- the recovery device is therefore formed by a float ensuring stability, surmounted a recovery tank including an opening at its upper part for disposing of household waste, and at at least one compartment provided with an open bag to receive garbage and having an access door in its wall side to remove the bag filled with garbage from of a boat.
- the tray recovery is circular and includes a turnstile interior having radial walls intended to divide the bin in several compartments each with a bag to receive garbage thrown into the opening upper part of the tank. The recovery of bags filled to leaving the boat, after opening the access door, by turning the turnstile so that have sequential access to each of the compartments.
- the recovery device according to the invention which is referred to as "marine bin” in this description, is a floating body illustrated in the figure 1.
- This marine bin consists of a float 10 in submerged part and supporting a recovery tank 12 of household waste. Tray 12 is partially open so that you can throw the trash in it housewives from surrounding boats.
- the set has a central mast surmounted by an indicator light 14 intended for report the trash at night.
- the indicator light lamp 14 is powered by a battery recharged in the day using photovoltaic cells located at the base of the indicator (not shown in the figure).
- the marine bin is anchored in the sea by means of a chain 16 attached to a dead body 18 whose weight is determined from the evaluation of the efforts induced by wind, sea currents and swell action.
- the dead body can be for example 1000 kg.
- Channel 16 which has a length of about twice the height of water, is attached to the marine bin by a clip central (not shown) under float 10 to facilitate approaching boats.
- a ballast 20 weighing approximately 100 kg on the chain in order, on the one hand, to maintain the vertical position of the chain under the trash, and, on the other hand, to ensure the stability of the bin.
- the 20 ballast allows to avoid jolts on the attachment of the chain 16 to float 10 and that would be sure to happen when the wind is strong or there is a strong swell.
- the marine bin, object of the invention is presented as illustrated in Figure 2 showing the float 10 and the recovery tank 12 in perspective.
- the float 10 which may have a diameter of 2 m to 2.5 m, is provided, at its part of larger diameter, of a rubber tube 22 to absorb possible shocks with small boats.

- the inner edge 26 of the recovery tank 12 is conical to facilitate the recovery of garbage bags housewives thrown into the bin. It should be noted that the angle that does the inner edge 26 with respect to the vertical does should not be important to prevent seagulls can land there, which would constitute a repulsive aspect for the use of the trash.
- the turnstile 28 in free rotation around its constituted axis by mast 30.
- the turnstile 28 includes several radial partitions 32 forming several compartments 33 around the axis or mast 30.
- the turnstile includes six radial partitions thus forming six compartments.
- a cone 34 integral with the turnstile 28 is placed at its upper part in order to facilitate the recovery of garbage bags housewives thrown by the occupants of the surrounding boats.
- a support cone 36 is also located at the base of the mast 30 and hides the pivot fixed to the partition wall 38 between the float 10 and the recovery tank 12 and on which the mast 30 and its turnstile 28 are mounted.
- each of the compartments formed by the turnstile 28 bags are arranged in each of the compartments formed by the turnstile 28.
- the recovery bag of a size in relation to the size of the compartment is fixed by its upper edges to the two partitions 32 delimiting the compartment with slides, hooks or other suitable mechanisms, so that everything garbage bag thrown into the opening of the bin recovery falls into one of the recovery bags found in one or other of the compartments.
- the recovery bags for garbage is picked up using a boat. This operation is carried out with access to the interior of the recovery 12 using a door 40.
- the person responsible for recovery picks up the bag in the first compartment to which the door has access and the laterally withdraws from the recovery tank through door 40.
- the stall is easy when the edges of the bag are passed through slides since it suffices to pull the edges on the outside of the slides.
- person subjected to turnstile (with hand or tool handling) a rotation of 60 ° so as to remove the second recovery bag from the second compartment, and so on ... This maneuver is therefore easy and does not does not require, as was the case previously, to have to tan the bin and empty its contents by turning it over.
- the marine bin which has just been described can have any dimensions while maintaining proportions in relation to those of Figures 1 to 3.
- the float preferably has the shape of a torus whose lower central part is hollowed out and has in its center a ring 42 allowing the attachment of the chain 16 (see Figure 1).
- the diameter of the float is roughly similar to the total height of all. So, with a diameter of the float 10 of 2.20 m where the rubber tube 22 is located, the height total of the bin is approximately 2.20 m, 0.90 m in height of the float and 1.30 m in height of the recovery tank 12. In this case it has a diameter about 1.80 m at its upper part.
- All parts of the marine bin can be made of plastic (polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate) or any other material. However, it is best to manufacture them in a composite material based on fiberglass. Made made of composite material and taking into account the dimensions mentioned above, the marine bin has a weight of vacuum of approximately 130 kg and a laden weight of 330 kg.
- the marine bin or recovery device has many advantages. Thanks to its float and the shape of this one, it has a very high stability to the wind with speeds of up to 150 km / h, or presence of tidal currents of 2 knots, and that makes it therefore unsinkable.
- the position of the recovery above the float, and therefore above the water level, allows for holes water flow (not shown in the figure) sea (case of waves higher than the part emerged) or rainwater.
- this marine trash is the possibility of recovering garbage housewives placed there, by easy handling thanks to the side door of the recovery tank. Although this is not strictly essential, handling is made even easier by the presence of a turnstile which, on the one hand, allows the splitting of the volume of garbage collected, and, on the other hand, allows a easy access to recovery bags placed in several compartments.

Description
La présente invention concerne la récupération des ordures ménagères en mer et en particulier un dispositif de récupération des ordures ménagères des bateaux au mouillage du type comportant un flotteur en partie immergé surmonté d'un bac de récupération pour y jeter les ordures ménagères.The present invention relates to the recovery of household waste at sea and in particular a device for recovery of household waste from boats at anchor of the type comprising a partially submerged float surmounted a recycling bin to throw the garbage in housewives.
Le problèmes des ordures ménagères se pose avec acuité pour les bateaux se trouvant dans un port, une baie et de façon générale au mouillage près de la côte. Les occupants des bateaux doivent régulièrement se rendre à quai au moyen d'une embarcation annexe pour se débarrasser de leurs ordures ménagères dans des récipients prévus à cet effet.The problem of household waste arises with acuity for boats located in a port, a bay and generally at anchor near the coast. The boat occupants must regularly travel to wharf by means of an annex boat to dispose of of their household waste in containers provided for this effect.
On a déjà songé à utiliser des dispositifs de récolte des ordures ménagères tels que celui décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2.638.436. Un tel dispositif est formé d'une bouée de forme tronconique ouverte à sa partie supérieure pour y jeter les ordures ménagères, et comportant deux anses permettant le remorquage de la bouée. Malheureusement, ce type de dispositif n'est pas suffisamment stable et peut en se penchant sous l'effet du vent en cas de mauvais temps, se remplir en partie d'eau. En outre, il est nécessaire de le remorquer et de le hâler pour pouvoir procéder à son vidage à terre lorsqu'il est plein.We have already thought about using harvesting devices household waste such as that described in the patent FR-A-2.638.436. Such a device is formed by a buoy of tapered shape open at its upper part to throw household waste, and with two handles allowing towing of the buoy. Unfortunately, this type of device is not stable enough and can leaning under the effect of the wind in bad weather, partially fill with water. In addition, it is necessary to tow it and tan it in order to be able to emptying ashore when full.
C'est pourquoi le but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de récupération des ordures ménagères de bateaux au mouillage qui soit stable même par mauvais temps et permette la récupération des ordures ménagères sans avoir à déplacer le dispositif de récupération. This is why the object of the invention is to provide a device for recovering household waste from boats at anchor that are stable even in bad weather and allows the recovery of household waste without have to move the recovery device.
Le dispositif de récupération selon l'invention est donc formé d'un flotteur assurant la stabilité, surmonté d'un bac de récupération comprenant une ouverture à sa partie supérieure pour y jeter les ordures ménagères, et au moins un compartiment pourvu d'un sac ouvert pour recevoir les ordures et disposant d'une porte d'accès dans sa paroi latérale pour retirer le sac rempli d'ordures à partir d'une embarcation.The recovery device according to the invention is therefore formed by a float ensuring stability, surmounted a recovery tank including an opening at its upper part for disposing of household waste, and at at least one compartment provided with an open bag to receive garbage and having an access door in its wall side to remove the bag filled with garbage from of a boat.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le bac de récupération est circulaire et comprend un tourniquet intérieur ayant des parois radiales destinées à diviser le bac en plusieurs compartiments disposant chacun d'un sac pour recevoir les ordures jetées dans l'ouverture supérieure du bac. La récupération des sacs remplis à partir de l'embarcation se faisant, après ouverture de la porte d'accès, par rotation du tourniquet de manière à avoir un accès séquentiel à chacun des compartiments.According to a preferred embodiment, the tray recovery is circular and includes a turnstile interior having radial walls intended to divide the bin in several compartments each with a bag to receive garbage thrown into the opening upper part of the tank. The recovery of bags filled to leaving the boat, after opening the access door, by turning the turnstile so that have sequential access to each of the compartments.
Les buts, objets et caractéristiques de l'invention
ressortiront mieux à la lecture de la description qui suit
faite en référence aux dessins dans lesquels :
Le dispositif de récupération conforme à l'invention
qui est désigné par "poubelle marine" dans cette
description, est un corps flottant illustré sur la figure
1. Cette poubelle marine est constituée d'un flotteur 10 en
partie immergé et supportant un bac de récupération 12 des
ordures ménagères. Le bac 12 est ouvert à sa partie
supérieure de manière à pouvoir y jeter les ordures
ménagères des bateaux environnants. L'ensemble dispose d'un
mât central surmonté d'un voyant lumineux 14 destiné à
signaler la poubelle la nuit. La lampe du voyant lumineux
14 est alimentée à l'aide d'une batterie rechargée dans la
journée au moyen de cellules photovoltaïques situées à la
base du voyant (non représentées sur la figure).The recovery device according to the invention
which is referred to as "marine bin" in this
description, is a floating body illustrated in the figure
1. This marine bin consists of a
La poubelle marine est ancrée en mer au moyen d'une
chaíne 16 accrochée à un corps mort 18 dont le poids est
déterminé à partir de l'évaluation des efforts induits par
le vent, les courants marins et l'action de la houle. Le
corps mort peut être par exemple de 1000 kg. La chaíne 16
qui a une longueur égale à environ deux fois la hauteur
d'eau, est fixée à la poubelle marine par une attache
centrale (non montrée) sous le flotteur 10 pour faciliter
l'approche des bateaux. Il est préférable en outre, de
placer un lest 20 d'un poids d'environ 100 kg sur la chaíne
dans le but, d'une part, de maintenir la position verticale
de la chaíne sous la poubelle, et, d'autre part, d'assurer
la stabilité de la poubelle. En outre, le lest 20 permet
d'éviter les à-coups sur l'attache de la chaíne 16 au
flotteur 10 et qui ne manqueraient pas de se produire
lorsque le vent est fort ou qu'il y a une forte houle.The marine bin is anchored in the sea by means of a
La poubelle marine, objet de l'invention, se présente
de la façon illustrée sur la figure 2 montrant le flotteur
10 et le bac de récupération 12 en perspective. Le flotteur
10 qui peut avoir un diamètre de 2 m à 2,5 m, est pourvu, à
sa partie de plus grand diamètre, d'un boudin en caoutchouc
22 pour amortir les chocs éventuels avec les petits
bateaux. Le bac de récupération 12 est également pourvu, à
sa partie de plus grand diamètre, d'un boudin en caoutchouc
24 pour amortir les chocs éventuels avec les plus gros
bateaux.The marine bin, object of the invention, is presented
as illustrated in Figure 2 showing the
Le bord intérieur 26 du bac de récupération 12 est
conique pour faciliter la récupération des sacs d'ordures
ménagères jetés dans le bac. On doit noter que l'angle que
fait le bord intérieur 26 par rapport à la verticale ne
doit pas être important pour éviter que les mouettes
puissent se poser à cet endroit, ce qui constituerait un
aspect répulsif pour l'utilisation de la poubelle.The
Dans le bac de récupération 12 se trouve un
tourniquet 28 en rotation libre autour de son axe constitué
par la mât 30. En référence à la figure 3 qui montre
l'intérieur du bac de récupération, on voit que le
tourniquet 28 comprend plusieurs séparations radiales 32
formant plusieurs compartiments 33 autour de l'axe ou mât
30. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, le tourniquet
comprend six séparations radiales formant donc six
compartiments. Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, un cône 34
solidaire du tourniquet 28 est placé à sa partie supérieure
dans le but de faciliter la récupération des sacs d'ordures
ménagères jetés par les occupants des bateaux environnants.
Un cône de maintien 36 se trouve également à la base du mât
30 et cache le pivot fixé à la paroi de séparation 38 entre
le flotteur 10 et le bac de récupération 12 et sur lequel
est monté le mât 30 et son tourniquet 28.In the
Pour la récupération des ordures ménagères, des sacs
de récupération sont disposés dans chacun des compartiments
formés par le tourniquet 28. Le sac de récupération d'une
grandeur en rapport avec la grandeur du compartiment, est
fixé par ses bords supérieurs aux deux séparations 32
délimitant le compartiment à l'aide de glissières, de
crochets ou autres mécanismes adéquats, de sorte que tout
sac d'ordures ménagères jeté dans l'ouverture du bac de
récupération tombe dans un des sacs de récupération se
trouvant dans l'un ou autre des compartiments.For the recovery of household waste, bags
are arranged in each of the compartments
formed by the
De façon régulière, les sacs de récupération des
ordures sont ramassés à l'aide d'une embarcation. Cette
manoeuvre s'effectue en ayant accès à l'intérieur du bac de
récupération 12 à l'aide d'une porte 40. La personne
chargée de la récupération décroche le sac se trouvant dans
le premier compartiment auquel la porte a accès et le
retire latéralement du bac de récupération par la porte 40.
On doit noter que le décrochage est aisé lorsque les bords
du sac sont passés dans des glissières puisqu'il suffit de
tirer les bords à l'extérieur des glissières. Puis la
personne fait subir au tourniquet (avec la main ou un outil
de manutention) une rotation de 60° de façon à retirer le
deuxième sac de récupération du deuxième compartiment, et
ainsi de suite... Cette manoeuvre est donc aisée et ne
nécessite pas, comme c'était le cas auparavant, d'avoir à
hâler la poubelle et à vider son contenu en la retournant.On a regular basis, the recovery bags for
garbage is picked up using a boat. This
operation is carried out with access to the interior of the
La poubelle marine qui vient d'être décrite peut
avoir des dimensions quelconques tout en conservant des
proportions en rapport avec celles des figures 1 à 3. Comme
on le voit sur la figure 3, le flotteur a de préférence la
forme d'un tore dont la partie centrale inférieure est
évidée et comporte en son centre un anneau 42 permettant
l'accrochage de la chaíne 16 (voir figure 1). Le diamètre
du flotteur est à peu près similaire à la hauteur totale de
l'ensemble. Ainsi, avec un diamètre du flotteur 10 de
2,20 m où se trouve le boudin en caoutchouc 22, la hauteur
totale de la poubelle est approximativement de 2,20 m, soit
0,90 m de hauteur du flotteur et 1,30 m pour la hauteur du
bac de récupération 12. Dans ce cas celui-ci a un diamètre
d'environ 1,80 m à sa partie supérieure. Ces dimensions
confèrent au flotteur un volume de 1400 l et au bac de
récupération un volume de 3000 l.The marine bin which has just been described can
have any dimensions while maintaining
proportions in relation to those of Figures 1 to 3. As
as seen in Figure 3, the float preferably has the
shape of a torus whose lower central part is
hollowed out and has in its center a
Toutes les parties de la poubelle marine, que ce soit le flotteur, le bac de récupération, le tourniquet ou le mât, peuvent être fabriquées en une matière plastique (polyéthylène, polypropylène, polycarbonate) ou tout autre matériau. Toutefois, il est préférable de les fabriquer en un matériau composite à base de fibre de verre. Fabriquée en matériau composite et en tenant compte des dimensions mentionnées précédemment, la poubelle marine a un poids à vide d'environ 130 kg et un poids en charge de 330 kg.All parts of the marine bin, whether the float, the recovery tank, the turnstile or the mast, can be made of plastic (polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate) or any other material. However, it is best to manufacture them in a composite material based on fiberglass. Made made of composite material and taking into account the dimensions mentioned above, the marine bin has a weight of vacuum of approximately 130 kg and a laden weight of 330 kg.
Grâce à sa conception originale, la poubelle marine ou dispositif de récupération selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages. Grâce à son flotteur et à la forme de celui-ci, elle présente une très grande stabilité au vent ayant des vitesses pouvant atteindre 150 km/h, ou en présence de courants de marée de 2 noeuds, et qui la rend de ce fait insubmersible. La position du bac de récupération au dessus du flotteur, et donc au dessus du niveau de l'eau, permet de prévoir des orifices d'écoulement (non représentés sur la figure) de l'eau de mer (cas des vagues de hauteur supérieure à la partie émergée) ou de l'eau de pluie.Thanks to its original design, the marine bin or recovery device according to the invention has many advantages. Thanks to its float and the shape of this one, it has a very high stability to the wind with speeds of up to 150 km / h, or presence of tidal currents of 2 knots, and that makes it therefore unsinkable. The position of the recovery above the float, and therefore above the water level, allows for holes water flow (not shown in the figure) sea (case of waves higher than the part emerged) or rainwater.
Il reste bien sûr que l'avantage principal de cette poubelle marine est la possibilité de récupérer les ordures ménagères qui y sont placées, par une manipulation facile grâce à la porte latérale du bac de récupération. Bien que ceci ne soit pas strictement indispensable, la manipulation est rendue encore plus aisée par la présence d'un tourniquet qui, d'une part, permet le fractionnement du volume d'ordures collecté, et, d'autre part, permet un accès facile à des sacs de récupération placés dans plusieurs compartiments. On doit noter qu'il pourrait y avoir plus d'une porte d'accès et que le tourniquet pourrait avoir un nombre quelconque de séparations (3, 4, 8 ou 10) bien que le nombre de six séparations soit préférable. Enfin, par sa forme et ses dimensions qui font assimiler cette poubelle à une sorte de bouée de grandes dimensions, et surtout si elle est d'une couleur assortie au milieu dans laquelle elle se trouve, la poubelle selon l'invention est entièrement adaptée à l'environnement marin ou portuaire.It remains of course that the main advantage of this marine trash is the possibility of recovering garbage housewives placed there, by easy handling thanks to the side door of the recovery tank. Although this is not strictly essential, handling is made even easier by the presence of a turnstile which, on the one hand, allows the splitting of the volume of garbage collected, and, on the other hand, allows a easy access to recovery bags placed in several compartments. It should be noted that there could have more than one access door and that the turnstile could have any number of separations (3, 4, 8 or 10) although the number of six separations is preferable. Finally, by its shape and dimensions which make equate this trash can to a kind of big buoy dimensions, and especially if it is a matching color in the middle in which it is located, the bin according the invention is fully adapted to the marine environment or port.
