Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a defecation bag used when performing defecation assistance.

Background Art

[0002] Defecation assistance is a treatment for assisting defecation for those who have difficulty defecating on their own.

[0003] During a general defecation assistance procedure, for example, a caregiver wearing gloves made of synthetic rubber or the like inserts a finger inserted into the glove into the anus of the person to be assisted. Then, the caregiver scrapes out the feces accumulated in the rectum of the person to be assisted with a finger and drops it, for example, onto a disposable diaper laid under the buttocks.

[0004] In such a general defecation assistance procedure, the scattering of feces and the spread of odors have been problems. In response, Patent Document 1 discloses a defecation bag that can be attached around the anus. This defecation bag includes a bag portion, and the bag portion can be attached around the anus to cover the area around the anus. A finger can be inserted into the anus through a finger insertion portion formed in the bag portion, and the feces scraped out with a finger can be accommodated inside the bag portion. Thereby, the scattering of feces and the like can be suppressed.

[0005] However, the defecation bag of Patent Document 1 has a flange-shaped adhesive portion provided around the opening of a tubular bag portion with one end open, and this adhesive portion is formed in a circular shape. Therefore, it is difficult to conform to the shape of large buttocks, and the gap between the defecation bag and the buttocks can become large. In addition, since a sack-shaped finger insertion portion is provided, the working feeling of the fingertip is different from the conventional method of wearing gloves, and the usability can be reduced.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] The defecation bag according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] (Configuration of the defecation bag) FIG. 1 shows a front view of a defecation bag 1 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a rear view of the defecation bag 1. The defecation bag 1 is used when performing defecation on a defecation target person in the lateral lying position. The defecation target person is, for example, an in-patient or an elderly person who has difficulty defecating on their own, but means a person who widely receives defecation treatment regardless of age, health condition, gender, etc.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the fecal excision bag 1 comprises a bag body 1b and a first attachment portion 41 and a second attachment portion 42 provided on the bag body 1b. When using the fecal excision bag 1, it is attached to the buttocks of the person receiving fecal excision via the first attachment portion 41 and the second attachment portion 42. In Figure 2, for ease of explanation, numerous wavy lines are shown in the area where the first attachment portion 41 and the second attachment portion 42 are provided.

[0025] First, let's describe the bag body 1b. The bag body 1b has a front sheet 10 and a back sheet 20, and the front sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are joined together to form a storage section 30 that opens upwards. Reference numeral 31 in Figures 1 and 2 indicates the opening of the storage section 30 that opens upwards. The storage section 30 is positioned so that when the fecal excision bag 1 is attached to the person receiving fecal excision, the opening 31 faces upwards to receive the stool that is scooped out by the excision from above. The storage section 30 receives the stool inside through the opening 31.

[0026] The surface sheet 10 includes an upper edge 11, a lower edge 12 located opposite the upper edge 11, and left edge 13L and right edge 13R located between the ends of the upper edge 11 and the lower edge 12. The back sheet 20 also includes an upper edge 21, a lower edge 22 located opposite the upper edge 21, and left edge 23L and right edge 23R located between the ends of the upper edge 21 and the lower edge 22.

[0027] In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 11p indicates the upper part of the surface sheet 10, including the upper edge 11, and reference numeral 12p indicates the lower part of the surface sheet 10, including the lower edge 12. Reference numeral 13Lp indicates the left side of the surface sheet 10, including the left edge 13L, and reference numeral 13Rp indicates the right side of the surface sheet 10, including the right edge 13R. Similarly, reference numeral 21p indicates the upper part of the back sheet 20, including the upper edge 21, and reference numeral 22p indicates the lower part of the back sheet 20, including the lower edge 22. Reference numeral 23Lp indicates the left side of the back sheet 20, including the left edge 23L, and reference numeral 23Rp indicates the right side of the back sheet 20, including the right edge 23R.

[0028] The bag body 1b includes a joint 32 that connects the lower parts (12p, 22p) of the front sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 with the portions that extend upward from these lower parts (12p, 22p) on both sides of the front sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 (13Lp, 13Rp and 23Lp, 23Rp). The storage compartment 30 is defined by this joint 32. The joint 32 is generally formed in a U-shape.

[0029] In this embodiment, the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are made of thermoplastic resin, and the joint 32 is formed by heat sealing the overlapping surface sheet 10 and back sheet 20. The heat sealing of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 may be performed by heating with a heat sealer or by ultrasonic bonding. The joint 32 may also be formed by bonding the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 with an adhesive or the like. The surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are more specifically made of a soft thermoplastic resin, and the bag body 1b is flexible.

[0030] The storage section 30 is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape that tapers downwards. This improves the usability of the fecal excision bag 1. However, the shape of the joint section 32 and the storage section 30 is not particularly limited.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lower edges (12, 22) of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are the same shape. In addition, a portion of the side edges (13L, 13R and 23L, 23R) of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 that extend upward from the lower edges (12, 22) are also the same shape.

[0032] The surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are overlapped such that their respective lower edges (12, 22) coincide with each other, and a portion of the side edges (13L, 13R and 23L, 23R) extending upward from the lower edges (12, 22) coincide with each other, and in this state the aforementioned joint 32 is formed. Therefore, neither the lower edge 12 of the surface sheet 10 nor the lower edge 22 of the back sheet 20 protrudes over the other. In the portion of the side edges (13L, 13R and 23L, 23R) of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 extending upward from the lower edges (12, 22), neither the surface sheet 10 nor the back sheet 20 protrudes over the other.

[0033] On the other hand, the upper edge 11 of the surface sheet 10 is located above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20, and the surface sheet 10 extends above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20. As a result, the surface sheet 10 includes an overhang 10e that extends above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20. In other words, the vertical dimension of the surface sheet 10 is larger than the vertical dimension of the back sheet 20.

[0034] Next, the first attachment portion 41 and the second attachment portion 42 will be described. Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the fecal excision bag 1 along line III-III in Figure 1. Figure 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the fecal excision bag 1 in a state where the internal space of the storage portion 30 of the bag body 1b has been expanded by separating the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 from each other.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the first attachment portion 41 is provided on the upper part 11p of the surface sheet 10. The second attachment portion 42 is provided on the upper part 21p of the back sheet 20. The first attachment portion 41 is the part that is attached to the upper buttock of the left or right buttock of the person receiving manual disimpaction in a lateral position, and the second attachment portion 42 is the part that is attached to the lower buttock of the left or right buttock of the person receiving manual disimpaction in a lateral position.

[0036] Since the surface sheet 10 extends above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20, the first adhesive portion 41 is located above the second adhesive portion 42. More specifically, the first adhesive portion 41 is provided on the protruding portion 10e including the upper part 11p of the surface sheet 10 and is located above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20 on the surface sheet 10.

[0037] Figure 3 shows the buttocks 100 (corresponding to the left and right buttocks) of a person to be subjected to manual disimpaction, where the symbol 100L indicates the left buttock and the symbol 100R indicates the right buttock. In the example in Figure 3, the right buttock 100R is positioned higher than the left buttock 100L. When using the manual disimpaction bag 1 in this situation, the first attachment part 41 is attached to the right buttock 100R and the second attachment part 42 is attached to the left buttock 100L.

[0038] The first adhesive portion 41 is provided on the upper inner surface of the surface sheet 10 facing the back sheet 20. The first adhesive portion 41 is provided on the upper inner surface of the surface sheet 10 so as to extend from the left edge 13L to the right edge 13R. The first adhesive portion 41 is also formed in a strip shape with a longitudinal direction in the left-right direction. The second adhesive portion 42 is provided on the upper outer surface of the back sheet 20 opposite to the surface facing the surface sheet 10. The second adhesive portion 42 is provided on the upper outer surface of the back sheet 20 so as to extend from the left edge 23L to the right edge 23R. The second adhesive portion 42 is also formed in a strip shape with a longitudinal direction in the left-right direction.

[0039] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the joints 32 on both sides (13Lp, 13Rp and 23Lp, 23Rp) of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are spaced apart downward from the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42. This ensures the flexibility of the bag body 1b, making it easier to attach the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 to the buttocks 100L and 100R.

[0040] The first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 are formed of an adhesive material, but the material is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 are formed of karaya rubber, but they may be formed of other rubber-based adhesives, acrylic adhesives, silicone adhesives, urethane adhesives, or materials with excellent biocompatibility, for example.

[0041] At least one of the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 (both in this example) is formed in a curved shape that is recessed downwards, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Similarly, the upper edge 11 of the surface sheet 10 and the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20 are also formed in a curved shape that is recessed downwards. Specifically, the second adhesive portion 42 is recessed more significantly downwards than the first adhesive portion 41, and the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20 is recessed more significantly downwards than the upper edge 11 of the surface sheet 10. However, such shapes can be appropriately selected according to the dimensional ratio between the fecal excretion bag 1 and the buttocks.

[0042] Next, the details of the manual disimpaction bag 1 will be described. The surface sheet 10 has a finger-penetrating portion 14 through which the fingers of the person performing the manual disimpaction can pass. In this embodiment, the finger-penetrating portion 14 includes a through-hole 14a that penetrates the surface sheet 10 and a notch 14c that recesses from one of the two side edges of the surface sheet 10 (the right edge 13R in this example) to the other (the left edge 13L in this example). The finger-penetrating portion 14 is located above the storage portion 30 of the surface sheet 10 and is provided below the first adhesive portion 41.

[0043] After the manual disimpaction bag 1 is attached to the person to be disimpaction via the first attachment part 41 and the second attachment part 42, the person performing the procedure can put on gloves and insert their fingers through the through-hole 14a to perform the procedure. Alternatively, the person performing the procedure can also put on gloves and stretch the notch 14c with their fingers to a position that makes it easier to perform the procedure.

[0044] The through-hole 14a of the finger-penetrating portion 14 is located in the center or near the center in the left-right direction of the protruding portion 10e. Specifically, when viewed from the surface sheet 10 towards the back sheet 20, it is positioned to the left of the center of the protruding portion 10e, as shown in Figure 1. The shape of the through-hole 14a is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment it is formed in a circular shape. On the other hand, the notch 14c is located in the portion of the surface sheet 10 that is above the storage portion 30, and below the protruding portion 10e.

[0045] As described above, the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are formed of thermoplastic resin, but in this embodiment, more specifically, the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are formed of an elastic thermoplastic resin. If the through-hole 14a is formed to be slightly smaller than a finger, a finger inserted into the through-hole 14a can widen the through-hole 14a and make close contact with the surface sheet 10. Also, when passing a finger through the notch 14c, the portion of the surface sheet 10 around the notch 14c can be stretched to its resilience, allowing the finger to be inserted into the anus. Considering elasticity and heat sealing treatment, the materials for the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 may be urethane, polyvinyl chloride, nitrile rubber, latex, etc. On the other hand, if only heat sealing treatment is important, the materials for the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 may be polyethylene, etc.

[0046] Furthermore, when viewed from the surface sheet 10 towards the back sheet 20 (i.e., in a front view), the upper right portion of the back sheet 20, which is located on the right side, is positioned higher than the upper left portion of the opposite side. Moreover, the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20 is curved so that it approaches the first attachment portion 41 of the surface sheet 10 as it moves from the center towards the right edge. This allows the corner 24 where the upper edge 21 and the right edge 23R of the back sheet 20 intersect to be sandwiched between the left and right thighs, thereby stabilizing the attachment of the fecal excision bag 1.

[0047] The fecal excision bag 1 according to this embodiment is designed to be suitable for fecal excision in a lateral recumbent position with the left buttock facing downwards. Corresponding to this design, the upper right corner 24 of the back sheet 20 is positioned to be held between the left and right thighs of the fecal excision recipient. However, if the fecal excision bag 1 is to be designed to be suitable for fecal excision in a lateral recumbent position with the right buttock facing downwards, the shapes of the front sheet 10 and back sheet 20 shown in Figure 1 may be reversed horizontally, so that the upper left corner of the back sheet 20 is positioned to be held between the left and right thighs of the fecal excision recipient. In other words, in Figure 1, when viewed from the front sheet 10 towards the back sheet 20, the notch 14c is located on the right side. However, if it is reversed horizontally as described above, the entire fecal excision bag 1 shown in Figure 1 is reversed horizontally. In this case, the notch 14c is located on the left side.

[0048] Furthermore, the corners where the upper edge 11 of the surface sheet 10 intersects with both side edges (13L, 13R) are formed in a curved shape when viewed from the surface sheet 10 towards the back sheet 20. The corners where the lower edge of the bag body 1b intersects with both side edges are also formed in a curved shape when viewed from the surface sheet 10 towards the back sheet 20.

[0049] (Instructions for using a manual disimpaction bag) Next, referring to Figures 4 and 5, we will explain an example of the procedure for using the manual disimpaction bag 1 and the process of performing manual disimpaction.

[0050] Figures 4 and 5 show the buttocks 100 of a patient undergoing manual disimpaction, including the left buttock 100L and the right buttock 100R. The patient is in a lateral decubitus position with the left buttock 100L facing downwards, and the right buttock 100R is positioned above the left buttock 100L. Reference numeral 101L indicates the left thigh, and reference numeral 101R indicates the right thigh. Reference numeral 200R indicates the right hand of the practitioner, and reference numeral 200L indicates the left hand of the practitioner.

[0051] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, first, the fecal excision bag 1 is attached to the buttocks 100 of the person to be excised while they are lying on their side. At this time, the back sheet 20 faces the buttocks 100, and the second attachment part 42 is attached to the left buttock 100L with its longitudinal direction aligned in the direction extending from the left buttock 100L to the left thigh 101L. The first attachment part 41 is attached to the right buttock 100R with its longitudinal direction aligned in the direction extending from the right buttock 100R to the right thigh 101R. Before use, protective sheets (not shown) are attached to the first attachment part 41 and the second attachment part 42, respectively. The protective sheets are peeled off when attaching the first attachment part 41 and the second attachment part 42.

[0052] The second adhesive portion 42 is attached to one side of the left buttock 100L separately from the first adhesive portion 41. The second adhesive portion 42 is formed in a curved shape that is recessed downwards and is attached along the shape of the left buttock 100L. This allows the second adhesive portion 42 to be attached to the left buttock 100L in a stable state. Specifically, for example, the second adhesive portion 42 can be attached while spanning from the tailbone to the left thigh 101L and following the shape of the left buttock 100L, thus ensuring stability during attachment. Furthermore, good sealing performance is achieved between the second adhesive portion 42 and the left buttock 100L.

[0053] Furthermore, when attaching the second attachment portion 42 to the left buttock 100L, the corner portion 24 of the back sheet 20 is sandwiched between the left and right thigh portions 101L and 101R, as shown in Figure 4. This allows the attachment of the fecal excision bag 1 to be more stable and reduces the gap between the fecal excision bag 1 and the buttock 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the first adhesive portion 41 is attached to one side of the right buttock 100R separately from the second adhesive portion 42. The first adhesive portion 41 is also formed in a curved shape that is concave downwards, and is attached along the shape of the right buttock 100R. This allows the first adhesive portion 41 to be attached to the right buttock 100R in a stable state. Specifically, for example, the first adhesive portion 41 can be attached while spanning from the tailbone to the right thigh 101R and following the shape of the right buttock 100R, thus ensuring stability during attachment. This also results in good sealing between the first adhesive portion 41 and the right buttock 100R.

[0055] When the first attachment portion 41 and the second attachment portion 42 are attached to the left and right buttocks 100L and 100R in this manner, the opening 31 of the storage portion 30 of the fecal excision bag 1 faces upward.

[0056] Subsequently, the practitioner inserts the fingers of their right hand 200R, for example, wearing a medical-grade elastic glove, into the penetration opening 14a and inserts it into the anus of the person to be disimpacted. Then, the disimpact is performed by drawing out the stool accumulated in the rectum of the person to be disimpacted with the fingers. At this time, the area around the anus is covered with the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20, which can suppress the scattering of stool and the spread of odor that may occur during disimpact. In addition, as described above, the gap between the disimpact bag 1 and the buttocks 100 can be made smaller, which can further suppress the spread of odor. In the example described above, the first adhesive part 41 is applied after the second adhesive part 42 is applied, but this order may be reversed.

[0057] Figure 5 shows the actual procedure when performing manual disimpaction. With the manual disimpaction bag 1, the person performing the procedure can insert the fingers of their right hand 200R through the opening 14a, allowing them to perform the procedure with the same feel as when performing a conventional manual disimpaction without using the manual disimpaction bag 1. Therefore, the person performing the procedure can perform the procedure with the same feel in their fingertips as before, resulting in improved usability.

[0058] The fecal disimpaction bag 1 according to the embodiment described above has a front sheet 10 and a back sheet 20, and the front sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are joined to each other so as to form a storage section 30 that opens upward, and the bag body 1b has a front sheet 10 that extends upward above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20, and a first attachment section 41 provided on the upper part 11p of the front sheet 10 and attached to the upper buttock of the left or right buttock of the person to be disimpaction in a lateral position, and a second attachment section 42 provided on the upper part of the back sheet 20 and attached to the lower buttock of the left or right buttock of the person to be disimpaction. The front sheet 10 has finger-through sections 14 (14a, 14c) through which the fingers of the person performing the fecal disimpaction can be passed.

[0059] In this type of fecal disimpaction bag 1, as described above, the first attachment part 41 can be attached to the right buttock 100R. The second attachment part 42 can be attached to the left buttock 100L. This ensures stability during attachment and provides good sealing. It also reduces the gap between the fecal disimpaction bag 1 and the left and right buttocks 100L and 100R. The area around the anus is covered by the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20. This helps to suppress the scattering of feces and the spread of odor that may occur during fecal disimpaction. Furthermore, since the fecal disimpaction bag 1 is mainly made by joining two surface sheets 10 and back sheet 20, it can be easily manufactured. Moreover, since the practitioner can insert the fingers of a gloved hand through the opening 14a, it is possible to perform fecal disimpaction with the same fingertip sensation as in conventional fecal disimpaction procedures that do not use the fecal disimpaction bag 1.

[0060] Therefore, the fecal excision bag 1 according to this embodiment can effectively suppress the scattering of feces and the spread of odor that may occur during fecal excision, and furthermore, it can be easily manufactured while ensuring good usability.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the finger-through portion 14 is located above the storage portion 30 on the surface sheet 10. This makes it easier for the practitioner to move the finger through the finger-through portion 14 to the anus of the person being disimpactioned, thereby improving ease of use. Moreover, leakage of stool from the through-hole 14a can be suppressed.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the finger-penetrating portion 14 includes a through-hole 14a that penetrates the surface sheet 10. In this case, the finger-penetrating portion 14 can be easily manufactured. The through-hole 14a is located above the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20 on the surface sheet 10 (protruding portion 10e). As a result, the through-hole 14a is located further above the storage portion 30, making it easier for the practitioner to move their finger, which has been inserted through the through-hole 14a as the finger-penetrating portion 14, towards the anus of the person being disimpactioned. Also, when the disimpaction bag 1 is attached to the buttocks 100 of the person being disimpactioned, the through-hole 14a can be positioned to face the anus. This improves ease of use.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the finger-penetrating portion 14 further includes a notch 14c that recesses from one of the two side edges (13L, 13R) of the surface sheet 10 (the right edge 13R in this example) to the other side (the left edge 13L). In this case, the practitioner can perform fecal disimpaction with a finger inserted through the notch 14c.

[0064] Figure 6 illustrates another procedure for using the manual disimpaction bag 1, specifically showing how to use the notch 14c. When performing manual disimpaction using the notch 14c, as shown in Figure 6(A), the fingers of the right hand 200R are placed in contact with the notch 14c, and as shown in Figure 6(B), the notch 14c can be extended to a position that facilitates manual disimpaction. When using the notch 14c in this way, the practitioner can move their fingers to a position that makes the procedure easier, thus improving ease of use.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 are made of an elastic material. In this case, the through-hole 14a is formed to be slightly smaller than a finger, so that a finger inserted into the through-hole 14a can widen the through-hole 14a and make close contact with the surface sheet 10. Therefore, the scattering of feces and the spread of odor can be effectively suppressed. In addition, if the finger-penetrating portion 14 includes a notch 14c, the notch 14c can be stretched in a resilient manner, improving the ease of use when performing manual disimpaction using the notch 14c.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 are formed in a curved shape that is recessed downwards. This makes it easier for the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 to conform to the shape of the buttocks, thereby improving stability during application.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when viewing the back sheet 20 from the front sheet 10, the right side of the upper edge 21 of the back sheet 20, which is located on the right side, is positioned higher than the opposite left side of the upper edge 21. As a result, the corner 24 where the upper edge 21 and the right edge 23R of the back sheet 20 intersect is formed to taper towards the upper right. By sandwiching this corner 24 between the left and right thighs when attaching the fecal excretion bag 1 to the buttocks 100, the attachment of the fecal excretion bag 1 can be stabilized. Moreover, the situation in which feces may be scattered onto the thighs can be effectively suppressed.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper edge of the back sheet 20 is formed in a curved shape so that it approaches the first adhesive portion 41 of the front sheet 10 as it moves from the center towards the right edge. In this case, the aforementioned corner portion 24 can be made to conform more easily to the shape of the buttocks of the person receiving manual disimpaction, thereby allowing the corner portion 24 to function more effectively.

[0069] Furthermore, the bag body 1b in this embodiment includes a joint 32 that defines the storage section 30 by joining the lower parts (12p, 22p) of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 with the portions extending upward from the lower parts (12p, 22p) on both sides of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 (13Lp, 13Rp and 23Lp, 23Rp). The joints on both sides of the surface sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 (13Lp, 13Rp and 23Lp, 23Rp) are spaced downward from the second adhesive portion 42. This ensures the flexibility of the bag body 1b, making it easier to attach the first adhesive portion 41 and the second adhesive portion 42 to the buttocks 100L, 100R.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the corners where the lower edge and both side edges of the bag body 1b intersect, and the corners where the upper edge and both side edges of the surface sheet intersect, are formed in a curved shape. In this case, it is possible to suppress the possibility of pain or skin injury to the person receiving fecal disimpaction at the corners of the fecal disimpaction bag 1.

[0071] (Other embodiments) Figure 7 shows a fecal disimpaction bag 1' according to another embodiment. The fecal disimpaction bag 1' differs from the above embodiment in that the finger penetration portion 14 does not have a through-hole 14a, but only a notch 14c. This embodiment is advantageous in terms of ease of manufacture. Furthermore, a fecal disimpaction bag according to yet another embodiment, although not shown, may not have a notch 14c, but only a through-hole 14a.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely examples of how the present invention can be implemented, and it is possible to carry out the present invention in various other forms. For example, various modifications, substitutions, omissions, or combinations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Such modified, substituted, or omission forms are also included within the scope of the present invention, as well as within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as described in the claims.
