Definitions
- the present invention concerns improvements in or relating to rubbish containers, especially but not exclusively wheeled rubbish bins for domestic and commercial use.
- a container assembly comprising a first rubbish container including a further container accommodated therein and rigidly affixed thereto to divide the first container into two or more compartments.
- the further.container conforms in its external peripheral shape to the internal peripheral shape of the first container on all but one of its sides which provides a partition separating the existing container into two or more compartments.
- volume of the additional container is equal to or greater than half the volume of the first container.
- the wall of the additional container forming said partition has strengthening ribs formed therein.
- both containers are formed from plastics material, by injection, rotational or blow moulding.
- the first container has a peripheral flange at its upper end and a lid hingedly attached thereto.
- the additional container has no flange at its upper end and has fixed to said side forming the partition at its upper end an additional member providing a flange extending along said partition and over the additional container, the flange projecting over the transverse edges of the additional container to provide means for fixing it to the flange of the first container.
- the flange member is formed from metal by a folding operation and is attached to the existing and additional containers by means of rivets.
- Alternative fixing means for example adhesive, can be employed.
- the additional container is attached to the first container at spaced points arounds it upper periphery by rivets or other fastening means.
- Seal means may be provided on the base and upstanding sides of the additional container especially in the region of said partition wall to seal any gap between the additional container and the first container.
- a container adapted for fixing within a first container of the type described in any one of the preceding eight paragraphs.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a first, existing domestic or commercial rubbish container 1 with its hinge lid removed.
- the container is wheeled and is commonly referred to as a two wheeled refuse container. It is formed by any suitable moulding technique from plastics material and comprises an essentially rectangular cross-section container having radiused corners with a base 10, upwardly diverging side walls 12 and an outwardly extending peripheral flange 14 surrounding its upper end.
- the rear wall 12, at its upper end, is provided with hinge brackets 16 which serve also as handles for maneouvering the bin and at the lower end of the back wall 12 there is provided a rotatable wheel 18 on each side of the bin.
- the container so far described is of an existing design and includes other features but as they are already known and do not form part of the present invention they will not be described. They are, however, illustrated in the attached drawing.
- the object of the present invention is to divide the rubbish receiving volume of the existing bin into two by providing a transverse partition parallel to the hinge axis. This location is dictated by automatic bin emptying apparatus which can ensure that rubbish from one side of the partition is delivered to a transport container which is separate from that adapted to receive rubbish from the other side of the container. It is important that the partition divides the rubbish receiving volume into two fluid-tight volumes so that the contents of one compartment are not contaminated by the contents of the other.
- a partition wall 20 as one wall of a rectangular cross-section additional container 22 which is adapted to be neatly accommodated within the existing container with its wall 24 opposite the partition wall 20 abutting a corresponding wall 12 of the existing container and its other pair of opposed side walls 26 abutting the pair of opposed side walls 12 of the existing container.
- the additional plastics material container has a flat base 28 and is a rotational moulding, although any suitable moulding method, for example, injection or blow moulding could be employed.
- the existing container it is not provided with a peripheral flange but its height corresponds to the height of the existing container.
- the partition wall 20 is formed with downwardly diverging strengthening ribs 30 which extend almost to the top of the partition wall and have rounded upper ends 32.
- ribs 30 which extend almost to the top of the partition wall and have rounded upper ends 32.
- the additional container is fixed within the existing container along its three sides 24,26 by a plurality of spaced pop rivets 36 located just below the flange 14, as can be best seen from Figs. 1 and 4.
- Additional pop rivets 37 fix the additional container to the front wall of the existing container and its rear edge is restrained against movement relative to the existing container at the rear edge of its base by a 'L' shaped metal strip 56 fixed to the base 10 of the existing container by pop rivets 58 such that the upstanding limb of the strip abuts the partition wall 20 of the container at its junction with the base of the additional container.
- a flange component 40 which is fabricated by folding a sheet metal strip.
- Fig. 2 shows the cross-section of the flange which has a first upright member 42, a transversely extending member 44 forming a flange surface, a second upright 48 spaced from the first upright 42 by a distance which is equivalent to the wall thickness of the partition wall 20 and an inclined member 46 joining the upper end of the upright 48 with the end of the the flange member 44 remote from the upright member 42.
- Fig. 2 also shows that the flange member is attached to the upper end of the partition wall 20 by spaced pop rivets 50.
- the upright members 42, 48 and inclined member 46 of the flange component terminate at a distance spaced from the outer edge 52 of the flange member 44 by a distance which enables the outer portion of the flange member 44 to overlap the flange 14 of the existing container so that two further pop rivets 54 can be inserted.
- Fig. 4 shows that the outer portion of the member 44 is deformed downwardly such the its outer region abuts the upper surface of the flange 14 and it shows also that the pop rivets 54 are located close to the wall 12 of the existing container so that they do not interfere with mechcanical lifting arrangement for the rubbish container which may engage the underside of the flange.
- Fig. 4 also shows that the end 52 of the flange is located inwardly of the container lid 60 when in its closed position.
- each compartment could have 120 l capacity.
- a further additional container can be utilised to further sub-divide the existing container into more compartments.
- a further additional container can be utilised to further sub-divide the existing container into more compartments.
- the configuration of the additional container can take any convenient form and in certain instances it may be desirable to form the flange on the top of the partition wall integral with the container.
- sealant or seal strip may be omitted or replaced between the partition wall at its base and the upstanding limb of the strip 56.
- the strip may be modified and rather than extending across the entire width of the partition wall it can be replaced by one or more relatively short brackets.
