AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a collection pan that can be used for collecting and disposing of solid and liquid waste. The pan has a front lip, back edge, and side edges. It includes a straight front edge and a back edge that has a straight front edge and a back wall. The pan also has a planar top surface and seamless side walls that tapercine in height from the back wall to the front lip. The front lip defines an angle with the inside bottom surface, which prevents waste material from escaping the collection plan. The pan can be manipulated using a handle and has corner walls with openings to drain liquid waste. It also includes web structures to support solid waste. The technical effects of the invention are its improved design for collecting and disposing of waste with greater efficiency and ease of use.

Problems solved by technology

There are, however, unmet needs in this technology, particularly in the area of collecting effluent on a floor or other surface that may comprise both liquid and solid elements.
Conventional dust pans are not suited for collecting liquid waste and separating liquid from solid waste.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]The present invention in different embodiments provides a floor blade and collection pan system that is useful for sweeping up combinations of solid waste along with liquid waste, such as metal chips and shavings from a metalworking process, that may well be mixed with coolant used in machining, and / or lubricant used in machining. This example is but one of many in which there may be a need to collect both solids and liquids together, and separate the solids and liquids for disposal, but should serve to fully illustrate utility of the invention, that is applicable in other circumstances not specifically described in this specification.

[0023]FIG. 1 is perspective view of a floor blade device 101 in an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a flexible blade 102 is held captured in a blade holder 103 having two parts, 104 and 105, joined by conventional fasteners capturing the flexible blade. Blade holder 103 has a female-threaded interface 106 to which a male-thre...

Abstract

A collection pan has an inside bottom surface, a front lip, a vertical shoulder wall at a back edge of the front lip of the front lip, and back and side walls for holding both liquid and solid waste material. The shoulder retains liquid material wiped across the front lip.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority to provisional application Ser. No. 62 / 503,741, and all disclosure of the prior application is incorporated herein at least by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention is in the technical area of cleaning and collection systems, and pertains more particularly to a collection pan for separating and holding both solids and liquids collected, and for disposing of solids and liquids separately.2. Description of Related Art[0003]Broom and dustpan combinations are well-known in the art, and take many forms as commercially-available equipment. There are, however, unmet needs in this technology, particularly in the area of collecting effluent on a floor or other surface that may comprise both liquid and solid elements. Conventional dust pans are not suited for collecting liquid waste and separating liquid from solid waste.[0004]What is clearly needed is a new type of collection pan that can effect...
