Definitions
- the invention relates to a shopping cart or transport container in the broadest sense.
- the majority of the shopping carts or transport containers in use are made of galvanized, chrome-plated or painted metal.
- the so-called basket i.e. the area in which the transported goods, for example the purchased goods, are stored, consists of a network of round metal struts.
- the basket In order to achieve sufficient stability of the basket, the basket consists of plastic struts that are solid compared to the metal struts.
- the shopping trolleys or transport containers are contaminated by use and require cleaning at certain intervals.
- this cleaning method requires a lot of effort, on the other hand, this method only achieves the desired result when cleaning shopping trolleys or metal transport containers.
- the prerequisites for cleaning are even more difficult for shopping trolleys or transport containers made of plastic, because there are joints at the intersections between the individual plastic in which dirt is deposited. Since the struts in shopping trolleys made of plastic are more solid than the metal struts, long joints are created. When cleaning shopping trolleys or plastic transport containers, these long joints at the nodes between the struts have to be cleaned again, which further increases the effort.
- Soiling that still adheres to the dry surface can then be easily removed with normal flowing water and almost without residue.
- Such a surface is described in WO 96/04123 and can be used in a new and inventive way to reduce the cleaning effort for shopping carts.
- pathogens such as fungi or bacteria that stick to a shopping cart can be transferred from there to foods that are in such a shopping cart.
- the fungal spores In order for fungi to develop, the fungal spores must first germinate. For this germination, the fungal spores need moisture.
- the hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surface acts twice against pathogens due to the additional nanostructure in a shopping cart according to the invention. The pathogens or fungal spores are washed off with every cleaning or through rainwater and since all water runs off from the surface of the shopping cart without residue, pathogens do not find the moist environment necessary for germination or survival.
- Bacteria are killed by using a surface with ion-releasing properties.
- a surface with ion-releasing properties By using the combined hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-releasing surface according to the invention, a shopping cart with the additional property of providing pathogens with no environment for survival is obtained.
- Figure 1 shows a conventional steel shopping cart
- Figure 2 shows a shopping cart made of plastic.
- the surface of both shopping trolleys 1, 2 is designed to be hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-releasing.
- the hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-releasing property of the surface can be achieved in the steel shopping cart by coating it with an appropriate material.
- This coating can be applied to the shopping cart during the primary manufacturing process as well as at a later point in time, for example, during an overhaul.
- the basket 3 which consists of a plurality of metal struts 4, is equipped with a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-releasing surface.
- the remaining areas of the shopping cart that cannot come into contact with food remain without a specially treated surface.
- the hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-releasing surface can already be produced by appropriate manufacturing processes.
- the basket 5 of the shopping cart 2 consists of comparatively massive struts 6. At the nodes of several struts 6 - numbered 7 in the example shown - there are angled areas at the transitions to the struts, in which dirt is stubbornly attached to normal surfaces.
- the hydrophobic or superhydrophobic and / or ion-donating surface according to the invention is particularly advantageous in these areas.
- the invention can be applied to any type of transport container in which the easy cleaning of dirt brings an advantage. Examples of such transport containers are, in particular, boxes, baskets or folding boxes used for grocery purchases or storage.
