In a dustbin opener with, supported on the ground between the running wheel (4) and the dustbin (1), a support plate (5) with welded-on flat bar (7) and a guide (8), and with, suspended laterally in the handle (16) of the dustbin (1) and mounted in an articulated manner, a foot-operated double-arm lever mechanism for a lifting rod (11), which is mounted in an articulated manner, with a plate (12), which is fastened in an articulated manner and bent in a U-shaped manner, for lifting the lid, there is welded on to the U-shaped support plate (5) with the feet (6) a flat bar (7) and articulated movably on the support plate (5) a double-armed lever arm (9), the longer end of the lever arm (9) being formed by twisting about 90 DEG into a foot pedal (10), and a lifting rod (11), which is guided in the guide (8), being articulated movably on the shorter end of the lever arm (9). In this connection, there is articulated movably on the upper end of the lifting rod (11) a plate (12) which is bent twice in a U-shaped manner and in which the lid arm (3) lies. Instead of the support plate (5), a flat bar (14) can also be provided, on the upper end of which a hook (15) is arranged, which is suspended in the handle (16) on the rear side of the dustbin (1). At the lower end of the flat bar (14), the double-armed lever arm (9) is again movably articulated. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mülltonnenöffner mit einem, zwischen dem Laufrad und der Mülltonne, sich auf dem Boden abstützenden, Stützblech mit angeschweißtem Flacheisen und einer Führung, sowie mit einem seitlich im Handgriff der Mülltonne hängenden, gelenkig gelagerten, fußbetätigtem Doppelarm-Hebelmechanismus für einen gelenkig gelagerten Hebestab mit einem gelenkig befestigten, U-förmig gebogenen Blech zum Heben des Deckels der Mülltonne.The invention relates to a garbage can opener, with a support plate with welded flat iron and a guide, which is supported on the floor between the impeller and the garbage can, and with a hinged, foot-operated, double-lever lever mechanism for an articulated bearing that hangs in the handle of the garbage can Lifting rod with an articulated, U-shaped sheet to lift the lid of the garbage can.

Aus den Dokumenten DE-PS 33 18 309, DE-PS 37 00 264, DE-PS 37 28 636 und DE-PS 37 28 637 sind derartige Mülltonnenöffner bereits bekannt.Such garbage can openers are already known from documents DE-PS 33 18 309, DE-PS 37 00 264, DE-PS 37 28 636 and DE-PS 37 28 637.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Mülltonnenöffner der eingangsgenannten Art zu schaffen, der im Vergleich zu den Erfindungen aus den vorgenannten Dokumenten einfacher, leichter, mit weniger Bauteilen und wirtschaftlicher herstellbar ist und der an handelsübliche Mülltonnen leicht und sicher eingehängt werden kann. Dabei sollen die Außenkannten der Mülltonne kaum überragt und das Gewicht nur 1900 g wiegen.The invention has for its object to provide a garbage can opener of the type mentioned, which is simpler, lighter, with fewer components and more economical to produce compared to the inventions from the aforementioned documents and which can be easily and safely attached to commercially available garbage cans. The outer edges of the garbage can should hardly be overlooked and the weight should only weigh 1900 g.

Der, in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellte, Mülltonnenöffner besteht aus einem U-förmigen Stützblech 5 mit zwei Füßen 6, an das ein Flacheisen 7 mit einer Führung angeschweißt ist. Am Stützblech 5 ist ein doppelarmiger Hebelarm 9 mit Fußpedal 10 beweglich angelenkt. Am kürzeren Ende des Hebelarmes 9 ist ein Hebestab 11 mit einer Arretierschraube 13 beweglich angelenkt, der in der Führung 8 geführt wird.The garbage can opener shown in Figures 1 to 3 consists of a U-shaped support plate 5 with two feet 6, to which a flat iron 7 is welded with a guide. A double-armed lever arm 9 with foot pedal 10 is articulated on the support plate 5. At the shorter end of the lever arm 9, a lifting rod 11 is articulated with a locking screw 13, which is guided in the guide 8.

Am oberen Ende des Hebelstabes 11 ist ein zweimal U-förmig gebogenes Blech 12 zum Heben des Deckels 2 der Mülltonne 1 beweglich angeordnet. Durch einfaches Hochheben des Deckels 2 wird der Deckelarm 3 beim Ablassen in das U-förmige Blech 12 gelegt.At the upper end of the lever bar 11, a sheet 12 bent twice in a U-shape is movably arranged for lifting the lid 2 of the garbage can 1. By simply lifting the cover 2, the cover arm 3 is placed in the U-shaped plate 12 when it is lowered.

Tritt man auf das Fußpedal 10 des Hebelarmes 9, der am Stützblech 5 gelenkig gelagert ist, wobei sich das Stützblech 5 zwischen der Mülltonne 1 und dem Laufrad 4 auf dem Boden abstützt, so wird der Hebestab 11 hochgedrückt. Der Hebestab 11 an dem das Blech 12 beweglich befestigt ist, drückt am Hebelarm 3 den Deckel 2 hoch. Der Öffnungswinkel kann über 70o sein.If you step on the foot pedal 10 of the lever arm 9, which is articulated on the support plate 5, the support plate 5 being supported on the floor between the garbage can 1 and the impeller 4, the lifting rod 11 is pushed up. The lifting bar 11, on which the sheet 12 is movably attached, presses the cover 2 up on the lever arm 3. The opening angle can be over 70 o .

Der Mülltonnenöffner befindet sich üblicherweise zwischen der Mülltonne 1 und dem Laufrad 4 auf dem Boden stehend und wird nur zum Entleeren der Mülltonne durch einfaches Hochheben des Deckels 2 und dem Wegnehmen des Öffners entfernt.The garbage can opener is usually between the garbage can 1 and the impeller 4 standing on the floor and is only removed to empty the garbage can by simply lifting the lid 2 and removing the opener.

Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen einen, gegenüber der, in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten und zuvor beschriebenen, Einrichtung geringfügig geändert aufgebauten Mülltonnenöffner, der jedoch dieselben Vorteile besitzt, wie der zuvor beschriebene Mülltonnenöffner und auch in gleicher Weise montier- und bedienbar ist.FIGS. 4 and 5 show a garbage can opener with a slightly different design than the device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and described above, but which has the same advantages as the garbage can opener described above and can also be assembled and operated in the same way .

Dieser Mülltonnenöffner besteht dort im einzelnen aus einem Flacheisen 14, das am oberen Ende einen Haken 15 aufweist, der in den Handgriff 16 der Mülltonne 1 eingehängt ist. Hierbei wird das untere Ende des Flacheisens 14 so zwischen die Mülltonne 1 und das Laufrad 4 eingeschoben, daß die Laufradnabe als Widerlager dient. Am unteren Ende des Flacheisens 14 ist wiederum der doppelarmige Hebelarm 9 mit dem Fußpedal 10 beweglich angelenkt. Am kürzeren Ende des Hebelarmes 9 ist dann wider der Hebestab 11 mit der Arretierschraube 13 beweglich angelenkt, der in der Führung 8 geführt ist. Durch ein Hochheben des Deckels 2 wird der Deckelarm 3 beim Ablassen wiederum in das U-förmig gebogene Blech 12 gelegt.This garbage can opener there consists in detail of a flat iron 14, which has a hook 15 at the upper end, which is hooked into the handle 16 of the garbage can 1. Here, the lower end of the flat iron 14 is inserted between the garbage can 1 and the impeller 4, that the impeller hub serves as an abutment. At the lower end of the flat iron 14, the double-armed lever arm 9 is in turn articulated with the foot pedal 10. At the shorter end of the lever arm 9 is then articulated against the lifting rod 11 with the locking screw 13, which is guided in the guide 8. By lifting the cover 2, the cover arm 3 is again placed in the U-shaped sheet 12 when it is lowered.
