Abstract

See full text

A surface cleaning device designed for the safe collection and encapsulation of potentially harmful waste. It addresses the challenge of hygienically collecting waste from surfaces while preventing exposure to hazardous materials. The device features a hollow chamber (1) with an opening equipped with a first actuator and scooping member (5) that efficiently collects surface waste into disposable containment tube material (10) drawn over the chamber opening. A rotatable containment tube store (3) twists the tube around a pinch point created by the scooping actuator (5) during extension, sealing the waste into distinct compartments and ensuring containment. A second actuator (7) moves the disposable containment tube from the store. Repeat actions create multiple compartments within the tube, enhancing safety and efficiency. The primary use of this invention is in environments requiring the safe cleaning and disposal of hazardous waste, effectively isolating waste into sealed sections and minimizing risks associated with direct handling.
