AI Technical Summary
AED storage devices made of metal impede radio wave communication due to shielding effects, while non-metal materials lack strength and rigidity.
The AED storage device is constructed with a metal main body and a door and exterior wall components made of materials that do not block radio waves, such as synthetic resin, allowing for unhindered communication while maintaining structural integrity.
The device ensures effective radio wave communication and high strength and rigidity by using a metal frame with radio-transparent components, preventing deformation due to thermal expansion differences.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to an AED storage device that does not impede the communication function of the AED stored inside. [Background technology]
[0002] AED storage devices for storing AEDs are generally made of metal, and the radio wave shielding effect of metal attenuates the radio waves used by the AED for communication. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3178350 [Patent Document 2] Utility model registration No. 3213858 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Some AEDs (automated external defibrillators) have the ability to remotely communicate information about their condition and operation via radio waves, but many AED storage devices are made of metal, which has the problem of impeding this communication function due to the radio wave shielding effect of the metal. Furthermore, the above-mentioned prior art devices have bodies made of hard urethane foam and paper, respectively, which are less likely to block radio waves, but the materials used make them unreliable in terms of strength and rigidity. The present invention aims to provide an AED storage device that is strong and rigid while preventing radio waves from being blocked. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] This device solves the above-mentioned problem by constructing the main body of the AED storage device out of metal and constructing the door and part of the exterior wall out of a material that does not easily block radio waves. [Effects of the Invention] )
[0006] As described above, by constructing the basic structure of the main body from metal, the storage device can effectively utilize the AED's communication function while maintaining high strength and rigidity. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of a communication terminal compatible AED storage device of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing one embodiment of the AED storage device. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a right side view showing one embodiment of the AED storage device. [Figure 4] This is a cross-sectional view of the AED storage device, showing the side of the main body as seen from inside the device. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the attachment of an outer plate of one embodiment of the AED storage device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The main body of the AED storage device is made of metal, and a door made of a material that does not easily block radio waves, such as synthetic resin, is provided on the front part of the device via a hinge so that it can be opened and closed freely.A part of the outer wall of the main body is hollowed out, and a plate material such as synthetic resin is attached to the hollowed out part. [Example]
[0009] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is the AED storage device body formed by bending and welding a metal plate, and an AED is stored inside for use. 2 is a synthetic resin door, 3 is a hinge that attaches the door to the body, and 5 is a synthetic resin plate installed in the opening on the side of the body 6. Plate 5 is attached to a male stud screw 9 attached to the side plate of the body using a washer 8, a nut 10, and a spacer 11 to sandwich plate 5. Spacer 11 is the same thickness as plate 5 or slightly longer so that the pressing force of washer 8 is not directly transmitted.
[0010] Since one embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, radio waves transmitted and received by the AED with communication function stored inside the main body pass through the synthetic resin plates of the door and exterior wall without interfering with the communication function. In addition, by making the storage device main body out of metal, it is possible to maintain high strength and rigidity. If the synthetic resin plate material on the exterior wall and the metal component of the exterior wall are fixed by screws or adhesive, when the storage device is exposed to a high temperature environment, the difference in their thermal expansion coefficients will cause a difference in length, which could cause the synthetic resin plate to deform. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the synthetic resin plate and the metal exterior wall are movable relative to each other, so even if a difference in length occurs due to temperature changes, deformation due to this effect can be prevented.
