It has already been shown for waste glass and waste paper that the materials can be recycled economically. 'As the economy of reuse of a good Depending on the presorting, people have often switched to setting up different containers for white glass and green glass. One ! a similar differentiation would also be conceivable for paper. Since one Time is also tried to collect cans and recycle them! This leads to the fact that at larger collection points Number of four or more containers are available. Even with a pleasing design of the container, it is difficult with a To produce such a collection of the container a visually non-disruptive impression.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a collecting container to create the type mentioned, which enables a differentiation of the collected goods and the accumulation of a Avoids a large number of containers.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that inside of the container a partition is arranged and that the dividing line of the parts of the container wall to be opened with the partition flees.

According to the invention, a large container is proposed which is divided into different canoes. In order to enable an economical, that is to say quick and easy to use, emptying, a simple emptying mechanism should also be applicable to the container divided into chambers. This is ensured by the fact that the dividing line of the opening flaps is flush with the dividing wall in the container. In this way: the same mechanism can be used as with the previous containers ^; used to empty the chambers. This can be carried out particularly well in the case of the known containers which have a divided base for emptying. i

, Preferably the foldable parts of the floor are at one with

j hinged hinge aligned with the partition. That has the consequence that the opening movement on opposite sides of the container terrandes begins. The emptying therefore takes place in a group of goods flow pointing away from the center of the container. This has advantages ! if both bottom flaps are opened at the same time, because the ■ groupage flows then flow apart and can therefore be easily separated are.

In this embodiment the hinge is preferably opposite the interior is covered with a triangular profile, to which the lower edge of the container wall is attached at the same time can be.

Depending on the product, it can be advantageous to link the bottom flap to the container wall and open it towards the center.

For reasons of cost, it is advantageous if the containers are made of plastic. One suitable for a large container Partition wall must be provided with considerable reinforcements in order to withstand the pressures that occur. According to the invention the partition is designed to be spherically curved. This design of the partition wall not only has advantages in terms of manufacturing technology, but also causes considerable stability. In addition, the spherically curved partition wall takes into account the fact that the Materials collected in one container at the same time often occur regularly in different amounts. With the, spherically curved partition wall, one collection chamber can be made larger than the other. Should be in such a Container, for example, green glass and white glass are collected at the same time, the larger chamber would be provided for green glass because this occurs regularly in larger quantities. ;

To increase the stability, it can be advantageous if the j

! holder, it can be advantageous if the container has a central! ! les fastening tube, from which partition walls extend to the container wall. These partitions are also preferred wise spherically arched. If the container shape is still rotationally symmetrical around the central fastening tube, I ■ can be in one and the same container with the same zenitralen Mounting tube and the same partition walls can be used to create any number of chambers. For the emptying process it is advantageous if several opening mechanisms are provided for different container walls to be opened. With a container With two chambers, two axially displaceable tubes can be provided, which end in two rings on the top of the container. To lift the container, it must then be attached to the two sliding rings and to the stationary, preferably between the ring attached to the two sliding rings. To empty the respective container chamber then first one pipe is lowered and then the other pipe after this container chamber has been emptied.

In an advantageous manner, however, all parts of the open-

the container wall can be operated by an opening mechanism. For example, the collection vehicle also only needs to do this have a partition through which the container is aligned with its partition before both flaps are opened will. For this type of emptying it is advantageous if the opening movement takes place towards the edge of the container.

'Is for emptying the. one and another chamber a change of place of the container is required, the various chambers cannot be emptied at the same time. Nevertheless An opening mechanism is sufficient if the container walls are to be opened are individually lockable in the closed position. This locking can easily be achieved by means of external bolts for the floor, j flap done. If there are more than two chambers, the partition walls of which are fastened to a central fastening tube, this can also result

Figure 4 a and

Figure 4b - schematic representations of the implementation of four or three chambers in a container with a round cross-section.

FIG. 1 shows a plastic collecting container, the housing of which consists of a one-piece bell 1 with a round cross-section and two pivotable bottom flaps 2 which are articulated on hinges 3 running in the middle of the container. To actuate the bottom flaps 2, they are connected with cables 4, the other end of which is fastened to a tube 6 which is axially displaceable in a guide 5 which is fastened in the container wall. The displaceable tube 6 ends above the container in a ί ring 7, behind which a further, but fixedly attached ring 8 is arranged. By lifting the container on the ring 8, the tube 6 is pulled upwards, whereby the bottom flaps 2 ^{: are held} in their closed position. Above the hinges 3 there is a triangular cover profile 9 'which can only be seen in the right-hand part of FIG. 1, which shows a section through the container half. The left half of the

• The container is shown as a view so that the other half j of the cover profile 9 in Figure ~ 1 can not be seen. i

I on the left half of the cover profile 9 and on the fitting;

• for the guide 5 and the stationary ring 8 are the upper and; lower side of a spherically curved partition wall 10 attached. '\ The partition wall 10 has a contoured outer container interior,

.Contour that is in the center plane of the container, which is perpendicular ^! to the plane of the figure 1 is located. From there, the partition wall 10 curves to one side. As a result, the filling volume of the left-hand chamber 11 divided by the partition in FIG. 1 becomes greater than the filling volume of the right-hand chamber 12.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the bottom flaps 2 are operated with the same opening mechanism 4, 6, 7, 8, So usually open at the same time, if not 2 latches are provided for the bottom flaps, which the bottom flaps 2 can lock individually in the closed position. In this case, the bolt is opened selectively by the Opening mechanism 4,6,7,8 only one of the two bottom flaps 2 open.

FIG. 2 shows a similarly constructed container as in FIG. 1, in which, however, the bottom flaps 2 'on the outer container edge can be opened with the aid of a hinge arranged there. The opening movement therefore takes place / towards the center of the container. The dividing wall 10 is located above the dividing line between the two bottom flaps 2 'in the closed state. In the illustrated embodiment, the two bottom flaps 2 'can be opened with separate opening mechanisms. In addition to the tube 6 axially displaceable in the guide 5, which ends in the ring 7 above the container, a second axially displaceable tube 6 ^{1 is arranged} in a guide 5 ¹ and ends above the container in a ring 7 ¹ . The two axially displaceable tubes 6, 6 ′ are arranged on both sides of the partition wall 10. The stationary attached ring 8 is in this execution '

example in the middle between the two rings 7,7 '. To the axially displaceable tubes 6,6 'are rods 13,13' attached, at the lower ends of the cross members 14, 14 'are rigidly attached. 'At the end of the cross member, a link 15, 15' are hinged, the other end rotatably connected to the bottom flaps 2 ' are. This' rigid mechanism has proven itself particularly for paper collecting containers. To protect against jamming of the hinges 3 ', a guide plate 16 is attached in the interior of the container above the hinges.

The top view shown in Figure 3 of a container with a flap opening according to Eigur 2 but only one actuating mechanism shows the position of the partition wall 10, which is preferably attached to the fitting 17 for the rings 7,8. Furthermore are Bulges 18 can be seen in which the 'hinges 3' are arranged.

in Figures 4a and 4b
The / illustrated containers have a circular cross-section. To create three or more chambers, the container can be provided with a central fastening rod 19, from which a partition 10 'extends to the edge of the container. In this way, containers with three, four, five, etc. chambers can be created using the same partition walls 10 '.

Figures 4a and 4b show schematically the bulges 18 for the attachment of hinges 3 'for bottom flaps that are shaped according to the circle segment that is formed for the chamber in question.

Also in the embodiments according to FIGS. 4a and 4b Different sized chambers can be produced in that the partitions 10 'are installed in a position rotated by 180 °. This allows both larger and smaller chambers compared to the normal size chambers shown in the figures getting produced. The structure according to Figures 4a and 4b can
