Description

Zerleg- und faltbare Preßvorrichtung zum Bündeln von Reisig, Sträuchern und ähnlichem länglichen AbfallgutDisassemblable and foldable press device for bundling brushwood, shrubs and similar elongated waste
Die Erfindung betrifft eine zerleg- und faltbare Bündelvorrichtung zum gepreßten Zusammenbinden von Reisig, Sträuchern und ähnlichem länglichen Abfallgut unter Verwendung von wenigstens zwei im Abstand nebeneinander angeordneten etwa halbkreisähnlichen Formstücken zur Aufnahme des Preßgutes und hieran angelenkte halbkreisförmige mit einem u-förmigen Handgriff verbundene Ausbuchtungen zum Pressen, wobei die Vorderstützen in Verlängerung über der Ebene der Preßgutauflage mit bogenförmigen Enden versehen sind, die in der geöffneten Arbeitsstellung mit den Preßbügeln eine etwa kreisförmige Aufnahme für das zu bündelnde Preßgut bilden, sowie eine Einrichtung zum Festhalten des pressenden Handgriffs.The invention relates to a collapsible and foldable bundling device for pressing together twigs, shrubs and similar elongated waste material using at least two spaced, approximately semicircular shaped pieces for receiving the material to be pressed, and articulated semicircular bulges connected to a U-shaped handle for pressing , The front supports are provided in an extension above the level of the material to be pressed with arcuate ends, which form an approximately circular receptacle for the material to be bundled in the open working position with the pressing, and a device for holding the pressing handle.
Eine derartige Preßvorrichtung zum Bündeln von Reisig und dergleichen ist unter anderem bereits aus der DE-PS 567 324 bekannt, bei der mittels zwei in einem Abstand zueinander angeordneten bogenförmigen Preßbügeln, die über einen u-förmigen Handgriff verbunden sind, und mit dem das zu bündelnde Gut in entsprechend bogenförmigen Formstücken zusammenpreßbar ist.Such a pressing device for bundling brushwood and the like is already known, among other things, from DE-PS 567 324, in which by means of two spaced-apart arch-shaped press brackets, which are connected via a U-shaped handle, and with which the bundled Is well compressible in appropriately arcuate shaped pieces.
Die bekannten Vorrichtungen dieser und ähnlicher Art sind auf einer zur Vorrichtung gehörenden Arbeitsplatte montiert und stellen eine schwere Arbeitsvorrichtung dar, die auf einem Arbeitstisch aufgestellt werden kann und einen großen Platz benötigt. Diese bekannten Vorrichtungen sind sehr sperrig im Aufbau und dienen überwiegend der gewerblichen Nutzung, zum Beispiel der Besenherstellung. Eine derartige Vorrichtung zum Bündeln von Reisigwellen ist beispielsweise aus der CH PS 74 096 bekannt. Die aus T-Eisen bestehenden Stützen und Streben lassen sich nach Art einer Kneifzange nur unzureichend um eine Faltachse zusammenfalten, dabei bleiben die sperrig ausladenden, gutaufnehmenden Bogen weit im Räume stehen. Eine weitere Faltung für ein enges, raumsparendes Zusammenlegen der Vorrichtung ist bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nicht vorgesehen. Der weitere Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Vorrichtung im ausgeschwenkten Zustand keine starre für die sichere Handhabung erforderliche Verriegelung aufweist, sondern nur eine Kette. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung darin, daß keine gutaufnehmende Auflage vorhanden ist, die aber unbedingt erforderlich ist, um kurzstielige Gartenabfälle in das im Abstand von zwei vertikalen Ebenen zur Längsachse gepreßte und gebundene Bündel sicher einzuschließen.The known devices of this and similar type are mounted on a worktop belonging to the device and represent a heavy work device that can be set up on a work table and requires a large space. These known devices are very bulky in construction and are mainly used for commercial purposes, for example broom production. Such a device for bundling brushwood waves is known for example from CH PS 74 096. The supports and struts made of T-iron can only be folded inadequately around a folding axis like a pair of pliers, while the bulky, well-absorbing arches remain far in the room. A further folding for a narrow, space-saving folding of the device is not provided in this known device. The further disadvantage is that the device in the swung-out state does not have a rigid lock required for safe handling, but only a chain. Another disadvantage of this known device is that there is no well-received pad, which is, however, absolutely necessary to safely enclose short-stemmed garden waste in the bundle pressed and bound at a distance of two vertical planes from the longitudinal axis.
Diese Nachteile weist auch die Vorrichtung aus der CH PS 74 811 auf, mit der die Aufgaben der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht durchführbar sind. Die Reisig aufnehmenden Bogenstücke sind nicht einschwenkbar und ebenso fehlt die erforderliche Gutaufnahme. Außerdem sind die außerhalb der Stützen angeordneten pressenden Bogen für eine zum Boden gerichtete Pressung ungeeignet.These disadvantages also have the device from CH PS 74 811, with which the objects of the present invention cannot be carried out. The sticks that take up brushwood cannot be swung in and there is also no required pick-up. In addition, the pressing arches arranged outside the supports are unsuitable for pressing directed towards the floor.
•Eine weitere Vorrichtung zum Bündeln von Heizwellen ist durch die CH PS 120 123 bekannt, die sich nur geringfügig von den vorbeschriebenen bekannten Vorrichtungen unterscheidet. Die kneifzangenartig einschwenkbaren Stützen bringen nur eine geringe Raumeinsparung. Weil eine weitere Möglichkeit zum Zusammenlegen fehlt, ist eine angestrebte enge raumsparende Faltung bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nicht möglich. Eine für die Aufgaben der vorliegenden Erfindung erforderliche Gutaufnahme ist bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nicht vorgesehen. Ferner sind auch Führungen für die Umleitung des Bindematerials, wie Garn oder Draht bekannt, um das in der Vorrichtung befindliche Gut in der gepreßten Form einzubinden und zu verknüpfen.• Another device for bundling heating waves is known from CH PS 120 123, which differs only slightly from the known devices described above. The supports, which can be swiveled in like pliers, save only a small amount of space. Because there is no other possibility of folding, a tight, space-saving folding is not possible in this known device. This known device does not provide for a good reception required for the purposes of the present invention. Furthermore, guides for the redirection of the binding material, such as yarn or wire, are known in order to bind and link the material in the device in the pressed form.
In der fast 100jährigen Zeit sind diese Vorrichtungen, insbesondere zur Herstellung von Reisigbesen, wegen Entwicklung neuer Fertigungstechniken vom Markt verschwunden.In almost 100 years, these devices, especially for the production of brush brooms, have disappeared from the market due to the development of new manufacturing techniques.
Für die Aufgaben der rationellen Abfallbeseitigung fehlen jedoch zweckmäßige Vorrichtungen, um nach den vorgeschriebenen Bestimmungen die Entsorgung nach den gesetzlichen Auflagen vornehmen zu können.For the tasks of rational waste disposal, however, there are no suitable devices in order to be able to dispose of them in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Das bedeutet, daß es schwierig ist, Reisig und anderes langgestrecktes Gut, wie Schilfhalme, Zweige, Stöcke, Dornen vom Heckenschnitt in der vorgeschrieben Weise zu bündeln und die Bündel auf die vorgeschriebene maximale Länge abzuschneiden.This means that it is difficult to bundle brushwood and other elongated goods such as reeds, twigs, sticks, thorns from the hedge cut in the prescribed manner and to cut the bundles to the prescribed maximum length.
Die bekannten Vorrichtungen sind für private, der Müllabfuhr dienenden Haushalte zu schwer, unpraktisch und wegen dem erforderlichen Platzbedarf kaum unterzubringen. Ferner sind diese bekannten Vorrichtungen „unzweckmäßig, um sie zum Gebrauchsort, im Garten, auf dem Gehsteig bei der Heckenplege, im Obstgarten und dergleichen leicht zu transportieren und aufzustellen.The known devices are too heavy, impractical and difficult to accommodate because of the space required for private, waste disposal households. Furthermore, these known devices are “ inconvenient to easily transport and set them up to the place of use, in the garden, on the sidewalk at the hedging plant, in the orchard and the like.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, unter Verwendung einer Vorrichtung zum Bündeln von Reisig eingangs genannter Gattung zu entwickeln, die faltbar auf geringsten Raum abstellbar und leicht im Gewicht ist, daß sie von einer untrainierten Person bequem ohne Anstrengung transportiert werden kann, sowie schnell und problemlos zu einer vollfunktionsfähigen Bündelvorrichtung ohne in Anspruchnahme von Werkzeug aufstellbar ist.The object of the present invention is to develop using a device for bundling brushwood of the type mentioned above, which can be folded down in the smallest space and is light in weight, so that it can be easily transported by an untrained person without effort can be set up quickly and easily to a fully functional bundling device without the use of tools.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung eingangs genannter Art mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The stated object is achieved with a device of the type mentioned at the outset with the characterizing features of claim 1.
Eine derartig ausgebildete Bündelvorrichtung weist im zusammengeklappten Zustand so geringe Abmessungen auf, daß sie auf schmälster Stelle abgestellt oder an der Wand, zum Beispiel in der Garage, abgestellt oder aufgehängt werden kann. Für die Benutzung sind lediglich die beiden vorderen Stützen auszuklappen, in die eine ausschwenkbare Gutsablage einrastbar ist, um schnell eine auf vier Stützen ruhende stabile und kippsichere Vorrichtung zu bilden. Ferner soll eine derartige Vorrichtung raumsparend für den Versand zu verpacken und einfach montierbar sein.A bundle device designed in this way has such small dimensions in the folded state that it can be parked at the narrowest point or placed on the wall, for example in the garage, or hung up. For use, only the two front supports have to be folded out, into which a swiveling goods shelf can be snapped in order to quickly form a stable and tip-proof device resting on four supports. Furthermore, such a device should be packaged in a space-saving manner for shipping and should be easy to assemble.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen wird die Erfindung in den Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail in the drawings using exemplary embodiments.

In der Fig.1 ist die aufgestellte betriebsfertige Vorrichtung 1 zum Bündeln von Reisig, langgestrecktem Gut, wie Zweige, Halmgut und dergleichen perspektivisch dargestellt. Die an den hinteren Stützen (2) angelenkten Vorderstützen (3) und die Preßgutauflage (4) sind vorgeklappt, wobei die an den Vorderstützen (3) angeordneten Verbindungszapfen (5) in die entsprechend ausgebildeten Öffnungen (6), in Figur 2 und 3 ersichtlich, der4 shows a cutting device which can be attached to the device according to FIG. 1 and has an adjustable cutting length, FIG. 5 shows an arrangement of the brake ring, FIG. 6 shows a device with wheels and FIG. 7 shows an embodiment with scissor-shaped supports. 1 shows the ready-to-use device 1 for bundling brushwood, elongated material, such as branches, straw material and the like, in perspective. The front supports (3) articulated on the rear supports (2) and the material support (4) are folded forward, the connecting pins (5) arranged on the front supports (3) into the correspondingly formed openings (6), shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the
Preßgutsauflage (4) eingerastet sind. Dadurch wird eine stabile, auf vier Stützen (2, 3) ruhende Arbeitsvorrichtung geschaffen, die auf jedem Boden, auf dem Rasen oder auf geplastertem Boden einen sicheren Stand bietet. Anstatt der Zapfenverbindung können auch Haken an der Preßgutauflage 4 vorgesehen werden, die beispielsweise in nicht dargestellte Ösen an den Vorderstützen 3 oder an den Gelenkstreben 7 eingreifen.Press material support (4) are engaged. This creates a stable working device resting on four supports (2, 3), which offers a safe stand on any floor, on the lawn or on paved ground. Instead of the pin connection, hooks can also be provided on the pressed material support 4, which engage, for example, in eyelets (not shown) on the front supports 3 or on the articulated struts 7.
In der Ausgangsposition befindet sich der u-förmige Handgriff 8 mit den bogenförmigen Preßbügeln 9 in der strichpunktierten oberen Stellung. Die zu bündelnden Zweige werden auf die Preßgutauflage 4 aufgelegt. In der Preßfunktion wird der Handgriff 8 in Pfeilrichtung 10 herunter gedrückt, wobei die gepreßten Zweige zwischen den bogenförmigen Preßbügeln 9 und den bogenförmigen Enden 11 der Vorderstützen 3 zu einem Bündel zusammengepreßt werden.In the starting position, the U-shaped handle 8 with the arcuate press brackets 9 is in the dash-dotted upper position. The branches to be bundled are placed on the material support 4. In the pressing function, the handle 8 is pressed down in the direction of the arrow 10, the pressed branches being compressed into a bundle between the arc-shaped press brackets 9 and the arc-shaped ends 11 of the front supports 3.
An den Vorderstützen 3 befindet sich zweckmäßig ein Halter 12 für das Bindematerial, zum Beispiel für ein Bindegarnknäuel 13, wobei das freie Ende des Fadens 14 über die Führungshaken 15 an den Preßbügeln 9 geführt ist. Im gepreßten Zustand kann das Bindemittel an dem angeordneten Fadentrenner 16 abgeschnitten und die Enden zur Herstellung des Bündels miteinander verknotet werden. Ferner kann das gebündelte Gut auf die zulässige maximale Länge von Hand oder mittels einer nicht unbedingt erforderlichen ansetzbaren Schneidvorrichtung 17 abgeschnitten werden, wie im folgenden zu der Figur 4 beschrieben ist. Mit einer derartigen Schneidvorrichtung 17 ist die Schnittlänge einstellbar und bedarf dann keiner weiteren Kontrolle der Bündellänge.On the front supports 3 there is expediently a holder 12 for the binding material, for example for a ball of twine 13, the free end of the thread 14 being guided over the guide hooks 15 on the press brackets 9. In the compressed state, the binding agent can be cut off on the arranged thread separator 16 and the ends can be knotted together to produce the bundle. Furthermore, the bundled material can be cut to the permissible maximum length by hand or by means of an attachable cutting device 17 which is not absolutely necessary, as described below in relation to FIG. With such a cutting device 17, the cutting length is adjustable and then requires no further control of the bundle length.
Das Zusammenlegen der benutzten Vorrichtung ist den Figuren 1 bis 3 zu entnehmen. Zunächst wird der Preßbügel 9 in die strichpunktierte Position nach oben geschwenkt. Danach werden die beiden Vorderstützen 3 in Pfeilrichtung 18 in die strichpunktierte Position nach außen geschwenkt, wobei die Preßgutauflage 4 entriegelt wird und um ihre Achse 20 nach unten schwenkt. Dieser Vorgang ist iri der Fig.2 dargestellt.The folding of the device used can be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3. First, the press bracket 9 is pivoted upwards into the dot-dash position. The two front supports 3 are then pivoted outward in the direction of the arrow 18 into the dash-dotted position, the pressed material support 4 being unlocked and pivoting downward about its axis 20. This process is shown in Fig.2.
Von der Position der Fig. 2 ausgehend, werden die Vorderstützen 3 in entgegengesetzter Pfeilrichtung 18 nach innen geschwenkt und durch den herunterzuschwenkenden Preßbügel 9 arretiert. Dadurch ist die errfindungsgemäße Bündelvorrichtung auf die geringste Tiefe zusammengefaltet und kann so äußerst raumsparend abgestellt werden. Diese praktische Ruheposition ist in der Fig. 3 dargestellt. In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausbildung können auch die bogenförmigen Ausbuchtungen 11 an den Vorderstützen 3 umklappbar ausgebildet sein, wie in der Figur 4 dargestellt ist.Starting from the position in FIG. 2, the front supports 3 are pivoted inward in the opposite direction of the arrow 18 and locked by the press bracket 9 to be swung down. As a result, the bundling device according to the invention is folded to the smallest depth and can be parked in an extremely space-saving manner. This practical rest position is shown in FIG. 3. In a further advantageous embodiment, the arcuate bulges 11 on the front supports 3 can also be designed to be foldable, as shown in FIG.
Die Gelenke 31 können in den Gelenkstreben 7 auch mittig angordnet werden, wie es in Figur 4 dargestellt ist. Hierdurch können die Vorderstützen 3 direkt an die hinteren Stützen 2 herangeschwenkt werden.The joints 31 can also be arranged centrally in the joint struts 7, as shown in FIG. 4. As a result, the front supports 3 can be pivoted directly onto the rear supports 2.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann, wie bereits vorbeschrieben, eine einfache Schneidvorrichtung 17 an der Vorrichtung zum Bündeln zusätzlich eingehängt werden. Beispielweise kann die Anbringung einer derartigen Schneidvorrichtung 17 durch einfaches Einschieben von Einschubelementen 21 in die an den Gelenkstreben 7 befindlichen Bohrungen 22 erfolgen, wie in der Fig. 4 dargestellt ist.In a further advantageous embodiment, as already described above, a simple cutting device 17 can be attached to the bundling device can also be attached. For example, such a cutting device 17 can be attached by simply inserting insertion elements 21 into the bores 22 located on the articulated struts 7, as shown in FIG. 4.
Eine derartige Schneidvorrichtung 17 kann ohne Befestigungsmittel nur durch Umstecken der Begrenzungsstifte 23 in den Anschlaglöchern 24 in die gewünschte Arbeitsposition gebracht werden.Such a cutting device 17 can be brought into the desired working position without fastening means only by repositioning the limiting pins 23 in the stop holes 24.
Die Schneidvorrichtung 17 besteht aus einem feststehenden Messer 25 mit daran befestigten Einschiebelementen 21 , zum Beispiel in Form von Rohren, in denen in Abständen eine Vielzahl von Anschlaglöchern 24 für das Einstecken von Begrenzungsstiften 23 zur Einstellung der Einschubtiefe und damit zur Einstellung der gewünschten Schnittlänge angeordnet sind. Ferner ist hieran eine Bodenstütze 26 befestigt, um den Schneiddruck des Schwingmessers 27 aufzunehmen. Eine derartige Schneidvorrichtung 17 kann beliebig an beiden Seiten der Vorrichtung 1 zum Bündeln angesetzt werden.The cutting device 17 consists of a fixed knife 25 with attached insertion elements 21, for example in the form of tubes, in which a plurality of stop holes 24 are arranged at intervals for the insertion of limiting pins 23 for adjusting the insertion depth and thus for adjusting the desired cutting length . Furthermore, a floor support 26 is fastened to this in order to absorb the cutting pressure of the oscillating knife 27. Such a cutting device 17 can be attached to either side of the device 1 for bundling.
Um das Preßgut in der gepreßten Form zum Zusammenbinden festzuhalten, sind auf den bogenförmigen Enden 11 der Vorderstützen 3 aufsteckbare Bremsringe 19 angeordnet, die ein stufenloses Festhalten des Preßbügels 9 mit dem Preßgut ermöglicht, wie aus der Figur 5 ersichtlich ist.In order to hold the material to be pressed in the pressed form for binding, plug-on brake rings 19 are arranged on the curved ends 11 of the front supports 3, which enable the pressing bracket 9 to be held in place with the material to be pressed, as can be seen from FIG.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Preßvorrichtung können die beiden hinteren Stützen 2 auch einstückig, zum Beispiel in Form eines u- förmigen Bügels 32, hergestellt sein. Hierdurch können die sonst erforderlichen stabilisierenden Verstrebungen 30 zwischen den beiden hinteren Stützen 2 eingespart und damit die Fertigung vereinfacht werden. Die Figur 6 zeigt ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, bei der die Vorderstützen 3 über eine faltbare Gelenkverbindung 34 mit den hinteren Stützen 2 verbunden sind und in der dargestellten Pfeilrichtung nach dem Hochschwenken der eingehakten Preßgutauflage 4 auf engstem Raum zusammenklappbar sind. Ferner sind an dieser Vorrichtung zusätzlich Räder 33 angeordnet. Damit kann die aufgestellte Vorrichtung mittels der Handgriffe 35 von einer Person schnell zu einem anderen Arbeitsplatz gefahren werden.In a further advantageous embodiment of the pressing device, the two rear supports 2 can also be made in one piece, for example in the form of a U-shaped bracket 32. As a result, the otherwise required stabilizing struts 30 between the two rear supports 2 can be saved and the production can thus be simplified. FIG. 6 shows a further advantageous exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the front supports 3 are connected to the rear supports 2 via a foldable articulated connection 34 and can be folded in the narrowest space in the direction of the arrow after the hooked-up pressed material support 4 has been swung up. Wheels 33 are also arranged on this device. In this way, the set-up device can be quickly moved from one person to another work station by means of the handles 35.
In der Figur 7 ist noch ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Vorrichtung mit an sich bekannten faltbaren Scherenstützen 36 dargestellt. Bei der die gezeigte Arbeitsstellung zum Beispiel allein durch die oben in die Scherenstützen 36 eingreifenden Zapfen 37 der eingehakten Preßgutauflage 4 erzielbar ist. A further exemplary embodiment of the device with foldable scissor supports 36 known per se is shown in FIG. In which the working position shown can be achieved, for example, solely by the pins 37 of the hooked pressing material support 4 which engage into the scissor supports 36 at the top.
