Description

I. AnwendungsgebietI. Field of application

Die Erfindung betrifft Container, insbesondere Abfallcontainer, wie sie zum Sammeln von Haus- und Industriemüll eingesetzt werden.The invention relates to containers, in particular waste containers, such as those for Collection of household and industrial waste can be used.

II. Technischer HintergrundII. Technical background

Derartige Container besitzen einen Deckel, der den Container in seiner Schließstellung verschließt, insbesondere vollständig verschließt, und je nach Bauform nach Erreichen eines bestimmten Punktes der Schließbewegung, des Totpunktes, aufgrund der Schwerkraft oder einer Federvorspannung sich selbsttätig in die vollständig geschlossene Schließstellung bewegt. Die dabei aufgebrachte Schließkraft hängt entweder von der Federvorspannung, oder auch vom Eigengewicht des Deckels, ab, und kann gerade bei Großbehältern, die typischerweise einen um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbaren Schwingdeckel, beispielsweise aus Metall, besitzen, so groß sein, daß ein während der Schließbewegung in den Spalt zwischen sich schließendem Deckel und dem Korpus des Containers gelangender Gegenstand oder eine Person festgehalten wird.Such containers have a lid that the container in its Locked position, especially completely closed, and depending on Design after reaching a certain point of the closing movement, the Dead center, due to gravity or a spring preload itself automatically moves to the fully closed closed position. The one there applied closing force depends either on the spring preload, or also on the weight of the lid, and can be the case with large containers typically a swing lid that can be swiveled around a horizontal axis, for example made of metal, be so large that one during the Closing movement in the gap between the closing lid and the Body of the object or person arriving becomes.

Hierbei sind besonders Kinder gefährdet, die aus Neugier den Kopf in den Container hineinstecken, und vom sich schließenden Deckel stranguliert werden könnten. Children who are out of curiosity are particularly at risk here Put the container in and be strangled by the closing lid could.

Um dies zu vermeiden, ist es beispielsweise bekannt, den Deckel so zu konstruieren, daß er den Korpus zwar in der Aufsicht betrachtet im geschlossenen Zustand vollständig abdeckt, jedoch an der Vorderfront ein ausreichend großer Abstand zwischen Oberkante des Korpus und Deckel verbleibt, damit z. B. ein Kind seinen Kopf auch im geschlossenen Zustand des Deckels noch herausziehen kann.To avoid this, it is known, for example, to close the lid in this way construct that he looks at the body in supervision in the closed Completely covering condition, however, a sufficiently large one at the front Distance between the upper edge of the body and the lid remains, so that, for. B. a Child's head still in the closed state of the lid can pull out.

Dies hat den Nachteil, daß der Container nicht vollständig geschlossen ist, und insbesondere Geruchsbelästigungen austreten können und auch Unbefugte weiter Abfall in den Container werfen können.This has the disadvantage that the container is not completely closed, and in particular, unpleasant smells can escape and unauthorized persons continue to do so Can throw waste in the container.

Ein weiteres Problem bei derart bekannten Kindersicherungen besteht darin, daß trotz der Kindersicherung die anderen Funktionen, beispielsweise die Möglichkeit des automatischen Ergreifens, Öffnens des Schwingdeckels und Entleerens des Containers durch ein Sammelfahrzeug, unter Umständen beeinträchtigt sind.Another problem with such known child locks is that despite the child lock, the other functions, such as the option automatic gripping, opening the swing lid and emptying the Containers may be affected by a collection vehicle.

Weiterhin ist es bekannt, bei derartigen Containern mit Schwingdeckel den Schwingdeckel in einer Zwischenstellung zwischen der vollständig offenen und vollständig geschlossenen Stellung fixieren zu können mittels Reibschluss oder kraftschlüssigem Einrasten. Zum vollständigen Schließen des Deckels muss der Deckel von Hand mit so großer Kraft in Richtung auf die Schließstellung bewegt werden, dass dieser Reibschluss oder diese Verrastung zwischen Deckel und Korpus überwunden wird. Ein separates Betätigungselement zum Deaktivieren des Verrastung bzw. des Reibschlusses ist nicht vorhanden. Diese Lösung zeigen beispielsweise die FR-A-2 602 216, DE 82 16 788 U, DE 30 13 308 A und GB 20 44 836 A.Furthermore, it is known in such containers with a swing lid Swing lid in an intermediate position between the fully open and to be able to fix completely closed position by means of friction or non-positive engagement. To close the lid completely, the Lid moved by hand with such great force towards the closed position be that this frictional engagement or this locking between the lid and Corpus is overcome. A separate actuator for deactivation the latching or the frictional connection is not available. Show this solution for example FR-A-2 602 216, DE 82 16 788 U, DE 30 13 308 A and GB 20 44 836 A.

Ein separates Betätigungselement zum Deaktivieren der Verriegelung zeigt als nächstreichender Stand der Technik US-4,460,105 und darüber hinaus auch US-5,511,807. Das Betätigungselement ist in beiden Fällen am Korpus angeordnet, und beide betreffen Behälter mit einem Klappdeckel und nicht mit einem Schwingdeckel. A separate actuator for deactivating the lock shows as closest prior art US 4,460,105 and beyond US 5,511,807. The actuator is on the body in both cases arranged, and both concern containers with a hinged lid and not with a swing lid.

III. Darstellung der ErfindungIII. Presentation of the invention a) Technische Aufgabea) Technical task

Es ist daher die Aufgabe gemäß der vorliegenden Eifindung, einen Container mit vollständig schließendem Deckel zu schaffen, der trotz der Beibehaltung der Schließkraft eine Sicherheitseinrichtung gegen das Einklemmen insbesondere eines Kindes zwischen dem Korpus und dem sich schließenden Deckel aufweist und dennoch automatisch von einem Sammelfahrzeug geleert vorzugsweise werden kann.It is therefore the task according to the present invention to use a container to create a fully closing lid that, despite maintaining the Closing force a safety device against pinching in particular of a child between the body and the closing lid and yet preferably automatically emptied from a collecting vehicle can be.

b) Lösung der Aufgabeb) solving the problem

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 und 2 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 2. advantageous Embodiments result from the subclaims.

Durch eine deaktivierbare formschlüssige Verrastung oder kraftschlüssige Bremse zwischen Deckel und Korpus des Containers in einer solchen Lage, in der noch kein Einklemmen zwischen Deckel und Korpus möglich ist, wird die Schließbewegung des Deckels gestoppt, es sei denn, daß die Verrastung bzw. Bremse deaktiviert wird.Through a deactivatable positive locking or non-positive brake between the lid and the body of the container in such a position, in the still no jamming between the lid and the body is possible Closing movement of the lid stopped, unless the locking or Brake is deactivated.

Die folgenden Ausführungen zur Verrastung gelten sinngemäß auch für eine Bremse.The following explanations for locking also apply to one Brake.

Dabei ist das Betätigungselement zum Deaktivieren der Verrastung entweder so angeordnet und/oder so ausgebildet, daß es von einem Kind nicht betätigt werden kann. The actuating element for deactivating the latching is either like this arranged and / or trained so that it can not be operated by a child can.

Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß zwei solcher Betätigungselemente gleichzeitig bedient werden müssen, und diese in einem so großen Abstand, beispielsweise an der Vorderkante des Deckels, voneinander angeordnet sind, daß dies die Griffweite eines Kindes übersteigt. Bei kleineren Behältern, etwa einer handelsüblichen Haushalts-Abfalltonne mit Klappdeckel, könnte die Anordnung im hinteren Bereich entweder der beiden Seitenwände oder dem hinteren Bereich des Deckels vorgenommen werden.One possibility is that two such actuators at the same time must be operated, and these at such a large distance, for example are arranged at the front edge of the lid, from each other, that this is the Reach of a child. For smaller containers, about one commercial household waste bin with hinged lid, the arrangement in the rear area of either the two side walls or the rear area of the lid.

Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, zwar nur ein Betätigungselement vorzusehen, dieses jedoch vom Kraftaufwand her so auszubilden, daß es von einem Kind nicht betätigt werden kann.Another possibility is to use only one actuating element to provide, however, from the effort so that it from cannot be operated by a child.

Weiterhin ist auch bei nur einem einzigen Betätigungselement die Möglichkeit gegeben, die Positionierung so zu wählen, daß es von einem Kind nicht erreicht werden kann, beispielsweise auf dem Deckel, jedoch ausreichend weit von der Vorderkante aus zurückversetzt, so daß dies die Greifweite eines Kindes übersteigt.Furthermore, the possibility is also with only a single actuating element given to choose the position so that it does not reach a child can be, for example on the lid, but sufficiently far from the Front edge set back from, so this is the reach of a child exceeds.

Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, das Betätigungselement in Form eines aus zwei Teilen bestehenden Griffes zu bilden, dessen Hälften gegeneinander bewegt werden müssen, wofür jedoch nur soviel Raum zur Verfügung steht, daß dies mit nur einer Hand geschehen kann. Wenn dabei entweder der Kraftaufwand und/oder der Ausgangsabstand der beiden Griffhälften so gewählt ist, daß dies mit einer Kinderhand nicht zu bewältigen ist, ist ebenfalls Kindersicherheit gegeben, so daß also ein Kind, welches aus Neugier den Kopf in den Container steckt, nicht gleichzeitig mittels des Betätigungselementes die Rastvorrichtung deaktivieren kann und somit nicht beim vollständigen Schließen des Deckels eingeklemmt werden kann.Another possibility is to make the actuator in the form of a to form two parts of existing handle, the halves of which move against each other must be, for which however there is only so much space available that this with can only happen to one hand. If doing so either the effort and / or the starting distance of the two handle halves is selected so that this with child's hand is not manageable, there is also child safety, so that a child who sticks his head into the container out of curiosity does not simultaneously deactivate the locking device by means of the actuating element can and therefore not get jammed when the lid is closed completely can be.

Je größer und schwerer ein Container und insbesondere dessen Deckel ist, um so dringender ist eine derartige Sicherheitseinrichtung. Entsprechend werden in erster Linie die bekannten, ca. 1.100 I fassenden, Rollcontainer mit einem um eine horizontale Achse im unteren Bereich des Korpus nach hinten zu öffnenden Schwingdeckel mit einer solchen Kindersicherung auszurüsten sein.The bigger and heavier a container and especially its lid, the more such a safety device is more urgent. Accordingly, in First and foremost, the well-known, approx. 1,100 I rolling containers with one by one horizontal axis in the lower area of the body opening towards the rear Swing cover must be equipped with such a child lock.

Ein derartiger Container ist bereits aufgrund der Größe und damit des Gewichts bzw. der durch eine Feder erzeugten Vorspannkraft des Schwingdeckels mit zwei Griffen an der Vorderkante oder auf der Oberseite des Schwingdeckels ausgestattet.Such a container is already due to the size and thus the weight or the pretensioning force of the swing lid generated by a spring with two Handles on the front edge or on the top of the swing lid fitted.

Eine bevorzugte Lösung, die insbesondere ein Nachrüsten derartiger Schwingdeckel-Container ermöglicht, besteht darin, den aktivierbaren und deaktivierbaren Rastvorsprung am Schwingdeckel anzuordnen, und das hierfür notwendige Betätigungselement an dem bereits vorhandenen Griff anzuordnen und insbesondere mit dem Griff funktionsvereinigt als Griff im Griff auszugestalten.A preferred solution, in particular the retrofitting of such swing lid containers enables, is to be activated and deactivated Arrange locking projection on the swing cover, and the necessary for this Arrange the actuator on the existing handle and Especially designed to functionally combined with the handle as a handle in the handle.

Die Rastaufnahme, mit welcher der aktivierbare und deaktivierbare Rastvorsprung zusammenwirkt, ist dann am Korpus des Containers, insbesondere im Bereich der Oberkante von dessen Seitenwänden, angeordnet.The locking receptacle with which the activatable and deactivatable locking projection interacts, is then on the body of the container, especially in the area of Upper edge of its side walls, arranged.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, als Betätigungselement einen fußbetätigten Hebel im Bodenbereich des Containers anzuordnen, wobei das Körpergewicht eines Erwachsenen notwendig ist, um den Rastvorsprung zurückzuziehen und damit zu deaktivieren und die Verrastung zu lösen. Wenn dabei der Fußhebel klein genug ausgebildet wird, um sicherzustellen, daß sich nicht mehrere Kinder gleichzeitig daraufstellen können, ist auch hierdurch eine Kindersicherung gegeben.Another possibility is to use a foot-operated actuator Arrange levers in the bottom area of the container, taking the body weight an adult is necessary to withdraw the locking projection and thus deactivate and release the latching. If the foot pedal is trained small enough to ensure that there are not several children Being able to stand on it at the same time is also childproof given.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, am Container oder vorzugsweise am Schwingdeckel, dabei insbesondere an dessen Vorderkante, zwei zueinander beabstandete Taster oder Zugknöpfe anzubringen, mit deren Hilfe die Kindersicherung deaktiviert werden kann, indem der Rastvorsprung aus dem Bereich der Rastaufhahmen herausgebracht, in der Regel herausgeschwenkt, wird. Beide Drücker oder Zugknöpfe müssen wie bei den vorbeschriebenen Möglichkeiten auch jeweils gleichzeitig betätigt werden, damit der Deckel vollständig geschlossen werden kann.Another possibility is on the container or preferably on Swing cover, especially on its front edge, two to each other to attach spaced buttons or pull buttons, with the help of the child lock can be deactivated by the locking projection from the area of Brought out rest, usually swung out, is. Both Push buttons or pull buttons must be the same as for the options described above can also be operated simultaneously so that the lid is completely closed can be.

Eine besonders einfache Möglichkeit besteht darin, einen solchen Drücker in der vertikalen Vorderkante des Schwingdeckels (2) in einer entsprechenden Bohrung anzuordnen, der sowohl diese Vorderkante, als auch eine dahinterliegende parallele Stegwand durchdringt.A particularly simple option is to use such a handle in the vertical front edge of the swing lid (2) in a corresponding hole to arrange, the front edge as well as one behind it parallel web wall penetrates.

Durch Eindrücken des Tasters wird ein Schwenkhebel unter dem Deckel verschwenkt und deaktiviert die Kindersicherung.By pressing the button, a swivel lever is located under the cover pivots and deactivates the child lock.

In allen vorgenannten Fällen kann es weiterhin sinnvoll sein, daß sich die Kindersicherung darüber hinaus auch automatisch selbst deaktiviert, und zwar für den Fall eines Kippens des gesamten Behälters nach vorne, wie es beim Entleeren des Behälters erfolgt. Dies kann deshalb notwendig sein, da bestimmte Vorrichtungen, die an den Sammelfahrzeugen zum automatischen Ergreifen, Hochheben und Entleeren des Containers benutzt werden, hierfür den Deckel zu Beginn des Vorganges in einer definierten Stellung, nämlich der vollständig geschlossenen Stellung, benötigen. Wenn nun ein Container entleert werden soll, der aufgrund der Kindersicherung nicht vollständig geschlossen ist, soll das vollständige Schließen des Deckels bei Beginn des Leerungsvorganges, nämlich beim Anheben und Hochkippen des Containers, selbsttätig erfolgen.In all of the above cases, it may still make sense that the Child lock is also automatically deactivated, for the case of the entire container tipping forward, as is the case with The container is emptied. This may be necessary because certain Devices for automatic gripping on the collection vehicles, Lifting and emptying the container are used, for this the lid Start of the process in a defined position, namely the complete one closed position, need. If a container is now to be emptied, who is not completely closed due to the child lock should complete closing of the lid at the start of the emptying process, namely when lifting and tipping up the container, take place automatically.

Für diesen Fall ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, den Rastkamm, in den der Rastvorsprung der Kindersicherung einrasten kann, aus dem Wirkbereich des Rastvorsprunges herauszuschwenken. Bei normaler, aufrecht stehender, Lage des Containers wird der Rastkamm z. B. von einer Feder in der aktivierten Position gehalten, und zusätzlich formschlüssig durch ein Verriegelungsteil gehalten. Das Verriegelungsteil selbst ist wiederum in seiner Position verlagerbar, und zwar aufgrund der Schrägstellung des Containers. Beim Kippen des Containers gibt das Verriegelungsteil den Rastkamm frei, und der mit immer größerer Kraft nach unten gegen den Rastkamm drückende Schwingdeckel überwindet im Laufe des Hochkippens des Contairiers die Kraft der Feder des Rastkammes.In this case, it is preferably provided that the locking comb into which Can lock the projection of the child lock, from the effective range of the Swing out the locking projection. In a normal, upright position the container is the locking comb z. B. from a spring in the activated Held in position, and additionally positively by a locking part held. The locking part itself can in turn be shifted in its position, because of the inclination of the container. When tilting the Containers releases the locking part of the locking comb, and that with always Swing cover pressing downward against the locking comb with greater force overcomes the force of the spring of the Rest comb.

Fig. 1a zeigt einen ca. 1.100 I fassenden Rollcontainer 1 mit einem Korpus 6, der an der Oberseite offen ist und von einem Schwingdeckel 2 verschlossen werden kann. Fig. 1a shows an approximately 1,100 I roll container 1 with a body 6, the is open at the top and closed by a swing lid 2 can.

Der Schwingdeckel 2 ist mittels Streben 15, die an der Außenseite der Seitenwände des Korpus 6 entlang nach unten reichen, schwenkbar um eine Schwenkachse 7 nahe dem Bodenbereich des Korpus 6 angeordnet, und kann von der in Fig. 1a dargestellten vollständig den Korpus 6 verschließenden Schließstellung aus nach hinten in eine öffnende Stellung verschwenkt werden, wie dies beispielsweise bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung anhand Fig. 1b dargestellt ist.The swing lid 2 is by means of struts 15 on the outside of the Side walls of the body 6 extend downwards, pivotable about one Pivot axis 7 arranged near the bottom of the body 6, and can of the body 6 completely shown in Fig. 1a Closed position can be pivoted backwards into an opening position, as is the case for example with the solution according to the invention with reference to FIG is shown.

Zum Bewegen des Deckels sind an dessen Vorderkante im Abstand voneinander zwei Griffe 9 angeordnet, die sich in einem Abstand von ca. 1 m voneinander befinden.To move the cover are at a distance from each other on its front edge two handles 9 are arranged, which are at a distance of about 1 m from each other are located.

Der Deckel 2 ist mittels einer Feder 16 in die Schließstellung vorgespannt, die zwischen der Strebe 15 und dem Korpus 6 angeordnet ist, entweder wie dargestellt angreifend an einem von der Schwenkachse 7 der Strebe 15 entfernten Punkt oder auch als Drehfeder um die Schwenkachse 7 herum.The cover 2 is biased into the closed position by means of a spring 16 is arranged between the strut 15 and the body 6, either as shown attacking a remote from the pivot axis 7 of the strut 15 Point or as a torsion spring around the pivot axis 7.

Der gesamte Container 1 ist fahrbar mit Hilfe von Rollen 17, die an bzw. unter dem Boden des Korpus 6 befestigt sind.The entire container 1 is mobile with the help of rollers 17 which on or under the Bottom of the body 6 are attached.

Fig. 1b zeigt einen Container gemäß Fig. 1a, jedoch in der geöffneten Position, also mit teilweise aufgeschwenktem Deckel 2, und zusätzlich mit einer Rastvorrichtung zwischen Deckel 2 und Korpus 6, von welcher in Fig. 1b die am Korpus 6 angeordneten Rastaufnahmen 4 zu erkennen sind: Die Rastvorrichtung ist besser in der Schnittdarstellung gemäß den Figuren 2 dargestellt, wie im folgenden beschrieben.1b shows a container according to FIG. 1a, but in the open position, So with the lid 2 partially swung open, and additionally with one Locking device between cover 2 and body 6, of which in Fig. 1b Body 6 arranged catch receptacles 4 can be seen: The locking device is better shown in the sectional view according to Figures 2, as in described below.

Die Rastaufnahmen 4 sind dabei als Vertiefungen in einem Rastkamm 18 ausgebildet, welche - wie in Fig. 1b dargestellt - auf den bogenförmigen oberen Kanten der Seitenwände 6a, 6b des Korpus 6 angeordnet ist oder auch seitlich auf der Innen- oder Außenseite dieser Seitenwände angeordnet sein können, wobei der Rastkamm 18 nicht über die Oberkanten der Seitenwände 6a, 6b vorstehen muß. The locking receptacles 4 are in the form of depressions in a locking comb 18 formed, which - as shown in Fig. 1b - on the arcuate upper Edges of the side walls 6a, 6b of the body 6 is arranged or laterally on the inside or outside of these side walls can be arranged, wherein the locking comb 18 does not protrude above the upper edges of the side walls 6a, 6b got to.

Die Rastaufnahmen 4 im Rastkamm 18 sind der Schließbewegung des Schwingdeckels 2 entgegengerichtet schräg gestellt, so daß ein am Schwingdeckel 2 angeordneter Rastvorsprung beim Schließen automatisch in eine der Rastaufnahmen 4 einfährt, sofern er nicht vorher in die deaktivierte, den Kontakt mit den Rastaufnahmen 4 bzw. dem Rastkamm 18 verhindernden, Stellung zurückgezogen wird.The locking receptacles 4 in the locking comb 18 are the closing movement of the Swing cover 2 is placed obliquely opposite, so that one on the swing cover 2 arranged locking projection automatically when closing in one of the Rastaufnahmen 4 retracts, unless he has previously deactivated the contact with the locking receptacles 4 and the locking comb 18 preventing position is withdrawn.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen eine Möglichkeit eines solchen in die aktivierte Lage vorgespannten, deaktivierbaren Rastvorsprunges 3, wobei entsprechend dem Rastkamm 4 eine solche Vorrichtung an beiden Seiten, also nahe den beiden Seitenwänden 6a, 6b, vorhanden ist.Figures 2 and 3 show a possibility of such in the activated position Prestressed, deactivatable locking projection 3, which corresponds to the Locking comb 4 such a device on both sides, ie close to the two Side walls 6a, 6b, is present.

Wie die Figuren 2 zeigen, besteht der Griff 9 des Schwingdeckels 2 in einer frontseitigen Öffnung zwischen dem eigentlichen Deckel 2 und einer damit verbundenen, im Bereich des Griffes darunter im Abstand angeordneten Griffleiste 9', die für das Heranziehen des Schwingdeckels 2 vom Benutzer ergriffen werden muß.As the figures 2 show, the handle 9 of the swing lid 2 consists of one front opening between the actual cover 2 and a so connected, in the area of the handle below it arranged spaced handle bar 9 ', which are taken by the user for pulling the swing lid 2 got to.

Als Betätigungselement dient eine Zugstange 5, die ebenfalls im Bereich der Griffleiste 9' parallel und im Abstand zu dieser in der aktivierten Stellung vom Benutzer aus gesehen hinter der Griffleiste 9' in einem solchen Abstand angeordnet ist, daß die Zugstange 5 von einem in die Öffnung des Griffes 9 hineingestreckten Hand ergriffen und durch Bilden einer Faust an die Griffleiste 9' herangezogen werden kann.A pull rod 5, which is also in the area of the Handle bar 9 'parallel and at a distance from it in the activated position from Seen from behind the handle bar 9 'at such a distance is arranged that the pull rod 5 from one in the opening of the handle 9th grasped hand and by forming a fist on the handle 9 ' can be used.

Die Zugstange 5 ist an ihren Enden jeweils mit dem freien Ende eines Schwenkhebels 11 verbunden, deren andere Enden mit einer Schwenkwelle 12 drehfest verbunden sind, welche in einem Lagerbock 20 verschwenkbar gelagert ist, der an der Unterseite des Schwingdeckels 2 befestigt ist.The pull rod 5 is at its ends with the free end of each Connected pivot lever 11, the other ends with a pivot shaft 12th are rotatably connected, which is pivotally mounted in a bearing block 20 is attached to the underside of the swing lid 2.

Die Schwenkwelle 12 weist - bei Betrachtung des Containers von vorne - von der Zugstange 5 aus jeweils nach außen in die Richtung auf die Seitenwand 6a bzw. 6b des Containers bzw. in Richtung auf die Rastaufnahmen 4, so daß das freie Ende der Schwenkwelle 12 in den Rastkamm 18 und dessen Rastaufnahmen 4 eingreifen kann. Ein in und aus dem Wirkungsbereich des Rastkammes 4 durch Drehen bewegbarer Rastvorsprung 3 wird dadurch erzielt, daß die Schwenkwelle 12 ein S-förmig aus der Längsrichtung 10 herausgekröpftes Ende aufweist.The pivot shaft 12 points - when viewing the container from the front - from the Drawbar 5 outwards in the direction of the side wall 6a or 6b of the container or in the direction of the locking receptacles 4, so that the free End of the pivot shaft 12 in the locking comb 18 and its locking receptacles 4th can intervene. A in and out of the effective range of the locking comb 4 Rotating movable locking projection 3 is achieved in that the pivot shaft 12 has an S-shaped end which is cranked out of the longitudinal direction 10.

Bei aktivierter Stellung, wie in Fig. 2a dargestellt, spannt die Griffeder 19, die zwischen dem Schwenkhebel 11 - wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt -, oder dem gekröpften Rastvorsprung 3 - wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt - und der Unterseite des Schwingdeckels 2 angeordnet ist, den Rastvorsprung 3 soweit nach unten, daß beim Schließen des Deckels der Rastvorsprung 3 in eine der Rastaufnahmen 4 des Rastkammes 18 einfährt, und dadurch die Schließbewegung des Schwingdeckels 2 gestoppt wird, indem entweder für den Schwenkhebel 11 ein Endanschlag, z. B. am Lagerbock 20, für diese aktivierte Stellung vorgesehen ist, oder die Erstreckung der Kröpfung 13 quer zur Längsrichtung 10 größer ist als'der Abstand zwischen dem tiefsten Punkt einer der Rastaufnahmen 4 einerseits und der Schwenkwelle 12 andererseits, gemessen lotrecht zum oberen Rand der Seitenwand 16a, 16b.When activated, as shown in Fig. 2a, the handle spring 19, the between the pivot lever 11 - as shown in Fig. 2 -, or the cranked Locking projection 3 - as shown in Fig. 3 - and the underside of the swing lid 2 is arranged, the locking projection 3 as far down that at Closing the lid of the locking projection 3 in one of the locking receptacles 4 of the Locking comb 18 retracts, and thereby the closing movement of the swing lid 2 is stopped by either an end stop, for. B. on the bearing block 20, is provided for this activated position, or the Extension of the crank 13 transverse to the longitudinal direction 10 is greater than the distance between the lowest point of one of the locking receptacles 4 on the one hand and the Swivel shaft 12, on the other hand, measured perpendicular to the upper edge of the Sidewall 16a, 16b.

Wie in Fig. 2a dargestellt, kann durch Ergreifen der Zugstange 5 und Heranziehen an die Griffleiste 9' der ebenfalls drehfest mit der Schwenkwelle 12 verbundene Rastvorsprung 3 soweit hoch geschwungen werden, daß er oberhalb des Rastkammes 18 liegt, und dadurch über den Rastkamm 18 beim Schließen des Schwingdeckels 2 hinwegbewegt wird, wodurch der Rastvorsprung 3 und damit die gesamte Rastvorrichtung sich in der deaktivierten Lage befindet.As shown in Fig. 2a, by pulling the pull rod 5 and pulling it to the handle bar 9 'which is also connected to the swivel shaft 12 in a rotationally fixed manner Locking projection 3 are swung high enough that it is above the Latching comb 18 lies, and thereby over the locking comb 18 when the Swing cover 2 is moved away, whereby the locking projection 3 and thus the entire locking device is in the deactivated position.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform außerhalb der Erfindung. Dabei ist der bewegliche Rastvorsprung am Korpus 6 angeordnet, und zwar in dessen einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden, vorzugsweise im oberen Bereich, so daß nur ein Erwachsener mit seiner Armspannweite diese beiden Betätigungselemente gleichzeitig betätigen kann. Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment outside the invention. Here is the Movable locking projection arranged on the body 6, namely in each other opposite side walls, preferably in the upper area, so that only an adult with his arm span these two actuators can operate simultaneously.

Das Betätigungselement ist ein Druck/Zug-Taster 14, der sich durch die Seitenwand 6a, 6b des Korpus 6 hindurch erstreckt, und in Richtung nach außen mittels einer Feder 19', etwa einer Spiralfeder, gegenüber der Seitenwand 6a, 6b vorgespannt ist, so daß für das Eindrücken des Druck/Zug-Tasters 14 von außen weiter nach innen die Kraft dieser Feder 19' überwunden werden muß.The actuator is a push / pull button 14, which extends through the side wall 6a, 6b of the body 6 extends through, and towards the outside by means of a spring 19 ', such as a spiral spring, biased against the side wall 6a, 6b is, so that for pushing in the push / pull button 14 from the outside the force of this spring 19 'must be overcome internally.

innerhalb des Korpus weist der Druck/Zug-Taster 14 einen seitlich abstehenden, insbesondere nach oben weisenden Vorsprung 14' auf, der in der in Fig. 4a, linke Seite dargestellten aktivierten Position mit einer Rastaufnahme 4", die von der Unterseite des Schwingdeckels 2 nach unten ragt, zusammenwirkt, und damit dessen Schließbewegung stoppt.Within the body, the push / pull button 14 has a protruding, in particular upward-pointing projection 14 ', that in the left in Fig. 4a Page shown activated position with a locking receptacle 4 "by the Bottom of the swing cover 2 protrudes downwards, cooperates, and thus its closing movement stops.

Der Rastvorsprung 4" und/oder der Druck/Zug-Schafter 14 sind dabei in einer solchen Position entlang der Seitenwand 6a angeordnet, daß beim Anliegen der beiden Elemente aneinander noch ein ausreichend großer Spalt zwischen der Vorderkante des Schwingdeckels 2 und der Frontwand des Korpus 6 offen bleibt, um hier ein Einklemmen von Körperteilen, insbesondere des Kopfes oder Halses eines Kindes, zuverlässig zu vermeiden.The locking projection 4 "and / or the push / pull shaft 14 are in one such a position along the side wall 6a that when the a sufficiently large gap between the two elements The front edge of the swing lid 2 and the front wall of the body 6 remains open, to pinch body parts, especially the head or neck a child to avoid reliably.

Anstelle der Rastaufnahme 4" auf der Innenseite des Schwingdeckels 2 könnten auch direkt die außen an den Seitenwänden 6a des Korpus nach unten führenden Streben 15 des Deckels benutzt werden. Das Eindrücken des Druck/Zug-Tasters 14 muß dann soweit erfolgen, daß die Strebe 15 über das frei außen liegende Ende dieses Tasters hinweggleiten kann.Instead of the catch 4 "on the inside of the swing lid 2 could also directly leading downwards on the outside of the side walls 6a of the body Struts 15 of the lid can be used. Pressing the push / pull button 14 must then take place so far that the strut 15 over the free outside End of this button can slide away.

Ebenso ist es als weitere Bauform gemäß der Erfindung möglich, einen solchen Druck/Zug-Schalter statt an dem Korpus 6 an dem Schwingdeckel 2 oder dessen Streben 15 anzuordnen, und die damit zusammenwirkende Rastaufnahme am Korpus.It is also possible as a further design according to the invention to use such a push / pull switch instead of on the body 6 to be arranged on the swing lid 2 or its struts 15, and thus interacting catch on the body.

In der rechten Bildhälfte der Fig. 4a ist die deaktivierte Stellung des Druck/Zug-Tasters 14 dargestellt, in welcher dessen Vorsprung 14' soweit zur Mitte des Containers 1 hin verlagert ist, daß er nicht mehr mit der Rastaufnahme 4" in Eingriff gerät. In Fig. 4b und 4c ist die Rastvorrichtung in der Aufsicht dargestellt. Dabei ist ersichtlich, daß die Rastaufnahme 4" und/oder der Rastvorsprung 14' in Bewegungsrichtung 21 der gegenseitigen Relativbewegung so angelegt sind, daß beim Öffnen, also der Bewegung der Rastaufnahme 4" von vorne nach hinten, die Schräge am entgegengerichteten Bauteil bzw. bei zwei einander entgegengerichteten Schrägen, die so aufeinander abgleiten, daß der Druck/Zug-Schalter 14 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 19' zur Mitte des Containers hin verlagert wird und der Deckel ohne Betätigung der Druck/Zug-Taste geöffnet werden kann, wie in Fig. 4c dargestellt. Bei der Schließbewegung, wie in Fig. 4b gezeichnet, liegen die Rastaufnahme 4" und der Vorsprung 14' dagegen mit Kontaktflächen, die im rechten Winkel zur Bewegungsrichtung 21 verlaufen, gegeneinander an und beenden den Schließvorgang.In the right half of Fig. 4a is the deactivated position of the push / pull button 14 shown, in which its projection 14 'so far to the middle of the Containers 1 is shifted out that he no longer with the locking receptacle 4 "in Intervention device. 4b and 4c, the latching device is shown in a top view. It is can be seen that the locking receptacle 4 "and / or the locking projection 14 'in Movement direction 21 of the mutual relative movement are so created that when opening, ie the movement of the locking receptacle 4 "from front to back, the Slant on the opposing component or two opposing components Slopes that slide so that the push / pull switch 14th against the force of the spring 19 'is shifted towards the center of the container and the lid can be opened without pressing the push / pull button, as in Fig. 4c shown. In the closing movement, as shown in Fig. 4b, the Locking receptacle 4 "and the projection 14 'on the other hand with contact surfaces which in run at right angles to the direction of movement 21, against each other and finish the closing process.

Die Lösung der Fig. 5 unterscheidet sich von derjenigen der Fig. 3 in der Gestalt, Lagerung und Betätigung der Kröpfung 13' und deren Rastvorsprung 3, welcher in die Rastaufnahme 4 eingreifen kann:5 differs from that of FIG. 3 in the form Storage and actuation of the crank 13 'and its locking projection 3, which in the locking receptacle 4 can intervene:

In Fig. 5 ist ein Schwingdeckel 2 zu erkennen, der an seiner Vorderkante einen vertikal nach unten weisenden, frei endenden Schenkel als Rand 25 besitzt, und im Abstand dahinter eine ebenfalls von der Hauptfläche des Deckels 2 nach unten weisende, ebenfalls unten frei endenden Steg 26.In Fig. 5, a swing lid 2 can be seen, the one on its front edge has vertically downward-pointing, free-ending leg as edge 25, and at a distance behind it also from the main surface of the cover 2 down pointing web 26 that also ends at the bottom.

An der Rückseite dieses Steges 26 ist über Lagerböcke 20' - wie besser in der Aufsicht auf den Container bei teilweise frei geschnittenem Deckel in der Fig. 6 zu erkennen - die Schwenkwelle 12' schwenkbar und parallel zur Vorderkante des Deckels, also parallel zur Richtung der Schwenkachse 7' des Schwingdeckels, gelagert.At the back of this web 26 is over bearing blocks 20 '- how better in the Top view of the container with the lid partly cut free in FIG. 6 recognize - the pivot shaft 12 'pivotable and parallel to the front edge of the Cover, that is parallel to the direction of the pivot axis 7 'of the swing cover, stored.

Von diesem Hauptteil der Schwenkwelle 12' weist am einen Ende - vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildet aus Stahlrundmaterial - die S-förmige Kröpfung 13 mit ihrem Rastvorsprung 3 als freiem Endschenkel nach unten, während am anderen Ende eine einfache Kröpfung als Schwenkhebel 11 nach oben weist. Dieses freie Ende des Schwenkhebels 11 durchdringt eine Vermittlungsstange 24 durch ein Langloch 22 hindurch.Of this main part of the pivot shaft 12 'has at one end - preferably formed in one piece from steel round material - the S-shaped crank 13 with their locking projection 3 as a free end leg down while on the other End has a simple offset as a pivot lever 11 upwards. This free End of the pivot lever 11 penetrates a switching rod 24 through Elongated hole 22 through.

Die Vermittlungsstange 24 ist Teil des Drucktasters 14', der durch den Steg 26 und den Rand 25 hindurch etwa horizontal und quer zur Richtung des Hauptteiles der Schwenkwelle 12' und damit auch quer zur Richtung 7' der Schwenkachse des Schwingdeckels angeordnet ist.The switching rod 24 is part of the push button 14 ', which is through the web 26th and the edge 25 approximately horizontally and transversely to the direction of the main part the pivot shaft 12 'and thus also transversely to the direction 7' of the pivot axis of the Swing lid is arranged.

Der Zugtaster 14 besteht aus dieser Vermittlungsstange 24, die an dem von dem Langloch 22 abgewandten, vorderen Ende mit einem Drücker 23 verbunden ist, der durch den Rand 25 nach außen ragt, und ein vorderes verdicktes Ende aufweist, so daß er nicht durch die Bohrung im Rand 25 hindurch nach innen gedrückt werden kann.The pull switch 14 consists of this switching rod 24, which on the Long end 22 facing away from the front end is connected to a pusher 23, which protrudes through the edge 25, and a front thickened end has, so that it does not pass through the bore in the edge 25 inwards can be pressed.

Der Drücker 23 weist an seinem hinteren Ende eine hinterschnittene Aussparung zum Einstecken der Vermittlungsstange 24 auf, die zu diesem Zweck, also zur formschlüssigen Verbindung mit dem Drücker 23, fehlende Rastnasen aufweist, so daß nach Zusammenstecken die beiden Teile fest miteinander verbunden sind. Vor dem Ineinanderrasten der beiden Teile wird eine spiralförmige Feder 16 über die Vermittlungsstange 24 gesteckt und befindet sich damit zwischen dem Steg 26 und dem Rand 25. Die Feder 16' stützt sich damit einerseits an der Vorderseite des Steges 26 und andererseits an der hinteren Stirnseite des Drückers 23 ab, drückt damit den Drücker 23 in die in Fig. 5a dargestellte nach außen vorstehende Position und andererseits den Rastvorsprung 3 in der aktivierten Lage, also ggf. eingerastet in der Rastaufnahme 4.The pusher 23 has an undercut recess at its rear end to plug in the switching rod 24, which is used for this purpose positive connection with the pusher 23, has missing locking lugs, so that after plugging together the two parts are firmly connected. Before the two parts snap together, a spiral spring 16 is placed over the switching rod 24 is inserted and is thus between the web 26th and the edge 25. The spring 16 'is supported on the one hand on the front of the web 26 and on the other hand on the rear end of the pusher 23, thus presses the pusher 23 into the protruding portion shown in FIG. 5a Position and on the other hand the locking projection 3 in the activated position, that is, if necessary snapped into the catch 4.

Durch Drücken, also nach innen Schieben des Drückers 23 wird die Kraft der Feder 16' überwunden, das freie Ende des Schwenkhebels 11' im Uhrzeigersinn um die Schwenkachse, also das Hauptteil der Schwenkwelle 12, verdreht und damit der Rastvorsprung 3 der Kröpfung 13 außerhalb des Bereiches des Rastkammes 18 gebracht. By pressing, that is to say pushing the push button inwards, the force of the Spring 16 'overcome, the free end of the pivot lever 11' clockwise about the pivot axis, ie the main part of the pivot shaft 12, rotated and so that the locking projection 3 of the crank 13 outside the area of Rest comb 18 brought.

In der Aufsicht der Fig. 6 ist zu erkennen, daß die Rastaufnahmen 4 sich an den Seitenwänden des Korpus 6 des Containers befinden, und die Drücker 23 demgegenüber versetzt etwas zur Mitte der Frontseite des Containers 1 hin. Der Abstand der beiden Drücker 23 ist dabei jedoch immer noch so groß, daß nur ein Erwachsener, nicht jedoch ein Kind, beide Drücker 23 gleichzeitig betätigen kann.In the supervision of Fig. 6 it can be seen that the locking receptacles 4 to the Sidewalls of the body 6 of the container are located, and the pusher 23rd in contrast, something is offset towards the center of the front of the container 1. The Distance between the two pushers 23 is still so large that only one Adult, but not a child, can press both pushers 23 simultaneously.

Fig. 7 zeigt die Schwerkraftdeaktivierung der gesamten Kindersicherung nach einer der vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsformen.Fig. 7 shows the gravity deactivation of the entire child safety device one of the above-described embodiments.

Die Fig. 7 stellt eine Ansicht in Blickrichtung z. B. der Figuren 3 und 5 von innen auf die Seitenwand des Containers dar, jedoch unter Weglassung des Deckels und der darin untergebrachten Kindersicherung.Fig. 7 shows a view in the direction z. B. Figures 3 and 5 from the inside on the side wall of the container, but omitting the lid and the child lock housed in it.

In Fig. 7 ist zu erkennen, wie anstelle eines fest montierten Rastkammes 18, der eine oder mehrere Rasten aufweisen kann, ein schwenkbarer Rastkamm 18' Verwendung findet, der in der in Fig. 7 dargestellten aktiven Position über den Rand 8 der Wand des Korpus 6 vorsteht und seine Funktion als Rastkamm 18' erfüllt.In Fig. 7 it can be seen how, instead of a fixed locking comb 18, the can have one or more notches, a pivotable detent comb 18 ' Is used, the in the active position shown in Fig. 7 over the Edge 8 of the wall of the body 6 protrudes and its function as a locking comb 18 ' Fulfills.

Der Rastkamm 18' ist Teil eines plattenförmigen Kammteiles 29, welches um eine Achse 27, welche lotrecht zur Wandung des Korpus 6 verläuft, parallel zu diesem so befestigt ist, daß in der in Fig. 7 dargestellten aktiven Position der Rastkamm 18' nach außen ragt, indem das Kammteil 29 mit einem Anschlag 30 gegen eine Unterkante des Korpus 6 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn (bei dieser dargestellten linksseitigen Ausführung, betrachtet von der Frontseite des Containers 1 aus). In dieser Lage wird das Kammteil 29 zum einen durch eine Zugfeder 28 zwischen Kammteil 29 und Korpus vorgespannt, und zusätzlich in dieser Position durch eine Nase 34 formschlüssig gehalten mittels einer gegen die Nase 34 drückenden Sperrklinke 35.The locking comb 18 'is part of a plate-shaped comb part 29, which by a Axis 27, which runs perpendicular to the wall of the body 6, parallel to this is attached so that in the active position shown in Fig. 7, the locking comb 18 'protrudes outwards by the comb part 29 with a stop 30 against one Lower edge of the body 6 counterclockwise (shown here left-hand version, viewed from the front of container 1). In this position is the comb part 29 between a tension spring 28 between Comb part 29 and body biased, and additionally in this position by a Nose 34 held in a form-fitting manner by means of a pushing against the nose 34 Pawl 35.

Die Sperrklinke 35 ragt radial nach innen in Richtung auf die Achse 27 zu, und ist Bestandteil des Verriegelungsteiles 31, welches ebenfalls als plattenförmiges Teil parallel zur Wand des Korpus 6 schwenkbar um eine Achse 27' gelagert ist. Die Achsen 27 und 27' befinden sich dabei auf einer Linie, die etwa quer zum Rand 8 des Korpus 6 verläuft.The pawl 35 projects radially inwards in the direction of the axis 27, and is Part of the locking part 31, which is also a plate-shaped part parallel to the wall of the body 6 is pivotally mounted about an axis 27 '. The Axes 27 and 27 'are located on a line that is approximately transverse to edge 8 of the body 6 runs.

Das Verriegelungsteil 31 hängt mit dem Großteil seiner Fläche und damit seiner Masse von der Achse 27' nach unten, während die Sperrklinke 35 am freien Ende eines nach oben ragenden Fortsatzes angeordnet ist.The locking part 31 hangs with most of its surface and thus its Mass down from axis 27 'while pawl 35 is at the free end an upwardly projecting extension is arranged.

Wird nun der Container und dessen Korpus 6 gekippt, also die Achse 27 bezüglich der Achse 27' gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verlagert, so bleibt das Verriegelungsteil 31 aufgrund der Schwerkraft bezüglich seiner Achse 27' in der gleichen Position wie bisher, so daß die Sperrklinke 35 außer Eingriff der Nase 34 des Kammteiles 29 gerät.If the container and its body 6 are now tilted, ie with respect to the axis 27 the axis 27 'shifted counterclockwise, the locking member remains 31 due to gravity with respect to its axis 27 'in the same position as before, so that the pawl 35 out of engagement of the nose 34 of the comb part 29 devices.

Die Bewegungsmöglichkeit des Verriegelungsteiles 31 ist durch eine an der Unterkante vorgesehene Aussparung 33 und einen dort hineinragenden Fortsatzes 32, der fest bezüglich des Korpus 6 montiert ist, beschränkt.The possibility of movement of the locking part 31 is by a on the lower edge provided recess 33 and an extension 32 protruding there, which is fixed with respect to the body 6, limited.

Nach Freigabe der Nase 34 wird das Kammteil 29 nur noch durch die Kraft der Drehfeder 28 in Position gehalten.After release of the nose 34, the comb part 29 is only by the force of Torsion spring 28 held in position.

Durch das Kippen des Behälters wird jedoch die Bewegungsbahn des Schwingdeckels entlang des Randes 8 des Korpus 6 immer steiler, und damit die auf den Rastkamm 18' drückende Gewichtskomponente des Deckels immer größer, bis diese Gewichtskraft die Kraft der Drehfeder 28 überwindet, und das Kammteil 29 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn um die Achse 27 verschwenkt, und der Rastvorsprung 3 den Rastkamm 18' überwindet mit der Folge einer vollständigen Schließung des (nicht dargestellten) Deckels 2.By tilting the container, however, the movement path of the swing lid along the edge 8 of the body 6 ever steeper, and thus the on Locking comb 18 'pressing weight component of the lid is always larger until this weight force overcomes the force of the torsion spring 28 and the comb part 29 pivoted counterclockwise about the axis 27, and the locking projection 3 overcomes the locking comb 18 'with the result of a complete closure of the Cover (not shown) 2.

Die Drehachsen 27 und 27' einschließlich des Verriegelungsteiles 31 sind zur Sicherung gegenüber Verschmutzung von einem Gehäuse 36 aufgenommen, zu dem vorzugsweise auch der Fortsatz 32 gehört. The axes of rotation 27 and 27 'including the locking part 31 are for Protection against contamination from a housing 36 added which preferably also includes the extension 32.
