DE202005010405U1 - Garbage collecting bin, has pedal attached on axle, which rests against housing and forms foot surface, which protrudes over surface of rear wall of housing, where surface is developed as anti-skid surface - Google Patents

Abstract

The bin (1) has a can-shaped housing (2), and two wheels, which are located on a common axle. A recess (6) is provided in a rear wall of the can-shaped housing, through which the axle extends. A pedal (7) is attached on the axle, which rests against the housing and forms a foot surface (8), which protrudes over the surface of the rear wall of the housing. The surface is developed as anti-skid surface.

Description

The Innovation relates to a waste container according to the preamble of Claim 1.

It is known in practice, recesses in the back panel in Form of indentations provided by which the axis of the two impellers runs. In this way, the user can press with his foot on the axle while he at the same time in the upper area, for example, provided there Handles, the garbage bin tilts. By "holding on" the lower end The tilting of the waste collection container is facilitated and it will avoided that during the tilting movement that initiated at the top of the waste bin or trying to move the entire waste container on its wheels is going to flip over.

Of the Innovation is the object of a generic waste container to the effect To improve this on particularly simple and power-saving Way can be tilted.

These Task is performed by a waste container with the characteristics of Claim 1 solved.

The Innovation beats in other words, to provide a pedal which is attached to the axle is. With one section, the pedal rests against the housing of the waste collection bin and with another section, the pedal protrudes, forming a tread over the Back of the housing, so that tread surface particularly easy and convenient to reach by the user. Because the user does not step on the axis, but on the tread, will cause the horizontal distance between tread surface and axle to a torque, which supports the tilting movement. The tread the pedal is not just for the user easier to reach than lying in the recess Axis of the waste container, but that through the pedal into the container initiated tipping moment supported the tilting movement, so that in two ways and in different ways Tilting process for the user is relieved.

Advantageous the pedal may have a through hole, or if it is as Hollow body designed is or cavities has, there may be a plurality of aligned through holes so that it is mounted axially on the axis of the refuse collection container can be, so on the front of the axis and then on the axis can be "threaded" can be done, for example, by the pedal in the recess held on the back wall and then from the side of the axle through the entire container pushed through with the pedal "threaded" onto the axle.

By the embodiment with through holes is a reliable solid and permanent seat the pedal on the axle ensures so that even under the impact forces, acting on the pedal, a detachment of the pedal from the axle reliable is excluded.

To Solve one the two wheels can the axle together with the remaining impeller from the housing of the scrap collection be at least partially pulled out and in the above Then follow the pedal at the waste container to be assembled. So it is a problem-free retrofitting the pedal in generic waste collection containers possible.

Especially can the retrofittability the pedal also for Consumers are simplified by the fact that the axle mounted on the housing can remain. For this purpose, it may be provided that the pedal is not axially aufzustecken on the shaft but radial. For this purpose, that has Pedal a Aufnehmung, which runs parallel to the axis and open over its entire length is, so the pedal is initially paraxial can be arranged and then in the radial direction the axle can be plugged on.

Around a reliable one To ensure the stop of the thus radially mounted pedal the pedal can advantageously be designed in several parts, so that one the components has the axially parallel recess, but with the other component is "closed." In contrast for example, an approximately omega-shaped recess, which can be clipped on the axle can on this Way a reliable one Stop the pedal to be achieved on the axis.

The both components can in the sense of particularly easy retrofitting of the pedal advantageous Tool-free connected to each other. It can be provided be a rest or To provide clip connection between the two components, wherein depending on the design of this locking or clip connection causes can be that at a pressure on the pedal the locking connection Not open, but is loaded in its closing direction, so that on this Way an unwanted disassembly of the pedal is excluded from the axis.

Advantageously, the tread surface can be designed to be slip-resistant, so that a particularly reliable and simple operation is also possible, for example, in the wet state of the pedal, For example, if the refuse container is exposed to moisture by rain or the like.

to non-slip design, the tread, for example, with knobs be provided, which may be designed punctiform or elongated. alternative can the tread be provided with a reibfreudigen material, such as a Rubber-like Material.

embodiments The innovation will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

there shows

1 altogether a refuse collection container,

2 a look at the back of the waste bin in the area of the axle and wheels,

3 a perspective view of a pedal, and

4 a section through a second embodiment of a pedal.

In the drawings is with 1 total designated a waste container, in 1 the waste container is shown without the lid usually provided.

The waste bin 1 has a cup-shaped housing 2 on, with a back wall 3 , two wheels 4 and a common axis 5 , on both wheels 4 are mounted. The back wall 3 also has a recess or recess near the ground 6 on, through which the axis 5 extends, leaving the axis 5 basically accessible from the outside.

In the illustrated embodiment, there is a pedal 7 on the axis 5 in the region of the recess 6 , The pedal 7 has a tread 8th on top of the back of the case 3 from the recess 6 protrudes and thus is particularly accessible to a user. Furthermore, the pedal points 7 a section 9 on, with which it's the case 2 is applied. The pedal 7 is opposite the case 2 colored differently, so that it is particularly easy for the user to recognize what the operation of the pedal 7 further eased for the user.

3 shows an embodiment of a pedal 7 in which the tread 8th with a variety of circular pimples 10 is designed slip-resistant. Particularly easy and material-saving is this embodiment of the pedal 7 by its design as a hollow component. Two opposite end walls of the pedal 7 have two aligned holes 11 on, so this pedal 7 only axially on the axle 5 can be plugged.

4 shows a two-piece designed pedal 7 , where a first part 12 one over the entire length of the pedal 7 open recess 14 has, so that this first part axially parallel and thus radially to the axis 5 can be plugged. The recess 14 is bounded on both sides by latching arms 15 ,

The assembly of this first part 12 can be done without tools by an untrained user that this first part of the in the recess 6 of the housing 2 visible axis 5 is plugged. Subsequently, the first part 12 so far around the axis 5 twisted circumferentially, that the two locking arms 15 to the user. In this position, a second part 16 of the pedal 7 on the latch arms 15 put on and resting on the first part 12 be locked. At a pressure on the tread 8th becomes the second part 16 on the latch arm 15 of the first part 12 pressed, leaving an unwanted separation of the two parts 12 and 16 is avoided. This can be a projection on the inside of the second part 16 be provided, or a third, additional component, with this component or said projection between the latching arms 15 of the first part 12 extend. In particular, with the help of an additional component, which in turn latching on the first or second part 12 or 16 can be set, can be reliably effected, that the two latching arms 15 maintain their intended distance from each other, so that a detachment of the second part 16 from the first part 12 is excluded.
