  • the platform P slides alternately with respect to the first vertical guides 60, while the first vertical guides 60 slide alternately with respect to the second vertical guides 70.
  • the platform P moves between two separate working positions: a lowered position H1 and a raised position H2, operated by the above first working unit 1 and by the sliding of the first sliding means 6 inside the first vertical guides 60 and the sliding of the second sliding means 7 of the first vertical guides 60 with respect to the second vertical guides 70.
  • the container C In its inside, the container C is equipped with an inclined bottom 11, which extends from a first head 12 to a second head 13, opposite to the first one; the latter is constituted by putting an active panel 80 over a passive panel 81.
  • the above mentioned second working unit 2 joined to the container C in the region of the first head 12, includes an actuator 20 connected to driving means 30 situated in the region of the inclined bottom 11 and extending from the first head 12 to the second head 13.
  • the driving means 30 include a worm screw 31, connected to an actuator 20, and a lead nut 32, which is fastened, by a strip 33, to a pushing surface 40, situated inside the container C, parallel to the first head 12 and to the second head 13.
  • the strip 33 passes through a slot 35 made in the inclined bottom 11 and equipped with a protection seal 34.
  • the driving means 30 are aimed at moving, in cooperation with supporting and guiding means 39, the pushing surface 40 from the first head 12 to the second head 13, and vice-versa.
  • the translation of the pushing surface 40 from the first head 12 to the second head 13 allows to push and compact the wastes inside the container C toward the second head 13.
  • the above mentioned supporting and guiding means 39 include upper wheels 42 and lower wheels 41, fastened rotatably to the pushing surface 40.
  • the upper wheels 42 and the lower wheels 41 are equipped, as shown in Figure 7, with relative grooves 410 aimed at coupling with corresponding upper section bars 43 and lower section bars 44, fastened to the opposite inner lateral walls 48 and 49 of the container C.
  • the above mentioned upper section bars 43 and lower section bars 44 extend from the first head 12 to the second head 13 parallel to the inclined bottom 11, thus having the same inclination.
  • the above mentioned active panel 80 is fastened rotatably to the lower edge of the second head 13 and is connected to the above mentioned third working unit 3, which includes a pushing actuator 8 situated near the second head 13.
  • the passive panel 81 is freely hinged to the upper edge of the second head 13.
  • the above mentioned panels forms a discharge way for the wastes contained in the container.
  • the recess 10 housing the first working unit 1 can be made in the region of the central area S4 of the pavement of the embedded seat S.
  • the reference numeral 302 indicates a tubular element which surrounds the upper part of the seat S.
  • the outer wing 305 touches the ground and has an upper part 305A which is inclined outwards and joins a horizontal part 305B flush with the upper part of the cover 300, when the latter is in the closing position of the seat S.
  • the cover 300 includes a beam 400 and a covering sheet 401.
  • the head 400A of the beam 400 leans against the tubular element 302, but is inner with respect to the inner wing 306, while the dimensions of the covering sheet 401 allow it to be placed near the inclined part 305A.
  • the part 401A of the covering sheet 401 extending from the head 400A of the beam 400 is stiffened by a section bar 405, which is situated below it and fastened to the head 400A and to which the part 401A is fastened.

  • the first vertical guides 60 begin to slide upwards inside the second vertical guides 70 in step relation with reaching, by the first sliding means 6, of the stop of the first vertical guides 60.
  • the second working unit 2 is operated in step relation with reaching, by the container C, of the raised position H2, in which the container is completely lifted.
  • the actuator 20 activates the driving means 30, which begin, cooperating with the supporting and guiding means 39, to translate the pushing surface 40, situated in correspondence to the first head 12 of the container, toward the second head 13.
  • the translation of the pushing surface 40 toward the second head 13 causes the shift and compacting of the wastes contained in the container toward the second head 13.
  • the third working unit 3 is operated in step relation with the beginning of the pushing surface 40 translation.
  • the pushing actuator 8 acts on the active panel 80 making it rotate outwards and the passive panel 81 oscillates and rotates freely.
  • the rotation of the active panel 80 creates the opening necessary to discharge the wastes and to empty the container.
  • the passive panel 81 free to oscillate, slows down the wastes movement outward, orienting them toward the body situated below.
  • step relation the third working unit 3 operates the device 8 for repositioning the active panel 80 to closing configuration.
  • the active panel 80 While closing, the active panel 80 overlaps the passive panel 81.
  • the first working unit 1 is operated, so as to reposition the container, ready to collect new wastes, inside the embedded seat.
  • One of the major advantages of the system proposed by the present invention is that it allows to lift completely the container from a seat embedded in the ground and to discharge the wastes contained therein without lifting again or overturning the container.
  • the three working units of the proposed system allow the wastes collecting operators to work in whole security by performing completely automated and extremely fast operations.
  • the inclined bottom together with the pushing surface situated inside the container facilitates the wastes discharging operations.
  • the container can be lifted in a continuous, fast and regular way, due to the chains 47 turning around the sprocket wheels 46 lifted by the pistons 45.
