ABSORPTION ET SIGNALISATION  ABSORPTION AND SIGNALING
D'UN PRODUIT POTENTIELLEMENT A RISQUE  POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS PRODUCT
Domaine technique et Art antérieur Technical field and prior art
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la prévention des risques, et notamment la prévention des risques sanitaires.  The present invention relates to the field of risk prevention, and in particular the prevention of health risks.
L'objet de la présente invention concerne ainsi un dispositif permettant l'absorption, éventuellement la neutralisation, et la signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur un sol.  The object of the present invention thus relates to a device for the absorption, possibly the neutralization, and the signaling of a product potentially at risk on a soil.
Par produit potentiellement à risque au sens de la présente invention, on entend ici dans toute la présente description un produit qui se présente le plus généralement sous la forme d'un liquide, une pâte ou une poudre, et qui est susceptible de représenter un risque pour une personne ; il peut s'agir par exemple d'un risque sanitaire si le produit est potentiellement toxique pour une personne ou si le produit est corrosif ou irritant, notamment lors par exemple d'un contact du produit avec la peau ou les yeux ou encore lors d'une inhalation ou d'une ingestion du produit. Il peut également s'agir d'un risque physique ou corporel lorsque par exemple le produit en question peut entraîner une glissade de la personne.  By potentially risky product within the meaning of the present invention is meant here throughout the present description a product which is most generally in the form of a liquid, a paste or a powder, and which is likely to represent a risk for one person ; it may be for example a health risk if the product is potentially toxic to a person or if the product is corrosive or irritating, especially when for example contact of the product with the skin or the eyes or when an inhalation or ingestion of the product. It can also be a physical or bodily risk when for example the product in question can cause a slip of the person.
Il peut s'agir à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de produits chimiques ou organiques ou encore alimentaires ou biologiques tels que par exemple de la peinture (acrylique ou glycérophtalique), de la lasure, de l'huile, des liquides chimiques par exemple à base de solvants, des acides forts, des oxydants, des bases fortes, des décapants, des liquides ou des poudres de nettoyage, des agents détersifs, des solvants, des engrais, des insecticides, des fongicides ou encore des désherbants, etc.  It may be as non-limiting examples of chemical or organic or food or biological products such as for example paint (acrylic or glycerophthalic), stain, oil, chemical liquids for example to solvents, strong acids, oxidants, strong bases, etchants, cleaning liquids or powders, detergents, solvents, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides or weed-killers, etc.
Dans la vie de tous les jours ou encore au travail, les produits potentiellement à risque tels que ceux définis ci-dessus peuvent poser des problèmes de pollution et/ou de sécurité à différents échelles.  In everyday life or at work, potentially risky products such as those defined above can pose pollution and / or safety problems at different scales.
Par exemple, un accident routier d'un camion transportant des matières premières toxiques ou dangereuses peut provoquer une pollution environnementale ainsi que des dégâts sur la route.  For example, a road accident involving a truck carrying toxic or dangerous raw materials can cause environmental pollution as well as damage on the road.
Dans un environnement industriel ou dans un laboratoire, une erreur de manipulation d'un bidon contenant une matière première toxique ou dangereuse peut provoquer des blessures du personnel ou l'endommagement des installations. En permettant l'absorption, éventuellement la neutralisation, et la signalisation de produits potentiellement à risque, la présente invention trouve de nombreuses applications avantageuses notamment dans le domaine de la grande distribution ou encore dans le domaine de l'industrie ou en laboratoires. In an industrial environment or in a laboratory, an error in handling a can containing a toxic or dangerous raw material can cause injury to personnel or damage to the facilities. By allowing the absorption, possibly the neutralization, and the signaling of potentially risky products, the present invention finds many advantageous applications, particularly in the field of large-scale distribution or in the field of industry or laboratories.
On peut citer comme exemple d'applications de l'invention absorption, éventuellement la neutralisation, et la signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur le sol dans un rayon d'un magasin de bricolage ou de jardinage ; dans cette application, l'invention est particulièrement avantageuse pour prévenir la clientèle et le personnel d'un risque à la fois corporel et sanitaire, par exemple lorsque le produit sur le sol est une peinture, un acide ou un produit chimique à base de solvants. En effet, il est malheureusement fréquent que des produits réactifs, corrosifs et/ou irritants comme de l'acide chlorhydrique (pour débouche les éviers), qui sont présents dans les rayons d'un magasin de bricolage ou de jardinage, soient déversés par accident sur le sol et soient à l'origine d'accidents, ces accidents étant d'autant plus gênants qu'ils touchent le plus souvent des clients.  Examples of applications of the invention include absorption, possibly neutralization, and the signaling of a product potentially at risk on the ground in a radius of a DIY store or gardening; in this application, the invention is particularly advantageous for preventing customers and staff from a risk both bodily and sanitary, for example when the product on the floor is a paint, an acid or a chemical-based solvent . Indeed, it is unfortunately common that reactive, corrosive and / or irritating products such as hydrochloric acid (for open sinks), which are present on the shelves of a DIY or gardening store, are accidentally dumped. on the ground and are at the origin of accidents, these accidents being all the more troublesome that they touch most of the customers.
D'autres applications avantageuses peuvent également être envisagées dans le cadre de l'invention, comme par exemple l'absorption, éventuellement la neutralisation, et la signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur le sol dans un environnement industriel, et notamment dans une industrie chimique où les employés manipulent régulièrement des produits chimiques généralement corrosifs et irritants, plus ou moins agressifs, comme par exemple les acides forts ou les bases fortes. Dans un tel environnement, il est fréquent que ces produits tombent sur le sol et que des membres du personnel entrent accidentellement en contact avec ces produits.  Other advantageous applications can also be envisaged in the context of the invention, such as, for example, the absorption, possibly the neutralization, and the signaling of a product potentially at risk on the ground in an industrial environment, and in particular in a chemical industry where employees regularly handle generally corrosive and irritating chemicals, more or less aggressive, such as strong acids or strong bases. In such an environment, it is common for these products to fall to the ground and for staff members to accidentally come into contact with these products.
La maîtrise rapide de ces produits déversés sur le sol est primordiale dans bien des situations.  The rapid control of these products spilled on the ground is essential in many situations.
Intéressons-nous plus particulièrement à la problématique de la prévention des risques dans la grande distribution.  Let's take a closer look at the issue of risk prevention in supermarkets.
Dans les magasins, et notamment dans les magasins dédiés au bricolage et/ou au jardinage, un membre du personnel est généralement désigné pour veiller à la bonne application dans le magasin ou dans un rayon de toutes les règles en matière de prévention des risques, ces risques étant ceux encourus à la fois par le personnel et la clientèle du magasin.  In stores, especially DIY and / or gardening stores, a member of staff is usually appointed to ensure the proper application in the store or within a radius of all rules on risk prevention, these risks being those incurred by both the store's staff and customers.
Ce membre du personnel est donc désigné comme responsable de la santé et de la sécurité. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'un chef de rayon ou du responsable de magasin. Classiquement, cette prévention implique notamment un balisage dans tout le magasin pour : This staff member is therefore designated as responsible for health and safety. This may be for example a department manager or store manager. Classically, this prevention involves in particular a markup throughout the store for:
prévenir des risques de glissade : en utilisant un plot de signalisation,  to prevent risks of slipping: by using a signaling pad,
prévenir des risques liés à des produits potentiellement toxiques : en utilisant des panneaux d'information ou des marquages au sol appropriés.  prevent risks from potentially toxic products: by using appropriate information panels or markings on the ground.
De façon générale, il est important que l'information à destination des clients et du personnel soit claire, précise et compréhensible par tous.  In general, it is important that information for clients and staff is clear, accurate and understandable to all.
Le balisage, sous forme de panneaux d'information, de plot de signalisation, de pictogrammes, doit être mis en place dans toutes les zones à risque identifiées.  Signage, in the form of information boards, traffic signs, pictograms, must be put in place in all identified risk areas.
On comprend aisément que le client ou le membre du personnel qui a subi un accident dans l'enceinte d'un magasin recherche souvent à mettre en cause la responsabilité légale du magasin, notamment si toutes les dispositions relatives à la sécurité n'ont pas été respectées par le magasin : des plaintes pour homicides ou blessures involontaires avec condition aggravante d'un manquement à une obligation de sécurité ou de prudence, ou encore pour mise en danger d' autrui sont présentées très régulièrement devant les tribunaux.  It is easy to understand that the customer or staff member who has suffered an accident on the premises of a shop often seeks to question the store's legal responsibility, especially if all the security provisions have not been complied with. respected by the store: complaints of homicide or unintentional injuries with an aggravating condition of a breach of a duty of security or of prudence, or for endangering others are presented very regularly before the courts.
Ceci est très mauvais aussi bien pour les performances financières du magasin qui doit notamment prendre en charge financièrement les conséquences de l'accident que pour l'image de marque et la renommée du magasin.  This is very bad for the financial performance of the store, which must pay for the consequences of the accident, the brand image and the reputation of the store.
Pour assurer la sécurité de la clientèle et du personnel dans les magasins, on connaît les balises de prévention BP telles que celles illustrées en figure 1 ; ces balises sont obligatoires dans chaque magasin, et doivent être mises en place immédiatement suite au déversement d'un produit potentiellement à risque.  To ensure the safety of customers and staff in the stores, BP prevention beacons such as those illustrated in FIG. these tags are mandatory in each store, and must be put in place immediately following the spill of a product potentially at risk.
Outre ces éléments de signalisation, il existe des solutions mises en place pour absorber un produit sur le sol.  In addition to these signaling elements, there are solutions put in place to absorb a product on the ground.
Une première solution pour absorber le produit sur le sol est d'utiliser de l'essuie-tout, une pelle ou un balai, ou encore un chiffon mouillé.  A first solution to absorb the product on the floor is to use paper towels, a shovel or a broom, or a wet cloth.
On comprend ici qu'une telle solution qui permet uniquement d'absorber le produit est à éviter lorsqu'il s'agit de produits chimiques.  It is understood here that such a solution that only absorbs the product is to be avoided when it comes to chemicals.
Une autre solution pour absorber le produit est de déposer de la sciure de bois sur le produit en question.  Another solution to absorb the product is to deposit sawdust on the product in question.
Le Demandeur soumet que l'utilisation de la sciure de bois est la solution la plus utilisée dans les magasins de bricolage et/ou de jardinage. Cependant, cette sciure de bois est le plus souvent conservée dans des sacs de plusieurs dizaines de kilogrammes ; il est donc difficile de manipuler de tels sacs pour verser la sciure sur le produit. The Applicant submits that the use of sawdust is the most used solution in DIY and / or gardening stores. However, this sawdust is most often kept in bags of several tens of kilograms; it is therefore difficult to handle such bags to pour the sawdust on the product.
Compte tenu de ces manipulations complexes, il est difficile de doser la quantité de sciure versée sur le produit. Il y a donc beaucoup de pertes.  Given these complex manipulations, it is difficult to determine the amount of sawdust poured onto the product. So there are a lot of losses.
Le Demandeur observe de plus que l'encombrement de ces sacs rend difficile le stockage de ces sacs à proximité des rayons ; il est donc difficile d'agir immédiatement une fois que le produit déversé sur le sol est identifié.  The Applicant further observes that the bulk of these bags makes it difficult to store these bags near the shelves; it is therefore difficult to act immediately once the product spilled on the ground is identified.
Par ailleurs, le mélange de composants chimiques avec des agglomérats de bois n'est pas recommandé : ainsi, la sciure de bois n'absorbe pas complètement les déversements de peinture sur le sol. Cette sciure forme en effet des agglomérats qui sont toujours liquides à l'intérieur. Si le ramassage n'est pas immédiat, le risque de glissade pour les clients demeure relativement fort.  In addition, the mixing of chemical components with wood agglomerates is not recommended: thus sawdust does not completely absorb paint spills on the floor. This sawdust forms agglomerates that are always liquid inside. If the pickup is not immediate, the risk of slipping for customers remains relatively strong.
Il s'avère de plus que la pulvérisation de sciure de bois implique une inhalation de substances dangereuses, voire cancérigènes.  It turns out that sawdust spraying involves inhalation of dangerous or even carcinogenic substances.
En conséquence, les autorités sanitaires préconisent d'éviter l'utilisation de la sciure de bois.  As a result, health authorities recommend avoiding the use of sawdust.
Objet et Résumé de la présente invention  Object and Summary of the Present Invention
La présente invention vise à améliorer la situation décrite ci-dessus.  The present invention aims to improve the situation described above.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux différents inconvénients mentionnés ci- dessus en proposant une solution simple d'utilisation et efficace permettant d'absorber et de signaler la présence d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur le sol.  The present invention aims to remedy the various disadvantages mentioned above by providing a simple and effective solution for absorbing and signaling the presence of a product potentially at risk on the ground.
A cet effet, l'objet de la présente invention concerne selon un premier aspect un dispositif d'absorption et de signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur un sol.  For this purpose, the object of the present invention relates, according to a first aspect, to an absorption and signaling device for a product potentially at risk on a floor.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon la présente invention comprend un corps creux longiligne dont les parois intérieures définissent un volume de stockage.  Advantageously, the device according to the present invention comprises an elongate hollow body whose inner walls define a storage volume.
Dans ce volume de stockage, est stockée une poudre apte à absorber le produit potentiellement à risque lorsque la poudre entre en contact avec ledit produit.  In this storage volume is stored a powder capable of absorbing the potentially risky product when the powder comes into contact with said product.
On parle également de poudre absorbante.  It is also called absorbent powder.
Cette poudre peut également être apte à neutraliser le produit potentiellement à risque. This powder may also be able to neutralize the product potentially at risk.
Dans ce cas, on parle de poudre absorbante et neutralisante. In this case, we speak of absorbing and neutralizing powder.
On comprend ici que, dans ce cas, le dispositif est un dispositif d'absorption, de neutralisation et de signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque sur un sol. Avantageusement, le volume de stockage débouche sur une ouverture pour le versement gravitaire de la poudre sur le produit. It is understood here that, in this case, the device is a device for absorbing, neutralizing and signaling a product potentially at risk on a floor. Advantageously, the storage volume opens on an opening for the gravitational pouring of the powder on the product.
Cette poudre en recouvrant le produit l'absorbe et éventuellement le neutralise.  This powder covering the product absorbs it and possibly neutralizes it.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon la présente invention comprend en outre un piétement sur lequel est monté directement ou indirectement l'extrémité de la portion inférieure du corps.  Advantageously, the device according to the present invention further comprises a base on which is mounted directly or indirectly the end of the lower portion of the body.
Selon la présente invention, le piétement est saillant latéralement par rapport au corps pour former un plot de signalisation afin de poser le dispositif sur le sol de manière stable.  According to the present invention, the base is projecting laterally relative to the body to form a signaling pad in order to lay the device on the ground in a stable manner.
En posant le piétement sur le sol, on signale la présence sur le sol du produit absorbé et éventuellement neutralisé.  By placing the base on the ground, it indicates the presence on the ground of the absorbed product and possibly neutralized.
L'homme du métier comprendra ici que ce piétement peut consister en tout type de moyens permettant de stabiliser ledit dispositif au sol.  Those skilled in the art will understand here that this base can consist of any type of means for stabilizing said device on the ground.
Ainsi, tant par sa structure que par sa configuration, le dispositif selon l'invention se présente comme un outil de prévention simple d'utilisation.  Thus, both in its structure and in its configuration, the device according to the invention is presented as an easy-to-use prevention tool.
II suffit à l'individu, chargé de la sécurité, de verser à travers l'ouverture la poudre sur le produit potentiellement à risque, puis ensuite de poser le piétement sur le produit absorbé et neutralisé par la poudre ou à proximité de celui-ci pour signaler au tiers la présence d'un risque potentiel.  It suffices for the individual, responsible for safety, to pour through the opening the powder on the product potentially at risk, and then to place the base on the product absorbed and neutralized by the powder or in the vicinity thereof to signal to the third party the presence of a potential risk.
La présente invention remplace les balises de signalisation et l'utilisation de la sciure de bois en proposant un outil unique permettant à la fois :  The present invention replaces the signaling beacons and the use of sawdust by providing a unique tool that allows:
le stockage d'une poudre apte à absorber et éventuellement neutraliser un produit potentiellement à risque, et  storing a powder capable of absorbing and possibly neutralizing a potentially risky product, and
la signalisation de la présence dudit produit sur le sol.  signaling the presence of said product on the ground.
L'objet de la présente invention présente ainsi une double fonction assurant à la fois le stockage d'un produit pulvérulent (absorbeur et neutralisateur de produit à risque) et la signalisation dudit produit sur le sol.  The object of the present invention thus has a dual function ensuring both the storage of a powdery product (absorber and neutralizer of risk product) and the signaling of said product on the ground.
Dans un mode de réalisation, l'ouverture est fermée par un capuchon amovible.  In one embodiment, the opening is closed by a removable cap.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'ouverture est fermée par un opercule détachable. Dans un mode comme dans l'autre, il suffit à l'individu, chargé de la sécurité, d'enlever le capuchon ou de détacher l'opercule pour libérer la poudre pour le versement gravitaire de la poudre sur le produit.  In another embodiment, the opening is closed by a detachable lid. In one mode as in the other, it is sufficient for the individual, responsible for safety, to remove the cap or detach the lid to release the powder for the gravity of the powder on the product.
De préférence, ladite ouverture est équipée d'un bec verseur pour favoriser le versement gravitaire de la poudre sur le produit. Un tel bec est avantageux pour doser correctement le versement de la poudre sur le produit. Preferably, said opening is equipped with a spout to promote the gravitational pouring of the powder on the product. Such a spout is advantageous for correctly dosing the pouring of the powder on the product.
De préférence, l'ouverture ménagée dans le corps creux débouche sur la face inférieure du piètement, ladite face inférieure étant en regard du sol lorsque le piètement repose sur ledit sol.  Preferably, the opening in the hollow body opens on the underside of the base, said lower face being facing the ground when the base rests on said floor.
Dans une mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, le piètement présente : une paroi s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du corps, et  In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the base has: a wall extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, and
des rebords périphériques s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à la paroi pour servir d'appui sur le sol.  peripheral rims extending substantially perpendicular to the wall to serve as a support on the ground.
Ainsi, dans ce mode, les rebords périphériques forment avec la paroi un volume fermé lorsque le piètement repose sur le sol par l'intermédiaire des rebords.  Thus, in this mode, the peripheral edges form with the wall a closed volume when the base rests on the ground via the flanges.
Il est ainsi possible de recouvrir le produit potentiellement à risque en reposant le piètement sur le produit.  It is thus possible to cover the product potentially at risk by resting the base on the product.
Si la surface du produit potentiellement à risque sur le sol est inférieure à la surface du piètement, le positionnement correct du piètement sur la surface couverte par le produit permet d'empêcher tout contact direct d'une personne avec le produit potentiellement à risque.  If the surface of the product potentially at risk on the ground is less than the surface of the base, the correct positioning of the base on the surface covered by the product makes it possible to prevent any direct contact of a person with the product potentially at risk.
Lorsque la surface du produit sur le sol est supérieure à la surface du piètement, il est prévu que le dispositif comprend sur le pourtour du piètement un logement dans lequel est logé un film de protection apte à se dérouler pour couvrir au moins partiellement le produit sur le sol.  When the surface of the product on the ground is greater than the surface of the base, it is expected that the device comprises on the perimeter of the base a housing in which is housed a protective film able to unfold to cover at least partially the product on floor.
De préférence, le film de protection est extensible.  Preferably, the protective film is extensible.
Alternativement, le piètement comprend des panneaux dépliables, par exemple en carton, logées sous le piètement. Ces panneaux sont alors aptes à se déplier pour couvrir au moins partiellement le produit sur le sol lorsque par exemple la surface du produit sur le sol est supérieure à la surface du piètement.  Alternatively, the base includes foldable panels, for example cardboard, housed under the base. These panels are then able to unfold to cover at least partially the product on the ground when for example the surface of the product on the ground is greater than the surface of the base.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon la présente invention comprend des moyens de préhension, tels que par exemple une poignée de préhension, qui sont ménagés sur le corps et qui favorisent la préhension du dispositif notamment lors du versement gravitaire de la poudre sur le produit.  Advantageously, the device according to the present invention comprises gripping means, such as for example a gripping handle, which are formed on the body and which promote the gripping of the device including the gravitational pouring of the powder on the product.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon la présente invention comprend en outre des moyens d'ancrage, tels que par exemple un crochet, qui sont ménagés sur le corps pour fixer un lien afin de lier ledit dispositif avec au moins un autre dispositif d' absorption et de signalisation de manière à délimiter sur le sol une zone avec un produit potentiellement à risque. Advantageously, the device according to the present invention further comprises anchoring means, such as for example a hook, which are provided on the body to fix a link in order to link said device with at least one other absorption device and signaling so as to delimit on the ground an area with a product potentially at risk.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, le corps et le piétement sont structurellement indépendants l'un de l'autre. En d'autres termes, ces deux éléments constituent deux pièces distinctes séparées l'une de l'autre. Dans ce mode, ledit corps et ledit piétement comportent chacun des moyens de solidarisation aptes à coopérer ensemble pour assembler solidairement entre eux ledit corps et ledit piétement. Cet assemblage peut ainsi se faire par exemple par emboîtage du corps dans ledit piétement.  In an advantageous embodiment, the body and the base are structurally independent of one another. In other words, these two elements constitute two separate pieces separated from each other. In this mode, said body and said base each comprise securing means capable of cooperating together to assemble together said body and said base. This assembly can thus be done for example by fitting the body in said base.
Il est ainsi facile de stocker le dispositif pour minimiser son encombrement : le corps et le piétement étant deux pièces séparées qui s'emboîtent l'une dans l'autre par les moyens de solidarisation décrits ci-dessus.  It is thus easy to store the device to minimize its bulk: the body and the base being two separate parts that fit into one another by the securing means described above.
Corrélativement, l'objet de la présente invention concerne selon un deuxième aspect une utilisation d'un dispositif d'absorption et de signalisation tel que celui décrit ci-dessus pour absorber et signaler la présence sur un sol d'un produit potentiellement à risque.  Correlatively, the object of the present invention relates, according to a second aspect, to the use of an absorption and signaling device such as that described above for absorbing and signaling the presence on a ground of a product potentially at risk.
Ainsi, l'objet de la présente invention, par ses différents aspects fonctionnels et structurels décrits ci-dessus, constitue un outil pratique et facile d'utilisation répondant à tous les inconvénients rencontrés jusqu'à présent en matière de sécurité et de prévention, notamment dans les magasins de bricolage ou de jardinage, pour absorber, neutraliser et signaler la présence d'un produit à risque sur le sol.  Thus, the object of the present invention, by its different functional and structural aspects described above, constitutes a practical and easy-to-use tool that meets all the disadvantages encountered so far in terms of safety and prevention, in particular in DIY or gardening stores, to absorb, neutralize and report the presence of a product at risk on the ground.

Un dispositif d'absorption, de neutralisation et de signalisation d'un produit potentiellement à risque selon un exemple de réalisation de la présente invention va maintenant être décrit dans ce qui va suivre en faisant référence conjointement aux figures 2 à A device for absorbing, neutralizing and signaling a potentially risky product according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will now be described in the following with reference to FIGS.
6. 6.
Pour mémoire, un des objets de la présente invention est de fournir un outil pratique permettant à la fois d'absorber, de neutraliser et de signaler un produit potentiellement à risque.  For the record, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a practical tool for both absorbing, neutralizing and signaling a potentially risky product.
L'exemple décrit ici concerne principalement une application dans un magasin de bricolage.  The example described here mainly concerns an application in a hardware store.
On comprendra ici qu'il s'agit d'un exemple d'application parmi d'autres, et que bien évidemment la présente invention pourra trouver d'autres applications pour d'autres domaines comme la prévention des risques notamment chimiques dans un environnement industriel ou dans un lieu public comme par exemple une gare ou un métro.  It will be understood here that this is an example of application among others, and that obviously the present invention may find other applications for other areas such as the prevention of particular chemical hazards in an industrial environment or in a public place such as a train station or subway.
Dans l'exemple décrit ici, on se place dans une situation dans laquelle un pot de peinture est tombé accidentellement dans une allée d'un magasin de bricolage.  In the example described here, one places oneself in a situation in which a paint bucket has accidentally fallen down an aisle of a DIY store.
Une peinture P déversée sur le sol S de l'allée du magasin constitue un risque aussi bien pour les clients que pour le personnel du magasin.  A paint P spilled on the floor S of the store aisle poses a risk to both customers and store staff.
En effet, il est possible de glisser lorsqu'on marche sur la peinture P déversée sur le sol S. Il s'agit ici essentiellement d'un risque corporel, même si l'ingestion d'une peinture peut également représenter un risque sanitaire.  Indeed, it is possible to slide when walking on the paint P discharged on the ground S. This is essentially a risk to the body, even if the ingestion of a paint can also represent a health risk.
La peinture P se présente donc comme un produit potentiellement à risque au sens de la présente invention.  The paint P is therefore a potentially risky product within the meaning of the present invention.
La personne responsable de la sécurité, ici par exemple le chef de rayon, est donc prévenue immédiatement.  The person responsible for security, here for example the department manager, is immediately notified.
Comme rappelé ci-dessus, l'objectif pour le chef de rayon est dans un premier temps d'absorber la peinture P sur le sol S, puis de signaler au tiers la présence de cette peinture P sur le sol S.  As mentioned above, the objective for the spoke leader is first of all to absorb the paint P on the ground S, then to report to the third the presence of this paint P on the ground S.
La phase d'absorption a pour objet d'éviter un accident corporel si par exemple un client ou un membre du personnel marche sur la peinture P au sol et glisse.  The purpose of the absorption phase is to avoid a bodily injury if, for example, a customer or a staff member walks on the floor paint P and slips.
L'absorption consiste ici à amener à l'état solide ou granuleux la peinture (liquide). Classiquement, on utilise de la sciure de bois, ce qui n'est pas efficace et n'est pas très pratique pour les raisons évoquées précédemment. Absorption here consists of bringing the (liquid) paint to the solid or granular state. Classically, sawdust is used, which is not effective and is not very practical for the reasons mentioned above.
Ici, on prévoit donc de préférence l'absorption de cette peinture P avec une poudre 20 du type « POLYCAPTOR® ».  Here, the absorption of this paint P is preferably provided with a powder 20 of the "POLYCAPTOR®" type.
Une telle poudre 20 est destinée à lutter contre tout type d'épandage accidentel de produit liquide. En contact avec un produit potentiellement à risque tel que la peinture, la composition de cette poudre 20 permet d'absorber tout type de produit en utilisant une quantité minimum et à un coût inférieur à celui des poudres absorbantes actuellement commercialisés.  Such a powder is intended to combat any type of accidental spreading of liquid product. In contact with a potentially risky product such as paint, the composition of this powder makes it possible to absorb any type of product by using a minimum amount and at a lower cost than the currently marketed absorbent powders.
Par ailleurs, la composition de cette poudre 20 n'est pas dangereuse (non toxique, non irritante, non allergisante, et non écotoxique), contrairement à certains produits actuellement commercialisés.  Moreover, the composition of this powder is not dangerous (non-toxic, non-irritating, non-allergenic, and non-ecotoxic), unlike some currently marketed products.
Cette poudre du type « POLYCAPTOR® » est donc particulièrement appropriée à l'usage que nous voulons en faire dans notre exemple d'application.  This "POLYCAPTOR®" type powder is therefore particularly suitable for the use we want to make of it in our example of application.
Bien évidemment, l'homme du métier comprendra ici que l'utilisation d'autres types de poudre absorbante pourra être envisagée dans le cadre de la présente invention.  Of course, one skilled in the art will understand here that the use of other types of absorbent powder may be considered in the context of the present invention.
On peut également prévoir à titre d'exemple une autre situation dans laquelle le contenu d'une bouteille d'acide chlorhydrique est déversé sur le sol.  Another situation may also be provided by way of example in which the contents of a bottle of hydrochloric acid are poured onto the ground.
De telles bouteilles sont généralement vendues dans les magasins de bricolage, notamment pour déboucher les éviers.  Such bottles are usually sold in DIY stores, especially to unclog sinks.
On comprend ici que l'acide chlorhydrique constitue ici un produit P potentiellement à risque au sens de la présente invention.  It is understood here that hydrochloric acid here constitutes a product P potentially at risk within the meaning of the present invention.
En effet, il existe un risque sanitaire qui pourrait se produire si par exemple l'acide P entrait en contact avec la peau d'un client.  Indeed, there is a health risk that could occur if for example the acid P came into contact with the skin of a customer.
On peut également imaginer une inhalation ou une ingestion accidentelle de cet acide One can also imagine an accidental inhalation or ingestion of this acid
P. P.
Dans ce cas précis, il faut donc que le chef de rayon absorbe puis neutralise les potentiels effets chimiques néfastes et toxiques de l'acide P sur le sol S.  In this case, it is therefore necessary that the beam leader absorbs then neutralizes the potential harmful and toxic chemical effects of the acid P on the soil S.
Par neutraliser, on entend ici limiter voire supprimer tous les effets ou les réactions potentiellement dangereuse du produit. Par exemple, pour un acide, il s'agit de ramener le pH à une valeur comprise entre 5 à 10, voire la valeur du pH à 7.  Neutralization is understood here to limit or even eliminate all the potentially dangerous effects or reactions of the product. For example, for an acid, it is a question of bringing the pH to a value between 5 to 10, or even the value of the pH to 7.
Ici, pour absorber et neutraliser l'acide P au sol, on prévoit donc de préférence l'utilisation d'une poudre 20 du type « TRIVOREX® ». Bien évidemment, l'homme du métier comprendra ici que l'utilisation d'autres types de poudre absorbante et neutralisante pourra être envisagée dans le cadre de la présente invention. Here, in order to absorb and neutralize the acid P on the ground, it is therefore preferable to use a powder of the "TRIVOREX®" type. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand here that the use of other types of absorbing and neutralizing powder may be considered in the context of the present invention.
Ainsi, pour répandre cette poudre 20 sur le produit P (peinture ou acide) pour absorber et éventuellement neutraliser ce produit, il est prévu dans le cadre de la présente invention un dispositif 100.  Thus, to spread this powder on the product P (paint or acid) to absorb and possibly neutralize this product, a device 100 is provided in the context of the present invention.
Comme illustré en figures 2 et 4, le dispositif 100 selon la présente invention comporte un corps creux 10 longiligne de forme cylindrique.  As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 4, the device 100 according to the present invention comprises an elongate hollow body 10 of cylindrical shape.
Dans cet exemple, les parois intérieures 10a du cylindre définissent un volume de stockage VI permettant le stockage de la poudre 20.  In this example, the inner walls 10a of the cylinder define a storage volume VI allowing the storage of the powder 20.
On peut prévoir que ce cylindre est en carton et que les parois intérieures 10a du cylindre sont couvertes d'un film protecteur pour isoler la poudre du reste.  It can be provided that this cylinder is made of cardboard and that the inner walls 10a of the cylinder are covered with a protective film to isolate the powder from the rest.
On peut également prévoir que ce film soit ignifuge.  It can also be expected that this film is flame retardant.
Dans le cadre d'une utilisation avec le « POLYCAPTOR® » ou le « TRIVOREX® », un tel film n'est pas nécessaire.  In the case of use with "POLYCAPTOR®" or "TRIVOREX®", such a film is not necessary.
Dans l'exemple décrit ici et illustré en figures 3 et 4, ce volume VI débouche sur une ouverture 12 fermée par des moyens de fermeture tels que par exemple un capuchon amovible 13 ou un opercule détachable 13' .  In the example described here and illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, this volume VI opens onto an opening 12 closed by closure means such as, for example, a removable cap 13 or a detachable cap 13 '.
Sur le plan pratique, le chef de rayon, responsable de sécuriser la zone, saisit le dispositif 100 et enlève le capuchon 13 ou détache l'opercule 13' pour libérer l'ouverture 12 (voir figure 5 a).  In practical terms, the department head, responsible for securing the area, grasps the device 100 and removes the cap 13 or detaches the lid 13 'to release the opening 12 (see Figure 5a).
Dans l'exemple décrit ici, cette ouverture 12 débouche sur la face inférieure 30a du piètement 30.  In the example described here, this opening 12 opens on the lower face 30a of the base 30.
Le versement gravitaire de la poudre 20 sur la produit P permet de façon quasi- immédiate une absorption et éventuellement une neutralisation du produit P.  The gravitational pouring of the powder on the product P almost immediately allows absorption and possibly neutralization of the product P.
Dans l'exemple décrit ici, le chef de rayon tient le dispositif 100 par des moyens de préhension 40 tels qu'une poignée de préhension 41 qui est ménagée sur la paroi extérieure 10b du cylindre (voir figure 5b).  In the example described here, the spoke head holds the device 100 by gripping means 40 such as a gripping handle 41 which is formed on the outer wall 10b of the cylinder (see Figure 5b).
Cette poignée 41 favorise le versement gravitaire de la poudre 20 sur le produit P au sol S.  This handle 41 favors the gravitational pouring of the powder 20 onto the product P on the ground S.
Si nécessaire, le piètement 30 du dispositif 100 qui est saillant latéralement par rapport au corps 10 peut être utilisé comme une pelle pour répartir correctement la poudre 20 sur la peinture P au sol (voir figure 5c). Ensuite, il suffit au chef de rayon de poser le piètement 10 sur la peinture P mélangée à la poudre 20 ou à côté de celle-ci (voir figure 5d). If necessary, the base 30 of the device 100 which projects laterally with respect to the body 10 may be used as a shovel to correctly distribute the powder 20 on the ground paint P (see FIG. 5c). Then, it is sufficient for the spoke head to place the base 10 on the paint P mixed with the powder 20 or next to it (see Figure 5d).
Le piètement 30 et le corps 10 forment ensemble un plot de signalisation.  The base 30 and the body 10 together form a signal pad.
Il suffit à l'opérateur de poser sur le sol S la face inférieure 30a du piètement 30. Le piètement 30 assure la stabilité du plot au sol S, et le corps creux 10 dont la paroi extérieure 10b peut comprendre des éléments de signalétiques adaptés assure la signalisation de la présence sur le sol S du produit P (neutralisé et absorbé).  It suffices for the operator to place on the ground S the lower face 30a of the base 30. The base 30 ensures the stability of the ground stud S, and the hollow body 10, the outer wall 10b of which can comprise suitable identification elements ensures the signaling of the presence on the soil S of the product P (neutralized and absorbed).
Dans l'exemple décrit ici et comme illustré en figure 4, le piètement 30 présente une paroi 31 qui s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal A du corps creux 10, et des rebords périphériques 32 qui s'étendent sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à la paroi 31.  In the example described here and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the base 30 has a wall 31 that extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the hollow body 10, and peripheral flanges 32 that extend substantially perpendicularly. relative to the wall 31.
Ces rebords 32 servent d'appui au sol S pour le piètement 30.  These flanges 32 serve as support for the ground S for the base 30.
Ainsi, comme illustré en figure 4, les rebords périphériques 32 forment avec la paroi 31 un volume fermé V2 lorsque le piètement 30 repose sur le sol S.  Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the peripheral flanges 32 form with the wall 31 a closed volume V2 when the base 30 rests on the ground S.
II est ainsi possible de rendre inaccessible et d'enfermer la produit potentiellement à risque lorsqu'on recouvre le produit avec le piètement 30.  It is thus possible to make inaccessible and to enclose the product potentially at risk when covering the product with the base 30.
Ceci est particulièrement avantageux lorsque la surface occupée par le produit P sur le sol S est inférieure à la surface occupée au sol par le piètement 30 lorsque le piètement 30 est posé sur le sol S.  This is particularly advantageous when the surface occupied by the product P on the ground S is less than the area occupied on the ground by the base 30 when the base 30 is placed on the ground S.
Toutefois, lorsque la surface occupée par le produit P sur le sol S est supérieure à la surface occupée au sol par le piètement 30 lorsque le piètement 30 est posé sur le sol S (comme c'est le cas sur la figure 5d), il est prévu dans le cadre de la présente invention que le dispositif 100 comprend un film de protection 34 qui peut se déployer pour couvrir toute la surface restante et débordant du piètement 30.  However, when the surface occupied by the product P on the ground S is greater than the area occupied on the ground by the base 30 when the base 30 is placed on the ground S (as is the case in FIG. 5d), in the context of the present invention, the device 100 comprises a protective film 34 which can be deployed to cover the entire remaining and overflowing surface of the base 30.
De préférence, ce film est extensible.  Preferably, this film is extensible.
Dans l'exemple décrit ici, ce film 34 est logé dans un logement 33 ménagé de préférence sur le pourtour de la face supérieure du piètement.  In the example described here, this film 34 is housed in a housing 33 formed preferably on the periphery of the upper face of the base.
D'autres alternatives au film extensible 34 peuvent être envisagées, comme par exemple le déploiement de panneaux en carton pliables logés sous le piètement 30 (non représenté ici).  Other alternatives to the expandable film 34 may be envisioned, such as the deployment of foldable cardboard panels housed under the leg 30 (not shown here).
Enfin, si le produit P est déversé sur une zone trop grande, il est possible d'utiliser plusieurs dispositifs 100.  Finally, if the product P is spilled over an area too large, it is possible to use several devices 100.
Il est ainsi prévu des moyens d'ancrage 50, tels que des crochets 51, ménagés sur la paroi extérieure 10b du corps 10 de chaque dispositif 100. Le chef de rayon peut alors relier physiquement entre eux plusieurs dispositifs 100 à l'aide d'un cordon 60 afin de délimiter sur le sol S une zone de danger (figure 6). There is thus provided anchoring means 50, such as hooks 51, formed on the outer wall 10b of the body 10 of each device 100. The spoke leader can then physically connect several devices 100 to each other by means of a cord 60 in order to define on the ground S a danger zone (FIG. 6).
De préférence, le corps 10 est constitué dans un matériau transparent ou semi- transparent.  Preferably, the body 10 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material.
Alternativement, le corps 10 comprend une fenêtre sur toute la longueur dudit corps, cette fenêtre servant de jauge.  Alternatively, the body 10 comprises a window over the entire length of said body, this window serving as a gauge.
Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, il est possible pour le chef de rayon de visualiser s'il reste de la poudre 20.  In either case, it is possible for the department leader to visualize if there remains powder 20.
Ainsi, le dispositif 100, objet de l'invention, se présente comme un outil indispensable pour assurer la sécurité et la prévention des risques dans les magasins.  Thus, the device 100, object of the invention, is an indispensable tool to ensure the safety and prevention of risks in stores.
Il répond à la fois aux normes de sécurité et de prévention et aux exigences des personnes concernées pour assurer cette sécurité et cette prévention : pratique, simple d'utilisation, objet 2 en 1, peu encombrant, etc.  It meets both the safety and prevention standards and the requirements of the persons concerned to ensure this safety and prevention: practical, easy to use, 2-in-1 object, compact, etc.
La présence du produit P sur le sol S est donc signalé jusqu'à la fin de la journée. Le dispositif peut ensuite servir pour ramasser le produit au sol (non représenté ici). The presence of the product P on the soil S is therefore reported until the end of the day. The device can then be used to pick up the product on the ground (not shown here).
Compte tenu des qualités de ce dispositif, on comprend aisément qu'il trouvera d'autres applications avantageuses comme par exemple une utilisation dans un contexte industriel pour assurer la sécurité et la prévention dans une industrie dans laquelle les employés manipulent régulièrement des produits à risque (industrie automobile, industrie chimique, industrie sidérurgique, etc.). Given the qualities of this device, it is easy to understand that it will find other advantageous applications such as use in an industrial context to ensure safety and prevention in an industry in which employees routinely handle products at risk ( automotive industry, chemical industry, iron and steel industry, etc.).
D'autres applications peuvent également être envisagées comme par exemple chez les médecins ou les vétérinaires pour absorber et signaler les liquides au sol suite par exemple à des fuites urinaires.  Other applications may also be envisaged, for example in doctors or veterinarians for absorbing and signaling liquids on the ground following, for example, urinary leakage.
Il devra être observé que cette description détaillée porte sur un exemple de réalisation particulier de la présente invention, mais qu'en aucun cas cette description ne revêt un quelconque caractère limitatif à l'objet de l'invention ; bien au contraire, elle a pour objectif d'ôter toute éventuelle imprécision ou toute mauvaise interprétation des revendications qui suivent.  It should be observed that this detailed description relates to a particular embodiment of the present invention, but in no case this description is of any nature limiting to the subject of the invention; on the contrary, its purpose is to remove any imprecision or misinterpretation of the claims that follow.
