Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of risk prevention, and in particular the prevention of health risks.
  • the object of the present invention thus relates to a device allowing the absorption, possibly neutralization, and the signaling of a product potentially at risk on a floor.
  • potentially risky product within the meaning of the present invention means 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, for example, be a health risk if the product is potentially toxic to a person or if the product is corrosive or irritant, in particular during, for example, contact of the product with the skin or the eyes or even during '' inhalation or ingestion of the product. It can also be a physical or bodily risk when, for example, the product in question can cause the person to slip.
  • They may be, by way of nonlimiting examples of chemical or organic or food or biological products such as for example paint (acrylic or glycerophthalic), stain, oil, chemical liquids for example solvent base, strong acids, oxidizers, strong bases, strippers, cleaning liquids or powders, detergents, solvents, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides or weed killers, etc.
  • paint acrylic or glycerophthalic
  • stain oil
  • chemical liquids for example solvent base, strong acids, oxidizers, strong bases, strippers, cleaning liquids or powders, detergents, solvents, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides or weed killers, etc.
  • a road accident involving a truck transporting toxic or dangerous raw materials can cause environmental pollution as well as damage on the road.
  • an error in handling a container containing a toxic or dangerous raw material can cause injury to personnel or damage to the installations.
  • the present invention finds many advantageous applications in particular in the field of mass distribution or in the field of industry or in laboratories.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous for warning customers and staff of a risk both bodily and health, for example when the product on the floor is a paint, an acid or a chemical based on solvents .
  • reactive, corrosive and / or irritant products such as hydrochloric acid (for unclogging sinks), which are present on the shelves of a DIY or gardening store, are accidentally spilled. on the ground and are the cause of accidents, these accidents being all the more troublesome as they most often affect customers.
  • a member of staff In stores, and in particular in stores dedicated to DIY and / or gardening, a member of staff is generally appointed to ensure the correct application in the store or within a radius of all risk prevention rules, these risks being those incurred by both store staff and customers.
  • This staff member is therefore designated as responsible for health and safety. This could be, for example, a department manager or the store manager.
  • BP prevention beacons such as those illustrated in figure 1 ; these tags are mandatory in each store, and must be put in place immediately following the spillage of a potentially risky product.
  • a first solution to absorb the product on the floor is to use a paper towel, a shovel or a broom, or a wet cloth.
  • Another solution to absorb the product is to deposit sawdust on the product in question.
  • sawdust is the most used solution in DIY and / or gardening stores.
  • this sawdust is most often kept in bags of several tens of kilograms; it is therefore difficult to handle such bags to pour sawdust on the product.
  • the Applicant further observes that the size 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.
  • sawdust does not completely absorb paint spills on the floor. This sawdust indeed forms agglomerates which are always liquid inside. If the pickup is not immediate, the risk of slipping for customers remains relatively high.
  • the present invention aims to improve the situation described above.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the various drawbacks mentioned above by proposing an easy to use and effective solution making it possible to absorb and signal the presence of a product potentially at risk on the ground.
  • the object of the present invention relates, according to a first aspect, to a device for absorbing and signaling a product potentially at risk on a floor.
  • the device according to the present invention comprises a slender hollow body whose internal walls define a storage volume.
  • This powder may also be able to neutralize the product potentially at risk.
  • the device is a device for absorbing, neutralizing and signaling a product potentially at risk on a floor.
  • the storage volume leads to an opening for the gravity pouring of the powder onto the product.
  • This powder by covering the product absorbs it and possibly neutralizes it.
  • the device according to the present invention further comprises a base on which the end of the lower portion of the body is mounted directly or indirectly.
  • the base is projecting laterally with respect to the body to form a signaling stud in order to place the device on the ground in a stable manner and so as to be usable as a shovel.
  • the base By placing the base on the ground, it indicates the presence on the ground of the absorbed and possibly neutralized product.
  • this base can consist of any type of means making it possible to stabilize said device on the ground.
  • the device according to the invention is presented as an easy to use prevention tool.
  • the object of the present invention thus has a double function ensuring both the storage of a pulverulent product (absorber and neutralizer of product at risk) and the signaling of said product on the ground.
  • the opening is closed by a removable cap.
  • the opening is closed by a detachable cover.
  • said opening is equipped with a pouring spout to promote the gravity pouring of the powder onto the product.
  • Such a spout is advantageous for correctly dosing the pouring of the powder onto the product.
  • the opening made in the hollow body opens onto the lower face of the base, said lower face being facing the ground when the base rests on said ground.
  • the peripheral edges form a closed volume with the wall when the base rests on the ground by means of the edges.
  • 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 potentially risky product.
  • the device comprises on the periphery of the base a housing in which is housed a protective film capable of unwinding to at least partially cover the product on floor.
  • the protective film is extensible.
  • the base comprises unfoldable panels, for example of cardboard, housed under the base. These panels are then able to unfold to at least partially cover the product on the ground when for example the surface of the product on the ground is greater than the surface of the base.
  • 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 in particular during the gravity pouring of the powder onto the product.
  • gripping means such as for example a gripping handle
  • 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 and signage so as to delimit an area on the ground with a potentially risky product.
  • anchoring means such as for example a hook
  • the body and the base are structurally independent from each other.
  • these two elements constitute two distinct parts separated from each other.
  • said body and said base each comprise securing means able to cooperate together to assemble said body and said base together. This assembly can thus be done for example by fitting the body into said base.
  • the body and the base being two separate parts which fit into one another by the securing means described above.
  • 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 floor of a product potentially at risk.
  • 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 drawbacks encountered so far in terms of safety and prevention, in particular in DIY or gardening stores, to absorb, neutralize and signal the presence of a risky product on the ground.
  • a device for absorbing, neutralizing and signaling a potentially risky product will now be described in the following, with reference to the figures 2 to 6 .
  • one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a practical tool making it possible both to absorb, to neutralize and to signal a product potentially at risk.
  • the example described here mainly concerns an application in a DIY store.
  • a paint P spilled on the floor S of the store aisle constitutes a risk for both customers and store staff.
  • Paint P therefore presents itself as a potentially risky product within the meaning of the present invention.
  • the person responsible for security here for example the department head, is therefore immediately notified.
  • the objective for the department manager is firstly to absorb the paint P on the ground S, then to report to the third party the presence of this paint P on the ground S.
  • the purpose of the absorption phase is to avoid a personal accident if, for example, a client or a member of staff walks on the paint P on the floor and slips.
  • Absorption consists here of bringing the (liquid) paint to a solid or granular state.
  • sawdust is used, which is not effective and is not very practical for the reasons mentioned above.
  • Such a powder 20 is intended to combat any type of accidental spreading of liquid product.
  • the composition of this powder makes it possible to absorb any type of product using a minimum quantity and at a lower cost than that of the absorbent powders currently sold.
  • composition of this powder 20 is not dangerous (non-toxic, non-irritant, non-allergenic, and non-ecotoxic), unlike certain products currently marketed.
  • This powder of the “ POLYCAPTOR® ” type is therefore particularly suitable for the use that we want to make of it in our example of application.
  • Such bottles are generally sold in DIY stores, especially to unclog sinks.
  • hydrochloric acid here constitutes a product P potentially at risk within the meaning of the present invention.
  • the department head must therefore absorb and then neutralize the potential harmful and toxic chemical effects of acid P on soil S.
  • neutralizing we mean here limiting or even eliminating all the potentially dangerous effects or reactions of the product. For example, for an acid, this involves reducing the pH to a value between 5 to 10, or even the pH value to 7.
  • a device 100 is provided in the context of the present invention.
  • the device 100 comprises an elongated hollow body 10 of cylindrical shape.
  • the interior walls 10a of the cylinder define a storage volume V1 allowing the powder 20 to be stored.
  • this cylinder is made of cardboard and that the interior walls 10a of the cylinder are covered with a protective film to isolate the powder from the rest.
  • this volume V1 leads to an opening 12 closed by closing means such as for example a removable cap 13 or a detachable cover 13 '.
  • the department head responsible for securing the area, grasps the device 100 and removes the cap 13 or detaches the cover 13 'to release the opening 12 (see figure 5a ).
  • this opening 12 opens onto the underside 30a of the base 30.
  • the department 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 ).
  • This handle 41 promotes the gravity pouring of the powder 20 onto the product P on the ground S.
  • the base 30 of the device 100 which projects laterally with respect to the body 10 can be used as a shovel to correctly distribute the powder 20 on the paint P on the floor (see figure 5c ).
  • the base 30 and the body 10 together form a signaling pad.
  • the operator need only place the underside 30a of the base 30 on the ground S.
  • the base 30 ensures the stability of the pad on the ground S, and the hollow body 10, the outer wall 10b of which can include suitable signage elements, signals the presence on the ground S of the product P (neutralized and absorbed).
  • the base 30 has a wall 31 which extends substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis A of the hollow body 10, and peripheral flanges 32 which extend substantially perpendicularly to the wall 31.
  • edges 32 serve as support for the ground S for the base 30.
  • the peripheral edges 32 form with the wall 31 a closed volume V2 when the base 30 rests on the ground S.
  • the device 100 comprises a protective film 34 which can be deployed to cover the entire remaining surface and projecting from the base 30.
  • this film is extensible.
  • this film 34 is housed in a housing 33 preferably formed around the periphery of the upper face of the base.
  • Anchoring means 50 are thus provided, such as hooks 51, formed on the outer wall 10b of the body 10 of each device 100.
  • the department head can then physically connect several devices 100 to each other using a cord 60 in order to delimit on the ground S a danger zone ( figure 6 ).
  • the body 10 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material.
  • the body 10 includes a window over the entire length of said body, this window serving as a gauge.
  • the device 100 object of the invention, is presented as an essential tool for ensuring safety and risk prevention in stores.
  • the device can then be used to pick up the product from the ground (not shown here).
