Abstract

System of boxes for use in collecting and incinerating waste, in particular hospital waste, and comprising a basic box or container which is made of strong cardboard and consists of a bottom part and a cover part and also a tubular box shell which is adapted to be fixed preferably internally between said bottom part and top part and which comprises smaller insert boxes which are adapted to be contained in the basic box or container in such a manner that the latter can be filled by a preferably even number of modular boxes or insert boxes, for example 6 modular boxes of around 45 or 112 litres, or 12 modular boxes of around 22 or 55 litres. In this way, it is made possible in a simple manner to make more efficient use of known basic boxes or containers. According to the invention, these can also be used for collecting smaller portions of hospital waste from individual hospital wards, where the part quantities of hospital waste or special hospital waste are limited. <IMAGE>

Opfindelsen angår et system af kasser til brug ved indsamling og forbrænding af affald, navnlig sygehusaffald og af den i indledningen til krav 1 angivne art.The invention relates to a system of boxes for use in the collection and incineration of waste, in particular hospital waste and of the kind specified in the preamble of claim 1.

I flere år har det i forbindelse med indsamling og forbrænding af almindeligt og specielt 5 sygehusaffald fra sygehuse været kendt at anvende standardisere éngangs-kasser eller -containere bestående af kasseformede bund- og lågdele af kraftig pap samt af et rørformet kasse-svøb og med et rumfang på ca. 700 liter (ca. 1050 x 800 x 800 mm). Til brug ved indsamling og forbrænding af affald fra lægehuse og klinikker er det ligeledes kendt at anvende mindre standard-kasser.For several years, in connection with the collection and incineration of ordinary and special 5 hospital waste from hospitals, it has been known to use standardized disposable boxes or containers consisting of box-shaped bottom and lid sections of heavy cardboard as well as a tubular box envelope and with a volume of approx. 700 liters (approx. 1050 x 800 x 800 mm). For the collection and incineration of waste from hospitals and clinics, it is also known to use smaller standard boxes.

Det er formålet med opfindelsen at angive et forbedret kassesystem til brug ved indsamling og forbrænding af sygehusaffald samt specielt sygehusaffald, og som muliggør en mere effektiv udnyttelse og udbredelse af det hidtil anvendte kassesystem.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide an improved cash register system for use in the collection and incineration of hospital waste, and in particular hospital waste, which enables a more efficient utilization and dissemination of the previously used cash system.

15 Kassesystemet ifølge opfindelsen er kendetegnet ved, at kassesystemet omfatter mindre indsats-kasser, der er indrettet til at indeholdes i basiskassen eller -containeren på en sådan måde, at denne kan udfyldes af et fortrinsvis lige antal modul- eller indsats-kasser, eksempelvis 6 stk modul-kasser på ca. 45 eller ca. 112 liter eller 12 stk modul-kasser på ca. 22 eller ca. 55 liter. På enkel måde opnås herved mulighed for en mere effektiv 20 udnyttelse af de kendte basis-kasser eller -containere. Disse kan ifølge opfindelsen nemlig med fordel også anvendes til indsamling af mindre portioner af sygehusaffald fra individuelle sygehus-afdelinger, hvor delmængderne af sygehusaffald eller specielt sygehusaffald er begrænset.The box system according to the invention is characterized in that the box system comprises smaller insert boxes arranged to be contained in the base box or container in such a way that it can be filled by a preferably equal number of module or insert boxes, e.g. pcs module boxes of approx. 45 or approx. 112 liter or 12 module boxes of approx. 22 or approx. 55 liters. In this way, a more efficient utilization of the known basic boxes or containers is thereby achieved. Namely, these inventions can advantageously be used to collect smaller portions of hospital waste from individual hospital wards, where the subsets of hospital wastes or especially hospital wastes are limited.

25 Hensigtsmæssigt kan basis-kassen eller -container omfatte to rørformede kassesvøb hvert med et rumfang på ca. 350 liter (ca. 788 x 516 x 792 mm), hvilke kassesvøb er indrettet til at fikseres mellem bund- og lågdele med en størrelse, der svarer til en 700-liters basis-kasse eller -container.Conveniently, the base box or container may comprise two tubular box enclosures each having a volume of approx. 350 liters (approx. 788 x 516 x 792 mm), which box wraps are arranged to be fixed between bottom and lid portions of a size corresponding to a 700-liter base box or container.

30 Kassesystemet ifølge opfindelsen kan med fordel være udformet således, at basis-kassen eller -containeren enten har et rumfang på ca. 700 liter (ca. 1050 x 800 x 800 mm) og DK 170492 Bl 2 er indrettet til at indeholde enten 6 stk modul-kasser på ca. 112 liter eller 12 stk modul-kasser på ca. 55 liter; eller har et rumfang på ca. 350 liter (ca. 788 x 516 x 792 mm) og er indrettet til at indeholde enten 6 stk modul-kasser på ca. 45 liter eller 12 stk , modul-kasser på ca. 22 liter. Alternativt kan en 700-liters basis-container 5 tThe box system according to the invention may advantageously be designed such that the base box or container either has a volume of approx. 700 liters (approx. 1050 x 800 x 800 mm) and DK 170492 Bl 2 are designed to contain either 6 module boxes of approx. 112 liter or 12 module boxes of approx. 55 liters; or has a volume of approx. 350 liters (approx. 788 x 516 x 792 mm) and is designed to contain either 6 module boxes of approx. 45 liters or 12 pieces, module boxes of approx. 22 liters. Alternatively, a 700-liter basic container can hold 5 t

Ved kassesystemet ifølge opfindelsen kan nævnte indsats- eller modul-kasser hensigsmæssigt udgøres af papkasser, der omfatter både bund- og lågfløje, dvs. som individuelt kan lukkes og eventuelt forsegles, inden indsats- eller modulkasseme placesei de større basis-kasser eller -containere.In the box system according to the invention, said insert or module boxes may conveniently consist of cardboard boxes comprising both bottom and lid wings, ie. which can be individually sealed and optionally sealed before the insert or module boxes are placed in the larger base boxes or containers.

Det aktuelle sygehusaffald kan f.eks. opdeles således:The current hospital waste can e.g. is divided as follows:

Almindeligt sygehusaffald omfattende urin- og colostomiposer, éngangsbleer, spytkrus, transfussionsudstyr, forbindinger, væskeholdigt affald, blodigt affald, blod, 15 éngangsafdækning, cytostatica affald, madlevninger fra sygestuer, små medicinrester f.eks. anbrudte øjendråbeflasker, hætteglas, salvetuber, suppositorier o.l. (skal ikke tømmes), der emballeres i plastposer eller -spande.Ordinary hospital waste including urinary and colostomy bags, disposable diapers, saliva mugs, transfusion equipment, dressings, liquid waste, bloody waste, blood, disposable cover, cytostatica waste, food from hospital rooms, small medicine residues e.g. broken eye drop bottles, vials, ointment tubes, suppositories and the like. (not to be emptied) packaged in plastic bags or buckets.

Herunder kanyler, knive, skalpeller, ampuller, reagensglas, kasserede instrumenter o.l., 20 der indsamles i særlige plastbøtter eller -spande. Glasskår pakkes i separat papkasse eller emballeres på anden måde ekstraIncluding needles, knives, scalpel, ampoules, test tubes, discarded instruments and the like, which are collected in special plastic buckets or buckets. Glass shards are packed in separate cardboard boxes or otherwise packaged extra

Specielt sygehusaffald omfatter biologisk affald fra sektions-, operations- og fødestuer, særlig smitterisiko-behæftet affald fra isolationsstuer m.v. samt andet affald katagoriseret 25 af hygiejneudvalget som værende smitte-risiko-affald. Opbevares nedkølet til afhentning.Special hospital waste includes biological waste from sectional, surgical and nursing homes, especially infectious, hazardous waste from isolation rooms, etc. and other wastes categorized 25 by the hygiene committee as infectious risk wastes. Store refrigerated for collection.
