Portable device for the safe and effective grinding, containment and disposal of burned-out fluorescent lamps

I, the original inventor and designer of the said present invention officially claim the following independent and dependent claims:

• A device comprising of
• a) an upper closure component, having an electric motor attached thereto, and having a guide tube means capable of accommodating and guiding the inserted burned out fluorescent lamp interiorly into it, and having impacting and grinding and crushing means to turn said burned out fluorescent lamp into debris, and including limiting means of controlling the internal insertion of said burned out fluorescent lamp;
• said electric motor having structural connection to said impacting and grinding and crushing means, and including a transparent see-through means and cleaning means to allow easy check up from the outside pertaining to the interior containment as well as the impacting and grinding and crushing progress or status of said device, and including locking and unlocking means—all of which are coordinating and engaging in functionality with:
• b) a lower closure component, having optimal and correspondingly shaped containment space to accommodate a substantially large enough non-porous strong plastic or paper sac-conforming containment material placed there-between the internal wall of said lower closure component, and the external wall of the correspondingly and optimally shaped major lower portion of said upper closure component while in the operational engaged containment and impacting and grinding and crushing phase of said device;
• said lower closure component equipped with a structural means attached there-around its base as an easy foot-controllable detaching means to facilitate the disengagement of said upper closure component from the said lower closure component;
• said lower closure component having a corresponding locking means to engage in a coordinating manner with the said locking counterpart attached to the said upper closure component.
