Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Müllbehälter mit einem Innenraum, dessen obere Öffnung durch einen Deckel verschließbar und durch mindestens eine senkrechte Trennwand in Einzelräume aufteilbar ist, gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a waste container with a Interior, the upper opening through a lid closable and by at least one vertical Partition can be divided into individual rooms, according to the generic term of claim 1.

Es ist bekannt, Mülltonnen und Müllgroßbehälter durch eine Trennwand in zwei Behälterhälften aufzuteilen, um unterschiedliche Müllarten getrennt voneinander zu sammeln. Hierzu ist es auch bereits bekannt, die Trennwand erst nach Herstellung des Müllbehälters einzufügen, so daß diese an den Innenwänden des Behälters lösbar gehalten ist. Derartige Müllbehälter sind z.B. aus der DE-A-3642734 und der FR-A-1225823 bekannt. So offenbart die DE-A-3642734 z.B. eine Zwischenwandkonstruktion mit Klappdeckeln, die in übliche Hausmülltonnen eingesetzt werden kann und mit einem Verbindungsorgan mit dem Boden der Hausmülltonne verbunden ist. Aus der FR-A-1225823 ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, separate Trennwände über Führungsnute sowie in Ausnehmungen einrastbare Zapfen in bestehende Behälter einzusetzen, um mehrere voneinander getrennte Behälterfächer zu erhalten.It is known to have garbage cans and large waste containers through a Divide the partition into two container halves to different types of waste separately collect. For this purpose, it is also already known, the partition insert only after manufacturing the waste container, so that these are releasably held on the inner walls of the container is. Such garbage containers are e.g. from the DE-A-3642734 and FR-A-1225823 are known. So revealed DE-A-3642734 e.g. a partition wall construction with Hinged lids that are used in normal household waste bins can be and with a connector to the ground the household waste bin is connected. From FR-A-1225823 is it is also known to have separate partitions Guide groove and pins that can be snapped into recesses in existing containers to accommodate several to obtain separate container compartments.

Bei diesen Lösungen hat sich als nachteilig herausgestellt, daß sich an den Befestigungsstellen Schmutz ansetzen kann, der nur schwer zu entfernen ist. Auch sind die bereits bekannten Befestigungsweisen aufwendig in der Herstellung.These solutions have proven to be disadvantageous it turned out that at the attachment points Can accumulate dirt that is difficult to remove. Also are the already known methods of attachment complex to manufacture.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Müllbehälter der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß bei einfacher Konstruktion, Herstellung und Handhabung die Trennwand einen sicheren Halt besitzt und an den Befestigungsstellen Verschmutzungen nicht auftreten können.The object of the invention is a waste container improve the type mentioned so that at simple design, manufacture and handling Partition has a secure hold and to the Fastening points Soiling does not occur can.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in der Ausnehmung eine Dichtung angeordnet ist, die den Zapfen abdichtend umgibt.This object is achieved in that in the Recess a seal is arranged, the pin sealingly surrounds.

Hierbei kann die Dichtung hülsenförmig, topfförmig oder hutförmig sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Ausnehmung(en) von einem Sackloch, insbesondere einer Blindbohrung gebildet ist/sind. The seal can be sleeve-shaped, be cup-shaped or hat-shaped. Particularly advantageous it is when the recess (es) are from a blind hole, in particular a blind bore is / are formed.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der/die Zapfen an der Unterseite der Trennwand und die Ausnehmung(en) im Boden angeordnet ist/sind. Alternativ kann aber auch der/die Zapfen an der Oberseite des Bodens und die Ausnehmung(en) an der Unterseite der Trennwand angeordnet sein.It when the pin (s) on the Bottom of the partition and the recess (s) in the bottom is / are arranged. Alternatively, the Cones on the top of the bottom and the recess (es) be arranged on the underside of the partition.

Ein ausreichend sicherer Halt der Trennwand ist gegeben, wenn zwei bis fünf, insbesondere drei Zapfen und Ausnehmungen angeordnet sind.A sufficiently secure hold of the partition is given if two to five, especially three cones and Recesses are arranged.

Auch ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Zapfen in den Ausnehmungen eingepreßt, eingeklippst oder eingeschraubt sind.It is also particularly advantageous if the pins in the Recesses pressed in, clipped in or screwed in are.

Ein besonders sicherer Halt ist gewährleistet, wenn die Fläche des Bodens oder der Wand im Bereich der Ausnehmungen eine Verstärkung aufweist. Die Trennwand ist besonders einfach geformt, wenn die Oberseite des Bodens zwischen den Ausnehmungen oder den Zapfen glattflächig ist.A particularly secure hold is guaranteed if the Area of the floor or wall in the area of Recesses has a reinforcement. The partition is shaped particularly simply when the top of the bottom smooth between the recesses or the pins is.
