Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for transportation of dangerous refuse, especially sharp, pointed contaminated objects.
  • the panels of corrugated cardboard material need to be more than 1 cm thick, since also an easily bendable thin injection needle is guided right through a thick cardboard wall, if enough force is applied when pressing down refuse into the container.
  • the container will thereby be unreasonably material demanding and therefore expensive and heavy. _It will furthermore be difficult to raise from the flat state in which it must be delivered to the user because of practical reasons.
  • the object of the invention is to bring about a container for collection and transportation, which offers the highest possible safety against pointing objects penetrating the panels of the container, but that is yet easy to handle and easy to raise and also not too material demanding.
  • the container comprises an outer container, partly open at the top and made of a stiff material, preferably corrugated cardboard, and an inner container open at the top and made of a similar material, and spacer means, arranged at least around the perifery of the containers, to maintain a space between the panels of the containers.
  • the advantage with such a design consists in the fact that if for example the tip of an injection needle happens to be pushed through a panel of the inner container, which easily can happen • in that even a flexible injection needle can obtain support in transversal directions from adjacent material while being pushed against the panel, the tip of the flexible needle will be in the space between the panels of the containers when it is pushed further and hits the panel of the outer container, where it has a possibility to be deflected and slide along the panel of the outer container instead of penetrating it, if long enough to do so.
  • a tray of hard cardboard material is placed, according to an embodiment of the invention, on the bottom of the inner container and a plate of liquid absorbing material is placed on the tray, on one hand as a spacer means for material lying on the bottom of the container, and on the other hand as an absorbent.
  • a liquid absorbing material can be placed under the tray, primarily as a spacer means.
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal section which shows an embodimen of a container for collection and transportation of dangerous refuse according to the invention
  • Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views of a part of a preferred embodiment of the invention especially regarding the outer container, where Figure 2 shows the container before it has been closed for transportation and Figure 3 shows the container partly closed.
  • the container 1 comprises an inner container 2 of corrugated cardboard, which is open at the top.
  • the upper part of its panels constitutes tabs 3, which are folded outwards and obliquely downwards serving as spacer means with respect to an outer container 4 of cardboard with slightly larger dimensions, in which the inner container 2 is placed.
  • the outer container 4 has an upper side panel 5 which has a square or rectangular opening 6.
  • two flexible, plastic sheets 7 are glued with the edge of one of the sheets at one of the side edges of the opening 6 and an edge of the other sheet 7 at the opposite side of the opening 6 and partly overlapping each other so that the sheets close the opening 6 but can resiliently open when an object is thrown down through the opening.
  • One of the side panels of the outer container 4 is extended upwards with a long, double folded flap 8, that can serve as a suspension device, if required.
  • a long, double folded flap 8 that can serve as a suspension device, if required.
  • a tray of hard cardboard with edges folded upwards and with waxed inner side is placed and on this a plate 10 of liquid absorbing material is placed.
  • the inner container 2. is partly filled with dangerous refuse 11 ' , includ among other things used injection needles 12 ' .
  • dangerous refuse 11 ' can, by pressure from above and because the flexible needle is guided and kept straight by adjacent material, be pushed through a panel of the inner container 2. If it then is brought to hit the panel of the outer contain 4 this usually is done obliquely, and since there is nothing there to guide or transversly support the tip of the needle it will be deflected and by that prevented from penetrating the panel.
  • the outer container shown in Figures 2 and 3, has been formed from a one-sheet blank with four side panels 11,12,13,14, which have been folde as shown and glued with the edge of the panel 14 against a fastening flap 15, which is connected with the outer edge of the panel 11, which is shown particularly by a part of the edge portion of the panel 14 bein removed in Figure 2.
  • the side panel 13 is connected with a flap 16 with a square opening 17, that corresponds to the upper side panel 5 with the opening 6 in Figure 1.
  • the flap 16 has side flaps, which are folded down, and is locked in the shown position in the usual way by means of a locking tab, not shown.
  • the outer container will be closed by a top flap 18 and a cover flap 19, which are connected to the side panels 14 and 11, respectively, which up to then have been positioned folded downwards on the outside of the container and attached to the same.
  • the outer container is strong enough to sustain a rather rough handling during transportation, and the glued joint along the fastening flap 15 must not give up.
  • the closure of the outer container is performed such that the stress of the joint to fastening flap 15 is minimized. This is achieved by the top flap 18 being folded over the opening 17 with an edge 20 along the folding line 21 of the cover flap 19.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un récipient (1) destiné à la collecte et au transport de déchets dangereux, en particulier d'objets contaminés pointus et acérés (12). Afin d'empêcher que de tels objets ne traversent les panneaux du récipient, celui-ci comprend, selon l'invention, un récipient externe (4) en carton ondulé, par exemple, et un récipient interne (2) en un matériau similaire et présentant de plus petites dimensions, ainsi que des éléments d'écartement (3) disposés de façon à s'étendre au moins sur le pourtour des récipients interne et externe et à maintenir un espace entre ces derniers.
