Definitions
- the invention relates to a garbage can with a lockable by means of a locking device, the locking device being automatically unlockable when the garbage can is tilted into an emptying position by means of a movably arranged weight, and can be locked automatically when the garbage can is pivoted back into the standing position, and an actuation acting on the locking device for Unlocking or locking the lid is provided.
- a garbage can with the generic features is described in EP-A-0 509 932; with the closability of the garbage can described there is taken into account the fact that the costs of waste disposal are increasingly calculated according to the number of garbage can empties or the weight of the garbage removed, so that the The incentive is increased to put the rubbish into foreign rubbish bins.
- a locking device for a garbage can is already proposed in the aforementioned publication, which also takes into account automatic opening and closing of the lid lock when emptying the garbage can in order to ensure smooth garbage disposal.
- a lock is fitted on the inside of the front side wall of the garbage can in the tilting direction, into which a locking hook attached to the cover engages when the cover is closed.
- a weight is slidably arranged in the lock, which at a swivel angle of more than 90 degrees brings about a release of the cover locking hook in the lock, so that the cover can open.
- the known garbage can has the disadvantage that the construction of the locking device is complicated and therefore prone to failure; in particular, the safety of the function depends on the shifting of the weight and the release in the lock triggered thereby. Therefore, the invention has for its object to provide a garbage can with a simple lock latch.
- the basic idea of the invention provides that a locking device parallel to the cover slidable and in the closed position engaging in a locking hook attached to the associated vertical wall of the garbage can locking bar is provided and the weight is rotatably arranged in the lid, locking bar and weight are coupled to convert the rotational movement of the weight into a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar.
- the advantage of the invention is that the locking device comprises only a few parts; A particular advantage can be seen in the fact that due to the pivotable weight in the lid when the garbage can is tilted, the garbage in it falls on the inside of the lid and thus also on the weight and thus supports the rotation of the weight. In this way, the function of the more simply constructed lid locking device is further improved.
- the locking bar has a protruding pin and the weight has an inclined plane running on the pin during its rotational movement; as a result, the rotational movement of the weight can be easily implemented in a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar.
- the advantage is the formation of the weight in the form of a plate with dimensions close to the recess of the lid, because here there is a larger area for the action of the garbage falling on the inside of the lid when the bin is tipped.
- the locking bar is biased into its closed position by means of a spring. It is still appropriate if according to an embodiment of the invention, the locking bar has an offset to produce a vertical distance between the cover plane and the locking hook.
- the size of the weight is dimensioned such that when the empty or slightly filled garbage can is tilted, the lid does not unlock; this is to avoid that, immediately after emptying a bin, an unauthorized user tilts the empty or only slightly filled bin to unlock the lid and then fill in foreign waste; the design of the weight can therefore be such that the rotational movement of the weight needs to be supported by the garbage falling on the inside of the lid.
- the locking bar and weight are arranged in a housing to be attached to the inside of the cover; retrofitting of existing garbage cans is thus possible in a simple manner, which then also includes the attachment of the locking hook and the swivel lever lock on the outer wall of the garbage can.
- FIG. 1 shows a garbage can 10 which has a front wall 11 in the tilting direction, a lid 12 being fastened to the garbage can 10 in such a way that the corresponding hinge 13 is arranged opposite the front wall 11.
- With 14 is indicated on the outside of the front wall 11 of the garbage can 10 pivot lever lock, as described for example in EP-A-0 054 225.
- the locking device for locking the cover 12 consists of a plate-like weight 15 which is mounted about a pivot point 16 in a housing 25, and this housing 25 is to be fastened to the inside of the cover 12.
- the plate-shaped weight 15 is arranged pivotably in the direction of arrow 17.
- a locking rod 18 is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, which has a locking tip 19 at its front, free end and is loaded at its opposite rear end by a spring 21 into its locking position, in which the locking tip 19 protrudes from the housing 25 or its guide arm 26; to form a distance between the plane of the cover 12 and an associated locking hook on the front wall 11 of the garbage can 10, the locking bar 18 has a bevel 20.
- the arrow 22 indicates the direction of movement of the locking bar 18 when the cover 12 is unlocked.
- the locking bar 18 has at least one laterally projecting pin 23, on which an inclined plane 24 provided on the plate-shaped weight 15 runs such that during the rotary movement of the plate-shaped weight 15 in In the direction of arrow 17, the locking bar 18 is moved in the direction of arrow 22, so that the locking tip 19 of the locking bar 18 is pulled into the housing 25, 26 and thus comes out of engagement with the locking hook, not shown, on the wall 11 of the garbage can 10.
- the weight 15 falls again against the arrow 17, so that the spring 21 presses the locking bar 18 back into its locking position.
- the pivot lever lock 14 can, for example, be set up with respect to the actuation of the locking rod 18 to release it when the cover 12 is opened normally, such that when the pivot lever is rotated in its open position either the locking hook is rotated into a release position for the locking tip 19 of the locking bar 18 or the pivot lever acts in a suitable manner on the locking bar 18 during its rotation and urges it out of engagement with the otherwise fixed locking hook due to its rotation.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mülltonne mit einem mittels einer Verriegelungseinrichtung verriegelbaren Deckel, wobei die Verriegelungseinrichtung beim Kippen der Mülltonne in eine Entleerungsstellung mittels eines beweglich angeordneten Gewichts selbsttätig entriegelbar und beim Rückschwenken der Mülltonne in die Standposition selbsttätig verriegelbar ist, und eine auf die Verriegelungseinrichtung einwirkende Betätigung zum Entriegeln beziehungsweise Verriegeln des Deckels vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a garbage can with a lockable by means of a locking device, the locking device being automatically unlockable when the garbage can is tilted into an emptying position by means of a movably arranged weight, and can be locked automatically when the garbage can is pivoted back into the standing position, and an actuation acting on the locking device for Unlocking or locking the lid is provided.
Eine Mülltonne mit den gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen ist in der EP-A-0 509 932 beschrieben; mit der dort beschriebenen Verschließbarkeit der Mülltonne wird dem Umstand Rechnung getragen, daß die Kosten der Müllentsorgung heute zunehmend nach der Anzahl der Mülltonnenleerungen oder dem Gewicht des abgefahrenen Mülls berechnet werden, so daß sich der Anreiz erhöht, den anfallenden Müll in fremde Mülltonnen zu geben. Um dieses zu verhindern, ist bereits in der vorgenannten Druckschrift eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung für eine Mülltonne vorgeschlagen, die auch ein selbsttätiges Öffnen beziehungsweise Schließen der Deckel-Verriegelung beim Leeren der Mülltonne berücksichtigt, um eine reibungslose Müllabfuhr sicherzustellen. Hierzu ist an der in Kipprichtung vorderen Seitenwandung der Mülltonne innenseitig ein Schloß angebracht, in das ein an dem Deckel befestigter Schließhaken beim Schließen des Deckels einfällt. Neben der Betätigung des Schlosses über einen Schlüssel oder dergleichen ist in dem Schloß ein Gewicht verschiebbar angeordnet, das bei einem Schwenkwinkel von mehr als 90 Grad aus der Vertikalen heraus eine Freigabe des Deckel-Schließhakens im Schloß herbeiführt, so daß der Deckel aufspringen kann.A garbage can with the generic features is described in EP-A-0 509 932; with the closability of the garbage can described there is taken into account the fact that the costs of waste disposal are increasingly calculated according to the number of garbage can empties or the weight of the garbage removed, so that the The incentive is increased to put the rubbish into foreign rubbish bins. To prevent this, a locking device for a garbage can is already proposed in the aforementioned publication, which also takes into account automatic opening and closing of the lid lock when emptying the garbage can in order to ensure smooth garbage disposal. For this purpose, a lock is fitted on the inside of the front side wall of the garbage can in the tilting direction, into which a locking hook attached to the cover engages when the cover is closed. In addition to the actuation of the lock using a key or the like, a weight is slidably arranged in the lock, which at a swivel angle of more than 90 degrees brings about a release of the cover locking hook in the lock, so that the cover can open.
Mit der bekannten Mülltonne ist der Nachteil verbunden, daß die Verriegelungseinrichtung in ihrem Aufbau kompliziert und damit störungsanfällig ist; insbesondere hängt die Sicherheit der Funktion ab von der Verschiebung des Gewichts und der dadurch ausgelösten Entriegelung in dem Schloß. Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mülltonne mit einer einfacher aufgebauten Deckelverriegelung zur Verfügung zu stellen.The known garbage can has the disadvantage that the construction of the locking device is complicated and therefore prone to failure; in particular, the safety of the function depends on the shifting of the weight and the release in the lock triggered thereby. Therefore, the invention has for its object to provide a garbage can with a simple lock latch.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich einschließlich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung aus dem Inhalt der Patentansprüche, welche dieser Beschreibung nachgestellt sind.This object is achieved, including advantageous refinements and developments of the invention, from the content of the patent claims, which follow this description.
Die Erfindung sieht in ihrem Grundgedanken vor, daß als Verriegelungseinrichtung eine parallel zum Deckel verschiebbare und in der Schließstellung in einen an der zugeordneten senkrechten Wandung der Mülltonne angebrachten Schließhaken eingreifende Riegelstange vorgesehen und das Gewicht in dem Deckel drehbeweglich angeordnet ist, wobei Riegelstange und Gewicht zur Umsetzung der Drehbewegung des Gewichts in eine Längsverschiebung der Riegelstange miteinander gekoppelt sind. Mit der Erfindung ist der Vorteil verbunden, daß die Verriegelungseinrichtung nur wenige Teile umfaßt; ein besonderer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß aufgrund des schwenkbar im Deckel angeordneten Gewichts beim Kippen der Mülltonne der in dieser befindliche Müll auf die Innenseite des Deckels und damit auch auf das Gewicht fällt und damit die Drehung des Gewichtes unterstützt. Auf diese Weise ist die Funktion der einfacher aufgebauten Deckel-Verriegelungseinrichtung weiter verbessert.The basic idea of the invention provides that a locking device parallel to the cover slidable and in the closed position engaging in a locking hook attached to the associated vertical wall of the garbage can locking bar is provided and the weight is rotatably arranged in the lid, locking bar and weight are coupled to convert the rotational movement of the weight into a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar. The advantage of the invention is that the locking device comprises only a few parts; A particular advantage can be seen in the fact that due to the pivotable weight in the lid when the garbage can is tilted, the garbage in it falls on the inside of the lid and thus also on the weight and thus supports the rotation of the weight. In this way, the function of the more simply constructed lid locking device is further improved.
Nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zur Kopplung von Riegelstange und Gewicht die Riegelstange einen abstehenden Zapfen und das Gewicht eine bei seiner Drehbewegung an dem Zapfen ablaufende schiefe Ebene aufweisen; hierdurch kann die Umsetzung der Drehbewegung des Gewichtes in einer Längsverschiebung der Riegelstange problemlos geschehen.According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that for the coupling of the locking bar and weight, the locking bar has a protruding pin and the weight has an inclined plane running on the pin during its rotational movement; as a result, the rotational movement of the weight can be easily implemented in a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar.
Vorteil ist die Ausbildung des Gewichtes in Form einer Platte mit der Ausnehmung des Deckels nahekommenden Abmessungen, weil hier eine größere Fläche für die Einwirkung des auf die Innenseite des Deckels beim Kippen der Tonne fallenden Mülls gegeben ist.The advantage is the formation of the weight in the form of a plate with dimensions close to the recess of the lid, because here there is a larger area for the action of the garbage falling on the inside of the lid when the bin is tipped.
Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung die Riegelstange in ihre Schließstellung über eine Feder vorgespannt ist. Es ist weiterhin zweckmäßig, wenn nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung die Riegelstange zur Herstellung eines vertikalen Abstandes zwischen der Deckelebene und dem Schließhaken eine Abkröpfung aufweist.It is expedient if, according to an embodiment of the invention, the locking bar is biased into its closed position by means of a spring. It is still appropriate if According to an embodiment of the invention, the locking bar has an offset to produce a vertical distance between the cover plane and the locking hook.
Nach Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung kann im Hinblick auf die Betätigung der Deckel-Verriegelungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, an der Außenseite der Mülltonnenwandung oder aber auf dem Deckel der Mülltonne jeweils einen die Längsverschiebung der Riegelstange bewirkenden Schwenkhebelverschluß vorzusehen, welcher Schwenkhebelverschluß als solcher beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 054 225 bekannt ist.According to exemplary embodiments of the invention, with regard to the actuation of the lid locking device, it is possible to provide on the outside of the garbage can wall or on the lid of the garbage can in each case a pivot lever lock which causes the longitudinal displacement of the locking bar, which pivot lever closure as such, for example, from EP-A- 0 054 225 is known.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist auch vorgeschlagen, daß die Größe des Gewichts derart bemessen ist, daß beim Kippen der leeren beziehungsweise gering gefüllten Mülltonne keine Entriegelung des Deckels eintritt; hiermit soll vermieden werden, daß unmittelbar nach der Leerung einer Tonne ein unbefugter Benutzer die leere oder auch nur gering gefüllte Tonne kippt, um den Deckel zu entriegeln und so anschließend Fremdmüll einzufüllen; die Auslegung des Gewichts kann daher so bemessen sein, daß es der Unterstützung der Drehbewegung des Gewichts durch den auf die Innenseite des Deckels fallenden Müll bedarf.According to the invention it is also proposed that the size of the weight is dimensioned such that when the empty or slightly filled garbage can is tilted, the lid does not unlock; this is to avoid that, immediately after emptying a bin, an unauthorized user tilts the empty or only slightly filled bin to unlock the lid and then fill in foreign waste; the design of the weight can therefore be such that the rotational movement of the weight needs to be supported by the garbage falling on the inside of the lid.
Schließlich kann nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, daß Riegelstange und Gewicht in einem an der Innenseite des Deckels anzubringenden Gehäuse angeordnet sind; damit ist in einfacher Weise auch eine Nachrüstung bestehender Mülltonnen möglich, wozu dann auch die Anbringung des Schließhakens und des Schwenkhebelverschlusses an der Außenwandung der Mülltonne gehören.Finally, it can be provided according to an embodiment of the invention that the locking bar and weight are arranged in a housing to be attached to the inside of the cover; retrofitting of existing garbage cans is thus possible in a simple manner, which then also includes the attachment of the locking hook and the swivel lever lock on the outer wall of the garbage can.

Aus Figur 1 ergibt sich eine Mülltonne 10, die eine in Kipprichtung vordere Wandung 11 aufweist, wobei ein Deckel 12 an der Mülltonne 10 derart befestigt ist, daß das entsprechende Scharnier 13 der vorderen Wandung 11 gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist. Mit 14 ist ein auf der Außenseite der vorderen Wandung 11 der Mülltonne 10 angebrachter Schwenkhebelverschluß angedeutet, wie er beispielsweise in der EP-A-0 054 225 beschrieben ist.1 shows a garbage can 10 which has a
Wie sich aus Figur 2 im einzelnen ergibt, besteht die Verriegelungseinrichtung zur Verriegelung des Deckels 12 aus einem plattenartigen Gewicht 15, welches um einen Drehpunkt 16 in einem Gehäuse 25 gelagert ist, und dieses Gehäuse 25 ist an der Innenseite des Deckels 12 zu befestigen. In dem Gehäuse 25 ist das plattenförmige Gewicht 15 in Richtung des Pfeils 17 schwenkbeweglich angeordnet.As can be seen in detail from FIG. 2, the locking device for locking the
In dem Gehäuse 25 sowie in dem damit verbundenen Führungsarm 26 ist eine Riegelstange 18 längsverschiebbar angeordnet, die an ihrem vorderen, freien Ende eine Verriegelungsspitze 19 aufweist und an ihrem gegenüberliegenden hinteren Ende von einer Feder 21 in ihre Verriegelungsstellung belastet ist, in welcher die Verriegelungsspitze 19 aus dem Gehäuse 25 beziehungsweise dessen Führungsarm 26 hervorsteht; zur Ausbildung eines Abstandes zwischen der Ebene des Deckels 12 und einem zugeordneten Schließhaken an der vorderen Wandung 11 der Mülltonne 10 weist die Riegelstange 18 eine Abkräpfung 20 auf. Mit dem Pfeil 22 ist die Bewegungsrichtung der Riegelstange 18 bei der Entriegelung des Deckels 12 gekennzeichnet.In the
Zur Umsetzung der Drehbewegung des plattenförmigen Gewichts 15 in eine Längsverschiebung der Riegelstange 18 weist die Riegelstange 18 wenigstens einen seitlich abstehenden Zapfen 23 auf, an dem eine an dem plattenförmigen Gewicht 15 vorgesehene schiefe Ebene 24 derart abläuft, daß bei der Drehbewegung des plattenförmigen Gewichtes 15 in Richtung des Pfeils 17 die Riegelstange 18 in Richtung des Pfeils 22 verschoben wird, so daß die Verriegelungsspitze 19 der Riegelstange 18 in das Gehäuse 25, 26 hineingezogen wird und damit außer Eingriff mit dem nicht dargestellten Schließhaken an der Wandung 11 der Mülltonne 10 gelangt. Beim Schließen des Deckels 12 fällt das Gewicht 15 wieder entgegen dem Pfeil 17 nach unten, so daß die Feder 21 die Riegelstange 18 wieder in deren Verriegelungsposition drückt.To implement the rotary movement of the plate-
Aufgrund der großen Fläche des plattenförmigen Gewichtes 15 ist erkennbar, daß bei der Kippbewegung der Mülltonne 10 der auf die Unterseite des Gewichtes 15 fallenden Müll die Drehbewegung in Richtung des Pfeils 17 und damit die Öffnung des Deckels 12 unterstützt, so daß eine leichte Öffnung des Deckels 12 beim Entleeren der Mülltonne 10 gegeben ist.Due to the large area of the plate-
Der Schwenkhebelverschluß 14 kann hinsichtlich der Betätigung der Riegelstange 18 zu deren Freigabe bei der normalen Öffnung des Deckels 12 beispielsweise so eingerichtet sein, daß bei der Drehung des Schwenkhebels in seine Öffnungsstellung entweder der Schließhaken in eine Freigabestellung für die Verriegelungsspitze 19 der Riegelstange 18 mitgedreht wird oder aber der Schwenkhebel bei seiner Drehung in geeigneter Weise auf die Riegelstange 18 einwirkt und diese durch seine Drehung außer Eingriff mit dem im übrigen ortsfest angebrachten Schließhaken drängt.The
