Abstract: The present invention provides an incubator in which there is no particular need to interpose annular shaped packing, which is capable of substantially maintaining airtightness between a base frame positioned in the vicinity of an outer periphery of a service port and a service door, between the vicinity of the outer periphery of the service port and the service door. The incubator includes a substantially ring-shaped insertion groove that is formed in an inner face of the service door so as to substantially run along an outer periphery of the inner face, and a substantially ring-shaped outer peripheral portion that is formed to the base frame, and is configured such that a substantially ring-shaped leading end of the substantially ring-shaped outer peripheral portion can be inserted in a substantially ring shape into the substantially ring-shaped insertion groove.

Abstract: An incubator is provided that prevents damage to the arm of an operator when an arm abuts against the upper end segment of a baby guard relatively hard while inserting the arm into an infant accommodation space. The walls of the baby guards around the infant accommodation space have bent segments that are sufficiently strong to serve as a guard structure on the periphery of the infant accommodation space. Each of the bent segments in the upper end segments of the walls includes an inclined segment and a substantially horizontal segment integrally connected to a distal end of the inclined segment. At least some of the walls can pivot between upward and downward positions, thereby closing or revealing cassette trays.

Abstract: A gas supply mask apparatus allows a mask wearer to inhale a gas such as oxygen gas such that air in a mask main body does not much mix in the gas approaching substantially lower ends and the vicinities of the nostrils of the mask wearer in the mask main body. In this gas supply mask apparatus, a gas introduction opening for introducing a gas such as oxygen gas and water vapor into the mask main body includes a first gas introduction opening capable of introducing the gas in, e.g., a bundle-like state into the mask main body, and a second gas introduction opening capable of introducing the second gas into the mask main body so as to surround, in a substantially ring-like state, the above-mentioned, first gas in a bundle-like state introduced into the mask main body from the first gas introduction opening.

Abstract: A gas supply mask apparatus has low possibility that a gas rising in a mask main body will flow out from the upper end and the surrounding vicinity of the mask main body and give discomfort to the eyes of a mask wearer. In this gas supply mask apparatus, an angle formed between a direction in which a gas introduction opening faces and a virtual vertical plane facing right frontways falls within the range of 30° to 60° (preferably, the range of 35° to 55°, and more preferably, the range of 40° to 50°) when the mask main body is viewed right sideways.

Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) therapeutic apparatus includes a body portion formed of a light-weight resin material into a rectangular housing; a printed circuit board including a plurality of LEDs having different emission colors mounted linearly in a plurality of rows at required intervals; a thermal radiating plate provided with a plurality of thermal radiating studs formed of a light-weight thermally conductive material; and a transparent plate mounted on an opening surface of the body portion. The thermal radiating plate is mounted in tight contact in the body portion, and the printed circuit board is mounted in tight contact with the heat radiating studs. The heat generated by the LEDs is radiated from the surface of the body portion via the thermal radiating plate from the thermal radiating studs. The LEDs may be maintained to a junction allowable temperature or lower so that a long life span without noise is achieved.

Abstract: An infant incubator including: an infant chamber in which an infant is placed; an air-supply passage for supplying supply-air to the infant chamber; and a heater equipment for heating the supply-air having a mount base which is mounted in the air-supply passage and a heater which is held to the mount base rotatably, wherein the heater has: a support part provided at a base end of the heater and supported by the mount base rotatably; and a heating part provided at a top end of the heater and heating the supply-air, and the heating part is formed by winding a heating-wire into a coil-shape and disposed so that an axial direction of the coil-shape is orthogonal to a flow direction of the supply-air passing through the air-supply passage.

Abstract: An infant incubator including: a bed of an infant; a first supporting-shaft disposed obliquely above the bed, extends substantially horizontally, and rotatable back and forth at a predetermined extent around an axis; a rotation stay fixed to and rotated with the first supporting-shaft; a second supporting-shaft provided with the rotation stay and parallel to the first supporting-shaft; and a heater disposed obliquely above the bed, attached to the rotation stay rotatably back and forth at a predetermined extent around the second supporting-shaft, and configured to emit a heat ray obliquely to an upper surface of the bed, wherein a position of the heater can be varied between a heating position for emitting the heat ray and a folding position for moving away from above the bed; and at the heating position, an emission angle of the heat ray from the heater is further varied.

Abstract: A hand insertion door board is attached to the peripheral portion of each hand insertion window formed in an outside portion of a newborn infant container of an incubator. A holding portion is formed on one side portion of the hand insertion door board in the lateral direction. A bracket which pivotally supports a support shaft having a vertical axis is attached to the holding portion. A latch lever is pivotally supported by the support shaft of the bracket. A press lever which releases latching operation of the latch lever is pivotally attached by using the support shaft of the bracket. When the press lever is pressed against the biasing force of a compression coil spring, the press lever presses projecting pieces of the latch lever to make the latch lever pivot about the support shaft to the release position.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a movable wall portion for forming the outer circumference of an infant accommodation space can pivot forward about a portion of a region including the lower end portion and its vicinity of the movable wall portion from a substantially erect position to the outside of the infant accommodation space.
