Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic lining bag for lining a relatively flat upwardly open container, in particular a bedpan, and including adhesive means for temporarily fastening the back to the container.
  • Bedpans are generally used in hospitals or other larger institutions in which comparatively heavy and expensive equipments are available with the view of cleaning and sterilizing bedpans after use.
  • the adhesive coating on the side of the plastic lining bag so that in use this will adhere directly to the bottom of a container, such as a bed-pan, entirely accross the bottom face, and designing it to adhere strongly to the plastic bag and faintly to the container the plastic bag will be safely retained in the container in use and after use the uncleaned plastic bag may be readily removed.
  • the bag In connection with the removal the bag may be folded or rolled with the unclean side turned inwardly and the position of the adhesive means across the wall part of the bag which has been in contact with the bottom of the container provides an efficient sealing of the bag.
  • the adhesive coating is formed as a double-adhering foil.
  • the different adhesion may advantageously be obtained by applying different adhesive coatings to the two adhesive sides of the foil. It is thus obtained that the adhesive coating and the plastic bag may be purchased separately and different plastic bags may be used according to desire, and the strong and faint adhesion, respectively, may be obtained by means of different adhesive coatings.
  • the different adhesion on the two sides may alternatively be obtained in that the same adhesive is used on the two sides of the foil but that the adhesive on the faintly adhering side is applied as a grid pattern.
  • the designing of the double-adhering foil as a sheet and with substatially the same shape as the bottom of the container provides for obtaining a simplified handling of the foil.
  • the adhesive foil sheet may be provided with at least one non-adhering tearing-off tab which in the position of use extends upwards along the internal side of the container towards the upper rim thereof.
  • the device consists of an adhesive coating 3 positioned between the container 1 which in the illustrated example is a bedpan, and the plastic bag 2.
  • the adhesive is of such a type that the adhesion to the plastic bag is strong and the adhesion to the bedpan is vague.
  • Figs 3 and 4 show an example of a sheet-shaped double-adhering foil 6 with grasping tabs 5.
  • the sheet-shaped double-adhering foil consists of a carrier foil 12 forming also the grasping tabs 5, an adhesive coating 9 for adhesion against the plastic bag and having a cover sheet 7 with a tearing-off tab 11 and an adhesive coating 10 applied as a grid pattern and having a cover sheet 8 with a tearing-off tab 13.
  • the cover sheet 8 which may advantageously have another colour than the cover sheet 7 is at first teared off by means of the tearing-off tab 13 and the foil is placed inside the basin of the bedpan 1, the grasp tabs 5 being oriented upwardly along the internal side of the bedpan.
  • Cover sheet 7 is then teared off by means of the tearing-off tab 11 and the plastic bag is fixedly adhered to the bottom of the bedpan and everted over the sides. (See Fig. 1).
  • the plastic bag and the adhesive foil are removed from the bedpan and disposed of while using the grasping tabs 5, following which the bedpan is ready for receiving a new foil and plastic bag.
  • the device according to the invention may be used for other purposes requiring a plastic bag to be temporarily fastened in an upwards open container, e.g. a disposal bag in a bin as generally used on railway stations, in parks, at bus stops and the like, or a plastic bag in a closet pail or in a chemical closet.
  • a plastic bag to be temporarily fastened in an upwards open container, e.g. a disposal bag in a bin as generally used on railway stations, in parks, at bus stops and the like, or a plastic bag in a closet pail or in a chemical closet.
  • the device is supposed to be manufatured in many varying versions, such as a plastic bag provided with an adhesive coating and with a cover sheet or double-adhering foil or sheet foils delivered separately along with plastic bags or applied to plastic bags.
