Description
- The invention relates to a device for placing and containing objects therein, in particular soiled objects such as soiled diapers, comprising a container and a cover, said cover including a hollow tubular element that is open at at least one end, in which a body capable of reciprocating motion is provided, said cover being pivotable with respect to the container between a first position, in which an object can be placed into the tubular element from the outside, and a second position, in which the body can move downwards in the tubular element under the influence of the force of gravity in order to push the object into the container, according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is known from
US-A-5 765 339 . It is noted that the term diapers is understood to mean not only baby diapers but also incontinence diapers, in particular for adults. - Another device is known from
US-A-5 765 339 as well as fromEP-B-0 776 305 . In this device, the cover forms a one-way valve, in which the tubular element is configured as a cylinder and the body is configured as a piston capable of reciprocating sliding movement therein. When the cover of the known device is in the first position, objects can be placed into the cylinder, whereupon the cover can be pivoted to the second position. During said pivoting, the piston moves downwards under the force of gravity in order to push the objects into the container. The cover has two open ends, so that objects can be placed into the cylinder both in the first position and in the second position. Rubber O-rings provide an odour-tight and liquid-tight seal. - The object of the invention is to improve a device as known from the prior art and in order to accomplish that object a device of the kind referred to in the introductory paragraph is characterised according to claim 1.
- In a preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the body is detachably connected to the sleeve. This makes it possible to clean, replace or repair the body separately, if necessary, with the sleeve possibly remaining in place within the cylinder.
- In another preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the sleeve comprises a compartment near its closed end, in which the body is accommodated. After the body has been placed in the compartment, the compartment can be closed by means of a zipper or Velcro, for example, and subsequently be opened again, if desired.
- In another preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the body is made up of a disc capable of reciprocating motion within the tubular element that is configured as a cylinder. Said disc may be weighted.
- In another preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the sleeve is detachably attached to the tubular element. This makes it possible to design the sleeve as a replaceable item, i.e. a product that can be separately purchased to replace a sleeve already being in use after some time has passed. The sleeve in particular includes a spring ring at the location of its circumferential edge. The term spring ring as used herein is understood to be a ring of a springing material that can be moved from a starting position, in which the ring has a first circumferential edge, to a pressed-together position, in which the ring has a second, smaller circumferential edge, and vice versa. By pressing the ring together and thus reducing the dimension of the circumferential edge, the sleeve can readily be inserted into the tubular element. When the ring is subsequently released again, it can spring back to its starting position and lock itself in place within the cylinder. Preferably, the ring is configured as a flexible, rubber ring fitted in the sleeve, which can be pressed together.
- In another preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the sleeve is attached to the tubular element on an inner side thereof. Preferably, the tubular element is provided with a circumferential groove on the inside for receiving the circumferential edge of the sleeve. If the sleeve is provided with a spring ring, as explained above, said ring will fit in the circumferential groove.
- In another preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention, the container comprises at least two detachably interconnected segments arranged one on top of the other, the lower segment of which also comprises a bottom of the container. This facilitates transportation, while the user can selectively reduce or enlarge the device.
- The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to figures illustrated in a drawing, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic, perspective view of a device not being part of the invention; -
Figure 2 shows the device offigure 1 in disassembled condition; -
Figures 3a-3c show the operation of the device offigures 1 and2 in steps; -
Figure 4 is a schematic, perspective view of the sleeve ; and -
Figures 5a-5c correspond tofigures 3a-3c , but in this case they relate to the device according to the invention. -
Figure 1 shows a device 1 of plastic material for placing and containing soiled objects (not shown) therein, in particular soiled incontinence diapers for adults, said device comprising acontainer 2 and acover 3. Thecontainer 2 is made up of foursegments lowermost segment 4d also forming the bottom of thecontainer 2. Thecover 3 is provided with a hollow cylinder 7 that is open on twosides disc 8 can slide up and down, as will be explained in more detail yet hereinafter with reference tofigures 2 and3 . The cover can be manually pivoted about apivot axis 10 with respect to thecontainer 2 by means of ahandle 9 from a first position, in which a soiled incontinence diaper can be deposited into the cylinder 7, to a second position, in which thedisc 8 can slide down in the cylinder 7 under the influence of the force of gravity, and vice versa, for pushing the soiled incontinence diaper into thecontainer 2. - With reference to
figure 2 , thesegment 4b of thecontainer 2 is configured as a support for abag 11 of a flexible material, such as a refuse bag or a pedal bin liner for containing soiled incontinence diapers. Thebag 11 can be exchanged after some time by pivoting thesegment 4a about apivot axis 12 with respect to thesegment 4b to an open position as shown infigure 2 . After thebag 11 has been exchanged, thesegment 4a can be pivoted about thepivot axis 12 to a closed position again, with alip 13 of thesegment 4a snapping into a correspondingly shapedrectangular opening 14 in thesegment 4b. Thelip 13 is unlocked again via apushbutton 15. On both sides thecover 3 is provided with laterally extendingprojections 16, which can be inserted into correspondinglyshaped recesses 17 in theuppermost segment 4a of thecontainer 2. Theprojections 16 form bearings, as it were, that make it possible to pivot thecover 3 between the aforesaid first and second positions. Asfigure 2 shows, the cylinder 7 is provided with aflexible sleeve 18 on the inner side, Parts that correspond to parts shown infigure 1 are indicated by the same numerals. -
Figures 3a-3c , in which thecontainer 2 and thecover 3 are partially shown in cross-sectional view for the sake of clarity, show steps of the operation of the device 1 offigures 1 and2 . Asfigures 3a-3c show, theflexible sleeve 18 is provided on the inner side of the cylinder 7. Thesleeve 18 is closed by thedisc 8 at one end, which disc is to that end accommodated in a compartment or chamber of 19 of thesleeve 18. Thedisc 8 is retained in thecompartment 19, therefore. At the free end of thesleeve 18, thesleeve 18 is provided with aspring ring 21 at the location of itscircumferential edge 20, which ring fits in acircumferential groove 22 at the inner side of the cylinder 7. By pressing thering 21 together, thereby reducing the dimension of its circumferential edge, thering 21 can readily be moved into and out of the cylinder 7 together with thesleeve 18. Thering 21 will spring back to its starting position upon being released. Infigure 3a thecover 3 is shown in the aforesaid first position, i.e. the position in which a soiled incontinence diaper can be deposited into the cylinder 7 via theopen end 5 thereof. Thecover 3 can be pivoted about thepivot axis 10 with respect to the container 2 (figure 3b ) by means of thehandle 9 that is shown infigures 1 and2 . During said pivoting, thedisc 8 slides down on account of its mass and the force of gravity in order to push the soiled incontinence diaper into thecontainer 2 via theopen end 6 of the cylinder 7. Since the cylinder 7 has twoopen ends cover 3 is immediately ready for receiving soiled incontinence diapers again in the second position. - It is noted that the
sleeve 18 is detachably attached to the cylinder 7 by means of thespring ring 21. That is, after thesleeve 18 has been detached from the cylinder 7 and thedisc 8 has been removed from thecompartment 19, thesleeve 18 can either be cleaned separately or be disposed of as a disposable article and be exchanged for a new one. -
Figure 4 is a schematic, perspective view of thesleeve 18, in which parts that correspond to parts shown in the preceding figures are indicated by the same numerals. A flexible ring may be used instead of thespring ring 21. Asfigures 1 ,2 and3 show, the twoends cover 3 are provided with asealing ring 23, preferably made of rubber. -
Figures 5a-5c correspond tofigures 3a-3c , with this difference that the hollow cylinder 7 is open only at oneend 6 and that consequently theend 5 is closed, and that thesleeve 18 is not provided halfway the inner side of the cylinder 7 but near the end thereof. Thesleeve 18 may be provided even closer to saidend 6. Parts that correspond to parts shown infigures 3a-3c are indicated by the same numerals. Also in this case, thecover 3 can be manually pivoted with respect to thecontainer 2 by means of thehandle 9 from a first position, in which a soiled incontinence diaper can be deposited in the cylinder 7 (figure 5c ), to a second position, in which thedisc 8 can slide down in the cylinder 7 under the influence of the force of gravity, and vice versa, for pushing the soiled incontinence diaper into the container 2 (figure 5b and figure 5a , respectively). - The invention is not limited to the embodiment as shown herein, but it also extends to other preferred variants that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
