Abstract

A coating device as a device for coating a long member ( 40 ) for medical use, the coating device comprising: a support part ( 2 ) capable of supporting the long member ( 40 ); and a discharge port ( 15 ) which is provided in the support part ( 2 ) or disposed at a higher location than the support part ( 2 ) and from which liquid to be applied to the long member ( 40 ) is discharged.

Claims (37)

1 . A coating device for coating a long member for medical use, the coating device comprising:

a support part capable of supporting the long member for medical use; and

a discharge port which is provided in the support part or disposed at a higher location than the support part and from which liquid to be applied to the long member is discharged,

wherein the support part has a recess at an upper surface, and the discharge port is provided at a surface of the recess.

2 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is provided at a position including a lowermost point of an inner bottom surface of the recess.

3 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the support part and the discharge port are configured so that the liquid is discharged upward from the discharge port.

4 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the support part has a liquid pool part which is disposed around the discharge port so that the liquid discharged from the discharge port is accumulated at the liquid pool part.

5 . The coating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a pressing part that presses the long member downwardly.

6 . The coating device according to claim 5 , wherein the support part is configured to be movable in a longitudinal axis direction of the long member so as to apply the liquid, which is supplied from the discharge port, to the long member, and

the pressing part is disposed forward of the discharge port in a direction in which the support part advances in the longitudinal axis direction, and the pressing part presses the long member toward the support part.

7 . The coating device according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing part is configured to be movable in a vertical direction to press the long member.

8 . The coating device according to claim 5 , wherein the support part is configured to be movable in a longitudinal axis direction of the long member, and

the coating device further comprises:

an attachment part that is connected to the support part, extends toward the side to which the support part advances, and attaches the pressing part to the support part.

9 . The coating device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a shaft extending in a vertical direction, wherein the pressing part is disposed at a lower end portion of the shaft.

10 . The coating device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a shaft extending in a vertical direction, wherein the pressing part is disposed at the lower end portion of the shaft;

the attachment part has a through hole penetrating in the vertical direction; and

the shaft is inserted into the through hole so that the shaft is movable in the vertical direction.

11 . The coating device according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing part comprises a protrusion disposed on a surface of the recess.

12 . The coating device according to claim 11 , wherein the protrusion protrudes from the surface of the recess so as to extend in a horizontal direction or a direction perpendicular to the surface of the recess from which the protrusion protrudes.

13 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is configured to be movable in a longitudinal axis direction of the long member so as to apply the liquid to the long member.

14 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is configured to be movable in a radial direction of the long member so as to apply the liquid to the long member.

15 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is configured to be movable together with the support part.

16 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the support parts is included, and

the discharge port is provided in each of the plurality of the support parts.

17 . The coating device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first holding part that holds a first end side in a longitudinal axis direction of the long member; and

a second holding part that holds a second end side in the longitudinal axis direction of the long member, wherein at least one of the first holding part and the second holding part has a rotation mechanism that rotates the long member.

18 . The coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the long member is a member for forming a catheter.

19 . A coating device for coating a long member for medical use, the coating device comprising:

a support part capable of supporting the long member for medical use;

a discharge port which is provided in the support part or disposed at a higher location than the support part and from which liquid to be applied to the long member is discharged; and

a pressing part that presses the long member downwardly, wherein

the support part has a recess at an upper surface, and

the pressing part comprises a protrusion disposed on a surface of the recess.
