Additionally, the disposable lower portion may have varying aromas, colors and patterns to serve in relaxing a patient and promoting patient recovery.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to hospital curtains. More specifically, the present invention relates to a disposable hospital curtain which acts as a hanging room divider.
- Many hospital rooms are divided into separate patient areas by hanging room dividers. The hospital rooms contain tracks that are mounted into the ceiling of the room. Typically, a curtain is hung from the hooks slidably mounted within a track. The curtain is used to separate patient areas when more than one patient is placed into the hospital room. The curtain may also be used to provide privacy to a patient in a hospital room or other hospital settings such as in the Emergency Room (“ER”), Intensive Care Unit (“ICU”) and Recovery rooms.
- Typically, hanging curtains that are used to divide the room can be slid along the track to enclose a patient in a private and discrete area. The hospital curtains can also be moved such that the patient area is open to the rest of the hospital room.
- Usually the drapes that are hung to divide a hospital room are made of a woven material such as cloth. These curtains provide a nest for bacteria and other germs that become airborne or are otherwise transmitted by touch through daily use within a hospital setting. Most hospitals remove these curtains and have them cleaned no more than once or twice a year at a significant cost. Furthermore, the removal of the cloth curtains take significant hospital staff time as the curtain has to be removed from each and every hook extending from the curtain track.
- While attempts have been made to provide a sanitary environment in private and semiprivate rooms as well as in the ER, Recovery and ICU, the maintenance of a sanitary environment in an economical way has yet to be resolved.
- It is an aspect of the present invention to provide a disposable hospital curtain that can utilize the existing hooks that are slidably mounted within the tracks on a hospital room ceiling. To achieve this and other aspects and advantages, the disposable hospital curtain ensemble contains an upper portion that is attached to the existing hooks in a mounted track on the ceiling of a hospital room. The bottom portion of the hospital curtain ensemble removably attaches to the upper portion of the hospital curtain ensemble. The lower portion of the hospital curtain ensemble is disposable and easily replaced.
- These and other features, advantages and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hospital room setting utilizing the disposable hospital curtain of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the disposable hospital curtain of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the disposable hospital curtain of the present invention with the upper and lower portion of the disposable hospital curtain partially separated.
- The disposable hospital curtain constructed in accordance with the present invention can be used with the existing curtain tracks in hospital rooms.
- In the illustrated example, FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a
disposable hospital curtain 2 made in accordance with the present invention hung in ahospital room 18. Thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is hung from thecurtain track 4 installed in theceiling 20 of ahospital room 18. Theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is attached to thecurtain track 4 via thecurtain hook 6, movably mounted within thecurtain track 4. Thecurtain hook 6 and thecurtain track 4 move along thecurtain track 4 such that thedisposable hospital curtain 2 can be used to divide ahospital room 18 and surround apatient bed 24 to provide privacy for a hospital patient. Thecurtain hook 6 within thecurtain track 4 may also be moved such that thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is withdrawn along the track so as to open up thehospital room 18. - FIG. 2 illustrates the attachment of the
disposable hospital curtain 2 to thecurtain track 4. Theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is attached to thecurtain track 4 by thecurtain hooks 6.Holes 10 located in spaced arrangement along the top side of theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 are placed on thecurtain hooks 6. Thecurtain hooks 6 are moveably mounted in thecurtain track 4 such that thedisposable hospital curtain 2 can be slid along thecurtain track 4. - The
lower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is attached to theupper portion 8 by a fastening means such as strips of hook-and-loop type fasteners, sold under the trade name VELCRO®. Corresponding strips of hook-and-loop type fasteners are attached to the lower side of theupper portion 8 and to the top side of thelower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. Thus, thelower portion 14 is attached to theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 by the fastening means 12. Other conventional fasteners such as snaps, clips, etc., may be substituted or additionally employed. The fastening means 12 is approximately half an inch wide. Thus, the bottom half inch of theupper portion 8 comprises one portion of the fastening means 12. The top half inch of thelower portion 14 comprises the other portion of the fastening means 12. - FIG. 3 illustrates the separation of a portion of the
lower portion 14 from theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. The fastening means 12 allows thelower portion 14 to be easily removed from theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. Similarly, the fastening means 12 allows thelower portion 14 to be easily attached to theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. Thelower portion 14 may be replaced with each new patient or as needed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on usuage and current patient disease process. - The
upper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 should be made of a reusable material such that multiple disposablelower portions 14 can be attached to a singly installedupper portion 8. The preferred material for theupper portion 8 is nylon. Thelower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is made of an inexpensive material that is sterile and helps provide a sanitary environment when thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is used to divide ahospital room 18. The preferred materials for thelower portion 14 include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyester cellulose and nylon. - In the illustrated example, the
upper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is approximately 18″ in height. The dimensions of theupper portion 8 and thelower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 will vary based on the architectural design of the hospital rooms. The thickness of theupper portion 8 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 is approximately 0.5 to 10 mm. The thickness of thelower portion 14 of thehospital curtain 2 is approximately 0.5 to 10 mm. Thedisposable hospital curtain 2 should have a sufficient length to enclose a hospital bed and patient area. - The
lower portion 14 may have varying colors, aromas and patterns to serve in relaxing a patient and promoting patient recovery. Ideally, thelower portion 14 would be available in multiple different color, aroma and pattern options. Disposable curtains are better suited for aromatherapy and color therapy since the curtain will be disposed before the aroma or color fades. Moreover, should a patient be adverse to a particular aroma, color or pattern, a different disposable curtain may be easily substituted. - Additionally, weight may be added to the bottom of the
lower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. This weight may include some form of lead, metal, wood, etc. that is sewn into the bottom of thelower portion 14 of the disposable hospital curtain. Alternatively, materials that would add weight to thelower portion 14 may be added by clipping, clamping or other attachment means. The added weight to thelower portion 14 of thedisposable hospital curtain 2 prevents excessive movement of thedisposable hospital curtain 2. - The above description is considered that of the preferred embodiment only. Modification of the invention will occur to those skilled in the art and to those who make or use the invention. Therefore, it is understood that the embodiment shown in the drawings and described above is merely for illustrative purposes and not intended to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the following claims as interpreted according to the principles of patent law, including the doctrine of equivalents.
