Description

The invention relates to a stackable waste collection container.

The recyclable part of the waste 5 is to be understood under old material, which is after processing and Treatment is reintroduced into the economic cycle as a usable product (recycling). Old materials that arise in the household, such as newspapers, bottles, old clothes, are partly!

10 tive organizations collected through house collections. But since here the old materials are collected in the households themselves over a longer period of time and until the next one Having to stack and store house collections is becoming the more convenient route for many citizens, including those

15 to have old materials removed with the garbage, went. The actually collected share of waste materials in household waste is therefore low.

Another type of waste collection, especially the Collection of glass consists in collecting containers in mostly densely populated urban areas in central locations be set up. Because of the inconvenient, long transport routes for the waste materials to these collection containers, this system is only accepted by a small group of people. Overall, a large part of the AIt-3toffe remains ultimately in the garbage and is disposed of with this at high cost.

It would therefore be desirable to selectively collect the various waste materials on site, i. H. decentralized and close to the budget. Stackable containers with which on site, here in manufacturing companies at the individual workstations, Old materials collected in the form of production waste are known as so-called Euro pallets. Such a pallet is available as a box open at the top or as a lattice cage with four arranged in the corners Supports formed so that when the pallets are stacked, the supports are on top of each other and the stacking support points form. The collection of used materials is now going on in such a way that one of these pallets is next to the workplace set up and filled with waste material from above by the machine or the worker until it is full is. Now a second pallet is placed on top of the first and filled again. If by the amount of the arising Stack the loading of the pallets is no longer possible or inconvenient, this stack is filled with full

Pallets are usually transported away by a forklift. 30th

These known pallets or containers are for the selective collection of waste materials, i.e. for collecting different waste materials in one place not very suitable. The individual containers can, if they are to save space are stacked, are practically no longer gradually filled with different waste materials, since the Filling opening of a lower container from the one above

seated container is covered except for a narrow side slit. A selective collection of old materials could thus only be done in containers placed side by side. The containers are also facing up 5 open, so that when setting up the container in the open air, which is the rule when collecting old materials Households, the contents of the container are exposed to the weather without protection. Especially with a For waste paper collection, the container should be covered.

In the case of a wide open container for waste glass or for cans that are not attacked by the weather, there is a risk that children climb into the container and injure themselves, so take appropriate measures here too may also be required.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a container for collecting waste material that can be filled with good can be used variably and stacked.

This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

With the features of claim 1 it is achieved that each waste container is closed for itself. Thus can Hardly any rain can penetrate the container and the wind can do not blow away any loosely introduced waste paper. The risk of accident from getting into the container and touching it for example with old glass is practically off. There is also a closed container that holds the Concealed view of the old materials, visually more attractive and can therefore also be advantageous at heavily frequented ones "Visible sides" of a house or a residential complex can be attached. Besides the higher probability that as a result, the waste container is used regularly mostly also at the front better access possibilities for the vehicles for emptying or to Removal of the containers. Closed containers reduce

also a possible odor nuisance. By the arrangement of the filling openings is a comfortable filling with large utilization of the filling space both with one individually standing containers as well as stacked containers possible. The closed structure of the container is also advantageous when the containers are stacked, as each container is the top one against rain, Can stand wind and accident-protected container. This results in emptying or removal the container poses no problems when putting together a new stack. For example, a top one can be here Stacking containers are removed weekly for emptying to a central location, during the The container below is only emptied every 14 days and during the time in which the upper container is to be emptied is on the way, is protected by its upper cover wall against harrowing, wind, etc. Another way of Emptying consists in that all the containers one after the other with a mobile crane in a collection vehicle with different Waste material chambers are emptied. Here can start with the top container of the stack and this next to the old stack as the bottom container to be reinstated. After the stack has been repositioned, the originally lower container is at the top Place and again protected against rain, wind, etc. With only one covered top container the containers would have to be put down and the stack rebuilt from below with the corresponding loss of time

will.

Pig. 4 shows an embodiment with vertical planes of symmetry that are perpendicular to one another.

Fig. 1 shows two stacked waste material collection containers 1 and 2. Both waste collection containers are cylindrical and each from a lower part and an upper part 5, 6 composed. The lower parts 3, 4 are in their cross-section W-shaped and the upper parts 5, 6 contain perpendicular side surfaces 7, 8 and the Cover walls 9, 10, each consisting of two inclined surfaces 11, 12 and the overlap surfaces 13, 14. On the inclined surfaces 11, 12 are on the upper waste material bin 1 three rectangular filling openings 15 and at the bottom Used material collection container 2 three round filling openings appropriate. The overlap areas 13, 14 are corresponding the bottom walls 19, 20 of the substructure are shaped in the same direction and are thus made up of two towards the middle formed above sloping surfaces, each one form common, longitudinally extending edge 17, 18. Close to the bottom walls of the lower parts 3 »4 laterally upward and outward sloping surfaces 21, 22, which with the side surfaces 7, 8 preferably are connected by welding so that the side surfaces 7 »8 vertically downwards over the attached Inclined surfaces 21, 22 protrude and form drip noses 23, 24. At the junctions between the

Side surfaces 7 »8 and the inclined surfaces 21, 22 is each a shaft 25, 26 indicated, on which emptying flaps are attached, which in detail in connection with Figs. 2 and 3 will be described.

The tops 5, 6 and the bottoms 3 »4- are preferred Edged in one piece from sheet metal, provided with flanges at their contact line and welded or riveted. The production of waste material collection containers 1, 2 is thereby inexpensive and the structure is stable thanks to the edges made in the sheet metal. The size of each container can be varied in that, with preferably the same lower part, the height of the side surfaces 7, 8 are different is chosen so that, as shown in Fig. 1, the lower waste container 2 by its higher side surface 8 has a larger filling volume than the waste container 1 placed above it. The volume of the upper one Waste material container 1 could also be kept smaller in that the container is made smaller overall and only the bottom wall 19 in its shape to the cover wall 10 is adapted. This results in a waste material collection container syst em that can be stacked and whose individual containers can have different filling volumes. the The size of the waste collection container can therefore reduce the accumulating The amount of waste and the emptying cycle must be adapted. For example, in FIG. 1, the upper container 1 must be intended for waste paper, which is produced in relatively large quantities, and the lower container for waste glass. Of the Waste paper collecting container 1 would be emptied relatively often in this case, so that although the amount of waste paper is relatively large, smaller than the waste glass collecting container 2 could be kept. The stack could at any time still, for example, a waste plastic collection container, a waste can collection container and can be expanded to include a relatively small waste oil collection container. A limit to the stack height is only by that Accessibility of the filling openings for the individual containers

Terland given by the required stability. Due to the stacking, the space required for the selective collection of waste materials is small, so that the stack of containers can also be set up at narrow driveways or forecourts. Through the articulated view of the stack the impression of "rubbish bins" is not given either, so that the waste material bins can be used if the color is appropriate are not perceived as visually disruptive.

The rectangular and elongated filling openings 15 of the upper waste material collecting container 1 are preferred intended for waste paper and especially for newspapers and magazines, while the rounds Filling openings 16 of the lower waste container 2 preferably for waste glass, especially for bottles. Only the upper filling openings, here filling openings 15 »of a stack are exposed to the weather, since the filling openings located further down in the stack are largely covered by the inclined surfaces 21 are. This could provide improved protection against the effects of the weather and against escaping odors that the filling openings are provided with flaps or rubber sleeves, the flaps also being lockable can be designed. Lockable flaps can be advantageous if there are options that playing children reach into the filling openings with their hands and deal with, for example, old glass can injure or that in the filling openings of paper containers burning objects, for example Cigarettes, if thrown, can set the contents on fire. Due to the arrangement of the filling openings The inclined surfaces 11, 12 make the container easy to fill up to a large fill level. A convenient filling is also achieved in that the lower part 3 of the lower waste material collecting container 2 is the inclined inward Has inclined surface 22. This becomes a free one

Foot space created for the person approaching the container, so that even heavier objects, for example Bundles of paper can be brought into the container without bending forward and therefore without great effort can.

When throwing hard objects, such as glass or plastic, into the waste collection container disturbing noises can occur. An improvement can be made here by at least that Lower part 3, 4 of a container is provided with a noise dampening pad. The lower parts of the waste collection container are preferably made of sheet metal for reasons of cost, since here in the Hegel those still to be described Emptying flaps can be easily attached with their operating mechanism. The tops 5, 6 can then be made of plastic, preferably without driving up the price of a container too much colored plastic.

In Fig. 1, the bottom walls 19, 20 and the cover surfaces 13, 14 of the two containers shaped in the same direction and each form the stack support surfaces. But it could also stack support points or stack support lines in the Be provided in the area of the cover surfaces. The bottom walls 19, 20 and the cover surfaces 13, 14 are curved upwards in the embodiment shown. The lower container 2 thus stands on the two edges 27 and 28 without tipping over on the floor. The upward bulge also helps align the container reached in the stack in the longitudinal direction. This is particularly advantageous if after emptying the individual Container the stack must be reassembled. This is usually done from a truck crane, which is advantageous when an upper container is placed on a lower container, even if it is not precisely aligned, the upper container on top of the bulged

Overlap area 14 uprutseht predetermined guide and is aligned in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the stability of the stack is increased. Another improved one Alignment of the individual stacking containers is opposite to a curvature in the form of an arc shown by the angular shape of the inclined surfaces 11, 12 achieved. Edges or beads in the longitudinal direction, here the edges 1? » 18, cause an alignment of the attached container in the vertical and further improve the stability of the entire stack. A centering in the longitudinal direction could also be done in that the front and rear areas of the cover surfaces are bent open accordingly, so that the cover walls 9, 10 a kind Form a trough into which the attached container slides with its bottom wall 19, which is shaped in the same direction. These However, embodiment can no longer only be achieved by edges of Metal sheets are manufactured. However, the higher costs in production could be due to the corresponding circumstances be weighed during transport or emptying.

In order to align and improve the stability of the stack, the bottom walls 19, 20 and the corresponding overlap areas 13, 14 according to be arched at the bottom. This has the advantage that a kind of gutter is created on the uppermost container, which the on these In the middle area, drainage of rainwater in the longitudinal direction and the penetration of this water into the upper Prevent filling openings 13 and that the room etching the container is improved because the curvature is downward

lies in the area of the filling openings and the containers are not filled up to this height in any case. At this Embodiment, however, a kind of bed must be created for the bottom container of a stack, in which the downward bulge fits, otherwise the bottom container will tip over. A corresponding anti-tipping device would then also have to be provided on vehicles that bring the containers to a central emptying point

should.

The waste material collection containers can also be provided with wheels on their lower part 3, 4, which make it possible to the individual containers or a whole stack, for example in narrow niches or on not through heavy vehicles to push drivable garden floor panels. The wheels can preferably be swivel castors, which are attached outside the edges 27, 28, so that the stackability of the containers is not impaired.

The cylindrical, elongated containers shown are particularly suitable for subdivision into individual ones Chambers, with each chamber then being assigned at least one filling opening 15, 16. In Fig. 2 is a cross section and FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal view of a waste material collecting container with three chambers.

In Fig. 2, the lower part 3 is folded horizontally on the outside and provided there with bearing blocks 29 for a shaft 25, wherein the shaft 25 still protrudes through the side surfaces 7 and is also supported here again. With the wave 25 Fixedly connected is a flap 30, which is adapted in shape to the lower part 3 and in the closed state the Volume of the individual chambers (Fig. 3) separates from each other. The shaft 25 is attached to the shaft 25 by means of a Operating lever 31 rotatable and thus the flap 30 can be folded out of the plane of the drawing and is open.

In Fig. 3, a waste collection container is preferred for collecting waste glass shown in three colors with three chambers. The individual chamber sizes can in turn be adapted to the average amount of waste glass in a certain color. The one to everyone

Filling openings belonging to the chamber are round again here Filling openings 16. A first chamber 32 is delimited through the rear wall 33 of the container, through a dividing

wall 34 and a flap 35 opening to the left · One second chamber 36 is to the right of the partition 3 ^ and the flap 35 and to the left of one further partition 37 and a flap 30 limited. Another chamber 38 is to the right of the Partition 37 and the flap 30 and to the left outside of the container through a further partition 39 and a discharge flap 40 is limited. The flaps 30, 35 »^ O are closed, so that their associated operating levers 3I lie under the nose 23 or 24 shown in FIG. 1 or 2. So these are operating levers withdrawn from direct sight and do not disturb the viewer. On the other hand, they seduce you by their hidden installation does not allow children or young people to tamper with it. In the area of the flap

30, the sheet metal of the upper part is shown broken away in FIG. 3, so that the shaft 25, the actuating lever 31 and its locking device 41 can be seen. When the flap 30 is closed, the actuating lever 31, which is conically shaped at its end, lies parallel to the sheet metal edge 42. The locking device 41 consists of a piece of pipe which is attached to the left and right in the direction of the sheet metal edge 42. In the position shown of the actuating lever y \ , the locking device 41 is moved to the left in order to lock the flap 30, the pipe section moving over the conical part of the actuating lever

31 pushes and wedges itself. To release the operating lever 31, the locking device 41 is moved to the right again. Preferably, this movement of the lock effected by striking with a hammer. For this purpose, an extension 42 is attached to the locking device 41, which extends downward protrudes over the sheet metal nose 23.

The container should now with closed flaps 30, 35 »40 for the collection of three types of waste glass, for example white, green and brown waste glass. The three types of waste glass are then

corresponding chambers 32, 36 »38 thrown in. After a or all chambers are filled or the container is emptied after predetermined time intervals. Come here again two possibilities are considered. One is that the container with a transport vehicle to one to drive to the central waste glass collection point and empty it there. The system concept also comes into play here Carry, as the containers can be stacked securely on the vehicle to make good use of space, even during transport meant to be. The other possibility is that the container is emptied directly on site, which means that this transport vehicle must contain different chambers or compartments for the different types of waste glass. The container must of course be emptied in such a way that the individual types of waste glass are transferred to different ones one after the other Places can be brought. For this purpose, in our exemplary embodiment, the container is on its right-hand side raised in the area of the rear wall and above the emptying point for the type of glass collected in the chamber 38 tilted. Then the stopper, which is assigned to the front flap 40 and is not shown, is knocked to the right, so that the actuating lever, not shown, of the flap 40 is released. By the load on the flap 40 The weight of the old glass is pressed to the left and the chamber 38 is emptied in the process. Afterward the container is swiveled to the emptying point for the type of waste glass collected in chamber 36 and the locking device 41 struck to the right. The flap 30 is pushed open and the chamber 36 through the chamber 38 emptied through. The procedure for emptying the third chamber 32 is similar. Then the The container is set down again and the locking device 42 is struck on the actuating lever 31. To secure the locking device in their closed position, eyelets can be attached to the stops and to the container wall, in which a padlock can be hung and locked. Overall, this results in a simple type of

Emptying and flap actuation. The shown type of The flap arrangement is particularly suitable for old materials that have a more granular structure and are therefore good Can be poured or rolled out of the container, such as waste glass or old cans. For fabrics that tend to get caught or matted, such as with waste paper or old clothes, the described flaps and emptying options from one chamber through the other chambers do not lead to a satisfactory result. This is where it will be beneficial larger flaps are used whose axes of rotation or shafts can also be vertical. With multi-chamber containers the partition walls can also be used as rails that slide in from above or from the side and run in guide rails. be trained over. In the case of vertically mounted shafts or dividing walls that can be pushed in from above, these are protected from unauthorized operation by the additional containers placed on top. The emptying flaps can also be attached to the underside of the container, since the flaps are also protected against unauthorized operation here are. However, this can lead to a greater design effort when creating the lower parts.

Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of two on top of each other set waste containers 1, 2 with a square base. Here are four side faces of the ones described above cylindrical design of a waste collection container put together at angles of 90 °. Kick it thus again the upwardly curved bottom surfaces 19 »20, the vertical side surfaces 7, 8, the inclined surfaces 11, 12 with their filling openings 15, 16 and the corresponding to the bottom walls 19, 20 formed cover surfaces 13 »14 on. The cover areas 13, 14 and the bottom walls 19, 20 are cones that fit into one another and can be placed one on top of the other, which ensure good centering and stability of a stack. These containers can also be subdivided into individual chambers

be, each of which is assigned a filling and emptying opening are. The individual containers can be of different heights or widths, with only the requirement must be fulfilled that the corresponding cones fit into each other and so the system is preserved. the Containers can with an arrangement of filling openings be placed on each side accessible from all sides. The visual impression of a rich structured tower, which is conveyed by a stack of containers, the stack of containers can be optically and architecturally fit well in outdoor areas. Another, particularly visually successful variant is created in that the Base areas of the embodiment according to FIG. 4 are chosen not square but circular. Through this A tower is created, consisting of cylinders and truncated cones, which can also be found in the appropriate color fits well into existing outdoor facilities and is not perceived as annoying.

The one above for the cylindrical waste collection container The statements made in FIGS. 1 to $ also apply to the two last-mentioned embodiments, in particular the information on the installation, the type of emptying, the emptying flaps, the transport options, the formation of the lower and upper parts, especially the curvature upwards or downwards, the formation the filling openings, the proportions and the attachment of wheels.

^ All shown embodiments have in common that the cover surfaces are the stacking support surfaces and the support is not only punctiform as with the Euro pallets he follows. This results in a two-dimensional force dissipation of the weight in the respective lower container or in the Floor reached over the entire stack support surface, so that stable and therefore expensive frame parts are largely omitted can.

Overall, a waste material collection container system that can be set up very flexibly and can be adapted to the respective requirements created that is suitable for the selective collection of waste materials in the household area.

Due to the confined space, on the flaps 30, 35 or 40 jammed waste material or the like. Can the Occur case that an operating lever 31 is difficult to pivot by hand and in particular not it is possible to attack this with tools such as an extension pipe; by the latter measure could a transfer of the actuating lever 31 into the horizontal end position shown in FIG. 3 if only because the locking device 41 with its extension 42 are in the way of a proper closing of the flaps 30, 35 and 40 and a locking of the actuating lever 31 on the stops 41 to ensure, is at the end of the shaft 25, expediently on both sides, one accessible for a tool Rotary handle 43 arranged, for example a polygon for rotation with a conventional wrench. In this way it is ensured that the locking of the actuating lever 31 on the associated locking devices 41 can be carried out under all circumstances with appropriate application of force if necessary.
