Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the washing of boots, in particular in fields of use where hygiene is of great importance, such as the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, etc. industries.
  • washing boots In the context of improving hygienic conditions, the problem of washing boots is twofold: on the one hand, it is necessary to obtain that all the personnel concerned actually submit to this discipline whenever necessary; on the other hand, while being effective, washing should be as less restrictive as possible.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a boot washing device making it possible to satisfy both of these requirements.
  • a washing device is characterized in that it consists of a pedestrian passage corridor with a passageway for each leg, the two paths laterally comprising and at their base washing means, as well as water flow means.
  • Such a device has the advantage of being able to be arranged as a compulsory passage to access and / or leave a workplace.
  • the device shown in the drawings comprises a casing forming a passage 1 delimited laterally by two walls 2 having a lower return 2a for the ground support and an upper rim 2b.
  • a structure 3 of the same length is fixed, which defines with them two passageways 4 separated by a central partition 5.
  • a grid or rack 6 is slightly raised relative to the bottom 7 , which forms a chute slightly inclined longitudinally for the water flow.
  • said chute communicates with an evacuation, or with a device for recycling waste water.
  • the dimensions are provided so as to oblige the users to pass over the central partition 5, one leg engaged in each track 4 .
  • the washing means comprise spray nozzles 8 and brushes 9. For clarity of the drawing, these are only shown in the left-hand lane in FIG. 1, excluding the spray nozzles which, conversely, are only shown in the right lane.
  • the spray nozzles 8 are mounted on the side walls and the bottom of the passageways 4. They are arranged in such a way that the sprayed jets are directed onto all the boots B, including the soles. It will be noted in this regard that the grid 6 can be used to deflect the jets emitted upwards by the bottom nozzles. To this end, in a preferred embodiment, the grid 6 is composed of judiciously inclined flat irons.
  • the brushes 9 are fixed. They include lower brushes 9a placed vertically and regularly spaced from each other, preferably in a staggered fashion, on the side walls of the tracks 4. Upper brushes 9b form two continuous horizontal bands at the height of the upper part of the boots B on the walls of each channel 4. In addition to being used for cleaning, they have the additional function of blocking the jets of water directed upwards. Of course, this set of brushes 9 is described for information only and can be replaced by any other effective arrangement.
  • the supply circuit for the spray nozzles 8 comprises a line connectable to the network, with an opening-closing solenoid valve. Downstream of this, a detergent inlet is provided, equipped with a system for dosing. In practice, the injection of detergent into the circuit is carried out by a venturi system.
  • two operating modes allow either the opening of the solenoid valve of the supply circuit of the continuous nozzles (generally for cleaning the device), or the opening subject to the presence of a user.
  • the opening of the solenoid valve of the nozzle supply circuit 8 is controlled by an entry detector in the washing device (at each end if the device is intended bidirectional).
  • the closing of the solenoid valve it intervenes at the end of a time delay, or it is controlled by an output detector. It is of course possible to use any known detection means, such as photocell, lever and limit switch device, etc.
  • Figs. 3 to 5 represent a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the brushes are subdivided, on the sides of each lane of the pedestrian crossing, into upper brushes arranged horizontally at a height corresponding to the upper part of the boots, and forming two continuous bands facing each other. to block upward splashes of water, and in lower brushes arranged in pairs opposite one another, and forming inclined bands between the base of said paths and said upper brushes.
  • the upper and lower brushes are provided removable.
  • the brush bodies are profiles engaged by sliding in slides integral with the frame.
  • the device forms a pedestrian corridor 10 with a passageway 10a, 10b for each leg.
  • Each channel is bordered by an arrangement of brushes, which are mounted on a central support 11, FIG. 3, between the tracks 10a, 10b, and on two lateral supports 12 bordering the corridor 10 on each side.
  • the brushes have been shown in the only left lane in FIG. 3.
  • the supports 11 and 12 are joined by crosspieces 13 and form with them the frame of the device which also carries a grid 14 forming the floor of each channel, as well as pipes 15 connectable to a water supply and supplying spray nozzles 16 judiciously placed under the grid 14 and on each side of the tracks 10a, 10b.
  • a device for injecting detergent into the lines 15, for example of the venturi type is provided.
  • the frame formed by the elements 11, 12 and 13 is mounted, if necessary by means of adjustable feet 17, in a tank 18 for receiving and evacuating the washing water and dirt.
  • external protective sheets 19 join the lateral edges of the tank 18 at the top of the lateral supports 12, which are surmounted by a handrail 20, while above the central support 11 is placed for the purpose of safety a covering element devoid of projecting edges, such as the cylindrical tube 21 in FIG. 3.
  • each channel 10a, 10b there are upper brushes 22 and lower brushes 23.
  • the upper brushes 22 are placed at a height corresponding to the upper part of the boots B. Between the inlet and the outlet of the device, they form bands opposite one on the other in each channel 10a, 10b, and preferably continuous. As can be seen in Fig. 3, the length of the fibers of the brushes 22 is such that the tracks 10a, 10b are hampered over practically their entire width.
  • the upper brushes 22 have a double function: either of course carry out the cleaning of the upper part of boots B, but also forming a barrier for water projections upwards.
  • the lower brushes 23 are arranged in successive pairs from one end to the other of the corridor 10, each pair comprising a brush on one side of the track 10a or 10b and its counterpart arranged opposite the other side. In each pair, the brushes 23 are inclined. They start from the level of the upper brushes 22 and descend towards the outlet, up to the level of the floor. In addition, like the brushes 23, the brushes 22 preferably have fibers long enough to hinder the tracks 10a, 10b over almost their entire width.
  • the brushes 23 act on the entire body of boots B, except the upper part which is treated by the upper brushes 22. It will be noted that the fibers of the brushes 23, when they are used , are driven forward then, when released, recalled back due to their own elasticity, projecting water and dirt towards the bottom.
  • the brushes 22 and 23 are advantageously interchangeable, and mounted easily removable, for their replacement, and especially for their regular cleaning as well as that of the rest of the device.
  • the bodies 22a and 23a of the brushes 22 and 23 are profiles which are made to slide in slides 24 of the supports 11 and 12.
  • the side brushes 22 and 23 are completed by floor brushes carried by the grid 14, which are subdivided into transverse brushes 25 and longitudinal 26, Fig. 5. Like the others, and for the same reasons, these floor brushes are preferably interchangeable and removably mounted, their bodies being inscribed in support frames formed by the grid 14.
  • the boot washing device relates precisely to the grid 14, in that it is formed from a set of interchangeable elements 14a, 14b, 14c, FIG. 5, which are arranged one after the other on supports or lateral slides 27 at the base of the tracks 10a, 10b.
  • Some, such as element 14a comprise only a set of bars 28 (parallel or crossed) for scraping the soles, which bars can be round or flat irons.
  • the bars 28 form an arrangement of respectively longitudinal and transverse frames intended to receive the longitudinal 26 and transverse brushes 25, the remaining parts being empty spaces 29. It is of course also possible to provide elements bearing the both transverse 25 and longitudinal brushes 26.
  • the interchangeability of the elements 14a, 14b, 14c to form the grid 14 makes it possible to arrange them as best as possible according to the specific use of the device.
  • the tank 18 for collecting and evacuating the washing water and soiling comprises a part 18a, under the corridor 10, the inclined bottom of which opens into a deeper part 18b forming a pit in communication with an installation of '' evacuation or sewage.
  • a basket 30 in the shape of the pit 18b makes it possible to retain the coarsest soiling.
  • the pit 18b is located upstream from the input of the device, where it is surmounted by a grid element 14d. This results in two advantages, which are the ease of access to the basket 30 and the fact that the largest of the soils are detached from the boots at the level of the grid element 14d and fall directly into the basket 30.
  • the pit 18b preferably has a volume allowing it to play a role of buffer collector in the event of clogging of the evacuation system. This feature offers the possibility of providing low side edges in the part 18a, for easy access, for cleaning, below the pipes 15, below the supports 11 and 12, and to the inner wall of the tank 18.
  • Reference 31, Fig. 4 indicates a foot control for a timed opening tap 32 on the water supply to the pipes 15.
  • it is a hydraulic system, which avoids any recourse to electricity in the device.
  • the device of the invention is very advantageous in that its installation does not require any particular civil engineering work, only an arrival and an evacuation of water being necessary. Its installation as a compulsory passage, a condition of optimal efficiency, is therefore very easy. It is also remarkable that the device has no moving parts, allowing safe use.
