Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box system for collection of used needles, syringes and other disposable articles or other risky or infectious waste, of the kind as specified in the introduction to claim 1.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an improved box system for collection of used needles, syringes and other used disposable articles or other risky or infectious waste, of the kind mentioned initially, and by means of which a simpler box system which is better fit for use can be obtain ⁇ ed through simple means.
  • the box system of the invention is distinctive in that in connection with the receiving opening, the disposable contai- ner comprises means adapted for use when pulling needles off disposable syringes, and that the said sealing means for the receiving opening are adapted for liquidtight sealing of the disposable container.
  • a safer box system is obtained which is better fit for use, and by means of which it becomes possible on the one hand to finally seal the disposable con ⁇ tainer completely hermetic and liquid-tight so that possible remaining liquid in needles and syringes cannot escape from the disposable container while the latter is handled for final destruction by incineration together with its contents, and on the other hand it becomes possible in an easy way to separate needles from syringes without needing to touch the needles.
  • the disposable con ⁇ tainer can hold a significantly larger number of needles and syringes before it becomes necessary to exchange the dispos- able container, while at the same time a better security is attained from attempts to remove needles or other items again from the disposable container, as items deposited therein are positioned farther down in the container due to the separa ⁇ tion, which means that there is not, as up to now, a risk of syringes with needles still mounted almost standing up in the container, thus being relatively easy to remove again via the receiving opening.
  • the box system according to the invention is ar ⁇ ranged such that the said pulling-off means for used needles comprise a cylindric insert which is adapted to be mounted in the receiving opening of the disposable container, and which is formed, at its inner cylindric surface, with a protruding wall-part having a recessed notch adapted to engage a collar of a needle's mounting stub, such that the needle can be pul- led off a disposable syringe by an upward pull at the latter when a connecting stub of the disposable syringe has been in ⁇ serted in the said recessed notch, and when the mounting stub of the needle is placed below the protruding wall-part.
  • the latter according to the in ⁇ vention comprises a sliding lid which is adapted for tempo ⁇ rary closure of the receiving opening, and a screw cap which, together with a threaded neck formed in connection with th receiving opening, constitutes the said sealing means.
  • the latter according to the invention comprises a front wall formed as a lock-up door, and a preferably central opening in an upper wall part through which opening an upper part of the disposable container may protrude, the upper opening being limited at the front by the lock-up front wall.
  • the cabinet in the box system ac ⁇ cording to the invention can be formed such that by means of a loose insert it can be adapted to receive disposable con ⁇ tainers of varying height, which means variable volume, as an upper part of the respective disposable containers which fit into the box system is identical in shape and is designed to protrude through the said central opening of the top side of the cabinet.
  • the box system according to the invention is for ⁇ med such that in an outer wall part, preferably a side wall, the disposable container is formed with a circular recess or depression designed to receive the said screw cap which is used for the final sealing of the disposable container.
  • the screw cap is always at hand when the disposable container must be exchanged and finally sealed.
  • the said sliding lid for the disposable container in the box system comprises oppos- ing side parts with inwardly protruding slide lists adapted to engage horizontal guiding tracks formed at opposing side walls of the top end of the disposable container, such that the sliding lid, which is elastic as a whole, can be retained at the top end and can be shifted between a position wherein the sliding lid is placed besides the receiving opening, and a position wherein the sliding lid covers the receiving open ⁇ ing .
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a box system according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view corresponding to Fig. 1, but with the front wall or door swung open,
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view corresponding to Fig. 2, but with the disposable container removed.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a disposable container for the box system according to the invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view corresponding to Fig. 2, but with an embodiment of a larger disposable container and with ⁇ out an insert as according to the invention.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are perspective views of an embodiment of a ring-shaped insert for the receiving opening of a disposable container for the box system according to the invention.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 are perspective views of an embodiment of a sliding lid for a disposable container for the box system ac ⁇ cording to the invention.
  • the box system as shown consists of a cabinet 2 which is made of sheet steel, and which is designed for encasing a dispos- able container 4 of plastics material in such a way that an upper part 6 of the disposable container 4 protrudes upward through a hole or cutout 8 in an upper wall part 10 of the cabinet 2.
  • a front wall 12 of the latter is formed as a lock-up door which, cf. Fig. 2, can be swung open such that the disposable container 4 is easy to insert and remove, re ⁇ spectively, even though its upper part 6 protrudes upward through the opening 8.
  • FIG. 1 - 3 may illustrate a box sy ⁇ stem for a disposable container which, like the disposable container 4 (having a volume of about 2.5 1) is supported inside the cabinet 2 by a loose insert 14 formed as a trestle of sheet steel, cf. Figs. 2 and 3, that is, a system wherein the disposable container 4 does not fill out the hollow of the cabinet 2.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 Fig. 1 may also illustrate a box system for a larger disposable contai ⁇ ner 16, cf. Fig. 4 (having a volume of 6 - 10 1), and which is supported directly on a bottom wall 18 of the cabinet 2, as the upper parts 6 of the disposable containers 4 and 16 are identical in shape and size and designed for the opening 8 of the cabinet 2.
  • the disposable con ⁇ tainer 4 or 16 can be used for collecting used needles, sy ⁇ ringes or other infectious disposable articles, for example cotton-wool tampons and small surgical dressing articles which are entered through a receiving opening 18 formed as a usual container neck with an outer thread.
  • the dispos ⁇ able container 4 or 16 When the dispos ⁇ able container 4 or 16 is filled or to be exchanged, it can be finally sealed by means of a screw cap 20 which can be held caught, while the disposable container 4 or 16 is placed in the cabinet 2, in a circular recess or depression 22 which is formed for this purpose in an outer sidewall of the dis ⁇ posable container 4 or 16.
  • the screw cap 20 is also held in place in the depres ⁇ sion 22 such that the screw cap 20 does not get away or is mislaid.
  • the receiving opening 18 is provided with a ring-shaped insert 24, c .
  • the needle thus can be easily drawn off the con ⁇ necting stub of the syringe, the needle then falling down into the disposable container 4 or 16 after which the syringe is also thrown into the disposable container 4 or 16 through the receiving opening 18.
  • a sliding lid 30, cf. Figs. 8 and 9 is used as a temporary lid for the receiving opening 18.
  • the sliding lid 30, being elastic as a whole (made from plastics material), is provided with inwardly directed guding lists 32 designed to engage horizontal guiding tracks 34 formed at op ⁇ posing side walls of the top end 6 of the disposable contai ⁇ ner 4 or 16, such that the sliding lid 30 can be shifted be ⁇ tween a position wherein the sliding lid 30 is placed besides the receiving opening 18 (Figs. 2, 4 and 5), and a position wherein the sliding lid 30 covers the receiving opening 18 (Fig. 1).
