Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for impregnating fringes with a solution, particularly for impregnating cleaning fringes to be used in the hospital sector.
  • fringes usually made of microfiber, which are impregnated with a detergent/disinfectant solution and ensure a very high level of dirt removal.
  • Such fringes are used only once to wash approximately 20 m 2 of surface and are then collected and washed in a washing machine at high temperature (95°C) before being reused.
  • the high-temperature wash ensures the release of the collected dirt and the sterilization of the fringes.
  • This technique which has become a protocolized system, uses a large quantity of fringes impregnated with a detergent/disinfectant solution, used only once for a few square meters of surface, which must however undergo, in the course of their life, many washing cycles in washing machines at high temperature.
  • Fringe impregnation can be performed with an extemporaneous impregnation technique, by placing in a bucket having a rectangular plan shape a plurality of fringes contained in a steel grid.
  • the grid with the fringes is immersed in a solution prepared in the bucket, so that the fringes become impregnated with the solution, and is then lifted and anchored above the bucket so as to allow draining from the fringes.
  • the extemporaneous impregnation technique has the advantage of being very practical and quick, but it has the drawback of requiring transport of the solution with the cleaning implement carrying cart and of leaving the fringes excessively wet at the time of use.
  • the fringes can be preimpregnated, i.e., impregnated before use with a solution of water and detergent/disinfectant substance, so as to calibrate the wetting of the fringe without requiring rinsing or wringing of the same, operations which in addition to compromising anti-bacterial safety would slow down operations, with a consequent drop in productivity.
  • the manual pre-impregnation technique consists in arranging a plurality of dry or moist fringes in a bucket having a rectangular plan shape, into which a predefined quantity of solution is poured directly onto the fringes.
  • the bucket is closed by means of a hermetically closing lid. The bucket is then overturned so that the fringes absorb the solution and are thus ready for use.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems described above, by providing a device for impregnating fringes with a solution, particularly for impregnating cleaning fringes to be used in the hospital sector, which makes it possible to perform a pre-impregnation of fringes manually with results which are fully satisfactory as regards uniformity in fringe impregnation.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device that is simple and easy to use even by non-specialized personnel.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple device that can be manufactured at low cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device that ensures high durability.
  • a device for impregnating fringes with a solution particularly for impregnating cleaning fringes to be used in the hospital sector, comprising a grid which can be rested on a container designed to accommodate the fringes to be impregnated, said grid forming a compartment that is adapted to receive the solution with which the fringes are to be impregnated, said compartment being delimited in a downward region by a bottom wall, which is crossed by a plurality of holes for the passage of the solution poured into said compartment, characterized in that said holes have mutually different diameters as a function of the shape of the region of said bottom wall in which they are formed and of their distance from the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto said bottom wall so as to provide uniform distribution of the dispensing of said solution below said bottom wall.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a grid 2, which can be rested on a container 3, for example a bucket, which is designed to accommodate the fringes 4 to be impregnated.
  • the grid 2 defines a compartment 5 which is adapted to receive the solution with which the fringes 4 are to be impregnated.
  • the compartment 5 is delimited in a downward region by a bottom wall 6, which is crossed by a plurality of holes 7 for the passage of the solution poured into the compartment 5.
  • the holes 7 have mutually different diameters as a function of the shape of the region of the bottom wall 6 in which they are formed and of their distance from the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto the bottom wall 6, so as to provide uniform distribution of the dispensing of the solution below the bottom wall 6, i.e., on the fringes 4 deposited in the container 3 below the grid 2.
  • the holes 7 have a diameter that increases as the slope of the region of the bottom wall 6 in which they are formed increases with respect to a horizontal imaginary plane.
  • the holes 7 have a diameter that increases as the distance from the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto the bottom wall 6 increases.
  • the bottom wall 6 preferably has a substantially rectangular plan shape, which is concave in an upward region, with a raised central region 8 which slopes gradually downward toward the perimetric sides.
  • the compartment 5 is delimited in a downward region by the bottom wall 6 and laterally by side walls 9, 10, 11, 12 of the grid 2, which extend upward from the perimetric sides of the bottom wall 6.
  • the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto the bottom wall 6 is constituted by the central region 8 of the bottom wall 6.
  • the central region 8 is delimited by a jet breaking frame, which is constituted by wings 13 arranged mutually side by side along a cylindrical surface, rises from the bottom wall 6 and is interrupted by openings 14 to allow the passage of the solution, as will become better apparent hereinafter.
  • a jet breaking frame which is constituted by wings 13 arranged mutually side by side along a cylindrical surface, rises from the bottom wall 6 and is interrupted by openings 14 to allow the passage of the solution, as will become better apparent hereinafter.
  • the jet breaking frame constituted by the wings 13, has the effect of limiting and slowing down the spreading of the solution while it is poured onto the grid 2, preventing it from overflowing from the grid 2 and providing a uniform distribution thereof on the bottom wall 6.
  • the grid 2 has, on the outer side of at least two opposite side walls thereof, which in the illustrated embodiment are constituted by the two shorter side walls 10, 12, resting wings 15, 16, which can engage the upper edge or mouth of the container 3 designed to accommodate the fringes 4 to be impregnated.
  • the bottom wall 6 has a substantially constant thickness along its extension and is convex in an upward region and concave in a downward region.
  • the grid 2 is preferably made of molded synthetic material.
  • the fringes 4 to be impregnated are superimposed in the container 3, on the mouth of which the grid 2 is then rested.
  • the solution with which the fringes 4 are to be impregnated is poured onto the bottom wall 6 at the central region 8, from which, through the openings 14, it is distributed onto the entire bottom wall 6. During its diffusion on the entire bottom wall, the solution passes through the holes 7, falling below the grid 2 and thus impregnating the fringes 4 arranged in the underlying container 3.
  • the holes 7 have a diameter that is sized as a function of the shape of the region of the bottom wall 6 in which they are formed and as a function of the distance from the region at which the solution is poured, so that where the solution remains longest there are holes having a smaller diameter and where the solution remains for the shortest time the holes have a larger diameter.
  • the device according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it makes it possible to perform a pre-impregnation of fringes manually with results which are fully satisfactory as regards uniformity in fringe impregnation.
  • a further advantage of the device according to the invention is that it is inexpensive and can be used without problems even by non-specialized personnel.
  • the materials used although the use of synthetic material is preferred, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
