The front portion of handle 24, be handle 24 and the nearest part of opening 14 can comprise light fixture 72.This light fixture 72 comprises the light source 74 that produces light beam, as with the lighting bulb of common batteries as the energy.This light source 74 is contained in the socket 76 of handle 24, and is orientated and makes light beam pass transparent case 78, with front or the adjacent areas that illuminates opening 14.Light source 74 can optionally be electrically connected on the battery B, to be used for from powered battery.Cover component 80 is screwed on the handle 24 by screw thread, so that case 72 is held in place, and provides the passage that leads to light source 74, to satisfy as to change the needs of purpose.Certainly, the handle 24 of equipment 10 also can be chosen as and not construct light fixture.
Return with reference to Fig. 3, between battery B and light fixture 72, handle 24 comprises driving mechanism, and this driving mechanism comprises motor 82, as common with the motor of battery as power.Motor 82 is held in place by the shell 84 that is rotatably installed in the handle 24.This motor 82 can optionally be electrically connected on the battery B, to be used for from powered battery.Driving mechanism, more particularly motor 82 is connected on the support 30, and to be used for producing the power pulling by the transmission component of driving mechanism, this transmission component plays the linearly moving effect that the rotary power from motor 82 is converted to support 30.
With reference to Figure 10, this transmission component comprises a plurality of gears and/or roller 88,90,92,94, and they optionally rotate the spool 96 of transmission component.The flexibly connecting element 98, between spool 96 and support 30, extend of transmission component as cord etc.So Connection Element 96 is connected on the support 30 at the one end, is connected on the spool 96 at its other end.When motor 82 rotated spool 96 on first direction, cord 98 was wound on the spool 96, and inwardly spurred support 30 from opening 14.When making spool 96 on second relative direction during hand rotation towards opening 14 mobile by support 30, cord 98 unwinding from the spool 96.
Particularly, motor 82 comprises output shaft 100, and this output shaft has the worm gear 88 that is formed on its far-end.This worm gear 88 comprises tooth or the screw thread that cooperates with the tooth of the external gear part 102 of first step gear 90.The tooth of the internal gear segments 104 of first step gear 90 cooperates with the tooth of the external gear part 106 of second step gear 92.Second step gear 92 comprises the internal gear segments 108 with tooth, and the tooth of this internal gear segments cooperates with the tooth of the external gear part 110 of compound gear and roller members 94.All a plurality of gears 88 to 94 all are contained in the rotatable housing mounted 84.
Shell 84 is pivotally connected on the handle 24 by pivot 112, and can move around this pivot.Particularly, shell 84 moves pivotally between the primary importance and the second place, at the primary importance place, the interior roller members of compound gear and roller members 94 or power are transmitted roller 114 and are cooperated with reel 96 disengagings, at second place place, interior roller members 114 and reel 96 frictional fit, thus the rotation of compound member 94 will cause the rotation of reel 96.Equipment 10 comprises a device, and this device makes capable delivery roll 114 cooperate with reel 96 disengagings, freely rotates to allow reel 96.In shown embodiment, the device that transmits roller disengaging cooperation that is used for exerting all one's strength comprises first biasing member 116 that is arranged on handle 24, as spring.This spring 116 breaks away from cooperation position towards first and promotes shell 84.
Switch module 118 also is arranged in the handle 24, and the power that is used to overcome first biasing member 116 moves shell 84 towards second cooperation position.This switch module 118 comprises from the surface of handle 24 outstanding actuator or button 120.This actuator 120 can move to first depressing position and the second further depressing position from the position of normally stretching out.In the second further depressed position, the power that actuator 120 makes switch module 118 overcome first biasing member 116 moves shell 84 towards its second cooperation position.
So with reference to Figure 11, when actuator 120 not being depressed, first biasing member 116 remains on it with shell 84 and first breaks away from cooperation position, and roller members 114 not with reel 96 frictional fit.Yet with reference to Figure 12, when actuator 120 was pressed down to the second place, the power that switch module 118 overcomes first biasing member 116 moved to its second cooperation position with shell 84, and roller members 114 and reel 96 frictional fit.At the second cooperation position place, motor 82 is connected on the reel 96, and can make its rotation by the said gear device.In case no longer actuator 120 is pressed down to the second place, the power of first biasing member 116 will make shell 84 return its first disengaging cooperation position, and motor 82 no longer is connected so that its rotation with reel 96.
Return with reference to Figure 10, the actuator 120 of switch module 118 also plays the effect of the electric switch between (1) battery B and light source 74 and (2) battery B and motor 82.Particularly, when actuator 120 is pressed down to primary importance, allow electric energy to flow to light source 74, illuminating near the zone the opening 14, and allow electric energy to flow to motor 82, with rotating driveshaft 100 from battery from battery B.Perhaps, when the position that actuator 120 is pressed down between the second place or first and second positions, only allow electric energy to flow to motor 82.Certainly, also can use independent switch, with driving light source optionally.Under any circumstance, after actuator 120 is pressed down to primary importance, allow flow of electrical power, after actuator further is pressed down to the second place, allow electric power to continue to flow then.
Switch module 118 also comprises second biasing member 122, and as spring, this second biasing member promotes actuator 120 towards extended position.Therefore, when the user no longer depresses actuator 120, and if overcome the power of second biasing member 122 at second place place, then actuator 120 returns its extended position.At this extended position place, interrupted from battery B to light source 74 and the electrical connection of motor 82.If desired, can use two switches or actuator.Although battery is illustrated and be described as to be used for the power supply of driving light source 74 and motor 82, will recognize that other any energy all can replace battery to use.For example, equipment 10 can optionally be configured to use common AC power or rechargeable battery.
With reference to Fig. 3, spool 96 comprises bobbin 124, and an end of cord 98 is fixed on this bobbin.When motor 82 on above-mentioned first direction during rotating scroll 96, cord 98 is rolled around bobbin 124.The other end of cord 98 is fixed on the support 30.Cord 98 passes through handle 24 and shell 12 by pulley 126 guidings.So when around spool 96 cord 98 being rolled, support is guided along slit 42, and is pulled in the shell 12 away from opening 14.When spool 96 and second step gear 94 break away from when cooperating, spool 96 rotates freely, and cord 98 unclamps from it, and this permission support 30 14 moves along slit 42 towards opening.
For lining L is encased in the waste collection 10, if door 50 and support 30 not on these positions, then move to the appropriate position with these parts.Particularly, with reference to Fig. 3,, then it is moved to open position if door 50 has not been shown in an open position.For door 50 is moved to open position from its fastening position, the user promotes button 52, and along track 54 it is slided away from opening 14.Button 52 spurs door 50 along this to track 58 via link rod 56, and door 50 is navigated to its open position.Particularly, door 50 comprises along track 58 and moves one group of four tongue piece or the protruding part 130 (also referring to Figure 13) of guiding with opposite house 50 mobile.Link rod 56 moves with button 52.About support 30,, then move to this position (shown in position and primary importance) if it is not in and opening 14 position adjacent.For support 30 is moved to from any position and opening 14 position adjacent, the user catches support 30 and it is spurred towards opening 14.Suppose switch module 120 not to be depressed, then cord 98 unclamps from spool 96, allows support 30 to move towards opening 14.
Be under the situation of suitable location at door 50 and support 30, with reference to Fig. 1 and 3, the balled end 44 of lining L is positioned at the inboard of the cradle wall 36 on the support 30, promptly in the face of on the side of shell 12 inboards, thereby is inserted in the slit 38 near the zone 48 of the lining L of balled end 44 fronts.With reference to Fig. 2 and 4, in case balled end 44 is fixed on the support 30, then the openend 46 of lining L is folded back onto on the shell 12.The typical way that this action and common mixed paper waste basket lining fold on the common mixed paper waste basket edge is similar.
Next,, switch module 120 is pressed down to its second place,, moves to the first inside position up to it with traversing carriage 30 with reference to Fig. 5.As shown in the figure, this first inside position be positioned at and opening 14 position adjacent (shown in Fig. 1 to 4) and the second inside position (shown in Fig. 6) between the position.Particularly, in addition with reference to Figure 10, actuator 120 is pressed down to second place place makes motor 82 be activated, this makes a plurality of gears 88 to 94 rotate and rotational shell 84, thereby roller members 114 cooperates with spool 96.As the rotation of composite component 94 and with the result of the frictional fit of spool 96, spool 96 rotates on first direction, wherein cord 98 is collected on the reel 124, and support 30 is drawn in the shell 12.In case support 30 arrives its first inside position, then switch module 120 is released, and promptly no longer is depressed.Because the effect of second spring 122, when no longer switch module 120 being depressed, motor 82 stops, and because the effect of first spring 116, shell 84 rotates and breaks away from it away from spool 96 and cooperates.In the first inside position, support 30 partly is pulled into lining L in the shell 12, to be formed for the sack of collection of debris or refuse in lining L.
In order to collect refuse or chip, especially with reference to Fig. 5, waste collection 10 slight inclination and location are so that opening 14 is adjacent with a slice chip or the refuse W that wish collection.Particularly, lip portion 134 parts of lower wall 16 are inserted between the ground or surface of refuse W and supporting refuse W.If desired, this lip portion 134 can be extended a distance from shell 12, and this distance is greater than the edge or the end of the upper wall 22 relative with lower wall 16.Lip portion 134 parts are inserted under the situation below the refuse W, and refuse W is positioned at partially folded on lip portion 134 on the lining L.Then, in addition with reference to Fig. 6, with time enough actuator 120 is pressed down to its second place, to allow motor 82 support 30 is drawn to the second inside position, the rear portion 136 of this second inside position and shell 12 is adjacent, and relative with opening 14.Simultaneously, manually shell 12 is moved towards refuse W forward.
Along with support 30 inwardly moves to inwardly position of second shown in Fig. 6 in the position from first shown in Fig. 5, refuse W is pulled on the lining L in the equipment 10, and equipment 10 manually moves or move to wherein towards refuse W, to continue that refuse W is sent into equipment 10.Particularly, static friction between refuse W and the lining L greater than and overcome refuse W and refuse W the surface between static friction and act on fainter gravitational resistance on the refuse W, thereby, refuse W also is pulled in the shell 12 along with lining L is pulled in the shell 12.Because equipment 10 is just with respect to the surperficial slight inclination below the refuse W, thus stop with refuse W draw in the shell 12 gravity a little less than.The distance that the length of shell 12 and refuse move between its first inside position and the second inside position is long enough basically, is enough to allow refuse W is drawn in the shell 12 fully.
With reference to Fig. 7,, then door 50 can be moved to its fastening position place in case refuse W is pulled in the equipment 10.Particularly, button 52 moves to the second place from primary importance slidably, and this primary importance is corresponding with door 50 open positions towards opening 14 (referring to Fig. 6), and this second place is corresponding with the fastening position of door 50.As already described, button 50 is connected on the door 50 by link rod 56.So when button 52 moved, along with the protuberance 130 of door 50 moves along track 58, link rod 56 was pushed to the fastening position place with door.Especially with reference to Fig. 7, along with door 50 moves to its fastening position, the edge 138 of door 50 shrinks with lining L near lip portion 134 places or its or closes, thereby any refuse W that will be arranged in lining L catches.Because the setting and the location of protuberance 130 and track 58, door 50 is self-lockings, and prevents unexpected turn-off.So opening of door 50 needs movable button 52.
For the lining L that will wherein accommodate refuse W takes out, the user catches openend 46 or any lining L part between the zone of openend 46 and the lining that shunk by door edge 138 of lining L, and keeps openend 46 to close.Also can it forever be closed with the clip (not shown) or by known slide fastener lock device (not shown).Next, such as has already been described in detail, by button 52 being slided into its primary importance place, door 50 is moved to open position from fastening position.With reference to Fig. 8, actuator 120 is in its normal position in addition, i.e. depressing position not, and spool 96 freely rotates, and this allows support 30 to be drawn to itself and opening 14 position adjacent through lining L.Then, can from equipment 10 lining L be proposed, balled end 44 is taken out from support 30.Then, the lining L that wherein has refuse W can be abandoned.
Figure 14 shows the replaceable lining that the waste collection with another preferred embodiment of the present invention uses, and wherein represents the same parts of lining with the additional same tag that symbol (') arranged, and represents the new parts of lining with new mark.In many aspects, lining L ' is identical with above-mentioned lining L.Lining L ' can be made of the material that for example is used to form common refuse bag.Lining L ' have blind end or balled end 44 ' and openend 46 '.As will describing in detail more below, different with lining L is that lining L ' comprises the sheet material 170 that is used to help to take out refuse.This sheet material 170 has first end 172 and second end 174, and this first end is fixed to balled end 44 ' go up or form therewith, this second end can freely extend to the openend 46 of lining L ' ' near.Sheet material 170 can be made by the absorbent material that is similar to common suction paper handkerchief.
With reference to Figure 15, as described to lining L, lining L ' is installed in the equipment 10 substantially.Particularly, balled end 44 ' connect or be fixed on the support 30, and openend 46 ' be folded back onto on the equipment 10.As illustrated, sheet material 170 allows freely to extend to the front of equipment 10.For refuse W is removed from surface 172, in addition with reference to Figure 16, to remove the refuse W except now the sheet material 170 of lining L ' being used for helping from the surface 172, equipment 10 is basic and above-mentioned with reference to described such use of lining L.Particularly, sheet material 170 be positioned at the refuse W that will remove directly over.
Next, actuator 120 is depressed, with support 30 from moving to the first inside position with the opening position adjacent.Simultaneously or when support 30 moves, lip portion 134 is inserted between the surface 172 of the part of refuse W and supporting refuse W, and sheet material 170 is used to force at least a portion access arrangement 10 of refuse W.Static friction between the part of refuse W and the lining L ' combines with the material power of sheet material 170 greater than the frictional force between refuse W and the surface 172, and because the slight inclination of equipment 10, the gravity that acts on the refuse W is less.So along with lining L ' is pulled in the equipment 10, lining L ' draws in refuse W in the equipment 10, and is captured between lining L ' and the sheet material 170.
Here, along with support 30 moves towards its second inside position, can continue actuator 120 is depressed, refuse W is drawn in the equipment 10 fully.Sheet material 170 have refuse W removed after institute's any liquid all or part of additional advantage that absorbs partly that may stay.Only locate in its back-end to be connected although sheet material 170 is depicted as, should be appreciated that if necessary and whole sheet material can be fixed on the lining with lining L '.In the case, refuse will be arranged on the top of sheet material 170 of equipment.Perhaps, lining L ' can be formed with absorbent material along its whole inside, and for example sheet material 170, are used for absorbing better refuse W, perhaps only be formed with absorbent material along the bottom of lining L, thereby the folded part of lining L ' has the suction sheet material.
Figure 17 shows another replaceable lining, is used for using with the waste collection of another preferred embodiment of the present invention, and wherein same parts has a symbol (" with additional) same tag represent that new parts are represented with new mark.Lining L " can form in a plurality of web-like linings 174.Each lining L " comprises blind end 44 " and openend 46 ".In addition, each lining L " comprise above-mentioned alternatively or be the sheet material 170 of above-mentioned any replaceable structure ".By be used to form lining L " the part of material fuse together near the sealing lining L " at blind end 44 " along seam 176.Near seam 176, opening 178 is set up, to be used for lining L " being fixed to the support of waste collection.Specifically, opening 178 can be received on the post (referring to the post among Fig. 1 34) of support. and this lining L " comprises perforation line 180, is used for lining L and " separate with the winding up roller of lining 174.At great majority aspect other, " with reference to above-mentioned lining L and L ' use lining L.
With reference to Figure 18, show waste collection 310 according to another preferred embodiment of the invention.This equipment 310 comprises the vertical handle 324 of elongation, and it makes the user can be in the situation operate equipment 310 of not bending over or squatting down, and promptly the user can stand and pick up fragment or refuse W.As the result who in equipment 310, produces additional volumes owing to elongated handle 324, can extend the lining L that uses with equipment 310, thereby make equipment 310 and lining L can pick up and store a plurality of tips or fragment W.In order to be easy to use, 310 button 352 leave mouthfuls 314 farther and from the nearer location, positions of gripping portion 358, thereby do not need downwards or bend over just can action button 352 for the user.Aspect other, equipment 310 is constructed and is used with reference to the said equipment 10 most.
Figure 19 shows the present invention's folding waste collection 410 of a preferred embodiment again.This equipment 410 is depicted as and is in the folding position, and wherein this equipment is compact, to be easy to storage.This equipment 410 also can comprise body, and this body has the shell that comprises U-shaped or tunnel-shaped base part 412, and this base part forms by flat substantially lower wall 414 with from the lower wall 414 upwardly extending pair of sidewalls that separate 416,418.The body of this equipment 410 also comprises U-shaped open frame 420 and handle 422, and this framework is installed in rotation on the end of U-shaped base part 412, and this handle is pivotally connected on the end relatively of base part 412.This handle 422 folds on the lower wall 414, and folds into folded position in base part 412, to be used for compact storage.
With reference to Figure 20, equipment 410 is depicted as and is in not folding position in addition, and wherein this equipment can be removed refuse as will be described in detail below.In folded position not, handle 422 rotates with respect to base part 412, thus handle 422 with respect to the plane inclination of body, this allows user to catch handle 422.For example, this handle can be perpendicular to the plane orientation of lower wall 414.In addition, open frame 420 moves from fastening position (Fig. 1), and its middle frame 420 pivots around U-shaped base part 412 or is set to open position, and its middle frame 420 and U-shaped base part 412 limit edge or opening 424 together.When framework 420 was shown in an open position and limits opening 424, lining L can be fixed on the equipment 410.Yet, under the situation that does not have framework 420, also can operating equipment.
Particularly, referring now to Figure 21, equipment 410 also comprises pulling mechanism, and this pulling mechanism comprises the spool 426 that is pivotally connected on the body.For the pick-up waste that realizes will be below describing in detail more or the purpose of chip, this spool is suitable for being detachably connected on the lining L, optionally lining L is drawn in the equipment 410.This spool 426 comprises the device that is used to be releasably connected on the lining L, be used for along with lining is wound up on the spool 426 and the device that holds the bobbin 428 of lining L and be used for the powered rotation spool.With reference to Figure 28, in shown embodiment, the device that is used for lining is releasably connected on the spool 426 is the sack link slot 430 that is limited to bobbin 428 in addition.In replaceable structure, to be used for lining L is releasably connected to device on the spool 426 can be clip, have rise flange of slit or the like.The device that is used for powered rotation is a pair of spool gears 432 (referring to Figure 25 to 29) that is connected on the bobbin 428.In replaceable structure, the device that is used for powered rotation can be to be suitable for by the periphery of power supply frictional fit, to be suitable for by chain drive sprocket or the like.
With reference to Figure 22, spool 426 is depicted as lining partly is wound on the bobbin 428.Arrow 434 show can rotating scroll 426 so that the first direction that lining L reels around bobbin 428.Arrow 436 shows the direction of lining L being drawn in opening 424 and pulling to spool 426.As will be described in greater detail below, lining L can be used for from the surface or bottom surface (not shown) removal refuse W towards the pulling of spool 426, and described refuse is pulled to spool 426.
With reference to Figure 20 to 22, lining L is essentially the sack with blind end 438 and openend 440 and describes device.Blind end 438 can be pelletizing (ball connects) part together of lining L.This allows lining L to be formed by the tubular, flexible material that is similar to common refuse bag.In order to make lining L, an end pelletizing of this tubular, flexible material forms blind end 438 together, and the other end 440 maintenances are unlimited, thereby lining L can be contained in refuse or chip wherein.As shown in Figure 21, the balled end 438 of lining L can be contained in the slit 430 of spool 426.When balled end 438 promoted on the direction of vertically basic and slit 430 or spurs, balled end 428 can be inserted in the slit 430 at an easy rate or take out from slit 430.Yet when spool 426 rotated, balled end 438 prevented that substantially lining L is pulled away from spool 426.As a result, the rotation of spool 426 on first direction makes lining L be pulled in the opening 424 and is wound on the spool 426, and the rotation of spool 426 on second direction will make the lining L that reels unclamp from spool 426.
Except its ability around body 412 rotations, handle 422 also comprises some other functional characters.Particularly, be formed on and have a shaping gripping portion 442 on its downside, thereby the user can hold better and operating equipment 410.Battery storage chamber 444 optionally is formed on handle 422 near in the mid portion of gripping portion 442.Battery storage chamber 444 can be configured to operationally hold one or more battery B, as common AA alkaline battery or similar battery.By lid or door 446, can arrive this battery chamber 444.
Handle 422 also comprises driving mechanism, and this driving mechanism comprises motor 448, as common be the motor of power with the battery, be used to make spool 426 powered rotation.This motor 448 can optionally be electrically connected with battery B, and the switch 450 that is used for by being positioned at handle 422 far-ends provides power to it.So, when switch 450 is depressed, allow electric power to flow to motor 448, and when driving mechanism was connected on the spool 426 rotating scroll, lining L can be rolled onto on the spool 426, thereby lining L is drawn in the opening 424 from battery B.When trip switch 450, will and prevent to arrive motor 448 from the blackout of battery.
Driving mechanism comprises also that optionally the output with motor 448 is connected to the device on the spool 426, thereby when CD-ROM drive motor 448, spool rotates on first direction.Particularly, motor 448 optionally is mechanically connected on the spool 426, be used for power drive it.When mechanical connection, motor drives turbine 452.This turbine 452 has tooth or the screw thread that cooperates with pinion 454.Pinion 454 and a pair of big driven wheel 456 coaxial (referring to Figure 25 to 27).So when turbine 452 rotated pinion 454, gear wheel 456 also rotated.As will be described in detail below, spool gears 432 can and break away between the cooperation position optionally mobile at cooperation position, at the cooperation position place, each spool gears 432 cooperates with each gear wheel 456 respectively, breaking away from the cooperation position place, spool gears 432 breaks away from gear wheel 456 and cooperates.
When spool gears 432 was in cooperation position, the rotation of gear wheel 456 made spool 426 rotate on first direction through spool gears 456.When lining L was connected on the spool 426, this made lining rotate again or reels around the bobbin 428 of spool 426, and is pulled in the opening 424.Such as will be described below, lining L is used for refuse W is removed from the surface or the bottom surface that will be cleaned around the coiling of spool 426.With reference to Figure 25 and 28, spool 426 is depicted as and is in cooperation position, and promptly spool gears 432 cooperates with gear wheel 456.As shown in the figure, spool 426 is installed in rotation in the shell 458, and shell is fixedly installed on the body 412.
In addition referring to Figure 28 to 29, be used for optionally output with motor 448 and be connected to device on the spool 426 and comprise and be used to make spool gears 432 to break away from the device that cooperates, to allow manual rotating scroll 426 on second rightabout with gear 456.Be used to make spool gears 432 to break away from the device that cooperates and comprise disengaging engages button 460, be used for spool 426 is moved to the disengaging cooperation position from cooperation position, break away from the cooperation position place at this, spool gears 432 breaks away from gear wheel 456 and cooperates.Particularly, when when button 460 applies power F, spool 426 moves on the direction of arrow 462, thereby the power that overcomes as the biasing device of spring 464 and so on moves to the disengaging cooperation position from cooperation position.So power F should be even as big as overcoming the resistance that spring 464 is produced.When no longer applying power F, spring 464 is pushed to its normal, engaged position backward with spool 426.
For lining L is loaded in the waste collection 410,, then it is moved to the appropriate position if handle 422 and open frame 420 are not in appropriate location (from the position shown in Figure 19) as yet.Particularly, handle 422 moves to the not folded position shown in Figure 20, and open frame 420 moves to the open position shown in Figure 20.Be in the appropriate location to be used to load under the situation of lining L at handle 422 and framework 420, with reference to Figure 21 and 28, the balled end 438 of lining L is inserted in the slit 430 of spool 426.In addition with reference to Figure 20, lining L is folded back onto on body 412 and the framework 420 in the mode on the edge that is similar to common mixed paper waste basket lining and folds into the common mixed paper waste basket.
For pick-up waste W, equipment 410 will be with respect to carrying out clean Surface or ground slight inclination and location, so that the refuse that opening 424 and hope are picked up is adjacent.Particularly, with reference to Figure 21, leading edge 466 parts of lower wall 414 are inserted into refuse W and support between the ground or surface of this refuse.Under the situation under edge 466 parts are inserted refuse W, the part of refuse W is positioned on the wadding L that folds on the edge 466.
Next, by exerting pressure to switch 450 it is driven, this allows electric power to flow to motor 448 from battery B.Suppose that spool gears 432 is in cooperation position thereby cooperates with gear wheel 456, then motor 448 makes spool 426 rotate at first direction (among Figure 28 by the direction shown in the arrow 434).As mentioned above, spool 426 makes lining L be wound up on the bobbin 428 of spool 426 in the rotation on the first direction, and enters in the opening 424.Simultaneously, body 412 moves forward along refuse W.Optionally, in addition with reference to Figure 20 B, suction sheet material 471 can be used in combination with lining L.Sheet material 471 can have with sheet material 170 discussed above and have similar water absorption character, and above-mentioned sheet material 170 is open in equipment 10.Sheet material 471 comprises adhesive segment 471a in addition, thereby sheet material 471 can be connected on the folded part of lining L when needed at an easy rate, to use therewith.So the use of sheet material 471 can be used with each lining L as required.
Because lining is reeled around spool 426, refuse W is pulled in the equipment 10 and is positioned on the lining L, and equipment 10 manually moves or move in the refuse towards refuse, further refuse is sent into equipment 10.Particularly, the stiction between refuse W and the lining L greater than and overcome the stiction between refuse and the refuse surface of living in and act on more weak gravitational resistance on the refuse, thereby along with wadding pulls to spool 426 and refuse is drawn in the equipment 410.Because equipment 410 is only with respect to the surperficial slight inclination below the refuse, thus stop refuse W is pulled to spool 426 gravity a little less than.
With reference to Figure 23, in case refuse W is pulled in the equipment 410, then framework 420 can move to its fastening position or embedding position location in addition.This action makes lining L fold on the edge 466 adjacent with the openend 440 of lining L, thereby lining L is sealed.This any refuse W that will be collected among the lining L before refuse is removed in hope catches.Be noted that do not need to worry that the material in the lining leaks, as long as lining is clipped between framework 420 and the body 412, this equipment can keep any orientation.
For the lining L that will fill refuse W removes, at first need to make spool 426 to break away from and cooperate with motor 448.Particularly, with reference to Figure 32, the user applies power F, to overcome the power of spring 464, mobile bar 426.With reference to Figure 27 and 29, power F applies and remains on the spool 426 in addition, makes spool 426 remain in the disengaging cooperation position.Being in when breaking away from cooperation position, in addition with reference to Figure 24, the user also catches the openend 440 of lining L or the lining L any part between the openend 440 and the lining zone of being clamped by framework 420.At least before removing lining L, the user keeps openend 440 sealings.The also available clip of lining L, wire-tie or by known slide fastener lock device permanent closure.
Next, framework 420 turns to open position from detent position.Then, spool 426 remain on its break away from cooperation position and the situation of freely rotating under, can on the direction of arrow 468, lining L be pulled away from from body 412, and along with pulling is unclamped from spool 426, promptly spool 426 rotates on the second direction shown in the arrow 470.Balled end 438 is removed from spool 426, and the lining L that will fill refuse W subsequently abandons.
With reference to Figure 30, equipment 410 can reach and optionally comprise light fixture 476.Particularly, the front portion of handle 422 can comprise light fixture 476, and this light fixture comprises light source 478, as common be the lighting bulb of power with the battery, this bulb produces light beam.When handle 422 is in folding downward position, light source 478 can be orientated and make light beam pass the opening 480 in the lower wall 14, and, when handle 422 is in non-folding position, be used to illuminate opening 424 fronts or near zone towards the front of equipment 410 in addition with reference to Figure 31.
When in the equipment of being included in 410, light source 478 can optionally be electrically connected to the battery that is used for providing to it electric power.Particularly, by play the effect of electric switch between battery B and light source 478, switch 450 can be configured to optionally operate light source 478.So, when depress switch 450, allow electric power to flow to light source 478, and also allow electric power to flow to motor 448 from battery B from battery B.Perhaps, switch 450 can be configured to on-off switch, when wherein being pressed down to primary importance, only allows electric power to flow to light source 478 from battery B, when further being pressed down to the second place in addition, allows electric power to flow to motor 448 from battery B.Certainly, also can adopt other structure,, be used for optionally driving light source 478, and only use switch 450, be used for optionally CD-ROM drive motor 448, or vice versa comprising the switch (not shown) that separates fully with switch 450 is set.
In all structures, switch 450 can comprise the biasing device as spring and so on, is used for pushing switch 450 to its extended position the position of promptly not depressing.Therefore, when being used for no longer depress switch 450, switch returns its extended position, wherein the disconnection that is electrically connected of battery B and light source 478 and/or motor 448.Although battery illustrated and is described as be used for power supply, should be realized that other any power sources all can replace battery B use to light source 478 and motor 448 power supplies.For example, equipment 410 also can be configured to use common AC power or rechargeable battery work.
With reference to Figure 32, show the waste collection 510 of another preferred embodiment of the present invention.This equipment 510 comprises replaceable unit, is used to make spool gears 532 to cooperate and break away from cooperation with big driven wheel 556.As mentioned above, when button 460 being pushed and keep, equipment 410 allows spool 426 to move axially with respect to gear wheel 456, thereby mobile bar gear 432 makes it break away from gear wheel 456 and cooperates.On the contrary, equipment 510 allows gear wheel 556 to move with respect to the rotating shaft of spool gears 532 is linear.In addition, equipment 510 optionally comprises one or more wheels 533, is used to make things convenient for equipment 510 to pass surperficial S and moves, and especially moves in the refuse or when refuse moves when equipment 510.In shown equipment 510, single wheel or a plurality of wheel are arranged near the end of the equipment 510 relative with opening 514.Certainly, also can adopt other wheel structure, and all these wheel structures are in all in the scope of the present invention.For example, second group of wheel can be arranged near the opening 514, and lip portion 534 can be modified as and extends downwardly into surperficial S.Most aspect other, as mentioned above, equipment 510 is with reference to equipment 410 structures and use.
Linearity about gear wheel 556 moves, and switch 550 is set up, and to be used for that gear 556 is moved to cooperation position, the tooth of its middle gear 556 cooperates with the tooth of spool gears 532.So when when button 550 applies enough power, spool gears 532 only cooperates with gear 556.Particularly, the handle 522 of equipment 510 comprises mounting structure 580, and this mounting structure can slide along the length of handle 522.This mounting structure 580 is configured to keep battery B, motor 548 and gear 552,554,556.Biasing device as spring 582 and so on is pushed this mounting structure 580 to as shown in Figure 33 normal disengaging cooperation position.Break away from the cooperation position place at this, gear wheel 556 separates and breaks away from spool gears 532 and cooperates, and spool 526 freely rotates.So, the device that is used to break away from spool gears 532 comprise removable mounting structure 580 and promote removable mounting structure 580 and gear 556 away from the spring 582 of spool gears 532.
