Definitions
- the refuse compression chamber is an invention designed to solve the tremendous ecological and environmental problems associated with refuse disposal.
- the top of the chamber holds a type of press, whose piston descends to a certain point, exerting relatively gentle pressure.
- the lower end of the piston is attacted to a metal plate slightly smaller in contour than the inside of the chamber, so that it can move easily inside it.
- the refuse is thrown into the chamber through the window.
- the apparatus is set in motion and the refuse is compressed within the chamber.
- the piston then returns to its original position; as the process continues, the resistance opposed by the resufe increases as its volume increases, until it surpasses that exerted by the metal plate. The piston thus no longer extends fully.
- the chamber is emptied.
- the botton is opened, the refuse falls into a strong plastic bag, the bottom is closed again, and apparatus is once more ready for use.
- the sturdy plastic bag is sealed airtight by a hand clamp, and is placed beside the apparatus; it is not necessary to remove it immediately, for since these bags are completely impermeable, their contents are isolated from the environment. Filled bags are collected by ordinary trucks, fewer in number than today's special vehicles, which are costly to produce and pollute the air.
- the apparatus itself, as well as the "packaged" refuse, is completely impermeable, thus safeguarding the cleanliness of the city and the health of its citizens. These devices will be placed on the sidewalks, either singly or in groups; they take up little room, and will neither be obstacles to traffic flow nor occupy parking places.
- sanitation will not be dependent solely upon municipal employees, but upon the residents of the city as well, for this device is extremely simple to use. This means that in case of a strike, or on weekends and public holidays, there will be no danger to public health from contamination and offensive odour, for refuse can be compressed, packaged and sealed by the ordinary citizen.
- the drawing shows the chamber (1) as a rectangle, but this could be modified, or it can also be built to another geometric shape.
- the chamber (1) is built of a sturdy material to withstand use, and is supported on four legs (4) at a convenient height for the collection of the compressed refuse.
- the window (2) is airtight, and opens and closes by means of a special mechanism.
- the bottom (3) of the chamber (1) is also airtight, and opens and closes like the window (2), or by means of a different and stronger system.
- the press can be hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic or electric.
- the piston (5) of the press has a prescribed maximum extenction, and at its lower end is attacted to the compression plate (6), by which it exerts a relatively gentle pressure on the refuse, so that the volume of the refuse collected is one third or less of the original.
- the device is cleaned either through the window (2) or through the opening at the bottom (3) of the chamber (1).
