Description

La présente invention concerne le secteur de la collecte des déchets et plus particulièrement des dispositifs pour la collecte des déjections animales notamment canines.The present invention relates to the waste collection sector and more particularly devices for collecting droppings especially canine animals.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un boítier muni d'ouvertures ou fentes latérales de délivrance de sachets, une porte ou ouverture latérale pourvue d'une ouverture d'accès aménagée dans ladite porte ou ouverture latérale et qui permet d'introduire les sachets de ramassage usagés dans un sac de collecte qui se trouve à l'intérieur du boítier. L'intérieur du boítier comprend un chariot mobile qui peut être tiré par coulissement à l'extérieur du boítier et qui supporte un sachet de collecte des déchets.The device according to the invention comprises a housing provided with openings or side bag delivery slots, a side door or opening provided with an access opening arranged in said door or opening side and which allows the introduction of used collection bags in a collection bag which is inside the case. The interior of the case includes a movable cart that can be pulled out of the case and which supports a waste collection bag.

Le nombre d'animaux de compagnie dans les pays développés n'a cessé de croítre depuis des années. Cette population animale croissante, notamment des chiens et qui est particulièrement concentrée en milieu urbain ne va pas sans poser des problèmes.The number of pets in developed countries has stopped growing for years. This growing animal population, especially dogs and which is particularly concentrated in urban areas is not without problems.

En effet, par manque de moyens adaptés, les propriétaires de chiens par commodité laissent leur animal déféquer sur le domaine public, les trottoirs, les jardins publics, les squares, les bacs à sables réservés aux enfants..... Ce comportement engendre des problèmes de pollution olfactive, des problèmes d'hygiène, mais aussi des problèmes liés au risque de chute. Le problème des déjections canines est particulièrement aigu en milieu urbain, ceci en raison d'une concentration forte des déjections. Une telle pollution, est de plus en plus mal supportée notamment en milieu urbain et surtout par les personnes qui ne possèdent pas d'animal de compagnie. De plus, les budgets consentis par les villes pour le nettoyage sont en constante augmentation ce qui n'est pas supportable.Indeed, for lack of suitable means, dog owners by convenience let their animal defecate on public property, sidewalks, public gardens, squares, sandboxes reserved for children ..... This behavior causes odor pollution problems, hygiene problems, but also problems related to the risk of falling. The problem of dog excrement is particularly acute in urban areas, this is due to a high concentration of excrement. Such pollution is increasingly poorly supported, especially in urban areas and especially by people who do not have pets. Moreover, the city budgets for cleaning are constantly increase which is not bearable.

Des tentatives pour remédier à ces problèmes ont été faites, cependant il ne semble pas qu'elles aient rencontré un réel succès. En effet, dés le début des années 1980, des dispositifs de collecte des déjections canines ont été proposés, un tel dispositif est par exemple connu dans le document de brevet EP 0082118. Attempts to remedy these problems have been made, however it does not do not seem to have met with real success. Indeed, from the start 1980s, dog excrement collection devices were proposed, such a device is for example known in the document from Patent EP 0082118.

Ce document décrit un récipient à déchet qui comporte un bac sur lequel vient se fixer un sachet de collecte. Ce sac est maintenu par un couvercle par pincement du sac entre le couvercle et le bac qui sert de réceptacle. Le couvercle comprend une ouverture frontale pour introduire les déchets ainsi que des ouvertures ou fentes latérales de délivrance de sachets de ramassage de déjection canines. Les sachets étant stockés dans des logements aménagés à l'intérieur du couvercle.This document describes a waste container which includes a bin on which comes to fix a collection bag. This bag is held by a cover by pinching of the bag between the cover and the container which serves as a receptacle. The cover includes a front opening to introduce waste as well that side openings or slots for delivery of sachets of canine debris pickup. The sachets being stored in housings fitted inside the cover.

Ce type de dispositif s'il met à disposition des moyens pour permettre le ramassage des déjections, ne se préoccupe pas de la manière avec laquelle le récipient doit être vidé. En effet, en raison de sa conception, ce type de dispositif oblige l'opérateur qui est chargé de vider le récipient de soulever le couvercle, ce qui peut poser des problèmes, notamment en hiver où celui-ci peut être gelé et recouvert de glace et donc très difficile à soulever du fait de son adhésion avec de la glace à la partie du bac du récipient de collecte.This type of device if it provides means to allow the picking up droppings, don't worry about how the container must be emptied. Indeed, due to its design, this type of device forces the operator who is responsible for emptying the container to lift the cover, which can cause problems, especially in winter when it can be frozen and covered with ice and therefore very difficult to lift due to its adhesion with ice to the part of the bin of the collection container.

Un autre inconvénient de ce type de dispositif réside dans la préhension du sac elle-même pour le sortir du bac. En effet, pour sortir le sac du bac, l'opérateur est obligé de sortir ce dernier en le soulevant à la verticale hors du bac.Another drawback of this type of device lies in the grip of the bag itself to take it out of the bin. Indeed, to take the bag out of the bin, the operator is forced to remove the latter by lifting it vertically out of the tray.

Un inconvénient supplémentaire de ce genre de dispositif est que, l'opérateur qui veut vider le collecteur est obligé de se pencher au-dessus du sac pour le retirer du récipient, il est alors fortement incommodé par les odeurs qui s'en dégagent.An additional disadvantage of this kind of device is that, the operator who wants to empty the collector is obliged to bend over the bag to remove it from the container, it is then greatly inconvenienced by odors that emanate from it.

Cette manière d'opérer est très peu pratique, de plus en raison de la nature des déchets, des déjections canines, les sacs de collecte peuvent atteindre des poids dépassant 20 KG. Une telle masse, est très pénible à manipuler et oblige l'opérateur à faire un effort qui se concentre sur son dos. La répétition de cette manipulation, de nombreuses fois pendant le cycle de travail est pénible pour l'opérateur qui est sujet à des pathologies au niveau du dos ceci en relation avec son travail. Il semble qu'en raison de ces inconvénients, les dispositifs de ce type n'aient pas rencontré leur succès. This way of operating is very impractical, moreover due to the nature trash, dog excrement, collection bags can reach weights exceeding 20 KG. Such a mass is very difficult to handle and forces the operator to make an effort that focuses on his back. The repetition of this manipulation, many times during the cycle of work is painful for the operator who is subject to pathologies at the level from the back this in relation to his work. It seems that because of these disadvantages, devices of this type have not met with their success.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à de tels inconvénients en mettant à disposition un dispositif, pratique dans son utilisation. On comprendra mieux l'invention au regard des figures qui accompagnent la description et qui sont données à titre d'illustration d'un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention et qui ne limite pas l'invention bornée dans les revendications.The present invention proposes to remedy such drawbacks by providing a device, practical in its use. We will better understand the invention with regard to the figures which accompany the description and which are given by way of illustration of an embodiment preferred of the invention and which does not limit the limited invention in the claims.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre. The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which will to follow.

Le dispositif de collecte de déjection animales selon la présente invention comprend un boítier (1) qui est sensiblement cubique et qui présente une paroi supérieure d'un profil adapté pour le ruissellement de l'eau, par exemple un profil arrondi. Le boítier peut être fixé sur tout support, tel que par exemple un pied (2).The animal dejection collection device according to this invention comprises a housing (1) which is substantially cubic and which has an upper wall with a profile suitable for runoff from water, for example a rounded profile. The case can be fixed on any support, such as for example a foot (2).

Le dispositif comprend par ailleurs au moins une porte ou une paroi latérale amovible (3), au moins une ouverture (5) sur une des faces ou au niveau de la porte ou paroi latérale amovible pour l'introduction de déchets, au moins un orifice ou fente (9) pour la délivrance de sachets de ramassage (10). Ce(s) orifice(s) est/sont présents au niveau d'au moins une de ses faces ou au niveau de la porte ou paroi amovible.The device also comprises at least one door or a side wall removable (3), at least one opening (5) on one of the faces or at the removable door or side wall for the introduction of waste, at least one orifice or slot (9) for the delivery of collection bags (10). These) orifice (s) is / are present at at least one of its faces or at door level or removable wall.

Afin de maintenir les sachets de ramassage à l'intérieur du boítier, le collecteur comprend au moins un dispositif interne de support et de distribution (12) de sachets de ramassage qui sont par exemple en rouleau, lequel dispositif de support est adapté pour leur délivrance hors du boítier. Pour éviter une dissémination malveillante des déchets qui sont collectés à l'intérieur du collecteur, celui-ci est équipé d'un système de fermeture (11) de la porte.In order to keep the collection bags inside the box, the collector comprises at least one internal support and distribution device (12) for collection bags which are for example in a roll, which support is suitable for their delivery outside the housing. To avoid a malicious dissemination of the waste that is collected inside the collector, it is equipped with a door closing system (11).

Par ailleurs, la paroi inférieure du boítier est munie d'un ou plusieurs trous d'évacuation (14) dans sa paroi inférieure pour l'évacuation de l'eau en cas de nettoyage ou si de la pluie ou de la neige pénètre, cette paroi inférieure du boítier pourra présenter un profil adapté pour favoriser l'écoulement de l'eau en direction des trous d'évacuation.Furthermore, the bottom wall of the housing is provided with one or more holes drain (14) in its lower wall for the evacuation of water in case cleaning or if rain or snow enters, this bottom wall of the housing may have a suitable profile to promote the flow of water in the direction of the drainage holes.

Enfin, le collecteur abrite un chariot mobile (15) qui est prévu pour maintenir ouvert un sachet de collecte de déchets (21) et qui est adapté pour être sorti par la porte dudit boítier par traction.Finally, the collector houses a mobile carriage (15) which is designed to hold opened a waste collection bag (21) which is adapted to be taken out through the door of said housing by traction.

Ce chariot mobile présente un profil latéral sensiblement en forme de U renversé qui est constitué par un plateau supérieur (17) relié à une paroi dorsale (18) et un plateau inférieur (19) pourvu d'au moins un trou (16) pour l'évacuation des liquides. De plus, le plateau inférieur du chariot mobile repose sur des moyens, par exemple des glissières (24) qui sont disposées sur la face interne de la paroi inférieure du boítier. Ces moyens coopèrent avec des moyens adaptés et qui sont présents sur la face interne de la paroi inférieure du boítier. La fonction de ces moyens est de permettre le coulissement du chariot hors du boítier. Le chariot comprend en outre des moyens pour arrêter sa course hors du boítier et pour empêcher son renversement lorsqu'il est sorti.This mobile carriage has a substantially U-shaped side profile overturned which is constituted by an upper plate (17) connected to a wall back protector (18) and a lower plate (19) provided with at least one hole (16) for evacuation of liquids. In addition, the lower plate of the mobile carriage rests on means, for example slides (24) which are arranged on the inner face of the lower wall of the housing. These means cooperate with suitable means which are present on the internal face from the bottom wall of the case. The function of these means is to allow sliding the carriage out of the housing. The carriage further includes means to stop its race out of the housing and to prevent its overturning when it came out.

Le plateau supérieur est muni d'une ouverture (20) de profil adapté de préférence sans accident pour pouvoir maintenir par pincement et sans le déchirer avec une bague de serrage adapté un sachet de collecte des déchets (21).The upper plate is provided with an opening (20) with a profile adapted to preferably accident-free to be able to hold by pinching and without tear with a suitable clamping ring a sachet for collecting waste (21).

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le chariot mobile est constitué par le seul plateau supérieur, ce qui permet de faire tomber le sac de collecte directement dans un véhicule de transport une fois que celui-ci est libéré.In another embodiment of the invention, the mobile carriage is constituted by the only upper plate, which allows the bag to fall directly in a transport vehicle once it is released.

Le plateau supérieur est muni d'une bague de serrage rabattable (23) fixée sur le plateau ou au niveau de l'arête formée par le plateau supérieur et la paroi dorsale du chariot, cette bague de serrage présente un contour adapté pour s'emboíter au moins partiellement dans l'ouverture du plateau et maintenir par pincement un sac de collecte des sachets de ramassage et des déchets.The upper plate has a folding clamping ring (23) attached on the plate or at the edge formed by the upper plate and the back wall of the carriage, this clamping ring has a suitable contour to fit at least partially into the opening of the tray and pinch hold a collection bag of collection bags and waste.

De plus, le chariot comprend une tige de rigidification (27) servant également de poignée et qui relie le plateau supérieur et le plateau inférieur, cette tige évite que le plateau supérieur ne s'incline sous le poids du sac lorsque celui-ci est plein.In addition, the carriage includes a stiffening rod (27) also serving handle and which connects the upper plate and the lower plate, this rod prevents the upper plate from tilting under the weight of the bag when it is full.

Enfin pour éviter que le sac n'accroche lors de sa sortie du boítier, le plateau inférieur du chariot mobile est muni de rebords latéraux (22). Ceux-ci permettent de délimiter des espaces supplémentaires pour l'entreposage de sachets en réserve comme on peut le voir à la figure 2 Finally to prevent the bag from hanging when it comes out of the case, the tray lower of the mobile carriage is provided with lateral flanges (22). These allow to define additional spaces for storage of sachets in reserve as can be seen in Figure 2

A l'intérieur du boítier se trouve fixée sur chacune des faces internes des parois latérales du boítier de préférence dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de la paroi latérale, une tablette de support (29).Inside the case is fixed on each of the internal faces of the side walls of the housing preferably in a plane perpendicular to the side wall plane, a support shelf (29).

Ces tablettes servent de support au plateau supérieur et sont munies de moyens adaptés pour coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires présents sur la face inférieure du plateau (17) pour permettre le coulissement et le guidage du chariot hors du boítier. Ces moyens seront par exemple une ou plusieurs rainures d'un profil adapté pour coopérer avec une nervure correspondante de la face inférieure du plateau et possédant un moyen d'arrêt du coulissement. Ces moyens pour faire coulisser le plateau pourront être tous moyens universels connus.These shelves support the upper shelf and are provided with means adapted to cooperate with complementary means present on the underside of the plate (17) to allow sliding and guiding the carriage out of the housing. These means will for example one or more grooves of a profile adapted to cooperate with a rib corresponding to the underside of the tray and having a means sliding stop. These means for sliding the tray may to be all known universal means.

De plus, à l'intérieur du boítier se trouvent deux parois latérales inclinées (47) dont la pente descendante est dirigée à partir des faces des parois latérales en direction de l'ouverture du sachet de collecte.In addition, inside the housing are two inclined side walls (47) whose downward slope is directed from the sides of the side walls towards the opening of the collection bag.

Le collecteur comprend en outre au moins un dispositif de support (12) et de distribution de sachets qui est fixé au niveau de la face interne d'au moins une paroi du boítier et/ou au niveau de la porte, ceci au niveau d'un orifice ou fente de délivrance des sachets, ceci de préférence au dessus des tablettes supports. Ces dispositifs de distribution servent de logement support pour recevoir par exemple des rouleaux de sachets pour le ramassage. Les sachets seront de préférence reliés entre eux afin que lorsqu'un sachet a été prélevé, le suivant se trouve dans la bonne position pour être prélevé à son tour.The collector further comprises at least one support device (12) and distribution of sachets which is fixed at the internal face of at least one wall of the housing and / or at the door, this at an orifice or sachet delivery slot, preferably above the shelves supports. These distribution devices serve as support housing for receive for example rolls of sachets for pickup. The sachets should preferably be linked together so that when a sachet has been the next one is in the right position to be picked up at his tower.

Ces dispositifs de distribution présentent un profil latéral sensiblement similaire à un L capital d'imprimerie, ces dispositifs de distribution peuvent présenter une dimension en largeur qui peut être égale à la largeur des parois latérales du boítier ou une largeur inférieure mais sensiblement équivalente à la largeur des sachets afin de leur assurer un bon maintien.These distribution devices have a substantially lateral profile similar to a printing capital L, these distribution devices can have a width dimension which may be equal to the width of the side walls of the housing or a width which is smaller but substantially equivalent to the width of the sachets to ensure good support.

De plus l'angle entre les 2 barres du L est supérieur à 90 °et inférieur ou égal à 180°. In addition the angle between the 2 bars of the L is greater than 90 ° and less than or equal 180 °.

Afin d'éviter une dissémination malveillante des déchets collectés, le collecteur est pourvu d'un système de fermeture de la porte ou paroi latérale amovible. Ce système de fermeture du collecteur est tout dispositif de verrouillage et de fermeture universel de porte connu.In order to avoid malicious dissemination of the waste collected, the collector is fitted with a door or side wall closure system removable. This collector closing system is any universal locking and closing of known door.

Ce dispositif de verrouillage (11) de la porte, dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention comprend un verrou de commande (36) d'une plaque de préférence plate et rigide (37) qui est fixée de manière libre en rotation en son milieu sur la face interne de la porte lorsque le verrou est déverrouillé.This door locking device (11), in one embodiment preferred of the invention comprises a control lock (36) of a plate preferably flat and rigid (37) which is fixed in free rotation in the middle on the inside of the door when the lock is unlocked.

Sur la plaque (37) sont fixées de manière libre en rotation à une de leur extrémité, deux tringles de fermeture (39 a, 39b) de part et d'autre de l'axe de rotation de la plaque plate et rigide. Lorsqu'un opérateur ouvre la porte à l'aide d'une clé, il provoque le pivotement de la plaque et simultanément un mouvement vertical de montée de la tringle (39b) et un mouvement vertical vers le bas de la tringle (39a) ce qui provoque le déverrouillage de la porte. Par ailleurs, le système de fermeture comporte des guides (40) pour les tringles (39a, 39b) qui sont par exemple fixés sur la face interne de la paroi frontale ou de la porte.On the plate (37) are fixed freely in rotation to one of their end, two closing rods (39 a, 39b) on either side of the axis of rotation of the flat and rigid plate. When an operator opens the door to using a wrench, it causes the plate to pivot and simultaneously vertical movement of the rod (39b) and a vertical movement down the rod (39a) which causes the door to unlock. Furthermore, the closure system includes guides (40) for the rods (39a, 39b) which are for example fixed on the internal face of the wall front or door.

Pour permettre le passage de la tringle supérieure (39a) le plateau supérieur comprend au niveau de son arête frontale, une encoche de passage (41) de la tringle (39a).To allow the passage of the upper rod (39a) the upper plate comprises at its front edge, a passage notch (41) of the rod (39a).

Pour que la fermeture soit efficace, la face interne de la paroi inférieure du boítier est munie par exemple, d'une encoche (43) adaptée pour accueillir l'extrémité libre de la tringle de fermeture (39 b) qui lorsqu'elle y pénètre bloque la porte.For the closure to be effective, the internal face of the lower wall of the case is provided for example with a notch (43) adapted to accommodate the free end of the closing rod (39 b) which when it enters it blocks the door.

A l'intérieur du boítier se trouvent deux parois latérales inclinées (47) dont la pente est dirigée à partir des faces des parois latérales en direction de l'ouverture du sachet de collecte. Ces deux parois inclinées sont fixées de manière libre en rotation entre les parois frontales et dorsales du boítier de telle manière qu'elles puissent être rabattues et relevées. Les parois (47) sont munies de tous moyens universels connus pour permettre leur rotation autour d'un axe (A) qui est situé au niveau d'une des arêtes de la paroi (47).Inside the housing are two inclined side walls (47), the slope is directed from the sides of the side walls towards opening the collection bag. These two inclined walls are fixed freely rotating between the front and back walls of the housing so that they can be folded down and raised. The walls (47) are provided with all known universal means to allow their rotation about an axis (A) which is located at one of the edges of the wall (47).

Le rôle de ces parois à l'intérieur du boítier est d'éviter que des sachets de ramassage usagés qui sont jetés à l'intérieur du boítier ne restent sur les tablettes.The role of these walls inside the housing is to prevent sachets of used pickup that is discarded inside the housing does not remain on the tablets.

Les parois inclinées (47), lorsqu'elles sont rabattues délimitent avec les tablettes de support et les parois latérales un espace (E) qui peut servir de logement pour entreposer des sacs de ramassage comme on peut le voir à la figure 2. Ces parois inclinées peuvent être munies d'un dispositif (49) afin d'éviter qu'une personne ne s'empare des sachets qui sont éventuellement stockés dans l'espace (E).The inclined walls (47), when folded down, delimit with the support shelves and the side walls a space (E) which can serve as housing to store collection bags as can be seen at Figure 2. These inclined walls can be provided with a device (49) to to prevent a person from taking the sachets which are possibly stored in space (E).

Enfin pour éviter que de l'eau ou de la neige ne s'introduisent à l'intérieur du boítier, toutes les ouvertures ou fentes qui sont présentes au niveau du boítier et de la porte sont protégées de l'eau et de la neige par une languette (45) issue de la paroi dudit boítier ou de la porte ou paroi latérale amovible ou bien encore par un élément fixé sur la paroi du type marquise.Finally to prevent water or snow from getting inside the housing, all the openings or slots which are present at the level of the housing and door are protected from water and snow by a tab (45) from the wall of said housing or from the door or side wall removable or even by an element fixed to the wall of the canopy type.

On se rend compte après cette description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation préféré selon l'invention que les inconvénients que présentaient les dispositifs de l'art antérieur sont éliminés. En effet, en raison du boítier monobloc, les problèmes liés à l'ouverture du compartiment qui abrite le sac de collecte dans les dispositifs selon l'art antérieur sont éliminés, l'ouverture du compartiment reste aisée en toute circonstance. Bien entendu, la ou les ouvertures pour l'introduction des déchets pourront être présentes sur n'importe quelle face du boítier sauf naturellement la face inférieure.We realize after this detailed description of an embodiment preferred according to the invention that the disadvantages presented by prior art devices are eliminated. Indeed, because of the housing monobloc, problems with opening the compartment that houses the bag in the devices according to the prior art are eliminated, the opening compartment is easy in all circumstances. Of course, the openings for the introduction of waste may be present on any side of the case except naturally the underside.

De plus, pour sortir le sac de collecte, il suffit que l'opérateur tire sur le chariot pour faire sortir celui-ci, il ne lui reste plus alors qu'à soulever la bague de serrage du sachet pour libérer ce dernier et le faire glisser dans un véhicule de récupération, ceci sans avoir à se pencher au-dessus du sachet et sans avoir à le soulever et ainsi être soumis aux odeurs.In addition, to remove the collection bag, the operator just has to pull on the cart to bring it out, it only remains to lift the ring tightening the bag to release it and slide it into a vehicle recovery, without having to bend over the sachet and without have to lift it and thus be subject to odors.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention pourra naturellement être réalisé dans tout matériau adapté et intéressant d'un simple point de vue économique tel que par exemple du métal ou une matière plastique adaptée et à partir d'éléments de base qui seront facilement disponibles dans le commerce.The device according to the present invention can naturally be produced in any suitable and interesting material from a simple point of view economical such as for example metal or a suitable plastic and from basic elements that will be readily available in the trade.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les éléments internes du dispositif de collecte, tels que la bague de serrage (23), le chariot (15), les rebords latéraux (22), les tablettes de support (29), les parois latérales inclinées (47), le dispositif de support et de distribution (12), les sachets de collecte et de ramassage sont réalisés en une matière plastique du type polyéthylène haute densité (PEHD), polyéthylène basse densité (PEBD) ou analogue, comprenant une fragrance.In a particular embodiment, the internal elements of the device collection, such as the clamping ring (23), the carriage (15), the flanges side (22), the support shelves (29), the inclined side walls (47), the support and distribution device (12), the collection and collection are made of a plastic material of the polyethylene type high density (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) or the like, including a fragrance.

Cette fragrance permet de parfumer l'intérieur du dispositif de collecte, ainsi que les sachets lors de leur extraction hors du dispositif, de manière à masquer l'odeur nauséabonde des déjections animales. La durée de libération de la fragrance dépendra du type de matériau et de la fragrance utilisés.This fragrance allows the interior of the collection device to be perfumed, thus as the sachets when they are extracted from the device, so that mask the foul smell of animal droppings. The duration of release of the fragrance will depend on the type of material and the fragrance used.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif selon l'invention est équipé d'un dispositif sonore qui est activé lorsqu'un utilisateur extrait un sachet hors du dispositif de collecte. Ce dispositif sonore est alimenté par un moyen connu de l'homme du métier tel qu'une batterie alimentée par panneau solaire, ou une prise d'électricité.In another particular embodiment, the device according to the invention is equipped with a sound device which is activated when a user extracts a sachet outside the collection device.
