Abstract
Description
- 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.
- As is known, in the hospital sector the cleaning and sterilization of rooms are fundamentally important in preventing diseases and limiting the spread of pathogenic germs. In this field, washing the floors of rooms is very important.
- In more advanced countries, floors are cleaned in the hospital sector by following very precise techniques, whose primary goal is to avoid as much as possible the danger of bacterial contamination.
- For this reason, floors are washed by using 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 m2 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.
- In order to obviate this drawback and ensure high productivity on the part of the operators assigned to washing floors, 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 refinement of pre-impregnating the fringes allows having an adequate quantity of fringes prepared beforehand and therefore ready for use, avoiding the transport of water in the cleaning implement carrying cart and with a considerable saving of water and of detergent/disinfectant substance.
- Mainly two techniques are currently followed to perform fringe pre-impregnation:
- manual pre-impregnation;
- pre-impregnation in the washing machine.
- 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.
- This widely used technique has the drawback of requiring a lid, which with repeated use loses its hermetic capacity, easily causing leaks of solution. Moreover, the bucket, loaded with several fringes and with the solution, becomes heavy and therefore scarcely practical to handle.
- In recent times a plastic grid has been introduced on the market which is crossed by holes, is meant to be arranged on the fringes to be impregnated and onto which the solution is poured. The purpose of this grid is to cause the solution to "rain" down onto the underlying fringes for obtaining a uniform impregnation. In practice, uniform impregnation does not occur, because the solution passes through the holes at the region onto which it is poured to a considerably greater extent than at the other regions of the grid, achieving an impregnation result which is not altogether satisfactory.
- The technique of pre-impregnation in the washing machine is certainly the most effective system, since it eliminates any manual pre-impregnation operation. In fairly recent times, industrial washing machines have been marketed which have a washing, rinsing and impregnation program and use specific detergent dosage devices which perform every operation during the washing cycle.
- With the use of these machines, the fringes leave the washing machine already adequately impregnated with solution, ready to be conveyed to the places of use and to be used.
- However, such industrial washing machines are expensive and require adequate environments to be installed and managed by adequately instructed personnel.
- 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.
- Within this aim, 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.
- This aim, as well as these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by 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.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the device according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device according to the invention; -
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the device according to the invention, taken along the line III-III shown inFigure 2 , and rested on a bucket; -
Figure 4 is a sectional view of the device according to the invention, taken along the line IV-IV shown inFigure 2 and rested on a bucket. - With reference to the figures, the device according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a
grid 2, which can be rested on acontainer 3, for example a bucket, which is designed to accommodate thefringes 4 to be impregnated. Thegrid 2 defines acompartment 5 which is adapted to receive the solution with which thefringes 4 are to be impregnated. - The
compartment 5 is delimited in a downward region by abottom wall 6, which is crossed by a plurality ofholes 7 for the passage of the solution poured into thecompartment 5. - According to the invention, the
holes 7 have mutually different diameters as a function of the shape of the region of thebottom wall 6 in which they are formed and of their distance from the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto thebottom wall 6, so as to provide uniform distribution of the dispensing of the solution below thebottom wall 6, i.e., on thefringes 4 deposited in thecontainer 3 below thegrid 2. - Preferably, the
holes 7 have a diameter that increases as the slope of the region of thebottom wall 6 in which they are formed increases with respect to a horizontal imaginary plane. - Preferably, the
holes 7 have a diameter that increases as the distance from the region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto thebottom wall 6 increases. - More particularly, the
bottom wall 6 preferably has a substantially rectangular plan shape, which is concave in an upward region, with a raisedcentral region 8 which slopes gradually downward toward the perimetric sides. - The
compartment 5 is delimited in a downward region by thebottom wall 6 and laterally byside walls grid 2, which extend upward from the perimetric sides of thebottom wall 6. - The region at which the solution is designed to be poured onto the
bottom wall 6 is constituted by thecentral region 8 of thebottom wall 6. - Conveniently, the
central region 8 is delimited by a jet breaking frame, which is constituted bywings 13 arranged mutually side by side along a cylindrical surface, rises from thebottom wall 6 and is interrupted byopenings 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 thegrid 2, preventing it from overflowing from thegrid 2 and providing a uniform distribution thereof on thebottom wall 6. - The
holes 7 that pass through thebottom wall 6 at thecentral region 8 and proximate to theperimetric sides bottom wall 6, where the dispensed solution remains longer or has a lower transit speed, have a smaller diameter than theother holes 7 that pass through thebottom 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 twoshorter side walls wings container 3 designed to accommodate thefringes 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 extremely simple use of the device according to the invention is as follows.
- The
fringes 4 to be impregnated are superimposed in thecontainer 3, on the mouth of which thegrid 2 is then rested. - The solution with which the
fringes 4 are to be impregnated is poured onto thebottom wall 6 at thecentral region 8, from which, through theopenings 14, it is distributed onto theentire bottom wall 6. During its diffusion on the entire bottom wall, the solution passes through theholes 7, falling below thegrid 2 and thus impregnating thefringes 4 arranged in theunderlying container 3. - It should be noted that according to the invention the
holes 7 have a diameter that is sized as a function of the shape of the region of thebottom 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. - This causes the solution to "rain" down below the
grid 2, distributing uniformly over the entire region on which thegrid 2 is superimposed, i.e., the region occupied by thefringes 4. - Thanks to this uniform distribution of the dispensed solution, a uniform impregnation of the
fringes 4 is achieved. - In practice it has been found that 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 device thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials used, although the use of synthetic material is preferred, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
