Description

  The present invention relates to a cap holder, and more particularly to a cap holder for covering a used injection needle with a cap.

Conventionally, in a medical field, a used injection needle is discarded after being covered with a cap. However, it is prohibited for a doctor to cover a used injection needle while holding the cap. This is because the doctor eliminates the risk of accidentally sticking a used injection needle into the hand, and it is defined as a prohibited matter by law.
Therefore, conventionally, a cap holder for covering a used injection needle with a cap has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). The cap holder of patent document 1 is provided with the cylindrical support member holding a cap, and the clip which connected this support member to the side, The said support member is fixed by pinching | interposing this clip in a required location. Will be in a standing state. The cap removed from the injection needle at the time of injection is inserted and held in the cylindrical support member, and the used injection needle is held by the doctor in the support member. It is supposed to be plugged in. Thereby, the cap is put on the used injection needle without the doctor holding the cap in his hand.
On the other hand, the holder of Patent Document 2 includes a main body having an engagement hole for holding a cap, and a U-shaped metal fitting for connecting the main body to a required position. The main body is supported horizontally by engaging with. And it is made to hold | maintain in the state which raised the cap to the engagement hole of the said main-body part, Then, a used injection needle is inserted in the cap hold | maintained at the said main-body part. Thereby, the cap is put on the used injection needle without the doctor holding the cap in his hand.

Incidentally, the conventional cap holder described above has the following drawbacks. In other words, the cap holder of Patent Document 1 has a drawback that the entire holder is bulky because the cylindrical support member is attached to the side surface of the clip. Therefore, the cap holder of patent document 1 had the fault that it was bulky and difficult to carry when a doctor carries. In addition, since the clip needs to be fixed by being sandwiched between thin plate-like portions, there is a drawback that the installation location of the holder is limited.
On the other hand, in the cap holder of Patent Document 2, since the U-shaped metal fitting is connected to the disk-shaped main body, the entire holder is bulky and the installation place is limited.
As described above, the above-described conventional cap holder has the disadvantage that it is inconvenient for a doctor to carry and carry, and the installation location of the holder is limited.

In view of the circumstances described above, the present invention includes a cylindrical main body that can hold an injection needle cap or an indwelling needle cap, and a pair of left and right movable legs that are swingably provided on the main body. Can be switched between a folded state in which a pair of movable legs are folded along the main body and a use state in which a tripod is formed by raising the pair of movable legs and one end of the main body. Because
When installed at a required location in the use state, the main body portion is maintained in an inclined state, the cap can be fitted to the main body portion, and the cap is held on the main body portion in the use state. Then, the cap holder which can insert and hold | maintain a used injection needle or an indwelling needle to this cap is provided.

  According to such a configuration, since the cap holder is not bulky in the folded state, the doctor can easily carry it in the pocket of the lab coat. In use, the cap holder can be easily installed by placing it at a required location. Therefore, it is possible to provide a cap holder that is convenient for carrying and can be easily installed.

The figure which shows the work process at the time of installing and using the cap holder of the use condition shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In FIGS. 1 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a cap holder, and the cap holder 1 is used to cover a used injection needle 2 with a cap 3 ( (Refer FIG.7 (c)).
The cap holder 1 of the present embodiment includes a cylindrical main body 4 that can hold a cap 3 for an injection needle 2 and a pair of movable legs 5 that are swingably provided on the left and right sides of the main body 4. 5 and a connecting portion 6 for connecting the movable leg portions 5 and 5 to the main body portion 4. All members constituting the cap holder 1 are manufactured using synthetic resin as a material.

The main body portion 4 is made of a transparent synthetic resin, and the inner diameter of the main body portion 4 is set to a dimension that allows the small diameter portion 3 </ b> A on the distal end side of the cap 3 to be fitted without a gap. In addition, as conventionally known, the cap 3 is made of a stepped cylindrical synthetic resin, the front end side being the small diameter portion 3A and the rear end side being the large diameter portion 3B. In a state before use, the cap 3 is put on the injection needle 2 (FIG. 7A).
The total length (axial length) of the main body 4 of the cap holder 1 is set to be longer than both the movable legs 5 and 5 and about twice as long as the small diameter portion 3A of the cap 3 (see FIG. 7 (a) to FIG. 7 (d)).
One end of the main body 4 in the axial direction is an insertion port 4A, and the other end 4B in the axial direction is opened without being closed. The insertion port 4 </ b> A is formed in a tapered shape having a larger diameter than other portions of the main body 4. Thereby, the small diameter portion 3 </ b> A of the cap 3 is easily inserted into the main body portion 4.

The connecting portion 6 is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the main body portion 4 near the insertion port 4A, and inclined portions 6A and 6A are formed on both sides of the connecting portion 6 at symmetrical positions. These inclined portions 6A and 6A are formed to be inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the axis of the main body portion 4, and engagement holes 6B and 6B are formed in the centers of the inclined portions 6A and 6A, respectively ( (See FIG. 3).
On the other hand, inclined surfaces 5A and 5A inclined at 45 ° with respect to the axis of the movable leg portions 5 and 5 are formed at the upper ends of the movable leg portions 5 and 5, and these inclined surfaces 5A and 5A are formed. Engagement projections 5B and 5B are formed at the center of each.
And the engaging convex part 5B of one movable leg part 5 is engaged with the engaging hole 6B of one inclined part 6A, and the engaging convex part 5B of the other movable leg part 5 is engaged with the other inclined part 6A. The engagement hole 6B is engaged (see FIG. 3). The front end of the engaging convex portion 5B is thicker so that it does not fall off once it is engaged with the engaging hole 6B.
Thereby, each movable leg part 5 and 5 can be rock | fluctuated with respect to the main-body part 4 centering | focusing on the engaging holes 6B and 6B of the said inclination parts 6A and 6A.

The pair of left and right movable leg portions 5 and 5 are folded to approach both sides of the main body portion 4 and are in a folded state (see FIGS. 1 to 3). In this folded state, the lower ends 5C and 5C of the movable legs 5 and 5 and the end 4B of the main body 5 are aligned at the same position in the longitudinal direction. In this folded state, the entire cap holder 1 is folded into a small bar shape, so that the doctor can easily carry the cap holder 1 in a white coat pocket or the like. In addition, the clearance gap between the said engagement holes 6B and 6B and the outer peripheral surface of the engagement convex parts 5B and 5B is small, and there exists frictional resistance between them. Therefore, both the movable leg portions 5 and 5 are maintained along both sides of the main body portion 4 in a natural folded state that is not particularly touched by a doctor.
On the other hand, when both the movable leg portions 5 and 5 are swung from the main body portion 4 by a required angle from the folded state, the cap holder 1 is in use (see FIGS. 4 to 6). As described above, since there is a frictional resistance between the engagement holes 6B and 6B and the outer peripheral surfaces of the engagement projections 5B and 5B, both the movable leg portions are used unless particularly strong force is applied in use. 5 and 5 are maintained in an inclined state with respect to the main body 4.
When the cap holder 1 of this embodiment is in this use state, a tripod is formed by the movable leg portions 5 and 5 and the other end 4B of the main body portion 4. Therefore, if it will be in this use state, it can install easily only by mounting the cap holder 1 in a required location (refer FIGS. 4-7). When the cap holder 1 is installed at a required position in this use state, the insertion port 4A is positioned at the upper end, and the entire main body 4 is maintained in an inclined state of about 45 ° (see FIG. 7). .

The cap holder 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and this cap holder 1 is used in the medical field as follows.
That is, before use, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cap holder 1 is in a folded state, and the doctor holds the cap holder 1 in this state in a pocket of a white coat.
Then, when the doctor moves to the side of the patient's bed 11 for injection, the doctor takes out the folded cap holder 1 from the pocket and then raises the movable legs 5 and 5 so that the cap holder 1 is used. (See FIGS. 4 to 6). Then, the doctor places the cap holder 1 in use on the patient's bed 11. Thereby, the cap holder 1 can be easily installed on the bed 11 (refer Fig.7 (a)). Thus, the main body 4 is supported on the bed 11 in an inclined state in which the insertion port 4A is the upper end.

In this state, the doctor inserts and fits the small diameter portion 3A of the cap 3 into the insertion port 4A, whereby the cap 3 of the injection needle 2 before use is held by the main body portion 4 (FIG. 7A). FIG. 7B). Thereafter, the doctor removes the injection needle 2 from the cap 3 and attaches it to a syringe (not shown), and then injects the patient.
Thereafter, the doctor inserts the used injection needle 2 into the cap 3 held by the cap holder 1 and fits it (see FIG. 7C). Thereby, the cap 3 is put on the used injection needle 2 without the doctor grasping the cap 3 by hand. At this time, it can be easily visually confirmed by the doctor through the transparent main body portion 4 that the cap 3 is securely put on the injection needle 2.
Thereafter, the doctor removes the used injection needle 2 covered with the cap 3 from the cap holder 1 together with the cap 3 and puts it in the pocket of the lab coat, and lifts the cap holder 1 back to the folded state described above before lab coat. (See FIG. 7D). Thus, the doctor can safely carry the used injection needle 2 and can easily carry the folded cap holder 1.
Thereafter, the doctor carries the used injection needle 2 with the cap 3 and the cap holder 1 and moves them to a predetermined disposal location, and then discards the used injection needle 2 with the cap 3 on the collection box. do it.

As described above, since the cap holder 1 of the present embodiment is in a folded state that is not bulky when not in use, the doctor can easily carry the folded-up cap holder 1 in a white coat pocket or the like.
On the other hand, the tripod is formed by the other end 4 </ b> B of the main body 4 and the movable legs 5, 5 by raising both the movable legs 5, 5 to put the cap holder 1 in use. It is like that. In the state of use, the cap holder 1 can be easily installed simply by placing it on a required location such as on a patient's bed or a futon. When the cap holder 1 is installed in this manner, the main body 4 is maintained in an inclined state, so that the cap 3 can be easily fitted to the main body 4, and the cap 3 held by the main body 3 is attached to the cap 3. The used injection needle 2 can be easily inserted.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the cap holder 1 that can be easily carried without being bulky and can be easily installed at a required location.

In addition, although the Example mentioned above demonstrated the case where the cap 3 was put on the general injection needle 2 using the cap holder 1, the cap was put on the indwelling needle instead of the general injection needle 2 as mentioned above. Of course, the cap holder 1 of the present invention can also be applied.
Moreover, in the said Example, although the main-body part 4 was formed in the cylindrical shape, the main-body part 4 is formed in the cylinder shape where a cross section becomes a square, and the inner peripheral part used as the insertion opening 4A and its adjacent downward side is cross-sectional. You may make it form in a circle.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the movable legs 5 and 5 are configured to extend along the left and right sides of the main body 4 in the folded state. However, the movable legs 5 and 5 are connected to each other like a camera tripod, for example. You may make it follow along the front surface of the main-body part 4 in the state contact | abutted to.
