Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container according to the precharacterising part of claim 1.
- the container can be intended to receive all sorts of material, though hereinafter, to an illustrative but in no way delimiting end, the case of receipt of waste will be discussed.
- DE-A-2 715 992 discloses a container for collection of glass material, said container comprising a bottom part which can be opened downwardly.
- This bottom part is held in a closed position by means of a locking member having the character of a projection, which enters into a recess of the bottom part.
- the locking member is held in a locking position by means of a spring and may be brought out of this locking position by pulling a rod away from the container wall.
- This container necessary for a person to operate the rod by hand in order to open the container.
- This operation of the rod may be direct or indirect by pulling a rope. This is a time consuming and laborious way to open the bottom of the container. An operator would have to leave the crane to operate the rod and in this manner open the container unless he would have assistance from someone else.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a container having a locking arrangement operable in a rational and safe manner.
- discharge of the container can take place in an easy way, as it is sufficient that the container is lifted and then moved so that said first container side wall comes closer to a wall, for example, or any other object extending generally horizontally, whereby the locking member will hit this object and will be pushed in a direction towards the first container side wall under release of the bottom part for the pivoting downwards thereof.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is defined in claim 2.
- the bottom part assumes a sloping, less than fully opened position in its freely hanging state of balance as the container is lifted. Thanks to this slope of the bottom part hanging downwards, the closure of the container is significantly facilitated, because when the lower edge of the bottom part reaches the ground during lowering of the container the former will reliably be affected in a closing direction. This implies that the outer edge areas of the bottom part as well as the whole bottom part with the attachment of the latter to the container are preserved from detrimental breaking forces and there is no risk for the bottom part being pivoted in the wrong way.
- a container 1 according to the invention is shown, said container presenting a generally parallellepipedic form and above all being intended for receipt of waste through two elongated inlet openings 4 located on top in the opposite long side walls 2, 3 of the container.
- the container presents a bottom part 5 which is formed by a generally flat and rectangular bottom piece 6 forming the bottom, and flange-like portions 7 which are projecting generally perpendicularly up from opposite short sides of said bottom piece and preferably being in one piece with said piece, said portions being intended to bear on the outside of the respective short side walls 8 of the container in the closed condition of the container.
- the bottom part is pivotably connected to the short side walls 8 at 9 around an axle which is generally perpendicular to said short side walls.
- the flange-like portions narrow from a container corner 10 at which the pivoting point 9 is arranged and towards the opposite container corner 11, and the reason for this design will be explained later on.
- Fig 3 the design of the bottom part is further illustrated, and also how the latter is locked in relation to the rest of the container.
- the walls of the container should be made of corrugated sheet, but in order to facilitate, on the drawings they have been shown as presenting two discs arranged with an interspacing.
- the very bottom surface 12 of the end of the bottom part which is located nearest to the pivoting point 9 presents an arc-shape with the pivoting point 9 as centre point and touches the lower edge 13 of the long side wall 3 of the container.
- the reason for this design is that, in this way, the bottom piece 6 will seal against said lower edge all the time during the downwards pivoting of the bottom part 5 in relation to the rest of the container, so that no waste will be able to get stuck there.
- the bottom part presents a second locking element 14 in the shape of a recess in which a first male locking element 15 is intended to engage for the inhibition of a downwards pivoting of the bottom part around the pivoting point 9.
- the first locking element 15 is formed by a V-shaped deviation of an arm 16 of a yoke-like locking member 17 which makes part of an arrangement for accomplishing said locking.
- the constitution of this locking arrangement is more clearly shown in Fig 7.
- the locking members 17 are two as to their number and obviously formed by bent flat bars, and a first arm 18 of each locking member respectively is intended to project out from an opening 19 in the lower region of the long side wall 2 of the container, while the second arm 16 projects through the container wall at this opening and into the interior of the container.
- the locking members 17 are connected to a bar 20, which, around its geometrical axis, is pivotably received in sleeves 21 at opposite short walls of the container.
- the locking members are pivotable around an axle 22 which is generally parallel to the bottom plane of the container, and thanks to the connection arrangement accomplished by the bar 20 the positions of the locking members are made interdependent, so that they are commonly pivoted, and it is enough that one of the locking members is manoeuvred to make the other execute the same movement.
- the weight distribution of the locking members is made in such a way that, at generally vertically directed side walls of the container, the gravitation seeks to pivot the V-shaped locking element 15 towards the side wall 2 to the locking position shown in Figs 3 and 4, so that the bottom part is held locked in relation to the rest of the container thanks to the effect of the gravitation upon the locking members 17.
- the container is lifted in a suitable way, e.g. by means of bringing the forks of a fork truck into one of the inlet openings 4, as illustrated in Fig 6.
- a compression force is applied from outside onto one of or both of the two locking member arms 18 in direction towards the container side wall 2, this for example being accomplished by the container being driven towards a wall or a post or simply by anyone manually pressing one of the locking arms 18 towards the container side wall 2.
- the pivoting of the locking members 17 thereby accomplished, clockwise according to Figs 3-5, leads to the first locking element 15 loosing its locking engagement with the recess 14, which is illustrated in Fig 5.
- the bottom part 5 can pivot freely around the pivoting point 9, and it therefore pivots down to the position shown in Fig 6 while at the same time the waste located in the container slides out.
- the pivoting point 9 being arranged at a distance above the bottom plane of the container, the bottom piece 6 of the container will present a slope in relation to the vertical line in the closing direction in connection with a possibility to free pivoting and finding of a free position of balance.
- the downwards narrowing shape of the flange-like portions towards the down-hanging end of the bottom part contributes to the increase of this angle.
- This angle can be further increased by suitable weight distribution of the bottom part, which explains that, in Fig 6, it looks like a state of balance is not obtained, even though that is the case.
- the advantage of said sloping in relation to the vertical line lies in that the very lowering of the container onto the ground or onto a floor is significantly facilitated and the risks for damages on the bottom part are minimized, as the forces on the outer edge 23 of the bottom part become small, and, furthermore, there is no risk that the bottom part 5 is effected to pivot in the wrong direction during the lowering thereof, that is clockwise as seen in Fig 6.
- the bottom piece 6 hereby forms an angle with the vertical line, which angle suitably is more than 10°, preferably more than 20° and most preferably more than 30°.
- the closing members 17 will automatically go into a locking engagement with the recesses 14 in the bottom part and lock the latter in relation to the rest of the container thanks to the fact that the first locking element 15, by means of its downwards directed V-yoke 24, presents an oblique surface which, as it is hit by portions 25 of the bottom part that surround the surface 14, will run along these under pivoting of the locking member 17 around the axle 22 in an opening direction until the locking element 15 has reached such a position that it falls into the recess 14, where-after the weight distribution of the locking member 17 leads to the latter being automatically in-pivoted and retained in its locking position.
- the invention includes containers for totally different material than waste.
- a spring member can be arranged, so that a spring force must be overcome to bring the locking members out of the locking engagement. It would also be possible to combine such a spring member with a certain weight distribution of the locking members to see to that they are retained in the locking position.
