Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refuse collection container of the kind described in the introduction to claim 1.
- the handle or hand grip is firmly attached by being either screwed, glued or cast integrally with the container.
- the lid or lids closing the opening at the top of the container can be opened only to the side/sides of the container where the hand grip is not mounted.
- the hand grip When the refuse collection container is to be placed in a refuse chute the hand grip will be facing forward towards the user or the renovation worker, and thereby obstruct the opening and closing of the lids and the charging of material.
- the permanently mounted hand grip will present a space problem with regard to the firmly attached hand grips in the case of storing and transportation of refuse collection containers.
- hinges can be arranged so that the lid or lids can be opened to all sides, and that the hand grip is no obstruction when the container is in use.
- Claim 2 deals with a preferred attachment of the hand grip so that it can be displaced in the upward or downward direction.
- Claim 3 deals with a preferred embodiment of the guiding grooves so that the hand grip is easy to mount.
- Claim 4 deals with preferred means for the locking of the hand grip in its upper operational position and releasing when it is to be lowered.
- Claim 6 deals with a preferred material for the production of the locking grip for a refuse collection container according to the invention.
- fig. 1 shows a refuse collection container according to the invention, viewed from the rear, with the hand grip in its raised operational position
- fig. 2 is an illustration corresponding to that in fig. 1 in which the hand grip is lowered to its lowest position
- fig. 3 is a sectional view after the line l-l in fig. 1 in the refuse collection container with the hand grip locked in the operational position,
- fig. 4 is a larger scale illustration of a part of the hand grip and the locking grip in engagement with the upper edge of the refuse collection container
- fig. 5 is a larger-scale partial section in a refuse collection container according to the invention and a corresponding hand grip in which a spring in the hand grip is engaged in a groove in the container
- a spring in the hand grip is engaged in a groove in the container
- fig. 6 is a partial sectional view of a hand grip mounted in the upper operational position of a container according to the invention and the hand grip detached.
- a refuse collection container 1 is embodied with a bottom 2 on which is mounted a shaft 3 for two rolling wheels 4.
- the container 1 has a front 5 and a rear 6 limiting surfaces and two side surfaces 7 and 8.
- the two limiting surfaces and side surfaces end in a circumferential edge 9 on which is mounted fittings for two sets of hinge pins 11 , which are oriented in parallel with the edge 9 along the corresponding side surface.
- On each set of hinge pins is mounted a lid 12.
- On the limiting surface 6 is mounted a hand grip 13.
- the hand grip 13 is mounted displaceably in the upward and downward directions on the limiting surface 6 between an upper operational position, in which the top portion 14 of the hand grip is raised a distance - figs. 1 ,3 and 6 - above the edge 9 by means provided for the locking and unlocking of the hand grip, and a lower position in which the upper portion 14 of the hand grip is approximately level with the edge 9.
- the hand grip can be embodied as a bowed member consisting of an upper horizontal branch 14 and two side branches 15, which at the bottom are mutually attached to a plate member 16.
- the side branches 15 can be bent so that the upper part of the side branches is turned backwards obliquely from the horizontal branch 14.
- a lid 12 can be tilted in over the hand grip 13, when the latter is in its lower position and come to rest against the side branches 15.
- the hinges 10,11 are embodied so that an opposite lid 12, which is hinged to an edge 9 along the limiting surface 5, can be tilted 270° from the closed position to a position in which it hangs vertically down along the limiting surface 5.
- the hand grip 13 is embodied with two springs 17, which are arranged at a distance from each other so that they can move each in its own groove 18 in or on the limiting surface 6.
- the springs 17 can, as shown, have the geometry of a T, and the grooves 18 are designed to accommodate the spring so that the latter can be moved longitudinally in the groove, but cannot be pulled sideways out of engagement.
- the grooves 18 are open at the lowest end 18'.
- the hand grip 13 can therefore be mounted when the springs 17 are inserted into the grooves 18 from below.
- the hand grip can be locked in an upper operational position by means of a locking grip 19, which can be attached to the plate member 16.
- the locking grip 19 is - as shown in fig. 4 - embodied with a handle 20 and a protruding part 21 , which on the underside has a notch shaped with a horizontal contact face 22 and a vertical contact face 23, which in their operational positions come to rest against an upper side 24 and a side surface 25, respectively, on the upper edge 9.
- the upper edge 9 - at least at an area level with the locking grip 19 - is embodied so that together with the limiting surface 6 it has the shape of an inverted U with an inside opening 26.
- the locking grip 19 is embodied with a projection 27 shaped and mounted in such a way that during the upper upward-going movement of the locking grip 19, where the protruding part 22 has come to rest against the surface 25, is moved up into the opening 26.
