Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Foliensack zum Abbau von in Spurenmengen vorhandenen Verunreinigungen wie Pestizide, Fungizide, Insektizide, Formaldehyd aus Bekleidungsstücken und Polstermöbeln wie sie bei der Herstellung und insbesondere bei der Imprägnierung durch chemische Behandlung auftreten.The invention relates to a film bag for the degradation of trace amounts of contaminants such as pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, formaldehyde from clothing and upholstered furniture as they occur in the manufacture and in particular in the impregnation by chemical treatment.
Es gibt Folienmaterialien mit der Eigenschaft mit gasförmigen Molekülen obiger Substanzen zu reagieren bzw. mit dem Folienmaterial chemische Verbindungen einzugehen.There are film materials with the property of reacting with gaseous molecules of the above substances or entering into chemical compounds with the film material.
Derartige Eigenschaften von Folien sollen herausgezogen werden zur Entsorgung von chemisch behandelten Bekleidungsstücken und Polstermöbeln zum Zwecke der Entsorgung chemischer Schadstoffmoleküle, welche insbesondere auch in Lederbekleidungen oder Sitzmöbeln in für den menschlichen Körper schädlichen Mengen gasförmig eingelagert sind.Such properties of films are to be extracted for the disposal of chemically treated items of clothing and upholstered furniture for the purpose of disposing of chemical pollutant molecules, which are also stored in gaseous amounts, in particular in leather clothing or seating furniture, in quantities harmful to the human body.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde mit möglichst geringem Aufwand unter Vermeidung komplizierter und aufwendiger Einrichtungen Schadstoffkomponenten chemisch zu binden mit dem Ziel der Entsorgung.The object of the invention is to chemically bind pollutant components with as little effort as possible while avoiding complicated and expensive devices with the aim of disposal.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Gegenstände in einen verschließbaren Foliensack gebracht werden, dessen Material aus Hoch- oder Niederdruck- Polyethylen- oder Polypropylenfolie besteht und mit einer Einrichtung versehen ist zur Erzielung einer geringen Luftbewegung durch den Foliensack, wobei Schadstoffmoleküle mit den Innenflächen des Foliensackes reagieren und adsobiert werden.This object is achieved in that the objects are placed in a sealable film bag, the material of which consists of high or low pressure polyethylene or polypropylene film and is provided with a device for achieving a low level of air movement through the film bag, whereby pollutant molecules with the inner surfaces of the Foil bags react and are adsorbed.
Zur Erzielung einer geringen Luftbewegung im Foliensack ist es vorteilhaft mittels einer elektrischen Miniaturluftpumpe kontinuierlich Luft in den Foliensack zu pumpen, wobei gleichzeitig Luft aus dem Foliensack über ein Filterelement (in ausreichendem Abstand vom Lufteinlaß) entweichen kann. Hierbei sollen die in den kondaminierten Gegenständen haftenden Schadstoffmoleküle durch geringe Luftbewegung im Foliensack an die Innenoberfläche gebracht werden, um chemisch zu reagieren. Hiermit wird eine weitgehende Entsorgung kontaminierter Gegenstände erreicht.To achieve a small amount of air movement in the film bag, it is advantageous to continuously pump air into the film bag by means of an electric miniature air pump, at the same time air can escape from the film bag via a filter element (at a sufficient distance from the air inlet). In this case, the pollutant molecules adhering to the contaminated objects should be brought to the inside surface by slight air movement in the film sack in order to react chemically. This ensures that contaminated objects are largely disposed of.
Das Wesen der Erfindung ist demnach darin zu sehen, daß die im Textilgewebe gasförmig angelagerten Schadstoffmoleküle durch geeignete Luftbewegung im Foliensack an die Oberfläche der Innenseite transportiert werden und dort mit der Folie reagieren. Somit können Schadstoffe, wie sie durch die Herstellung und auch bei der chemischen Behandlung in die entsprechenden Materialien gelangen, wesentlich abgebaut und entsorgt werden.The essence of the invention is therefore to be seen in the fact that the pollutant molecules deposited in gaseous form in the textile fabric are transported to the surface of the inside by suitable air movement in the film sack and react there with the film. This means that pollutants, such as those that get into the corresponding materials during manufacture and also during chemical treatment, can be substantially broken down and disposed of.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben.
Die einzige Figur zeigt einen Foliensack 1, welcher an seiner Oberseite von innen einen Versteifungskarton 4 zur Formstabilisierung aufweist. Eine Öffnung 6 ist vorgesehen, um den Haken eines Kleiderbügels von innen hindurch zu schieben, damit der Foliensack mit dem Textilgut aufgehängt werden kann.
Im unteren Bereich des Foliensackes ist ein Lufteinlaßanschluß 2 vorgesehen, welcher mit einer kleinen elektrischen Luftpumpe 5 verbunden ist. Mindestens ein seitlicher Luftanschluß 3 im oberen Bereich des Foliensackes verhindert einen Druckaufbau, indem die zugeführte Luft in gleichem Maß aus dem Sack entweichen kann.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.
The only figure shows a
In the lower region of the film bag, an
Anstelle einer kleinen elektrischen Luftpumpe 5 kann nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform in den Wandungen des Foliensacks, vorzugsweise im Bodenteil des Foliensacks, ein elektrisch betriebener Lüftermotor angeordnet sein, wobei vorzugsweise im gegenüber angeordneten Kopfteil des Foliensacks Filter, vorzugsweise Mikrofeinstfilter (insbesondere nach DE-PS 39 32 357) angeordnet sind. In diesem Falle ist die Versteifung 4 an der Oberseite des Foliensacks in Form eines Rahmens ausgebildet.Instead of a small electric air pump 5, according to a preferred embodiment, an electrically operated fan motor can be arranged in the walls of the film bag, preferably in the bottom part of the film bag, with filters, preferably microfine filters (in particular according to DE-PS 39 32, preferably in the head part of the film bag arranged opposite) 357) are arranged. In this case, the stiffening 4 is formed on the top of the film bag in the form of a frame.
Vorrichtung 7 zum Öffnen und Schließen des Foliensacks. Dabei soll eine geringe Luftbewegung in und um das Textilgut erzeugt werden, um die flüchtigen Schadstoffmoleküle mit der Folienfläche in Kontakt zu bringen. Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Vorrichtung 7 aus einem praktisch luftdichten Schiebeverschluß.
Als Materialien für den Foliensack sind corona-behandelte Niederdruck- und/oder Hochdruckpolyethylen- und/oder Propylenfolien, zumindest deren Innenflächen, besonders bevorzugt.Corona-treated low-pressure and / or high-pressure polyethylene and / or propylene films, at least their inner surfaces, are particularly preferred as materials for the film bag.
