Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la collecte d'articles, notamment de bouteilles ou similaires dans un conteneur de collecte, ledit dispositif comportant des obstacles placés sur le trajet de chute directe et dirigés les uns vers les autres aux hauteurs différentes. L'invention concerne également un conteneur de collecte dans lequel des obstacles sont placés sur le trajet de chute directe et dirigés les uns vers les autres aux hauteurs différentes.The present invention relates to a device for collecting articles, in particular of bottles or the like in a collection container, said device comprising obstacles placed on the fall path direct and directed towards each other at different heights. The invention also relates to a collection container in which obstacles are placed on the direct fall path and directed towards each other at different heights.

Un exemple de systèmes de recyclage de bouteilles est le dispositif décrit dans le brevet US 5154276, dans lequel on fait tomber les bouteilles le long d'un tube en position verticale sur une plaque amortissante particulière, de laquelle elles sont transférées, une à une, sur un convoyeur vers le traitement ultérieur. Il s'agit d'un système destiné à l'usage dans les magasins, c'est-à-dire, pas d'un conteneur de collecte propre.An example of bottle recycling systems is the device described in US Pat. No. 5,154,276, in which the bottles along a tube upright on a plate particular cushioning, from which they are transferred, one by one, on a conveyor to further processing. It is a system intended for use in stores, i.e., not a container own collection.

Dans le domaine de la collecte de déchets d'aujourd'hui, le triage de déchets, qui est une condition pour le recyclage de diverses matières, joue un rôle important. Les lieux de collecte de déchets sont à cet effet munis de poubelles ou sections de poubelle séparément pour le papier, les déchets d'origine biologique, les déchets mixtes et le verre, ou a moins pour quelques-uns de ceux-ci. Les conteneurs de collecte de verre existent en deux types: de tels où les articles de verre subissent une chute directe et sont laissés se briser pour permettre la réutilisation d'une manière convenable de la matière de verre qu'ils contiennent, et de tels où l'on désire de les maintenir intacts pour qu'ils puissent être utilisés à nouveau dans le même but que précédemment. Un exemple du premier type de conteneur de collecte est la demande de brevet européen No 376220, dans lequel l'ouverture d'introduction est munie d'un broyeur particulier qui est eintraíné en rotation par un moteur. Les conteneurs de collecte du seconde type à vider périodiquement, faisant l'objet de la présente invention, sont destinés aux bouteilles de boisson qui sont recyclées pour le remplissage. Un conteneur de collecte typique déjà connu, conçu pour cette utilisation, est sous forme d'une sorte de coffre, dans lequel sont disposés horizontalement des éléments de freinage pour empêcher la chute libre. Un bon exemple d'un conteneur de ce genre est le brevet allemand No 4210040 qui comprend des bandes de freinage larges disposées horizontalement et comportant des fentes souples qui permettent aux bouteilles de passer et tomber. Ces obstacles ne produisent pas d'une manière contrôlée la chute ni le logement des bouteilles dans le conteneur, et en outre, ils occupent beaucoup d'espace dans le sens horizontal. Il n'est pas possible de faire un tel conteneur de collecte qui serait profond.In today's waste collection field, the sorting of waste, which is a condition for recycling various materials, play an important role. Waste collection places are for this purpose with separate bins or bin sections for paper, biological waste, mixed waste and glass, or a less for some of these. Collection containers glass come in two types: such where glass items undergo drop directly and are allowed to break to allow reuse suitably from the glass material they contain, and such where one wishes to keep them intact so that they can be used again for the same purpose as before. An example of the first type of collection container is the patent application European No 376220, in which the introduction opening is provided a particular crusher which is rotated by a motor. The second type collection containers to be emptied periodically, making the object of the present invention are intended for beverage bottles which are recycled for filling. A collection container typical already known, designed for this use, is in the form of a sort of chest, in which are horizontally arranged braking elements to prevent free fall. A good example of such a container is the German patent No 4210040 which includes wide brake bands arranged horizontally and with flexible slots that allow bottles to pass and fall. These obstacles do not produce in a controlled manner the drop nor the housing of the bottles in the container, and in addition, they occupy a lot of space in the horizontal direction. He is not possible to make such a collection container that would be deep.

Le certificat d'utilité allemand No G8531211 décrit un dispositif de freinage placé à l'intérieur d'un conteneur de collecte de bouteilles. Ce dispositif comprend une perche central disposée en position centrée par rapport au conteneur et comportant plusieurs plaques autour de celle-ci de façon d'un escalier tournant. Les bouteilles sont destinées à tomber d'une plaque sur l'autre. Le certificat d'utilité allemand No G8136127 décrit un dispositif de freinage dans lequel des obstacles dirigés les uns vers l'autres sont fixés respectivement sur la perche centrale et sur la paroi intérieure. La bouteille qui tombe dans le conteneur heurte d'abord un obstacle convexe fixé sur la perche centrale, sur lequel elle rebondit vers un obstacle annulaire qui s'étend le long de la paroi intérieure du conteneur. Après avoir rebondi sur le obstacle annulaire, la bouteille retombe sur le fond du conteneur. Tous les deux réalisations occupent beaucoup d'espace à l'intérieur du conteneur, et en outre, en cas de l'alternative de l'escalier tournant mentionnée premièrement ci-dessus, les bouteilles peuvent acquérir trop haute vitesse, et en plus de la risque de destruction, une inconvénient peut être aussi le fait que les bouteilles passent à proximité de la paroi intérieure et elles restent coincées là à cause de la force centrifuge. Le problème de la seconde alternative est la construction difficile à réaliser en pratique, la construction laquelle nécessite le montage des obstacles sur la perche centrale et sur la paroi intérieure. Puisque les bouteilles "sautent" d'un obstacle sur l'autre, la chute est incontrôlée, et la risque existe que les bouteilles que l'on a fait tomber l'une immédiatement après l'autre se heurtent dans l'air. Les obstacles couvrent toute la section horizontale du conteneur, et ils empêchent ainsi l'inspection du fond du conteneur.The German utility certificate No G8531211 describes a device for brake placed inside a bottle collection container. This device comprises a central pole arranged in a centered position relative to the container and having several plates around this in the form of a spiral staircase. The bottles are intended for fall from one plate to another. German utility certificate No G8136127 describes a braking device in which obstacles directed towards each other are fixed respectively on the pole central and on the inner wall. The bottle falling into the container first hits a convex obstacle fixed on the pole central, on which it bounces towards an annular obstacle which extends along the inner wall of the container. After bouncing on the annular obstacle, the bottle falls on the bottom of the container. All both realizations occupy a lot of space inside the container, and in addition, in case of the alternative of the escalator mentioned above, the bottles can acquire too high speed, and in addition to the risk of destruction, disadvantage can also be the fact that the bottles pass to near the inner wall and they get stuck there because of the centrifugal force. The problem with the second alternative is the construction difficult to achieve in practice, construction which requires the installation of obstacles on the central pole and on the inner wall. Since the bottles "jump" from an obstacle on the other, the fall is uncontrolled, and the risk exists that the bottles that we dropped one immediately after the other collide in the air. Obstacles cover the entire horizontal section of the container, thus preventing inspection of the bottom of the container.

Une sorte d'armoire destinée à la collecte de bouteilles est connue par la demande de brevet français publiée No 2558047. La chute est empêchée ici par des demi-coquilles articulées sur les parois intérieures de l'armoire, qui au cours de leur descente autorisent la chute de la bouteille au niveau suivant. Par suite des articulations, le système est susceptible de perturbations, et en outre, ici également l'intérieur de l'espace de collecte est entièrement couvert par ces éléments de freinage.A kind of cabinet for collecting bottles is known by published French patent application No. 2558047. The fall is prevented here by half-shells hinged on the walls interior of the cabinet, which during their descent allow the drop the bottle to the next level. As a result of the joints, the system is susceptible to disruption, and in addition, here too the interior of the collection space is fully covered by these braking elements.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un nouveau dispositif qui permet de faire tomber les articles de verre fragiles, notamment les bouteilles, d'une manière contrôlée dans un conteneur, ce qui permet également l'augmentation de la profondeur du conteneur et l'amélioration de l'efficacité de ramassage sans aboutir aux solutions trop complexes. Pour atteindre ce but, le dispositif est principalement caractérisé en ce que les obstacles sont des surfaces de glissement ou roulement inclinées en alternance en sens opposés d'en haut vers le bas, ces surfaces couvrant ensemble une partie de la superficie de la section horizontale du conteneur.The object of the invention is to propose a new device which makes it possible to drop fragile glassware, including bottles, in a controlled manner in a container, which also allows increasing the depth of the container and improving collection efficiency without leading to overly complex solutions. To achieve this goal, the device is mainly characterized in that that the obstacles are sliding or rolling surfaces alternately inclined in opposite directions from top to bottom, these surfaces together covering part of the cross-sectional area container horizontal.

Au moyen des surfaces de glissement et roulement, les bouteilles ou similaires articles susceptibles d'être endommagés peuvent être guidés vers le bas d'une manière contrôlée. Leur chemin n'est pas accidentel, mais suit le trajet déterminé par ces surfaces. La courte chute entre les surfaces de glissement et roulement n'est pas capable de causer des dommages à la bouteille ou similaire. Les surfaces de guidage ne sont situées que sur une partie de la coupe horizontale du conteneur, étant ainsi peu encombrantes. Les surfaces de guidage sont attachées à leur structure de support en position fixe en inclinaison prédéterminée.By means of the sliding and rolling surfaces, the bottles or similar items susceptible to damage can be guided down in a controlled manner. Their path is not accidental, but follows the path determined by these surfaces. The short fall between sliding and rolling surfaces is not capable of causing damage to the bottle or the like. The guide surfaces are not located only on part of the horizontal section of the container, being thus compact. The guide surfaces are attached to their support structure in fixed position at predetermined inclination.

Le conteneur selon l'invention est, de sa part, caractérisé en ce que les obstacles sont des surfaces de glissement et roulement inclinées en alternance en sens opposés d'en haut vers le bas, ces surfaces étant disposées adjacentes au bord du conteneur de façon à ne couvrir qu'une partie de la superficie de la section horizontale du conteneur.The container according to the invention is, for its part, characterized in that the obstacles are sliding and rolling surfaces inclined in alternating in opposite directions from top to bottom, these surfaces being arranged adjacent to the edge of the container so as not to cover only part of the area of the horizontal section of the container.

    • La figure 1 montre l'avant du dispositif en perspective. Le dispositif comprend un châssis 1 de forme d'un rectangle, vu de devant, au moyen duquel le dispositif peut être monté dans un conteneur de collecte de bouteilles. Le châssis est courbe afin de s'adapter à la forme du conteneur de collecte ayant une section horizontale circulaire. Le montage du dispositif dans le conteneur de collecte va être décrit ci-après. Le châssis 1 comporte des barres verticales 1a, dont les barres les plus éloignées du milieu forment les côtés longs du rectangle. Les extrémités supérieure et inférieure du châssis comportent des lattes 1b courbes ou similaires.Figure 1 shows the front of the device in perspective. The device comprises a frame 1 in the shape of a rectangle, seen from the front, at means by which the device can be mounted in a container bottle collection. The chassis is curved to adapt to the shape of the collection container having a circular horizontal section. The mounting of the device in the collection container will be described below. The chassis 1 comprises vertical bars 1a, the bars furthest from the middle form the long sides of the rectangle. The upper and lower ends of the chassis have curved slats 1b or the like.

    Des plaques de guidage 2 sont fixées au châssis 1. Les faces supérieures des plaques constituent des faces de glissement et roulement pour les bouteilles qui sont introduites dans le conteneur de collecte de façon qu'elles tombent dedans. Les faces de glissement et roulement sont dénommées ci-dessous les faces de guidage pour brièveté. La figure 2 montre schématiquement le fonctionnement du dispositif, en illustrant d'une façon simplifiée la structure du dispositif. Les plaques sont inclinées vers le bas et vers la plaque inférieure qui la suit en sens vertical, de telle manière que la plaque 2 sur laquelle la bouteille P arrive guide la bouteille à la plaque inférieure, d'où elle va être encore guidée à la plaque inférieure suivante. La bouteille est ainsi transférée par étapes vers le bas jusqu'à ce qu'elle arrive au fond du conteneur ou sur la face supérieure des bouteillés déjà accumulées dans le conteneur. Les plaques de guidage forment de cette manière par leur faces supérieures les faces de guidage 2a successives en sens vertical, qui constituent un chemin de transfert pour guider les bouteilles introduites dans le conteneur de collecte du haut en bas d'une manière contrôlée sans qu'elles se brisent. Les surfaces de guidage 2a des plaques sont droites ou elles ont des parties droites successives qui se raccordent angulairement.Guide plates 2 are fixed to the frame 1. The faces upper plates constitute sliding faces and bearing for the bottles which are introduced into the container of collect in such a way that they fall into it. The sliding faces and bearing are referred to below as the guide faces for brevity. Figure 2 shows schematically the operation of the device, illustrating in a simplified way the structure of the device. The plates are inclined downwards and towards the lower plate which follows in a vertical direction, so that the plate 2 on which the bottle P arrives guides the bottle to the bottom plate, from where it goes still be guided to the next bottom plate. The bottle is like this transferred in stages downwards until it reaches the bottom of the container or on the upper side of already accumulated bottles in the container. The guide plates form in this way by their upper faces the successive guide faces 2a in vertical direction, which constitute a transfer path to guide the bottles placed in the collection container from top to bottom in a controlled manner without them breaking. The surfaces of guide 2a of the plates are straight or they have straight parts successive which connect angularly.

    Le chemin de transfert fonctionne de la manière suivante: La bouteille glisse ou roule sur une plaque de guidage 2 inclinée vers la plaque de guidage suivante, et tombe ensuite par le bord inférieur de cette plaque sur la plaque de guidage suivante, le long de laquelle elle glisse ou roule vers la plaque de guidage suivante inférieure. Les plaques de guidage disposées de façon échelonnée aux hauteurs différentes sont inclinées respectivement vers la plaque suivante, à l'exception de la dernière plaque, qui a la pente vers le fond du conteneur de collecte.The transfer path works as follows: The bottle slides or rolls on a guide plate 2 inclined towards the next guide, and then falls by the bottom edge of this plate on the next guide plate, along which it slides or rolls to the next lower guide plate. The plates of guides arranged in stages at different heights are inclined respectively to the next plate, except for the last plate, which slopes towards the bottom of the collection container.

    En ce qui concerne l'utilisation de l'espace, le logement le plus avantageux des plaques de guidage 2 dans le dispositif conforme à l'invention est tel que sur le chemin de transfert du haut en bas, les plaques de guidage 2 et par conséquent les surfaces de guidage 2a sont inclinées alternativement en sens opposés. Les plaques de guidage ont ainsi la pente vers le milieu, et elles sont placées en deux rangées verticales A et B. La direction de l'inclinaison des plaques est toujours la même dans la même rangée et opposée à celle des plaques de la rangée voisine. Les plaques 2 des rangées adjacentes sont mutuellement décalées. Dans ce cas, les plaques 2 sont dirigées l'unes contre les autres vers le milieu, et la bouteille se déplace ainsi le long d'une plaque de guidage 2 supérieure de la première rangée A, tombe ensuite sur une plaque de guidage 2 inférieure de la seconde rangée B, où elle s'arrête, après quoi elle change encore sa direction de déplacement vers le milieu et vers une plaque de guidage A inférieure de la première rangée A, où elle encore change sa direction vers le milieu, et de telle façon est formée une route de transfert en zigzag du haut en bas. Par la forme des plaques il est possible de influer sur les mouvements de la bouteille. Deux rangées verticales A et B côte à côte, dans lesquelles les plaques de guidage 2 sont respectivement superposées, occupent peu d'espace dans la section horizontale du conteneur de collecte. En outre, les points de changement de direction sur la route des bouteilles arrêtent la vitesse de manière qu'elle ne devienne pas trop haute. Regarding the use of space, the most advantageous guide plates 2 in the device according to the invention is such that on the transfer path from top to bottom, the guide plates 2 and therefore guide surfaces 2a are tilted alternately in opposite directions. The plates of guide thus have the slope towards the middle, and they are placed in two vertical rows A and B. The inclination direction of the plates is always the same in the same row and opposite to that of the plates from the next row. The plates 2 of the adjacent rows are mutually offset. In this case, the plates 2 are directed one against the others towards the middle, and the bottle thus moves along of an upper guide plate 2 of the first row A, falls then on a lower guide plate 2 of the second row B, where it stops, after which it changes its direction again displacement towards the middle and towards a lower guide plate A from the first row A, where it again changes its direction towards the middle, and in this way a zigzag transfer route is formed from the top to bottom. By the shape of the plates it is possible to influence the bottle movements. Two vertical rows A and B side by side side, in which the guide plates 2 are respectively overlapping, occupy little space in the horizontal section of the collection container. In addition, the change of direction points on the road bottles stop the speed so that it doesn't not get too high.

    La pente des plaques de guidage 2 dans la zone où la bouteille fait son parcours le long d'elle vers le bas est suffisamment douce afin qu'elles ne passent pas vers le bas à trop haute vitesse. La pente est de préférence inférieure à 45 degrés. Les plaques de guidage peuvent être tout à fait droites. La figure 1 montre le pliage de la plaque fait dans la zone inclinée de façon que la plaque ait une partie inclinée plus raide supérieure et une partie inclinée plus douce inférieure, ce qui confère la rigidité à la plaque.The slope of the guide plates 2 in the area where the bottle makes its run down it down is gentle enough that they do not go down at too high a speed. The slope is preferably less than 45 degrees. The guide plates can be completely straight. Figure 1 shows the folding of the plate made in the inclined area so that the plate has a more inclined part stiff upper and a softer lower inclined part, which gives rigidity to the plate.

    Comme le montre la figure 1, les plaques de guidage 2 peuvent être fixées en pratique au châssis dans la rangée verticale respective A ou B entre l'extrême barre verticale 1a et la barre vertical médiane 1a. Les figures 1 et 3 montrent également que le bord supérieur des plaques de guidage 2, c'est-à-dire le bord qui se trouve dans la plus haute position à cause de la pente ou l'inclinaison de la surface de guidage, se termine par un rebord 2b plus vertical que le reste de la plaque. Ce rebord peut être formé par pliage du bord de la plaque vers le haut. A l'aide du bord formé par le rebord 2b, la plaque de guidage 2 peut être fixée à l'extrême barre verticale 1a du châssis 1. Le figures 1 et 3 montrent également comment il est possible de plier le bord inférieur de la plaque 2 vers le bas afin de pouvoir fixer la plaque au moyen de celui-ci à la barre médiane vertical 1a.As shown in Figure 1, the guide plates 2 can be fixed in practice to the chassis in the respective vertical row A or B between the extreme vertical bar 1a and the middle vertical bar 1a. The Figures 1 and 3 also show that the upper edge of the plates guide 2, i.e. the edge which is in the highest position due to the slope or inclination of the guide surface, ends with a rim 2b more vertical than the rest of the plate. This rim can be formed by folding the edge of the plate upwards. AT using the edge formed by the rim 2b, the guide plate 2 can be fixed to the extreme vertical bar 1a of the chassis 1. Figures 1 and 3 also show how it is possible to fold the bottom edge of plate 2 down so that the plate can be fixed with this one at the vertical center bar 1a.

    Principalement les figures 4 et 5 montrent comment le châssis 1 peut être formé de deux châssis partiels qui sont courbes en section horizontale. Une rangée verticale correspondante des plaques de guidage 2, A ou B, est fixée à chacun des châssis partiels. Les châssis partiels sont réunis par leur extrêmes barres verticales 1a, qui deviennent par conséquent les barres médianes verticales 1 a du châssis 1, et les plaques de guidage 2 sont ainsi positionnées correctement par rapport les unes aux autres.Mainly Figures 4 and 5 show how chassis 1 can be formed of two partial frames which are curved in section horizontal. A corresponding vertical row of plates guide 2, A or B, is fixed to each of the partial frames. Chassis partials are joined by their extreme vertical bars 1a, which therefore become the vertical center bars 1 a of chassis 1, and the guide plates 2 are thus positioned correctly in relation to each other.

    La figure 4 montre que les bords des plaques de guidage 2 adjacents au châssis 1 sont courbes, en suivant la courbure du châssis 1. La route des bouteilles P en plan horizontal est courbe. Pour compenser la force centrifuge causée par cette courbure, les surfaces de guidage sont doucement en pente vers le bord libre de la plaque de guidage, l'angle correspondant ne mesurant qu'environ 3 à 5 degrés. Figure 4 shows that the edges of the adjacent guide plates 2 to chassis 1 are curved, following the curvature of chassis 1. The bottle route P in horizontal plane is curved. To compensate for the centrifugal force caused by this curvature, the guide surfaces are gently sloping towards the free edge of the guide plate, the corresponding angle measuring only about 3 to 5 degrees.

    La figure 4 montre encore comment les plaques des rangées A, B différentes ne se superposent pas, mais une fente reste entre leur bords inférieurs en sens vertical. Les bouteilles P ont une vitesse suffisante pour qu'elles puissent traverser la fente par le bord inférieur de la surface de guidage 2a et tomber obliquement sur la surface de guidage 2a suivante. Il est toutefois possible que ces bords inférieurs se superposent.Figure 4 again shows how the plates in rows A, B do not overlap, but a gap remains between their lower edges vertically. P bottles have a speed sufficient for them to pass through the slot at the bottom edge of the guide surface 2a and fall obliquely on the surface of next guide 2a. However, it is possible that these lower edges overlap.

    A l'aide du châssis 1, le dispositif peut être placé dans le conteneur de collecte à un endroit convenable. La figure 4 montre comment le dispositif peut être monté dans le conteneur de collecte dans un récipient auxiliaire 4 (une part de la paroi du récipient auxiliaire étant illustrée par ligne discontinue), qui peut être soulevé hors du conteneur et vidé par la partie de fond de manière connue, comme décrit dans le brevet finlandais No 87064 et le brevet européen No 425547. Le récipient auxiliaire peut être par exemple un sac qui est fixé au châssis 1 d'une manière convenable, par exemple au moyen de vis ou boulons ou analogues. Le dispositif est toutefois apte à être placé dans un tel conteneur où il n'y a pas de récipient auxiliaire.Using the frame 1, the device can be placed in the container collection at a suitable place. Figure 4 shows how the device can be mounted in the collection container in a auxiliary container 4 (part of the wall of the auxiliary container being illustrated by broken line), which can be lifted out of the container and emptied by the bottom part in a known manner, as described in the Finnish patent No 87064 and European patent No 425547. The auxiliary container can be for example a bag which is fixed to the chassis 1 in a suitable manner, for example by means of screws or bolts or the like. The device is however suitable for being placed in such a container where there is no auxiliary container.

    La figure 6 montre comment le dispositif peut être situé dans le conteneur de collecte 3 proprement dit. Le dispositif se trouve de manière excentrique par rapport au conteneur et ne couvre qu'une certaine partie de la superficie de la section horizontale du conteneur, la partie laquelle est clairement moins que la moitié de cette superficie. Le dispositif a approximativement la forme d'un secteur de cercle, vu du dessus, les bords supérieurs des plaques 2 étant orientés grosso modo radiallement vers le centre du conteneur. La direction de la pente des surfaces de guidage 2a est ainsi parallèle à la périphérie du conteneur, c'est-à-dire, les bouteilles font leur parcours alternatif parallèle à la périphérie, vu du dessus. A l'extrémité inférieure du chemin de transfert formé par les plaques de guidage 2, les bouteilles peuvent s'écouler ailleurs dans le conteneur, et le conteneur va être peu à peu rempli de bouteilles, aussi dans la région des plaques de guidage 2. Il n'existe aucun risque de formation d'une cavité. Le dispositif ne perturbe d'aucune manière le vidage du conteneur. Par exemple, si le dispositif est montée dans le récipient auxiliare 4 à soulever hors du conteneur de collecte 3 fixe, ce récipient auxiliaire pouvant être vidé par la partie de fond qui peut être ouverte et fermée, les bouteilles peuvent sortir du récipient auxiliaire sans que les plaques les obstruent. La figure 6 illustre encore comment le dispositif est placé de manière à disposer la plaque de guidage 2 qui est en position la plus haute directement au-dessous d'une ouverture de remplissage 5, qui se trouve dans le couvercle du conteneur de collecte 3, pour éviter toute possibilité d'une chute libre verticalement jusqu'au fond. Le couvercle couvrant l'espace de collecte destiné aux bouteilles ou similaires est fermé ailleurs pour que les bouteilles puissent tomber seulement sur cette plaque de guidage 2 qui est en position la plus haute.Figure 6 shows how the device can be located in the collection container 3 proper. The device is located eccentric to the container and only covers one certain part of the area of the horizontal section of the container, the part of which is clearly less than half of this area. The device has approximately the shape of a sector of a circle, seen from above, the upper edges of the plates 2 being roughly oriented modo radially towards the center of the container. The direction of the slope guide surfaces 2a is thus parallel to the periphery of the container, that is to say, the bottles make their alternative route parallel to the periphery, seen from above. At the lower end of the transfer path formed by the guide plates 2, the bottles can flow elsewhere in the container, and the container is going to be gradually filled with bottles, also in the region of the plates of guidance 2. There is no risk of cavity formation. The device does not disturb the emptying of the container in any way. Through example, if the device is mounted in the auxiliary container 4 to lift out of the fixed collection container 3, this auxiliary container can be emptied by the bottom part which can be opened and closed, the bottles can leave the auxiliary container without the plates obstruct them. Figure 6 again illustrates how the device is placed so as to arrange the guide plate 2 which is in position the higher directly below a filling opening 5, which is in the cover of the collection container 3, to avoid any possibility of a free fall vertically to the bottom. The cover covering the collection space for bottles or similar is closed elsewhere so bottles can fall only on this guide plate 2 which is in the most high.

    Le dispositif convient bien aux conteneurs de collecte à grande profondeur, par example ayant une distance de chute libre supérieure à 1,5 m. Le nombre des plaques de guidage 2 aux hauteurs différentes est trois ou plus dans de tels dispositifs, la première rangée vertical A ayant au moins deux plaques de guidage 2 et la seconde rangée verticale B au moins une. Le dispositif convient en particulier aux conteneurs de collecte dans lesquels la dimension la plus grande est en direction de hauteur. Un exemple des conteneurs de ce genre sont les conteneurs conformes au brevet européen No 425547. Dans ces conteneurs, une partie de l'espace de collecte d'ordures se trouve au-dessous du sol. Le dispositif peut être disposé dans l'intérieur d'un tel conteneur de collecte, par exemple dans un récipient auxiliaire placé dans le conteneur et vidé par la partie de fond qui peut être ouverte et fermée. Le dispositif peut toutefois s'appliquer aux conteneurs de surface, qui sont placés au-dessus du sol et qui peuvent être moins hauts.The device is well suited for large collection containers depth, for example having a free fall distance greater than 1.5 m. The number of guide plates 2 at different heights is three or more in such devices, the first vertical row A having at least two guide plates 2 and the second row vertical B at least one. The device is particularly suitable for collection containers in which the largest dimension is in the direction of height. An example of containers like this are the containers conforming to European patent No 425547. In these containers, part of the garbage collection space is below of the ground. The device can be arranged in the interior of such collection container, for example in an auxiliary container placed in the container and emptied by the bottom part which can be opened and closed. The device can however apply to containers of surface, which are placed above the ground and which can be less Tops.

    Un homme du métier entendra bien que l'invention n'est pas limitée uniquement à l'exemple décrit ci-dessus, mais elle peut être modifiée dans le cadre tel que défini dans les revendications ci-après. Les surfaces de guidage qui guident des bouteilles vers le bas peuvent être composées d'autres structures que des faces supérieures des plaques. Les plaques de guidage 2 mêmes sont fermées dans les exemples précédents, mais elles peuvent également être perforées. Les surfaces de guidage 2a peuvent également être constituées par des structures de sorte d'un filet (structures réticulaires) suffisamment tendues, qui ont la pente de la manière décrite ci-dessus. Le filet peut être réalisé par exemple en matière plastique armée. Le matériau de construction approprié pour le châssis 1 et les plaques de guidage 2 est le métal. Dans ce cas, la face supérieure des plaques de guidage est de préférence recouverte d'une matière amortissante de bruit, telle que le plastique. Les plaques de guidage 2 peuvent également être réalisées en matière plastique, telle que la plastique composite armée. Bien que les bouteilles en verre ont été décrites précédemment, l'invention peut s'appliquer à ramassage en état intacte de tous les articles qui sont susceptibles d'être endommagés à cause d'une longue chute.A person skilled in the art will understand that the invention is not limited only in the example described above, but it can be changed within the framework as defined in the claims below. The guide surfaces that guide bottles down can be composed of structures other than the upper faces of the plates. The same guide plates 2 are closed in the examples previous, but they can also be perforated. The surfaces guide 2a can also be constituted by structures so a sufficiently tight net (reticular structures), which have the slope as described above. The net can be made by example in reinforced plastic. Building material suitable for chassis 1 and guide plates 2 is metal. In this case, the upper face of the guide plates is preferably covered with a sound absorbing material, such as plastic. Guide plates 2 can also be produced plastic, such as reinforced composite plastic. Although glass bottles have been described previously, the invention can apply to intact pickup of all items that are likely to be damaged by a long fall.

    Le châssis 1 a été décrit précédemment comme courbe, mais il peut également être droit, par exemple dans le cas où la paroi du conteneur de collecte propre est droite, par exemple lorsque le conteneur de collecte a une forme carrée ou rectangulaire en coupe par un plan horizontal. Le châssis 1 peut ainsi être situé parallèlement à l'une des parois du conteneur, et aussi dans ce cas peut il se trouver à l'intérieur d'un récipient auxiliaire à soulever qui est debout contre un côté du conteneur de collecte.Frame 1 was previously described as curved, but it can also be straight, for example in the case where the container wall own collection is straight, for example when the container of collection has a square or rectangular shape in section through a plane horizontal. The chassis 1 can thus be located parallel to one of the container walls, and also in this case can be inside an auxiliary container to be lifted which is standing against one side of the collection container.

    Le châssis auquel les obstacles ont été fixés peut être installé dans le conteneur en une ou plusieurs parts. Il peut être placé dans les conteneurs de collecte existants est fixé indirectement ou directement à une structure de paroi ou couvercle du conteneur.The chassis to which the obstacles have been attached can be installed in the container in one or more parts. It can be placed in existing collection containers is attached indirectly or directly to a wall structure or cover of the container.
