Abstract

A flexible strip is used to collect pollutants from the atmosphere for analysis. The strip optionally contains visually observable indicators and may be in the form of a cassette or cartridge to provide a record of pollution incidents.

Description

THE ENVIRONMENTAL FLEXIBLE STRIP FITTING Technical Field The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting is an invention that is necessary in the deployment ofthe Environmental Collection Strip. The Environmental Collection Strip is a Strip of Material that is Engineered to provide local environmental evidence. To collect evidence the Strip of Material absorbs or retains deposits of either naturally occurring or polluting materials or agents. The Deployment of the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting is of key importance in the efficient utilisation of the Environmental Collection strip. The number of methods of deployment creates a variety of designs. The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting represents a simple singular deployment. Another example stems directly from The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting transforming into the combine door knocker assembly. Ultimately, the Environmental Strip Fitting develops into a cassette cartridge. The air stream supply to The Environmental Collection Strip within the cartridge is by means of an integral air collection and application system. The analysis of the Environmental Collection Strip is by an integral analysis item 14 and recording system item 15. The system known as the green box consists the Environmental Flexible Strip cassette cartridge and the integral air collection and application system and the integral analysis and recording system. The addition of a transmission and receiver system to the green box insures information transfer to a central Euro of records.
Background This invention is a venture into the impassive monitoring of the local environment. The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting in simple form can be either disposable or reusable. The design of the reusable model must enable the replacement of the environmental strip. After removal of the environmental strip from the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting storage is an option or analysis. Analysis is by means of a kit or a professional organisation that specialises in highly detailed and accurate chemical and particulate analysis. The Environmental Flexible strip cassette cartridge once analysed is disposable.
Essential Technical Features The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting collects environmental information when deployed in any external situation. Deployed within all buildings such as factories and shopping malls the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting can provide benchmark environment information. The provision of benchmark environment information is of particular importance following the occurrence of a significant pollution event. A significant pollution event could be the resultant toxins and sir born smoke particles caused as a by-product of combustion. Through the vantage of multiple deployment the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting will provide useful evidence concerning the extent of an event. Such evidence can be of particular importance to those responsible and to the public involved.
The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting used outdoors in a place of particular prominence encourages a theme. This theme encapsulates the example known as the Flexible Door Knocker Assembly. The degree of aesthetic pleasure involved in the design of the Flexible Door Knocker Assembly may create a more expensive product than the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting in basic form. The object ofthe innovation remains the same to deploy the Environmental Collection Strip. The Flexible Strip with reference no. 4 is either disposable or reusable. The Flexible Strip contains either mineral fibres or low reactive metal or a combination to create the best effect both practical and aesthetic. The Flexible Strip 4 contains the Environmental Collection Strip 5. The feature of the Environmental Collection Strip 5 is that it captures environmental information. The design of the strip 5 are various the design depends on specification of usage. The strip 5 consists of textile and mineral products and can-dependent upon deployment-incorporate chemical indicators as an instant visual monitor. The Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting theme transforms into the Environmental Collection Strip Cartridge item 8. The cartridge will consist of metallic and mineral components and will encase the Environmental Collection Strip Spool once the cartridge contains the spool the unit transforms to item 13. The spool design is either contiguous or sectioned. In the contiguous case the spool can run continuously in the sectioned case the spool will move intermittently.
Examples The main example of the invention is the Environmental Flexible Strip Fitting. This example consists of the following numbered items. A fixing plate 1 affxed to a surface. A recessed bracket 2 affixed to the item 1. An attachment fitting 3 attached the flexible strip 4, illustrated on drawing with cross braiding effect. The Flexible Strip 4 permanently fits or detaches from the attachment fitting 3. The Flexible Strip 4 contains the Environmental Collection Strip 5 and the construction of item 4 allows surrounding air to freely contact item 5. The Environmental Collection Strip 5 consists of absorbent material. The item 4 contains and protects the item 5 from damage. The design of item 5 depends on the whereabouts of its deployments. The design of item 5 depends on environmental factors. The design of item 5 should reflect the Environmental factors created in nature and by human kind in all their activities. These activities can include extreme events an example of an extreme event is war. The design of all component will reflect the nature of usage and the deployment requirement. The Flexible Strip 4 permanently fits or detaches from the item 6. Item 6 exists simply as a gravitational weight or as a surface attachment device. The optional item 7 if used forms the attachment surface for item 6. Item 7 is itself attached to the surface to which item 1 attaches. The device item 7 has the capability to record item 7 concerning the deployment of item 5. The device item 7 includes an information storage facility. The type of information the amount of information and in what form the information will take will define the design of item 7. An option is to construct item 1 and item 7 as an integral unit item 15. The option to incorporate an analysis kit item 14 within item 7 allows the Environmental Collection Strip 5 analysis by item 7. An option is to construct item 3, item 4, item 5 and item 6 as an integral unit known by the title the Environmental Collection Strip Cartridge item 8. This completes the description of the main example.
The next example stems from the main example and illustrates a theme. The theme is one of high visibility and is a theme that encapsulates concern for environmental monitoring The second example known as the combined door knocker assembly consists ofthe component's item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4, item 5 and item 6. The item 6 arranged as a striker to strike item 7 now simple striker plate. The flexible strip item 4 arranged so that the environmental collection strip item 5 is removable. An option involves the combining item 3, item 4, item 5 and item 6 as a single attachment unit. This unit regarded as a simple cartridge is the simplistic form of item 8 the environmental collection strip cartridge.
In the final example the concept of the simple cartridge item 8 extends into the environmental collection strip cartridge item 13 that contains the spool proper. The example's development takes a form called The Green Box. The Green Box consists of the following items. The environmental Flexible Strip Fitting now enclosed and contained within the environmental collection strip cartridge item 13. Item 13 contains the environmental collection strip item 5 now transformed as the environmental collection strip spool. The green box also includes the integral data storage unit item 15 and the integral analysis kit item 14. The Green Box also includes the add on item 9 the Collector Fan System this includes item 10 the Filter System also includes item 11 The Nozzle Direction System and item 12 The Diffusion System. The addition of a transmission and receiver system item 16 to The Green Box ensures information transfer to a central bureau of records item 17.
