It consists of a lever (9) with a latch (19) which cooperates with a rod (10) mounted on the top (7) of the lid. The lever is mounted eccentrically on a pivot (22) and is biased towards the locked position by its own weight and optionally by a spring (25).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sicherungsvorrichtung für einen Schiebedeckel eines verfahrbaren und mittels eines Müllfahrzeugs automatisch entleerbaren Müllbehälters nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a safety device for a sliding cover of a movable and by means of a Garbage truck automatically emptied refuse container according to the preamble of claim 1

Bei den heute üblichen verfahrbaren, vergleichsweise großvolumigen Müllbehältern wird die an der Oberseite des Müllbehälters vorgesehene Behälteröffnung durch einen dort auf einer Bogenlinie verschiebbaren Schiebedeckel geöffnet oder geschlossen. Dieser Schiebedeckel rastet in seiner vollständig geöffneten Stellung in einer Rastvorrichtung ein, wobei diese Rastvorrichtung jedoch nicht besonders gesichert ist, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes Schließen des Schiebedeckels auftreten kann. Dies ist insbesondere dann nicht auszuschließen, wenn der Müllbehälter durch in ihn Einblick nehmende oder in bzw. an ihm spielende Kinder geöffnet wird, wobei dann mit ihren Händen und ihrem Kopf sich im Innenraum des noch geöffneten Müllbehälters befindliche Kinder durch den in seine Schließstellung laufenden Schiebedeckel eingeklemmt werden können. Hierbei ist es zu Unfällen gekommen, bei denen Kinder stranguliert wurden. In today's usual movable, relatively large volume Garbage bins will be at the top of the garbage bin provided container opening through a there on a Bowline sliding sliding lid open or closed. This sliding cover snaps in its entirety open position in a locking device, this However, locking device is not particularly secure, so that unintentional closing of the sliding cover occur can. This can not be ruled out, especially if the refuse container by taking in him or in or at it playing children is opened, whereby then with their Hands and her head in the interior of the still open Waste container located children by the in its closed position running sliding cover can be trapped. This has led to accidents in which children strangled were.

Die EP-A-0 979 786 zeigt eine derartige Sicherungsvorrichtung, mittels der eine Schließbewegung des Schiebedeckels unterbrechbar und beim Leeren des Müllbehälters die weitere Schließbewegung des Schiebedeckels in dessen Schließstellung freigebbar ist. Zu der bekannten Sicherungsvorrichtung gehört ein Riegelglied, das zwischen einer Sperrstellung, bei der die Sicherungsvorrichtung ihre Sperrfunktion ausübt, und einer Freigabestellung, bei der die Sperrfunktion der Sicherungsvorrichtung aufgehoben ist, verstellbar ist. Des weiteren gehört zu der bekannten Sicherungsvorrichtung eine Blockiereinrichtung, die ein Anschlagglied, mittels dem das Riegelglied in seiner Sperrstellung blockierbar ist, und ein Gewichtsteil aufweist, das zwischen einer Blockierstellung, in der das Riegelglied mittels der Blockiereinrichtung in seiner Sperrstellung blockiert ist, und einer Entblockierstellung verstellbar ist, in der die Blockiereinrichtung eine Bewegung des Riegelglieds aus dessen Sperr- in dessen Freigabestellung freigibt, wenn der Müllbehälter eine um einen vorgebbaren Kippwinkel gekippte Stellung einnimmt.EP-A-0 979 786 shows such a safety device, by means of a closing movement of the sliding cover interruptible and when emptying the garbage container the more Closing movement of the sliding cover in its closed position is releasable. Belongs to the known security device a latch member, which between a locking position, in which the securing device exercises its blocking function, and one Release position, in which the blocking function of the securing device is lifted, is adjustable. Furthermore belongs to the known securing device a blocking device, a stop member, by means of which the latch member is lockable in its blocking position, and a weight part that is between a blocking position, in the locking member by means of the blocking device in his Blocking position is blocked, and a Entblockierstellung is adjustable, in which the blocking device a movement the locking member from the locking in its release position releases when the refuse container to a predetermined Tilt angle assumes tilted position.

Bei der aus der EP-A-0 979 786 bekannten Sicherungsvorrichtung sind das Anschlagteil und das Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung einstückig ausgebildet. Bei Bewegungen des Müllbehälters zwecks Verfahrung desselben kann daher nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass aufgrund der hierbei stattfindenden Beschleunigungen und Verzögerungen der Eingriff zwischen der Blockiereinrichtung und dem Riegelglied auch dann aufgehoben wird, wenn dies nicht beabsichtigt ist.In the case of the security device known from EP-A-0 979 786 are the stopper and the weight part of the blocking device integrally formed. During movements of the refuse container for the purpose of the same, therefore, can not be excluded be that due to the taking place here Accelerations and delays of engagement between the Blocking device and the locking member then canceled if this is not intended.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sicherungsvorrichtung der vorstehend angegebenen Art derart weiterzubilden, dass ein Versagen der Sicherungsvorrichtung auch bei stoßartig auftretenden Beanspruchungen beim Verfahren des Müllbehälters in Horizontalrichtung besser gewährleistet werden kann.The invention is based on the object, a securing device of the type indicated above, that a failure of the safety device also at impulsive stresses occurring in the process of Garbage container in the horizontal direction to be better ensured can.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Gewichtsteil und das Anschlagglied der Blockiereinrichtung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung separat ausgebildet sind. Eine wie auch immer geartete Bewegung des Gewichtsteils der Blockiereinrichtung aufgrund einer Bewegung des Müllbehälters hat somit nicht zur Folge, dass sich auch das Anschlagglied der Blockiereinrichtung, mittels dem das Riegelglied in dessen Sperrstellung gehaltert wird, mitbewegt und so seine das Riegelglied in dessen Sperrstellung blockierende Position aufgibt. This object is achieved in that the Weight part and the stop member of the blocking device the securing device according to the invention separately formed are. Whatever movement of the weight part the blocking device due to movement of the Waste container thus does not mean that even the Stop member of the blocking device, by means of which the locking member is held in its locked position, moved and so its blocking the locking member in its blocking position Gives up position.

Um nach einer Befüllung des sich in seiner aufrechten, verfahrbaren Stellung befindlichen Müllbehälters und einer dieser Befüllung vorausgehenden Bewegung des Schiebedeckels in dessen Offenstellung wieder ein Verschließen des Müllbehälters zu ermöglichen, ist der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung zweckmäßigerweise eine Betätigungsvorrichtung zugeordnet, mittels der die Sperrfunktion der Sicherungsvorrichtung bei aufrechter, verfahrbarer Stellung des Müllbehälters aufhebbar ist, so daß der Schiebedeckel des Müllbehälters auch bei aufrechter, verfahrbarer Stellung des Müllbehälters in seine die Behälteröffnung des Müllbehälters schließende Schließstellung schiebbar ist.To look for a filling of himself in his upright, movable Standing garbage container and one of these Filling previous movement of the sliding cover in its open position again closing the refuse container to enable is the securing device according to the invention expediently associated with an actuating device, by means of the blocking function of the securing device in an upright, movable position of the refuse container is repealed, so that the sliding cover of the refuse container even in upright, movable position of the refuse container in his the container opening of the garbage container closing Closed position is pushed.

Um in jedem Fall zu verhindern, daß eine insbesondere durch spielende Kinder auf den Müllbehälter ausgeübte Hin- und Herbewegung eine Aufhebung der Sperrwirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung zur Folge hat, weist die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung vorteilhaft eine Rasteinrichtung auf, mittels der die die Schließbewegung des Schiebedeckels unterbrechende Sperrfunktion der Sicherungsvorrichtung bei aufrechter, verfahrbarer Stellung des Müllbehälters aufrecht erhaltbar ist, wenn der Müllbehälter etwa waagerecht hin und her bewegt bzw. gefahren wird.In order to prevent in any case that one in particular by children playing on the rubbish bin exercised float a lifting of the barrier effect of the invention Safety device has the consequence, the inventive Securing device advantageously a locking device on, by means of which the closing movement of the sliding cover interrupting blocking function of the safety device in an upright, movable position of the refuse container is sustained, if the refuse container is approximately horizontal is moved or driven back and forth.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung ist vorteilhaft im Bereich einer oberen Seitenkante des verfahrbaren Müllbehälters angeordnet.The securing device according to the invention is advantageous in Area of an upper side edge of the movable refuse container arranged.

Bei besonderen Anforderungsprofilen ist es möglich, daß die erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung zwei gleichartige Einheiten aufweist, die im Bereich der beiden oberen Seitenkanten des verfahrbaren Müllbehälters angeordnet sind. For special requirement profiles, it is possible that the Safety device according to the invention two similar units which is in the area of the two upper side edges of the movable refuse container are arranged.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Riegelglied zwischen seiner Sperrstellung und seiner Freigabestellung verschwenkbar angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet.Conveniently, the locking member between its blocking position and its release position arranged pivotally or trained.

Das Riegelglied kann einen Sperrvorsprung aufweisen, der in Sperrstellung des Riegelglieds in eine Bewegungsbahn eines schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteils ragt.The locking member may have a locking projection, which in Locking position of the locking member in a movement path of a sliding lid-side stop member protrudes.

Um eine Bewegung des Schiebedeckels aus dessen Schließ- in dessen Offenstellung zuverlässig zu blockieren und andererseits eine Bewegung des Schiebedeckels aus dessen Offen- in dessen Schließstellung zuzulassen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Sperrvorsprung des Riegelglieds eine steile Flanke, die in Sperrstellung des Riegelglieds dem schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteil bei einer Bewegung des Schiebedeckels aus dessen Offen- in dessen Schließstellung zugewandt ist und das Anschlagteil und damit den Schiebedeckel bei der Bewegung aus der Offen- in die Schließstellung an der Sicherungsvorrichtung blockiert, und eine Auflauframpe aufweist, die in Sperrstellung des Riegelglieds dem schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteil bei einer Bewegung des Schiebedeckels aus dessen Schließ- in dessen Offenstellung zugewandt ist und eine Verschiebung des Anschlagteils und damit des Schiebedeckels aus dessen Schließ- in dessen Offenstellung an der Sicherungsvorrichtung vorbei zuläßt.To a movement of the sliding cover from the closing in its open position reliably block and on the other hand a movement of the sliding cover from the open-in its closed position, it is advantageous if the locking projection of the locking member a steep edge, the in locking position of the locking member the sliding lid side Stop member during a movement of the sliding cover from the Open-facing in its closed position and the stop member and thus the sliding cover during the movement the open in the closed position on the securing device blocked, and has a ramp, in the locked position the latch member the sliding lid-side stop member during a movement of the sliding cover of the latter Closing in its open position faces and a shift of the stop member and thus the sliding cover its closing in its open position on the securing device passing by.

Zur Sicherung der Funktion der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Riegelglied in Richtung auf seine Sperrstellung vorgespannt ist.To secure the function of the security device according to the invention it is advantageous if the latch member in the direction is biased to its blocking position.

Um eine erwünschte Verstellung des Riegelglieds aus dessen Sperr- in dessen Freigabestellung möglichst schnell durchführen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Riegelglied durch seine eigene Gewichtskraft in Richtung auf seine Freigabestellung beaufschlagt ist.To a desired adjustment of the locking member of the Lock in its release position perform as quickly as possible to be able to, it is expedient if the latch member through his own weight in the direction of his release position is charged.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist das Riegelglied exzentrisch an einem Schwenkzapfen verschwenkbar gelagert und mittels seiner Gewichtskraft im Gegenuhrzeigersinn in Richtung auf seine Freigabestellung beaufschlagt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention Securing device, the locking member is eccentric on a Pivot pivotally mounted and by means of his Weight counterclockwise towards his Release order applied.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Riegelglied mittels einer Feder in Richtung auf seine Sperrstellung vorgespannt, wobei seine das Riegelglied in dessen Freigabestellung beaufschlagende Gewichtskraft kleiner als die Vorspannkraft der Feder ist.Conveniently, the latch member by means of a spring in Direction biased to its blocking position, where his the Bar member in its release position acted upon gravity is less than the biasing force of the spring.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist das Riegelglied an einem Endabschnitt als Ansatzarm für die es in seine Sperrstellung vorspannende Feder ausgebildet und weist das Riegelglied an seinem anderen Endabschnitt einen Anschlag auf, mit dem es durch ein blockiereinrichtungsseitiges Anschlagglied gegen eine Bewegung in seine Freigabestellung blockierbar ist, wenn sich der Müllbehälter in seiner aufrechten, verfahrbaren Stellung befindet.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention Securing device is the latch member at one end portion as a Ansatzarm for biasing it in its locked position Spring formed and has the latch member at his another end section on a stop, with which it through a blocking device side stop member against movement is blockable in its release position, if the refuse container in its upright, movable position located.

Hierbei wiederum ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung um einen Schwenkzapfen zwischen seiner Blockier- und seiner Entblockierstellung schwenkbar ist.Here again, it is advantageous if the weight part the blocking device about a pivot between his Blocking and its Entblockierstellung is pivotable.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der dem Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung zugeordnete Schwenkzapfen so angeordnet und das Gewichtsteil so ausgebildet, daß das Gewichtsteil aus seiner Blockier- in seine Entblockierstellung schwenkbar ist, wenn der Müllbehälter beim Leeren mittels des Müllfahrzeugs in die um den vorgebbaren Kippwinkel gekippte Stellung gerät. Conveniently, that is the weight part of the blocking device associated pivot pin arranged so and the weight part designed so that the weight part of his Blocking is pivotal in its Entblockierstellung, if the refuse container when emptying by means of the refuse vehicle in the to the predetermined tilt angle tilted position device.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Anschlagglied der Blockiereinrichtung mittels einer Feder in Richtung auf eine Riegelstellung vorgespannt, in der das Anschlagglied das Riegelglied in dessen Sperrstellung blockiert.Conveniently, the stop member of the blocking device by means of a spring in the direction of a bolt position biased, in which the stop member, the latch member in the Blocking position blocked.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung sitzt das Anschlagglied der Blockiereinrichtung an einem Schwenkarm, der an seinem einen Ende verschwenkbar gelagert ist und an seinem anderen Ende einen Stellabschnitt aufweist, gegen den das Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung bei seiner Bewegung aus seiner Blockier- in seine Entblockierstellung in Anlage gerät. Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist eine zuverlässige Verstellung des Anschlagglieds aus dessen Riegelstellung heraus in dessen Entriegelstellung sichergestellt, wenn der Müllbehälter um den vorgebbaren Kippwinkel gekippt ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention Securing device sits the stop member of the blocking device on a swivel arm, at one end is pivotally mounted and at its other end a Positioning portion, against which the weight part of the blocking device in his move from his blocking in his Entblockierstellung device. By this configuration is a reliable adjustment of the stop member from the latch position out in its unlocked position ensured when the refuse container to the predetermined Tilt angle is tilted.

Um auch für den Fall der Unterbrechung der Kippbewegung des Müllbehälters und der bloßen Anlage des Gewichtsteils am Stellabschnitt des das Anschlagglied aufweisenden Schwenkarms eine sichere Verstellung des Anschlagglieds in dessen Entriegelstellung zu gewährleisten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Vorspannkraft der das Anschlagglied in Richtung auf dessen Riegelstellung vorspannenden Feder kleiner ist als die Gewichtskraft des sich aus seiner Blockier- in seine Entblockierstellung bewegenden Gewichtsteils der Blockiereinrichtung. Hierdurch wird die gewünschte Verstellung des Anschlagglieds mittels des Gewichtsteils auch dann erreicht, wenn lediglich die statische Gewichtskraft des Gewichtsteils auf den Stellabschnitt des Schwenkarms einwirkt.In order also in the case of the interruption of the tilting movement of the Garbage container and the mere plant of the weight part on Positioning portion of the stopper member having the pivot arm a safe adjustment of the stop member in its unlocking position To ensure it is advantageous if the Biasing force of the stop member in the direction of the Bolt position biasing spring is smaller than the weight from his blocking into his unblocking position moving weight part of the blocking device. As a result, the desired adjustment of the stop member reached by the weight part even if only the static weight of the weight part on the Actuating section of the swing arm acts.

Um sicherzustellen, daß Haftreibungskräfte zwischen dem riegelteilseitigen Anschlag und dem blockiereinrichtungsseitigen Anschlagglied möglichst gering sind und damit eine Verstellung des Anschlagglieds der Blockiereinrichtung nicht verhindern, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Anschlag am anderen Endabschnitt des Riegelglieds einerseits und dem Anschlagglied der Blockiereinrichtung andererseits sehr klein ist.To ensure that static friction forces between the bolt side Stop and the blocker side Stop member are as low as possible and thus an adjustment the stop member of the blocking device does not prevent It is suggested that the contact surface between the Stop on the other end portion of the locking member on the one hand and the stopper member of the blocking device on the other hand is very small.

Die Funktionssicherheit der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung läßt sich weiter erhöhen, wenn die Masse des Gewichtsteils der Blockiereinrichtung sehr viel größer als die Masse des Anschlagglieds und des Schwenkarms der Blockiereinrichtung ist.The reliability of the security device according to the invention can be further increased if the mass of the part by weight the blocking device is much larger than that Mass of the stop member and the pivot arm of the blocking device is.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Blockiereinrichtung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung wird erzielt, wenn das verschwenkbare Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung ein in bezug auf den Schwenkzapfen des Gewichtsteils verschiebliches Stellgewicht aufweist. Bei der vorstehend geschilderten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das verschwenkbare Gewichtsteil der Blockiereinrichtung ein Schwenklagerteil aufweist, das um den Schwenkzapfen des Gewichtsteils schwenkbar ist und an dem das Stellgewicht des Gewichtsteils verschieblich gelagert ist. Hierdurch wird einerseits eine freie Verschwenkung des Gewichtsteils um den diesem zugeordneten Schwenkzapfen gewährleistet, wobei andererseits eine definierte Beweglichkeit des Stellgewichts in bezug auf das Schwenklagerteil bzw. den Schwenkzapfen ermöglicht ist.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the blocking device the safety device according to the invention is achieved, when the pivotable weight part of the blocking device a with respect to the pivot of the weight part having displaceable control weight. In the above Embodiment of the security device according to the invention it is advantageous if the pivotable weight part the blocking device has a pivot bearing part, pivotable about the pivot of the weight part is and on which the control weight of the weight part displaceable is stored. This will on the one hand a free Swiveling the weight part to the assigned this Guaranteed pivot, on the other hand, a defined Mobility of the balance weight with respect to the Swivel bearing part or the pivot pin is possible.

In konstruktiv-technisch wenig aufwendiger Weise läßt sich diese Beweglichkeit des Stellgewichts realisieren, wenn das Schwenklagerteil des Gewichtsteils einen Schublagerstift aufweist, längs dem das Stellgewicht des Gewichtsteils am Schwenklagerteil verschieblich gelagert ist.In a constructive and technical little expensive way can be realize this mobility of the weight, if that Swing bearing part of the weight part has a thrust bearing pin, along the the control weight of the weight part on Swivel bearing part is slidably mounted.

Um stets eine Verschwenkbarkeit des Stellgewichts für den Fall sicherzustellen, daß der Müllbehälter bei seiner automatischen Entleerung mittels des Müllfahrzeugs um den vorgebbaren Kippwinkel gekippt wird, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Schublagerstift des Schwenklagerteils des Gewichtsteils eine im Stellgewicht des Gewichtsteils ausgebildete Ausnehmung durchragt, in der eine Schubfeder angeordnet ist, die einerseits an einem schublagerstiftseitigen Federanschlag und andererseits an einem stellgewichtsseitigen Federanschlag anschließt und das Stellgewicht des Gewichtsteils in eine zum Schwenkzapfen desselben entgegengesetzte Richtung beaufschlagt. In derjenigen Position, in deren Richtung das Stellgewicht mittels der Schubfeder vorgespannt ist, ist eine Verschwenkung des Stellgewichts bzw. des Gewichtsteils um den entsprechenden Schwenkzapfen möglich.To always a pivoting of the weight for the Case ensure that the garbage container at its automatic Emptying by means of the refuse vehicle to the predetermined Tipping angle is tilted, it is useful if the Thrust bearing pin of the swivel bearing part of the weight part one formed in the control weight of the weight part recess protrudes, in which a thrust spring is arranged, on the one hand on a thrust bearing pin spring stop and on the other hand adjoins a balance weight side spring stop and the weight of the weight part in a Pivot pin of the same opposite direction acted upon. In the position in whose direction the control weight is biased by the thrust spring is a pivoting of the weight or the weight part of the corresponding pivot pin possible.

Um in anderen Horizontalpositionen des Stellgewichts in bezug auf den Schwenkzapfen des Gewichtsteils eine Schwenkbewegung des Gewichtsteils um dessen Schwenkzapfen auszuschließen, ist am Stellgewicht des Gewichtsteils ein Führungszapfen ausgebildet, der in einer Kulissenführung geführt ist, die einen bei in seiner Blockierstellung befindlichen Gewichtsteil horizontalen Kulissenschenkel aufweist, in dem der Führungszapfen bei einer Hin- und Herbewegung des sich in seiner aufrechten verfahrbaren Stellung befindlichen Müllbehälters geführt ist.In order in other horizontal positions of the control weight in relation on the pivot of the weight part of a pivoting movement the weight part to exclude its pivot pin is formed at the control weight of the weight part of a guide pin, which is guided in a slide guide, the one when in its blocking position located weight part horizontal Sliding limb, in which the guide pin with a float moving in his upright position movable position held refuse container out is.

Um in derjenigen Position des Stellgewichts des Gewichtsteils, in der sich das Stellgewicht normalerweise aufgrund der Wirkung der ihm zugeordneten Schubfeder befindet, eine Verschwenkung des Stellgewichts und damit des Gewichtsteils beim Erreichen des vorgebbaren Kippwinkels des Müllbehälters sicherzustellen, weist die Kulissenführung vorteilhaft einen um den Schwenkzapfen des Gewichtsteils gekrümmten bogenförmigen Kulissenschenkel auf, in dem der Führungszapfen des Stellgewichts bei einer Schwenkbewegung des Gewichtsteils geführt ist.To be in the position of the weight of the weight, in which the control weight is usually due the effect of the associated thrust spring is located, a Pivoting of the control weight and thus of the weight part upon reaching the predefinable tilt angle of the refuse container Ensure the slide guide advantageous one curved around the pivot of the weight part curved Backing legs, in which the guide pin of the Adjusting weight guided during a pivoting movement of the weight part is.

Um die Verschwenkbarkeit des Gewichtsteils beim Entleerungsvorgang des Müllbehälters zuverlässig sicherzustellen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der stellgewichtsseitige Führungszapfen mittels der zwischen dem Stellgewicht und dem schwenklagerteilseitigen Schublagerstift angeordneten Schubfeder in Richtung auf die in bezug auf den Schwenkzapfen des Gewichtsteils äußere Kante des bogenförmigen Kulissenschenkels vorgespannt ist.To the pivotability of the weight part during the emptying process to reliably ensure the refuse container is it advantageous if the weight-adjusting guide pin by means of between the control weight and the pivot bearing part side Thrust bearing pin arranged thrust spring in the direction on with respect to the pivot of the weight part outer edge of the arcuate link leg biased is.

In technisch-konstruktiv wenig aufwendiger Weise läßt sich die Kulissenführung in einer Gehäuseseitenwand der Sicherungsvorrichtung ausbilden.In a technically-constructive little expensive way can be the slide guide in a housing side wall of the securing device form.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist eine Oberseite eines Gehäuses der Sicherungsvorrichtung in ihrer Kontur an die des die Sicherungsvorrichtung aufnehmenden Abschnitts der oberen Seitenkante des Müllbehälters angepaßt, wobei das Riegelglied durch eine Ausnehmung in der Oberseite des Gehäuses und eine mit dieser fluchtende Ausnehmung in der oberen Seitenkante des Müllbehälters in seiner Sperrstellung in den Bewegungspfad des schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteils vorragt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention Securing device is a top of a housing Securing device in its contour to that of the securing device receiving portion of the upper side edge the refuse container adapted, wherein the locking member through a recess in the top of the case and one with this aligned recess in the upper side edge of the Waste bin in its locked position in the path of movement protrudes the sliding lid-side stop member.

Mittels der der Sicherungsvorrichtung zugeordneten Betätigungsvorrichtung ist zweckmäßigerweise das schiebedeckelseitige Anschlagteil so verstellbar, daß es bei einer Schließbewegung des Schiebedeckels nicht in Anlage gegen das sicherungsvorrichtungseitige Riegelglied gerät. So kann durch entsprechende Betätigung der Betätigungsvorrichtung und nur dann sichergestellt werden, daß der Schiebedeckel des Müllbehälters in seine die Behälteröffnung vollständig schließende Schließstellung geschoben wird.By means of the securing device associated actuator is expediently the sliding lid side Stopper part so adjustable that it at a closing movement the sliding cover does not abut against the safety device side Rattle link device. So can by appropriate Actuation of the actuator and only then be sure that the sliding lid of the bin in its completely closing the container opening Closed position is pushed.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand einer Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.In the following the invention with reference to an embodiment explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Ein in Figur 1 hinsichtlich seiner für die vorliegende Erfindung wesentlichen Bestandteile in Seitenansicht dargestellter Müllbehälter 1 ist auf in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Rollen verfahrbar, da er vergleichsweise große Abmessungen aufweist und entsprechend im mit Müll gefülltem Zustand sehr schwer ist.One in Figure 1 in terms of its for the present invention Essential components shown in side view Refuse container 1 is not shown in the figures Rolls movable, as it comparatively large dimensions has and accordingly in the garbage filled condition a lot hard.

Der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Müllbehälter 1 hat einen Schiebedeckel 2, mittels dem eine Behälteröffnung 3 des Müllbehälters 1 geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann.The refuse container 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a sliding cover 2, by means of which a container opening 3 of the Waste container 1 can be opened and closed.

Hierzu weist der Schiebedeckel 2 an beiden Seitenwänden 4 des Müllbehälters 1, von denen in den Figuren lediglich die vordere Seitenwand 4 dargestellt ist, jeweils einen Schwenkarm 5 auf, der um ein an der Seitenwand 4 vorgesehenes Schwenklager 6 schwenkbar ist, so daß der Schiebedeckel 2 etwa längs den die Behälteröffnung 3 seitlich begrenzenden oberen Seitenkanten 7 der Seitenwände 4 des Müllbehälters 1 verschieblich ist.For this purpose, the sliding cover 2 on both side walls 4 of the Waste container 1, of which in the figures, only the front Side wall 4 is shown, each having a pivot arm. 5 on, which is provided for a provided on the side wall 4 pivot bearing 6 is pivotable, so that the sliding cover 2 approximately along the the container opening 3 laterally bounding upper side edges 7 of the side walls 4 of the refuse container 1 slidably is.

Der Schiebedeckel 2 ist üblicherweise mittels einer in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Spanneinrichtung in Richtung auf seine in Figur 1 dargestellte Schließstellung vorgespannt. Um sicherzustellen, daß der Schiebedeckel 2 aus einer ganz oder teilweise geöffneten Position heraus nicht aufgrund der vorstehend erwähnten Vorspannung vollständig in seine in Figur 1 gezeigte Schließstellung zurückfährt, ist der in den Figuren 1 bis 5 hinsichtlich seiner für die Erfindung wesentlichen Teile dargestellte Müllbehälter 1 an zumindest einer Seitenwand 4 mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 ausgerüstet. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 ist an der oberen Seitenkante 7 der Seitenwand 4 bzw. im Bereich der oberen Seitenkante 7 so angeordnet, daß ein in den Figuren 1 und 2 lediglich teilweise sichtbares Riegelglied 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 in die Bewegungsbahn eines mit dem Schiebedeckel verbundenen Anschlagteils 10 vorsteht.The sliding cover 2 is usually by means of a in the Figures not shown clamping device in the direction of its biased closed position shown in Figure 1. Around ensure that the sliding cover 2 from a whole or partially open position not due to the above completely mentioned in his in Figure 1 shown closed position moves back, which is in the figures 1 to 5 in terms of its essential for the invention Parts illustrated refuse container 1 on at least one side wall 4 with a securing device 8 according to the invention equipped. The securing device 8 is at the top Side edge 7 of the side wall 4 or in the region of the upper Side edge 7 arranged so that one in the figures 1 and 2 only partially visible locking member 9 of the securing device 8 in the movement path of one with the sliding cover connected stop member 10 protrudes.

Wenn dieses schiebedeckelseitige Anschlagteil 10, wie insbesondere aus der Darstellung mit durchgezogenen Linien in Figur 2 hervorgeht, gegen das Riegelglied 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 in Anlage gerät, ist eine weitere Bewegung des Anschlagteils 10 und damit des Schiebedeckels 2 in Richtung auf die Schließstellung des Schiebedeckels 2 blockiert. Der Schiebedeckel 2 kann entsprechend seine Schließstellung nicht erreichen, es verbleibt zwischen einer Vorderkante 11 des Schiebedeckels 2 und einer Vorderkante 12 des Müllbehälters 1 ein Spalt 13, dessen Ausmaße in Richtung der Seitenwände 4 des Müllbehälters 1 sich aus der Anordnung der zumindest einen Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 an der Seitenwand 4 ergeben, wobei die Anordnung der zumindest einen Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 so gewählt wird, daß der Spalt 13 zumindest so breit ist, daß ein Einklemmen von in den Innenraum des Müllbehälters 1 hinabhängenden Körperextremitäten verhindert wird.When this slide-lid-side stop member 10, in particular from the representation with solid lines in FIG 2, against the locking member 9 of the securing device 8 in attachment device, is another movement of the stop member 10 and thus of the sliding cover 2 in the direction of blocked the closed position of the sliding cover 2. Of the Sliding lid 2 can not according to its closed position reach, it remains between a front edge 11 of the Sliding lid 2 and a front edge 12 of the refuse container. 1 a gap 13 whose dimensions in the direction of the side walls 4th the refuse container 1 from the arrangement of at least one Securing device 8 result on the side wall 4, wherein the arrangement of the at least one securing device 8 is chosen so that the gap 13 is at least so wide that a pinching of down in the interior of the refuse container 1 Body extremities is prevented.

Wie bereits erwähnt, ist in den Figuren lediglich eine erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 dargestellt; es sei jedoch darauf hingewiesen, daß an jeder Seitenwand 4 des Müllbehälters 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 vorgesehen sein kann.As already mentioned, in the figures, only an inventive Secured device 8 shown; it is however pointed out that on each side wall 4 of the refuse container 1 shows a securing device 8 according to the invention can be provided.

Um, beispielsweise nach einer Befüllung des Müllbehälters 1 und einer dafür erforderlichen Verbringung bzw. Verschiebung des Schiebedeckels 2 in dessen Öffnungsstellung ein Verschließen des Müllbehälters 1 zu ermöglichen, ist das Anschlagteil 10, das im Bereich der Unterseite des Schiebedeckels 2 angeordnet ist, mittels einer geeigneten Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 aus seiner in Figur 2 durchgezogenen Stellung in seine in Figur 2 gestrichelt dargestellte Stellung verstellbar. In der in Figur 2 gestrichelt dargestellten Stellung ist das Anschlagteil 10 so an der Unterseite des Schiebedeckels 2 angeordnet, daß der Schiebedeckel 2 an der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 bzw. an deren Riegelglied 9 vorbei in seine Schließstellung verbracht werden kann.To, for example, after a filling of the refuse container. 1 and a required shipment or displacement the sliding cover 2 in its open position a closing to allow the refuse container 1, is the stop member 10, in the area of the bottom of the sliding cover 2 is arranged by means of a suitable actuator 14 from its solid in Figure 2 position in its position shown in dashed lines in Figure 2 position adjustable. In the position shown in dashed lines in Figure 2 is the stop member 10 so on the underside of the sliding cover 2 arranged that the sliding cover 2 on the securing device 8 or on the latch member 9 over in his Closed position can be spent.

Bei der Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 kann es sich um einen einfachen Hebel, eine Kurbel od.dgl. handeln, wobei bei der Ausgestaltung der Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 jedoch darauf zu achten ist, daß bei Nichtbetätigung derselben das Anschlagteil 10 in der in Figur 2 mit durchgezogenen Linien dargestellten Position stehen muß, da nur dann gesichert ist, daß bei einer Bewegung des Schiebedeckels 2 in Richtung auf dessen Schließstellung die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 in der gewünschten Weise wirken kann.The actuator 14 may be a simple one Lever, a crank or the like. act, wherein in the embodiment the actuator 14 but to it pay attention that when not operating the same the stopper part 10 in the illustrated in Figure 2 with solid lines Position must stand, because only then is secured that during a movement of the sliding cover 2 in the direction of its Closed position the securing device 8 in the desired Can act way.

Die in Figur 3 in Einzelheiten dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 hat ein Gehäuse 15, dessen Oberseite 16 hinsichtlich seiner Kontur an den das Gehäuse 15 aufnehmenden Abschnitt der oberen Seitenkante 7 der Seitenwand 4 des Müllbehälters 1 angepaßt ist. Im in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel liegt das Gehäuse 15 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 mit seiner Oberseite 16 gegen die Unterseite der oberen Seitenkante 7 der Seitenwand 4 des Müllbehälters 1 an.The invention shown in detail in Figure 3 Securing device 8 has a housing 15, the top side 16 with respect to its contour to the housing 15 receiving Section of the upper side edge 7 of the side wall. 4 the refuse container 1 is adapted. In the illustrated in the figures Embodiment is the housing 15 of the securing device 8 with its top 16 against the bottom the upper side edge 7 of the side wall 4 of the refuse container 1 on.

An seiner Oberseite 16 weist das Gehäuse 15 eine Ausnehmung 17 auf, die mit einer dieser zugeordneten Ausnehmung 18 in der oberen Seitenkante 7 der Seitenwand 4 fluchtet.At its upper side 16, the housing 15 has a recess 17 on, with one of these associated recess 18 in the upper side edge 7 of the side wall 4 is aligned.

Durch die gehäuseseitige Ausnehmung 17 und die seitenkantenseitige Ausnehmung 18 ragt das Riegelglied 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 mit einem Sperrvorsprung 19 in die Bewegungsbahn des schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteils 10 vor.Through the housing-side recess 17 and the side edge side Recess 18 protrudes the locking member 9 of the securing device 8 with a locking projection 19 in the path of movement of the sliding lid-side stop member 10 before.

Der Sperrvorsprung 19 hat, wie sich insbesondere aus Figur 3 ergibt, eine steile Flanke 20, mittels der das schiebedeckelseitige Anschlagteil 10 blockierbar ist, wenn der Schiebedeckel 2 bei seiner Bewegung aus seiner Offen- in seine Schließstellung mit seinem Anschlagteil 10 zur Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 gelangt. Eine Weiterbewegung des Schiebedeckels 2 vorbei an der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 wird durch diese steile Flanke 20 bzw. den Anschlag des schiebedeckelseitigen Anschlagteils 10 gegen diese steile Flanke 20 am Sperrvorsprung 19 des Riegelglieds 9 verhindert.The locking projection 19 has, as can be seen in particular from FIG results in a steep flank 20, by means of the sliding lid side Stop member 10 is blocked when the sliding cover 2 in his movement from his open to his Closed position with its stop member 10 to the security device 8 arrives. A further movement of the sliding cover 2 past the securing device 8 is through this steep Flank 20 and the stop of the sliding lid-side stop member 10 against this steep edge 20 on the locking projection 19 of the locking member 9 prevented.

An seiner der steilen Flanke 20 abgewandten Seite weist der Sperrvorsprung 19 eine Auflauframpe 21 auf, die es ermöglicht, daß das schiebedeckelseitige Anschlagteil 10 bei einer Bewegung des Schiebedeckels 2 aus dessen Schließstellung in dessen Offenstellung über den Sperrvorsprung 19 des Riegelglieds 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 angehoben wird, so daß eine Verstellung des Schiebedeckels 2 aus dessen Schließ- in dessen Offenstellung auch dann möglich ist, wenn sich das Riegelglied 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 in seiner Sperrstellung befindet. Ist das schiebedeckelseitige Anschlagteil 10 einmal in Richtung Offenstellung des Schiebedeckels 2 über das Riegelglied 9 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 gewandert, kann der Schiebedeckel 2 ohne Betätigung der Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 nicht zurück in seine Schließstellung geschoben werden. Der Spalt 13 bleibt bei Nichtbetätigung der Betätigungsvorrichtung 14 geöffnet.On its side facing away from the steep flank 20 has the Locking projection 19 a ramp 21, which makes it possible that the sliding lid-side stop member 10 at a Movement of the sliding cover 2 from its closed position in its open position on the locking projection 19 of the locking member 9 of the securing device 8 is raised, so that an adjustment of the sliding cover 2 from the closing in its open position is also possible when the Bar member 9 of the securing device 8 in its blocking position located. Is the sliding lid side stop member 10 once in the direction of the open position of the sliding cover 2 over the locking member 9 of the securing device 8 hiked, can the sliding cover 2 without operating the actuator 14 can not be pushed back to its closed position. The gap 13 remains at non-actuation of the actuator 14 open.

Wie sich inbesondere aus den Figuren 3 bis 5 ergibt, ist das mit seinem Sperrvorsprung 19 aus dem Gehäuse 15 bzw. durch die obere Seitenkante 7 vorragende Riegelglied 9 innerhalb des Gehäuses 15 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 mittels eines Schwenkzapfens 22 verschwenkbar gelagert. Bei dem an Hand der Figuren 3 bis 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsvorrichtung ist der Schwenkzapfen 22 des Riegelglieds 9 in der - bei waagerechter Stellung des Müllbehälters 1 - oberen rechten Ecke des Gehäuses 15 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 angeordnet.As is apparent in particular from Figures 3 to 5, this is with its locking projection 19 from the housing 15 and through the upper side edge 7 projecting locking member 9 within the housing 15 of the securing device 8 by means of a Pivot pin 22 pivotally mounted. At the hand of the Figures 3 to 5 illustrated embodiment of the invention Securing device is the pivot pin 22nd of the locking member 9 in the - in the horizontal position of the Waste container 1 - upper right corner of the housing 15 of the securing device 8 arranged.

Der in bezug auf den Schwenkzapfen 22 auf der anderen Seite des Sperrvorsprungs 19 angeordnete Endabschnitt 23 des Riegelglieds 9 bildet einen Ansatzarm 24 für eine Feder 25 aus, die mit einer Seite gegen den Ansatzarm 24 und mit ihrer anderen Seite in geeigneter Weise gegen die Innenwandung des Gehäuses 15 der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 anliegt. Durch die Feder 25 wird das Riegelglied 9 in Uhrzeigerrichtung um seinen Schwenkzapfen 22 vorgespannt, so daß der Sperrvorsprung 19 des Riegelglieds 9 im unbelasteten Zustand der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8 und waagerechter, verfahrbarer Position des Müllbehälters 1 normalerweise seine in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigte Sperrstellung einnimmt.The one with respect to the pivot pin 22 on the other side the locking projection 19 arranged end portion 23 of the locking member 9 forms a lug arm 24 for a spring 25, with one side against the Ansatzarm 24 and with their other Side in a suitable manner against the inner wall of the Housing 15 of the securing device 8 is applied. By the Spring 25, the latch member 9 in the clockwise direction to his Tilted pivot pin 22 so that the locking projection 19 of the locking member 9 in the unloaded state of the securing device 8 and horizontal, movable position of the Waste container 1 normally its in the figures 3 and 4 shown blocking position occupies.

Die körperliche Ausgestaltung des Riegelglieds 9 und seine Massenverteilung in bezug auf seinen Schwenkzapfen 22 ist so gewählt, daß die Gewichtskraft des Riegelglieds 9 in bezug auf den Schwenkzapfen 22 gegen die Vorspannkraft der Feder 25 in Gegenuhrzeigerrichtung wirkt. Die in Gegenuhrzeigersinn wirkende Gewichtskraft des Riegelglieds 9 ist kleiner als die durch die Feder 25 in Uhrzeigerrichtung erzeugte Vorspannkraft.The physical design of the locking member 9 and its Mass distribution with respect to its pivot pin 22 is so chosen that the weight of the locking member 9 with respect on the pivot pin 22 against the biasing force of the spring 25th acts counterclockwise. The counterclockwise acting weight of the latch member 9 is smaller than that biasing force generated by the spring 25 in the clockwise direction.

An seinem dem den Ansatzarm 24 ausbildenden Endabschnitt 23 entgegengesetzten anderen Endabschnitt 26 hat das Riegelglied einen Anschlag 27, der beispielsweise durch eine rechtwinklige Abknickung des anderen Endabschnitts 26 ausgebildet sein kann.At his the approach arm 24 forming end portion 23rd opposite other end portion 26 has the latch member a stop 27, for example, by a right-angled Abknickung the other end portion 26 may be formed can.
