Abstract
An absorbent pad holder and containment system includes a frame that can be adjustable in length on all sides to accommodate a varying range of absorbent pad dimensions. The frame design allows the absorbent area of the pad to remain flat while the ramped perimeter design of the frame and the corner attachment system holds the outer edge of the absorbent pad into an upward position. This creates a containment barrier for liquid that would normally flow over the edge of the pad and onto the floor surface. The perimeter design of the liner keeps the pad centered and provides flow of all liquid landing on the pad within the absorbent area of the pad.
Claims15
A frame for holding an absorbent pad, comprising:
- a plurality of side members;
- a plurality of corner members connecting adjacent side members to form a closed loop having an open central region;
- a first retention member disposed in each of the corner members;
- and
- a hinged connector having a second retention member engaging into and releasing from the first retention member to hold the absorbent pad therebetween, wherein
- the plurality of side members includes a sloped surface sloping upward from the open central region, wherein each of the side members have ends configured to receive a tongue member therein, the tongue member extending from one of a corner member or a coupling member, and wherein each of the side members include a hole formed therein, the hole configured to receive a protrusion formed on the tongue member when the side member is fully inserted into one of the corner member or the coupling member.
