Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: BODY SHROUD FOR THEIR TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION USING A SPECIFIC MACHINE Subject of the invention
[0001] The object of the present invention relates to a shroud for corpses for their transport and their placement using a specific machine.
[0002] The invention also has as its object the fact that it has a high resistance, in order to allow the bodies to be supported and maintained without risk of breakage and therefore its use in complete safety, economy and adaptability.
[0003] All of the above on the basis that it is specifically used and is designed to be used with the machine for lifting, transferring and depositing corpses and positioning them on the autopsy table or in the coffin itself. State of the art of the invention
[0004] The practical field of application of the invention is the need of the funeral client, who has to handle corpses in his field, to be able to do so once they have arrived at the "Morgue", in a hygienic manner for the staff and in complete safety, so that they do not have to move the corpses by hand until they are positioned, as already indicated, on the autopsy table or in the coffin. Description of the invention
[0005] The shroud of corpses for their transport and their placement using a specific machine which is recommended, fully meets the needs of funeral directors and forensic services which handle, for their inspection or their arrangement / preparation prior to burial, corpses with the risks of contagion by contact, and the physical efforts necessary for the activity described above, on the basis of a simple but effective solution.
[0006] It consists of a body obtained from a single rectangular pattern folded in its center, as well as a zipper through which it is accessed and 4 slings, sufficiently resistant, on the lower part which pass through 8 loops.
[0007] The body and the 4 buckles are made of biodegradable, tensile and flexible plastic and the slings are made of poly-cotton fabric (90% polyester and 10% cotton) so that the parts that participate in them give them the corresponding volume.
[0008] The zipper runs the entire length of the body, as well as the buckles and the upper and lower closure of the body are heat-sealed which avoids the use of seams, and thus ensuring the watertightness and all this with the appropriate dimensions of the machine that will use it.
[0009] From there, the shroud of corpses is obtained for their transport and their placement using a specific machine with the following advantages:
[0010] • We obtain a waterproof, leak-proof element which can be biodegradable, and / or compostable.
[0011] • The device, despite its lightness, has sufficient strength to fulfill its support function, without risk of breakage and in complete safety.
[0012] • It guarantees the watertightness of its contents.
[0013] • It has extremely high manufacturing, transportation and storage costs. weak.
[0014] • It meets the required needs Description of figures
[0015] To complete the description which will be given below and with the aim of facilitating a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical embodiment of the latter, is attached as an integral part of said description, a set of plans and photographs in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:
[0016] [Fig.l].- It shows a top perspective view made in accordance with the object of the present invention.
[0017] [Fig.2].- It shows a lower perspective view.
[0018] [Fig.3].- It shows a detail of the slings and their passage through the loops.
[0019] [Fig.4]. It shows the body (1) suspended by the slings (4) on the machine of lifting (6). Preferred embodiment of the invention
[0020] In view of the figures cited above, it can be seen that the shroud of corpses for their transport and their placement using a specific machine, object of the invention, consists of a body (1), essentially rectangular, open in the center by means of a zipper (2) with 2 pulls and obtained in bioplastic, so that the parts that make up the shroud are easily industrializable by means of the realization of patterns on the reels of bioplastic, a single model being defined, which is folded towards the center to house the zipper, and the top and bottom part are heat sealed to form the shroud of corpses for their transport and their placement using a specific machine.
[0021] The loops (5) are heat sealed and the slings (4) are inserted and sewn.
[0022] The aforementioned motifs are connected by heat sealing (3), the zipper (2) being, which is also connected by heat sealing, of waterproof and leak-proof type, thus ensuring sealing and preventing contamination in both directions.
[0023] All for their use in the lifting machine (6).
[0024] The thickness of the main body must be of the order of 0.14 millimeters.
[0025] The heat-sealed connections are made in an efficient, simple and machined manner, which guarantees uniform connections, without folds or discontinuities affecting its sealing.
Claims
Claims
1. Shroud of corpses for their transport and placement using a specific machine, being made from a body obtained from a single rectangular pattern folded in its center, as well as a zipper through which access is provided and 4 slings, sufficiently resistant, on the lower part which pass through 8 loops.
2. Shroud of corpses for their transport and their placement using a specific machine, according to claim 1, characterized in that the body and the 4 loops are made of biodegradable, tensile and flexible plastic and the slings are made of poly-cotton fabric (90% polyester and 10% cotton) so that the pieces participate in them to give them the corresponding volume.
3. Shroud of corpses for their transport and placement using a specific machine, according to claim 1, characterized in that the zipper that extends over the entire length of the body as well as the buckles and the upper and lower closure of the body are heat-sealed which avoids the use of seams, and thus ensuring the seal and all this with the appropriate dimensions of the machine that will use it.
