Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abfallbehälter mit einem Behälter und einer über dem Behälter angeordneten Abdeckung, welche eine Öffnung oder Aussparung zum Einwerfen des Abfalls in den Behälter hat, wobei die Abdeckung insbesondere lösbar an einem Halter und der Behälter lösbar an dem Halter befestigt ist.The invention relates to a waste container with a container and one above the Container arranged cover, which has an opening or recess for Throwing the waste into the container, the cover in particular is releasably attached to a holder and the container is releasably attached to the holder.

Abfallbehälter dieser Art sind aus der FR 26 46 837 und der DE 43 07 307 bekannt und werden oft an freistehenden Pfählen oder an Häuserwänden entlang von Gehsteigen befestigt. Zum Leeren der Abfallbehälter wird mittels eines Schlüssels das den Behälter am Halter sichemde Schloss geöffnet, wonach dann der Behälter unter der Abdeckung wegklappbar bzw. verschwenkbar ist und bei einem bestimmten Schwenkwinkel der untere Sicherungsmechanismus den Behälter vom Halter frei gibt. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Abfallbehältern ist, dass die Abdeckung kompliziert gestaltet ist, da die Einwurföffnung durch ein Fenster an der Vorderseite der Abdeckung gebildet ist. Dieses Fenster wird an seiner Unterseite durch einen schmalen Steg begrenzt, welcher über dem oberen Rand des Behälters im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Abfallbehälters angeordnet ist. Für die Herstellung dieses schmalen Stegs werden komplizierte und teure Werkzeuge benötigt, wodurch der Abfallbehälter teuer wird. Zudem besteht durch die möglichst schmale Ausgestaltung des Steges eine erhöhte Bruchgefahr, da dieser Steg beim Befüllen des Abfallbehälters den größten mechanischen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt ist. Auch bedeutet der Steg einen erhöhten Materialaufwand. Auch eine Reinigung des Abfallbehälters ist nur schlecht möglich.Waste bins of this type are from FR 26 46 837 and DE 43 07 307 known and are often along free-standing piles or along the walls of houses fortified by sidewalks. To empty the waste container, use a Key that locks the container on the holder opened, then the container can be folded away or swiveled under the cover and at a certain swivel angle of the lower locking mechanism Releases the holder from the holder. A disadvantage of these known waste containers is that the cover is complicated because the opening through a Window is formed on the front of the cover. This window is on its underside delimited by a narrow web, which is above the upper Edge of the container in the assembled state of the waste container is arranged. For the manufacture of this narrow bridge are complicated and expensive tools, which makes the waste container expensive. moreover there is an increased due to the narrowest possible design of the web Risk of breakage, as this web is the largest when filling the waste container is exposed to mechanical stress. The bridge also means one increased material expenditure. Cleaning the waste container is also only bad possible.

Dieser Steg ist jedoch für die Stabilität der Abdeckung wichtig, da sonst die relativ dünnwandig ausgestalteten Seitenwände der Abdeckung sich beim Befüllen verbiegen und brechen könnten.However, this bridge is important for the stability of the cover, otherwise the relative thin-walled side walls of the cover itself when filling could bend and break.

Ebenfalls nachteilig bei den bekannten Abfallbehältem ist, dass sich durch Krafteinwirkung die Abdeckung relativ zum Behälter verschieben lässt.Another disadvantage of the known waste containers is that Force can move the cover relative to the container.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Abfallbehälter bereitzustellen, bei dem im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Abfallbehälters die Abdeckung und der Behälter zueinander in Position gehalten werden.The object of the invention is to provide a waste container in which assembled state of the waste container the cover and the container held in position with each other.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Abdeckung mindestens ein Eingreifelement an der jeweiligen linken und rechten Seite und der Behälter eine zu dem Eingreifelement korrespondierende Öffnung oder Aussparung hat, in welche das Eingreifelement im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Abfallbehälters eingreift und den Behälter und die Abdeckung zumindest im Bereich der Öffnung bzw. Aussparung relativ zueinander in Position hält und dass der Behälter mindestens einen an dem oberen Rand angeformten Vorsprung hat, der insbesondere als Griff dient, wobei sich der Vorsprung zumindest teilweise entlang der Vorderseite des Behälters erstreckt und auch teilweise an der rechten und linken Seite angrenzt und die Enden des Vorsprungs die Öffnungen bzw. Aussparungen bilden. Durch die Eingreifelemente, welche im zusammengesetzten Zustand in die Öffnungen oder Aussparungen des jeweils anderen Teils eingreifen, sind der Behälter und die Abdeckung relativ zueinander positioniert und können nicht durch äußere Kräfte bei entsprechender Gestaltung der Eingreifelemente und der Aussparungen auseinandergezogen werden. Die Öffnungen bzw. Aussparungen in den Enden des Vorsprungs können dabei einfache Sackbohrungen oder Nuten sein. Auch kann der Vorsprung einen Schlitz zwischen dem oberen Rand des Behälters mittels eines an ihn angeformten Steges bilden, der zur Aufnahme des Eingreifelements der Abdeckung beim Zusammenklappen bzw. Zusammensetzen des Abfallbehälters in diesen Schlitz dient. Dadurch, dass der Abfallbehälter meist abschließbar ist, ergibt sich dadurch eine kompakte Einheit, welche robust gegen Beschädigungen ist. Es sind keine zusätzlichen Handgriffe notwendig, um zusätzliche Sicherungsvorrichtungen an dem Abfallbehälter anzubringen. Hierdurch lässt sich der Abfallbehälter leicht entleeren und wieder zusammenbauen.This object is achieved in that the cover at least one engagement element on the respective left and right side and the Container an opening corresponding to the engaging element or Has recess in which the engaging element in the assembled state of the waste container engages and the container and the cover at least in Holds the area of the opening or recess in position relative to one another and that the container has at least one projection formed on the upper edge, which serves in particular as a handle, with the projection at least partially extends along the front of the container and also partially on the right and left side adjoins and the ends of the projection the openings or Make recesses. Through the engagement elements, which in the composite Condition in the openings or recesses of the other part engage, the container and the cover are positioned relative to each other and can not by external forces with the appropriate design Engagement elements and the recesses are pulled apart. The openings or recesses in the ends of the projection can be simple Be blind holes or grooves. The projection can also form a slot between the upper edge of the container by means of a web molded onto it, to accommodate the engaging element of the cover when folded or assembling the waste container is used in this slot. Thereby, the fact that the waste container is usually lockable results in a compact Unit that is robust against damage. There are no additional ones Handles necessary to attach additional safety devices to the Attach waste container. This makes it easy to empty the waste container and reassemble.

Dadurch, dass eine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Behälter und der Abdeckung besteht, kann die Abdeckung, welche meist als Topf bzw. Haube ausgebildet ist, relativ dünnwandig ausgestaltet werden, wodurch sich vorteilhaft Material einsparen lässt.The fact that a firm connection between the Containers and the cover can be the cover, which is usually a pot or hood is formed, are designed relatively thin-walled, whereby advantageous material can be saved.

Das Eingreifelement ist dabei vorteilhaft entweder an der Abdeckung angeformt und hat die Form eines beliebigen Vorsprungs, dessen Form jedoch an die korrespondierende Öffnung bzw. Aussparung im anderen Teil angepasst sein muss. Das Eingreifelement kann zudem auch ein stiftförmiges oder nasenartiges Teil sein, welches direkt an der Abdeckung oder an dem Behälter angeformt ist.The engaging element is advantageously either molded onto the cover and has the shape of any projection, the shape of which however matches that corresponding opening or recess in the other part got to. The engaging element can also be a pin-shaped or nose-like Be part that is formed directly on the cover or on the container.

Die Abdeckung verschließt zudem vorteilhaft den Behälter von der Rückseite bis hin zur Vorderseite, wobei an der Vorderseite der untere Rand der Abdeckung und der obere Rand des Behälters die Öffnung zum Einwerfen des Abfalls bilden. Hierdurch wird vorteilhaft auf den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Steg verzichtet, wodurch weniger kompliziert geformte Werkzeuge zur Erstellung der Abdeckung notwendig sind und sich zudem die Abdeckung bzw. Haube leichter reinigen lässt. Hierdurch sinken damit die Betriebskosten sowie die Herstellungskosten durch Materialeinsparung. The cover also advantageously closes the container from the back to towards the front, with the lower edge of the cover and the upper edge of the container form the opening for inserting the waste. This is advantageous on the web known from the prior art dispenses, which means less complicated shaped tools for creating the Cover are necessary and the cover or hood is lighter can be cleaned. This reduces the operating costs and the Manufacturing costs through material savings.

Bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform des Behälsers sind die Seitenflächen der Abdeckung zumindest abschnittsweise so weit nach unten gezogen, dass sie den Behälter im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Abfallbehälters seitlich überlappen und an dessen Vorsprung angrenzen. An dem der Vorderseite zugewandten Rand jeder Seitenfläche sind dann die Eingreifelemente befestigt oder angeformt.In a special embodiment of the container, the side surfaces of the Cover is pulled down at least in sections so that it covers the Overlap the container sideways in the assembled state of the waste container and border on its lead. On the edge facing the front The engagement elements are then attached or molded onto each side surface.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass es auch möglich ist, bei der zuletzt beschriebenen Ausführungsform an dem am Behälter angeformten Vorsprung die Eingreifelemente zuzuordnen bzw. anzuformen, und dass die überlappenden Seitenflächen die Öffnungen bzw. Aussparungen zur Aufnahme der Eingreifelemente bilden. Die erste Ausführungsform hat jedoch den Vorteil, dass die überlappenden Seitenflächen der Abdeckung relativ dünnwandig ausgeführt werden können und auch die Eingreifelemente als dünnwandiger Vorsprung bzw. nasenartiger Vorsprung ausgebildet sein können. Hierdurch wird Material eingespart. Zudem können kostengünstigere Werkzeuge zur Fertigung der Abdeckung verwendet werden.It goes without saying that it is also possible at the last Embodiment described on the protrusion formed on the container Assign or form engagement elements, and that the overlapping Side surfaces the openings or recesses for receiving the Form engagement elements. However, the first embodiment has the advantage that the overlapping side surfaces of the cover are made relatively thin-walled can be and the engaging elements as a thin-walled projection or nose-like projection can be formed. This will make material saved. In addition, cheaper tools for manufacturing the Cover can be used.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Explosionsdarstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Abfallbehälters. Der Halter 3 kann an einer Wand oder an einem Pfahl 6 befestigt werden. An dem Halter 3 sind im unteren Bereich Vorsprünge 4, welche als Auflage für den unteren hinteren Rand 1f des Behälters 1 dienen, wie aus den Figuren 3a bis 3c zu ersehen ist. Der Behälter 1 hat eine Vorderseite 1b und seitliche Wände 1a. An dem oberen Rand 1c des Behälters 1 ist ein Vorsprung 1d angeformt, welcher gleichzeitig als Griff dient und sich ein wenig über die Seitenwände 1a erstreckt. Die Enden 1e des Vorsprungs 1d dienen zur Aufnahme der an der Abdeckung bzw. Haube 2 angeformten Eingreifelemente 2c, welcher an den heruntergezogenen Seitenflächen 2a, 2b der Abdeckung 2 angeformt sind.Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the invention Waste. The holder 3 can be attached to a wall or to a pole 6 become. On the holder 3 are projections 4 in the lower area, which as Serve for the lower rear edge 1f of the container 1, as from the Figures 3a to 3c can be seen. The container 1 has a front 1b and side walls 1a. At the upper edge 1c of the container 1 is a projection 1d molded, which also serves as a handle and a little about the Side walls 1a extends. The ends 1e of the projection 1d are used for receiving the engaging elements 2c formed on the cover or hood 2, which are integrally formed on the pulled-down side surfaces 2a, 2b of the cover 2.

Die Abdeckung 2 ist fest mit dem Halter 3 verbunden. Dazu hat die Abdeckung 2 einen angeformten Vorsprung 2e, welcher über ein entsprechend ausgeformtes oberes Ende 3a des Halters 3 passgenau ausgeschoben wird und mittels eines Stiftes 5, welcher mit einem nicht dargestellten Schloss zusammenwirkt, am Halter gesichert ist. Das nicht dargestellte Schloss dient ebenfalls dazu, den Behälter 1 im oberen Bereich seiner Rückseite am Halter 3 zu sichern.The cover 2 is firmly connected to the holder 3. The cover 2 a molded projection 2e, which has a correspondingly shaped the upper end 3a of the holder 3 is pushed out precisely and by means of a Pin 5, which cooperates with a lock, not shown, on the holder is secured. The lock, not shown, also serves to hold the container 1 secure in the upper area of its back on the holder 3.

Wie der Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, hat die Abdeckung 2 an ihren Seitenflächen 2a einen überlappenden unteren Bereich 2b, 2f, wobei an der vorderen Kante 2f das Eingreifelement 2c in Form einer Nase angeformt ist. Die Nase 2c ragt in den Absatz 2g, welcher im zusammengesetzten Zustand, wie er in Figur 3c und Figur 5 dargestellt ist, durch die seitlich am Behälter 1 überstehenden Vorsprünge 1d ausgefüllt wird, wodurch es von der Seite so wirkt, als würde die Abdeckhaube eine gerade untere Kante haben.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the cover 2 has 2a on its side surfaces an overlapping lower area 2b, 2f, wherein at the front edge 2f Engagement element 2c is formed in the shape of a nose. The nose 2c protrudes into the Paragraph 2g, which in the assembled state, as shown in Figure 3c and Figure 5 is shown by the projections 1d projecting laterally on the container 1 is filled in, making it look from the side as if the cover have a straight bottom edge.

Die Figuren 3a bis 3c zeigen, wie der Abfallbehälter zusammengesetzt wird. Die Figur 4 zeigt eine Hinteransicht des erfindungsgemäßen Abfallbehälters. Es ist deutlich zu erkennen, dass der untere Rand 2b der Abdeckung 2 ebenso weit wie der Vorsprung 1d des Behälters über dessen Rand vorsteht, so dass sich auch eine glatte Außenkante auch im Bereich des Übergangs von der Haube 2, 2f zum Vorsprung 1d ergibt.Figures 3a to 3c show how the waste container is assembled. The FIG. 4 shows a rear view of the waste container according to the invention. It is can clearly be seen that the lower edge 2b of the cover 2 as far as the projection 1d of the container protrudes over the edge thereof, so that also a smooth outer edge also in the area of the transition from the hood 2, 2f to Projection 1d results.

Die Figur 5 zeigt wie der Behälter 1 an seiner Hinterseite unten mit der Befestigungsvorrichtung 1f des Halters 3 zusammenwirkt. Hierbei übergreift eine Nase 1g den Vorsprung 4 des Halters 3 im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Abfallbehälters, wodurch der Abfallbehälter nicht mit seiner Unterseite vom Halter 3 weggezogen werden kann und somit fest arretiert ist.Figure 5 shows how the container 1 at the back with the bottom Fastening device 1f of the holder 3 cooperates. Here one overlaps Nose 1g the projection 4 of the holder 3 in the assembled state of the Waste container, causing the waste container not to be with its bottom from the holder 3 can be pulled away and is therefore firmly locked.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass bei dieser Ausführungsform das Eingreifelement 2c in Gestalt eines nasenförmigen Vorsprungs auch am Ende 1e des Vorsprungs 1d des Behälters angeformt sein kann und dann der Absatz 2f der Haube 2 die Öffnung bzw. Aussparung zur Halterung bzw. seitlichen Arretierung der Haube aufweist.It goes without saying that in this embodiment the engaging element 2c in the form of a nose-shaped projection also at the end 1e of the projection 1d of the container can be formed and then the paragraph 2f of the hood 2 Opening or recess for holding or locking the hood on the side having.
