Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to portable, sterile stand-alone showers, in which a reservoir contains a washing liquid enclosed in a sterile pocket connected to an outlet opening of the reservoir which is closed by a removable cap, a gas cartridge. propellant tablet and means for releasing the compressed gas out of the cartridge.
  • the invention relates more particularly to improvements made to the tanks fitted to such showers.
  • the object of the invention is therefore essentially to remedy the drawbacks which have just been explained and to propose an improved arrangement of reservoir for such showers which gives better satisfaction to the various requirements of practice, and which in particular is of an assembly easier and more efficient sure.
  • a tank intended for a portable, sterile autonomous shower is characterized by being arranged in accordance with the invention, in that the single sterile bag has the shape of a very elongated rod, having a section approximately of the same dimension as the dimension of an opening of the tank body and a length several times greater than the height of the tank body and extends in a folded configuration on itself inside the tank and in that a tubular element, flexible or semi-flexible and not crushable, extends inside the pocket over a significant length from the latter and is connected to an outlet opening of the bag which is in communication with the outlet orifice of the reservoir.
  • the pocket is produced in a single form, which eliminates some of the drawbacks presented by multiple pockets, at the same time as the very elongated rod shape given to this pocket allows its easy introduction through the upper opening of the tank body.
  • the pocket in the form of a sausage can have a diameter of the order of 60 mm corresponding approximately to the diameter of said opening.
  • the bag which is not completely filled with liquid for example about 55% filling
  • the bag which is not completely filled with liquid can take on a folded configuration on itself (for example folded in a zig-zag) inside the tank body so as to occupy a maximum of the volume available in the latter.
  • the tubular element placed inside the latter which is connected to the outlet orifice of the pocket (which is in communication with the orifice of exit from reservoir), extends over a significant length of the pocket (for example three-quarters of this length) and thus prevents the formation of total folds in the pocket capable of isolating part of the liquid and preventing its evacuation, or at the very least, even if one or more folds of the pocket occur, it is possible, by an appropriate arrangement of the tubular element which is indicated below, to obtain an evacuation of all the liquid.
  • the tubular element is provided with a multiplicity of holes distributed over its entire length, which facilitates the evacuation of the liquid during expulsion and also allows evacuation of all liquid even in the case where the pocket is folded back on itself and forms cavities insulating the liquid.
  • the tubular element sealingly crosses the wall of the bag and extends to the outlet orifice of the tank to which it is connected, the tubular element then constituting also the liquid outlet member from the pocket and connecting with the outlet of the reservoir.
  • the portable shower shown in the drawing comprises a tank body 1, of the type used in fire extinguishers or of a similar type, having at its upper part an opening closed by a shutter 2.
  • This shutter 2 externally supports a flexible tube 3 forming a lance or terminated by a lance 4, which is equipped with a diffuser 5. Internally the shutter 2 supports, in communication with the flexible tube 3, a connector 6 housing a removable plug (not shown); to the connector 6 is connected a flexible bag 5 containing a washing liquid.
  • the shutter 2 also supports, internally, a cartridge 8 containing a compressed gas and, externally, an actuator member (handle) 9 capable of driving a perforator member (needle) 10 placed opposite the wall of the cartridge 8.
  • the pocket 7 is formed in the form of a very elongated rod having a diameter corresponding approximately to the diameter of the opening of the tank body 1 and having a length corresponding to several times (for example 4 to 8 times) the height of the body tank 1.
  • the pocket has a diameter of about 60 mm in diameter and a length of the order of 3.20 m.
  • This pocket is only partially filled with liquid (for example around 55%) so that it can extend in a sinuous configuration and partly folded back on itself inside the tank body and thus fill up with maximum internal volume thereof.
  • liquid for example around 55%
  • the pocket can fold in on itself in a zig-zag as shown in the figure, or else roll up on itself in a helix.
  • the tube 11 extends over a significant length (for example three-quarters, that is to say about 2.40 m in the example cited) of the bag 7 and is provided with a multiplicity of perforations 12 ( only at inside the pocket).
  • the entire volume of liquid contained in the pocket is capable of being evacuated, even if folds have formed which would prevent normal expulsion of certain isolated parts of the liquid mass.
  • a better transmission of the pressure is also obtained through the liquid mass up to the obturator plug contained in the connector 6 and a guaranteed ejection of said cap.
