Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collecting container for fluorescent lamps.
  • the known fluorescent lamps are generally rod-shaped. They consist of glass and metal and are coated on the inside with mercury and filled with a gas. Since they have a limited lifespan, they must be removed after the lifespan has expired. There is an end here, especially because of the mercury coating located inside the fluorescent lamp care problems. Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal that evaporates in considerable proportions even at normal ambient temperature. For this reason, it is desirable that fluorescent lamps are collected separately from normal waste and sent for processing. Glass, metal and mercury are then recovered in this treatment. In order to be able to supply the fluorescent lamps for processing, it is necessary that the tubular or tubular fluorescent lamps are delivered undamaged and dry.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container for fluorescent lamps, in which they can be collected so that they remain undamaged and dry both when inserted and during transport.
  • the collecting container should be of simple construction and its dimensions should not only be adapted to the fluorescent lamps to be collected, but also to the means of transport available.
  • the collecting container consists of an elongated sheet metal box, the top of which has a first lid that can be opened about a horizontal pivot axis running parallel to the longitudinal direction and an overlap on one of the end faces lying transversely to the longitudinal direction has the entire inner cross section extending second cover.
  • Hanging devices are arranged in the area of the box top and the inner bottom surface of the container is provided with a floor covering made of a soft material.
  • Foam or foam rubber for example, can be used as the soft material.
  • the new collection container can be constructed as a stable sheet metal construction and its outer dimensions can be adapted so that it offers optimal transport options and optimal collection options.
  • the outer dimensions can be chosen so that the ratio of length to width is approximately 4: 1, and the transport container is thus adapted to conventional transport pallets in such a way that the width corresponds to half a pallet and the length corresponds to two pallets.
  • the container can be designed so that it is easily stackable.
  • the length of the collecting container is expediently dimensioned such that the length of the interior is adapted to the maximum usual length of a fluorescent lamp of 2000 mm.
  • the two lids provided are used for filling and emptying the collecting container, and the provided hanging device is used for receiving and transporting the collecting container by means of a lifting device, for example a crane.
  • the second cover arranged on one end side can expediently be opened around a vertical axis and at least this second cover, which is primarily intended for emptying, can be designed to be lockable.
  • the first hinged lid is advantageously provided with a safety device against accidental.
  • the covers are provided with seals against the ingress of water, it then being expedient to provide ventilation openings in at least one of the side walls of the collecting container so that air can enter the collecting container in the event of the implosion of a fluorescent lamp.
  • the collecting container preferably has baseboards on the two longitudinal edges, in which receiving openings for lifting tools, for example the fork of a fork lift truck or a hand pallet truck, are provided in alignment with one another.
  • the collecting container for fluorescent lamps is designed as an elongated box 1 in a stable sheet metal construction.
  • the box 1 can be closed by means of a cover 2, which is connected to the box 1 by means of hinges 2.1, in such a way that it extends around a parallel to the longitudinal direction Swivel axis can be opened by about 95 o .
  • the cover 2 In the closed state, the cover 2 can be locked by a lock 2.2.
  • a second cover 3 which is connected to the box 1 via hinge joints 3.1 such that it can be opened about a vertical axis.
  • This cover can also be locked in the closed state via a lock 3.2.
  • the second cover 3 is arranged in the end face so that it is inserted into the container and does not protrude beyond the outer wall of the container.
  • suspension devices are arranged, which are designed as angled tabs and can serve to accommodate the connecting elements of a crane. Furthermore, the angular design of the receiving tabs 4 around the corners of the box 1 ensures a particularly favorable and stable stacking option.
  • the inner bottom surface of the box 1 is covered with a floor covering 5 made of foam or foam rubber, so that the fluorescent lamps inserted into the collecting container are not destroyed during transport.
  • This safety device is designed as a pivotable latch 6 which, as can be seen from FIG. 2, moves from a rest position shown in solid lines to a dash-dotted line Locking position can be pivoted, in which he engages behind the hanging tab 4 and thus prevents the cover 2 from closing.
  • the first cover 2 is provided with a sealing device against the ingress of water.
  • the upper edge of the box 1 has a circumferential sealing edge 7.1, while the cover 2 has an outer edge strip 7.2 on its edge.
  • the dimensioning is such that when the cover is closed, the edge strip 7.2 encompasses the sealing edge 7.1 and thus creates a seal in the manner of a labyrinth seal.
  • ventilation slots 8 are provided in the end wall opposite the second cover 3. Furthermore, the box is provided on its two lower longitudinal edges with baseboards 9, in which, on the one hand, openings 9.1 are provided in alignment with one another for receiving the fork of a fork lift and, on the other hand, a support 9.2 for a lifting truck.
