of said plate 11. These two legs 15 have a periphery of concave, circular or semi-circular shape ideally intended to come into contact with a tool 14 comprising a cylindrical part, or the like.
- the tool 16 of cylindrical shape is slid between the drills 14 arranged in the hollow tubes 13 and the lugs 15 so that this tool 16 is fixed by contact with these two elements 14 and 15.
- the body forming the cover 3 also comprises at the rear end of the flat plate 11 a protruding tab 9 intended to allow easy positioning of a finger of the user to actuate the pivoting of the body forming the cover 3.
- the protruding tab 9 is located on the other side of the fixing means 13, 15 of the tools 14 and 16 relative to the pivot axis X'X. This is why by pressing on the protruding tab 9, the cover forming body 3 rises and the storage device 1 opens and allows the entry of the tools 14 and / or 16.
- the protruding tab 9 is constituted , in the example chosen to illustrate the invention, by a border extending substantially over the entire width of the short sides 6 or 8.
- the body forming the cover 3 and / or the complementary body 2 will be made of transparent or semi-transparent material so as to allow a user to view the tools present in the device according to the invention.
- the pivot axis X'X is here produced by the fixing between the body forming the cover 3 and the complementary body 2 of two fixing points 17 situated respectively close to the flange 10, or to the upper end, of the two large side walls 5 and 7, near the small rear wall 8.
- the opening stop that is to say intended to block the opening of the cover body 3 in its maximum open position, here consists of a stop, not visible in the accompanying figures, stretching from of the bottom 4 of the complementary body 2, but one can more simply provide that the bottom 4 itself forms the stop.
- the closing stop that is to say to stop the closing of the body forming the cover 3 in its closed position, here consists of two pins, not visible in the appended figures, located in the two angles respectively between the front wall 6 and the two large side walls 5 and 7. These pins simply consist of protuberances whose upper face, in contact with the internal face of the planar plate 11, is planar or substantially planar.
- the storage device consists of a plastic material whose characteristics allow it to undergo sterilization processes well known in the medical and dental field, such as hot sterilization at 180 ° C or the autoclave or any other means of sterilization.
- the housing 18 shown in FIG. 4 comprises a plurality of housings 19 intended in particular to each accommodate a storage device 1 as described above and shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
- This housing 18 of course has a cover for closing it , not shown in Figure 4.
- the housing 18 is easily transportable with inside a plurality of storage devices 1 possibly including tools 14, 16 specific in each of them depending on the particular color of their body complementary 2 or part thereof.
- said box in order to allow the sterilization of one or more devices once in place in the storage box, said box is pierced at least one orifice on at least one of its faces and consists of a plastic material whose characteristics allow it to undergo sterilization processes well known in the medical and dental field, such as hot sterilization at 180 ° C or the autoclave or any other means of sterilization.
