Definitions
- the invention relates to an individual decontamination device, in particular for military use.
- the decontamination glove of the French Army which is part of the individual equipment of the combatant and whose active element consists of an absorbent powder of the diatomaceous earth type, smetic clay or other fuller's earth, has three major drawbacks : The first is that its use
- the present invention which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks, relates to a decontamination device based on a different design, this device making it possible:
- the invention essentially relates to an individual decontamination device which comprises, inside the same packaging and / or case, on the one hand an absorbent glove of the "mitt" type and on the other hand a wiping towel capable of being impregnated with an active decontaminant manufactured in situ at the time of use.
- the apparatus according to the present invention also comprises, in the same packaging and / or case, a device necessary for the in situ preparation of the active decontaminant provided for impregnating the wiping towel.
- the individual decontamination device is initially isolated from the ambient atmosphere by a flexible protective packaging, made of synthetic film impermeable to toxic substances.
- the flexible packaging provided with provisions facilitating its opening, preferably contains a case of semi-rigid material, of generally parallelepipedal shape, constituted by two hollow half-cases connected by a spring hinge; the case opens like a book, lengthwise, and the spring hinge keeps it open at time of use.
- a removable strip, arranged on the side opposite to the spring hinge, is usefully provided to keep the two half-cases joined to one another, so that the case remains closed before use of the device.
- the two half-cases each comprise, on their periphery, a sealing sidewalk intended to receive a "peelable" sealing film ensuring total sealing, vis-à-vis the outside, of interior volumes of the two half-cases.
- the interior volume of one of the half-cases can contain the absorbent glove and the device necessary for the in situ preparation of the active decontaminant, while the interior volume of the other half-case contains the wiping towel.
- the device integrated into the device and necessary for the in situ preparation of the active decontaminant, provided for impregnating the wiping towel, is advantageously produced as a device for storing two constituents separately and bringing them into contact at the time of use, in particular for the manufacture of a decontaminating solution by mixing the two stored constituents, one being solid and the other being liquid.
- This device can in particular be that described in French patent application No. 90 08870 / 2,664,570 (see also international patent application PCT / FR 91/00577).
- the solution obtained after mixing the two constituents stored in such a device is spread on the napkin, which is already impregnated with a liquor containing in solution other constituents of the decontaminant.
- This design makes it possible to generate, at the time of use, a product which, although unstable over time, will have its maximum decontaminating effectiveness.
- the glove eliminates most of the toxic by absorption, this glove being made of a material which does not desorb the toxic after absorption, and does not spread any dust into the surrounding atmosphere, even by tapping the garment strongly.
- the towel eliminates the rest of the toxic by destroying the molecules.
- the individual decontamination device according to the invention can be implemented quickly, in about three minutes, the actual decontamination operation being able to be carried out very carefully in about fifteen minutes, and it is intended to be destroyed after use. Of compact design, this device can be easily accommodated, for example, in one of the side pockets of a bag containing the mask of respiratory protection of a combatant.
- Figure 1 shows in perspective the device in its toxic impermeable packaging
- Figure 2 shows the device, still seen in perspective but out of its packaging
- Figure 3 illustrates the device with its open case, seen in plan from above;
- Figures 4 and 5 are sectional views of the device, respectively in the open state and in the closed state;
- Figure 6 shows the absorbent glove, seen from the front and in section;
- Figures 7 and 8 show, in two positions, the device for separately storing two components and bringing them into contact at the time of use.
- the structure of the individual decontamination apparatus comprises, according to a particular embodiment:
- the constituent film is a saturated polyester with a laminated face of special transparent polyethylene.
- This packaging produced according to the so-called "flow-pack” technique has the particularity of having one of its two ends welded over a length such (four to five centimeters) that it constitutes a tongue (2) that the combatant uses in as a grip handle for conveniently extracting the device from the side pocket of a bag which can also contain a respiratory protection mask.
- the tongue (2) carries a tear primer (3) intended to allow the packaging (1) to be easily opened and the case (4) to be extracted therefrom.
- a case (4) which is in the form of a volume of parallelepiped shape.
- it is made of semi-rigid material: PVC 80 hundredths of a mm thick, laminated with polyethylene on the inside. It consists of two half-cases of unequal depth which are articulated around a spring hinge (5) at an angle of 180 °.
- a closing strip (6) disposed on the side opposite the hinge (5), straddling sealing sidewalks (7), keeps the two half-cases facing each other, placed side by side when the 'case (4) is closed in storage, before use.
- the closure strip (6) is removed, the case (4) opens alone, thanks to the spring hinge (5); the two half-cases then forming an angle of approximately 180 °.
- Figure 3 shows the top and plan view of the open case (4).
- a transparent film (8) called “peelable” which initially closes the two half-cases in a completely sealed manner. This seal is obtained by a heat seal of about five mm in width of the film (8) on the sealing sidewalk (7).
- a first half-case contains on the one hand a glove (9) and on the other hand a device for separately storing two constituents and bringing them into contact at the time of use (10).
- the glove (9), of the "mitt” type, is shown in plan and in section in FIG. 6.
- This glove (9) is essentially constituted by a fabric based on carbon foam (11), used for the manufacture of clothing. "NBC" protection.
- the outer layers are however adapted so as to satisfy the inherent technological constraints, in particular, the mechanical stresses to which it is subjected during the decontamination operation (resistance to tearing as well as to friction Hand protection (gloved or not) is provided internally by a so-called "barrier” material (12) consisting of a synthetic film impermeable to toxic substances, such as an unsaturated polyamide / polyester complex.
- a so-called "barrier” material (12) consisting of a synthetic film impermeable to toxic substances, such as an unsaturated polyamide / polyester complex.
- an absorbent polypropylene layer (13) in non-woven type MELTBLOWN, is interposed between the carbon foam fabric (11) and the barrier material (12).
- the different thicknesses of materials are linked together by stitching with the machine on the sides (Cl, C2 and C3).
- the open side (01) through which the hand is introduced into the glove (9) carries a hem on the two thicknesses.
- the device for separately storing two components and bringing them into contact at the time of use (10) is one of the essential components of the device. It allows the manufacture of a decontaminating solution which degrades quickly over time, in other words which very quickly loses its specific activity, hence the absolute need to use it as soon as it has been prepared . This is a well known prenomene that is encountered in the implementation of hypochlorites for example.
- the device (10) comprises two reservoir tubes, each of them closed at one end; the first reservoir tube, male, containing one of the constituents enters the second, female, containing the other constituent.
- a very thin cover placed perpendicular to the axis of the female tube ensures perfect sealing at the separation of the two constituents.
- the activation that is to say the placing in communication of the two reservoirs and consequently, the bringing together of the two constituents, is carried out by bringing the male and female tubes together.
- the end of the male tube being bevelled in a particular fashion, perforates the cover and maintains it in a position such that the intercommunication between the two tanks is complete.
- the balancing of the external and internal pressures is ensured by an orifice of very small diameter in the wall of the male part.
- the male part which acts plug for the female tube, is then separated from the latter to recover the solution by flow.
- FIG. 7 shows in a particular embodiment the device in section before activation (therefore in storage situation), and FIG. 8 shows the same device after activation.
- the device comprises:
- a male tube (19) which penetrates into the female tube (15), its open end (20) adjoining the cover (18). This end is cut in a bevel according to a particular cut, which has a notch (21) in staircase step.
- (19) carries a shoulder (22) which serves as a stop for the female tube (15) when the two tubes are brought together.
- a fitting port (23) of a tenth of a millimeter in diameter is drilled perpendicular to the axis at a distance from the shoulder (22) determined according to the dimensional characteristics of the assembly.
- the reservoir (A) of the male tube (19) is filled by the orifice of this tube which is kept in the vertical position; that of the reservoir (B) of the female tube (15), also maintained in the vertical position, is effected by the orifice (16) then closed by the closing means (17).
- the dimensions of the device (10), in the rest position are 20 cm for the total length and 2 cm for the outside diameter, the volumes of the tanks (A and B) then being respectively of 7 and 25 cubic centimeters.
- the two constituents stored separately in the respective tanks (A and B) and brought into contact at the time of use are respectively water and sodium dichloroisocyanurate.
- the in situ mixing of the aqueous solution of sodium dichloroisocyanurate and the alkaline solution of sodium borate (impregnating the decontamination towel) constitutes an active decontaminant capable of breaking down the molecules of most toxic chemicals.
- the second half-case of the device contains a decontamination towel (24), visible in FIGS. 3 to 5.
- the towel (24) of rectangular shape, measured in the unfolded state 39 cm by 72 cm; its thickness is 50 hundredths of a mm and it is folded over sixteen thicknesses.
- the towel (24) has the particularity of being constituted by a non-woven polypropylene material, made very highly hydrophilic by an adequate treatment. It is impregnated with a solution of sodium borate in a strongly basic medium, then it is folded and placed in its half-case. The sealing of the latter is carried out simultaneously with that containing the glove (9) and the device (10) for separately storing two components and bringing them into contact at the time of use.
- the implementation of the device for its use, is extremely simple. Just do the following: - tear the packaging (1) at the place where is indicated, for example by a red marking, the tear primer (3);
- the device is then ready to be used by the combatant who proceeds in two successive phases.
- - First phase with his hand wearing the glove
- the user first exerts repeated pressures on the entire surface of the garment to be decontaminated before proceeding by wiping said surface (the glove (9) can be rotated by 180 ° around the hand to successively use its two sides). The same process is repeated for the mask and the arming.
- the combatant then gets rid of the glove (9) impregnated with the chemical decontaminant, and he takes in the other half-case the towel (24) impregnated with the active decontaminant and unfolds it. He then first proceeds to a slow but very careful wiping of the entire surface of his mask and of his armament while striving, thanks to the flexibility and the mechanical resistance of the material constituting the towel (24), to reach the places where the glove (9) could not penetrate, and then proceed to a rapid wiping of the entire surface of his garment.
- the glove (9), the towel (24), the case (4) as well as the device (10) for storing and mixing the two constituents are finally placed in a container (flexible bag or other) in order to be recovered and destroyed.
- the duration of an individual decontamination operation can vary, depending on the operator, from 10 to 20 minutes.
- the applications of this decontamination device are mainly military, and they can concern the army, the air force and the navy.
