Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage bag for storing an information terminal such as a mobile phone when performing operations that require surgery or aseptic processing.

Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, there are many situations where clean operations such as surgery and IVR (Interventional Radiology) are essential. However, the techniques are diverse, and new techniques and new devices are being clinically applied one after another. Accordingly, new information has also become diverse, covering the techniques of each step of surgery and the usage of devices. Until now, all of these were memorized before surgery and then the procedures were performed, but the amount of new information to be memorized has increased, and mistakes have sometimes occurred. On the other hand, in recent years, the development of information and communication technology (ICT) has been remarkable, and it is also possible to perform such operations in real time while browsing an information terminal at each step using an information and communication device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal (hereinafter referred to as an information terminal). However, since various bacteria usually adhere to the surface of such an information terminal that is normally used, the information terminal cannot be brought into a sterile environment in an operating room such as on an operating table as it is. In addition, it is not possible to sterilize the information terminal using a disinfectant solution or the like because it may cause malfunctions.

[0003] Therefore, when a clean operation is required, it is necessary to cover the information terminal itself with a sterilized bag. As a sterilized bag that can be used in such a medical field, there is a storage bag having a double structure of a sterilized outer bag and an inner bag (for example, see Patent Document 1), or a structure in which a paper introduction part formed in a flat cylindrical shape with both ends open is attached to a bag body in order to prevent the entrance from being contaminated during insertion (for example, see Patent Document 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in a storage bag having a double structure of an outer bag and an inner bag, bacteria attached to the information terminal at the time of storing the terminal may move to a portion closer to the opening than the fastener of the inner bag. Such a portion remains even after removing the outer bag and is in an open state with respect to the outside, so the operating room will be contaminated by the bacteria attached to this portion. In addition, in the case of a structure in which a paper introduction part is attached to the bag body, when inserting the information terminal, it is necessary to operate the paper introduction part, and accordingly, the insertion work becomes complicated. Therefore, in the case of an urgent operation, the operation has been a burden.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage bag for an information terminal that can easily store an information terminal such as a mobile phone when performing an operation or a task that requires aseptic treatment.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention is characterized by including a bag body for storing a plate-shaped information terminal, a collar portion that is continuously provided at one end of the bag body and has a larger diameter toward the outside and has an opening at the outermost part, and a chuck portion that is provided inside the collar portion and opens and closes the bag body.

[0008] By providing a collar portion that is continuously provided on the bag body for storing a plate-shaped information terminal and has a larger diameter toward the outside, the information terminal can be inserted into the bag body so as not to touch the chuck portion or the outside thereof, and the use of the information terminal in a place where it is necessary to maintain cleanliness can be promoted.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention, the bag body may be composed of two laminated sheet bodies, three sides of the two sheet bodies are closed, and the flap portion may have a shape extending from one side of the two laminated sheet bodies that is not closed.

[0010] Further, as the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention, the bag body, the flap portion, and the chuck portion can be sterilized. Also, with the flap portion in a state where the chuck portion is inverted outward, it is possible to insert the information terminal into the bag body.

[0011] Furthermore, as the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention, when the information terminal is a device equipped with a camera, it is considered to enhance the function of protecting personal information and expand its usage range. That is, as the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention, a light shielding portion for suppressing transmitted light may be provided in the region of the bag body facing the lens of the camera of the information terminal when the information terminal is inserted into the bag body. When the bag body is composed of two sheet bodies, one sheet body can transmit light, and the other sheet body can suppress the transmission of light.

[0012] Also, as the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention, when considering use in an operating room, for example, even when placing a storage bag containing an information terminal on a relatively slippery operating table or the like, from the perspective of preventing the information terminal from slipping off together with the bag, an adhesive portion can be formed on a part of the bag body. For example, the adhesive portion can be a hook-and-loop fastener member.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a storage bag for an information terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that a medical worker brings an information terminal normally used into the operating room, and the storage bag for an information terminal of the present embodiment is used as a bag for storing the information terminal so as not to bring in germs or the like into the operating room.

[0015] First Embodiment As shown in FIG. 1, the storage bag 10 for an information terminal according to the present embodiment includes a bag body 12 for storing the information terminal, a flap portion 14 provided continuously at one end of the bag body 12 and having a larger diameter toward the outside and having an opening 18 at the outermost part, and a chuck portion 16 provided inside the flap portion 14 for opening and closing the bag body 12.

[0016] Note that the information terminals that can be stored in the present embodiment are targeted at mobile phones such as smartphones and electronic devices such as tablet terminals, and are plate-shaped electronic devices each having a monitor with a touch panel incorporated on the surface. Although the details of the information terminal will not be described here, a normal smartphone has a camera on the back surface and a self-shot camera is also incorporated on the surface. There are information terminals of various sizes, and the bag body 12 has a size that can store the information terminal with some play.

[0017] The bag body 12 can be made of a transparent resin sheet. For example, resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, and silicone can be adopted. It can also have a multi-layer structure to improve the antibacterial property, chemical resistance, and light transmission function, or it can have a structure with a coating such as a protective film. Also, a material compatible with sterilization treatment can be selected. Note that in this specification, "transparent" includes those with a slightly low light transmittance like semi-transparent ones and those with a slight color tint. Since the storage bag 10 for an information terminal in this embodiment assumes operating the information terminal after storing it, the bag body 12 has a thickness and flexibility that allow operating the information terminal through the material of the bag body 12 by button pressing or contact operation.

[0018] The bag body 12 can also have a structure in which two sheets on the front and back are closed at three sides 12r, 12l, and 12b, or it can be a structure in which the bottom side of a tubular one formed by blow molding is closed. Also, two sheets on the front and back can be formed by folding one sheet. In this case, the bag body 12 can be formed by closing the bottom side and the open side part.

[0019] At one open end of such a bag body 12, a flap 14 is provided that is continuously provided at the connection part 20 at one end of the bag body 12 and has an opening 18 at the outermost part with a larger diameter towards the outside. The flap 14 can also be composed of an integral sheet material continuous with the bag body 12. After forming the flap 14 separately, the separate flap 14 can also be adhered to the open end of the bag body 12 by welding or the like. "Larger diameter towards the outside" means that the diameter of the opening formed by the flap 14 becomes larger as it is farther from the end of the bag body 12, and the diameter of the opening at the position farthest from the end of the bag body 12 is the largest. The opening 18 is provided at the outermost part. As shown in FIG. 1, the widening of this diameter can also have a structure in which the end 14e of the flap 14 shows a uniform widening, or it can have a structure in which the end 14e of the flap 14 is curved or stepped, and it does not necessarily have to be symmetric.

[0020] The flap portion 14 can be made of the same material as the bag body 12, or different materials can be selected. When the flap portion 14 is made of the same material as the bag body 12, resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, and silicone can be used. Also, when the flap portion 14 is formed of a material different from that of the bag body 12, in order to make it easier to insert the information terminal 12, the material can be made slightly harder than the bag body 12 in terms of the hardness of the sheet, and a separately formed one can be adhered.

[0021] Inside such a flap portion 14, a chuck portion 16 for opening and closing the bag body is provided. The chuck portion 16 is for sealing the inside of the inner flap portion 14 and the inside of the bag body 12 from the position where the chuck portion 16 is provided, and has a function of confining the miscellaneous bacteria that may adhere to the inserted information terminal into the inside of the bag body 12 and the space inside the flap portion 14 from the chuck portion 16 by the sealing operation of the chuck portion 16. The chuck portion can be configured as a zip lock (registered trademark) formed of polypropylene or polyethylene, or other sealing methods that achieve airtightness may also be used. To prevent accidental airtightness release, a plurality of chuck portions 16 may be provided on the flap portion 14.

[0022] The storage bag 10 for an information terminal of this embodiment can be sterilized. Examples of the sterilization treatment applicable to the storage bag 10 for an information terminal of this embodiment include ethylene oxide gas (EOG) sterilization, moist heat sterilization, hydrogen peroxide sterilization, radiation sterilization, and the like. In order to maintain the sterilized state before use, the opening 18 side can also be structured to be closed before use, or can be structured to cut off (tear off) the end that is closed during use.

[0023] When the storage bag 10 for the information terminal is formed in such a shape, when inserting the information terminal into the bag body 12, it is possible to insert it into the bag body 12 easily without contacting the information terminal at all outside the chuck portion 16 (the side farther from the bag body 12), and it is possible to prevent the spread of various bacteria and the like existing in the information terminal. FIGS. 2 to 3 show the state when the information terminal 24 is inserted into the storage bag 10 for the information terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, first, for example, hold the storage bag 10 for the information terminal with the left hand, and grasp the upper side of the information terminal 24 to be inserted with the right hand. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, insert the lower end portion of the information terminal 24 to be inserted into the bag body 12 from the opening 18 of the storage bag 10 for the information terminal by pushing it in. At this time, around the information terminal 24, the opening 18 of the storage bag 10 for the information terminal opens the largest, and then the chuck portion 16 opens the second largest along the shape of the flap portion 14, and the connecting portion 20 between the flap portion 14 and the bag body 12 opens slightly smaller than the opening of the chuck portion 16. In particular, by the user gripping near the connecting portion 20 of the storage bag 10 for the information terminal, the connecting portion 20 between the flap portion 14 and the bag body 12 can be held open inside the bag, and the information terminal 24 held by the right hand is inserted into the opened portion.

[0024] At the time of this insertion, the opening degree near the connecting portion 20 is the smallest, and the chuck portion 16 and the opening 18 are further widened openings. Therefore, the information terminal 24 can be inserted into the bag body 12 without contacting these chuck portion 16 and the outermost portion 18 at all, and the chuck portion 16 can be closed immediately after the insertion to seal the information terminal 24 inside the bag.

[0025] For example, in a structure without the flap portion 14, the connecting portion, the chuck portion, and the opening have the same diameter, and when the information terminal is inserted, it may occur that the information terminal contacts the narrow chuck portion or the opening even if careful work is done. However, in the storage bag 10 for the information terminal having the flap portion 14, since the chuck portion 16 and the opening 18 are further widened openings, the information terminal 24 can be sealed inside the bag without contacting these portions.

[0026] Figures 4 and 5 show other examples of the procedure for inserting the information terminal. As shown in Figure 4, when the collar portion 14 has a shape that becomes larger in diameter and faces outward, as shown in Figure 5, the collar portion 14 can be folded back in the reverse direction near the connection portion 20. In such a folded state where the chuck portion is inverted outward, the opening for inserting the information terminal 24 becomes the position of the connection portion 20, and since the chuck portion 16 and the opening 18 are spaced apart from the connection portion 20, the information terminal 24 can be sealed in the bag more easily without contacting the chuck portion 16 and the opening 18.

[0027] Second Embodiment The storage bag 30 for an information terminal of this embodiment is an example having a light shielding portion that suppresses light transmitted through a part thereof. Recently, information terminals such as smartphones generally have a camera. For example, when looking at an information terminal to know the operation method of a medical device in an operating room or the like, the situation in the operating room, personal information such as the patient's face and medical record may be captured through the camera. Therefore, the storage bag 30 for an information terminal of this embodiment provides a function of enhancing personal information protection by providing a light shielding portion at an appropriate location in consideration of the position of the camera of the information terminal in a part of the bag.

[0028] Figure 6 shows that the storage bag 30 for an information terminal is composed of two sheets 31 and 32 on the front and back surfaces. The front sheet 31 is made of a transparent resin sheet, and the back sheet 32 is made of a resin sheet having a non-transparent light shielding portion. In Figure 6, an example is shown where a light shielding portion is formed not only on the bag body but also on the collar portion. However, a light shielding portion can also be provided only at the position of the camera of the information terminal on the back sheet 32. In the storage bag 30 for an information terminal, since the back sheet 32 serves as the light shielding portion, the lens portion of the camera existing on the back side of the information terminal is covered by the back sheet 32 having a light shielding function, and leakage of personal information from this camera can be prevented.

[0029] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the information terminal 24 stored in the storage bag 30 for information terminals of the present embodiment. The front sheet 31 made of a transparent resin sheet can show the screen of the information terminal 24 as it is, but in the back sheet 32, even if the information terminal 24 is inserted, it cannot be seen at all. Even if the camera is operated, the back sheet 32 with a light shielding function blocks the incident light of the camera, so that the function of the camera can be suppressed.

[0030] FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams showing a modification of the second embodiment. A case where the information terminal 24 is stored in the storage bag 33 for information terminals and then changed to a state where the camera can be used will be described. If there is consent from the surgical subject, etc., it can be easily changed to such a camera usage mode. Specifically, in this storage bag 33 for information terminals, the back sheet 34 of the bag body is a sheet that shields light, and the front sheet of the collar part 35 and the bag body is transparent. When the information terminal 24 such as a smartphone is inserted into the storage bag 33 for information terminals and the bottom of the information terminal 24 reaches the bottom of the bag body, the lens position of the information terminal 24 is within the range of the back sheet 34 of the bag body, so the camera function of the information terminal 24 can be suppressed. Then, from that state, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the position of the information terminal 24 is gradually moved toward the collar part 35 so as to be separated from the bottom of the bag body, the lens of the information terminal 24 can be seen within the collar part 35, which indicates that the camera of the information terminal 24 can be used.

[0031] The third embodiment The storage bag 40 for an information terminal according to this embodiment is provided with a collar portion 44 continuous with the bag body 42. A hook-and-loop fastener 48 made of a hook or loop-side member is disposed near a part of the collar portion 44 and the upper end portion of the bag body 42, with the camera position excluded. A hook-and-loop fastener 50 made of a loop or hook-side member is provided so as to stick to these hook-and-loop fasteners 48. When using the camera, as shown in FIG. 10, by removing the hook-and-loop fastener 50, the lens of the information terminal 24 faces a part of the collar portion 44 and the vicinity of the upper end portion of the bag body 42, and thus the camera function of the information terminal 24 can be used. In particular, when peeling off the hook-and-loop fastener, a peeling sound is produced, so that it is impossible to take a surreptitious photo when there are other people in the same room, which contributes more to the protection of personal information.

[0032] Fourth Embodiment The storage bag 60 for an information terminal according to this embodiment is an example in which a double-sided tape 62 is disposed on the outer surface of the bag. When in use, as shown in FIG. 11, the release paper 64 is peeled off, and the position of the information terminal can be fixed by the double-sided tape 62. This can fix the information terminal to various objects such as the side of the device, the wall, the operating table, medical staff, and patients, and has excellent usability. In particular, since the operating table is relatively slippery during surgery, it is extremely effective to enable the information terminal to be placed on the operating table as well.

[0033] Fifth Embodiment The storage bag 70 for an information terminal according to this embodiment is a modified example of the storage bag 10 for an information terminal of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the collar portion 74 has a frustum-of-a-cone shape, and a chuck portion 76 is provided in the middle of its slope. The upper end portion of the frustum-of-a-cone-shaped collar portion 74 is an opening 78. The lower portion of the collar portion 74 is continuous with a bag-shaped bag body 72. The collar portion 74 can be made of a relatively hard olefin-based resin or the like having a frustum-of-a-cone shape, and it is easy to open the opening 78 widely.

[0034] Sixth Embodiment The storage bag 80 for an information terminal according to this embodiment is a modified example of the storage bag 10 for an information terminal according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, the side 83 of the bag body 82 extends straight to the collar portion 84, which can be formed by folding a single sheet at the side 83. The end portion of the collar portion 84 on the side opposite to the side 83 is provided so as to spread obliquely, and since it has a chuck portion 86 at an intermediate position, when inserting the information terminal, the most widely opened is the opening 88, the chuck portion 86 opens with a diameter slightly smaller than that, and the connection portion of the bag body 82 has an opening narrower than the chuck portion 86. Therefore, when inserting the information terminal, the information terminal can be inserted into the bag body 82 while preventing easy contact with the opening 88 and the chuck portion 86. Also, since one side has a folding structure, it is easier to manufacture compared to a structure that closes three sides.

[0035] Seventh Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the storage bag 90 for an information terminal according to the seventh embodiment is formed by folding back the collar portion 94 in a reverse mountain fold near the connection portion 95, and further folding it in a valley fold at the folding portion 93 to stand up. There is a chuck portion 96 in the standing-up area, and an opening 98 is formed at the outermost peripheral portion. When inserting the information terminal 24, the bottom portion of the information terminal 24 can be easily inserted into the bag body 92 by inserting it into the exposed connection portion 95 of the bag body 92. At this time, since the chuck portion 96 and the opening 98 are spaced apart from the connection portion 95, the information terminal 24 can be sealed in the bag without contacting the chuck portion 96 and the opening 98.

[0036] Eighth Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, this embodiment is an example having a relatively small rectangular light-shielding portion 101 on the side of the surface sheet 102. That is, the storage bag 100 for an information terminal of this embodiment has a bag body with a structure in which the front sheet 102 and the back sheet 103 are overlapped and three sides are closed, and the back sheet 103 is made of a film having light-shielding properties over the entire surface of the bag body portion. A flap portion 104 that becomes larger in diameter toward the outside continuously with this bag body and has an opening 108 at the outermost part is provided. The flap portion 104 is composed of transparent resin sheets on both the front and back surfaces. Further, a chuck portion 106 is provided in the middle of the flap portion 104, and the inserted information terminal 24 can be sealed. Also in the storage bag 100 for an information terminal of this embodiment, personal information can be reliably protected by using the light-shielding back sheet 103 and the light-shielding portion 101. The size and position of the light-shielding portion 101 are arranged in accordance with the position of the front camera lens 26 of the information terminal 24, and when the information terminal 24 is inserted into the bag body, the camera function of the front camera 26 of the information terminal 24 is suppressed. At the same time, the light-shielding back sheet 103 suppresses the camera function of the rear camera lens 28 of the information terminal 24. The light-shielding portion 101 is sized and positioned so as to sufficiently transmit the light of the monitor screen of the information terminal 24 other than the camera lens in particular. In the storage bag 100 for an information terminal having such a structure, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 which are modified examples of the second embodiment, the user moves the positions of the front camera lens 26 and the rear camera lens 28 together with the information terminal 24 within the bag body, so that each lens position can be moved to a position outside the light-irradiating portions of the light-shielding portion 101 and the back sheet 103, and it is also possible to change from the personal information protection state to the mode of using the camera. The light-shielding portion 101 is rectangular, but other shapes such as circular, elliptical, and polygonal may be used.

[0037] In the above-described embodiment, the use mainly in the medical field has been described. However, the storage bag for an information terminal of the present invention is not limited to being used for medical purposes, and can be used in a clean room for blocking dust and dirt such as in the semiconductor industry and the precision machinery industry, entering food manufacturing and pharmaceutical operations, and further in applications such as food and beverage provision where the influence of bacteria and viruses needs to be suppressed. Its scope of application is broad.
