Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a splash prevention sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] In environments where customers are served face-to-face, such as at checkout counters in supermarkets and convenience stores, transparent partitions are sometimes installed between people facing each other to prevent droplet infection.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a droplet infection prevention device having a polyethylene terephthalate film. The droplet infection prevention device is used by suspending the film, and is installed so that there is a gap between the bottom end of the film and the table surface large enough for a user to give or receive products. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3227065 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, with the droplet infection prevention device, when a user is giving or receiving a product underneath the film, there is a risk that the user's hand may come into contact with the lower edge and be injured.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the current situation, and its object is to provide a splash prevention sheet that is less likely to injure the user's hands. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The splash prevention sheet of the present invention is a splash prevention sheet that is hung to block splashes from an opposing person, and has a sheet body formed in a sheet shape, and when hung, the sheet body has a wavy lower edge.

[0008] With this configuration, the shape of the lower edge of the sheet body is wavy, which prevents the user's hands from coming into contact with the lower edge of the sheet body and being injured when, for example, receiving or handing over a product below the sheet body.

[0009] In the splash prevention sheet according to the present invention, both side edges of the sheet body may be corrugated when the sheet is suspended.

[0010] With this configuration, since both side edges of the sheet body are corrugated, it is possible to prevent the user's hands from coming into contact with the both side edges of the sheet body and being injured when cleaning or replacing the splash prevention sheet.

[0011] In the splash prevention sheet according to the present invention, the sheet body may be rectangular, and each corner located at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the lower edge may be rounded.

[0012] According to this configuration, the corners of the square-shaped sheet body are rounded to form curved shapes, which can prevent the user's hands from coming into contact with the corners of the sheet body and getting injured. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a splash prevention sheet that is less likely to injure the user's hands. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view of the splash prevention sheet of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a corner of the splash prevention sheet of FIG. [Figure 3]FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the splash prevention sheet of FIG. 1 in an exploded form. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] An embodiment of a splash prevention sheet 1 according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the up-down direction refers to the direction along the Y axis in Fig. 1, and the left-right direction refers to the direction along the X axis in Fig. 1.

[0016] 1 to 3, the splash prevention sheet 1 according to this embodiment includes a sheet body 2 and a fastener 3 for fastening the sheet body 2. The splash prevention sheet 1 according to the present invention is used by hanging it down to block splashes from an opposing person.

[0017] The seat body 2 is formed in a sheet shape. The seat body 2 is formed in a quadrangular shape, and edges 21 located at both ends in the vertical direction and both ends in the horizontal direction are arranged to face each other. The seat body 2 also has corners 22 at both ends of each edge 21 located at both ends in the vertical direction.

[0018] The sheet body 2 is formed from a synthetic resin film. A flexible film transmits sound more easily than a hard plate. This makes it easier for the user to hear the other person's voice when talking with the splash prevention sheet 1 sandwiched between them. The synthetic resin that forms the film is not particularly limited, and examples include thermoplastic resins such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene.

[0019] The edge 21 includes an upper edge 21a located at the top end in the vertical direction, a lower edge 21b located at the bottom end in the vertical direction, and side edges 21c located at both ends in the left-right direction. The lower edge 21b is formed in a wave shape to prevent injury to the hand. In this embodiment, the lower edge 21b and the side edges 21c are formed in a wave shape to further prevent injury to the hand. The wave shape is preferably a sine wave with an arc to prevent injury to the hand.

[0020] Corners 22 are located at both ends of lower edge 21b in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1) (i.e., the lower end of side edge 21c in the up-down direction) and at both ends of upper edge 21a in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the upper end of side edge 21c in the up-down direction). As shown in FIG. 2, lower corners 22a located at both ends of lower edge 21b in the left-right direction are rounded and curved to prevent injury to the hands.

[0021] The fixing device 3 includes an upper edge mounting device 31 attached to the upper end portion including the upper edge 21a of the sheet body 2, and a hanging portion 32 for hanging the sheet body 2 fixed to the fixing device 3. The fixing device 3 is hung on a hook or the like installed on the ceiling while holding the sheet body 2. Specifically, while the upper edge mounting device 31 holds the sheet body 2, the hanging portion 32 is hung on a hook or the like installed on the ceiling. This allows the splash prevention sheet 1 to be hung and used.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, the upper edge attachment fixture 31 is formed from a pair of opposing rectangular pieces 31a that face each other, and a connecting piece 31b that connects the upper ends of the pair of opposing pieces 31a in the short direction (the up-down direction in Fig. 1), and has a substantially U-shaped cross section. The upper edge attachment fixture 31 clamps the upper end including the upper edge 21a of the sheet main body 2, and holds the sheet main body 2. There are no particular limitations on the material from which the upper edge attachment fixture 31 is made, and examples include paper, synthetic resin, etc.

[0023] The hanging portion 32 is formed in the shape of a long, thin string. The material from which the hanging portion 32 is formed is not particularly limited, and examples include strings made of cotton, linen, resin, etc., and metal wire. Both ends of the hanging portion 32 are connected to the upper edge mounting fixture 31. The hanging portion 32 is hung from a hook or the like installed on the ceiling, etc. This allows the splash prevention sheet 1 to be hung and used.

[0024] The sheet body 2 is fixed to the fixture 3 by inserting the upper edge 21a between a pair of opposing pieces 31a of an elastically deformed upper edge mounting fixture 31. When removing the sheet body 2 from the fixing fixture 3, the spacing between the pair of opposing pieces 31a is widened against the elastic force of the upper edge mounting fixture 31, and the upper edge 21a is removed from between the pair of opposing pieces 31a of the upper edge mounting fixture 31. This makes it possible to freely remove and attach the sheet body 2. For example, when cleaning the splash prevention sheet 1, only the sheet body 2 can be removed and cleaned.

[0025] The splash prevention sheet 1 of this embodiment comprises a sheet-shaped sheet body 2, and when the sheet body 2 is suspended, the lower edge 21b is wavy, which prevents the user's hands from coming into contact with the lower edge 21b of the sheet body 2 and being injured when, for example, receiving or handing over goods below the sheet body 2.

[0026] In the splash prevention sheet 1 of this embodiment, when it is hung, both side edges 21c of the sheet main body 2 are wavy, which prevents the user's hands from coming into contact with and being injured by the both side edges 21c of the sheet main body 2 when cleaning or replacing the splash prevention sheet 1, etc.

[0027] In the splash prevention sheet 1 of this embodiment, the sheet body 2 is rectangular in shape, and each corner 22a located at both ends of the lower edge 21b in the longitudinal direction is rounded and curved, thereby preventing the user's hands from coming into contact with the corners 22a of the sheet body 2 and being injured.

[0028] The splash prevention sheet according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the configurations, methods, etc. of the above-described multiple embodiments may be arbitrarily adopted and combined (the configurations, methods, etc. of one embodiment may be applied to the configurations, methods, etc. of other embodiments), and further, the configurations, methods, etc. of the various modified examples described below may be arbitrarily selected and adopted in the configurations, methods, etc. of the above-described embodiments.

[0029] For example, in the above embodiment, the seat body 2 is rectangular, but it may be a polygon other than a rectangle or a circle. Furthermore, both the lower corner 22a and the upper corner 22b may be rounded. Furthermore, the corner 22 does not have to be rounded, and if rounding is not performed, the tip of the corner 22 may be cut out. Eliminating the sharp tip can prevent the user's hand from coming into contact with the corner 22 of the seat body 2 and being injured.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the waveform of the lower edge 21b is formed continuously, but it may be formed intermittently. By forming a waveform at a location where the user's hand may come into contact, it is possible to prevent the hand from being injured. The waveform may also be a shape that does not have an arc, such as a square wave, a triangular wave, or a sawtooth wave.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the splash prevention sheet 1 includes the fixing device 3, but it may also be configured without the fixing device 3. For example, the sheet body 2 may have mounting holes drilled therein and be attached to a fixture such as a ceiling. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fixing device 3 includes the upper edge mounting device 31 and the hanging portion 32 as separate, separable bodies, but the upper edge mounting device 31 and the hanging portion 32 may also be formed integrally.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the upper edge mounting fixture 31 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, but may have any cross-sectional shape as long as it can be attached to the upper end of the seat main body 2. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the seat main body 2 is held by clamping the upper end including the upper edge 21a of the seat main body 2 between the upper edge mounting fixture 31, but the seat main body 2 may also be held to the upper edge mounting fixture 31 by fixing the upper end including the upper edge 21a of the seat main body 2 to the upper edge mounting fixture 31 with an adhesive or the like. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the fixing fixture 3 includes the upper edge mounting fixture 31 and the hanging portion 32, but is not limited to this and may, for example, be configured without the upper edge mounting fixture 31. In such a case, the hanging portion 32 may be connected to the seat main body 2.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the splash prevention sheet 1 is suspended by using the suspension part 32, but it may also be configured not to use the suspension part 32. For example, by providing a hole in the upper edge mounting fixture 31 for inserting a hook or the like installed on the ceiling or the like, the splash prevention sheet 1 can be suspended without using the suspension part 32.
