Definitions
- the invention relates to a fire protection device for containers, more particularly for waste containers, provided with a pivoting cover for closing the filling opening of the container.
- Containers with filling opening and pivoting cover are known for closing the filling opening where the cover is held in the open position by a rod or a pump placed between the cover and the container.
- a fire protection device which comprises mainly a rod whose lower end is pivotally mounted around a pivot provided in the container and whose upper end is intended to keep the lid of the container open, a movable means mounted on the inner wall of the lid and intended to maintain the upper end of the rod and to maintain in the open position the cover, an element mounted on the inner wall of the cover and intended to push the movable means on the rod, and a fusible lead provided in said element and which melts in in the event of high heat, as a result of which the element releases the movable means from the rod and the lid of the container snaps shut.
- the rod 1 is provided between the container 2 and the cover 3 of the container to maintain the cover in the open position, so that waste can easily be thrown into the container through the filling opening 4
- the lower end of the rod 1 is pivotally mounted around a pivot 5 fixed in the container, so that the rod can rotate in the container to close the lid 3.
- the 'upper end of the rod 1 rests in a hollow 6 of one of the members 7 of an L-shaped rocker arm 8 which is fixed on a ring 9.
- This ring is mounted on a ball bearing fixed on a pivot 10 fixed on the cover and around which the rocker arm 8 can tilt.
- the member 7 of the rocker arm 8 is provided with a finger 11, to which a tension spring 12 is fixed, which is fixed on the other hand to a pin 13 fixed on the cover. This spring exerts a traction force on the rocker arm 8.
- the other member 14 of the rocker arm is provided with an eyelet 15, to which a traction rod 16 composed of two parts is fixed, between which a fusible lead 17 is placed, which melts in case of heat release.
- the other end of the draw rod passes through a support 18 and is provided with a thread, on which is screwed a wing nut 19 serving to tension the draw rod.
- a hood 20 In order to protect the fusible lead 17 slightly against dirt, a hood 20, the two ends of which are open, is mounted above the fusible lead.
- the fusible lead 17 melts when a strong heat is created, as a result of which the draw rod 16 is released and the draw spring 12 makes pivot the rocker arm 8 around the pivot 10. As a result, the rocker arm 8 is moved away from the rod 1, so that the latter pivots around the pivot 5 and falls down, as does the cover 3, which thereby closes the filling opening 4. As a result, the air supply inside the container is cut off, so that finally the fire in the container will be extinguished. After that, a new fusible lead 17 is placed, so that the container is again ready for use.
- the container is also provided, in one of its side walls with a pivoting door opening 21 for emptying the container.
- This door which is pivotable upwards, has at the bottom and along the two lateral edges a locking pin 22 above which a clasp 23 takes.
- the two clasps are fixed on the ends of a pivot 24 mounted d 'swivel in the container.
- This pivot is provided with a stand 25, to which one end of a tension spring 26 and the other end is coupled to a tension rod 27.
- This tension rod rests in a support 28 fixed in the container, which pull rod can be pulled by a tension nut 29 for adjusting the pull force of the pull spring 26, which pushes the clasps 23 on the locking pins 22 to keep the door 21 in the closed position. To open this door, simply lift the clasps 23.
- the container is also provided with two hollow beams 30, in which the forks of a forklift adapt for transporting the container.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection anti-incendie pour conteneurs, plus spécialement pour les conteneurs de déchets, pourvus d'un couvercle pivotant pour la fermeture de l'ouverture de remplissage du conteneur.The invention relates to a fire protection device for containers, more particularly for waste containers, provided with a pivoting cover for closing the filling opening of the container.
On connaît des conteneurs à ouverture de remplissage et à couvercle pivotant pour la fermeture de l'ouverture de remplissage où le couvercle est maintenu en position ouverte par une tige ou une pompe placée entre le couvercle et le conteneur.Containers with filling opening and pivoting cover are known for closing the filling opening where the cover is held in the open position by a rod or a pump placed between the cover and the container.
Lorsque dans de tels conteneurs des déchets échauffés ou brûlants sont jetés, par suite de la position ouverte du couvercle et de l'adduction d'air dans le conteneur tout le contenu de celui-ci s'enflamme.When heated or hot waste is thrown into such containers, owing to the open position of the lid and the supply of air into the container, the entire contents of the latter ignite.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, suivant la principale caractéristique de l'invention, un dispositif de protection anti-incendie a été mis au point, qui comprend principalement une tige dont l'extrémité inférieure est montée de manière pivotante autour d'un pivot prévu dans le conteneur et dont l'extrémité supérieure est destinée à maintenir ouvert le couvercle du conteneur, un moyen déplaçable monté sur la paroi intérieure du couvercle et destiné à maintenir l'extrémité supérieure de la tige et à maintenir en position ouverte le couvercle, un élément monté sur la paroi intérieure du couvercle et destiné à pousser le moyen déplaçable sur la tige, et un plomb fusible prévu dans ledit élément et qui fond en cas de forte chaleur, par suite de quoi l'élément libère le moyen déplaçable de la tige et le couvercle du conteneur se ferme d'un coup sec.To overcome this drawback, according to the main characteristic of the invention, a fire protection device has been developed, which comprises mainly a rod whose lower end is pivotally mounted around a pivot provided in the container and whose upper end is intended to keep the lid of the container open, a movable means mounted on the inner wall of the lid and intended to maintain the upper end of the rod and to maintain in the open position the cover, an element mounted on the inner wall of the cover and intended to push the movable means on the rod, and a fusible lead provided in said element and which melts in in the event of high heat, as a result of which the element releases the movable means from the rod and the lid of the container snaps shut.
Du fait de la fermeture du couvercle, l'adduction d'air dans le conteneur est coupée, de sorte que le feu s'éteint et qu'un sinistre subséquent est prévenu.By closing the lid, the air supply to the container is cut off, so that the fire goes out and a subsequent disaster is prevented.
A titre d'exemple, sans aucun caractère limitatif, suit ci-dessous une description plus détaillée d'une forme choisie de réalisation du dispositif de protection anti-incendie pour conteneurs conforme à l'invention. Cette description renvoie aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :
- la fig. 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un conteneur à couvercle ouvert pourvu du dispositif de protection anti-incendie ;
- la fig. 2 représente une vue en perspective du conteneur fermé ;
- la fig. 3 représente le dispositif de protection anti-incendie monté sur la paroi intérieure du couvercle du conteneur ;
- la fig. 4 représente le mécanisme de verrouillage pour le verrouillage de la porte de l'ouverture pour le vidage du conteneur, avec une paroi latérale du conteneur partiellement enlevée.
- fig. 1 shows a perspective view of an open lid container provided with the fire protection device;
- fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the closed container;
- fig. 3 shows the fire protection device mounted on the inner wall of the container cover;
- fig. 4 shows the locking mechanism for locking the door of the opening for emptying the container, with a side wall of the container partially removed.
Dans ces figures, on remarque que la tige 1 est prévue entre le conteneur 2 et le couvercle 3 du conteneur pour maintenir le couvercle dans la position ouverte, de sorte que des déchets peuvent jetés sans peine dans le conteneur par l'ouverture de remplissage 4. L'extrémité inférieure de la tige 1 est montée d'une manière pivotante autour d'un pivot 5 fixé dans le conteneur, de sorte que la tige peut tourner dans le conteneur pour fermer le couvercle 3. Pour maintenir le couvercle ouvert, l'extrémité supérieure de la tige 1 repose dans un creux 6 d'un des membres 7 d'un culbuteur 8 en forme de L qui est fixé sur un anneau 9. Cet anneau est monté sur un roulement à billes fixé sur un pivot 10 fixé sur le couvercle et autour duquel le culbuteur 8 peut basculer. Le membre 7 du culbuteur 8 est pourvu d'un doigt 11, auquel un ressort de traction 12 est fixé, qui est fixé d'autre part à une cheville 13 fixée sur le couvercle. Ce ressort exerce une force de traction sur le culbuteur 8. L'autre membre 14 du culbuteur est pourvu d'un oeillet 15, auquel une tige de traction 16 composée de deux parties est fixée, entre lesquelles un plomb fusible 17 est placé, lequel fond en cas de dégagement de grande chaleur. L'autre extrémité de la tige de traction passe à travers un support 18 et est pourvu d'un filetage, sur lequel est vissé un écrou à ailettes 19 servant à tendre la tige de traction. Afin de protéger tant soit peu le plomb fusible 17 contre les saletés, une hotte 20, dont les deux extrémités sont ouvertes, est montée au-dessus du plomb fusible.In these figures, it is noted that the
Lorsque des déchets échauffés ou enflammés sont jetés dans le conteneur, le plomb fusible 17 fond en cas de création d'une forte chaleur, par suite de quoi la tige de traction 16 est libérée et le ressort de traction 12 fait pivoter le culbuteur 8 autour du pivot 10. De ce fait, le culbuteur 8 est éloigné de la tige 1, de sorte que celle-ci pivote autour du pivot 5 et tombe vers le bas, de même que le couvercle 3, qui de ce fait ferme l'ouverture de remplissage 4. De ce fait, l'adduction d'air à l'intérieur du conteneur est coupée, de sorte que pour finir le feu dans le conteneur sera éteint. Après cela, on place un nouveau plomb fusible 17, de sorte que le conteneur est de nouveau prêt à l'emploi.When heated or ignited waste is thrown into the container, the
Le conteneur est également pourvu, dans une de ses parois latérales d'une ouverture à porte pivotante 21 pour le vidage du conteneur. Cette porte, qui est pivotante vers le haut, possède en bas et le long des deux bords latéraux une cheville de verrouillage 22 au-dessus de laquelle prend un fermoir 23. Les deux fermoirs font fixés sur les extrémités d'un pivot 24 monté d'une manière pivotante dans le conteneur. Ce pivot est pourvu d'une béquille 25, à laquelle une extrémité d'un ressort de traction 26 et l'autre extrémité est accouplée à une tige de traction 27. Cette tige de traction repose dans un support 28 fixé dans le conteneur, laquelle tige de traction peut être tirée par un écrou tendeur 29 pour le réglage de la force de traction du ressort de traction 26, qui pousse les fermoirs 23 sur les chevilles de verrouillage 22 pour maintenir la porte 21 en position fermée. Pour ouvrir cette porte, il suffit de soulever les fermoirs 23.The container is also provided, in one of its side walls with a pivoting door opening 21 for emptying the container. This door, which is pivotable upwards, has at the bottom and along the two lateral edges a
En bas, le conteneur est encore pourvu de deux poutres creuses 30, dans lesquelles s'adaptent les fourches d'un chariot élévateur pour le transport du conteneur.Below, the container is also provided with two
Il va de soi que la forme, les dimension et les positions mutuelles des pièces détachées décrites ci-dessus peuvent varier, à condition de rester dans le cadre de l'invention, et que certaines des pièces détachées décrites ci-dessus peuvent être remplacées par d'autres qui visent au même but.It goes without saying that the shape, the dimensions and the mutual positions of the spare parts described above may vary, provided that they remain within the scope of the invention, and that some of the spare parts described above can be replaced by others which have the same purpose.
