Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a method of sanitary treatment of a sleeping mattress, in particular a spring mattress, and a device which makes it possible to implement said method.
- Mattresses especially spring mattresses, are places where the proliferation of bacteria and mites is favored by temperature and humidity, the internal free space is often dusty and conducive to the proliferation of these parasites.
- These mattresses can be involved in allergy problems that cause significant medical problems in people who are sensitive to them. Also, it is advisable to treat the mattresses with acaricides and bactericides in order to limit the development of mites and bacteria and therefore to limit the problems of people who are sensitive to them.
- a first example of a device is described in French patent FR-A-92.07870 in the name of the applicant, it consists of a cassette, placed on the edge of the mattress which contains the product to be broadcast in solid form.
- the air circulating from the outside of the mattress towards the inside, through an orifice, promotes the sublimation of solid pesticides and / or odorants, by ensuring a continuous treatment of the inside of the mattress.
- Another device of the prior art described in French patent FR-A-94.1 4408 in the name of the applicant comprises means for injecting under pressure a treatment gas contained in an aerosol can. This system is not fully satisfactory on two points.
- each product corresponds to an aerosol can whose price is relatively high.
- the gas propelled by the bomb can spread with difficulty throughout the free internal space of the mattress, which can affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
- the present invention aims to overcome these problems by proposing a method which allows effective sanitary treatment in the entirety of the free internal space of the mattress. This process also removes dust and renews the air in the free internal space of the mattress.
- the invention also provides a simple and effective device for implementing said method.
- the method according to the invention for sanitary treatment of the free internal volume of a sleeping mattress, in particular a spring mattress, said mattress comprising upper and lower faces, a peripheral lateral band is characterized in that it consists in creating an air flow from the outside to the free internal space of the mattress, pesticidal and / or odorous active agents being previously, or simultaneously, diffused near the mattress.
- the air flow from the outside to the free internal space of the mattress is generated by a vacuum in the free internal space, said vacuum being created by a suction device connected to the mattress using at least one connecting device, said suction device which also removes dust and replenishes the air in the internal free space.
- the pesticidal and / or odorous active agents are diffused by spraying said active agents in the form of fine particles using in particular an aerosol can or a sprayer.
- the pesticidal and / or odorous active agents are diffused by sublimation of solid products containing said active agents, the solid products being placed near the mattress, preferably in a sublimation diffusion device.
- the invention also relates to a connection device, in particular to a suction device comprising a nozzle, used for the implementation of said method, characterized in that it is produced by a sleeve, arranged perpendicularly on the side strip. peripheral of the mattress, one end of which opens into the internal free space and the other outside of the mattress, and which comprises means of connection to said lateral strip, connection means, in particular to the apparatus for suction, as well as shutter means.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a spring mattress equipped with the device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a detailed view in section of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is an elevational view of a variant of the device of the invention.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a mattress 1 with springs comprising an upper face 2, a lower face 4 and a peripheral lateral strip 6, which define an envelope of the mattress 1, delimiting a free internal space 8.
- Springs 1 0 are arranged in this free space 8 between the upper 2 and lower 4 faces.
- ventilation means (not shown), which facilitate air flows from the inside to the outside of the mattress and vice versa, are provided.
- This side strip 6 can also be equipped with at least one device 1 2 for sublimation diffusion as described in French patent FR-A-92.07870.
- the peripheral side strip 6 is equipped with at least one device 1 4 for connection, in particular to a suction device such as a vacuum cleaner (not shown).
- a suction device such as a vacuum cleaner (not shown).
- a suction device is connected using the connection device 1 4 to the mattress 1.
- This device creates a vacuum in the free internal space 8, which creates an air flow from the outside to the free internal space 8 of the mattress, through the whole or part of the envelope of the mattress 1 .
- This flow is materialized by the arrows 1 6 in FIG. 1.
- active agents 1 8 Before or simultaneously, a product containing active agents 1 8 is diffused outside the mattress in a close environment.
- active agents 18 can be active pesticides and / or odors.
- Pesticides are understood to mean all pest control products such as fungicides, insecticides and bactericides.
- These active agents 1 8 can be diffused in different ways. Diffusion can be done by sublimation of solid products 20 containing the active agents 1 8, these products 20 being placed near the mattress, preferably in a device 1 2 for diffusion by sublimation as described in French patent FR-A- 92.07870.
- the pesticide-type active agents act and destroy the parasites.
- This process can also make it possible, using a vacuum cleaner to create a vacuum, to suck up the dust and to renew the air located in the free internal space 8.
- This air renewal notably allows better ventilation of the mattress and avoids any musty smell as well as the development of parasites.
- the air performs a circuit.
- the air passes from the outside towards the inside of the mattress thanks to the air flow referenced 1 6.
- the connection device 1 4 thanks to the suction flow referenced 24.
- This air is then directed to the vacuum cleaner (not shown) where it is filtered before being discharged into the room.
- the method of the invention has been described using a vacuum in order to create the air flow from the outside to the inside of the mattress.
- this air flow can also be created by propelling air into the mattress via the connection device 1 4, the active agents 1 8 being sprayed into the incoming air flow.
- another connection device 14 preferably located opposite the first, in order to facilitate the evacuation of the air located inside the mattress.
- This method can be used for the sanitary treatment of mattresses, in particular with springs, or having one or more cavities, the number and arrangement of the connection devices 1 4 being determined in order to optimize the efficiency of the process.
- sleeve 26 placed perpendicularly on the side strip 6, and fixed by means 28 for connection to said side strip 6.
- the means 28 for connecting to the lateral strip 6 are produced by a collar 38, located at the end 22 of the sleeve, which is pressed against the external face of the lateral strip 6, and a counter plate 40 which is fitted onto the outside diameter of the sleeve 26 and which presses the fabric of the lateral strip 6 against the flange 38.
- the means 34 for connection to a suction device are produced by means of a slightly conical bore 42 of the interior of the sleeve.
- the inner bore of the sleeve can be produced by a succession of slightly conical bores, adapted to the different diameters of the ferrules, the bores being arranged according to the increasing diameters from the interior towards outside of the mattress.
- seals can be placed between the bore 42 and the outer surface of the end piece 44.
- the means 36 for closing the sleeve are produced by a plug 46 which is screwed, for example at the end 32 of the sleeve.
- this device can be associated with the device described in patent n ° 94.1 4408 in the name of the applicant.
- the device 1 4 comprises means 48 for sublimation diffusion, injection means 50 under pressure, means 34 for connection to a suction device, and a mobile ventilation flap 52.
- the means 48 for diffusion by sublimation comprise a housing 54 capable of receiving the solid product 20 containing the active agents, and a static grid 56.
- the injection means 50 under pressure comprise an injection housing 58 capable of receiving the tip of an aerosol can 60.
- This device 1 4 has been described in the case of a connection to a suction device, but of course it can be used to connect a device which propels air into the mattress.
