Crimping device for safely disposing a continuous liner bag containing toxic material

1 . A crimping device for safely disposing a continuous liner bag containing toxic material, the crimping device comprising:

a female lobe having a first body, ribs on a central semi-circular opening, a ratchet slot, a slider slot, a blade, a hinge, a latch finger, an interlocking slot and a latch guide;

a male lobe having a second body, ribs inside a central semi-circular opening of the male lobe, a twin ratchet finger protruding from the second body, a slider, a flap, twin hinges, a latch spot, a stub, and a tag locator;

two sleeves, one connectable with the semi-circular opening of male lobe and other connectable with the semi-circular opening of the female lobe wherein each of the sleeves is provided with the matching ribs and serration in an interior; and

a cap movable connected with the male lobe and the female lobe the cap having a cap body, double latch pins or self-locking with a latch pin locator, a cover, a cap hinge provided with a pin and a relief step provided on the cap body proximal to the hinge pin,

wherein the female lobe and the male lobe are connected by engaging the hinge with the twin hinges; and

wherein an underside of the cap body is stepped in construction to accommodate the blade when assembled.

2 . The crimping device of claim 1 , wherein the crimping devices is configured to be assembled by engaging the latch finger of the female lobe in a space in the lower latch slot of the male lobe seamlessly.

3 . The crimping device of claim 2 , wherein the crimping tool comprises two scissor handles, a ratchet arm and a guiding arm to guide the continuous liner bag into the crimping device.

4 . The crimping device claim 1 , wherein, the crimping device is adapted to be assembled with a second, identical crimping device for use in a crimping process, by engaging the female lobe of the first crimping device with the male lobe of the second crimping device in a front to front assembly, while the blade of the first crimping device of the second crimping device and the flap of the first crimping device come opposite to the flap of the second crimping device.

5 . The crimping device of claim 4 , wherein, after assembly, the semi-circular openings are adapted to receive a continuous liner bag-containing toxic product for crimping using a crimping tool,

wherein as the crimping tool is operated, the male lobe and female lobe move from an open position toward a close position, the slider starts moving in the slider slot and the twin ratchet finger enters the ratchet slot,

wherein as the male lobe and female lobe close, the clamping force on the continuous liner bag-increases, and the continuous liner bag is shrunk and tightened inside the semi-circular opening of the crimping device, and

wherein, once the continuous liner bag cannot compress further, the blade of crimping device cuts the continuous liner bag and the cap is turned over the open end of the crimping device, thereby ensuring that the dissected end of the continuous liner bag containing the toxic product is never exposed even during cutting.

6 . The crimping device of claim 1 wherein the twin ratchet finger of the male lobe is split into an upper portion and lower portion, with a gap in between to have an expansion effect when engaged with a ratchet in the ratchet slot of the female lobe.

7 . The crimping device of claim 1 , wherein the slider of the male lobe is provided in a way to prevent the continuous liner bag from moving and clogging the hinges when the female lobe and the male lobe are forced to close by crimping tool.

8 . The crimping device of claim 1 , wherein the female lobe includes a canopy at a top, to cover any gaps between the female lobe and the male lobe, wherein the canopy overlaps the gaps and locates itself on a step provided on the male lobe covering any gaps left while crimping.

9 . The crimping device of claim 1 , wherein the male lobe includes an S flange Cover to cover any gaps at the one end of the twin ratchet finger and at the slider,

wherein the S flange is configured to block any access to the twin ratchet finger to prevent any forceful opening, thus making the crimping device tamper-proof.

10 . The crimping device of claim 1 , wherein the male lobe, the female lobe and the cap are made of a material selected from PU, PVC, PP, and Nylon; and wherein the sleeves are made of a flexible material.
