DESCRIPTION

The present industrial utility model patent relates to a garbage can and associated device for gripping, blocking and releasing the same

- 2 emptying into the collecting box of a vehicle,

At present, various devices for gripping and releasing garbage cans on the part of the collection vehicle used along the roads. These Ordinary devices are all based on the principle the use of forks or similar means .. designed to engage with approaches that are general are provided on the sides of the container, which entails the need for the vehicle to stand properly next to the container itself, which due to the application

possible
sness / obstacles is not always possible.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a container and associated device for gripping. Block and To create free, which makes it possible to lift the container itself, without the position of the vehicle intended for collection Restrict to Overly Constricted Areas.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide a container with a special lid that can be used by the user a simple waste disposal allows and at the same time the This garbage can be emptied into the vehicle's collection box without the need for mechanical means to open the lid are necessary during the emptying phase, as with conventional ones Containers that are exposed to contamination and thus jamming and wear.

These and other purposes of the invention are the specialist

will be clearly apparent from the following description and claims.

The garbage container is of the box-shaped construction type

The end face facing the street provides a channel in the shape of an inverted V, the gripping and releasing means, which are assigned to the lifting truck of the collecting vehicle, from an element also having an inverted V-shape with ® essentially the angle opening corresponding to the channel mentioned, which for this purpose is intended to come into engagement with this channel and to οίοι ckieren it during the tilting process of the container, the lid of this latter consists of two parts, one for introducing the garbage and the other for opening by gravity during the tilting and emptying phase is determined.

The invention is shown in the accompanying figures, only as an example, shown schematically; show it:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the container;

2 shows a front view of the gripping device assigned to the lifting truck of the vehicle intended for collection or pick-up;

Fig. 3 shows a section along the line HI-III (enlarged) of Fig. 1;

6 shows the blocking means for holding the container in place while it is being tipped.

With reference to the cited figures, there is the Container - generally designated 1 - from a substantially parailel flat box body. On the street Zug-Wendten Front side 3 of the container 1 is a channel / the shape of a f.'sngekehjrten V with a curvilinear front lip 5. On the Channel 4, two blocking elements 6 each provided with a flat and horizontal surface 7 are provided, with each other the axes 8 de "elements 6 cross at 90 ° at point 9.

The lid of the container 1 (Figures 4 and 5) consists of a first element 10, which is opposite to the face of the container to face 3, i.e. to the street side, and that in 11, on the apex of a second element 12, can be opened is, the latter in 13, on the upper edge of the container of the dsr end face 3 opposite face, namely the street side is foldable.

The gripping element (Fig. 2) consists of a rod 14 in the shape of an inverted V, one being the same as the angle of the channel 4 Angle is formed, which rod is carried by a conventional lift truck 15, which is for sliding in the specified Direction is controlled along guides 16, these guides form part of the collection truck, not shown.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 6, each

Guide 16 has a cam profile 17, which is intended with | in 19, on the side of the carriage, articulated locking pawls 18 |

to work together. Each pawl 18 has a cam following RoI- j

Ie 20 and a return spring 21. i

In operation, the collecting trolley stands on the side of the container 1 and the trolley 15 is operated in a conventional manner (see other patents by the same applicant) brought into the vicinity of this I container, so that the gripping element 14 with the channel 4 '

i is engaged. Thanks to the particular V-shape of both the channel 4 and the element 14, and thanks to the front lip 5 of the same channel, even if the vehicle is not correctly positioned, the stroke of the carriage 15 will result in self-centering of the element 14 with respect to reach the channel 4 with consequent proper gripping of the container 1. It should be pointed out that the front lip 5 helps to ensure that it is gripped, even in the event that the element 14 should not be sufficiently close to the channel 4.

In the initial phase of the stroke of the carriage 15, the pawls will remain arranged vertically (lower part of Figure 6) by the engagement of the cam follower roller 20 with a flat profile in the cam 17. As the stroke continues, the cam follower roller 20 leave the cam 17 (ob - part of FIG. 6) by returning the spring 21, the corresponding pawl 18 in inclined position is brought so that the evening and horizontal Surface 7 of the blocking elements 6 is affected.

If one sees the 90 ° arrangement of the axes 8 of the elements 6, so the two pawls 18 alone will suffice, the detachment of the element 14 from the channel 4, during the tilting process of the container_1 for emptying its contents into the vehicle's collection box.

The cover consisting of two elements 10 and 12 is particularly advantageous in that it allows the user to insert the garbage (Fig. 4) while remaining on the sidewalk and, at the same time, it allows the element 12 to be opened by simple gravity during the tilting of the container (FIG. 5) and thus closes the conventional, mechanical opening devices, currently in use and subject to wear and tear and maintenance.
