Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mülltonne deren Deckel mit einer Verriegelungseinrichtung verriegelbarist, 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 wobei eine auf die Verriegelungseinrichtung einwirkende Betätigung zum Entriegeln beziehungsweise Verriegeln des Deckels vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a garbage can whose lid a locking device is lockable, wherein the locking device when tipping the garbage can in an emptying position by means of a movable arranged weight can be unlocked automatically and when Swiveling the garbage can back into the standing position automatically is lockable and one on the locking device Acting actuation to unlock 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 in the EP-A-0 509 932; with the one described there Lockability of the garbage can is taken into account borne that the cost of waste disposal is increasing today according to the number of garbage can empties or the weight of the worn garbage can be calculated so that the Incentive increases, the garbage accumulated in foreign garbage cans give. To prevent this, is already in the a locking device for proposed a garbage can that is also an automatic Opening or closing the lid lock taken into account when emptying the garbage can ensure smooth garbage disposal. This is at the in the tilting direction of the front side wall of the garbage can inside a lock attached, one in the lid attached locking hook when closing the lid comes up with. In addition to operating the lock via a Key or the like is a weight in the lock slidably arranged, the at a swivel angle of more than 90 degrees from the vertical a release of the Lid locking hook brings about in the castle, 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 disadvantage of the known garbage can is that the structure of the locking device is complicated and so that it is prone to failure; in particular it depends Functional safety from weight shift and the resulting unlocking in the lock. Therefore, the invention has for its object a Garbage can with a simpler structure To provide a lid lock.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich einschließlich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung aus dem Inhalt der Patentansprüche, welche dieser Beschreibung nachgestellt sind.The solution to this problem is inclusive advantageous refinements and developments of Invention from the content of the claims, which this Description are reproduced.

Die Erfindung sieht in ihrem Grundgedanken vor, daß als Verriegelungseinrichtung eine parallel zur Deckelebene 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 invention provides in its basic concept that as Locking device one parallel to the cover level sliding and in the closed position in one on the attached assigned vertical wall of the garbage can Locking latch engaging locking bar provided and that Weight is rotatably arranged in the lid, wherein Locking bar and weight to implement the rotary movement of the Weight in a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar are coupled together. With the invention Advantage connected that the locking device only includes a few parts; there is a particular advantage to this see that due to the pivotally arranged in the lid Weight when tilting the garbage can in the Garbage on the inside of the lid and thus on the Weight drops and with it the rotation of the weight supported. This way the function is easier assembled lid locking device 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 eine Längsverschiebung der Riegelstange problemlos geschehen.According to an embodiment of the invention, that for coupling the locking bar and weight Bolt bar a protruding pin and the weight one oblique running on the pin during its rotational movement Have level; this can help implement the Rotational movement of the weight in a longitudinal displacement of the Locking bar happen easily.

Vorteilhaft ist die Ausbildung des Gewichtes in Form einer Platte mit der Ausnehmung des Deckels nahekommenden Abmessungen, weil hierdurch eine größere Fläche für die Einwirkung des auf die Innenseite des Deckels beim Kippen der Tonne fallenden Mülls gegeben ist.It is advantageous to design the weight in the form of a Plate with the recess of the lid approaching Dimensions, because this creates a larger area for the Influence of on the inside of the lid when tilting given the ton of falling garbage.

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 useful if, according to an embodiment Invention the locking bar in its closed position via a Spring is biased. It is still appropriate if according to an embodiment of the invention Locking bar to create a vertical distance between the lid level and the locking hook Has an offset.

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 als solcher beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 054 225 bekannt ist.According to embodiments of the invention, with regard to on the actuation of the lid locking device be provided on the outside of the garbage can wall or one on the lid of the garbage can Longitudinal displacement of the locking bar causing swivel lever lock to provide which as such is known for example from EP-A-0 054 225.

Im Rahmen 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 zur Drehbewegung des Gewichts der Unterstützung durch den auf die Innenseite des Deckels fallenden Müll bedarf.As part of the invention also proposes that the size the weight is such that when tipping the empty or low-filled garbage can none Unlocking of the lid occurs; this is to be avoided be that immediately after emptying a ton unauthorized user the empty or even slightly filled The barrel tilts to unlock the lid and then afterwards To fill in foreign waste; the interpretation of the weight can therefore be dimensioned so that it can rotate of the weight of support through to the inside of the lid falling garbage.

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, according to one embodiment, the Invention can be provided that locking bar and weight in a housing to be attached to the inside of the cover are arranged; this is also a simple way Retrofitting of existing garbage cans is possible, which is why the attachment of the locking hook and the Swivel lever lock on the outer wall of the garbage can belong.

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.From Figure 1 results in a garbage can 10, the one in Has tilting front wall 11, with a lid 12 is attached to the garbage can 10 such that the corresponding hinge 13 of the front wall 11 is arranged opposite. At 14 one is on the Outside of the front wall 11 of the garbage can 10 attached swivel lever lock indicated as he is described for example in EP-A-0 054 225.

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 Figure 2, there is Locking device for locking the lid 12 out a plate-like weight 15, which is about a pivot point 16 is mounted in a housing 25, and this housing 25 is to be attached to the inside of the cover 12. By doing Housing 25 is the plate-shaped weight 15 in the direction of Arrow 17 pivotally arranged.

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 housing 25 and in the associated guide arm 26 a locking bar 18 is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, which has a locking tip at its front, free end 19 and at its opposite rear end loaded by a spring 21 into its locking position is in which the locking tip 19 out of the housing 25 or its guide arm 26 protrudes; to Forming a distance between the plane of the cover 12 and an associated locking hook on the front wall 11 of the garbage can 10 has the locking bar 18 Bevel 20 on. With the arrow 22 is the Direction of movement of the locking bar 18 when unlocking of the lid 12 marked.

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-shaped weight 15 has a longitudinal displacement of the locking bar 18 Locking bar 18 at least one laterally projecting pin 23 on which one on the plate-shaped weight 15 provided inclined plane 24 is such that at Rotational movement of the plate-shaped weight 15 in the direction the arrow 17, the locking bar 18 in the direction of arrow 22 is moved so that the locking tip 19 of the Locking bar 18 is drawn into the housing 25, 26 and thus out of engagement with the not shown Closing hook on the wall 11 of the garbage can 10 arrives. When the lid 12 is closed, the weight 15 falls again counter to arrow 17 down so that the spring 21 the Locking bar 18 again in its locking position presses.

Aufgrund der großen Fläche des plattenförmigen Gewichtes 15 ist erkennbar, daß bei der Kippbewegung der Mülltonne 10 der auf die Unterseite des Gewichtes 15 fallende Müll die Drehbewegung in Richtung des Pfeils 17 und damit die Öffnung des Deckels 12 unterstützt, so daß der Deckel 12 sich beim Entleeren der Mülltonne 10 leicht öffnet.Due to the large area of the plate-shaped weight 15 it can be seen that during the tilting movement of the garbage can 10 garbage falling on the underside of the weight 15 Rotary movement in the direction of arrow 17 and thus the opening the lid 12 supports so that the Lid 12 opens slightly when emptying the garbage can 10.

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 pivot lever lock 14 can in terms of Actuation of the locking bar 18 to release it at normal opening of the lid 12 for example be set up that when the pivot lever in its open position either the locking hook in one Release position for the locking tip 19 of the Locking rod 18 is rotated or the pivot lever upon its rotation in a suitable manner on the locking bar 18 acts and disengages them by its rotation pushes the otherwise permanently attached locking hook.
