Abstract: A diverter valve housing has two outlets and one inlet for receiving a flow of air conveying a continuous strip of material, and a diverter duct or tube is pivotally supported within the housing on a pivot axis adjacent the inlet. The diverter tube has an outlet end portion supporting a pair of inclined cutting blades which cooperate with a cutting blade supported by the housing between the outlets for alternately and quickly chopping or cutting the strip of material when the outlet end portion of the diverter tube pivots between the two outlets of the housing. Sealing members connect the diverter tube to the housing and form stops for the diverter tube. A fluid cylinder is pivotally connected to the housing and has a piston rod pivotally connected to the diverter tube for rapidly pivoting the diverter tube between the two outlets.
Abstract: The device for the in situ disposal of incontinence articles comprises a basic housing (11) in which is placed a device (20) made of a drum-type housing (21) with an upper filling opening (22) and a cylindrical drum (30) placed in the inner space (23) of the housing (21), stationary or which can be set rotating about a horizontal axis of rotation (24) in one direction or alternately by means of a first driving device (25), with a filling opening (32) for the material to dispose of and with two wall plates (33, 34) closing both drum openings (30a, 30b) on the front side, the first wall plate (33) being connected with the drum housing and the second wall plate (34) being configured displaceable by means of a second driving device (35) in the drum rotation axis longitudinal direction or displaceable and rotatable about its center axis, whereby both front side drum wall plates (34, 35) carry on their opposing wall faces (33a, 34a) cutting, separating and disintegrating knives (40, 140) penetrating into the drum i
