Definitions
- the invention relates to a pedal bin with lid comprising a container section, a jacket section hingedly connected to the lid and with which the pedal bin normally stands on the ground, and a lever in the form of a pedal provided near the bottom of the jacket section, on the operation of which the container section is moved upwards while the lid is simultaneously opened round its hinges.
- the object of the invention is to provide a pedal bin as mentioned in the opening paragraph without the said disadvantages.
- this object is achieved in that the lid has hinged over an angle larger than 90° the pedal has been fully pressed and in that the lid is provided on the hinged side with a lug and the container section is provided near its upper rim with a projection, which projection extends above the lug when the container section is in its highest position, such that the lid is closed when the container section is lowered.
- the projection on the container section may have the form of a lip.
- a plurality of lugs may be provided on the hinged side of the lid, and on the container section several lips, which extend above the lugs of the lid when the container section is in its highest position.
- the lid is connected to the jacket section preferably by means of two hinges.
- the lips on the container section and the lugs on the lid are preferably provided between the hinges.
- the container section is provided, on the hinged side of the lid, with one or more lugs resting, with the lid in completely opened position, on the edge of the lid at the hinge and causing the lid to topple into its closed position when the container section is lowered.
- the jacket section of the pedal bin is provided on the hinged side of the lid with a stop for the opened lid. This stop constitutes the limit to which the lid can be opened beyond 90°.
- the lever provided in the jacket section in the form of a pedal is integrated in the bottom of the jacket and the operating portion of the pedal is provided partly in the bottom of the jacket. To this end, at the place where the pedal is provided, the container wall slants inwards.
- 1 serves to indicate a pedal bin comprising a jacket section 2 with an oval or cylindrical shape and a flat back, a lid 3 and, placed in the jacket section, a container 4 with a shape corresponding with that of jacket section 2.
- a pedal 5 is provided to operate lid 3.
- Pedal 5 consists of upper surface, of which portion a is provided under the bottom of the container and a portion b serves to operate the pedal.
- the flat portion is provided at the bottom with two ribs c and d, the free end of rib c of which is the pivoting point for the pedal.
- Fig. 3 shows that container rim 7 is situated against a lug 8 provided on the hinged side of lid 3. Lid 3 is connected with hinges 9 to jacket 2.
- a film hinge is understood to mean a flat strip consisting of two parts interconnected by a thinner portion, round which thinner portion the said parts can bend in respect of each other.
- Jacket 2 is provided at its top near hinges 9 with a stop 10 for lid 3.
- Lug 8 on lid 3 is provided with a projection 11. With lid 3 completely opened (see fig. 4), this projection 11 is situated under a lip 12 provided on the outside of container 4. This lip 12 is provided at the top of a V or trapezium-shaped groove 13 of container 4.
- container 4 is provided on the hinged side of lid 3 with one or more lugs 13. With lid 3 completely opened (see fig. 9), these lugs 13 rest, at hinges 9, on edge 14 of the lid.
- jacket 2 is provided on the hinged side of lid 3 with a stop 15 for supporting the completely opened lid.
- pedal 5 is integrated in the bottom of jacket section 2.
- operating portion b of pedal 5 is provided partly in the bottom of jacket 2.
- container 4 has a wall portion 16 at pedal 5 slanting downwards and inwards.
- the pedal bin according to the invention works as follows.
- FIGS 1 and 2 show that the lid is in closed position.
- portion a By pressing down portion b of pedal 5, portion a is moved up round the pivoting point of rib c of the pedal arm, which works as a lever.
- This portion a is provided, as stated earlier, under bottom 6 of container 4.
- rim 7 of container 4 causes lid 3 to be tilted round hinges 9, because rim 7 rests against lug 8 of lid 3.
- pedal 5 is pushed further, lid 3 is opened over more than 90°.
- This tilting movement of lid 3 is limited by stop 10.
- lip 12 on the container freely passes lip 11 on lid 3.
- lip 12 With lid 3 completely opened, lip 12 is situated above lip 11.
- container 4 is lowered and lip 12 strikes against lip 11 and lid 3 topples into its closed position round hinges 9.
- container 4 is moved up by the pedal also, with rim 7 of the container pushing against lug 8 of lid 3.
- Lid 3 is opened over more than 90°, as shown in fig. 9.
- the opened lid 3 rests against stop 15.
- lug 13, provided on the container rests on edge 14 of lid 3 (see fig. 9).
- container 4 is lowered, in which process lug 13, which rests on edge 14 of the lid, causes the lid to topple into its closed position. This restores the situation as shown in fig. 7.
- the simple pressing of the pedal suffices to open the lid over more than 90°, so that proper access is had to the container for the deposit of waste, and by releasing the pedal the lid will close automatically without any further manual operation being required.
