Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Abfallsammelbehälter für den Haushalt, insbesondere im Küchenbereich.The invention relates to a household waste collection container, in particular in the kitchen area.

Derartige Abfallsammelbehälter, wie sie in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen auf dem Markt angeboten werden, dienen dazu, Haushaltsabfälle und insbesondere Küchenabfälle der unterschiedlichsten Art aufzunehmen. Dabei ist es unausweichlich, dass auch flüssige und pasteuse Abfälle aufgenommen werden, die zwangsläufig zu starken Verschmutzungen neigen. Dem begegnet man damit, dass die Abfallsammelbehälter teils mit zusätzlichen Innenbehälter, aus Blech oder Kunststoff, versehen sind oder durch Einsetzen von Kunststofftüten. Damit ist allerdings das Problem des Verschmutzens nur unzulänglich gelöst. Auch die Einsatzeimer verschmutzen und müssen praktisch nach jedem Gebrauch gereinigt werden. Aber auch die eingesetzten Kunststofftüten sind problematisch, weil sie durch spitze Gegenstände wie Konservendosen und Glas leicht zerreißen.Such waste collection containers, as in the most varied versions on the Market offered serve household waste and especially kitchen waste of all kinds. It is inevitable that even liquid and pasteuse wastes that are inevitably too strong Soiling tends. This is countered by the fact that some of the waste collection containers with additional inner container, made of sheet metal or plastic, or by Inserting plastic bags. However, this is only the problem of pollution insufficiently resolved. The bins also get dirty and have to be practically re-used be cleaned each time it is used. But the plastic bags used are also problematic because they can easily get through pointed objects like cans and glass tear.

Aus US 5 562 592 A, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, ist eine Gefahr- oder Giftmülleinlagerungsvorrichtung mit einem Behälter bekannt, der aus blasgeformtem Polyvinylchlorid, silikonbeschichtetem Polyvinylchlorid, Polyethylen, bidirektionalem Polyproylen oder Polyurethan bestehen kann. Femer offenbart US 5 105 968 A ein Gehäuse mit einem entfembaren inneren Behälter, insbesondere für wiederverwertbares Altpapier, wobei das Gehäuse eine Drehtür aufweist, die mit einem reibungsvermindernden Material versehen sein kann. Außerdem ist aus EP 1 038 803 A1, einem nachveröffentlichten Dokument, ein Behälter mit einer inneren Beschichtung bekannt, die einen Gleiten begünstigenden oder antibakteriellen Zusatz aufweisen kann.From US 5 562 592 A, according to the preamble of claim 1, is a hazardous or toxic waste storage device with a Container known, made of blow molded polyvinyl chloride, silicone-coated Polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, bidirectional polypropylene or polyurethane can exist. US 5 105 968 A also discloses a housing with a removable inner container, in particular for recyclable waste paper, the housing having a revolving door, which can be provided with a friction-reducing material. EP 1 038 803 A1, a post-published document, a container with an inner Coating known to promote sliding or antibacterial additive can have.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Abfallsammelbehälter zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem die Verschmutzung und die danach notwendig werdende lästige Reinigung auf ein Minimum reduziert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a waste collection container, at the pollution and the necessary cleaning afterwards Minimum is reduced.

Dies wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Diese spezielle Innenschicht bringt eine deutlich verringerte Verschmutzungsneigung des Sammelbehälters. Diese Wirkung wird noch deutlich gesteigert, indem diese Schicht mit einer rauhen Oberfläche versehen ist. This is solved with the characterizing features of claim 1. This special Inner layer brings a significantly reduced tendency to pollution of the Collection container. This effect is significantly increased by using this layer has a rough surface.

Eine weitere zusätzliche Silikondeckschicht auf der rauhen Oberfläche reduziert die Schmutzaufnahme gegen null.Another additional silicone cover layer on the rough surface reduces the Dirt absorption towards zero.

Insbesondere beim Sammeln der Abfälle über einen längeren Zeitraum, was bei Single-Haushalten nichts Außergewöhnliches ist, besteht die Gefahr der starken Verkeimung der Abfälle. In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es deshalb besonders zweckmäßig, die Schicht mit einem antibakteriell wirkenden Zusatz zu versehen. Dabei bietet es sich an, ein derartiges Material als Füllmaterial zu verwenden. Hierbei haben sich Schwermetalle in geringer Konzentration (z. B. Silber und Kupfer) bewährt.Especially when collecting the waste over a long period of time, which is the case with single households is nothing unusual, there is a risk of strong contamination of the Waste. In a further embodiment of the invention, it is therefore particularly expedient that To provide the layer with an antibacterial additive. It is a good idea to to use such material as filling material. Here, heavy metals in low concentration (e.g. silver and copper) proven.

Claims (8)

  1. Waste container, at least the internal lining of which is composed of a dirt-repellent layer made of an adhesion-reducing polymer, characterized in that the layer is provided with a filler material with a grain size ≥ the thickness of the layer in order to produce a rough surface.
  2. Waste container according to Claim 1, characterized in that the thickness of the layer lies in a range between 5 µm and 20 µm, preferably between 7 µm and 15 µm, and the grain size is respectively 10% above the thickness of the layer.
  3. Waste container according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the layer is constructed in at least two stages, one partial layer being constructed by mixing filler material and the latter being sealed with a coating layer, preferably made of silicone material.
  4. Waste container according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the adhesion-reducing material contains PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).
  5. Waste container according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the adhesion-reducing material contains silicone.
  6. Waste container according to one of Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the layer is provided with an additive with an antibacterial effect.
  7. Waste container according to Claim 6, characterized in that this additive is used as a filler material.
  8. Waste container according to Claim 6 or 7, characterized in that the additive is composed of heavy metal (for example silver, copper) and/or sulphur.
