Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for trapping products to be eliminated, for industrial or medical use. It is known that certain products must imperatively be disposed of under conditions of maximum safety, both at the time of their capture and at the time of their storage for reprocessing.
- Known trapping devices are generally of complex and costly structure. They include disposable or washable parts, such as filters or bags, but also fixed parts which remain contaminating even if their maintenance is carried out in a perfect manner, since their sterilization cannot be ensured. In addition, these devices cannot guarantee 100% trapping of biological and toxic waste, such as mercury, which must however be eliminated in perfectly controlled systems. The need to carry out this trapping exists however, which obliges for example the dental surgeons to be equipped with amalgam separators.
- the present invention aims to provide a particularly simple and economical device which guarantees perfect security with respect to the risks of contamination.
- the subject of the present invention is a device for trapping products to be eliminated, consisting of a closed container provided with a product supply duct and a suction duct, characterized in that said container comprises at least one wall inflatable which is flexible when deflated and makes the container space-saving and rigid when inflated, the container then being rigid enough so that a suction through the suction duct creates a vacuum which sucks products to be eliminated in the container through the product supply duct.
- the inflation of said at least one wall gives the container sufficient rigidity to constitute at least part of its frame.
- the product trapping device can suck up the products to be eliminated, by simply depressurizing its interior.
- the device comprises two inflatable walls which form two opposite walls of the closed container and are completed by flexible walls stretched together after inflation and / or by rigid planar walls.
- the device comprises a single inflatable wall and, opposite to this, a joint connecting two rigid walls joining said inflatable wall, as well as flexible walls stretched between the inflatable and rigid walls.
- the inflatable walls are toric and define the periphery of the container.
- the device comprises a suction duct intended to be connected to a vacuum pump intended to create a vacuum in the closed container.
- the device according to the invention can be made of a material which is sufficiently economical for said device to be disposable, the single use of the device being the most effective solution to the risks of infection or contamination.
- the device according to the invention finds in particular its application in medicine, and more particularly in a hospital environment, where it can constitute a means of combating nosocomial infections.
- the device according to the invention takes up little space. It can for example be in the form of a flattened rectangle; configuration which facilitates its storage.
- the device according to the invention can in particular be combined with the disposable unit described in the French patent application published under the number 2.775J84 in the name of the same applicant.
- this combination provides a complete material which solves both connection problems and the problems of elimination of biological and toxic products, such as mercury in waste water.
- the device according to the invention provides security with regard to pollution and contamination problems because its operation is not based on filtering the products but on their trapping.
- the container Once the container is filled, its product supply duct can be sealed for example by heat sealing, so that the trapping of the products becomes final, and an identification, for example by bar code, can be worn on the device to facilitate its collection. , its traceability and the reprocessing of trapped products.
- the suction duct is provided with a filter whose function is to maintain inside the container vaporized products which could, in the absence of such a filter, escape due to the introduction of air or new waste into the container.
- This filter can, moreover, consist of or contain a disinfectant product intended to purify the air escaping from the container.
- the suction duct is provided with a safety valve which prevents the container from overflowing by this duct in the event of complete filling with a liquid.
- Such a valve may for example be constituted by a floating ball held opposite the mouth, in the form of a seat, of the conduit and capable of closing it by coming to apply against said seat when the liquid level reaches a certain height. in the container.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device according to an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a device according to another embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view along VI-VI of FIG. 5.
- the device of FIG. 1 comprises a closed container formed by two opposite inflatable walls 1, 2, joined by two rigid flat walls 3, 4, by a flexible bottom 5 and by a flexible upper wall 6.
- a product supply duct 7 crosses the upper wall 6 and extends inside the container to the vicinity of its bottom 5.
- a suction duct 8 also passes through the wall 6 and opens into the upper part of the container.
- the suction pipe 8 is intended to be connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) which creates a vacuum in the container and forces the suction of the products through the supply pipe 7.
- An inflation duct 9 allows the inflatable walls 1 and 2 to be filled.
- the wall 2 inflates at the same time as the wall 1 thanks to a channel 10 formed in the upper wall 6 and connecting the two walls.
- the wall 2 has its own inflation duct.
- the inflated walls 1 and 2 take a cylindrical shape. Their diameter determines the thickness of the container.
- the rigid flat walls 3 and 4 are kept apart from one another by the inflated walls 1 and 2, while the flexible walls 5 and 6 are stretched between the rigid walls and the inflated walls.
- the container When the rigid walls 1 and 2 are not inflated, the container is in the form of a flattened rectangular plate, the two rigid walls 3 and 4 being glued one against the other, as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the device traps the products sucked in through the pipe 7 under the effect of the vacuum created by the vacuum pump connected to the pipe 8.
- the rigidity imparted by the inflatable walls is indeed sufficient for the device to withstand this depression and for aspiration to occur through the conduit 7.
- conduits 7 and 8 are closed, for example by welding, gluing, tying or folding.
- the device can then be safely sent to a waste reprocessing plant.
- the container differs from the previous one only by replacing the inflatable wall 2 by a hinge 11 connecting the two rigid walls 3 and 4 and by replacing the two rectangular flexible walls 5 and 6 by flexible triangular walls 12
- This embodiment may prove to be simpler and more economical to carry out than the previous one.
- the container is empty at the start of use.
- Another possibility of using the device according to the invention is to fill it, prior to its use, with a bubbling liquid, the level of which arrives above the lower end of the product supply duct 7.
- the device can then be used to disinfect and / or treat the air drawn in by the pump before it enters the fixed parts of the installation.
- FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment in which the container 13 comprises four compartments 14, 15, 16, 17 each of which has a substantially triangular section in the manner of the container of FIG. 4.
- Each compartment is provided with a cylindrical inflatable wall 18-21 which gives it its rigidity and its volume.
- the four compartments 14-17 communicate in pairs by conduits 22-24 which connect the upper part of a container with the lower part of the neighboring container.
- a product supply duct 25 located at the hinge of the four compartments opens into the lower part of the compartment 14, while a suction duct 26 opens into the upper part of the compartment 17.
- the four compartments can be used to fulfill the following functions:
- compartment 15 recovery of any leaks coming from compartment 14,
- compartment 16 bubbling in a sterilization / air treatment liquid from compartments 14 and 15,
- compartment 17 recovery of any leaks coming from compartment 16.
- the device 13 guarantees that the recovered products are retained in its compartments and that the air sucked through it is free of contamination, which avoids pollution of the fixed lines and of the vacuum pump.
- the bubbling liquid can be introduced into the container when the container is in use, through the opening 27 provided for this purpose.
- the compartment 16 is pre-filled, in which case it is necessary to provide breakable shutters of the conduits 23 and 24 so that the liquid remains in the compartment 16 during storage of the device.
- the four compartments are constituted by two receptacles each comprising two compartments and linked together so as to produce the sequence of compartments which has just been described
- the other compartment, located downstream, contains the bubbling liquid and can be kept longer.
- all the walls of the container can be inflatable.
- no dimensional limitation is imposed on the walls of the container, which could be very large to be placed near a factory in order to collect all the products that must be recovered.
