Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decontamination liquid spraying device for spraying objects contaminated with harmful substances with decontamination fluid, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a decontamination liquid spraying device for spraying objects contaminated with harmful substances with decontamination fluid, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a spraying device is known from US 4 881 687.
  • the decontamination solution is sprayed onto the object to be decontaminated, for example by means of a spraying device, by means of a device operating according to the pulsation method, as described e.g. is described in DE 41 04 134 C2.
  • the device described in the document for applying the decontamination solution comprises a combustion chamber in which a gasoline-air mixture is ignited, and the droplets of the decontamination solution are injected into the pulsating hot gas stream.
  • the device described is technically complicated and also requires the entrainment of liquid fuel.
  • the decontamination liquid spray device 1 comprises a pressure vessel 2 in which decontamination liquid 4, in particular GD-5 decontamination solution, is located.
  • the decontamination liquid spray device 1 further comprises an adapter head 6, which is provided with an externally threaded portion 8 which can be screwed into an associated internal thread opening 10 at the top of the pressure vessel 2.
  • the formation of the threads is chosen such that within the pressure vessel 2, an overpressure of e.g. 6 bar or more can be built and maintained.
  • an air pump 12 is provided on the adapter head 6, which is a from the bottom of the adapter head 6 in the interior of the pressure vessel. 2 in which a pump piston 16 via a piston rod 18 up and down to suck in air from the outside and by a in Fig. 1 only schematically shown check valve 20 at the lower end of the pump tube 14 into the interior of the Pressure vessel 2 to press.
  • the other end of the piston rod 18 is provided for this purpose with a pull and push button 22 which preferably rests at fully inserted pump piston 16 at the top of the adapter head 6.
  • the user of the decontamination liquid spray device 1 By moving the pump piston 16 up and down by means of the pull and push button 22, the user of the decontamination liquid spray device 1 according to the invention can thus generate by hand an overpressure of about 6 bar in the pressure vessel 2, the decontamination fluid 4 by a riser pipe attached to the adapter head 6 24 to a arranged on the adapter head 6 regulating valve 26 and from this via a pressure in the adapter head 6 formed pressure line 28 to a liquid outlet 30 promotes.
  • the regulating valve 26 e.g. a needle valve schematically indicated in Fig. 1, the pressure and the amount of the liquid outlet 30 supplied decontamination fluid 4 can be regulated by hand.
  • the liquid outlet 30 is fluidly connected to a flexible hose 32, at the other end of a spray nozzle 34 is arranged, which is acted upon by a schematically illustrated on-off valve 36 with decontamination fluid 4 to this to spray through the spray nozzle 34 therethrough.
  • the flexible tube 32 preferably extends away from the liquid outlet 30 down so that it can be rolled easily accommodated in the corresponding free inner region of a pocket 38 in which the device 1 according to the invention is preferably housed such that the adapter head 6 together with the Regulating valve 26 and the pull and push button 22 protrudes from an associated opening 40 at the top of the pocket 38. This allows the user of the device to regulate the amount of decontamination fluid 4 and possibly increase the pressure in the pressure vessel 2 by operating the air pump 12 via the pull and push button 22.
  • the bag 38 is preferably fastened to the user's trouser belt by means of holding straps (not shown), or is provided with a shoulder strap, so that the user can hang the bag 38 over his shoulder when using the device 1 according to the invention.
  • provision may furthermore be made for a further opening 42 to be provided at the top of the pocket at the level of the first opening 40, through which the user can pull out the flexible hose 32 with the spray nozzle 34 attached to it in order to direct the decontamination liquid 4 in a targeted manner spray.
  • the decontamination liquid spraying device 1 has the advantage that it has a very compact and robust construction, and with a corresponding dimensioning of the pressure vessel 2 - for example, as a bottle-shaped container with 1, 2 or 3 liters capacity - comfortably worn and used as a belt bag, or for filling, can be easily and quickly removed from the belt pouch.
  • the compact design also has the advantage that the device can be used in very confined spaces, where the use of larger devices for reasons of space is not or only with great difficulty possible.
  • the pressure vessel 2 can be filled very easily and loss-free through the threaded opening 10, and accordingly also emptied and cleaned again.
