Description

CONTAINER FOR ARTICLES TO BE USED IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

  The present invention relates to a container or container for receiving articles for use in an emergency. Such containers or containers are known from a

  generally and are used in particular in hotels

  such, office spaces and spaces that in general are frequented by many people who are unfamiliar places. In order to make it possible to find such containers in case of emergency and also at night, these containers are equipped with emergency or emergency lighting, for example a flashing lamp. This solution has, however, the disadvantage of being expensive and not being able to

  be used in case of power failure.

  US Pat. No. 3,576,987 discloses chemilumines

  miners and stimulators such as for example the oxalic acid ester, which are included in tubes or bars

  made of a flexible transparent material and which contains

  a thin glass tube filled with a stimulator such as, for example H 2 O 2. At commissioning, the tubes or bars are deformed to break the small glass tubes, which

  puts the stimulator in contact with the chemilumines-

  and allows the radiation for several hours of a bright light. The storage of the small ends of these bars must be done away from the light, and for that they are most often welded to a sheet of aluminum or a

  sheet in a material opaque to light.

  These bars, which in principle are suitable for emergency or emergency lighting, have not been used for this purpose because, in case of emergency, they can not be seized.

  in the dark in case of power failure.

  The object of the present invention is to propose a

  neur of the kind mentioned above, and which is suitable for such tubes or bars, which can also be found in

  the darkness and that is easy to implement.

  For this purpose, according to the invention, the container is characterized in that: a) the articles to be used in an emergency consist of small flexible or flexible tubes of material

  transparent and which contain a chemilumi-

  nescente and a stimulator contained in a small tube easy to break; (b) the container is a flap box

  whose outer face is lined at least partially

  of a luminescent mass or whose outer surface

  lid is at least partially

  in-a persistent luminescence plastic material.

  The container according to the invention is advantageously characterized by; a) a container-shaped container part is adapted to be fixed on a wall and having a rear wall provided with two lateral faces and a bottom wall; b) a closure part covering the container part and having a front wall and side walls, the closing part being pivotally connected to the container part about the longitudinal and transverse axes by means of a hinge or a pin, such that it can be closed in the closed position and can be pivoted into a provisioning position at least partially releasing the container portion; and c) removable fasteners which are arranged to cooperate in the container portion and the closure portion so as to release by pulling; and d) in that at least a portion of the front wall is

  made of a material with persistent luminescence.

  The entire closing part of the container can

  advantageously be made of a plastic material

  nescente arranged on its outer surface.

  In another advantageous embodiment, the

  neur comprises closure members, in particular in the form of hook-and-loop closures which hold the closed container portion on the pivoted closure portion while permitting it to be easily pulled apart in order to access to the interior

of the container.

  In another advantageous embodiment, it is

  sees in the upper region of one of the side walls of the container part and in correspondence in the closed position in the area of one of the side walls of the closure part, a bore for receiving a sealing wire. In order not to be obliged in case of emergency and in

  the darkness of having to look for the contents of the universal box

  groping, it is advantageous to mount permanently inside the box a small flexible tube which is deformed

  opening with a hook, in particular an elastic hook

  tick provided in the lid of the container, the small tube

  luminescent thus being brought to the luminescent state.

  Lighting of the interior can also advantageously be achieved by providing self-luminescent plates on the inner wall of the box, advantageously in the

  the rear wall and the side wall, these plaquet-

  being excited by daylight through openings

  provided in the front wall, in such a way that

  they become self-luminescent in the dark.

  Another embodiment of the invention is based on the same principle; according to this principle, provision is made between the two side walls, at a distance of. the rear wall a horizontal retaining strip which not only serves to retain the small tubes-in the box, but which is also composed of a self-luminescent material, a cutout being provided in the front wall in the zone of the strip in such a way that this retaining band constitutes substantially a part of the outer wall surface and is illuminated by daylight in order to illuminate in the dark as well.

  the interior space of the container when the latter is open.

  Other goals, benefits and features are apparent -

  reading the description of various modes of

  1, a container according to the invention in the open state;

  FIG. 2 represents a modified form of a

  neur similar to that of Figure 1; and - Figure 3 shows another embodiment

  modified container opening in

so much up.

  The container shown in FIG. 1 consists of a box-shaped container portion 2 provided with a rear wall 4, two side walls 6 and 6 'and a bottom surface 8. This container part is advantageously carried out using a plastic plate 2 to 4 mm thick, by folding or folding the side walls

  or background. In the lower part are foreseen, just

  above the bottom wall, two bores intended to receive studs 18 with which the pin portion 10

  is pivotally attached or flap.

  The closing part consists of a front wall 12

  and two side walls 14 or 14 '. These walls are advantageous

  made from a baseplate made of plastic

  of polyvinyl chloride and also by folding. The dis-

  the distance between the side walls 14 and 14 'is substantially greater than the distance between the side walls 6 and 6' of the container part 2 so that when the closing part is cut, the side walls

  corresponding ones are located one above the other.

  In the upper region of the closing portion 10 is provided between the side walls 14 and 14 'and at a distance therefrom an L-shaped head wall 16 folded towards the pivot axis. This part is advantageously made of a plastic section having a U-shaped section, one of the branch surfaces being

  glued with its outer surface applied to the inner surface

  the front wall 12 of the closing part 10.

  In the flank zone oriented on the other pivot axis

  are directed inwards, are glued

  fastening closure of loops 22 and 22 ', which

  slaughtered product come into contact with two other

  hanging loops 20 and 20 'which are glued on the surface.

  inner face of the rear wall 4 of the container part.

neur 2.

  In the upper zone of the side wall 6 of the container part 2 is provided a bore 26 which when the closing part 10 is cut down, is located opposite

  a bore 26 'provided in the corresponding side wall

  14 of the closure portion 10. With this bore, it can guide a safety rod or a lead wire that

  forbids access to unauthorized persons.

  The two side walls 14 and 14 'of the part of

  closure 10 are inclined or protrude from the handlebar

  18 in the direction of the lower edge of the front wall 12, which in the pivotally open state avoids the complete opening of the closing part which is supported by its beveled tip on the wall . As a result, the following additional result is obtained according to which objects coming out of the container part do not fall on the floor, but in the closing part open up to a certain angle. In the closed state, the contents of the container are protected against damage or fouling, since the edges of the side walls 6 or 6 'of the container part 2 are sealingly applied to the inner surface of the outer wall. 12 of the closure portion 10 and come into contact in a gap zone between the ends of the L-shaped head wall 16 and the side walls 14 or 14 '. It is of course also possible to arrange the container in such a way that the pivot axis does not constitute a transverse axis as in the previous embodiment, but constitutes the longitudinal axis, so that the container can be laterally pivoted. . The luminescent material for the front wall or for the outer faces of the closure part 10 is Lenard luminescent substances inserted in

  the plastic material where they are used as pigments.

  In case of emergency, in order to recognize immediately when opening the container even when this happens in the

  black and in case of power failure the contents of this

  piez or container, there is provided on the side wall 6 'a small tube 38 filled with a chemiluminescent substance and which is engaged in a support 42 and 40, so that the small tube 38 is held rigidly or permanently on the wall but after use it can be replaced easily by a new small tube, which is made possible by

  the support 40 made in the form of a clamp.

  It is provided on the side wall 14 'an elastic hook

  a clip-shaped tick 44 which, by closing the lid 12 by pivoting, surrounds the small tube 38 and which, when the lid is forced open, causes this tube 38 to flex

  such that it is made active.

  The embodiment shown. In FIG. 2, the small tubes which contain the chemiluminescent substance and the stimulator are in the form of a unit 24 in a sealed package. To prevent them from falling on the ground, they are held by a tongue or a retaining band 34 fixed horizontally on the side walls 6 and 6 '. This retaining band 34 is also advantageously made of a persistent luminescence plastic. In order to excite the luminescence in this retaining band it is necessary to bring it into contact with the external light. For this purpose, there is provided in the front wall I2 a slot 36 which when the box is closed leads to

  the light on the retaining band 34. This presents the advantage

  until the lid is opened in the event of a power failure.

  rant, we can recognize the place where the ele-

  packaged 24 to be used for emergency lighting.

  For the same reason, it is possible, as shown in FIG. 2, to provide, in the head wall 16, light entry openings 30 and, in addition, in the upper zone of the rear wall 4 and side walls 6 and 6. ', garnish the

  inner face of an autoluminescent material 32, 32 '.

  In the previous case, the light inputs 30 are in the form of circular openings in the head wall. It is obviously also possible to push a part of the head wall into the central area when this is

  more advantageous in terms of stability.

  In an emergency and in the dark, the entire container is clearly visible. By pivoting the cover off by tearing, the small tubes 24 which are packaged and which serve as emergency light are also easily recognizable, either because the horizontal retaining band 34 illuminates the contents of the container or the container or because the there is provided a self-luminescent material on the back wall and / or the side walls, and this self-luminescent material

  being sufficiently excited by the light through the openings

  30 in the event of an emergency and in the dark to clearly illuminate the container after opening, provided that, as shown in FIG.

  a small tube 38 filled with a chemical substance

  luminescent light attached to a side wall and flexed, which excites this small tube to make it emit

the light.

  The container shown in Figure 3 is similar to the container shown in Figures 1 and 2, it differs only by the closing portion 10 'which can rotate about a transverse axis 18' relative to the housing 2 'upwards , light entry openings 30 being provided

  in the side wall of the card 2 '.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown but it is capable of numerous variants accessible to the man of

  art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
