摘要:
An apparatus for use in the storage and transportation of recyclable waste comprises a housing (10) having a bottom (16) for standing on the ground, a rear wall (20), a pair of opposed side walls (22), a handle (26) adjacent the top and rear of the housing, and a pair of wheels (28) adjacent the bottom and rear of the housing and arranged such that the housing can be tipped rearwardly using the handle so that the wheels engage the ground, so that the bottom of the housing no longer engages the ground and so that the apparatus can be moved on the wheels using the handle to move it. The housing provides at least one space (48) accessible from the front of the housing, the or each space being arranged to receive at least one recycling box (12) having a base (30), four side walls (32) and an open top. The apparatus has a platform, runners or the like (14,52,64,86) for supporting the or each recycling box in its space such that the or each recycling box can be slid into the housing from the front and such that when the or each recycling box is in the housing the front-facing side wall(s) of the recycling box(es) substantially close(s) the front of the housing and the recycling boxes are covered. Existing recycling boxes can be used. When the recycling box(es) are slid into the housing, their contents are protected from the elements, and they can be moved by a householder on collection day without any need for lifting.

The present invention relates to the use of photosensitizers to provide antibacterial surfaces on consumer and industrial items. The method comprises selecting a photosensitizer capable of being activted by an environmental condition and applying a photosensitizer formulation to a surface that is required to exhibit antimicrobial activity. The formulation is exposed to an environmental condition such as ambient light or an illumination source so as to activate the photosensitizer and produce singlet oxygen to destroy targeted microbes on the surface. In the preferred embodiment, a surface (102) is coated with the photosensitizer formulation (104) and the surface is further covered with a protective layer (108) that protects the photosensitizer from activation illumination and oxygen. In another preferred embodiment, there is a product having multiple layers, wherein each of the layers is a sheet having an upper surface coated with a photosensitizer. Each of the sheet layers protects an upper surface on the lower sheet from activation illumination and oxygen.

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des conteneurs de déchets réalisés en sac souple en particulier ceux qui sont destinés à la récupération du verre et du papier. L'invention consiste fondamentalement à placer une toile de liaison (4) entre les deux grands cotés (3) d'un sac de forme bi-carré (1) ou bi-rectangle. Ce faisant, quand le sac est en chargement, celui-ci se transforme en bi-rond (5) &( 6). Le calcul des formes permet à l'homme de l'art d'optimiser les proportions (2) (3) d'un sac bi-carré (1) ou bi-rectangulaire à liaison centrale (4), afin que celui-ci remplisse au mieux, par exemple, la largeur d'un camion de transport, avec un coefficient d'occupation de la surface qui soit satisfaisant, tout en pénétrant dans un encombrement donné initial (7). On comprend ainsi que la mise en oeuvre de cette invention apporte enfin une solution satisfaisante au plan de la collecte des déchets lourds dans des sacs souples, permettant de réaliser un sac souple de, par exemple 4 m 3 , tout en faisant en sorte que celui-ci, une fois plein, occupe toute la largeur du camion qui le transporte et que les deux volumes du sacs soient en proportion des déchets recueillis.
摘要:
A drawtape bag (10) comprises a pair of pliable thermoplastic body panels (16) joined to each other along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom (18) bridging the opposing sides. The bag (10) may be opened along the mouth end (20) formed opposite the bottom (18). At least one of the body panels (16) forms a hem (22) along the mouth end (20) of the bag (10), and the hem (22) houses a pliable thermoplastic drawtape (24). One or more drawtape holes (26) located within the hem (22) expose the drawtape (24) allowing it to be pulled through the holes (26) to close the bag (10) and to be used as a handle. The elastic top feature is provided by an elastomeric strip (30) connected to a looped section of the drawtape (24) housed within the hem (22). Specifically, the drawtape section is gathered into one or more loops defining a series of crests (35) and troughs (34), and each trough (34) is sealed to the elastomeric strip (30).
