"Large garbage container equipped with a floating lid" 5

The innovation relates to a large-capacity container with a floating lid according to the preamble of the main claim.

So-called large garbage containers with a floating lid are generally known in the state of the art and are usually equipped with a castor chassis, whereby two wheels each have a braking device and both braking devices can be engaged and disengaged together by means of a horizontal actuating rod mounted in the lower area of the garbage container. Furthermore, the actuating rod can be actuated by a pedal on the one hand, and on the other hand can be locked in its respective position by a locking rod and a lock assigned to this locking rod. Usually the castor chassis is locked when the large garbage container is set up at the collection point, whereby

the garbage collector removes the blockage of the castor chassis when the large garbage container is to be driven to the garbage disposal vehicle.

It was felt to be unpleasant that on the one hand the

large floating cover is accessible to strangers at all times. This means that unauthorised people can put waste into the large waste container without being authorised to do so.

By opening the large floating lid, the

a significant airflow is generated which can cause material to be blown out of the bulk refuse container and which can cause bacteria, fungi, spores, etc. to come into contact with the bulk refuse container feeder.

The innovation is therefore based on the task of converting the state-of-the-art large waste container without major modifications so that on the one hand it is possible to lock the lid of the large waste container without this affecting the emptying work by the garbage collectors.

be disturbed so that access to the large waste container is still possible without opening the large floating cover.

Another task underlying the innovation is to

to see that the large floating cover is accessible and can be opened without the castor chassis being released from its braking position.

These tasks underlying the innovation are

solved by the doctrine of the main claim.

Advantageous embodiments of the innovation are explained in the subclaims.

On the one hand, according to the innovation, it is proposed that a hinged lid is arranged in large floating lids, which has significantly smaller dimensions, for example, adapted to the usual dimensions of a normal garbage container. This small hinged lid can, for example, be

a padlock so that access to the large coin container is not available to everyone, and finally it is proposed that the smaller hinged lid cannot be swivelled through 180° but can be placed in an upright position so that it can also be used for

can be operated by smaller people.

It is also proposed that the braking device for the castor chassis be coupled to a device that locks the floating lid of the large waste container

Preferably, the procedure is such that

• · «J

When the brake pedal for the castor chassis is pressed, a locking rod is simultaneously moved into a locking slot on the floating cover, so that when the castor chassis is locked, the floating cover is also locked. 5

In a further development of the innovation, it is then provided that it is also possible to release the locking mechanism for the floating lid without releasing the braking device for the castor chassis. This arrangement is important, for example, if the large waste container is usually

closed lid on a sloping site, but the lid should still be opened and the locking of the wheels should not be released, so that, for example, larger materials can also be placed in the large waste container.

An example of the innovation is explained below using the drawings. The drawings show in

In the drawings, 1 designates a large waste container, which has a castor chassis, of which the wheels 2 can be seen. The large waste container 1 has a floating lid 7, as is part of the state of the art. 35

The castor wheels can be braked and locked using a braking device, whereby this braking device can be operated, for example, by a foot pedal 3. This foot pedal 3 is connected to a locking bar 4, which engages in a receptacle 6 of the cover 7 and thus, when

the locking bar 4 is inserted into the holder 6, preventing the floating cover 7 from being opened. In this position the castor wheel lock and the locking of the floating cover 7 can also be locked by operating a lock 5 which is part of the state of the art,

which acts on the locking bar 4. This lock 5 can only be operated using a special key by the garbage collector or, for example, by the caretaker when the large garbage container is used in a school, so that it is ensured that unauthorized persons cannot open the lid 7 of the large garbage container

can.

In order to be able to fill the large waste container with waste, a hinged lid 8 is arranged in the floating lid 7, which is movable around the hinges 11 (Fig. 3) and protects against

stop 9 so that the cover 8 cannot be rotated and pivoted by 180° from the position shown in Fig. 2.

The hinged lid 8 can be closed by a closure means 10.

sen, whereby this locking means 10 consists of an opening 12 in the hinged lid 8 and a latch 14 on the floating lid 7, whereby an opening for the introduction of a padlock or the like is provided in the latch 14.

The receptacle 6 can, as shown in the drawings of Figs. 1 to 4, be formed from a hat flange 18, which in the embodiment shown in particular in Fig. 2 is arranged on the inside of the floating cover 7. In the same way, the hat flange 18 can of course also be

the outside of the floating cover.

ε.

Instead of a hat flange 18, a simple locking bolt can of course be provided, against which the upper end of the locking rod 4 comes to rest when the floating cover 7 moves, if the latter is in the locking position.

The embodiment according to Fig. 5 solves the problem that when the castor chassis is locked and the locking rod 4 is in a position in which the floating cover 7 is secured against opening movements, an opening

the floating lid can be opened. To do this, the upper end of the locking bar 4 with a locking hook 17 engages behind a bolt 15 of a snap lock 16, which in this case is arranged on the outside of the floating lid 7.

This embodiment is intended to ensure that

For example, when the castor chassis is locked, for example when the large waste container is on a sloping place or similar, the floating lid can still be opened. However, this opening is only possible using a special key that fits the snap lock 16 and

for example, carried by the caretaker, who is now able to open the large floating lid 7 even when the castor wheels are locked, in order to, for example, add larger products.

In this embodiment, the actual lock body of the snap lock 7 is located behind the wall of the floating cover, and the element required for the lock actuation protrudes outwards through a hole in the floating cover 7.
