<p>PURPOSE:To enable the crushing operation of a waste fluorescent tube in stable condition and by simple operation by a method wherein a small hole is bored near the cap connection part of the glass tube part and the pressure inside of the tube is made equal to the atmopsheric pressure while performing crushing disposal after lowering rigidity of the tube. CONSTITUTION:A luminous tube disposing device 20 consists of the primary disposing part 21 boring a small hole in a fluorescent tube G and the secondary disposing part 22 performing crushing disposal of the whole tube. The primary disposing part 21 is provided with a guide 31 receiving the tube G, a sensor 32 detecting the position of a cap of the tube to be inserted into the inside of the guide and a boring device 33 boring a small hole in the glass tube part while operating in response to the sensor. The position of boring shall be in the vicinity of the cap connection part, for instance, the position distance about 2-10cm from the connection part. Further, the tube G, in which the small hole is bored, is pushed in further inside as it is, thus enabling the whole crushing to be carried out inside the secondary disposing part 22.</p> |
