Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a space for containing medical instruments and medical supplies to have flexibility by constituting the adjustable case so that a dovetail groove or a dovetailed tenon provided in a line in the inner edge of the case and a dovetail tenon or a dovetail groove provided in the end part of a partition plate are fitted to each other and the partition plate is arranged in the case thereby. CONSTITUTION:A rectangular tray-shaped case 1 obtained by injection molding has a side edge erected against the bottom face, and is provided with dovetail grooves 11 provided in a line at a prescribed interval in its inside. Also, these dovetail grooves are provided in a line in a little upper part than the bottom of the case, and also, the upper part of the groove is opened so that the dovetail tenon can be pushed in from the upper part of the dovetail grooves 11. On the other hand, a grooved partition plate 2 obtained by injection molding is provided with dovetail tenons 22, 22 dovetailed into the dovetail grooves 11, 11 in both its ends, and dovetail grooves 21, 21 are provided in a line in the longitudinal direction area. In such a state, when the dovetailed tenons 22, 22 of both ends are fitted in from the upper part of two dovetail grooves 11, 11 opposed to each other by placing the long side between them, the inside of the case 1 can be divided into two.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flexible case in which partition plates can be arranged freely, and can be used particularly in hospitals for sorting, storing and transporting drugs and medical instruments.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the field of medical care in which an important human life is entrusted, technology is advancing day by day in every aspect. With the progress of this technology, the functions have been specialized and subdivided according to the applications, and the types of medical devices and pharmaceuticals have increased too much, which has been an obstacle to their management. For example, if different kinds of medicine such as gastrointestinal medicine and sleeping medicine are stored together, it becomes troublesome to find out the necessary medicine, and if a scalpel is stored together with a urinal bottle, hygiene problems occur.

Currently, these medical instruments and medicines are generally stored and managed in a multi-stage rack drawer, a stackable tray, or the like. But this drawer,
Most of the trays are of the same size, but the medical instruments and medicines to be stored are of different sizes, so the storage space must be wasted. However, if you try to match the sizes of the drawers and trays to various sizes of medical equipment and medicines, you will not be able to stack or stack them. Therefore, it is best to divide the inside of the drawer and tray that are designed to be large into several parts and store them inside this partition, but the medical instruments and medicines that should be stored are advancing day by day, and their sizes are changing. The storage space that was once partitioned became useless immediately.

[0004]

Therefore, it is a technical object of the present invention to provide a space for accommodating medical instruments and medicines with flexibility.

[0005]

In the end, according to the present invention, dovetail grooves or dovetails are arranged on the inner edge of the case while dovetail tenons or dovetails are provided at the end of the partition plate. It was decided to solve the above-mentioned problems by adopting a means that allows the partition plate to be freely arranged in the case by fitting the tenon.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

The rectangular tray-shaped case 1 obtained by injection molding has a side edge that is upright with respect to the bottom surface, a flange is provided on the collar from the upper part of this side edge, and a predetermined inside of the side edge. It is equipped with dovetails 11.11 ... that are lined up at intervals. The dovetail grooves 11 ・ 11 ・ ... are arranged slightly above the bottom of the case so that they form a right angle with the bottom surface.
・ The upper part of the groove is open so that you can insert the ant tenon from the upper part of.

On the other hand, the grooved partition plate 2 obtained by injection molding is also provided with dovetails 22 and 22 to be fitted into the dovetail grooves 11 and 11 at both ends, and its longitudinal direction. Dovetails 21, 21, ... Are lined up in the area. This grooved partition plate 2
Is approximately equal to the long-sided inner diameter of Case 1, and when the dovetails 22 and 22 at both ends are fitted from above the two dovetail grooves 11 and 11 facing each other across the long side, the inside of Case 1 is It can be divided into two. On the other hand, the dovetails 21, 21, ... Provided on the grooved partition plate 2 are the dovetails 11, 11 ,.
Are arranged at the same intervals as the case, and the grooved partition plate 2 is the case 1
When set to, the dovetail groove 21 ・ 21 ・
... and the dovetail 11.11 ... of Case 1 face each other. Further, the dovetail grooves 21, 21, ... Are all open at the same groove end, and the opposite ends of the open groove ends are all the same as the distance that the dovetail grooves 11, 11, ... It is separated from the board edge by a distance.

However, when the grooved partition plate 2 is set in the case 1, the dovetail grooves 21, 21, ... Of the partition plate 2 and the dovetail grooves 11, 11 ,. They will be lined up facing each other at height. Therefore, if the partition plate 3 having the dovetails 32, 32 at both ends is prepared, it can be set so as to be passed between the dovetail groove 21 of the grooved partition plate 2 and the dovetail groove 11 of the case 1. Various lengths of the partition plate 3 are prepared in advance so that even if the set position of the grooved partition plate 2 is changed.

The case whose interior is partitioned as described above can be stacked as it is, but it is also possible to hook the flange on the wagon of the wagon and stack it in multiple stages for transportation.

Although the present embodiment is as described above, in the present invention, not only a tray type case but also a drawer type case can be adopted. Further, the flexible case of the present invention can be used for purposes other than medical purposes, for example, for general office work.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, by partitioning the partition plate inside the case, the partitioning method inside the case can be easily changed, and the partition plate is slightly flexible. However, since the dovetails can be reinforced at both ends, it is possible to form dovetail grooves in the longitudinal direction of the partition plate. Further, even if the stored item collides with the partition plate during use of the case, the partition plate does not fall out of the groove. This makes it possible to freely partition the inside of the case, making it easier to accommodate the ever increasing number of stored items. As described above, the universal case of the present invention has an extremely high industrial utility value.
