DE9403056U1 - Closure construction on garbage containers for household waste - Google Patents

Description

Description

The invention relates to a locking structure on garbage containers for household waste. These containers are made available to the polluters by the waste disposal companies for the purpose of sorting different types of waste.

In the future, waste disposal companies are increasingly planning to bill the polluter for the waste generated based on its weight. The majority of waste containers are left unlocked and accessible to everyone.

This situation is used generously to dump garbage in other people's containers. If payment is made by weight, this practice would financially damage the person responsible for the container, so the requirement for it to be lockable exists.

According to the current state of technology, we are not yet aware of any lockable waste containers for household waste.

The invention is based on the object of creating a locking device that can be subsequently attached without additional work on the garbage container and without damaging it, and that secures it against unwanted use.

The closure structure on garbage containers for household waste, in which the above-mentioned task is solved, is characterized in that the attachable closure structure closes the garbage container (1) by fixing the lid handle(s) (4) and container edge (2) without damaging the entire container (1) with a snap closure with lock security (6), whereby the complete closure structure (5) is not removed when opening and closing the lid (3) and can be used as a handle at the same time.

The closure construction (5) according to the invention uses the existing lid handle(s) (4) and the container edge (2) as fixed points. The original shape of the garbage container (1) is retained without damage. A snap fastener with lock (6) ensures that the garbage container lid (3) is securely and firmly supported. Lifting of possibly unstable lids (3) at the corners is prevented.

When opening and closing the garbage container lid (3), the locking structure (5) is not removed and cannot fall down. It serves as a replacement lid handle. This type of locking can be adapted to the different garbage container types on the market by changing the dimensions while retaining the principle. The locking structure (5) prevents the garbage container (1) from being used unintentionally.

There are now various possibilities for further developing and designing the closure construction (5) according to the invention on garbage containers (1) for household waste, for which reference is initially made to claim 1 and the claims subordinate to it.

In the following, an embodiment is explained in conjunction with the description using drawings.

Figure 1: Front view of the garbage bin base area
and garbage can lid.

Figure 2: Top view of Figure 1.

Figures 1 and 2 show the type and position of the locking structure (5). The garbage container (1) is locked. A stable, round, rotating connecting rod (7) with bent-up ends grips under the two handles (4) of the garbage container lid (3). The connecting rod (7) is fixed to the lower locking tab (8) in a fixed manner. The latter is equipped with a rigidly attached eye as a lock anchor (10) with a hole for locking the lock (6) and a swivel joint (9) for connection to the upper locking tab (11). A slotted hole in the

The upper part of the locking tab (11) allows the lock anchor (10) to be penetrated and thus the parallel position of the lower part (8) and upper part (11) up to the height of the rotating connecting rod (7).

Further on, the upper locking tab (11) is bent several times and its end grips under the edge of the lower part of the waste container (2).

To open the garbage container lid (3), the lock is removed or opened. By grabbing the locking structure (5) in the area of the swivel joint (9) and lifting the lower and upper locking tabs (8,11) together, with the round connecting rod (7) located in the lid handles (4) serving as the pivot point, the parallelism between the upper and lower parts is lost during the lifting process and the end of the upper locking tab (11) detaches from the edge of the garbage container lower part (2). The entire garbage container (1) can be opened completely, with the locking structure (5) being used as a handle.

Claims (3)

Expectations 1.) Closure structure on garbage containers for household waste, which are made available to the polluters by the disposal companies for various types of waste, characterized in that the attachable closure structure (5) closes the garbage container (1) by fixing the lid handle(s) (4) and container edge (2) without damaging the entire container (1) with a snap closure with lock security (6), whereby the complete closure structure (5) is not removed when opening and closing the lid (3) and can simultaneously be used as a handle. 2.) Closure construction according to claim 1, characterized in that , while maintaining the closure principle, different types of garbage containers (1) can be closed by changing the dimensions. 3.) Closure construction according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that unstable garbage container lids (3) cannot be lifted even at the corners due to the three-point mounting.
