Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a collection container for collecting medical waste such as a disposable syringe, an empty ampoule, and a cotton swab.

(Prior art) In a hospital, for example, after collecting medical waste in a watertight bag,
It is transported to the treatment site and sterilized by incineration, etc., but in order to prevent dangerous waste from leaking out of the watertight bag during recovery, make sure the opening of the watertight bag is secure. Need to be blocked.

Therefore, conventionally, a waste recovery device described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-162403 has been devised. This is to form a narrowing hole in two flap pieces that are opposed to each other among four flap pieces that are extended around the inlet opening of the container body in which the watertight bag is arranged, and to select either one of them. By pulling the opening of the watertight bag into the narrowing hole, the opening of the watertight bag is narrowed and closed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-described conventional configuration, since the opening of the watertight bag is only narrowed down at one place, for example, the container body may be repeated during transportation or the container body may be handled roughly. When the watertight bag is pressed, the liquid waste contained in the watertight bag may pass through the narrowed portion of the watertight bag and leak to the outside.

An object of the present invention is to provide a waste collection container that solves the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to the drawings corresponding to the embodiments. A container body 1 having a waste input port 10 and an inside of the container body 1 will be described. Has a watertight bag 2 into which waste A is put, and a plurality of flap pieces 11a to 11d that extend around the input port of the container body 1 and that are sequentially folded and overlap with each other. Among the flap pieces 11a to 11d, at least two flap pieces are provided with a narrowing hole 13 for narrowing down the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2, and the narrowing hole 13 is formed in each of the flap pieces 11a to 11d. In the superposed state of 11d, a structure is used in which the positions are displaced from each other.

(Operation) In the above configuration, when closing the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2, the flap pieces 11a to 11d of the container body 1 are sequentially folded and the folded flap pieces 11a to 11d are sequentially folded.
Of the d, at least two flap pieces, to be described according to the embodiment, only the watertight bag 2 needs to be drawn into the narrowing holes 13 penetrating the three flap pieces 11a to 11c. As a result, the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2 can be narrowed down at least at two places, and the narrowed portions are bent and zipped in zigzag shapes with the flap pieces 11a to 11d which overlap each other, so that the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2 can be sandwiched.
The narrowed portion of a can be surely closed.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a waste collection container according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is a container body 1 made of corrugated board made of an outer box 1a and an inner box 1b, and disposed in the container body 1. And a watertight bag 2 made of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene.

As shown also in FIG. 3, the outer box 1a includes a rectangular tube-shaped outer box body 3 and four upper and lower flap pieces 4a extending along the peripheral edges of the upper and lower openings of the outer box body 3. 4d, 5a to 5d, the lower flap pieces 4a to 4d of which are engaged with each other to form the bottom of the outer casing 1a, and one of the upper flap pieces 5a to 5d is A pair of arcuate grip portions 6 and 6 are cut and formed, and the remaining portions 5b to 5d
A pair of semicircular handle portion insertion holes 7 and 7 are provided to face the handle portions 6 and 6, respectively.

The inner box 1b includes a rectangular tube-shaped inner box body 9 and four flap pieces 11a to 11d extending adjacent to each other at the upper opening of the inner box body 9, that is, at the periphery of the waste input port 10. It consists of The lower opening of the inner box body 1b is always open. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an adhesive 12 is applied to a proper place on the inner surface of the inner box 1b, and the watertight bag 2 is separably attached to the inner surface of the inner box 1b by the adhesive 12. Further, among the flap pieces 11a to 11d, the three flap pieces 11a to 11c have a substantially V-shaped cut portion 13a formed from one side edge to a central portion thereof, and a rear end of the cut portion 13a. A semicircular bundling portion 13b communicating with the
And a water-tight bag 2
The water-tight bag 2 has an opening 2a that is cut into the cut portion 13a by simply inserting the cut portion 13a into the cut portion 13a and pulling the cut portion 13a toward the rear end side.
After being squeezed along the inner edge of the, it is pushed into the binding portion 13b. The opening 2a pushed into the bundling portion 13b is held by the pair of holding pieces 14 and 14 left uncut between the bundling portion 13b and the cut portion 13a. No (Fig. 5
(See (a) (b)).

Further, the narrowing hole 13 is, as shown in FIG. 4 (a),
When the flap pieces 11a to 11c are folded and overlapped with each other, the flap pieces 11a to 11c are displaced from each other, so that the narrowed portion 2b of the watertight bag 1 is necessarily long as shown in FIG. 4 (b). At the same time, the narrowed portion 2b is bent in a zigzag shape, whereby the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2 is reliably closed.

In this embodiment, the narrowing holes 13 are provided through the three flap pieces 11a to 11c, but the narrowing holes 13 may be formed in at least two flap pieces. In addition, all four flap pieces 11a to 11d have a narrowing hole 1
3 may be provided so that the opening of the watertight bag 2 can be more reliably closed.

Reference numeral 16 in FIG. 3 is a corrugated board made of a corrugated board which is laid on the bottom surface of the watertight bag 2 to protect the watertight bag 2.

Explaining the method of recovering waste, first, when recovering waste, the flap pieces 11a to 11d of the inner box 1b inserted into the outer box 1a are raised and inserted into the inner box 1b. The upper edge of the watertight bag 2 is folded back over the upper ends of the flap pieces 11a to 11d, and the floor plate 16 is laid on the bottom surface of the watertight bag 2 to obtain the state shown in FIG.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the waste A such as a disposable type syringe may be put into the watertight bag 2.
Since the watertight bag 2 is attached to the inner box 1b by the adhesive 12, there is no possibility that the watertight bag 2 will fall into the inner box 1b due to the impact when the waste A is introduced.
It can be used as a trash can for collection.

Next, when closing the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), after peeling the watertight bag 2 from each of the flap pieces 11a to 11d, it is sufficient to fold the appropriate flap piece 11a inward and pull the watertight bag 2 into the narrowing hole 13 of the flap piece 11a. . As a result, the opening 2a of the watertight bag 2 is narrowed down along both side edges of the notch 13a, and then the pair of holding pieces 14 and 14 are pressed to separate the binding portion 13.
It is pushed into b and the narrowed state is maintained.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the remaining two flap pieces 11b and 11c having the narrowing holes 13 are sequentially folded, and the watertight bag 2 is narrowed down in the same procedure as described above. In this case, since the narrowing holes 13 are displaced from each other, the length of the narrowed portion 2b of the watertight bag 2 can be made sufficiently long, and the narrowed portion 2b can be bent in a zigzag shape to form a watertight bag. The second opening 2a can be surely closed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the remaining one flap piece 11d of the inner box 1b is folded and the grip portion 6 of the outer box 1a is folded.
First, the flap piece 5a having the above is folded, and then the remaining flap pieces 5a to 5d are folded, and then, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the sealing seal 18 is attached to the upper flap piece 5d and the outer box body 3 You just have to stick it between and.

When treating the waste collection container in which the waste A has been collected as described above, the handle portion 6 caused through the handle portion insertion portion 7 is grasped and transported to the processing site, and incinerated or the like for sterilization treatment. Good.

In the above-described embodiment, the container body 1 has the two structures of the outer box 1a, the inner box 1b and the floor plate 16 so that sharp waste A such as an injection needle does not penetrate the container body 1. In the case of waste A that is unlikely to penetrate the container body 1, the inner box 1b is omitted, and the upper flap pieces 5a to 5d of the outer box 1a are narrowed down in place of the handle 6 and the handle insertion hole 7. You may make it penetrate 13.

According to the present invention, according to the present invention, a plurality of flap pieces are sequentially folded and overlapped with each other, and at least two flap pieces among the flap pieces are formed with narrowing holes, and
In the overlapped state of the flap pieces, the narrowing holes are displaced from each other. Therefore, by drawing the openings of the watertight bag into the narrowing holes, at least two openings of the watertight bag can be narrowed. At the same time, by bending and sandwiching the narrowed portion with flap pieces that overlap each other in a zigzag manner, the narrowed portion of the opening of the watertight bag can be reliably closed, for example, the container body may be repeated during transportation. Even if the container body is handled roughly and the watertight bag is pressed, there is no risk that the liquid waste contained in the watertight bag will pass through the narrowed portion of the watertight bag and leak to the outside.
