Description

[0001] Medical organization system and display device for a medical organization system

[0002] The present invention relates to a display device for a medical organization system for storing medical articles in organization boxes, wherein the display device is designed and provided for attachment to an outer side, in particular a front side, of an organization box for medical articles and wherein the display device is designed to display an actual number of medical articles contained in the organization box.

[0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a medical organization system for storing medical articles in organization boxes, wherein the organization system comprises at least one organization box, in particular a plurality of organization boxes, wherein the at least one organization box defines a receiving space for receiving at least one medical article, in particular a plurality of medical articles, and wherein the at least one organization box has a plurality of sides, in particular an end side.

[0004] Hospitals, in particular, utilize warehouse management systems for the use of medical items, such as consumables such as threads or cannulas. Medical items are stored in containers called organization boxes in a warehouse. With existing solutions, a display device assigned to the organization box can, for example, show the actual number of medical items contained in the organization box. Depending on the actual inventory, any items no longer in stock are then reordered and, upon arrival, refilled into the appropriate organization box. Monitoring the organization boxes of the type described above, as well as reordering used medical items, is complex.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a medical organization system and a display device for a medical organization system of the type described above.

[0006] This object is achieved according to the invention in a display device of the type described above in that the display device comprises a first display window for displaying the actual number of medical articles accommodated in the organization box in a first display form, a second display window for displaying the actual number of medical articles accommodated in the organization box in a second display form which differs from the first display form, and at least one display element which carries a plurality of possible actual values ​​in the first display form, that the at least one display element carries a plurality of possible actual values ​​in the second display form and that the at least one display element is movably mounted on the display device and can be moved manually into a display position in which only a single actual value of the plurality of possible actual values,which corresponds to the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box, in the first display format in the first display window and only a single actual value of the plurality of possible actual values, which corresponds to the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box, in the second display format in the second display window.

[0007] Such a display device can be used to advantageously improve warehouse management, particularly for medical items. The display device enables a user to set an actual number of medical items contained in the organization box. After the corresponding setting has been made, the actual number is then displayed in two display windows, in two different formats. One format can, for example, be a number that can be directly read by a person, while the second format can be a machine-readable code. This allows both a user and a corresponding reading device to quickly and easily read the respective actual number from the display device. The display device translates the actual number set by the user into a machine-readable code, which is displayed in one of the two display windows.This code can then be read automatically using a corresponding reader. If additional information is recorded using a reader, for example a target number of medical items that can be stored in the organization box, then a reorder run to refill the respective organization box can be automatically triggered. In this way, a time-consuming reordering process and manual recording of inventory can be avoided and at least partially automated. The display device can, in particular, comprise only a single display element. However, it can also comprise two or more display elements. If two or more display elements are provided, they are advantageously mechanically coupled to one another so that, in particular, a movement of one of the two or more display elements automatically leads to a corresponding movement of the other display element(s).In particular, possible actual values ​​in the first display form can be arranged or configured on a different display element than possible actual values ​​in the second display form. A display device designed as proposed can, in particular, be designed purely mechanically. No batteries or any other type of energy or power supply are required to display the actual number of medical articles contained in the organization box. It can therefore be implemented cost-effectively and, in particular, can also be designed in an environmentally friendly form. Furthermore, such a display device is maintenance-free, since, in particular, no energy supply is required to operate it, in particular no battery, so that no battery replacement is necessary. For example, the display device can be made entirely of paper or cardboard and is therefore fully recyclable.The majority of possible actual values ​​can, in particular, be ten different digits, for example the digits from 0 to 9. For example, a maximum number of nine medical items that can be accommodated in an organization box can be displayed with the display device. Of course, it is also conceivable to provide a number smaller than 9 as the largest actual value. In other words, the majority of possible actual values ​​can also comprise a smaller number of actual values, for example all natural numbers from 1 to 5 plus the number 0. It is of course also possible to equip the display device with a larger number of actual values, in particular with two-digit digits, if a larger number of medical items can be accommodated in the organization box.The first and second display windows can, in particular, be spatially separated from one another or connected to one another, for example, directly adjacent to one another. Possible configurations include, in particular, cutouts or openings in a display device housing of the display device. Thus, the first and second display windows can be formed by a common cutout, incision, or opening, or by two separate cutouts, incisions, or two openings. They do not need to be individually framed by separate frames or frame lines.

[0008] It is advantageous if the display device comprises a label holder for receiving at least one label bearing target data characterizing the contents of the organization box. In particular, the target data can be a target number of medical articles that can be accommodated in the organization box. This configuration enables the display device to be used universally, regardless of the shape and size of the organization box. Using a suitable label that can be received in the label holder, corresponding reference data, namely target data characterizing the contents of the organization box, can then be attached to the display device. This makes it possible, in particular, to use a reader to read not only the actual number displayed in the display windows, but also corresponding reference data from the label.For example, inventory levels can be determined directly using the reader or a downstream data processing unit. Necessary reorders of certain medical items that are no longer available in sufficient quantities can then be triggered semi-automatically or fully automatically.

[0009] To ensure easy and reliable reading of a label, it is advantageous if the label holder is designed in the form of a transparent insert pocket or in the form of an insert pocket with at least two mutually facing guide grooves for receiving two parallel longitudinal edges of a label. In particular, a label can be easily inserted into an insert pocket. The insert pocket can, for example, protect the label with a transparent cover on a front side. The transparent insert pocket can also protect the label, in particular, from dirt and damage.

[0010] The display device can be easily handled if the at least one display element is designed in the form of a turntable mounted on the display device so that it can rotate about a rotation axis. The actual number of medical items contained in the organization box can then be set by a user simply by turning the turntable on the display device. In particular, the user can turn the turntable so that the actual number of medical items actually contained in the organization box is displayed in the display windows. As explained, this is directly recognizable to the user in one of the two display windows if the actual number is presented in a form that they can read, for example a numerical representation.In order to enable the display device to be as flat and compact as possible, it is advantageous if the axis of rotation runs transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to a front side of the display device.

[0011] According to a further preferred embodiment, the display device can be designed in the form of a flat cuboid with a thickness corresponding to a distance between a front and a rear side of the display device. This allows for the realization of a display device with a small footprint.

[0012] It is advantageous if the first display window and the second display window are arranged or formed on the front of the display device and if the front side covers the other possible actual values ​​of the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the first display form and in the second display form, except for the actual number displayed in the first display window and in the second display window in the display position. This configuration of the front of the display device makes it possible, in particular, to reliably read the actual number that a user has set. The actual number is only visible in the two display windows, and specifically in both display forms. This makes it easy to avoid errors when determining the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box.

[0013] As explained above, it is possible to form the first and the second display window connected to one another, for example as a single cutout or a single opening on a display device housing of the display device, so that mutually associated actual values ​​in the first and second display forms are visible together therein.However, it is advantageous if the first display window and the second display window on the display device are spatially separated from one another, if the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the first form of representation on the at least one display element is arranged or formed on a first circle with a first radius, in particular evenly distributed over a circumference of the first circle, if the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the second form of representation on the at least one display element is arranged or formed on a second circle with a second radius, in particular evenly distributed over a circumference of the second circle, and if the first radius and the second radius differ from one another.This design, particularly the structural separation of the first and second display windows, ensures that actual values ​​from different display formats cannot be displayed in the same display window. Rather, it ensures that possible actual values ​​in one display format are displayed exclusively in one of the two display windows, and actual values ​​in the other display format are displayed exclusively in the other display window. This makes it easy to prevent errors when setting the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box.

[0014] Preferably, the rotation axis defines the center points of the first circle and / or the second circle. In this way, the display device can be implemented particularly simply and cost-effectively. In particular, a simple assignment between the possible actual values ​​arranged or formed on the at least one display element in the two display forms can be assigned to only one of the two display windows.

[0015] For simple and safe handling of the display device, it is advantageous if the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the first display form and the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the second display form are arranged or designed so as to be associated with one another on at least one display element in such a way that the at least one display element can be positioned in the display position in such a way that the actual number is displayed in the first display window in the first display form and in the second display window in the second display form. The plurality of possible actual values ​​in the two display forms can in principle be realized in a wide variety of ways on at least one display element. The possible actual values ​​in the two display forms are assigned depending on the spatial arrangement of the two display windows.

[0016] Depending on the size and design of the display device, it may be advantageous if the first display window and the second display window, when the display device is used as intended, are arranged or formed one above the other in a line parallel to the direction of gravity or next to one another in a line transverse, in particular perpendicular, to the direction of gravity. In particular, the two display windows can be positioned such that they are positioned along an edge of a label, which is inserted, for example, in a label holder of the display device. This makes it easy to arrange a target number and an actual number directly next to one another and to make them easily and reliably readable for a user.

[0017] It is advantageous if the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the first display form are arranged or configured in the circumferential direction relative to the rotation axis, and if the plurality of possible actual values ​​in the second display form are arranged or configured on at least one display element offset in the radial direction and / or circumferential direction relative to the rotation axis relative to the respective corresponding actual values ​​in the first display form. Depending on the offset in the radial and / or circumferential direction, corresponding actual values ​​can thus be displayed simultaneously and reliably for a user in display windows positioned differently on the display device.

[0018] It is advantageous if mutually assigned actual values ​​in the first form of representation and in the second form of representation are arranged or formed on first and second radial rays emanating from the axis of rotation and if the first and second radial rays enclose an angle between them with a value in a range from 0° to a maximum value. For example, mutually assigned actual values ​​can be arranged offset in the radial direction without offset in the circumferential direction on the display element if the display windows are arranged or formed one above the other in a line parallel to the direction of gravity during normal use of the display device. For all other positioning of the display windows on the display device, an offset of the radial rays in the circumferential direction by an angle which deviates from 0° is provided.

[0019] Preferably, the maximum value is 180° or corresponds to the quotient of 360° and the number of all possible actual values ​​in the first display format. An angle of 180° between two radial rays corresponds to an opposite orientation of the same. For example, actual values ​​can be arranged or formed in a line perpendicular to the direction of gravity during the intended use of the display device. In particular, the display windows can be arranged or formed diametrically opposite one another with respect to a rotational axis of the display element.

[0020] According to a further preferred embodiment, the display device can be provided with at least one label bearing target data characterizing the target contents of the organization box, in particular a target quantity of medical articles that can be accommodated in the organization box. The target data, in particular the target quantity, is at least partially indicated in both the first and second display formats. Such labels allow a user to directly read the target quantity, but also to automatically capture it, for example, using a reader capable of reading a machine-readable code.

[0021] For simple and clear handling of the display device, it is advantageous if the target data in the first display format is spatially assigned to the first display window and / or if the target data in the second display format is assigned to the second display window. For example, the respective target data can be positioned directly next to the respective display window, allowing the user to directly compare target and actual values.

[0022] According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the first form of representation comprises numeric characters, in particular only one numeric character for each of the possible actual values ​​and in particular in the form of Arabic numerals, and that the second form of representation comprises a machine-readable numeric character, in particular in the form of a data matrix code or a bar code. Such a display device enables a user, in particular, to directly read the actual values ​​displayed in the first display window. The machine-readable code can then be automatically scanned by a user using a reader, for example.

[0023] It is advantageous if the display device comprises a positioning device for the defined positioning of the at least one display element in a plurality of defined positioning positions, in particular in a plurality of defined rotational positions relative to the rotation axis, and if the display element assumes one of the plurality of possible display positions in at least some of the plurality of defined positioning positions. With such a positioning device, it is particularly possible to move the display element in a grid-like manner into a specific number of discrete positioning positions. The number of these discrete or defined positioning positions can, in particular, correspond to the plurality of possible display positions.Such a positioning device makes it easier for a user to handle the display device, since the at least one display element can only be brought into preferred positions, namely the defined or discrete positioning positions, in which the at least one display element can remain safely without the influence of additional external forces.

[0024] Preferably, the number of the plurality of defined rotary positions corresponds to an integer multiple of the plurality of defined display positions. 1 is also a whole number, so the number of the plurality of defined rotary positions can also correspond to the plurality of defined display positions. However, three times as many rotary positions as defined display positions can also be provided.

[0025] It is advantageous if the positioning device comprises cooperating first and second positioning members, if at least one first positioning member is arranged or formed on the display device and if at least one second positioning member is arranged or formed on at least one display element. On the display device can mean in particular that the at least one first positioning member is arranged or formed on a display device housing of the display device. It is therefore advantageous if the cooperating positioning members are movable relative to one another. For example, first positioning members can be arranged immovably on a display device housing, the at least one second positioning member or at least one second positioning member on at least one display element.

[0026] A number of defined or discrete rotational positions can be specified in a simple manner if a number of the first and / or second positioning elements corresponds to an integer multiple of a number of the majority of possible actual values.

[0027] The at least one display element can be positioned in a defined manner in a simple manner if the first and / or second positioning members are designed in the form of teeth that engage with one another in the plurality of defined display positions.

[0028] To support positioning of the at least one display element in a defined or discrete positioning position, it is advantageous if the first and / or second positioning members are designed in the form of movable locking members. In particular, the locking members can be tooth-shaped, for example, to engage between two teeth defined by the respective other positioning members in one of the plurality of defined display positions.

[0029] To prevent the display device from being accidentally adjusted, it is advantageous if the positioning device is designed to hold the display element in one of the plurality of positioning positions. This can be achieved, in particular, by a holding device that exerts a holding force on the display element in one of the plurality of positioning positions. This holding force must then be overcome to adjust or move the at least one display element.

[0030] It is advantageous if the positioning device is designed such that the at least one display element can be moved counter to the action of a reset device to transfer the display device from a first display position to a second display position. In other words, to adjust the actual number of medical articles accommodated in the organization box, as displayed by the display device, a minimum force must be applied in order to transfer the at least one display element from a first display position to a second display position. The reset device can, in particular, also exert a holding force on the at least one display element. Thus, the reset device can, in particular, also form or comprise the holding device described above.

[0031] The positioning device can be easily configured if the return device comprises at least one return element for exerting a return force. This can be, in particular, an elastic element, for example, a spring-elastic element. The return element can be designed, for example, in the form of a leaf spring, a compression spring, or a tension spring.

[0032] In order to be able to move the display element into a defined positioning position in a simple manner, it is advantageous if the positioning device comprises a plurality of engagement elements, if at least one of the plurality of engagement elements is assigned to each of the possible actual values ​​in the first display form, and if, in each display position, both one of the possible actual values ​​and the at least one assigned engagement element are positioned in the first display window. Such a configuration enables a user, in particular, to move the display element by, for example, engaging a finger with one of the engagement elements and, in such an engagement position, moving the display element until a different actual value is displayed in the first display window. By designing the display window accordingly, it is then also possible, in particular, to limit movement of the display element.For example, a border of the display window can form a stop for a user's finger engaged with an engagement element, thus stopping movement of the display element. With appropriate dimensioning, it is particularly possible to move the display element in a defined manner from one display position to the next, in particular to increase or decrease the actual number displayed in the first display window.

[0033] An actual number can be easily adjusted in the display windows, in particular increased or decreased by one level, if two intervention elements are assigned to each of the possible actual values ​​in the first display form. A user can then, for example, insert a finger into one of the two intervention elements and move the display element in the direction towards the other intervention element, into which no finger of the user engages. By appropriately dimensioning the display window, a movement of the display element can then be limited, in particular when the intervention element into which the user's finger engages assumes the position occupied by the other intervention element, into which the user did not insert a finger before the display element was moved. A change in an actual number can thus be easily increased or decreased by one level.Preferably, each of the plurality of engagement elements is assigned two of the possible actual values ​​in the first display form. This makes it possible, in particular, with a correspondingly configured display window, to engage an engagement element with a finger and move the display element in one direction or the other, so that either one possible actual value or the other possible actual value is displayed when the user touches a boundary of the display window with their finger.

[0034] It is advantageous if, in each display position, two control elements are positioned in the first display window, with one of the possible actual values ​​positioned between them. As already explained, this makes it possible, in particular, to move the display element like a dial by inserting a finger into one of the two control elements and then moving the display element in one direction or the other to increase or decrease the actual number shown in the display window.

[0035] It is advantageous if the first display window is dimensioned such that, regardless of the rotational position of the display element, at least one of the plurality of engagement elements is always visible in the first display window. This configuration enables, in particular, safe and reliable handling of the display device. If at least one of the engagement elements is always visible, a user can engage it with a finger and move the display element into a defined positioning or display position. This allows the user to set the actual number of medical items stored in the assigned organization box on the display device.

[0036] According to a further preferred embodiment, the display device can comprise a display device housing, and the at least one display element can be arranged or configured to be movable within the display device housing. The display device housing can thus, in particular, protect the display element from damage. Furthermore, it can cover or conceal the display element in those areas that are not intended to be visible. Furthermore, the display device housing can optionally also be used to support the movable display element. Optionally, the optionally provided positioning device can also be arranged or configured on the display device housing.

[0037] The display device can be designed simply and cost-effectively if the display device housing is formed in one piece, in particular monolithically. Such a design can be achieved, for example, by cutting the display device housing from a flat material and folding it into a desired shape.

[0038] Advantageously, the display device housing is formed from a flat sheet of material by punching and folding. Such a display device can be manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner. Depending on the material used for the flat sheet, the display device can then be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner or, if necessary, recycled.

[0039] The display device housing is preferably made of cardboard or plastic. This allows for cost-effective and lightweight display devices that can be quickly and easily attached to an organization box of a medical organization system.

[0040] It is advantageous if a pivot bearing element is arranged or configured on the display device housing for rotatably supporting the at least one display element. This allows the display element to be mounted quickly and easily on the display device housing.

[0041] The manufacture and assembly of the display device can be simplified in particular by forming the pivot bearing element integrally, in particular monolithically, on the display device housing. It is advantageous if the pivot bearing element comprises at least one bearing pin extending from the front and / or rear of the display device into a display element receiving space defined by the display device housing. The display element, in particular if it is designed in the form of a turntable, can thus be easily and securely arranged and rotatably mounted in the display device housing.

[0042] It is advantageous if the pivot bearing element comprises at least two folded retaining tabs that protrude from the front and / or rear of the display device into a display element receiving space defined by the display device housing. Such a configuration is particularly easy to implement if the display device housing is formed from a flat sheet of material by punching and folding. In particular, these retaining tabs can be formed integrally with the display device housing.

[0043] It is advantageous if the at least one display element and the pivot bearing element are engaged in a pivot bearing position in a force-fitting and / or positive-locking manner, in particular by locking with one another. For example, the pivot bearing element can be designed in a pin-shaped manner with radial slots, forming a plurality of spring elements onto which the turntable can be clipped, i.e., connected in a locking manner.

[0044] Preferably, the at least one display element has a surrounding peripheral edge and protrudes from the display device housing with at least a portion of the peripheral edge. Such a configuration enables, in particular, a user to move the display element by grasping the display element at the peripheral edge and moving it in one direction or the other.

[0045] To facilitate adjustment of the display element, especially moving it into a defined display position, it is advantageous if the peripheral edge is serrated. This allows the user to securely grasp the display element and reduces the risk of slipping off the display element.

[0046] Advantageously, the peripheral edge comprises a plurality of pointed or rounded teeth. Such a toothing formed by the teeth on the peripheral edge enables a user to safely and precisely handle the display device, namely, to precisely move the display element.

[0047] It is advantageous if the majority of possible actual values ​​in the first display form are positioned closer to the peripheral edge than the majority of possible actual values ​​in the second display form. In particular, if the display element is in the form of a rotating disk, the engagement elements described above can also be positioned closer to the peripheral edge. This allows them to be made larger, which improves handling of the display device. In particular, the display device as a whole can be made relatively small. Nevertheless, handling is still possible because, for example, positioning engagement elements closer to the peripheral edge allows them to be made larger than if they were positioned closer to the axis of rotation.

[0048] Advantageously, the at least one first display window and the at least one second display window are identically designed. Such a design makes it possible to create an elegant and clear overall impression of the display device. In particular, the actual values ​​displayed in the display windows can be realized in the same size.

[0049] In order to quickly and easily attach the display device to an organization box, it is advantageous if the display device comprises a connecting device for force-fitting, form-fitting, and / or material-fitting connection to the organization box. Different types of fastenings are particularly conceivable here. In particular, these can be designed in the form of locking elements that engage with corresponding locking elements on the organization box in a connected position. However, the connecting device can also comprise screws or clamping pins with which the display device can be screwed or attached to the organization box.

[0050] The display device can be easily and cost-effectively attached to an organization box if the connecting device comprises an adhesive connection. In particular, this can be in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape strip.

[0051] Display devices can be easily and quickly connected to an organization box if the connecting device comprises a clamp connection device. In particular, the clamp connection device can be designed in the form of a retaining clip. The retaining clip can, for example, be formed as part of the display device housing, i.e., in particular, monolithically with a display device housing made of a plastic.

[0052] The manufacture and handling of the display device can be further simplified, in particular, by forming the connecting device integrally, in particular monolithically, with a display device housing of the display device. For example, a clamping connection device, in particular in the form of a retaining clip, can be molded onto a rear side of the display device housing. In this case, the display device housing can be formed, in particular, from an injection-moldable plastic.

[0053] The object stated at the outset is further achieved according to the invention in a medical organization system of the type described at the outset in that one of the display devices described above is arranged or formed on one of the sides, in particular on the front side.

[0054] As already explained in detail above, such a display device allows a user to set the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box, so that the user can always immediately see how many medical items are still contained in the organization box. Furthermore, due to the display of the actual number in a second presentation format, the display device allows this actual number to be automatically read, for example, using a suitable reading device. This simplifies warehouse management for medical items, particularly through partially or fully automated recording of the contents of the organization boxes of the organization system. The organization boxes can be stored, in particular, on shelves of the organization system.

[0055] For the storage of medical supplies, it is advantageous if the at least one organization box is tub-shaped, has a base and a surrounding wall protruding from the base, as well as a filling opening for filling the receiving space with at least one medical supply. For example, the filling opening can be formed by an open top of the organization box opposite the base.

[0056] In order to record the contents of the organization boxes of the organization system at least partially automatically, it is advantageous if the organization system includes a reader for automatically reading the actual number displayed in the second display window in the second display form.

[0057] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the reading device is designed to automatically read target data, in particular a target number of medical articles that can be accommodated in the organization box, in the second display form from a label arranged on the at least one organization box, in particular on the display device. In particular, it is thus possible to optionally record both the actual number and the target number with the reading device. A warehouse management system can then directly determine the actual stock of the stored medical articles and, if necessary, automatically reorder missing or no longer available articles. Such reordering can be carried out, in particular, depending on whether a predetermined minimum number of articles in the organization box is not reached or not.

[0058] Advantageously, the reader is designed to calculate the difference between the actual quantity read and the target quantity indicated on the label. For example, a reorder can be automatically placed if the difference reaches or exceeds a certain predefined limit.

[0059] It is advantageous if the reading device is designed in the form of a mobile device. In particular, this can be a smartphone or a tablet. Such a design enables the simple capture of data displayed on the display device or on a label arranged on an organization box or, in particular, on the display device. Management of an entire warehouse can then optionally also be carried out using such mobile devices. However, these can also transmit captured data to a central data processing unit, with which the entire warehouse management can be carried out and processed.

[0082] Figure 1 schematically shows a first embodiment of a medical organization system 10 for storing medical items 12 and 14 in organization boxes 16. Figure 1 shows three organization boxes 16 as an example. The organization system 10 may comprise any number of such organization boxes.

[0083] In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, packages containing surgical suture material are shown as medical articles 12, 14.

[0084] The schematically illustrated organization boxes 16 are tub-shaped, comprise a base 18 and a peripheral wall 20 projecting from the base 18, which forms a front side 22, two parallel side walls 24, and a rear wall 26. Thus, the organization box 16 comprises several sides, namely the front side 22, two side walls 24, and the rear wall 26.

[0085] The wall 20 and the floor 18 delimit a receiving space 28 defined by the organization box 16 for receiving the medical articles 12 and 14, respectively.

[0086] In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, items 12 and 14 are designed as cuboid-shaped packages. In alternative embodiments not shown, medical items can also be provided in other packaging forms and stored in an organization box.

[0087] In another embodiment of an organization system 10, the organization boxes 16 are shaped differently. In particular, they have different shapes and / or sizes to accommodate medical items of different sizes.

[0088] The organization boxes 16 are open at the top, so that the base 18 does not have a top surface that closes the receiving space 28. This creates a filling opening 30, which, when used as intended, makes the receiving space 28 freely accessible from above for filling the receiving space 28 with articles 12 or 14 and for removing them from the receiving space 28.

[0089] The organization system 10 further comprises a display device 34 for each organization box. The display device 34 is designed to be attached to an outer side of the organization box 16. In other words, the display device 34 is suitable for being fastened to the wall 20, for example to the side walls 24 or the rear wall 26. In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, the display devices 34 are arranged on the outside of the organization box 16 on the front side 22.

[0090] The display device 34 is designed to display an actual number of medical articles contained in the organization box 16.

[0091] In the three organization boxes 16 shown schematically in Figure 1, three identically designed display devices 34 are arranged on the respective end faces 22.

[0092] The display device 34 has a first display window 36 and a second display window 38. The first display window 36 serves to display the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box 16 in a first display format. The second display window 38 serves to display the actual number of medical items stored in the organization box 16 in a second display format.

[0093] The first representation form comprises numeric characters 40. The second representation form comprises machine-readably coded numeric characters 42. Thus, the two representation forms differ from each other. In the embodiment of the display device 34 shown in Figures 1 to 6, the numeric characters 40 are implemented in the form of Arabic numerals 44. The machine-readably coded numeric characters 42 are implemented in the form of a data matrix code 46.

[0094] Instead of a data matrix code 46, a bar code is provided as a second form of representation in alternative embodiments not shown.

[0095] The display device 34 comprises a display element 48, which is movably mounted on the display device 34. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the display element 48 is designed in the form of a turntable 52 mounted on the display device 34 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis 50.

[0096] The display element 48 carries a plurality of possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation form. Furthermore, the display element 48 also carries a plurality of possible actual values ​​56 in the second representation form. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the display element 48 carries ten possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation form, namely the numbers 0 to 9. Furthermore, the display element 48 carries ten possible actual values ​​56 in the second representation form, namely in the form of ten different data matrix codes 46.

[0097] The display device 34 is designed such that the display element 48 can be moved manually, i.e. by hand, into a display position. Such a display position is shown as an example, in particular on the three display devices 34 in Figure 1. In such a display position, only a single actual value 54 of the plurality of possible actual values ​​54, which corresponds to the actual number of medical articles 12 or 14 accommodated in the organization box 16, is displayed in the first display window 36 in the first display form. In this display position, only a single actual value 56 of the plurality of possible actual values ​​56, which corresponds to the actual number of medical articles 12 or 14 accommodated in the organization box 16, is displayed in the second display form in the second display window.

[0098] In the embodiment of Figure 1, this means specifically that the display device 34 in the left-hand organization box 16 displays an actual number of 0 in the first display window 36 and an actual value 56 in the second display window 38, which corresponds to the actual number, i.e. 0, but in the form of a data matrix code 46. The organization box 16 in Figure 1 on the left does not contain any medical articles 12, 14.

[0099] The central organization box 16 shown in Figure 1 contains five medical items 12, 14. The display device 34 accordingly displays the actual quantity as the Arabic numeral 5 in the first display window 36 and a corresponding machine-readable numeric character 42 in the form of a data matrix code 46 in the second display window 38.

[0100] The organization box 16 shown on the right in Figure 1 is completely filled, with a total of nine medical items 12, 14. The display device 34 therefore displays the corresponding actual quantity in the form of a numeric character 40, namely the number 9 in Arabic notation. The actual value 56 corresponding to the actual value 54 is displayed in the second display window 38 as the corresponding data matrix code 46 for the number 9.

[0101] The display position can be changed by rotating the display element 48 around the rotation axis 50, either clockwise or clockwise. Arrows with the "+" symbol are provided on the edge of the rotating disc 52 for the user's convenience. The rotating disc 52 can also be rotated counterclockwise around the rotation axis 50. Arrows with the symbol are shown on the edge of the rotating disc 52 accordingly.

[0102] The two display windows 36 and 38 are spatially separated from each other. The majority of possible actual values ​​54 in the first display form are arranged or formed on a first circle 58 on the display element 48.

[0103] The plurality of possible actual values ​​56 in the second display form are arranged or formed on a second circle 60 on the display element 48. The first circle 58 has a first radius 62, and the second circle has a second radius 64.

[0104] The plurality of possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation is evenly distributed over a circumference of the first circle 58; the plurality of possible actual values ​​56 in the second representation is arranged or formed evenly distributed over a circumference of the second circle 60. The two radii 62 and 64 differ from one another. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the first radius 62 is smaller than the second radius 64.

[0105] The rotation axis 50 defines the centers of the two circles 58 and 60.

[0106] As clearly visible in Figure 6, the possible actual values ​​54 are arranged or configured on the first circle 58 such that they are aligned with radial rays 66 emanating from the rotation axis 50. An angle 68 between radial rays 66 of adjacently arranged possible actual values ​​54 is one-tenth of 360°, namely 36°.

[0107] The display window 36 is positioned such that the display device 34, when used as intended, displays a possible actual value 54 in the first display window 36 in an upright position for a user to read when the radial beam 66 associated with the possible actual value 54 displayed in the first display window 36 is oriented counter to the direction of gravity 32.

[0108] Due to the described embodiment, the turntable 52 must be rotated counterclockwise by an angle corresponding to the angle 68 in order to increase the actual number displayed in the display window 36 by one. Figure 6 shows on the turntable the assignment of the plurality of possible actual values ​​54 in the first display form and the plurality of possible actual values ​​56 in the second display form on the display element 48. The assignment is designed such that the display element 48 can be positioned in one of the ten different display positions possible in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6 such that the actual number in the first display form is displayed in the first display window 36 and the actual number in the second display form is displayed in the second display window 38.

[0109] In the display device 34 according to the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the display windows 36 and 38 are arranged or formed next to one another in a line 70 transverse to, namely perpendicular to, the direction of gravity 32 during the intended use of the display device 34. Accordingly, the ten possible actual values ​​54 and the ten possible actual values ​​56 are assigned such that they are arranged on a line 72 on the display element 48, which is aligned parallel to the line 70 when the pair of assigned actual values ​​54 and 56 is displayed in the two display windows 36 and 38. Figure 6 shows such a line 72 for the numeric character 40 with the value "0" as well as the associated machine-readable numeric character 42. Figure 1 shows exactly this position in the display device 34 arranged on the left organization box 16, in which the actual number 0 is displayed in the first display window 36.

[0110] Corresponding actual values ​​54 and 56 are framed in Figure 6 by a dashed rectangular frame 74. A longitudinal axis of the rectangular frame 74 is formed by line 72. The lines 72 of consecutive frames 74 enclose an angle 76, which in turn corresponds to the value of angle 68, i.e., 36°.

[0111] The possible actual values ​​56 are also arranged on radial rays 78. An angle 80 enclosed between adjacent radial rays 78 also corresponds to the angle 68, i.e., has a value of 36°. As explained, the majority of possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation is arranged or formed in the circumferential direction relative to the axis of rotation 50. Furthermore, the number of possible actual values ​​56 in the second representation on the display element 48 is offset both in the radial direction and in the circumferential direction relative to the axis of rotation 50, relative to the respectively corresponding actual values ​​54 in the first representation. Furthermore, mutually assigned actual values ​​54, 56 in the first representation and in the second representation are arranged or formed on the radial rays 66 and 78, respectively, which each extend away from the axis of rotation 50.Figure 6 shows exemplary radial rays 66 and 78 for the associated actual values ​​54 and 56, which correspond to the numerical value "8." Radial rays 66 and 78 enclose an angle 82. For any display device 34, this angle can have a value ranging from 0° to a maximum of 180°. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, angle 82 is approximately 50°.

[0112] The display device 34 comprises a display device housing 84. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, it is made of a plastic.

[0113] The display device 34 also has the shape of a flat cuboid. A thickness 86 corresponds to a distance between a front side 88 and a rear side 90 of the display device housing 84.

[0114] A pivot bearing element 92 for rotatably supporting the display element 48 is arranged or formed on the display device housing 84. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the pivot bearing element 92 is formed integrally, namely monolithically, on the display device housing 84, specifically on the rear side 90.

[0115] The pivot bearing element 92 comprises a bearing pin 96 projecting from the rear side 90 into a display element receiving space 94 defined by the display device housing 84. The bearing pin 96 is divided by a plurality of radial slots 98 into a plurality of spring elements 100, which comprise sections 102 pointing parallel to the rear side 90 with free ends 104 pointing in the direction of the rotation axis 50. Pointing away from the rotation axis 50, a groove-like depression 106 is formed on each of the spring elements 100, in which a circular edge 108 of a circular opening 110 of the display element 48 engages when the display element 48, i.e. the rotary disk 52, is coupled to the bearing pin 96, as shown schematically in Figure 4.

[0116] The rotating disk 52 can be released from the pivot bearing element 92 by a user either simply pulling the rotating disk 52 away from the pivot bearing element 92, whereby the spring elements 100 are pivoted slightly to the rear side 92 so that the recess 106 releases the edge 108. Alternatively, a user can also press on the free ends 104 of the spring elements 100 to thereby release the rotating disk 52 from the pivot bearing element 92.

[0117] As explained, the display element 48 and the pivot bearing element 92 are in force-locking and / or positive engagement with one another in a pivot bearing position shown in Figure 4, namely in a latching manner.

[0118] The display element 48 further comprises an outer peripheral edge 112 pointing away from the rotation axis 50, which partially protrudes from the display device housing 84, namely over a peripheral angle 114. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the peripheral angle 114 is approximately 80°.

[0119] In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the peripheral edge 114 is smooth, i.e., without teeth.

[0120] In the exemplary embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the majority of possible actual values ​​56 in the second representation is positioned closer to the peripheral edge 112 than the majority of possible actual values ​​56 in the first representation. The display windows 36 and 38 are identical. They have a square shape. In the exemplary embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the display device housing 84 is designed such that the front side 88 is pivotally mounted on the rear side 90 about a pivot axis 116 running parallel to the front side 88 and the rear side 90. For this purpose, pivot arms 118 projecting from the front side 88 are formed with bearing pins 120 pointing towards one another, which, in a connected position, engage in corresponding bearing recesses 122 formed on the rear side 90 and pointing away from one another. The connected position is shown as an example in Figures 3 and 4 in particular.

[0121] The described configuration of the display device housing 84 makes it possible, in particular, to fold the front side 88 downwards when the display device 34 is oriented such that the pivot axis 116 runs perpendicular to the direction of gravity 32. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to replace the display element 48 as needed and, on the other hand, to accommodate a label 124. The front side 88 thus forms a label holder 126 of the display device 34, in which the label 124 can be accommodated.

[0122] In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the front side 88 is made of a transparent plastic. Thus, the label holder 126 is designed in the form of a plug-in holder 128.

[0123] In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the display device 34 comprises the label 124. It is formed from a non-transparent, i.e. essentially opaque, flat material and is provided with two square openings 130 and 132, which form the display windows 36 and 38.

[0124] Target data characterizing the contents of the organization box are applied to the label 124. In particular, a target number 134 of medical items that can be accommodated in the organization box 16 is applied in the first display format, as is the target number 136 in the second display format. The target numbers 134 and 136 are spatially assigned to the display windows 36 and 38, respectively.

[0125] In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the target numbers 134 and 136 are arranged below the openings 130 and 132, respectively. Thus, as shown by way of example in Figure 1, a user can read directly from the display device 34 how many medical articles 12 and 14 are contained in the organization box 16, namely the actual number displayed in the first display window, as well as the target number 134, which is applied directly below the first display window 36 on the label 124.

[0126] The data on the label 124 can in particular be printed, preferably in color.

[0127] The display device 34 optionally comprises a connecting device 138 for force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting connection to an organization box 16.

[0128] In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, the connecting device 138 is designed in the form of an adhesive connecting device 140. The adhesive connecting device 140 comprises one or more double-sided adhesive tape strips 142, which are attached to an outer side of the rear side 90 facing away from the display element receiving space 94. Two such adhesive tape strips 142 are schematically shown in Figure 5.

[0129] Using the connecting device 138, the display device 34 can be quickly and easily attached to an organization box 16, for example, as schematically shown in Figure 1, to the end faces 22 of the organization boxes 16. The medical organization system 10 enables, in particular, the storage of the organization boxes 16 in appropriately suitable shelves that allow a user free access to the receiving space 28 in order to remove the articles 12 or 14 contained therein or to refill the receiving spaces 28 with corresponding medical articles 12, 14. For removal and filling, the organization boxes 16 can also be at least partially removed from the shelves of the organization system 10, either individually or by designing the shelves as one or more drawers.

[0130] For managing inventory, i.e., the medical items 12 and 14 stored in the organization boxes 16, a reader 144 included in the organization system 10 is optionally provided. The reader 144 can automatically read the actual quantity displayed in the second display window in the second display format. The reader is shown in Figure 2 as an example of a mobile device 146 with a display 148. Figure 2 shows a smartphone 150 as the mobile device 146. Alternatively, tablets can also be used as readers 144.

[0131] The reading device 144 is for automatically reading target data, in particular the target quantity 136, of medical articles 12, 14 that can be accommodated in the organization box 16 in the second display format from a label 124 arranged on the organization box 16. For this purpose, the reading device 144 can, in particular, use a camera included in the reading device 144 to take an image of the label 124 and then capture both the actual quantity, which is displayed in the second display window 38 in the second display format, and the target quantity 136 in the second display format and display them on the display 148 for a user, including the respective actual quantity and target quantity 134 in the first display format.

[0132] The reading device 144 can in particular be designed to calculate a difference between the read actual number and the target number 134 or 136 indicated on the label 124. With a corresponding program, for example in the form of an app that is installed on the reading device 144 and runs there, an ordering process can then be automatically triggered by a user in order to order the difference between the target number and the actual number of medical articles 12, 14.

[0133] In Figure 2, the difference quantity, also referred to as the difference quantity, for a reorder is shown on the display 148, for example. To trigger the reorder, an order button 152 shown on the display 148 can be pressed, for example. A minimum difference quantity can also be specified, so that a reorder is only triggered if the difference quantity is not less than the minimum difference quantity.

[0134] In the manner described, either a user with the reader 144 or an autonomously operating robot can record the contents of all organization boxes 16 in a warehouse and then trigger any necessary reorders.

[0135] In order to correctly display the inventory, i.e. the contents of the respective organization boxes 16, users only have to adjust the display device 34 accordingly when removing or filling by moving the display element 48, thus by rotating the turntable 52 about the rotation axis 50, until the actual number corresponding to the number of medical articles 12, 14 contained in the receiving space 28 of the respective organization box 16 appears in the first display form in the first display window 36.

[0136] A further exemplary embodiment of a display device is shown by way of example in Figures 7 to 10 and designated by the reference numeral 34. Identical or functionally equivalent or similar elements in the display device 34 of Figures 7 to 10 are designated by identical reference numerals as in the exemplary embodiment of the display device of Figures 1 to 6. The display device 34 according to Figures 7 to 10 comprises a display device housing 84 which is of one-piece, namely monolithic, design. It is formed from a flat material sheet, as schematically shown in Figure 10, by punching and subsequent folding. The flat material sheet is a sheet of cardboard. Alternatively, the display device housing 84 can also be formed from a flat, foldable plastic material or composite material.

[0137] The display device housing 84 comprises a front side 88, the upper edge 154 of which forms a first fold edge 156. A second fold edge 158, running parallel to the first fold edge 156, delimits a narrow upper side 160 of the display device housing 84. The second fold edge 150 separates the upper side 160 from the rear side 90. The upper side 160 has a width corresponding to a distance 162 between the two fold edges 156 and 158.

[0138] A lower edge 164 of the front side 88 forms a third fold edge 166. A fourth fold edge 168 runs parallel to this, separating a bottom 170 of the display device housing 84, extending between the third and fourth fold edges 166 and 168, from an intermediate wall 172. A distance 174 between the third and fourth fold edges 166, 168 is slightly smaller than the distance 162. A fifth fold edge 176 is formed at the upper end of the intermediate wall 172 and separates the intermediate wall 172 from a pocket top 178. The pocket top 178 is narrower than the bottom 170.

[0139] A sixth folding edge 180 forms two connecting tabs 184 separated from each other by a slot 182.

[0140] A seventh fold edge 186, which connects the first fold edge 156 and the third fold edge 166 and extends perpendicularly thereto, separates the front side 88 and a narrow side wall 188 of the display device housing 84. The side wall 188 is bounded on the one hand by the seventh fold edge 186 and on the other hand by an eighth fold edge 190 extending parallel thereto.

[0141] The eighth fold edge 190 separates the side wall 188 and a fastening tab 192. A distance 194 between the fold edges 186 and 190 is smaller than the distance 174, but slightly larger than a width of the insert compartment top 178, which corresponds to a distance 196 between the fold edges 176 and 178.

[0142] A circular opening 198 is formed on the rear side 90. Two retaining tabs 200 protrude diametrically opposite one another from an inner edge of the opening. The retaining tabs 200 are folded over by 90° at the edge of the opening along a ninth fold edge 202 and along a tenth fold edge 204 running parallel to the latter, so that a groove 206 is formed between the rear side 90 and a tab section 208 encompassing a free end of the retaining tab 200. The two grooves 206 are each open, pointing away from a center point 210 of the opening 198.

[0143] The two retaining tabs 200 folded over as described together form a pivot bearing element 92. They project into the display element receiving space 94 defined by the display device housing 84, as shown by way of example in Figure 9.

[0144] The rotary bearing element 92 in turn serves to support a movable display element 48, which is designed in the form of a turntable 52.

[0145] This display element 48 also carries a plurality of possible actual values ​​54 in the first display format and a plurality of possible actual values ​​56 in the second display format. In this exemplary embodiment, numeric characters 40 and machine-readably coded numeric characters 42 are also applied as the first display format. The numeric characters 40 are applied in the form of Arabic numerals 44, specifically in the form of the numbers 0 to 10. The machine-readably coded numeric characters 42 are in the form of data matrix codes 46.

[0146] The possible actual values ​​54 are evenly distributed on a first circle 58, and the possible actual values ​​56 are evenly distributed on a second circle 60. In this embodiment, the first radius 62 of the first circle 58 is larger than the second radius 64 of the second circle 60.

[0147] The possible actual values ​​54 and 56 in the two representations are again assigned to each other. This assignment is schematically symbolized in Figure 9 by rectangular frames 74. In this exemplary embodiment, both the possible actual values ​​54 and the assigned actual values ​​56 are positioned on the same radial rays 66, 78. The alignment of the numerical characters 40 is oriented radially from the center point 210 toward the peripheral edge 112 of the rotating disk 52.

[0148] On the first circle 58, engagement elements 212 in the form of circular openings 214 are formed between adjacent numeric characters 40. These, like the numeric characters 40, are positioned offset in the radial direction relative to the second circle 60.

[0149] The engagement elements 212 are also positioned on radial rays 216, resulting in an offset angle 218 in the circumferential direction between the radial ray 216 and the adjacent radial ray 66 or 78, on which mutually associated first and second actual values ​​54 or 56 are positioned. The offset angle 218 corresponds to half the angle 68 between adjacent radial rays 66. Thus, in the circumferential direction, engagement elements 212 and numeric characters 40 are arranged or formed alternately on the first circle 58 at an angular spacing of 18°. During assembly, the described rotary disk 52 is simply pushed onto the retaining tabs 200 folded over the ninth fold edges 202. Subsequently, the retaining tabs 200 are also folded along the tenth folding edges 204 so that the turntable 52 is held in the two grooves 206 of the retaining tabs 200, as shown in Figure 9.

[0150] Three openings are formed on the front side 88. First, there is a viewing window 220, which occupies slightly more than half of the total area of ​​the front side 88. This viewing window 220 is slightly spaced from the third fold edge 166 and the seventh fold edge 186. Overall, this creates a narrow, circumferential rectangular frame 222 that borders the viewing window 220 on all sides.

[0151] During proper use of the display device 34, the second display window 38 for the possible actual values ​​56 in the second display form is formed above the viewing window 220, opposite the direction of gravity 32. It is rectangular and positioned on a central axis 224, which intersects the rotation axis 50 running perpendicular to the front side 88 and the rear side 90.

[0152] The first display window 36 is delimited by two circular arc sections 226 and 228 which are concentric with respect to the rotation axis 50 and which are connected to one another via two concavely curved circular arc sections 230 and 232 which point towards one another.

[0153] Radii 234 of the circular arc sections 230 and 232 correspond to the radii 236 of the circular opening 214.

[0154] The first display window is sized to allow two engagement elements 212 and a numeric character 40 to be visible within it. This is illustrated by way of example in Figure 7. In such a display position, in which the inner edges of the adjacent engagement elements 212 are aligned with the circular arc sections 230 and 232, the radial beam 66 runs parallel to the center line 224 and parallel to the direction of gravity 32.

[0155] A numeric character 40, in Figure 7 this is the number 1, is positioned above the second display window 38 and thus above the data matrix code 46 corresponding to the number 1, which is displayed in the second display window 38. Thus, in this exemplary embodiment, the first display window 36 and the second display window 38 are arranged or formed one above the other in a line 71 parallel to the direction of gravity 32 during the intended use of the display device 34.

[0156] Figures 7 to 10 show the structure of the display device 34. As described, after folding the cardboard part shown in Figure 10 along the aforementioned fold edges, the intermediate wall 172 runs parallel to the front side 88. The connecting tabs 184 are positioned above the viewing window 220 and lie flat against the front side 88, to which they are connected. The slot 182 forms a recess for the second display window 38.

[0157] The fastening tab 192 runs parallel to the front side 88 and lies flat against the inside of the rear side 90, as shown by way of example in Figures 8 and 9. The turntable 52 is rotatably mounted in the display element receiving space 94 between the intermediate wall 172 and the rear side 90.

[0158] The viewing window 220 forms part of a label holder 126 for receiving a label 124, which bears target data characterizing the contents of the organization box 16, in particular a target quantity 134 in a first representation and a target quantity 136 in the second representation. Furthermore, further data characterizing the medical articles 12, 14 intended to be accommodated in the organization box 16 are applied to the label 124. Due to the special design of the partition wall 172 as well as the configuration of the frame 22 and the viewing window 220, two mutually facing guide grooves 238 are formed, which are delimited on the one hand by the underside 170 and on the other hand by the insert compartment top 178.The display device housing 84 is open opposite the side wall 188 so that the label 124, which is larger than the viewing window 222, but so small that it can be inserted laterally through an insertion opening 240 opposite the side wall 188 into the label receptacle 126 forming an insertion receptacle 128.

[0159] If the label 124 is positioned as intended in the label holder 126, as shown by way of example in Figure 7, the target number 136 is positioned in the second display form directly below the second display window 38, so that both the data matrix code 46 visible in the second display window 8 and the target number 136 applied to the label can be easily detected simultaneously.

[0160] The embodiment of the display device 34 shown in Figures 7 to 10 comprises a positioning device 242 for the defined positioning of the display element 48 in a plurality of defined positioning positions, namely in a plurality of defined rotational positions relative to the rotation axis 50. The display element 48 assumes one of the plurality of possible display positions in a part of the plurality of defined positioning positions.

[0161] In the embodiment of Figures 7 to 10, the number of the plurality of defined rotational positions corresponds to the number of defined display positions, namely exactly 10 display positions, which are represented by the 10 different numerical characters 40, namely the numbers 0 to 9.

[0162] In this exemplary embodiment, the positioning device 242 comprises the engagement elements 212. At least one of the plurality of engagement elements 212 is assigned to each of the 10 possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation. In the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10, two engagement elements 212 are assigned to each of the possible actual values ​​54 in the first representation. As can be clearly seen in Figure 7, in each display position, i.e., in the position in which the mutually assigned actual values ​​54 and 56 are visible simultaneously, one of the possible actual values ​​54 and two assigned engagement elements 212 are positioned in the first display window 36.

[0163] As clearly visible in Figure 9, two possible actual values ​​54 are also assigned to each of the engagement elements 212 in the first representation. Two actual values ​​54 are positioned adjacent to each engagement element 212 in the first representation.

[0164] In each display position, two intervention elements 212 are positioned in the first display window 36 and between them one of the possible actual values ​​54 in the first display form.

[0165] To change the target number displayed by the display device 34, a user can insert a finger into one of the two engagement elements 212, which is visible in the first display window 36, and then rotate the display element 48 about the rotation axis 50. If the user engages the engagement element 212, which is visible on the left in the first display window 36 in Figure 7, the user can move the display element 48 clockwise to the right until the engagement element 212 is positioned concentrically to the circular arc section 230. In this changed display position, the number 2 is then visible in the first display window 36, again framed by two engagement elements 212.

[0166] If a user inserts a finger into the engagement element 212 visible on the right in the first display window 36 in Figure 7, they can move the display element 48 counterclockwise around the rotation axis 50 until their finger hits the circular arc section 232, so that it is positioned concentrically with the opening 214. In this position, the number 0 is visible in the first display window 36, and the data matrix code corresponding to the number 0 is visible in the second display window 38.

[0167] The display device 34, as illustrated in Figures 7 to 10 and described above, can optionally be equipped with a connecting device 138, as explained in connection with the exemplary embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, for example an adhesive connecting device 140 comprising one or more adhesive tape strips 142 arranged on an outer side of the rear side 90 facing away from the display element receiving space 94. Thus, the display device 34 can be glued to an end face 22 of an organization box 16, corresponding to the display devices 34, as schematically illustrated in Figure 1.

[0168] The two previously described embodiments of display devices 34 have the two display windows 36 and 38 on the front side 88 of the display device 34. Except for the actual number displayed in the first display window 36 and the second display window 38 in the display position, the front side 88 conceals the other possible actual values ​​54, 56 of the plurality of possible actual values ​​54, 56 in both the first and second display forms.

[0169] The exemplary embodiment of the display device 34 according to Figures 7 to 10 has a first display window 36, which is dimensioned such that, regardless of the rotational position of the display element 48, at least one of the plurality of engagement elements is always visible in the first display window 36. This enables a user to grasp the display element 48 with a finger through the first display window 36 by inserting the finger into the engagement element 212 visible in the first display window 36.

[0170] Figures 11 and 12 illustrate a further exemplary embodiment of a display device 34. Its structure is very similar to the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used to designate identical or functionally comparable elements as in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10. Therefore, only the differences between the exemplary embodiment of the display device 34 according to Figures 11 and 12 and the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10 are explained below.

[0171] In the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12, a second fastening tab 192 is provided symmetrically to the central axis 224, which is connected to a surface of the intermediate wall 172 facing toward the display element 48. Adhesive surfaces 244 on the two fastening tabs 192 are schematically shown in Figure 12.

[0172] The display element 48 differs from the display element 48 of the embodiment of Figures 7 to 9 in particular in that it does not have engagement elements 212. However, the majority of possible actual values ​​54 and 56 in the two representations are positioned identically on the display element 48 in both embodiments.

[0173] Furthermore, the two embodiments differ in the design of the peripheral edge 212. In the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12, this edge has a plurality of rounded teeth 246. In alternative embodiments not shown, the teeth 246 are pointed. Thus, the peripheral edge 212 is toothed.

[0174] Another difference is the design of the first display window 36. In the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12, the display device housing 84 is partially removed at the top side 160. Here, a notch 248 is formed on the front side 88, the back side 90, and the top side 160 connecting them, which extends over an angular range 250 of approximately 50°.

[0175] At the notch 248 on the front side 88, a recess 252 is formed, which opens radially away from the rotation axis 50 and in which, in a display position, one of the possible actual values ​​54 is positioned in the first display form. In Figure 11, the number 1 is positioned in the recess 252 in the display position. The data matrix code 46 corresponding to the actual value 54, which corresponds to the number 1, is positioned in the second display window 38.

[0176] The assignment of the actual values ​​54 and 56 is schematically symbolized in Figure 12 by a frame 74.

[0177] In the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12, the display element 48 partially protrudes from the display device housing 84, so that a user can move the display element 48 by grasping the toothed peripheral edge 112 with, for example, a finger of their hand and then rotating the display element 48 either clockwise or counterclockwise about the rotation axis 50. A clockwise rotation increases the displayed actual value 54, while a counterclockwise rotation decreases the actual value 56. The only exceptions are the number 9 when increasing and the number 0 when decreasing. In this case, the actual value 54 jumps from 9 to 0 or from 0 to 9, respectively.

[0178] The embodiment of the display device 34 according to Figures 10 and 11 is also formed from a flat material sheet by punching and folding.

[0179] Figures 13 to 17 schematically illustrate another embodiment of a display device, designated overall by reference numeral 34. Its structure is very similar to the embodiment shown in Figures 7 to 10, so the reference numerals already used have been used here as well.

[0180] The embodiment of Figures 13 to 17 is constructed from several plastic parts. Figures 14 and 15 show the three essential elements of the display device 34, namely the front side 88, the rear side 90, and the display element 48, which is rotatable between them about the rotation axis 50 and is designed in the form of a rotating disk 52.

[0181] From the front, i.e., with its side surface facing the front side 88, the display element 48 corresponds to the display element 48 of the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10. This particularly applies to the arrangement of the plurality of possible actual values ​​54 and 56 in the two display forms, as well as the design of engagement elements 212 between the actual values ​​54 in the first display form. The design of the first display window 36 and the second display window 38 also corresponds to the design of the two display windows 36 and 38 in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7 to 10.

[0182] The label holder 126 comprises two guide grooves 238 which are open towards one another and run perpendicular to the direction of gravity 22 when the display device 34 is used as intended. They serve to hold the label 124, which is identical in design to the labels 124 in the embodiments of Figures 7 to 10 and 11 and 12. The label 124 can be inserted laterally with its upper edge 254 and its lower edge 256 into the two guide grooves 238.

[0183] On the front side 88, a pivot bearing element 92 is formed in the form of an annular projection 258 projecting into the display element receiving space 94, which is formed corresponding to the opening 198 on the display element 48.

[0184] Furthermore, on the front side 88, in the four corners of the front side 88, a total of four connecting projections 260 are formed, each projecting into the display element receiving space 94, each having a blind hole 264 provided with an internal thread 262. On the rear side 90, bores 266 are provided coaxially with the blind holes 264, which widen in inner diameter in a single step away from the display element receiving space 94, so that a flat head receptacle 268 is formed for receiving a head 270 of a connecting screw 272. The connecting screw 272 has a shaft 276 provided with an external thread 274. The external thread 274 corresponds to the internal thread 262. The described embodiment enables the front side 88 to be connected to the rear side 90 by screwing, as shown schematically in Figure 15.

[0185] The display device 34 according to the embodiment of Figures 13 to 17 comprises a positioning device 242 for positioning the display element 48 in a plurality of defined positioning positions relative to the rotation axis 50.

[0186] The positioning device 242 comprises cooperating first and second positioning members 278 and 280. The first positioning member 278 is arranged or formed on the display device 34, namely on the display device housing 84.

[0187] The indicator element 48 comprises a plurality of second positioning members 280. These are formed on a side surface of the indicator element 48 facing toward the rear side 90. The second positioning members 280 are in the form of teeth 282. The exemplary embodiment of Figures 14 to 17 comprises ten teeth 282. Tooth tips 284 pointing radially away from the rotation axis 50 point toward the engagement elements 212. Tooth bases 286 are formed between the teeth 282. They serve to receive the first positioning member 278, which is also tooth-shaped.

[0188] In one of the ten possible positioning positions of the positioning device, the first positioning member 278 engages a tooth base 286 between adjacent teeth 282. This positioning position is shown schematically in Figure 16. The positioning device 242 is designed such that the display device 34 assumes a display position when the positioning members 278 and 280 engage with each other in the positioning position, as shown by way of example in Figure 16. In this case, one of the possible actual values ​​54 is visible in the first display window 36 with two engagement elements 212 positioned on either side, as shown by way of example in Figure 13.

[0189] The first positioning member 278 is designed in the form of a movable locking member 288, specifically tooth-shaped as can be clearly seen in Figures 16 and 17.

[0190] The positioning device 242 is further configured to hold the display element in one of the plurality of positioning positions. In the embodiment of Figures 14 to 17, the number of possible positioning positions corresponds to the number of possible display positions.

[0191] The positioning device 242 in the embodiment of Figures 14 to 17 is designed such that the display element 48 is movable against the action of a return device 290 to transfer the display device 34 from a first display position to a second display position. The return device 290 comprises a return element 292 for exerting a return force. The return element 292 is in the form of a leaf spring element 294. The leaf spring element 294 is formed symmetrically to a central axis 224 of the display device 34. Free ends 296 of the leaf spring element 294 are bent toward one another and suspended from retaining projections 298 that protrude from the front side 88 into the display element receiving space 94. The leaf spring element 294 is formed from an elastic material, for example, it is shaped as a metal bracket or plastic bracket.

[0192] Starting from a positioning position, as schematically illustrated in Figure 16, in which the first positioning member 278 engages between two teeth 280, the leaf spring element 294 is pressed away from the rotation axis 50 upon rotation of the display element 48 clockwise or counterclockwise. The tooth 282 slides along the first positioning member 278 until the tooth tip 284 and a tip 300 of the first positioning member 278 abut one another, as shown by way of example in Figure 17.

[0193] If the display element 48 is moved clockwise or counterclockwise from the position shown in Figure 17, the preloaded leaf spring element 294 forces the first positioning member 278 into the tooth base 286 between two adjacent teeth 282. The positioning device 242 then holds the display element 48 in the newly assumed positioning position, which simultaneously corresponds to a display position of the display device 34.

[0194] Another embodiment of a display device 34 is shown in Figures 18 to 20. This embodiment largely corresponds in its basic structure to the embodiment shown in Figures 13 to 17. The only differences are in the positioning of the display windows 36 and 38.

[0195] In the embodiment of Figures 18 to 20, when the display device 34 is used as intended, the display window 36 is not positioned above the second display window 38 against the direction of gravity 32, but rather, viewed from the front, both to the right of the first display window 36 and to the right of the label holder 126.

[0196] The label holder 126, in turn, has two parallel guide grooves 238, which form part of a frame 222, which is open on a left side of the display device 34, viewed from the front, and forms an insertion opening 240. On a right side, the insertion holder 126 is closed and forms a stop for the label 124.

[0197] The positioning device 242 is identical in structure to the positioning device 242 of the exemplary embodiment of Figures 13 to 17, both in its function and in its design. Only the orientation of the leaf spring element 294 on the front side 88 is rotated by 90° compared to the orientation in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 13 to 17. Thus, a connecting line between the free ends 296 runs parallel to the direction of gravity 32, whereas in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 13 to 17, it runs perpendicular to the direction of gravity 32. The front side 88 and the rear side 90 are screwed together in a manner analogous to the exemplary embodiment of Figures 13 to 17.

[0198] Taking into account the changed position of the display windows 36 and 38 on the front side 88 of the display device 34, a changed assignment of the possible actual values ​​54 and the possible, corresponding actual values ​​56 in the two display forms to one another results. In the embodiment of Figures 18 to 20, the radial rays 66 and 78, on which the possible actual values ​​54 in the first display form and the possible actual values ​​56 in the second display form are positioned, enclose an angle 82, which has a value of approximately 130°.

[0199] When assigning the target number 136 to the actual number of medical items 12, 14 stored in an organization box 16, as shown in the second display window 38, nothing changes compared to the exemplary embodiment of Figures 13 to 17. The target number 136 is positioned directly below the second display window 38.

[0200] The actual value 54 in the first display window 36 is positioned at approximately the same height as the target value 134 on the label 124 held in the label holder 126.

[0201] In the embodiment of Figures 18 to 20, the display element 48 is also moved clockwise or counterclockwise against the action of the reset device 290 in order to transfer the display device 34 from a first display position to a further display position. Figure 21 schematically shows another example of a display device 34. Its structural design is identical to the display device 34 according to the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12. However, it differs from the display device 34 of Figures 11 and 12 in the arrangement and design of the first display window 36 and the second display window 38.

[0202] In the embodiment of Figure 21, the display windows 36 and 38 are not structurally separated from one another, as is the case in the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12, but are connected to one another, thus forming a unit. They are formed by a single cutout in the form of a notch or a single recess 252. The recess 252 is formed on the front side 88 of the display device housing 84 at the notch 248 and is open in the radial direction away from the axis of rotation 50. On a lower edge 312 of the recess 252, extending parallel to the top side 160, a tooth-like projection is formed, pointing away from the axis of rotation 50 and in the direction of the central axis 224, which projection serves as a pointer 314.A tip of the pointer 314 points to a central position in the second display window, thus to the actual value 56 visible therein in the second display form when the display device 34 assumes a display position.

[0203] Two projections 316, which in a display position point to the actual value 54 in the first representation form, serve as optical guidance for a user when viewing the display device 34. These projections laterally delimit the first display window 36 with edges 322 running essentially in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation 50. The projections 316 point towards one another and are symmetrical to the central axis 224. The upper and lower edges of these projections 316 are schematically connected to one another in Figure 21 by dashed lines 318 and 320, respectively. The lines 318 and 320 are for explanatory purposes only and are not applied to the display element 48. The first display window 36 is thus delimited by the dashed lines 318 and 320 and the two edges 322.Thus, in the embodiment of Figure 21, the display windows 36 and 38 are not structurally separated from one another, but form a unit in the form of the recess 252 encompassing both display windows 36 and 38. The course of the dashed line 320 forms a purely virtual dividing line between the two display windows 36 and 38.

[0204] The dashed lines 318 and 320 can optionally also be applied to the display element 48 in order to form a visual, but not a structural, separation between the two display windows 36 and 38.

[0205] In the embodiment of Figure 21, the machine-readably coded numerical character 42 arranged on the label 124 is further configured differently than the machine-readably coded numerical characters 42 for displaying the possible actual values ​​56 in the second display format. In this embodiment, the machine-readably coded numerical character 42 on the label 124 comprises more pixels than the machine-readably coded numerical character 42 that displays the actual value 56. In this embodiment, the machine-readably coded numerical character 42 on the label 124, displayed as a data matrix code 46, comprises more information than just the target number 136. This makes it possible, in particular, to completely individualize a storage location, for example, the organization box 16 to which the display device 34 is attached, and / or a room in which the organization box 16 is stored.Thus, when reading the machine-readable coded numerical character 42 on the label 124, not only the target number 136 can be recorded, but in particular the product itself can also be identified and / or, for example, a hospital and / or a corresponding storage location in the hospital.

[0206] The above-described embodiment of the machine-readably coded numerical character 42 on the label 124, i.e. the design of the same such that additional information is coded in this character 42 that goes beyond the pure target number 136, can also be implemented in a corresponding manner in all other embodiments described in the present application.

[0207] All described embodiments of display devices 34 can, in particular, comprise a connecting device 134. Adhesive connecting devices 140, as described in connection with the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6, are possible here. Alternatively, clamping connecting devices 302 can also be used, for example in the form of a retaining clip 304.

[0208] In Figure 20, such a retaining clip 304 is schematically shown in dashed lines as an integral component of the rear side 90. This connecting device 138 is thus formed in one piece, namely monolithically, with the display device housing 84, namely its rear side 90. The retaining clip 304 is realized by two essentially U-shaped slots 306 and 307, so that an end 308 of the retaining clip 304 pointing in the direction of gravity is designed in the form of a narrow transverse web 310, which can be pivoted outward from the rear side 90 away from the display element receiving space 94 and pushed, for example, into the receiving space 28 of the organization box 16 from above, i.e. into the filling opening 30, over the front side 22 in order to clamp the display device 34 to the front side 22 of the organization box 16.

[0209] All described display devices can be read out with the reading device 144 as in connection with the embodiment of Figures 1 to 6.

[0210] All described embodiments of display devices 34 are purely mechanical and can be manually adjusted by a user to set different actual values ​​corresponding to the number of medical articles 12, 14 accommodated in the organization box 16. Instead of the data matrix code described and illustrated in the figures, any other one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional machine-readable code or a composite code can be used. A barcode, for example, can be used as a one-dimensional machine-readable code, in particular in the form of EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, or Code 128. Furthermore, a matrix barcode, in particular a QR code, Maxi Code, Aztec Code, JAB Code, Dot Code, or Han Xin Code, can be used as a two-dimensional machine-readable code.Furthermore, three-dimensional machine-readable codes in the form of holograms, in particular in the form of a volume hologram, an amplitude hologram or a phase hologram, can be used.
