Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for picking up and taking away animal droppings located on the floor, consisting of two parts which have a raised edge and which complement one another to form a closed container and which by means of an articulated connection in the manner of a flap for bringing the container closed position towards and towards one another
  • the open position can be moved away from one another, the upstanding edge region opposite the articulated connection in the closed position having a scraper edge which removes the droppings from the floor and transports them into the container parts, grazing the transition from the open to the closed position.
  • a generic container is known from DE-GM 82 17 117, but it is disadvantageous that the closed position can only be brought about with both hands and the container must also be touched with one hand.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a generic container so that it can be handled easily, quickly and hygienically and the The closed position can be brought about with one hand without having to touch the container with one hand.
  • a holding and pull tab is provided separately from the container with a push-through opening for one or more fingers of the hand and that the holding and pull tab is used to bring about the closed position as between the legs of a handle which is separate from the container are designed to take in the pull tab which is pullable directly next to the articulated connection of the wall area of the container parts, at least one of the handle legs having an opening corresponding to the displacement path of the tab for inserting an actuating finger.
  • the container parts Due to their raised edge, the container parts have a design comparable to a shell. Due to the flap-like design of the container according to the invention, the shape and function of which is comparable to that of an excavator gripper, this can be used several times by the animal owner, so that in each case only a single container copy has to be carried by the animal owner.
  • the flap design together with the scraping edge formed on the upstanding edge of the container parts makes the use of an additional aid, e.g. B. a shovel, completely unnecessary.
  • a lock can be provided to fix the container closed position and a spring to push the container parts away from one another to bring about the open position after releasing the lock.
  • the container thus opens automatically after releasing the locking device. After the ends of the container parts opposite the articulated connection have been placed against the floor, they can be moved towards one another by hand, overcoming the spring force.
  • the above-mentioned scraping edges of the container parts sweep across the floor, taking the manure with them, which is accommodated in the container in this way after reaching the closed position. If a scraping edge is mentioned in this context, then this is to be understood as meaning a formation at the edge of the upstanding edge of the container parts which enables the above-described mode of operation.
  • the container according to the invention or its two parts can be formed by folding a single flat material part, the cut of which corresponds to the container parts and the elements fixing them in the folded position and on which the folding or bending lines for generating the upstanding edge of the container parts and their articulated connection are pre-formed.
  • the material part which by punching from a flat sheet of material, for. B. cardboard, is available, all folding and bending lines are pre-formed by appropriate embossing or material weakening, so that the animal owner can easily produce the container from the flat material part itself. Consequently, the idea of the invention is embodied not only by the container, but also by the material part that can be used for its production, which is tailored to the container design.
  • Such a material part encompassed by the invention also enables space-saving storage both at the manufacturer and dealer as well as at the end user, who has several of these parts in a stacked package can be offered. This is an essential factor for the commercial distribution of the container according to the invention.
  • the container containing the droppings is usually sent to general waste, it proves to be expedient to manufacture the container from a decomposable material, preferably cardboard, which also takes additional account of the environmental protection concept.
  • the container is formed by the two parts 1, 2 connected to one another via the joint 6 '.
  • the formation of the joint will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.
  • the parts 1, 2 have the upstanding edge parts 3 ′′, 4 ′′ and 5 ′′, which are connected to one another by a plug connection described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.
  • Scraper edges 17, 18 are formed on the edge part 4 ′′ of the two container parts, by means of which faeces located on the floor can be removed from the floor and into which container parts designed in the shape of a bowl due to their raised edge can be conveyed.
  • the container parts must be brought from the open to the closed position.
  • the pull and hold tab shown in Fig. 5 is provided as an actuator, the function of which will be described in more detail below.
  • the exemplary embodiment of a container according to the invention shown in the drawing can be obtained from the material part shown in FIG. 4 by punching from a material web preferably made of cardboard.
  • the flaps and flap through-slots required for the manufacture of the container by folding as well as the folding and bending lines are formed at the same time. These lines are appropriately created by embossing the material.
  • the bending line 6 ' Extending across the material part is the bending line 6 ', which after the assembly of the container mediates the articulated connection of the container parts 1, 2. If you compare the shape of the container in the closed position with that of a roof, the articulated connection extends over the Firstline.
  • a slot 10 is provided through which, after the container has been folded, the T-shaped grip tab 11 shown in FIG. 5 is inserted in such a way that its crossbar 11' comes to lie inside the container .
  • the crossbar 11 ' has a slit-shaped opening 11' 'for the insertion of the leaf spring 7, the ends of which abut against the wall parts formed by the sections 12 after the assembly of the container.
  • the slot is expediently so narrow that the leaf spring can be clamped in it in such a way that it cannot move or twist out of the position relevant to its function.
  • the folding lines 3 ', 4', 5 ' provided that serve to form the upstanding edge on the container parts 1, 2 from the sections 3 ", 4" and 5 "of the material part.
  • the aforementioned sections are bent at right angles to the sections 12 delimited by the folding lines 3 ', 4', 5 'and the bending line 6', which form the base of the bowl-shaped container parts 1, 2 after the container has been folded up.
  • two lugs 4 ''' ' are provided, which can be bent at right angles to the sections 4' 'via fold lines 4' '' '.
  • the sections 4' '' With its outer end 4 '' '' ', which is narrower compared to the area immediately next to the fold line 4' '' ', the sections 4' '' serve as a tab for insertion into the sections 3 '' and 5 '' slots 3 '' 'and 5' '' respectively.
  • the sections 3 ′′, 4 ′′ and 5 ′′ are fixed in their position forming the upstanding edge 3, 4, 5 of the container parts 1, 2.
  • Another tab 3 '''' and 5 '''' is formed on the two sections 3 '' and 5 '', respectively, which belong to the area of the material part lying to the left of the central bending line 6 'in the drawing and after the bending of the sections 3 '' and 5 '' corresponds to the slots 13, 14 provided in the area to the right of the bending line 6 'within the folding lines 3' and 5 'in such a way that the tabs 3'''' and 5 '''' can be inserted into the slots 13, 14.
  • the tabs 3 '''' and 5 ''''' have a double function.
  • a comparatively short edge 3 ''''and5''''' of sections 3 '' and 5 '' runs from the tabs 3 '''', 5 '''' in the direction of the central bending line 6. It acts as a limitation for the movement of the container parts into the closed position, in which this edge abuts against the (closed) area of the folding lines 3 ', 5' which extends from the slots 13, 14 in the direction of the bending line 6 '.
  • edges 3 '''' and 5 ''''and of the slots 13 and 14 is chosen so that the upstanding edge regions formed on the folded container by the sections 4''overlap in the closed position just enough that a falling out of the droppings brought in the course of the closing movement into one or both of the container parts 1, 2 cannot fall out of the (closed) container.
  • the thickness of the material part is therefore expediently chosen so that, on the one hand, the folded-up container has sufficient dimensional rigidity, but on the other hand the material thickness in the region of the edges 17, 18 is so small that the scraping effect follows these edges of the manure is conveyed into the container parts 1, 2.
  • the outer edges of the sections 3 ′′, 5 ′′ are chamfered in such a way that after the container parts have been folded together, the height of the corresponding upstanding edge regions decreases toward the bending line 6 ′.
  • the container is handled by the interaction of the holding and pulling tab 11 (FIG. 5) with the handle 9 shown in FIG. 2.
  • This has two legs 9 ′, 9 ′′, between which the web having a round opening 19 is located 11 '' 'of the holding and pulling tab 11 can be inserted.
  • the web 11 '' 'of the tab 11 is pulled into the handle 9, which is why its legs have slot-shaped openings 9' '' for pushing the actuating finger through.
  • the handle legs 9', 9 '' see arrow A in Fig.
  • sections U-shaped incisions 20, 21 can be provided in the sections 12, by means of which small tabs can be bent from the Surface of the sections 12 are bent out.
  • the incisions 20, 21 are made in such a way that the tabs are offset from one another, ie are arranged on different sides of a center line running longitudinally through the stamped part. In this way, a lateral pivoting of the leaf spring 7 is avoided.
