Abstract: A liquid atomization device includes: an inlet; an outlet; and a liquid atomization chamber. The liquid atomization chamber is provided in an air passage between the inlet and the outlet. The liquid atomization chamber includes a rotary shaft, a pumping pipe, a collision wall, a reservoir, and a drain port. The rotary shaft is rotated by a rotary motor and is disposed in the vertical direction. The pumping pipe includes a lower portion having a pumping port and an upper portion fixed to the rotary shaft, and is rotated in coordination with rotation of the rotary shaft to pump up water through the pumping port and centrifugally discharge the water. The pumping pipe generates, inside the pumping pipe, a whirlpool in the water in the reservoir by the rotation, and forms, at the center of the whirlpool, a void providing communication between the pumping port and the drain port.

An attachment protrusion portion provided at the guard wall portion is engageable with an attachment recess portion provided at an outer periphery vicinity of the mattress tray. An engaging protrusion portion is provided at one of the attachment protrusion portion and the attachment recess portion, and an engaging hole portion is provided at the other of the attachment protrusion portion and the attachment recess portion. The engaging hole portion is engageable with the engaging protrusion portion.

Abstract: An incubator having a cassette tray accommodation space which allows for a cassette tray to be readily stored in or taken out of the space through one of a plurality of tray loading or unloading ports. The cassette tray accommodation space includes at least two of the following: a front tray loading or unloading port, a rear tray loading or unloading port, a left tray loading or unloading port, and a right tray loading or unloading port.

Abstract: An incubator is provided in which a latch receiving portion is disposed in one of an incubator base or baby guards, a latch portion is disposed in the other of the incubator base or the baby guards, and the latch portion is configured to be unlatched by turning an operable member forward and then linearly moving the operable member forward.

Abstract: The present invention provides an incubator in which there is no concern of a user feeling pain or injuring their arm, even if their arm makes comparatively hard contact with an upper end of baby guards when the user has placed their arm inside an infant accommodation space. The baby guards are formed with a protrusion and have sufficient strength as a guard configuration body at an outer periphery of the infant accommodation space, and the width of a region inside the baby guards where observation by the user is slightly inconvenienced does not become particularly large. In the incubator, at least one of the baby guards includes the substantially rod shaped protrusion configuring an upper end of the at least one baby guard when in a substantially upright state that is substantially upward.

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: There can be provided an incubator (11) which relatively readily stores a cassette tray (61) in a cassette tray accommodation space (62) or takes out the cassette tray (61) from the cassette tray accommodation space (62) through one of a plurality of tray loading/unloading ports (63a-63c) even if a doctor or nurse performs an operation in a region including the outside of the cassette tray accommodation space (62) and its vicinity or even if a sophisticated article such as a sophisticated medical apparatus exists in the region including the outside of the cassette tray accommodation space (62) and its vicinity. In this incubator (11), the cassette tray accommodation space (62) includes at least two tray loading/unloading ports (63a-63c) of a front tray loading/unloading port (63a), a rear tray loading/unloading port, a left tray loading/unloading port (63b), and a right tray loading/unloading port (63c).

Abstract: In an infant care apparatus according to this invention, heat rays are radiated from a heat radiation opening of a heater to a bed. The direction of the heat radiation opening can be changed from the first state in which the heat radiation opening substantially faces the bed to the second state in which the heat radiation opening does not substantially face the bed. According to the infant care apparatus of this invention, when the heater is not used, there is no possibility that the remaining heat of the heater is transferred to the infant laying on the bed. There is therefore no possibility that the infant will be unnecessarily overheated. There is no need to operate the heater and the like of the infant care apparatus in such a manner that the infant lying on the bed and surrounding people have feelings that rough operation is performed. This will keep the infant and the surrounding people free from adverse effects in terms of mental health.
