Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic waste container for household waste disposal, with a wall enclosed interior, which can be used in two separate chambers with the help of a vertical (seen in the standing state of the waste container) in the interior, reaching to the bottom of the interior partition is divisible, and which is provided with a holding device with which the partition is removably held within the interior, an upper holding element belonging to the holding device holding the upper edge of the partition and in the lower holding element the lower edge of the partition.
  • Garbage containers made of plastic, which are provided with partitions are known (see, for example, DE-OS 35 31 554 or DE-GM 89 02 941).
  • the abovementioned documents explain the advantages of multi-chamber waste containers.
  • the partition is inserted into projections on the inside of the container, the projections acting like rails onto which a partition compatible with the edge can be pushed.
  • the known waste containers provided with a partition wall have the disadvantage that the waste containers must already be equipped with certain devices in order to be able to accommodate the partition walls. It
  • it is known that the conversion of the products in plastics requires considerable tooling costs, so that costs are incurred for the production of the multi-chamber waste containers, which are less required per se, which make such waste containers more expensive.
  • numerous garbage bins are available through retirement, which could be converted to a multi-chamber system if an inexpensive option were offered for this.
  • a garbage container is therefore created in which the partition is not attached to rails of the inner wall or to a screwed-in pin on its lower edge, but rather in which the upper edge of the partition is attached to the wall by means of at least one connecting device which is removably attached to the upper edge of the interior of the refuse container is fixed and in which the lower edge is held in holding parts which at least encompass the edge parts of the partition lying in the region of the wall.
  • the partition itself consists of a relatively stiff plastic sheet, which does not bulge appreciably even under greater loads and is also held against the tendency to bulge by the connecting devices and holding parts. Jumping out of the rail-like holding parts is not to be feared.
  • the garbage container can also be "disassembled" again, in other words, the partition can be removed and the single-chamber arrangement can be restored.
  • the adjusting rail can be placed in different positions, so that different chamber divisions are possible in a simple manner.
  • the adjusting rail is preferably equipped with an upward-pointing groove, so that the partition can be firmly and clearly inserted into this groove.
  • the adjusting rail is provided with pins or similar connecting devices which engage in compatible devices at the lower edge of the partition.
  • an adjusting rail which consists of an intersecting arrangement of two rail parts. It is also not excluded that the intersecting legs of the arrangement are adjustable, so that there is the possibility of producing chambers of different sizes with different arrangement of the partition.
  • the adjusting rail or the adjusting rail arrangement is preferably clamped lying on the floor of the interior between one or two walls. It is proposed that the ends of the adjusting rails to be clamped are provided with heads which are enlarged compared to the cross-section of the adjusting rails, so that there is a perfect clamping even under high stresses using the plastic elasticity.
  • adjusting rail arrangement with a centrally arranged, flat base part, from which the rail parts spread out in the form of arms. Such an arrangement ensures a high stability of the rail arrangement.
  • the rail-like holding parts can also consist of rail profile elements which protrude from the floor of the interior and are inserted into compatible grooves which are embedded in the region of the lower edge of the partition.
  • the protruding rail profile elements are preferably formed from two profile sections which are at right angles to one another and are bridged by a stiffening element.
  • the connecting device is a claw or tab, from which part of the edge of the partition is overlapped.
  • the connecting device can be made from a stop plate exist on which a holding shoe, preferably in one piece, is attached.
  • This holding shoe is preferably designed as a claw that engages around a part of the upper edge of the partition.
  • the connecting device can be clipped or screwed onto the edge of the container, whereby it is ensured that the attachment and removal is possible in a simple manner.
  • waste containers are usually provided with a lid. It is possible to use a single or multi-part swivel cover.
  • the invention also extends to a compilation (an ensemble) consisting of a partition, connecting device (s) and rail arrangement with which an existing waste container can be converted into a two-chamber container.
  • the waste container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a customary, colored waste container made of plastic, for example made of PVC.
  • the waste container has an interior 15 enclosed by a wall 10, which tapers somewhat conically downwards.
  • the floor has a special contour due to the accommodation of wheels 7.
  • the wall consists of two side walls 9, 9 'and a front and rear wall 8 and 8'.
  • the interior 15 can be divided into two separate chambers 3, 3 'with the aid of a partition 2, 2' which is vertical when the waste container is in a standing state.
  • the partition is made of an approximately 5 mm thick PVC plastic plate and has an approximately exact rectangular shape.
  • the partition 2 is inserted with its lower edge into a groove 13 of an adjusting rail arrangement 11 which has the shape of a cross, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the central region of the adjusting rail arrangement 11 is occupied by a flat base part 14, from which the rail parts 12, 12 'spread out in the form of arms.
  • the rails end outward in heads 25, each of which is adapted to the shape of the wall against which they are clamped.
  • the base part can also be screwed or glued to the positioning rail arrangement; however, this is generally not necessary, since the partition wall inserted into the groove 13 is attached in the upper area and thus ensures a fixing of the adjusting rail arrangement 11.
  • the partition 2 ends at the top at an upper edge, which comes to lie below the cover and in alignment with the upper edge of the wall 10. At the corners of the partition 2, two web parts are worked out opposite, which are thinned compared to the wall thickness of the other partition. At this point, the connecting devices 4 are attached, which are shown in detail in FIG. 3.
  • a connecting device 4 consists of a stop plate 16, to which a holding shoe 18 is connected in a T-shape.
  • the stop plate 10 is also provided with an overlapping web 26 which is pushed over the upper edge of the wall 10.
  • the stop plate 16 has two holding pins 17.
  • the holding pins 17 snap into corresponding bores 23, which are incorporated either as perforations or as depressions in the wall 10 just below the upper edge.
  • the holding shoe 18 forms a claw which is pushed onto the web part 19.
  • the web part 19 is also provided with a locking lug 20, over which a claw wall 22 slides, which is provided with an opening 21.
  • the nose 20 engages and forms an immovable plastic snap connection between the partition 2 and the connecting device 4.
  • a partition 2 ' is shown, which is transverse to the pivoting direction of the lid.
  • a groove 27 is provided in the lower part of the partition in order to take into account the corresponding curvature of the bottom 6 of the waste container 1, as can be clearly seen from FIG. 2, right side.
  • This groove can also be preformed in a complete partition with predetermined breaking points provided for both types of attachment.
  • the parts required for the conversion can be easily made from plastic.
  • the parts can also be removed from the refuse container without great difficulty for the person skilled in the art, so that an undivided refuse container is available again if necessary.
  • the waste bin is provided with a one-piece lid.
  • a multi-part cover is also provided in accordance with the chamber division.
  • FIG. 4 a partition is shown similar to the left side of FIG. 1, which is intended for a waste container 1.
  • the garbage container has an interior 15 enclosed by a wall 10, which tapers approximately conically downwards (cf. FIG. 1).
  • the interior 15 of the refuse container 1 can be divided into two separate chambers 3, 3 'with the aid of a partition 102 which is vertical when the refuse container is in a standing state.
  • the partition is made of an approximately 4 mm PVC plastic plate and has an approximately rectangular shape.
  • the partition 102 is provided on its lower edge with grooves 103 and (on the opposite side) 104.
  • Rail profile elements 106, 107 and 108 are inserted into the grooves 103 and 104 from below.
  • the rail profile elements consist of two profile sections 110, 111 which are at right angles to one another and a stiffening element spanning them. Due to the relatively high (approx. 5 - 15 cm) protruding rail profile elements, a torsion-resistant, ie, even with slight bulging of the partition, this non-releasing attachment of the lower edge is given.
  • a connecting device is provided on the upper edge, which consists of a double rail 114 and two T-shaped extension pieces 115, which are connected to the edge of the garbage can. Appropriate shaping of the upper edge 116 of the partition 102 allows the holder 114 to be attached and fastened.
  • a circumferential rubber seal 117 is placed around the partition 102 as a sealing strip, so that a hermetic separation of the two chambers is hereby ensured.
