Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a sterilization sieve tray / sterilization sieve basket / sterilization basket tray / sieve basket tray, in particular a sterilization sieve tray, which is designed and constructed for insertion into and removal from a container tank, for which at least one, preferably arcuate or lever-shaped, sieve tray handle is movably, in particular pivotably, mounted on at least one sieve tray side wall, which sieve tray handle has a holding section for manual gripping, which holding section is connected via a connection strip, which is oriented at an angle to the holding section, to a bearing section, on which the sieve tray handle is held on a bearing on the sieve tray wall side and can be moved, in particular pivoted, into at least one (first) handling position / handling state / gripping position and into one (second) fixed position / fixed state / locked position. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a sterilization sieve tray system and to a sterile container system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In medical care, medical products which come into direct contact with the human body pose a special infection risk to the patient. In order to protect the patient as well as possible from infections caused by medical products, high demands are placed on the hygienic condition of the medical products. For critical medical products, sterility requirements apply, in which a sterile medical product is free of viable organisms, including free of viable moulds. In order to be reused, the products are subjected to a corresponding treatment and sterilization.

[0003] Conventional sterilization methods are, for example, heat sterilization methods, by wet heating or by hot air, low-temperature gas methods, such as the ethylene oxide method, or disinfection methods using aqueous solutions. In these methods, the (heat-resistant) medical products are placed in a sterilization sieve basket / sterilization sieve tray / sterilization basket tray / sieve basket tray and subjected to the corresponding treatment process for sterilization.

[0004] In order to prevent light or small instruments from being thrown out of the sterilization sieve tray, especially during rinsing, or from unintentionally detaching due to other circumstances, and in order to prevent medical products from falling out during transport in the sterile barrier system or on the transport trolley, the sterilization sieve tray is usually provided with a related, matching sieve tray cover and together forms a sterilization sieve tray system. This sieve tray cover encloses the sterilization sieve tray and prevents medical products from falling out of the sterilization sieve tray due to geometric reasons. In the sterilization sieve tray system with the sterilization sieve tray, a sieve tray cover is usually placed or laid loosely over the sterilization sieve tray. The two pivotable sieve tray handles or handles of the sterilization sieve tray, which are mounted on two mutually opposite inner side surfaces of the sterilization sieve tray and are in a pivoted position (grip position or carrying position) facing away from the upper part of the sterilization sieve tray when the sieve tray cover is laid on, which positions allow the sieve tray cover to be laid on, are pivoted down onto the laid-on sieve tray cover and finally rest loosely on the sieve tray cover.

[0005] According to the prior art, the sterilization sieve tray or the sterilization sieve tray system is used to receive medical or surgical instruments in the entire sterile article cycle, which are packed into a sterile barrier system on the clean side of a medical product preparation unit (AEMP, previously also called central sterile supply department) during the packing process, wherein as a sterile barrier system a container / sterile container is usually used. One such sterile container comprises a container bowl and a matching container cover, wherein in the container cover a filter is usually inserted into an opening of the container cover in order to provide a defined connection to the outside environment with an intermediate connection of the filter relative to the otherwise hermetically closed sterile container. In order to be able to place or arrange the sterilization sieve tray or the sterilization sieve tray system in a sterile container, it is an essential necessity that the sterilization sieve tray has a geometric outer dimension which is smaller than the side of the sterile container, because otherwise the sterilization sieve tray would pile up on the edge of the sterile container. In other words, the sterile container must therefore have such a geometric inner dimension (length, width, height) that the sterilization sieve tray or the sterilization sieve tray system with the corresponding geometric outer dimension can be completely received in the sterile container. In order to be able to smoothly, quickly and effectively load the sterilization sieve tray into the sterile container, a gap between the inner side of the sterile container and the outer side of the sterilization sieve tray is also indispensable.

[0006] However, this peripheral gap between the outer side and the inner side leads to a movement of the sterilization sieve tray in the sterile container and to a corresponding wear of the mutually rubbing faces on the sterilization sieve tray and the sterile container during the transport of the sterile container, for example by vibrations and accelerations. In addition, such a movement can also lead to an unintended sliding of the articles in the sterilization sieve tray, which can in particular ultimately result in damage to the inner articles. Even the (foot) legs mounted on the sieve tray bottom / underside of the sterilization sieve tray cannot completely prevent such a sliding and in addition also wear over time. SUMMARY

[0007] It is therefore an object of the present application to avoid or at least reduce the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular to provide a sterilization sieve tray, a sterilization sieve tray system and a sterile container system which provide scratch protection and transport protection, are simple, safe and comfortable to handle, are particularly well suited for transport and storage and have a long service life and little wear. In particular, they provide the user with the function of placing the sterilization sieve tray well manually into a sterile container and securing and preventing it from slipping relative to the sterile container, and also of removing the sterilization sieve tray again simply, safely and comfortably. In addition, a sieve tray cover should be able to be placed simply and safely onto the sterilization sieve tray, even in the state already placed in the sterile container.

[0008] This object is achieved according to the present application with a sterilization sieve tray of this type, with a sterilization sieve tray system of this type and with a sterile container system of this type.

[0009] The core of the present application therefore provides that a sterilization sieve tray is provided which, as a causal relationship, by movement of a selected sieve tray handle, in particular by manual operation of a holding section, then moves and / or deforms a specially provided and effectively connected or (effectively) coupled securing section and / or pressing section or element, which is particularly suitable as a contact point or contact surface, in the direction out of the sterilization sieve tray. Thus, by movement of the selected sieve tray handle, in particular by movement of the sieve tray handle from a carrying position to a securing position, a securing section and / or pressing section or element which is spaced apart from the holding section and thus different from the holding section is moved and / or deformed in the direction out of the sterilization sieve tray.

[0010] The distance of the holding section from the securing section and / or pressing section or element is therefore provided, as this avoids influences on the manual operation. By means of the distance, an independent function is provided for the respective section. The holding section is provided with the function of manual holding, and the securing section and / or pressing section or element is provided with a different function of securing or pressing.

[0011] Thus, by virtue of the sieve tray handle having a holding section for manual gripping and operation, which is connected and supported via a connecting strip which is oriented at an angle to the holding section, in particular articulated on the sieve tray side wall, and which is connected to the at least one securing section and / or pressing section or element, a configuration is provided with the aid of which the sterilization sieve tray can be brought to rest, pressed, connected on and / or brought closer to an external, i.e. settable outside the sterilization sieve tray, (mating) contact surface, contact point and / or contact system by movement and / or deformation.

[0012] In particular, the width and / or depth of the two diverging sections of the sterilising sieve tray in the handling position / state of the sieve tray handle is smaller than the outer dimensions in the fixed position / state of the sieve tray handle. The two defined, mutually diverging contact points or (contact) surfaces of the sterilising sieve tray can thus change their mutual spacing as a function of the selected movement and thus, as is self-evident, as a function of the position / state of the sieve tray handle. When the mutual spacing is increased, for example, as a result of the sterilising sieve tray being placed in a storage container or a container slot, the contact points or contact surfaces can rest against an inner wall (but at least reduce the clearance on the circumference) and fix and lock the sterilising sieve tray. At least one movable and / or deformable contact point or contact surface here constitutes a fixing section and / or a compression section or element. If, for example, two or more contact points or contact surfaces can be moved and / or deformed by a selected movement and thus in relation to the position of the sieve tray handle in a direction out of the sterilising sieve tray, they can then also constitute a fixing section and / or a compression section or element, respectively.

[0013] In particular, a sterilising sieve tray is provided which has a movable, in particular pivotable, fixing section and / or compression section or element which is in operative connection or coupling with the sieve tray handle and which is particularly suitable for contact with a face, a counter-compression section or counter-compression element or a flat surface. Preferably, the fixing section and / or compression section or element can be arranged in the sieve tray inner volume, i.e. in the sterilising sieve tray, and does not protrude relative to an outer side of the sieve tray wall in the handling position / state and can be moved and / or deformed by a selected movement in a direction out of the sterilising sieve tray for protruding relative to the outer side of the respective sieve tray side wall or at least a section of the outer side in the fixed position / state. The fixing section and / or compression section or element can also already protrude relative to the outer side and can be moved and / or deformed by a selected movement further in a direction out of the sterilising sieve tray. In this way, the - currently increased - dimension of the sterilising sieve tray in a direction, in particular the maximum dimension, can be changed. In this case, it is thus preferred that the - in particular maximum - dimension or spacing between the two mutually diverging outer surfaces of the sterilising sieve tray or of a partial section thereof is increased, so that a (two-sided) compression effect (actio and reactio) is produced in particular in a container slot.

[0014] In other words, the sterilising sieve tray has at least one fixing section and / or compression section or element which is spaced apart from the holding section and which is supported on the at least one sieve tray side wall and can be moved and / or deformed by a selected movement of the sieve tray handle in a direction out of the sterilising sieve tray in order to rest against a container slot.

[0015] By this configuration of the sterilizing sieve tray, simple and effective transport protection and scratch protection can be provided for the user.

[0016] The direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray is here a (any possible) direction which points from the volume inside the sieve tray or which is directed to the outer region of the sterilizing sieve tray. In other words, the direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray points away from the sterilizing sieve tray itself. The direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray is in particular a direction component with a pointing width and / or depth, to generate the effect of changing the point of abutment of the fixing section and / or the compression section or element in the horizontal plane by the movement. In particular, the direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray can be the width direction and / or the depth direction.

[0017] The selected movement is here a specific movement of the sieve tray handle. This selected movement can be for example a pivoting movement, a rotational movement, a linear movement and combinations of these movements. In this case, it is important that the fixing section and / or the compression section or element due to this selected movement can move and / or deform in the direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray by the respective active connection.

[0018] The term carrying position / state describes in this case a (first) position / state of the sieve tray handle in which the sterilizing sieve tray 1 can be well manually grasped and carried by the user. In particular, the sieve tray handle extends vertically upwards relative to the sterilizing sieve tray so that the user can easily grasp the sieve tray handle, preferably from above, and hold it in a lifted state.

[0019] The term fixing position / state / expanded state, on the other hand, describes a second position / state of the sieve tray handle which is different from the first position, in which the fixing section and / or the compression section or element is further moved and / or deformed in the direction out of the sieve tray, in particular the dimension between the two defined contact points or contact surfaces is increased in a direction compared to the carrying position, and in particular fixes the sterilizing sieve tray, for example against slipping, when it is placed in a container slot of a container system. The fixing position is preferably a position of the movable sieve tray handle in which the sieve tray handle extends essentially horizontally and further preferably towards the inside of the sterilizing sieve tray.

[0020] The terms width, depth and height are used below as a direction designation or axes of a Cartesian coordinate system, wherein width and depth are used as usual for a base plane, for example the sieve tray bottom. The terms "upper" and "lower" are used in the height direction, the terms "left" and "right" are used in the width direction and the terms "front" and "rear" are used in the depth direction.

[0021] The advantageous embodiments are described below.

[0022] It is preferred that in the at least one sieve pan (side) wall in the region of the at least one sieve pan handle an opening, in particular a bore, can be configured, through which the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element can be moved and / or deformed by the movement of the selected sieve pan handle in the direction out of the sterilization sieve pan and in particular can protrude outwards in the fixed position relative to the outside. Through the opening a geometric passage / connection between the outside and the sieve pan inner volume is formed, through which in particular the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element can pass (depending on the movement and position of the sieve pan handle). It is preferred that the opening is configured in the form of a rectangular bore with a peripheral edge of the sieve pan wall, which is in particular located on the upper edge section of the sieve pan wall. It is further preferred that the sterilization sieve pan has on two mutually opposite sieve pan walls each an opening for each a fixing section and / or a pressing section or element. In particular the at least one sieve pan wall has a plurality of openings for a plurality of fixing sections and / or pressing sections or elements.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment the sieve pan handle is pivotably articulatedly connected in the manner of a two-sided lever about a rotary articulation with a rotary axis, the sieve pan handle having a fixing section and / or a pressing section or element spaced apart from the rotary axis and - in particular rod-shaped - a holding section spaced apart from the rotary axis for manually holding the sieve pan handle, wherein the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element are arranged on one side of the rotary axis (first side of the lever) and the holding section is arranged on the other side of the rotary axis (second side of the lever), such that a pivotal movement of the holding section results in a co-directional pivotal movement of the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element about the rotary axis. In other words, the sieve pan handle is rotatably / pivotably articulatedly connected about a rotary axis on the sieve pan wall, wherein the holding section is arranged on the first side of the two-sided lever / upper and the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element are arranged on the second side of the two-sided lever (side opposite the first side with respect to the rotary axis). Not only the holding section, but also the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element are arranged spaced apart from the rotary axis. Here, the holding section is arranged and configured for manually grasping and being able to carry the sterilization sieve pan with one hand. If the sieve pan handle is now operated on the holding section and pivoted, this automatically results in a pivotal movement of the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element due to the geometry of the sieve pan handle as a two-sided lever. It is preferred that the holding section is configured in the form of an arc or a lever. It is preferred that the rotary axis is parallel to the associated sieve pan wall (outside) and / or parallel to the sieve pan bottom. As an alternative, a mechanical device, for example a gear transmission ratio, for example in the form of a rack gear, can also be provided between the sieve pan handle and the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element.

[0024] According to another preferred embodiment, the sieve disc handle can be designed in the manner of a straight lever, which, viewed in the direction of the rotational axis, is provided with a holding section, the rotational axis and a fixing section and / or a pressing section or element in the extension of a straight line (similar to a flap). As an alternative or in addition, the perpendicular distance between the holding section (as the line of action of the force) and the rotational axis can be greater than the perpendicular distance between the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element and the rotational axis by a factor of 2 to 6, in particular 3 to 4, in order to form an effective lever arm. As an alternative, the two-armed lever can also be designed in the manner of a bent lever, for example L-shaped, which uses the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element similar to an eccentric.

[0025] If the sieve disc handle has a plurality of fixing sections and / or pressing sections or elements, preferably two or three, it can be advantageous if they have the same perpendicular distance between the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element on the one hand and the rotational axis on the other hand and if they are preferably arranged axially symmetrically, i.e. symmetrically about a symmetry plane perpendicular to the rotational axis. The fixing section and / or the pressing section or element can then distribute the transmission of force over the depth of the sterilisation sieve disc, in this way avoiding local stress concentrations and transmitting the force more uniformly over a larger section due to the increased and distributed surface, better and safer fixing of the sterilisation sieve disc.

[0026] The fixing section and / or the pressing section or element can preferably have a sleeve with inherent elasticity, which preferably has rubber, silicone, in particular foamed silicone, and / or plastic as a material and in particular consists of rubber, silicone, in particular foamed silicone, or plastic, wherein the sleeve is preferably detachably / replacably coupled, in particular can be slipped on and / or clamped, to the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element. The fixing section and / or the pressing section or element can thus have a different material and design in the area of the external contact points than the rest of the sieve disc handle, which for example improves the production process. The sleeve with inherent elasticity makes it possible to compensate for tolerances and to tension the sterilisation disc handle with reliable positioning at the same time, in particular in a fixed position. If the sleeve is detachable, it can be quickly and easily replaced as a wear product. The sleeve can for example be slipped on to the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element and taken off again when required, for example after a predefined time interval or after a certain number of sterilisation processes. The sleeve preferably has a friction coefficient of greater than 0.2, preferably greater than 0.5, in particular preferably greater than 0.7, relative to steel, in particular stainless steel. The sleeve can preferably be sprayed on to the fixing section and / or the pressing section or element.

[0027] The fixing section and / or the compression section or element preferably has a bar-like insertion section with a D-shaped profile or cross-section (circular cross-section cut from the side), the sleeve having a complementary D-shaped through-hole. In this way, the sleeve is held non-rotatably on the insertion section due to the geometry when the sleeve is fitted.

[0028] The sleeve is preferably configured in the manner of a sleeve, but has a cut or chamfered outer side, so that a flat stop surface is configured locally on the radially outer side of the sleeve (D-shaped outer profile, in particular also D-shaped inner profile). This flat stop surface of the cut outer side preferably projects in the fixing position in the width direction and / or the depth direction, in particular as the locally outermost side of the sterilization sieve, wherein the stop surface is preferably perpendicular to the sieve bottom (perpendicularly). In particular, the stop surface is parallel to the outer side of the sieve wall in this area in the fixing position.

[0029] According to an aspect of the application, the sterilization sieve can have at least one sieve handle mounting module / sieve handle attachment, which has a bearing, in particular a hinge, a sieve handle supported or hingedly connected in the bearing or hinge, and a mounting structure. The sieve handle mounting module is provided and adapted to be mounted / assembled / fastened in the shape-locked and / or material-bonded manner as a separate and ready-to-mount module on the at least one sieve wall by means of the mounting structure, in particular by means of a screw connection, a rivet connection and / or a welded connection. In this way, the sieve handle mounting module can be produced and replaced separately from the rest of the sterilization sieve. A material different from the sieve bottom and / or the sieve wall can also be used. The sieve bottom and the sieve wall are preferably produced integrally, for example by deep-drawing, so that the sieve handle mounting module can be mounted only on one or two mutually opposite sieve side walls. As an alternative or in addition, the sieve handle mounting module can also be assembled by force fit, for example if the mounting structure is configured as a clamping element. In particular, the sterilization sieve can have sieve handle mounting modules, in particular identical sieve handle mounting modules, on two mutually opposite sides or two mutually opposite sieve walls.

[0030] According to another aspect of the application, the sterilizing sieve tray can have one sieve tray handle on each of two mutually opposite edge sections / edge sections, which is located on the inside and one associated fixing section and / or pressing section or element, in order to be able to be moved and / or deformed by a selected movement, respectively, in mutually opposite directions out of the sterilizing sieve tray, in particular in order to project outwards in two mutually opposite directions relative to the outside of the sieve tray wall in the fixed position. This has the advantage that the sterilizing sieve tray has only a preferably projecting, exposed contact point or contact surface in the defined position, i.e. on the fixing section and / or pressing section or element, and for example comes into contact with a container trough. This minimizes the wear of the remaining sterilizing sieve tray, provides a defined introduction of force on two mutually opposite contact points, in order to tension the sterilizing sieve tray, in particular in the container trough. The two axes of rotation of the sieve tray handle are preferably parallel to one another. The two sieve tray handles are preferably identical components in order to simplify production.

[0031] In particular, the sieve tray bottom is configured in the form of a rectangle, in particular with rounded corners, and the circumferential sieve tray side wall extends along the sieve tray bottom edge and perpendicularly thereto.

[0032] The hinge connection of the sieve tray handle to the sieve tray wall is in particular configured in the form of a hinge. A preferably curved plate is used as a first part of the hinge, which is fixed to the side wall, and a rod-like hinge bearing section of the sieve tray handle has two two-sided, curved sections, which hold the curved plate in between, as a second part of the hinge (in the form of a step).

[0033] The sieve tray handle preferably has a substantially trapezoidal profile, wherein a curved rod with a particularly circular cross-section forms this profile. A short leg forms the holding section here, and the long leg is hingedly connected to the sieve tray wall via a connecting strip oriented at an angle to the holding section and has a displacement in the region of the hinge and / or in the region of the fixing section and / or pressing section or element for spacing the fixing section and / or pressing section or element perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

[0034] The sieve tray handle preferably has two separate fixing sections and / or pressing sections or elements, which in particular have two sleeves, which are arranged between the hinges in the depth direction and have the same distance to the adjacent hinges in the depth direction. In particular, the distance between the rotary hinge - fixing section - fixing section - rotary hinge (in this order) is the same in the width direction and / or the depth direction, respectively.

[0035] Preferably, the sterilization sieve tray has one fixed section and / or one pressing section or element each, which is arranged centrally on two mutually opposite sieve tray walls, viewed in the depth direction. Alternatively, the sterilization sieve tray can also have fixed sections and / or pressing sections or elements which are arranged diagonally opposite each other, with the respective fixed sections and / or pressing sections or elements being arranged offset in the depth direction. In particular, the sterilization sieve tray can have exactly two fixed sections and / or pressing sections or elements which are diagonally opposite each other on the edge section, viewed in plan view. Preferably, the sieve tray handle is one and the same component.

[0036] Preferably, the fixed section and / or the pressing section can be a rod-shaped section which extends over at least 30%, preferably over 50%, of the depth of the sterilization sieve tray.

[0037] Preferably, the sieve tray handle can have a camshaft section / section in the shape of a camshaft, on one of whose longitudinal axes a fixed section and / or a pressing section or element is arranged, and on the other longitudinal axis a hinge-like section of the sieve tray handle is arranged. In this way, in particular only the fixed section and / or the pressing section or element projects, and the opening in the sieve tray wall can be kept to a minimum. It is also possible for the sleeve to be slid along one longitudinal axis.

[0038] Preferably, the element can be a deformable element, in particular an elastic cushion, which preferably has an elastomer as a material, or even consists entirely of an elastomer. Further preferably, the cushion can be a rubber pad or a silicone pad. In particular, the silicone pad can consist entirely of silicone (full silicone). Preferably, the deformable element can be deformed in the direction out of the sterilization sieve tray by targeted compression by means of a mechanical device when a movement of the sieve tray handle is selected, in particular when moving from the transport position to the fixed position. In particular, the sieve tray handle can press on one side or position of the cushion due to the geometry when a movement thereof is selected and thus press the cushion into another position, in order to deform the deformable element in the direction out of the sterilization sieve tray.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the sieve tray handle can be supported on the sieve tray wall in such a way that it can move linearly in one direction or along one axis. Preferably, the sieve tray handle can be supported on the sieve tray wall in such a way that it can move linearly in the vertical direction (height direction; upwards / downwards). In particular, the sieve tray handle, preferably the connecting strip, can have a limit stop cooperating with the associated support structure for limiting the linear movement in at least one direction. Preferably, the connecting strip has two limit stops for limiting the linear movement of the sieve tray handle between a first position (in particular the handling position) and a second position (in particular the fixed position). A deformable, resilient cushion can be supported on the sieve tray wall, preferably in the region of an opening, which cooperates with the sieve tray handle. The sterilization sieve tray is preferably configured in such a way that, upon selection of the linear movement of the sieve tray handle, the sieve tray handle is pressed / pushed against a predefined position of the resilient cushion and deforms this cushion against its elastic pretension in the direction of the outside. In particular, the sieve tray handle is out of contact with the resilient cushion in the handling position and in direct contact with it in the fixed position. Preferably, the sieve tray handle is configured in the shape of a U with two mutually parallel extending sections as connecting strips (long sides of the U) and a holding section (short side of the U) arranged between these sections. This U-shaped sieve tray handle preferably passes through a guide hole or a long borehole along the preferably height direction or through two mutually spaced, however coaxial (guide) holes or boreholes with its two parallel connecting strips, respectively, thus constituting a linear guide (similar to a pin) of the handle. The resilient cushion is here in particular arranged in the same position as the connecting strips, respectively, viewed in the depth direction, however more outwardly viewed in the width direction, so that upon movement, in particular downward movement, of the sieve tray handle, the connecting strips press directly onto the resilient cushion and, due to the geometric configuration, extrude this cushion outwardly. Preferably, the resilient cushion, in particular together with the bearing, can be at least partially surrounded by a housing relative to the internal volume of the sieve tray, in order to thus protect the mechanical device from damaging influences, such as sliding parts.

[0040] The resilient cushioning, viewed in particular in longitudinal section, has a triangular shape as a basic shape, with preferably rounded-off corners. This triangular shape forms a base surface of a block which extends in particular in the depth direction of the sieve tray. The resilient cushioning is fastened, held or supported on the sieve tray wall in particular in such a way that, in the undeformed state, one (for example the long) side or side surface of the triangular cushioning lies along the height direction and / or parallel to the associated sieve tray side wall section. In this way, the sieve tray can be placed well in a container tank in the undeformed state. If the handle is displaced by a selected movement, the connecting strip is pressed as a result onto the other inclined side surface of the triangular cushioning, which acts as a ramp, and in this way presses the cushioning, in particular at the upper end, which is fastened to the inner wall side of the sieve tray, outwards. In this case, the cushioning is elastically rotated and deformed in the depth direction about an axis. If the handle is moved back up again with one or more connecting strips, the pressing force disappears again and the cushioning returns to its original, undeformed state. As an alternative, the cushioning can also be rotatably supported about an axis and moved back into its initial state by its own weight.

[0041] The bearing is preferably a profiled sheet metal component which has at least two parallel plate sections which extend in the width direction and the depth direction and each have coaxial and in particular congruent bores or drilled holes, in particular with a bore axis in the height direction, so that a connecting strip of the handle can move linearly in these (guide) holes. The bores are preferably configured to be non-rotationally symmetrical in order to prevent rotation and tilting and for example to make a limit stop possible.

[0042] The object of the application in the case of a sterilization sieve tray system of this type is achieved according to the application by the sterilization sieve tray system having a sterilization sieve tray cover and a sterilization sieve tray according to the application. The sterilization sieve tray cover can in particular have a substantially plate-like or grid-like basic shape which defines an upper side and is preferably coordinated with the sterilization sieve tray in such a way that, together with the sieve tray handle, it provides a closure mechanism.

[0043] The object of the application in the context of a container system of this type is achieved according to the application by the container system having a container / aseptic container and a sterilizing sieve tray according to the application. The aseptic container can also be an arbitrary, conventional or generally known container, which here has a container bowl and, in addition, preferably a container lid which matches the container bowl for delimiting the inner volume of the container relative to the surroundings. The aseptic container can also have a filter on the side of the container bowl and / or on the side of the container lid. The sterilizing sieve tray is particularly suitable for being able to be placed into the container bowl of the container, wherein the fixing sections and / or the pressing sections or elements lie directly against the inner wall of the container bowl (are in contact with the inner wall) in the fixing position and tension the sterilizing sieve tray on the container bowl (in at least one direction), so that the sterilizing sieve tray is positioned and locked in the container. The sterilizing sieve tray thus has an outer dimension which is smaller than the inner dimension of the container bowl in order to be able to be placed into the container bowl. A (small) gap between the inner wall of the container bowl and the side wall of the sterilizing sieve tray is thus formed on the circumference, which allows the sterilizing sieve tray to move in the container bowl. If one or more sieve tray handles are now moved as desired, however, the fixing sections and / or the pressing sections or elements move and / or deform in a direction out of the sterilizing sieve tray and then in the direction of the container bowl, directly into contact with the inner wall of the aseptic container as a result of the effective connection with the one or more fixing sections and / or the pressing sections or elements. If, for example, one sieve tray handle is provided on two mutually opposite edge sections of the sieve tray wall, these sieve tray handles use the fixing sections and / or the pressing sections or elements to expand the sterilizing sieve tray to a certain extent relative to the mutually opposite inner walls of the container bowl and to fix the sterilizing sieve tray in the container. The container bowl and the sterilizing sieve tray are thus matched in terms of geometry in such a way that this expansion function, pressing function or tensioning function is achieved.

[0065] Figures 1 to 7 A sterilization sieve tray 1 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present application (hereinafter simply referred to as sieve tray) is shown, which is designed and configured for placing into and removing from a container system and which is currently already placed (cf. Fig. 1) or can be placed into a (sterile) container system 100 of the present application according to a preferred embodiment. Figures 5 to 7

[0066] The sieve tray 1 has a planar / flat, corner-rounded, grid-like square sieve tray bottom 2, which is completely surrounded by four grid-like sieve tray walls 3, which have the same height on the circumference and extend perpendicular to the sieve tray bottom 2. The sieve tray bottom 2 and the sieve tray walls 3 here determine the sieve tray inner volume V or the sieve tray interior, which can receive, for example, medical or surgical instruments and can be provided for sterilization.

[0067] ​Furthermore, the sterilization sieve tray 2 has two pivotable lever-shaped sieve tray handles 5 which are located on the inside of the upper edge sections of the sieve tray wall 3 opposite one another and which can each be pivoted independently of one another into at least one handling position / state and one securing position / state. Each of the two sieve tray handles 5 has a holding section 7 which is connected to a bearing section / hinge section 11 of the sieve tray handle 7 via a connecting strip 18 which is oriented at an angle to the holding section 7.

[0068] According to the application, the sieve tray 1 has on each of the two sieve tray handles 5 (hereinafter referred to as handle) a fixed section 6 which is spaced apart from the holding section 7 and which is effectively connected / coupled and movable, in particular pivotable, and which can be moved and / or deformed in the direction out of the sieve tray 1 by a movement of the selected handle 5 from the handling position to the securing position.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fixed section 6 is arranged in the handling position in the sieve tray inner volume V and does not protrude relative to the outer side of the sieve tray wall 3, wherein the fixed section 6 is moved in the direction out of the sterilization sieve tray upon a movement of the selected handle 5 from the handling position to the securing position and protrudes in the securing position of the handle 5 relative to the outer side 4 of the sieve tray wall 3 in order to abut. In particular, in this embodiment, the two handles 5 are identical components and are each designed as a two-sided lever which, in addition to the (pivotable) holding section 7 for manually grasping the handle 5, has the fixed section 6 as a structural section and can be pivoted about a rotation axis 8.

[0070] Thus, a structural section of the handle 5 which is designed as one piece, namely the fixed section 6, is configured such that it lies in the sieve tray inner volume in the handling position in which the lever-shaped handle 5 stands essentially vertically upwards and can be grasped from above by the user with the hand for the purpose of taking the sieve tray 1 out of and placing it into a container trough 101 and does not protrude relative to the associated sieve tray wall 3 or outer surface 4. In the placement state in which the sieve tray 1 is placed in a container trough 101, an outer peripheral gap 103 is formed between the inner wall 104 of the container trough 101 and the side wall 3 or the outer surface 4 delimited by the side wall (see Figures 5 to 7 ). This outer peripheral gap 103 makes it possible to handle the sieve tray 1 well, in particular to take it out and slide it easily, also in the width direction and in the depth direction.

[0071] If now, in the placement state, a movement of the selected handle 5 (see Figure 2 left) or of both handles 5 (see Figure 6 , 7) pivoting about the axis of rotation 8, the lever configuration of the two sides of the handle 5 causes the holding section 7 to pivot inwards into the sieve disc volume V, while the fixed section 6, which is opposite the holding section 7, simultaneously and in the same direction pivots out of the opening 9 in the associated sieve disc wall 3 about the axis of rotation 8 and away from the sieve disc 1 and projects relative to the outer surface 4 (in the width direction). The dimension or spacing between the two mutually facing outer surfaces 4 or the two mutually opposite sieve disc walls 3 is thus increased to some extent. This results in the gap 103, which was previously present over the entire circumference, no longer being present over the entire circumference, but rather to some extent as an interrupted gap 103'. The fixed section 6 interrupts the gap 103' in the fixed position and directly abuts or comes into contact with the inner wall 104 of the container trough 101.

[0072] In the fixed position, the sieve disc 1 is thus fixed and locked in the container trough 101 in at least one direction, here the width direction (parallel to the sieve disc bottom 3), by the (variable) increased width due to the mutually opposite fixed sections 6, as will be explained in more detail below. By virtue of this configuration of the sieve disc 1 according to the application, sliding in the container 101, 102 is prevented and simple and effective transport protection and scratch protection is provided. In addition, good handling of the sieve disc 1 is also ensured and the sieve disc 1 can be easily inserted into the container trough 101 and removed again in the handling position. The switching between the handling position and the fixed position takes place in a particularly simple manner.

[0073] The fixed sections 6 are arranged between the two hinged regions 11 in the depth direction. As an alternative, the fixed sections can of course also be arranged outside or towards the outside relative to the hinged regions 11 in the depth direction.

[0074] The sieve disc walls 3, which are respectively planar, vertical and grid-like on the four sides / edges of the sieve disc bottom 2, have a respective arc-shaped transition region (rounded corner edge) at the corners, which determines an outer side / surface 4 of the sieve disc 1 facing away from the sieve disc inner volume V or the sieve disc bottom 2 or in this embodiment with 2x2 mutually facing outer surfaces 4 (of two mutually opposite sieve disc walls 3) delimiting four outer surfaces 4, which relative to the circumferential region facing the side define the sterilising sieve disc 1. As is shown in particular in Figure 4 The mutually facing outer surfaces 4 each constitute a mutually parallel plane, which extends upwards and downwards along the sieve disc bottom 2 perpendicular to the sieve disc bottom 2.

[0075] In Figures 1 to 7In the first embodiment, the sieve tray 1 is configured to be symmetrical about a vertical (first) symmetry plane S, with a sieve tray handle 5 provided on each side. Therefore, in the following description, it is sufficient to describe only one side of the sterilizing sieve tray 1 in detail. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the sieve tray 1 is also symmetrical about another symmetry plane perpendicular to the first symmetry plane S. Thus, the sieve tray 1 has four (mirror-reflected) quarters.

[0076] The lever-shaped handles 5 on the inner side of the screen wall 3, located on two opposing side surfaces, are rotatably or pivotally hinged about a rotation axis 8 via a hinge-type rotary joint 10. The rotation axis 8 is parallel to the outer surface 4 of the screen wall 3 and the bottom 2 of the screen. The handles 5 can pivot inward from a substantially vertically pointing carrying / grabbing / folding position into the inner volume V of the screen, or vice versa. The lever-shaped handles 5 are located on one side of the screen wall 3 opposite to the bottom 2 of the screen. Figures 1 to 7 The upper section is hinged to the rotary hinge joint 10.

[0077] The handle 5 is a shaped cylindrical metal rod with a circular cross-section. The metal rod is now shaped to form a generally trapezoidal profile. The short base of the trapezoid forms the rod-shaped / cylindrical grip section 7, which always extends in the depth direction of the screen plate 1 (i.e., always parallel to the bottom 2 of the screen plate in all positions / states). The long base of the trapezoid is hinged near two short connecting bars 18 as legs and breaks in the middle. Specifically, the hinged rod-shaped area / bearing section 11 of the long base is shaped to be parallel to the grip section 7, and after this area, a Z-shaped or stepped step / bend / offset 12 is formed in the direction away from the grip section 7 and the axis of rotation 8. This stepped step 12 therefore has two parallel rod-shaped sections (hinged area 12 and fixed section 6) and an inclined section disposed between these two sections. The section at the end of the step 12 is parallel to the grip section 7, the rotation axis 8, and the bottom of the sieve plate 2, and at the same time constitutes the fixing section 6 of the handle 5.

[0078] The fixed section 6 is perpendicularly spaced from the rotation axis 8 by a stepped step 12, forming the second side of the two-sided lever. The entire handle 5 is shaped as follows, or the rod serving as the handle 5 is shaped as follows, meaning the handle lies within a single plane. (If still...) Figure 5As can be seen in the longitudinal section, a straight two-sided lever (a straight line between the fixed section 6, the axis of rotation 8 and the holding section 7, in this order, viewed in the longitudinal section in the width direction / height direction) is formed by the handle 5, which is merely arranged offset along the depth. In other words, the fixed section 6 is constructed on the other side with respect to the axis of rotation 8 in the prolongation of the connection of the holding section 7 and the axis of rotation 8. In this embodiment, the (shortest) perpendicular distance for the lever action between the holding section 7 and the axis of rotation 8 is about four times greater than the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation 8 and the fixed section 6.

[0079] A sleeve 13 made of silicone, in particular foamed silicone, with inherent elasticity, is fitted on the fixed section 6. The tolerance between the inner wall 104 of the container trough 101 and the fixed section 6 is compensated by the sleeve 13. The sleeve 13 is constructed in sleeve form, but has a flattened, planar (radial) inner and outer side (D-shaped). The fixed section 6 of the rod-shaped handle 5 is also ground flat on the side facing away from the holding section 7, so that it also has a D-shaped outer contour 14. The D-shaped sleeve-like sleeve 13 is fitted onto the matching, complementary D-shaped insertion section, so that the rotational freedom of the sleeve 13 is locked. In addition, the sleeve 13 forms a vertical, planar stop face / fixing face 15 in the fixed position, which is parallel to the outer side 4 of the associated sieve wall 3, for planar abutment on the inner wall 104. The coefficient of friction to the inner wall 104 is increased by the silicone sleeve 13. The sleeve 13 as a wear part can also be easily replaced.

[0080] In this embodiment, each of the two handles 5 has two fixed sections 6 at the same perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation 8, which are arranged between the rotary hinges 10, viewed in the depth direction. Each of the four fixed sections 6 has an associated opening 9 in the form of a square-shaped aperture in the sieve wall 3. If the handle 5 is pivoted into the fixed position by the selected movement, the fixed sections 6, together with the sleeve 13, project in the width direction through the openings 9 relative to the outer side 4 in two mutually facing directions and form the maximum dimension of the sieve 1 (see Figure 7 ). The germicidal sieve 1 is thus tensioned in the width direction in the container trough 101 by the fixed sections 6. In addition, the purpose of fixation both in the depth direction and in the height direction is also achieved by the sleeve 13 made of silicone with the resulting high coefficient of friction and the stop face 15.

[0081] In the sieve pan bottom 2 as well as in the sieve pan walls 3 a large number of square openings and longitudinal slits are punched, in order to establish a fluid flow connection between the inner side and the outer side 4, so that the outer side 4 is in particular water vapor-permeable. As material, the sieve pan bottom 2 and the sieve pan walls 3 have aluminum and / or stainless steel.

[0082] In this embodiment, the sieve basket 1 has a sieve basket handle mounting module 16 comprising a mounting structure. The sieve basket handle mounting module 16 with the swivel joint 10, the handle 5 and the mounting structure is here produced as a separate module, which is then riveted to the remaining sieve basket 1, i.e. to the sieve pan bottom 2 and the sieve pan walls 3. The swivel joint 10 is designed as a plate element that is bent around the swivel axis 8, through which the hinged region 11 of the handle 5 passes. The sieve basket handle mounting module 16 can be constructed with a material that is different from the remaining sieve basket 1, for example, and be assembled separately in advance, which improves the production process.

[0083] Figures 8 to 10 A further second preferred embodiment of the sieve basket 1 is shown, which has a rectangular sieve pan bottom 2.

[0084] Figure 11 A further third preferred embodiment of the sieve basket 1 is shown. The two handles 5 arranged on mutually opposite sieve pan walls 3 are identical components. However, in contrast to the first embodiment, only one fixing section 6 is configured on each handle 5. The second, stepped step with the associated fixing section is omitted. The one fixing section 6 is not arranged in the center of the handle 5, but offset therefrom, viewed in the depth direction. Only one associated square opening is provided as an opening 9 in the sieve pan wall 3, respectively. The two fixing sections 6 are located at the same position in the depth direction.

[0085] Figure 12 A further fourth preferred embodiment of the sieve basket 1 and a container system 100 with two fixing sections 6 that are diagonally opposite one another is shown. The two handles 5 are again shaped identically and arranged on mutually opposite sieve pan walls 3. The handles 5 are identical to the handles of the embodiments in Figure 11 , with the difference that one handle 5 is rotated by 180° around a vertical axis and then hingedly connected to the sieve pan wall 3, so that the fixing sections 6 and the openings 9 are diagonally opposite one another in the top view in Figure 12 .

[0086] Figure 13A further fifth preferred embodiment of the sieve tray 1 is shown, in which the lever-shaped ladder handle 5 is now configured through-going rod-shaped on its long bottom and only a central rod section as a ladder-shaped step 12 is set back from the rotational axis 8 opposite the holding section 7, similar to a bulge. The central section as a fixing section 6 again has a clippable or sprayed-on jacket 13.

[0087] Figure 14 A further sixth preferred embodiment of the sieve tray 1 is shown, in which each handle 5 has three uniformly distributed fixing sections 6 along the depth direction, which each have a jacket 13 and keep the same perpendicular distance to the rotational axis 8. The sieve tray 1 accordingly has three complementary square-shaped openings as openings 9 on two mutually opposite sieve tray walls 3. The long bottom of the ladder-shaped lever handle 5 is here configured camshaft-like with three ladder-shaped steps 12.

[0088] Figure 15 A further seventh preferred embodiment of the sieve tray 1 is shown, which has two mutually opposite, jacket-free handles 5. The long bottom of the ladder-shaped and lever-shaped handle 5 is designed through-going, with two ladder-shaped steps 12 each directly set back from the two rotational hinges 10 sideways opposite the rotational axis 8. As an alternative, it can also be said that the hinge-like area 11 of the handle is offset opposite the long bottom of the ladder in the direction of the short bottom. The long rod section between the hinge-like areas 11 is here configured as a fixing section 6. The two mutually opposite openings 9 in the sieve tray wall 3 are designed as elongated rectangular openings along the depth direction in this embodiment, which extend approximately within 50% of the depth of the sieve tray 1. On the long, rod-shaped, protruding fixing section 6 in the fixing position, a vertical flat stop face 15 is provided laterally along the width direction, so that the fixing section 6 has a D-shaped contour. The flat stop face 15 is parallel to the respective outer side 4 in the fixing position and constitutes the laterally outermost, elongated (contact) face along the depth direction on the upper edge section of the sieve tray 1.

[0089] Figure 16A schematic partial longitudinal section view shows a further seventh preferred embodiment of the sieve tray 1 of the application, which has an elastic soft pad, here a rubber pad 19, as a fixing section and / or a compression section or element, which is deformed outwards by a mechanical device by targeted pressing upon selection of the movement of the sieve tray handle 5 from the transport position into the fixing position. The rubber pad 19 is here fixed on the sieve tray side wall 3 and in the fixing position projects partially through the opening 9 towards the outside 4 towards the container trough 101. As a mechanical device, it is currently provided that the handle 5 as a two-sided L-shaped lever has a 90° curved pressing arm 20, which in the fixing position points inwards or downwards towards the sieve tray 1. Upon selection of the movement of the handle 5 into the fixing position, the pressing arm 20 due to the geometry presses on one side / position of the rubber pad 19 for building up a pressure upon continued selected movement of the handle 5 and thus deforms the rubber pad 19 targetedly outwards towards the container trough 101 in order to lie there against. In particular, the sieve tray 1 is configured such that the handle 5 can be fixed in the fixing position. By the deformation outwards, the sieve tray 1 is tensioned in the container trough 101 in the width direction.

[0090] Figures 17 to 20 A further eighth preferred embodiment of the sieve tray 1 is shown, in which as a fixing element an elastic full silicone pad 19 is provided. The (inverted) U-shaped handle 5 is movably supported on two bearings on the sieve tray inner wall side, can be pushed upwards into the transport position and downwards into the fixing position. The bearings are here configured in the form of a shaped sheet metal component, which has two mutually parallel arranged plate sections 22, in which coaxial and congruent guide holes 23 are configured, whose common axis extends in the height direction. Each guide hole 23 as a profile has a side cut-off round or an open hole profile with a straight bottom side and the connected partial round. A connecting strip 18 of the handle 5 is respectively located in the (two) guide holes 23. The U-shaped handle 5, which is formally a curved cylindrical rod, has a round cross section, wherein on the so-called movement section (section which is guided in and interacts with the bearing) of the connecting strip 18 a bevel or straight flat milling is configured along the longitudinal axis, which complements the guide hole 23. By this configuration, a limit stop 24 (projecting round cross section relative to the bevelled movement section) is respectively created above and below the bevel, so that the sliding movement of the handle between the transport position and the fixing position is limited. It can also be said that the handle 5 via the connecting strip 18 and the guide hole can move linearly in the manner of a sliding bearing pin.

[0091] Furthermore, on the inside of the screen deck, at the same height as the associated connecting strip 18, however further towards the outside of the screen deck 1 as viewed in the width direction, there is provided a soft pad 19. The respective upper section of this soft pad 19 is fastened to a housing 21 provided on the inside of the screen deck, which housing 21 encloses the mechanical device and delimits it with respect to the inner volume V. The soft pad 19 is decisive here at its upper end, where it is fastened to the housing 21 and thus to the screen deck side wall 3 (i.e. locally fixed), as can be seen in particular in the front view or longitudinal section view in Figure 20 . The soft pad 19 has a triangular basic shape and extends in the depth direction in a block-like manner. In the un-deformed state (the handle 5 is lifted upwards into the carrying position; see the right-hand side in Figure 17 , 18 , one of the three side surfaces of the respective soft pad 19 protrudes slightly through the opening 9 and thus with respect to the screen deck wall 3 and extends parallel to the screen deck wall 3. In an alternative, not shown embodiment, this side surface can also be provided flush with the screen deck side wall 3 or inside the screen deck 1 without protruding.

[0092] If the handle 5 is now pushed from the carrying position (see the right-hand side in Figure 17 , 18 ) into the securing position (see the left-hand side in Figure 17 , 18 ), then in this selected movement the respective free lower end of the connecting strip 18 hits onto the (other) inclined side surface of the associated triangular (wedge-shaped) soft pad 19. This inclined side surface acts as a ramp and, as a result of the movement, presses the elastic soft pad 19, against its elastic return force and its own weight, outwards through the opening 9. The soft pad 19 can be said to pivot or deform outwards like a rigid rocker with an elastic rotary hinge. In this way, the soft pad 19 can be deformed by the selected movement of the handle 5 through the opening 9 in the direction out of the screen deck 1. They locally (wedge-shaped) protrude with respect to the screen deck side wall 3. The soft pad 19 then rests against the inner wall of the container trough and secures the screen deck 1. As can be seen for example in Figure 20 , the soft pad 19 cannot be moved back in the width direction into the interior of the screen deck 1 even in the securing position. The connecting strip 18, which moves in the height direction and rests against the back of the soft pad 19, limits the degree of freedom in the width direction geometrically.

[0093] If the handle is now lifted again from the securing position to the carrying position against its own weight and the friction of the resting soft pad 19, the pressing force exerted by the handle 5 onto the soft pad 19 is released, and the soft pad 19 moves back into its un-deformed initial state. The screen deck 1 is then no longer secured in the container trough and can be removed therefrom.
