Abstract

A trash pail for installation in a cabinet having a swingable door, the cross section of the upper opening of the pail being closed by a lid which is fastened to one cabinet wall bearing the door hinges and which is moved into the open position upon the opening movement of the door which is coupled with a support for the trash pail. The support, upon the opening of the door, displaces the trash pail out of the cabinet below the lid, which remains within the cabinet. The support is formed as an angle member having arms. Within the angular space of the arms a non-circular corner part of the wall of the trash pail at an upper edge rim of the trash pail is complementarily form-lockingly removably suspended over the upper end edge of the arms of the angle member.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abfalleimer zum Einbau in einen mit aufklappbarer Türe ausgestatteten Schrank, wobei der obere Öffnungsquerschnitt des Eimers durch einen Deckel verschlossen ist, der an der einen die Türscharniere tragenden Schrankwand befestigt ist und welcher in die Offenstellung gesteuert ist bei der Öffnungsbewegung der Türe, die mit einem Träger für den Abfalleimer gekuppelt ist, welcher Träger den Abfalleimer beim Öffnen der Türe unter dem im Schrank verbleibenden Deckel schrankauswärts verlagert.The invention relates to a waste bin for installation in a cupboard equipped with a hinged door, the upper opening cross section of the bucket being closed by a cover which is fastened to the cupboard wall carrying the door hinges and which is controlled into the open position during the opening movement of the door, which is coupled to a carrier for the waste bin, which carrier moves the waste bin when opening the door under the lid remaining in the cabinet out of the cabinet.

Eine derartige Ausgestaltung ist aus dem DE-GM 7 911 693 bekannt, wobei der Träger als den Abfalleimer aufnehmender Außeneimer ausgebildet ist. Der Herstellungsaufwand ist relativ hoch. Ferner ragt der Außeneimer bei geöffneter Türe störend in den Zugangsbereich des Schrankes, was ein Reinigen des hinter dem Eimer liegenden Bereiches des Schrankes erschwert und diesen auch ungeeignet macht zur Unterbringung von Utensilien.Such an embodiment is known from DE-GM 7 911 693, the carrier being designed as an outer bin receiving the waste bin. The manufacturing effort is relatively high. Furthermore, when the door is open, the outer bucket protrudes into the access area of the cabinet, which makes it difficult to clean the area of the cabinet behind the bucket and also makes it unsuitable for storing utensils.

Dem Gegenstand der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Abfalleimer zum Einbau in eine mit aufklappbarer Türe ausgestatteten Schrank der in Rede stehenden Art so auszugestalten, daß trotz einer sicheren Festlegung des Abfalleimers am Träger dieser bei geöffneter Türe weitgehend den Zugang zum Schrankinnenraum nicht versperrt. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß der Träger als vertikal verlaufendes Winkelprofil ausgebildet ist, in dessen Winkelinnenraum sich ein Teilabschnitt der Mantelfläche des Abfalleimers abstützt.The object of the invention is based on the object of designing a waste bin for installation in a cabinet of the type in question equipped with a hinged door in such a way that, despite a secure fixing of the waste bin on the carrier, said door largely does not block access to the interior of the cabinet when the door is open. This object is achieved in that the carrier is designed as a vertically running angular profile, in the inner corner of which a portion of the lateral surface of the waste bin is supported.

Zufolge derartiger Ausgestaltung ist ein gattungsgemäßer Abfalleimer von erhöhtem Gebrauchswert angegeben. Einerseits bringt die Ausbildung des Trägers als Winkelprofil Gewichtseinsparungen, so daß der Schrank selbst weniger belastet wird. Die entsprechende Materialeinsparung läßt es sodann zu, den Abfalleimer kostensparender herzustellen und feilzubieten. Andererseits ist die sichere Festlegung des Abfalleimers gegeben. Er findet eine gute Abstützung am Winkelprofil und kann nicht ungewollt aus der eingesetzten Lage gelangen. Sodann ist ein weiterer Vorteil darin zu sehen, daß bei geöffneter Türe und entferntem Abfalleimer der Schrankinnenraum sehr gut zugänglich ist. Er kann bequem gereinigt werden. Auch bringt die gute Zugänglichkeit die Möglichkeit, den bei geschlossener Türe hinter dem Abfalleimer liegenden Bereich zur Unterbringung von Utensilien auszunutzen. Im übrigen kann bei entsprechender Ausbildung des Winkelprofils der Abfalleimer beliebigen Grundriß aufweisen.As a result of such a configuration, a generic waste bin of increased utility value is specified. On the one hand, the design of the support as an angle profile saves weight, so that the cabinet itself is less loaded. The corresponding material savings then allow the waste bin to be manufactured and sold more cost-effectively. On the other hand, the waste bin is fixed securely. It is well supported on the angle profile and cannot accidentally get out of the position used. Then another advantage is to be seen in the fact that the interior of the cabinet is very accessible when the door is open and the waste bin is removed. It can be cleaned easily. The good accessibility also means that the area behind the waste bin when the door is closed can be used to store utensils. Otherwise, the waste bin can have any floor plan if the angle profile is designed accordingly.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung besteht darin, daß der Rand des Abfalleimers über die obere Stirnkante des Winkelprofils formschlüssig gehängt ist. Das Einsetzen des Abfalleimers geschieht demzufolge von oben her. In der Endphase der Einsteckbewegung wird dann der Formschluß zwischen Rand des Abfalleimers und oberer Stirnkante des Winkelprofils erzeugt. Das bedeutet, daß, im Grundriß gesehen, der Rand des Abfalleimers und Stirnkante des Winkelprofils gleichen Verlauf besitzen. In diesem Formschluß verbleibt der Abfalleimer zufolge seines Eigengewichts. Durch Beschickung des Abfalleimers verstärkt sich sogar noch dieser Formschluß.An advantageous further development is that the edge of the waste bin is positively hung over the upper end edge of the angle profile. The waste bin is therefore inserted from above. In the final phase of the insertion movement, the positive connection between the edge of the waste bin and the upper end edge of the angle profile is then generated. This means that, seen in the floor plan, the edge of the waste bin and the front edge of the angle profile have the same course. The garbage can remains in this form fit due to its own weight. By loading the waste bin, this form fit is reinforced.

Hohe Belastungen können schadfrei aufgenommen werden, wenn sich der Boden des Abfalleimers auf einer unteren dem Winkelraum entsprechenden Platte des Trägers abstützt. Gleichzeitig bringt diese Platte noch eine Stabilisierung der Schenkel des nach oben hin offenen Winkelprofils.High loads can be absorbed without damage if the bottom of the waste bin is supported on a lower plate of the carrier corresponding to the angular space. At the same time brings this Plate still a stabilization of the legs of the upwardly open angle profile.

Die Festlegung des Abfalleimers in der eingesetzten Lage kann noch dadurch verbessert sein, daß ein formschlüssiger Eingriff zwischen Unterseite des Eimerbodens und der Platte vorgesehen wird. Bspw. kann zu diesem Zweck die Platte eine aufwärts gerichtete Erhöhung ausbilden, die einen entsprechenden Kragen an der Unterseite des Eimerbodens hintergreift.The setting of the waste bin in the position used can be further improved in that a positive engagement between the underside of the bucket bottom and the plate is provided. E.g. For this purpose, the plate can form an upward elevation which engages behind a corresponding collar on the underside of the bottom of the bucket.

Sodann erweist es sich als günstig, daß der oberen Stirnkante des Winkelprofils ein Steuernocken benachbart ist, der beim Ausschwenken des Winkelprofils den Rand des um eine waagerechte Achse an der Schrankinnenwand anscharnierten Deckels unterläuft. Die Anordnung des Nockens kann nahe des Anlenkpunktes des Winkelprofils erfolgen, so daß das Winkelprofil räumlich klein gestaltet sein kann. Trotzdem wird der um die waagerechte Achse an der Schrankinnenwand anscharnierte Deckel um einen relativ großen Winkel beim Öffnen der Türe angehoben.Then it turns out to be favorable that the upper end edge of the angle profile is adjacent to a control cam which, when the angle profile is swiveled out, undermines the edge of the lid hinged to the inside wall of the cabinet about a horizontal axis. The cam can be arranged near the articulation point of the angle profile, so that the angle profile can be made spatially small. Nevertheless, the lid hinged to the inside wall of the cabinet is raised by a relatively large angle when the door is opened.

Von Vorteil erweist es sich ferner, daß der im Grundriß länglich gestaltete Abfalleimer mit seiner längeren Erstreckungsachse parallel zur Türe verläuft. Hierdurch ist eine bessere Ausnutzung des Schrankinnenraums möglich, insbesondere bei Spülschränken mit zentral liegendem Spülbeckenabfluß.It also proves advantageous that the trash can, which is elongated in plan, runs parallel to the door with its longer axis of extension. This enables better use of the interior of the cabinet, in particular in the case of cabinets with a centrally located sink drain.

Eine Stabilisierung erhält das Winkelprofil noch dadurch, daß es am oberen und unteren Ende je einen zum Winkelraum abgekehrt ausladenden Kragen besitzt, von denen der obere den Steuernocken und der untere mit einer Schlitz/Zapfenverbindung die Kupplung zur Türe bildet. Demgemäß erfüllen die Kragen zusätzliche Funktionen.The angle profile is also stabilized by the fact that at the upper and lower ends it has a collar which extends away from the angle space, the upper of which forms the control cam and the lower forms the coupling to the door with a slot / pin connection. Accordingly, the collars perform additional functions.

Stabilisierend wirkt sich ferner die Tatsache aus, daß zumindest der Scheitel des Winkelraumes gerundet verläuft. Es ist im übrigen ein solcher Verlauf der Schenkel in Querschnittsrichtung zu wählen, der der Form des Abfalleimers angepaßt ist.The fact that at least the apex of the angular space is rounded also has a stabilizing effect. Incidentally, it is a to choose such course of the legs in the cross-sectional direction, which is adapted to the shape of the trash can.

Darüber hinaus wird noch eine Stabilisierung dadurch erreicht, daß die Randkanten der Schenkel in Richtung auf die Mantelfläche des Abfalleimers abgewinkelte Leisten ausbilden. Diese können gleichzeitig zur Abstützung des Abfalleimers herangezogen werden.In addition, stabilization is achieved in that the marginal edges of the legs form angled strips in the direction of the lateral surface of the waste bin. These can also be used to support the waste bin.

Schließlich besteht ein vorteilhaftes Merkmal noch darin, daß die Leisten des Winkelprofils sich nach unten hin verbreitern.Finally, an advantageous feature is that the strips of the angle profile widen downwards.

Der einen Abfalleimer 1 aufnehmende Schrank 2 besitzt einen Schrankboden 3, Schrankseitenwände 4, 5, eine Schrankrückwand 6, eine eine Arbeitsplatte 7 bildende Schrankdecke und eine darunter befindliche Blende 8. Der nicht durch die Blende 8 abgedeckte Zugangsquerschnitt ist mittels einer Türe 9 verschließbar. Letztere lagert an Scharnieren S der Schrankwand 4.The cupboard 2 accommodating a waste bin 1 has a cupboard base 3, cupboard side walls 4, 5, a cupboard rear wall 6, a cupboard ceiling forming a worktop 7 and a panel 8 located underneath. The access cross-section not covered by the panel 8 can be closed by means of a door 9. The latter is mounted on hinges S of the wall unit 4.

An der Innenfläche der Schrankwand 4 ist nahe unterhalb der Blende 8 eine horizontal ausgerichtete Leiste 10 befestigt, die an rechtwinklig zur Schrankwand 4 liegenden Laschen 11 einen um eine horizontale Achse 12 schwenkbaren Deckel 13 trägt. Dessen abgewinkelt verlaufender Deckelrand 131 wirkt zusammen mit einem Steuernocken :14, der von einem den Träger des Abfalleimers 1 bildenden Winkelprofil 15 ausgeht. Im einzelnen setzt sich das Winkelprofil 15 aus zwei vertikal gerichteten Schenkeln 16 und 17 zusammen, deren sie verbindender Scheitel 18 gerundet verläuft. Auf diese Weise wird ein etwa dreieckförmiger Winkelraum erzeugt, der der beim Ausführungsbeispiel der rechteckigen Querschnittsform des Abfalleimers 1 angepaßt ist. Dieser wird so dem Winkelprofil 15 zugeordnet, daß seine längere Erstreckungsachse parallel zur Türe 9 verläuft, siehe insbesondere Fig. 2.On the inner surface of the cabinet wall 4, a horizontally oriented strip 10 is fastened close below the panel 8, which carries a cover 13 which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 12 on brackets 11 lying at right angles to the cabinet wall 4. Its angled lid edge 13 1 works together with a control cam: 14, which starts from an angle profile 15 forming the carrier of the waste bin 1. Specifically, the angle profile 15 is composed of two vertically directed legs 16 and 17, the apex 18 connecting them is rounded. In this way, an approximately triangular angular space is generated which is adapted to the rectangular cross-sectional shape of the waste bin 1 in the exemplary embodiment. This is assigned to the angle profile 15 such that its longer extension axis runs parallel to the door 9, see in particular FIG. 2.

Das Winkelprofil 15 weist an seinem oberen und unteren Ende je einen zum Winkelraum abgekehrt ausladenden Kragen 19, 20 auf. Der Scheitel des oberen Kragens 19 wird durchsetzt von einem Lagerzapfen 21, der in eine Lasche 22 der Leiste 10 eingreift. In unmittelbarer Nähe des Lagerzapfens 21 erstreckt sich ein am Kragen 19 festgelegter und diesen überragender Steuernocken 14, der bei in Öffnungsstellung befindlicher Türe 9 den Deckel 13 um einen bestimmten Winkelbetrag in Aufwärtsrichtung verschwenkt hat.At its upper and lower ends, the angle profile 15 has a collar 19, 20, which extends away from the angle space. The apex of the upper collar 19 is penetrated by a journal 21 which engages in a tab 22 of the strip 10. Extending in the immediate vicinity of the bearing journal 21 is a control cam 14 which is fixed to the collar 19 and projects above it and which, when the door 9 is in the open position, has pivoted the cover 13 by a certain angular amount in the upward direction.

Der untere Kragen 20 ist ebenfalls Träger eines Lagerzapfens 23. Beide Lagerzapfen 21, 23 liegen fluchtend auf einer Achse. Der untere Lagerzapfen 23 sitzt drehbar in einer an der Schrankwand 4 angeschraubten Lagerlasche 24.The lower collar 20 is also the carrier of a journal 23. Both journals 21, 23 are aligned on one axis. The lower bearing pin 23 is rotatably seated in a bearing bracket 24 screwed to the cabinet wall 4.

Die Schenkel 16, 17 des Winkelprofils 15 überragen den oberen Kragen 19 um ein gewisses Maß. Diese überstehende Stirnkante 25 greift in eine am oberen Rand des Abfalleimers 1 vorgesehene Nut 26 formschlüssig ein unter Fixierung der eingehängten Lage des Abfalleimers 1. In der eingehängten Stellung desselben stützt sich dessen Boden 1' mit einem Kragen 1" auf einer unteren dem Winkelraum entsprechenden Platte 27 ab. Letztere erstreckt sich etwas oberhalb des unteren Kragens 20, ist mit den Schenkeln 16, 17 verbunden und ist zur besseren Fixierung des unteren Bereiches des Abfalleimers mit einer auswärts gerichteten Rippe 27' ausgerüstet, die den Kragen 1" hintergreift. Selbst wenn die Rippe 27' fehlen sollte, ist noch die ausreichende Abstützung des eingesetzten Abfalleimers 1 gewährleistet, und zwar dadurch, daß der Abfalleimer sich mit einem Teilabschnitt seiner Mantelfläche am Winkelprofilabstützt. Hierzu dienen insbesondere abgewinkelte Leisten 28, die von den Randkanten der Schenkel 16, 17 des Winkelprofils 15 ausgehen. Die entsprechenden Leisten 28 verbreitern sich nach unten hin, entsprechend dem konischen Verlauf des Abfalleimers 1.The legs 16, 17 of the angle profile 15 project beyond the upper collar 19 to a certain extent. This protruding end edge 25 engages in a groove 26 provided on the upper edge of the waste bin 1 in a form-fitting manner while fixing the suspended position of the waste bin 1. In the suspended position thereof, the base 1 'thereof is supported by a collar 1 "on a lower plate corresponding to the angular space 27. The latter extends somewhat above the lower collar 20, is connected to the legs 16, 17 and, for better fixing of the lower region of the waste bin, is equipped with an outwardly directed rib 27 'which engages behind the collar 1 ". Even if the rib 27 'is missing, adequate support of the waste bin 1 used is still ensured, namely in that the waste bin is supported with a partial section of its lateral surface on the angle profile. Angled strips 28, which extend from the marginal edges of the legs 16, 17 of the angle profile 15, serve in particular for this purpose. The corresponding strips 28 widen downward in accordance with the conical shape of the waste bin 1.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist erwähnt, daß der Abfalleimer 1 dem Winkelprofil 15 hängend zugeordnet wird dadurch, daß sein Rand in Formschluß zur Stirnkante des Winkelprofils 15 tritt. Es wäre jedoch auch möglich, die Leisten 28 und den Eimer im entsprechenden Winkelbereich so auszugestalten, daß ein Formschluß zwischen diesen Leisten und dem Eimer erzeugt wird.In the exemplary embodiment, it is mentioned that the waste bin 1 is assigned to the angle profile 15 in a hanging manner in that its edge is in positive engagement with the end edge of the angle profile 15. However, it would also be possible to design the strips 28 and the bucket in the corresponding angular range in such a way that a positive fit is produced between these strips and the bucket.

Damit beim Öffnen der Türe 9 das Winkelprofil 15 mit dem von ihm getragenen Abfalleimer 1 schrankauswärts verlagert wird, ist ein Kupplungseingriff zwischen Türe 9 und Winkelprofil 15 vorgesehen. Zu diesem Zweck enthält der untere Kragen 20 in seinem der Türe 9 benachbarten Winkelschenkel einen bogenförmig verlaufenden Schlitz 29. In letzteren greift ein Zapfen 30 ein, der an einer Winkellasche 31 der Türe 9 befestigt ist.So that when the door 9 is opened, the angle profile 15 with the waste bin 1 carried by it is moved out of the cabinet, a coupling engagement between the door 9 and the angle profile 15 is provided. For this purpose, the lower collar 20 contains an arcuate slot 29 in its angle leg adjacent to the door 9. A pin 30 engages in the latter, which is fastened to an angle bracket 31 of the door 9.

Beim Öffnen der Türe 9 wird demzufolge das Winkelprofil 15 schrankauswärts verschwenkt, wobei der Abfalleimer 1 in die von außen zugängliche Lage gelangt. Bei diesem Verschwenken des Winkelprofils 15 beaufschlagt der Steuernocken 14 den Deckelrand 131, und der Deckel 13 verschwenkt um seine horizontale Achse 12 in Aufwärtsrichtung in die Offenstellung. Er stützt sich in dieser auf dem Steuernocken 14 ab. Es ist möglich, den Deckel weiter in Aufwärtsrichtung zu verlagern zufolge des Deckel-Leergangs. Wird die Türe 9 geschlossen, so verschwenkt zwangsläufig das Winkelprofil 15 schrankeinwärts, wobei sein Steuernocken 14 sich vom Deckelrand 131 entfernt und demgemäß das Schließen des Deckels zufolge Schwerkraft erlaubt.When the door 9 is opened, the angle section 15 is consequently pivoted out of the cabinet, the waste bin 1 reaching the position accessible from the outside. During this pivoting of the angle profile 15, the control cam 14 acts on the lid edge 13 1 , and the lid 13 pivots about its horizontal axis 12 in the upward direction into the open position. It is supported in this on the control cam 14. It is possible to move the cover further upwards due to the empty cover. If the door 9 is closed, the angle profile 15 inevitably pivots inward, its control cam 14 moving away from the edge of the cover 13 1 and accordingly allowing the cover to be closed due to gravity.

Um das gleiche Winkelprofil 15 sowohl rechts als auch links anschlagen zu können, besitzt auch der andere Schenkel des Kragens 20 einen entsprechenden bogenförmigen Schlitz 291. In diesen würde dann der Mitnehmerzapfen 30 eingreifen. Ebenfalls wäre der Steuernocken 14 dem anderen Schenkel des winkelförmig gestalteten Kragens 19 zuzuordnen.In order to be able to strike the same angle profile 15 both on the right and on the left, the other leg of the collar 20 also has a corresponding arcuate slot 29 1 . The driver pin 30 would then engage in this. The control cam 14 would also be assigned to the other leg of the angularly shaped collar 19.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist dargestellt, daß der Abfalleimer 1 einen rechteckigen Grundriß besitzt. Er könnte jedoch auch kreisförmig gestaltet sein. Ferner ist eine ovale Querschnittsform möglich. Nach der entsprechenden Form des Eimers ist die Kehle des Winkelprofils zu gestalten.In the embodiment, it is shown that the waste bin 1 has a rectangular outline. However, it could also be circular. An oval cross-sectional shape is also possible. The throat of the angle profile must be designed according to the appropriate shape of the bucket.

Alle in der Beschreibung erwähnten und in der Zeichnung dargestellten neuen Merkmale sind erfindungswesentlich, auch soweit sie in den Ansprüchen nicht ausdrücklich beansprucht sind.All the new features mentioned in the description and shown in the drawing are essential to the invention, even if they are not expressly claimed in the claims.
