Description

The invention relates to a preservation and collecting device to catch the vomiting beam of a vomiting person, with a spatula or similar collecting container flexible and / or foldable material, which is a receptacle is closed except for a collecting opening, as well as with a Container stiffening or reinforcement that the Specifies the opening edge of the collecting container in the collecting position and the at least two movably connected Stiffening or reinforcing parts, which of one folded or folded standby into the one that releases the collecting cross-section of the collecting opening Fall position are expandable or extendable.

Suffer when traveling by plane, bus, car or ship the travelers often suffer from the so-called motion sickness, the is noticeable through nausea and severe nausea. This motion sickness is caused by an irritation of the balance process caused by rocking or rotating movements.

To catch the vomit in case of a sudden nausea and To be able to dispose of are preservation and collection devices known, which are designed as foldable paper bags and in Passenger flight, ship and bus travel near the seat of the Be kept ready for travelers.

Such foldable paper bags are usually only a few resilient and can during the collection of the crushing jet Easily burst, especially in high humidity. By Perforations opened by the traveler before use handling of these paper bags is not always very easily. Handling is made even more difficult by the fact that the paper bag that serves as a preservation and collection device keep it open with your hands in the area of the catch opening; by manually unfolding the catch opening, however, this has no longer the intended circular shape, but at most one elliptical cross-sectional shape, which securely catches the Breaking beam no longer guaranteed. So there is a risk that the person suffering from motion sickness is himself, their surroundings or even other travelers with the vomit dirty.

Because an urge to vomit also in those transported in an ambulance Patients can occur surprisingly, you already have one Asservation and collecting device created by means of a Wall bracket can be provided in the area of the hospital bed can. There is this known evidence and Collecting device from a retaining ring on which a plastic bag exchangeably attached with the help of a ring closure can be.
