Description

I. AnwendungsgebietI. Field of application

Die Erfindung betrifft Container, insbesondere Abfallcontainer, wie sie zum Sammeln von Haus- und IndustriemĂĽll eingesetzt werden.The invention relates to containers, in particular waste containers, as they are used for collecting domestic and industrial waste.

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 which closes the container in its closed position, in particular completely closes, and depending on the design after reaching a certain point of the closing movement, the dead center, due to gravity or spring preload moves automatically into the fully closed closed position. The closing force applied in this case depends either on the spring preload or on the dead weight of the cover, and can be so large that a during the closing movement, especially in large containers, which typically have a pivotable about a horizontal axis swing cover, for example made of metal in the gap between the closing lid and the body of the container passing object or a person is held.

Hierbei sind besonders Kinder gefährdet, die aus Neugier den Kopf in den Container hineinstecken, und vom sich schließenden Deckel stranguliert werden könnten.Especially children are endangered who, out of curiosity, put their heads into the container and could be strangled by the closing lid.

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 construct the lid so that it covers the body while viewed in the closed state completely covers, however, remains at the front of a sufficiently large distance between the upper edge of the body and lid so z. B. a child can still pull his head in the closed state of the lid.

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 odor nuisance can escape and even unauthorized persons can throw more waste into 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 safety devices is that despite the parental control, the other functions, such as the possibility of automatic gripping, opening the swing lid and emptying the container by a collection vehicle, may be affected.

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 to be able to fix the swing lid in an intermediate position between the fully open and fully closed position by means of frictional or non-positive engagement in such containers with swing lid. To fully close the lid, the lid must be moved by hand with such great force towards the closed position that this frictional engagement or this locking between the lid and the body is overcome. A separate actuator for disabling the locking or the frictional engagement is not present. This solution, for example, the 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 disabling the lock shows as a well-known prior art US 4,460,105 and beyond US 5,511,807 , The actuator is arranged in both cases on the body, and both relate to 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 object of the present Eifindung to provide a container with fully closing the lid, despite the retention of the closing force has a safety device against the pinching particular child between the body and the closing lid and yet automatically emptied of a collection vehicle preferably can be.

b) Lösung der Aufgabeb) Solution of the task

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 claim 1 and 2. Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.

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.By a deactivatable positive locking or non-positive brake between the lid and body of the container in such a position in which no pinching between the lid and body is possible, the closing movement of the lid is stopped, unless the latch or brake is disabled ,

Die folgenden Ausführungen zur Verrastung gelten sinngemäß auch für eine Bremse.The following explanations for locking apply mutatis mutandis to a 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.In this case, the actuating element for disabling the latching is either arranged and / or designed so that it can not be operated by a child.

Die Lösung besteht darin, daß zwei solcher Betätigungselemente in Form von Drücke gleichzeitig bedient werden müssen, und diese in einem so großen Abstand, an der Vorderkante des Deckels, voneinander angeordnet sind, daß dies die Griffweite eines Kindes übersteigt.The solution is that two such actuators in the form of pressures must be operated simultaneously, and these are arranged at such a large distance, at the front edge of the lid, from each other that this exceeds the reach of a child.

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 larger and heavier a container and in particular its lid, the more urgent is such a safety device. Accordingly, the known, about 1.100 I comprehensive, roll container be equipped with a about a horizontal axis in the lower region of the body to the rear opening swing lid with such a child safety device.

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 equipped due to the size and thus the weight or the biasing force of the swing lid generated by a spring with two handles on the front edge or on the top of the swing lid.

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 that allows in particular retrofitting such swing lid container is to arrange the activatable and deactivatable locking projection on the swing lid, and to arrange the necessary actuator on the existing handle and in particular functionally with the handle function as handle in the handle to design.

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 cooperates, is then arranged on the body of the container, in particular in the region of the upper edge of its side walls.

Die Lösung besteht darin, am Schwingdeckel, dabei 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.The solution is to attach to the swing lid, while at the front edge, two spaced buttons or pull buttons, with the help of the child safety can be disabled by the locking projection brought out of the field of Rastaufhahmen, usually swung out, is. Both pushers or pull buttons must be operated simultaneously as in the above-described options, so that the lid can be completely closed.

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 possibility is to arrange such a pusher in the vertical front edge of the swing cover (2) in a corresponding bore, which penetrates both this leading edge, as well as a lying behind it parallel web wall.

Durch EindrĂĽcken des Tasters wird ein Schwenkhebel unter dem Deckel verschwenkt und deaktiviert die Kindersicherung.By pressing the button, a swivel lever is pivoted under the lid and disables the parental control.

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 the above cases, it may also be useful that the child safety also automatically disables itself, in the event of tilting of the entire container forward, as is done when emptying the container. This may be necessary because certain devices that are used on the collection vehicles for automatically gripping, lifting and emptying the container, this need the lid at the beginning of the process in a defined position, namely the fully closed position. Now, if a container to be emptied, which is not completely closed due to the child safety, the complete closing of the lid at the beginning 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.For this case, it is preferably provided that the latching comb into which the latching projection of the childproof lock can engage can be swiveled out of the effective range of the latching projection. In normal, upright, position of the container, the locking comb z. B. held by a spring in the activated position, and in addition positively held by a locking member. The locking member itself is in turn displaceable in its position, due to the inclination of the container. When tilting the container, the locking member releases the locking comb, and with ever greater force down against the locking comb pushing swing cover overcomes the force of the spring of the locking comb in the course of high tilting of the Contairiers.

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 1100 I summarizing roll container 1 with a body 6, which is open at the top and can be closed by a swing cover 2.

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 pivotally arranged about a pivot axis 7 near the bottom portion of the body 6 by means of struts 15 extending down the outside of the side walls of the body 6, and may be of the kind described in US Pat Fig. 1a shown completely closing the body 6 closed position can be pivoted from the rear to an opening position, as shown for example in the inventive solution Fig. 1b 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 lid two handles 9 are arranged at the front edge at a distance from each other, which are located at a distance of about 1 m from each other.

Der Deckel 2 ist mittels einer Feder 16 in die SchlieĂźstellung 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 lid 2 is biased by a spring 16 in the closed position, which is arranged between the strut 15 and the body 6, either as shown attacking on a point remote from the pivot axis 7 of the strut 15 point or as a torsion spring about the pivot axis 7 around.

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 movable by means of rollers 17 which are fixed to or under the bottom of the body 6.

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. Fig. 1b shows a container according to Fig. 1a , However, in the open position, so with partially pivoted cover 2, and additionally with a locking device between the cover 2 and the body 6, of which in Fig. 1b the arranged on the body 6 locking receptacles 4 can be seen: The locking device is better in the sectional view according to the Figures 2 shown as 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 formed as depressions in a locking comb 18 which - as in Fig. 1b shown - on the arcuate upper edges of the side walls 6a, 6b of the body 6 is arranged or can be arranged laterally on the inside or outside of these side walls, wherein the locking comb 18 does not have to project beyond the upper edges of the side walls 6a, 6b.

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 oppositely inclined, so that a swing lid 2 arranged locking projection automatically engages when closing in one of the locking receptacles 4, unless he previously in the 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.The Figures 2 and 3 show a possibility of such biased in the activated position, deactivatable locking projection 3, wherein according to the locking comb 4, such a device on both sides, ie near the two side walls 6a, 6b, is present.

Wie die Figuren 2 zeigen, besteht der Griff 9 des Schwingdeckels 2 in einer frontseitigen Ă–ffnung zwischen dem eigentlichen Deckel 2 und einer damit verbundenen, im Bereich des Griffes darunter im Abstand angeordneten Griffleiste 9', die fĂĽr das Heranziehen des Schwingdeckels 2 vom Benutzer ergriffen werden muĂź.As the Figures 2 show the handle 9 of the swing lid 2 in a front opening between the actual cover 2 and an associated, in the region of the handle below spaced gripping bar 9 ', which must be taken for the attraction of the swing lid 2 by the user.

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:The solution of Fig. 5 is different from the one of Fig. 3 in the shape, storage and operation of the crank 13 'and the locking projection 3, which can engage in the locking receptacle 4:

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 is a swing lid 2 can be seen, which has at its front edge a vertically downwardly facing, free-ending leg as edge 25, and at a distance behind a likewise from the main surface of the lid 2 facing down, also down freely ending web 26th

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 about bearing blocks 20 '- as better in the plan view of the container with partially free cut lid in the Fig. 6 to recognize - the pivot shaft 12 'pivotally and parallel to the front edge of the lid, that is parallel to the direction of the pivot axis 7' of the swing lid 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 integrally formed of steel round material - the S-shaped crank 13 with its locking projection 3 as a free end leg down, while at the other end a simple cranking as a pivot lever 11 points upward. This free end of the pivot lever 11 penetrates a switching rod 24 through a slot 22 therethrough.

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 ', by the web 26 and the edge 25th is arranged approximately horizontally and transversely to the direction of the main part of the pivot shaft 12 'and thus also transversely to the direction 7' of the pivot axis of the swing cover.

Der Zugtaster 14 besteht aus dieser Vermittlungsstange 24, die an dem von dem Langloch 22 abgewandten, vorderen Ende mit einem DrĂĽcker 23 verbunden ist, der durch den Rand 25 nach auĂźen ragt, und ein vorderes verdicktes Ende aufweist, so daĂź er nicht durch die Bohrung im Rand 25 hindurch nach innen gedrĂĽckt werden kann.The pull button 14 consists of this switching rod 24 which is connected at the remote from the slot 22, the front end with a pusher 23 which projects through the edge 25 to the outside, and has a front thickened end, so that he does not through the hole can be pressed in the edge 25 inside.

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 at its rear end an undercut recess for insertion of the exchange bar 24, which has for this purpose, so for the positive connection with the pusher 23, missing latches, so that after mating the two parts are firmly connected. Before the interlocking of the two parts, a helical spring 16 is placed over the exchange rod 24 and is thus located between the web 26 and the edge 25. The spring 16 'is supported on the one hand on the front side of the web 26 and on the other hand on the rear end side of the Pusher 23 from, presses the pusher 23 in the in Fig. 5a illustrated outwardly projecting position and on the other hand, the locking projection 3 in the activated position, so possibly engaged in the locking receptacle. 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, ie inwardly pushing the pusher 23, the force of the spring 16 'is overcome, the free end of the pivot lever 11' in the clockwise direction about the pivot axis, so the main part of the pivot shaft 12, rotated and thus the locking projection 3 of the crank 13 outside of Area of the ridge 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 the Fig. 6 It can be seen that the locking receptacles 4 are located on the side walls of the body 6 of the container, and the pushers 23 in contrast offset something to the center of the front side of the container 1 out. However, the distance between the two pushers 23 is still so large that only an adult, but not a child, both pushers 23 can operate simultaneously.

Fig. 7 zeigt die Schwerkraftdeaktivierung der gesamten Kindersicherung nach einer der vorbeschriebenen AusfĂĽhrungsformen. Fig. 7 shows the gravity deactivation of the entire child safety device according to 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.The Fig. 7 represents a view in the direction z. B. the Figures 3 and 5 from the inside on the side wall of the container, but with the omission of the lid and housed in it child safety.

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 ĂĽber den Rand 8 der Wand des Korpus 6 vorsteht und seine Funktion als Rastkamm 18' erfĂĽllt.In Fig. 7 It can be seen how instead of a fixedly mounted locking comb 18, which may have one or more detents, a pivotable locking comb 18 'is used, which in the in Fig. 7 shown active position protrudes beyond the edge 8 of the wall of the body 6 and its function as a locking comb 18 'fulfilled.

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 portion 29 which is mounted about an axis 27 which is perpendicular to the wall of the body 6, parallel to this so that in the in Fig. 7 shown active position protrudes by the comb member 29 with a stop 30 against a lower edge of the body 6 in the counterclockwise direction (in this left-hand embodiment, viewed from the front of the container 1). In this position, the comb part 29 is biased by a tension spring 28 between the comb portion 29 and the body, and additionally positively held in this position by a nose 34 by means of a pressing against the nose 34 pawl 35th

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 inwardly in the direction of the axis 27, and is part of the locking member 31, which is also mounted as a plate-shaped part parallel to the wall of the body 6 pivotally about an axis 27 '. The axes 27 and 27 'are located on a line which extends approximately transversely to the edge 8 of the body 6.

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 member 31 depends with most of its surface and thus its mass from the axis 27 'down, while the pawl 35 is disposed at the free end of an upwardly projecting extension.

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.Now, if the container and its body 6 tilted, so the axis 27 relative to the axis 27 'displaced counterclockwise, the locking member 31 remains due to gravity with respect to its axis 27' in the same position as before, so that the pawl 35 except Intervention of the nose 34 of the comb portion 29 device.

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 member 31 is limited by a recess 33 provided on the lower edge and a projection 32 projecting therefrom, which is fixedly mounted with respect to the body 6.

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 held only in position by the force of the torsion spring 28.

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 trajectory of the swing cover along the edge 8 of the body 6 is getting steeper, and thus the weight on the locking comb 18 'pressing weight component of the lid until this weight overcomes the force of the torsion spring 28, and the comb portion 29th pivoted counterclockwise about the axis 27, and the locking projection 3, the locking comb 18 'overcomes with the result of a complete closure of the lid (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 member 31 are received to protect against contamination of a housing 36, to which preferably also the extension 32 belongs.
