Description
La présente invention concerne les bacs roulants pour la collecte des déchets, du type comportant une cuve montée sur roulettes et un couvercle à fermeture assistée, monté pivotant par rapport à la cuve grâce à des bras latéraux solidaires du couvercle et articulés sur les parois latérales de la cuve.The present invention relates to rolling bins for the collection of waste, of the type comprising a vessel mounted on wheels and a lid with assisted closure, pivotally mounted relative to the tank through side arms integral with the lid and articulated on the side walls of tank.
Il existe un besoin pour améliorer la sécurité de ce type de bac en cas d'utilisation par des enfants, afin d'éviter notamment des accidents lors de la fermeture du couvercle.There is a need to improve the safety of this type of bin when used by children, in particular to avoid accidents when closing the lid.
On a ainsi proposé de munir l'avant du couvercle d'une bavette comme représenté dans le modèle international DM/044 354. Une telle solution est satisfaisante du point de vue de la sécurité mais la bavette, constituée d'une pluralité de bandes de caoutchouc juxtaposées, ne permet pas d'obtenir toute l'herméticité souhaitée en position fermée du couvercle.It has thus been proposed to provide the front of the lid with a flap as shown in the international model DM / 044 354. Such a solution is satisfactory from the point of view of safety but the bib, consisting of a plurality of strips of rubber juxtaposed, does not achieve all the desired hermeticity in the closed position of the lid.
La société déposante a déjà décrit dans FR-A-2 602 216 et GB-A- 2 044 836 des bacs roulants pour la collecte des déchets, comportant une cuve montée sur roulettes et un couvercle à fermeture assistée, monté pivotant par rapport à la cuve grâce à des bras latéraux solidaires du couvercle et articulés sur les parois latérales de la cuve et comportant un dispositif pour bloquer le couvercle dans une position intermédiaire avant que celui-ci n'atteigne sa position de fermeture complète, position intermédiaire dans laquelle la cuve et le couvercle ménagent un espace d'une largeur prédéterminée.The applicant company has already described in FR-A-2 602 216 and GB-A-2 044 836 rolling bins for the collection of waste, comprising a tank mounted on wheels and a lid with assisted closure, pivotally mounted relative to the tank with side arms integral with the lid and articulated on the side walls of the tank and having a device for locking the lid in an intermediate position before it reaches its fully closed position, intermediate position in which the tank and the cover provide a gap of a predetermined width.
Cet espace est en général suffisant pour permettre le passage de la tête d'un enfant d'une dizaine d'années et si le dispositif de blocage est défaillant, le couvercle risque de se refermer sur la tête de l'enfant.This space is usually sufficient to allow the passage of the head of a child of about ten years and if the locking device is faulty, the cover may close on the child's head.
Un second bac roulant est décrit dans la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 979 786 publiée le 16 février 2000 et désignant les Etats contractants suivants: Autriche, Belgique, Allemagne, Espagne, France, Grande-Bretagne, Irlande, Italie, Pays-Bas et Portugal, laquelle demande relève de l'article 54(3) CBE. Selon l'invention, le dispositif pour bloquer le couvercle est un dispositif sécurité agencé de manière à nécessiter pour son déverrouillage une action spécifique à exercer simultanément en deux emplacements du couvercle, suffisamment éloignés l'un de l'autre pour qu'un enfant ne puisse normalement pas y parvenir.A second wheeled bin is described in the European Patent Application EP-A-0 979 786 published on February 16, 2000 and designating the following Contracting States: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Country Netherlands and Portugal, which falls under Article 54 (3) EPC. According to the invention, the device for locking the lid is a safety device arranged so as to require for its unlocking a specific action to be exercised simultaneously in two locations of the lid, sufficiently distant from each other for a child to can not normally do it.
Le dispositif de sécurité peut être agencé de telle manière que l'action de déverrouillage spécifique doive s'exercer à l'intérieur de renfoncements du couvercle, prévus de préférence sur l'avant de celui-ci.The safety device can be arranged in such a way that the specific unlocking action must be carried out inside the recesses of the lid, preferably provided on the front thereof.
Il peut s'agir par exemple d'actionner des leviers accessibles à l'intérieur des renfoncements du couvercle, ces leviers devant être actionnés simultanément pour permettre au couvercle de se fermer complètement.It may be for example to operate levers accessible within lid recesses, which levers must be actuated simultaneously to allow the lid to close completely.
De préférence néanmoins le dispositif de sécurité est agencé de telle manière que l'action de déverrouillage spécifique doive s'exercer sur deux manettes, prévues de préférence sur l'avant du couvercle.Preferably, however, the safety device is arranged in such a way that the specific unlocking action must be exerted on two levers, preferably provided on the front of the lid.
Ces manettes peuvent être avantageusement disposées de manière à permettre à un utilisateur de les manoeuvrer en appuyant dessus avec les pouces tout en prenant appui avec les autres doigts sur des poignées du couvercle, logées de préférence dans les renfoncements de celui-ci.These levers can be advantageously arranged so as to allow a user to maneuver by pressing with the thumbs while bearing with the other fingers on handles of the lid, preferably housed in the recesses thereof.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le dispositif de sécurité comporte deux leviers montés à rotation chacun sur le couvercle et aptes à venir en butée par une extrémité sur une surface d'appui solidaire d'une paroi latérale de la cuve pour maintenir le couvercle dans ladite position intermédiaire.In a particular embodiment, the safety device comprises two levers each rotatably mounted on the lid and capable of abutting at one end on a support surface secured to a side wall of the tank to hold the lid in said position. intermediate.
Dans une réalisation particulière, chaque levier est monté à pivotement sur le couvercle autour d'un axe géométrique de rotation sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe géométrique de rotation du couvercle.In a particular embodiment, each lever is pivotally mounted on the lid about a geometric axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the geometric axis of rotation of the lid.
En variante, chaque levier est monté à rotation autour d'un axe géométrique de rotation sensiblement parallèle à l'axe géométrique de rotation du couvercle.Alternatively, each lever is rotatably mounted about a geometric axis of rotation substantially parallel to the geometric axis of rotation of the lid.
Chaque levier peut alors être commandé en rotation par une manette telle que précitée, étant relié à cette manette par l'intermédiaire d'un bras muni en extrémité d'une fourchette ou d'une lumière équivalente, ce bras étant agencé de telle sorte qu'une rotation de la manette entraîne une rotation du levier.Each lever can then be controlled in rotation by a lever as aforesaid, being connected to this lever by means of an arm provided at the end with a fork or equivalent light, this arm being arranged in such a way that rotation of the lever causes rotation of the lever.
Avantageusement, chaque manette est rappelée dans sa position initiale par des moyens de rappel élastiques, constitués de préférence par un ressort hélicoïdal de même axe que l'axe géométrique de rotation de la manette.Advantageously, each handle is returned to its initial position by resilient return means, preferably constituted by a helical spring of the same axis as the geometric axis of rotation of the handle.
La surface d'appui sur laquelle vient en butée un levier pivotant du couvercle pour maintenir ce dernier dans ladite position intermédiaire peut être définie par une encoche, réalisée de préférence sur une joue prolongeant supérieurement la cuve, ou en variante par un organe de butée venu de moulage avec ladite joue ou rapporté sur celle-ci.The bearing surface on which abuts a pivoting lever of the cover to maintain the latter in said intermediate position can be defined by a notch, preferably made on a cheek extending the upper tank, or alternatively by a stop member molding with said cheek or reported thereon.
