Horizontal Surface Edge Mountable Liquid Guidance and Drip Breaker Module

Abstract

This invention relates to a liquid deflection and droplet-breaking module that can be attached to the edge of a horizontal surface. The module includes an upper barrier section that restricts the flow of liquid along the edge, a concave channel structure that reduces the liquid flow rate, and a sharp droplet-breaking protrusion that prevents the liquid from clinging to the lower surface due to surface tension. The module also features a clip-on fixing mechanism that accommodates different surface thicknesses. This design prevents spilled liquids from flowing down the edge of the surface and reaching the user or the floor surface.

1 TARIFF 5 INVENTION TITLE Horizontal Surface Edge Mountable Liquid Guidance and Drip Breaker Module TECHNICAL FIELD This invention helps to control liquid spills occurring at horizontal surface edges. It relates to auxiliary modules, and specifically to the effect of surface tension of the liquid, from the edge 10 modular edge with a droplet-breaking profile structure that prevents downward flow It relates to its elements. STATE OF THE ART Liquid spills on horizontal surfaces, especially on tables and similar usage areas. The overflow of the resulting runoff from the surface edge is a common problem. Spilled 15 Liquids form droplets at the surface edge and adhere to the underlying surface due to the effect of surface tension. It flows downwards. This situation causes liquids to spill on users and the floor. This leads to contamination and hygiene problems. In common applications, fixed elevation profiles or fixed simple barriers are used at the surface edges. These elements can be applied. However, such solutions generally require controlling the flow rate of the fluid. and a special cross-sectional geometry designed to overcome the surface tension effect. It does not include. Furthermore, existing applications are fixed in structure and modular, which can be added later. It does not have a system feature. Therefore, fluid flow can be controlled not only by a physical barrier but also by surface tension. by controlling its effect with a special cross-section geometry that will mitigate it, and subsequently adding 25 to existing surfaces. A feasible modular solution is needed. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The aim of this invention is to control liquid spills occurring at horizontal surface edges. by taking advantage of the surface tension effect, it prevents the liquid from flowing downwards from the surface edge. The aim is to provide a modular edge element with a special cross-sectional geometry designed for breaking. 30 Another aim of the invention is to stop the flow of the liquid, rather than simply stopping it with a physical barrier. a channel structure that reduces its speed and changes its direction, along with droplet formation on the lower surface The goal is to present a structure featuring a sharp, droplet-breaking profile that prevents leakage. The invention can also be retrofitted to existing horizontal surfaces, with varying surface thicknesses. Development of a module with an adaptable clip-on fastening mechanism 35 that is intended. This prevents liquid spills from reaching the user or the floor surface, thus ensuring hygiene. and user safety is being improved. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE INVENTION The subject of the invention is a liquid guiding and droplet breaking module (1), to be attached to the edge of the horizontal surface (Y) 40 It is structured as follows; upper barrier section (2), concave channel structure (3), droplet breaker It includes a protrusion (4) and a clip fastening mechanism (5). 2 The upper barrier section (2) is positioned to contact the top of the horizontal surface. 5 a physical elevation that prevents the liquid from directly overflowing the surface edge This section creates initial flow control by reducing the speed at which the fluid reaches the edge. It provides. The concave channel structure (3) located at the bottom of the upper barrier section directs the flow of the liquid. It is structured to alter and reduce the kinetic energy of the fluid. The channel in question allows 10% of the fluid to pass through. by preventing it from moving directly to the bottom edge, it ensures a controlled slowing down. It has a geometry of slopes and curves that will break the momentum of the fluid. A droplet breaker projection (4) located below the concave channel, a sharp-edged cross-section This creates a change in cross-section. Thanks to this change in cross-section, the liquid is able to move to the bottom due to the effect of surface tension. By adhering to the surface, it prevents the liquid from flowing downwards. Thus, the liquid adheres to the underlying surface without 15 The flow is either maintained on the profile or diverted, interrupting the downstream flow. The droplet breaker protrusion (4) should preferably be positioned at an angle between 30° and 90° with the bottom surface. It has a sharp profile structure. This angle range is due to the surface tension effect of the liquid on the substrate. It is structured in a way that will physically interrupt its continuation. Module (1) is slightly horizontal in order to prevent the liquid from accumulating at a single point. It may have a sloping profile structure. Thanks to this slope, the liquid is controlled along the edge. By progressing in this manner, they can gather in a specific direction. Module (1) is a clip-on module structured to accommodate different surface thicknesses. It includes a fixing mechanism (5). The said clip mechanism (5) is flexible in structure. This allows the module to be retrofitted to existing horizontal surfaces. Clip-on 25 The inner surface of the mechanism features a protective and anti-slip elastomeric pad. It can be found.
