Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of tool storage devices, preferably of medical type equipment and in particular of the type of drills, reamers, pivots and dental implants.
- refills of dental material in particular drills and pivots, in the form of hermetic sachets, tubes or boxes, generally made of plastic.
- the contents of these refills are intended to be poured or placed manually in a container, in order to facilitate their subsequent use.
- said container is made of thermoformed plastic.
- the content of said refills can also be directly used by withdrawing the content manually or by means of pliers.
- Dental-type medical equipment is intended for use in the mouth of patients. For obvious reasons of hygiene, the equipment must be clean and sterilized.
- a drawback 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.
- the plastic generally used by refills and containers does not allow them to be sterilized directly in these containers. Additional handling towards a container specific to the sterilization processes before, then from said container to the storage container after sterilization, does not offer sufficient hygienic conditions.
- 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 in said device. .
- a number of boxes are known which consist of a container and a lid.
- the 322 describes a box whose lid is removable from the container.
- the lid has side walls of a shape compatible with channels on the edge of the container.
- the present invention is of the type described above and it is remarkable, in its broadest sense, in that it comprises a container intended to receive said tools and a complementary closure means for said container, said means closure also being a means of gripping the container characterized in that said closing means comprises a horizontal planar part and at least two vertical planes, said vertical planes serving as gripping means and forming with said planar part opening means by unclipping by pressure on said vertical planes like a clothespin.
- said flat part serves as a means of expelling said container during opening by clipping.
- said container comprises on one of its open faces at least two tabs intended to be embedded in the sliding means.
- said parts forming tongues have a width making it possible to receive inscriptions.
- said container has a female part and the cover has a male part, said male part being intended to fit into said female part when the device is closed, and to serve as a means of blocking the sliding of the cover relative to the container when opening the device by sliding.
- said container comprises at least one orifice on one of its closed faces.
- said cover is made of a transparent material.
- said cover is preferably made of a plastic or semi-rigid material.
- said vertical parts of said cover has on at least part of their surface an anti-slip means during gripping.
- the present invention also relates to a box comprising an opening / closing system and at least one housing intended to receive the storage device of the invention set out above.
- the edges of said container are means for retaining the container in said housings.
- said edges have means for raising the container relative to the surface of said box.
- said vertical parts of said cover include a lower part which has the shape of an arc of a circle.
- said lower parts of said vertical parts have a length less than or equal to the depth of said container.
- said box has at least one orifice on one of its faces.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the device according to the invention in the closed position
- FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of the device according to the invention after opening
- FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the cover of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of the container of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of the box intended to receive the device according to the invention
- Figure 6 illustrates a perspective view of the box receiving the device according to the invention.
- the device comprises two lower and upper parts.
- Said lower part, illustrated in FIG. 4, is a container 1 intended to receive the tools, and more particularly drills, pivots and dental implants.
- the container has a substantially parallelepiped shape and has an open face. Tabs 2 on the edges of said open face are intended to enter the means for closing said upper part.
- Said upper part 3, illustrated in FIG. 3, is a means for closing said open face of the container. It consists of a horizontal flat part 4 acting as a cover which has on at least two of its opposite sides vertical planes 5.
- Said vertical planes 5 are means for gripping said cover and said device when the cover is fixed to the container 1 in closed position.
- Said vertical planes 5 may have vertical or horizontal grooves 6 acting as a non-slip means when gripping said cover.
- the vertical planes 5 have on their lower part a longitudinal groove 7 which forms with the flat part 4 a sliding rail.
- the depth of said grooves 7 allows the tongues 2 of said container 1 to slide and their clipping / unclipping relative to said cover.
- Male (not shown) and female 8 parts are respectively arranged on the cover and the container 1. When the device is closed, the male part is embedded in the female part 8. During the sliding opening, the 'pin defined by said male part serves as a stop against a wall of said container 1 to stop sliding and thus maintain the cover attached to container 1 in the open position.
- Said cover is made of a rigid or semi-rigid plastic material, accepting a low strain deformation which allows said vertical planes 5 to have a degree of freedom of rotation relative to said planar part 4 along the axis defined by the junction between said vertical planes 5 and said horizontal planar part 4.
- the lid is clipped / unclipped with respect to the container 1 by pressing on said vertical planes 5 of the lid, like a clothespin, and according to said degree of freedom.
- the resistance of the plastic material allows a slight deformation of the different parts of the cover and the clipping / unclipping of the latter.
- the unclipping is carried out by deformation of the various parts of the lid according to a force of expulsion applied from the lid to the container.
- the two means for opening / closing said device offer the possibility of using the refills directly by placing the device preferably on a flat surface, or in a storage box 10 grouping together several devices according to the invention.
- the box 10, illustrated in FIG. 6, is intended to receive several devices according to the invention corresponding to different tool sizes.
- Said containers 1 have a different color depending on the size of the tools they contain, thus allowing for simplified recognition and storage.
- a color indicator for the column or row may be added to the box.
- Said vacuum box 10, illustrated in FIG. 5, is a support comprising at least one housing 11 intended to receive a device according to the invention, said housing having a shape allowing the embedding of said container 1. The placement of the device in said housing 11 operates by unclipping the cover, the container sliding in its housing 11. Said tabs 2 of the container 1 ensure its retention on the edges 12 of said housing 11.
- the vertical parts 5 of the cover comprise a lower part 13, like a skirt, of a length less than or equal to the height of the container.
- said skirt 13 has substantially the shape of an arc of a circle of a length greater than the length of said container, said arch having the function of allowing the placement of a device without touching it another already in place.
- This skirt 13 may be of reduced height and the lower part 13 of said cover is then reduced to the slide 7.
- said tabs 2 of the container have on their lower face lugs 14 serving as wedge for raising the container 1 relative to the surface of said box 10. This elevation allows a simplified manual extraction or the extraction by clipping of the cover on said container 1. Said tabs of container 1, visible in FIG.
- the device according to the invention 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. At least one orifice 9 drilled on at least one of the faces of the container 1, and preferably on the bottom, has in particular the function of allowing sterilization by autoclave.
