Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de collecte de seringues usagées et d'articles similaires. The invention relates to a device for collecting used syringes and similar articles.
Si dans le milieu hospitalier des emballages en carton sont utilisés pour regrouper les déchets infectieux tels les seringues et aiguilles utilisées par le personnel hospitalier, il n'est prévue aucune disposition pour collecter les seringues et aiguilles utilisées pour les soins à domicile ou autres. If in the hospital environment cardboard packaging is used to group infectious waste such as syringes and needles used by hospital staff, there is no provision for collecting syringes and needles used for home care or other.
De ce fait, les particuliers placent leurs aiguilles et seringues dans leur poubelle ménagère, certains mêmes faute de moyens adaptés, les abandonnent en tous lieux. As a result, individuals place their needles and syringes in their household trash, some even for lack of suitable means, abandon them everywhere.
Cela présente un danger de dissémination des virus ou autres tant pour les personnes qui manipulent les poubelles que pour les personnes qui circulent ou les enfants qui jouent dans les zones où de tels articles ont été abandonnés. This poses a danger of spreading viruses or the like for both the people who handle the bins and the people who circulate or children who play in areas where such items have been abandoned.
Pour d'autres articles usagés, il est connu de placer dans les lieux publics des dispositifs de collecte de ces articles usagés en vue de leur recyclage ou de leur destruction en milieu contrôlé. For other used articles, it is known to place in public places devices for collecting these used articles for recycling or destruction in a controlled environment.
On connaît, par exemple, des dispositifs pour la collecte du papier, des bouteilles vides, des piles électrochimiques etc... There are known, for example, devices for collecting paper, empty bottles, electrochemical cells, etc.
Ces dispositifs comprennent essentiellement un récipient présentant, d'une part, généralement à sa partie supérieure, au moins une ouverture d'entrée par laquelle les produits à collecter peuvent être introduits un à un ou en quantité limitée et, d'autre part, une découpe fermée par un moyen d'obturation dont la manoeuvre permet de vider rapidement le contenu. These devices essentially comprise a container having, on the one hand, generally at its upper part, at least one inlet opening through which the products to be collected can be introduced one by one or in limited quantity and, on the other hand, a cut closed by a shutter means whose operation allows to quickly empty the content.
L'ouverture d'entrée est constituée par une simple découpe réalisée dans la paroi du récipient et, généralement, sa section est adaptée à la section de l'article à collecter. The inlet opening consists of a simple cutout made in the wall of the container and, generally, its section is adapted to the section of the article to be collected.
Par exemple, pour la collecte des bouteilles, la section est circulaire tandis que pour la collecte des papiers journaux, la section est rectangulaire. For example, for the collection of bottles, the section is circular while for the collection of newsprint, the section is rectangular.
Les dispositifs de collecte connus sont des conteneurs en matériau synthétique ou en métal simplement posés sur le sol. Known collection devices are containers of synthetic material or metal simply placed on the ground.
Pour les vider, il est prévu, en partie basse de ces conteneurs, une trappe permettant l'évacuation totale par gravité. To empty them, a hatch is provided in the lower part of these containers allowing total evacuation by gravity.
Les ouvertures d'entrée de ces dispositifs n'empêchent pas aux personnes intéressées de, par cette voie, récupérer dans le conteneur certains des articles qui ont été jetés. The entry openings of these devices do not prevent interested persons from recovering from the container some of the articles which have been thrown away.
De ce fait, ces dispositifs ne conviennent aucunement à la collecte sur la voie publique de seringues à usage unique. As a result, these devices are in no way suitable for collecting single-use syringes on the public highway.
Un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est un dispositif de collecte du type précité qui offre toute sécurité. One of the results that the invention aims to obtain is a collection device of the aforementioned type which offers complete security.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de collecte comprenant un récipient dont l'enveloppe présente, d'une part, au moins une ouverture d'entrée par laquelle les produits à collecter sont introduits et, d'autre part, une découpe fermée par un moyen d'obturation permettant par sa manoeuvre de vider rapidement le contenu,
ce dispositif de collecte étant notamment caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend
- pour l'introduction des seringues, au moins un canal de section réduite et de longueur importante et
- l'extrémité du canal située à l'intérieur du récipient débouche dans un second récipient amovible par rapport à l'enveloppe extérieure et dans lequel tombent les seringues.To this end, the subject of the invention is a collection device comprising a container, the envelope of which has, on the one hand, at least one inlet opening through which the products to be collected are introduced and, on the other hand, a cut closed by a closure means allowing by its operation to quickly empty the content,
this collection device being particularly characterized in that it comprises
- for the introduction of syringes, at least one channel of reduced section and of considerable length, and
- The end of the channel located inside the container opens into a second removable container relative to the outer envelope and into which fall the syringes.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement
- figure 1 : coupe axiale d'un dispositif de collecte,
- figure 2 : coupe transversale d'un dispositif de collecte,
- figure 3 : coupe axiale d'une variante.The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description below given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the attached drawing which schematically represents
- Figure 1: axial section of a collection device,
- Figure 2: cross section of a collection device,
- Figure 3: axial section of a variant.
En se reportant au dessin, on voit que pour collecter des seringues 1, on utilise un dispositif 2 de collecte comprenant un récipient 3 dont l'enveloppe présente, d'une part, au moins une ouverture 4 d'entrée par laquelle les produits à collecter sont introduits et, d'autre part, une découpe 5 fermée par un moyen 10 d'obturation permettant d'en vider le contenu. Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that for collecting syringes 1, a collection device 2 is used comprising a container 3, the envelope of which has, on the one hand, at least one inlet opening 4 through which the products to collect are introduced and, on the other hand, a cutout 5 closed by a means 10 for closing allowing the contents to be emptied.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, le dispostif de collecte comprend
- pour l'introduction des seringues, au moins un canal 6 de section réduite et de longueur importante et
- l'extrémité 6A du canal située à l'intérieur du récipient débouche dans un second récipient 7 amovible par rapport à l'enveloppe 3 extérieure et dans lequel tombent les seringues.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the collection device comprises
- for the introduction of syringes, at least one channel 6 of reduced section and of considerable length, and
- The end 6A of the channel located inside the container opens into a second container 7 which can be removed from the outer casing 3 and into which the syringes fall.
Le diamètre du canal sera, par exemple, compris entre trois et cinq centimètres et la longueur du canal est d'au moins vingt centimètres, mais de préférence trente centimètres. The diameter of the channel will, for example, be between three and five centimeters and the length of the channel is at least twenty centimeters, but preferably thirty centimeters.
