1 shows a waste container cabinet 1 according to the invention shown. The waste container cabinet 1 has a housing 2 on, which is poured from concrete in a preferred embodiment is. The housing 2 has on its front side visible in the figure an opening through which in this embodiment two garbage cans 5 set in the housing 2 and for emptying can be removed and through which the garbage cans 5 can be filled with household waste, for example. Usual 2401 come as garbage cans 5, for example Vessels for use.

The opening in the housing 2 can by articulated on the housing 2 Doors 3 and 4 flaps are closed. The flap 4 becomes pivotable on the housing via a hinge 40 2 hinged. The door 3 is, as will be shown later, on the one hand as seen in Figure 1, its lower horizontal Axis 30 can be pivoted, but on the other hand also by one on one outer side of the housing 2 lying axis pivotable articulated. This makes it possible to use the garbage cans 5 for filling with waste together with the door 3 um to pivot the lower horizontal axis 30 of the door 3, as in Figure 1 with the left garbage can 5 and the left Door 3 shown. For emptying the garbage cans 5, for example through a waste disposal company, the door 3 can then by one vertical axis of the door 3 are pivoted and the respective Garbage can 5 removed from the housing 2 and back in this can be set.

In the position of the left garbage can 5 shown in FIG. 1 this is pivoted in the same direction with the door 3 to make it simple Filling the garbage can 5 by users enable. Since the rear side of the garbage can 5 through the Swiveling movement is raised, it hits the flap 4 which is also deflected as a result.

The right door 3 shown in FIG. 1 has a schematic here shown hand lever 6, with a further Mechanism shown below the pivot axis of the respective Door 3 can be set. This hand lever 6 is on everyone the doors 3 present, in Figure 1 the clarity for the sake of illustration only on the right door 3. The hand lever 6 can be made lockable via a lock. The The lock is used only to fill the authorized persons to allow each container with waste and one Prevent theft of garbage cans.

In Figure 2 is the waste container cabinet known from Figure 1 1 shown in a sectional view. Here again is that Housing 2, the door 3, the flap 4 and the garbage can 5 can be seen. The front garbage can 5 is here in one pivoted position and the rear garbage can 5 is in shown in a position set in the housing 2, accordingly the arrangement known from Figure 1. The garbage cans 5 are in the waste container cabinet 1 according to the invention open lid 51 set for easy filling to enable.

A pivoting of the door 3 around the horizontal below Axis 30 of door 3 results in the illustrated embodiment at the same time in a swiveling of the garbage can 5. This is achieved in that a tilting element 7 on which the garbage can 5 is connected to the door 3 by a chain 8 is. When pivoting the door 3 around her horizontal axis 30 lying below becomes tilting element 7 also brought into a tilted position via the chain 8, whereby the tilting movement of the one on it Garbage can 5 is initiated and supported. The garbage can 5 is tilted about the axis 50 by the wheel axis the garbage can 5 is formed. The link point of the chain 8 on door 3 is in the lower area of door 3, so that a strong leverage when operating door 3 on the their top attached opening strip 16 results. Also heavy, completely filled garbage cans 5 can therefore simply swing out of the housing 2. Since the axis 50 the garbage can 5 and the lower horizontal axis 30 of the door 3 does not coincide when swiveling the garbage can 5 that it slides down the door 3 a bit and thereby in a comfortable filling position is moved.

In Figures 3 to 5, the door 3 is with a control mechanism to control the respective pivot axis of the door 3 in different Tax positions shown. The control mechanism for Control of the respective pivot axis of the door 3 consists in Essentially from a linkage 9, which, among other things, in two End regions 91 and 92 ends. Grasp the end regions 91 and 92 in each case on the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1 introduced bushings, not shown here. The area of intervention 91 is responsible for pivoting the door 3 about its vertical axis and the area of engagement 92 for pivoting the door 3 about its horizontal Pivot axis. There is a fixed, non-adjustable engagement area 90 provided, which is always in engagement with the Housing 2 stands. This fixed engagement area 90 forms together with one of the two detachable ones Engagement areas 91, 92 the respective pivot axes of the door 3 out. The linkage 9 is again detailed in Figure 6 shown.

The engagement areas 91, 92 that in the present embodiment only through a narrow, through the linkage 9 predefined area can be in a Another embodiment, not shown here, also extend the whole side of door 3. It is, for example advantageous, the engagement area 91, 92 at several To provide positions of the respective door side so as to switchable door hinge with several connection points, for example in the manner of a piano tape. Through the use of an extensive area of engagement the respective side of the door can be stable to one narrow engagement area can be improved.

The linkage 9, as can be seen in Figure 3, over two Lever elements 10 with the, not shown here, on the other side of the door 3 located hand lever 6 connected. A pivoting of the hand lever 6 therefore results in a displacement of the linkage 9 in the vertical direction.

In Figure 3, a position is shown in which the door 3 around whose lower horizontal axis can be pivoted. Therefore engage the lower engagement area 92 of the linkage 9 and the fixed engagement area 90 in not shown here Bushings in the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1. Through the engagement area 92 of the linkage 9 and the fixed Engagement area 90 thus becomes the lower horizontal pivot axis the door 3 defined.

In Figure 4, the linkage 9 and thus the door 3 in one Position shown in which all three engagement areas 90, 91, 92 engaged with bushings in the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1 stand. The door 3 is therefore in the position in FIG. 4 shown position of the linkage 9 in a completely locked Position and can not be pivoted in any direction become.

In Figure 5, the door is in the third possible position of the Linkage 9 shown. The linkage 9 is now at the upper stop arrived at its possible setting range. The Engagement area 92 is therefore no longer in engagement with its corresponding socket in the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1. In contrast, the engagement area 91 is now which is provided at the upper end of the linkage 9, in engagement with a corresponding one, not shown here Socket in the housing 2. The fixed engagement area 90 is still engaged with its socket. In this case the pivot axis of the door 3 now through the two engagement areas 91 and 90 defined and the door 3 can now by one vertical axis can be pivoted.

In Figure 6 is the linkage 9 with the two engagement areas 92 and 91 are shown. A vertical one Shifting the linkage 9 results in a shift of the engaging portions 91 and 92, which are thereby either separately or both simultaneously with corresponding sockets are brought into engagement in the housing 2. Still is to recognize a locking mask 93 described below, the two different position recesses 930 has and which is connected directly to the linkage 9.

A locking mechanism 11 is shown in FIG incorrect operation of the linkage 9, for example by actuation of the hand lever 6 prevented. The Locking mechanism 11 consists of a locking lever 12, which in its central region on an axis of rotation 122 is pivotally mounted. The locking lever 12 is on its hook-shaped upper end 123 in the closed Position of the door 3 from the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1 pressed against a spring 120.

When the door 3 is opened, the bias of the spring 120 presses the locking lever 12 against a locking mask 93, which is directly connected to the linkage 9, and in the two position recesses 930 are provided. The locking lever 12 has a locking pin 121 which in Engagement with those in the locking mask 93 Position recesses 930 comes when the linkage 9 in the open Condition of door 3 is moved a little.

The locking mask 93 is attached to the linkage 9, so that the linkage 9 in the open state of the door when engaged Locking pin 121 in the position recesses 930 of the locking mask 93 cannot be moved. By this configuration is an accidental pivoting of the avoided with the linkage 9 connected hand lever 6 and the respective engagement areas 91, 92 can in open state of the door 3 is not out of engagement with the respective sockets come. This blocking takes place both in in the case of the horizontal as well as in the case of the vertical Swivel axis instead. The door 3 can therefore by accidental actuation of the hand lever 6 in an open Position of the operator does not contradict.

When the door 3 is closed, the housing 2 of the waste container cabinet presses 1 again against the hook-shaped area 123 of the locking lever 12 which against its spring 120 Axis of rotation 122 is rotated. The locking pin 121 comes thus again out of engagement with the position recesses 930 the locking mask 93. This will actuate the Linkage 9 by the hand lever 6 in the closed state the door 3 again.

In Figure 8 is a waste container cabinet 1 with a set Garbage can 5 to see, the lid 51 is open. The opened garbage can 5 is covered by a cover element 14 covered, which is articulated on an axis 140 to the housing 2 is. A pivot lever 15 is mechanical on the one hand Connection with the cover member 14 and on the other hand in contact with a back of the garbage can 5. The pivoting lever 15 ensures the garbage can 5 in the position shown in FIG for the cover element 14 being pressed onto the garbage can 5 becomes.

The pivot lever 15 is against the housing with a spring 150 2 biased. The preload by the spring 150 causes, as shown in Figure 9, in a pivoted Position of the garbage can 5, the cover member 14 of the garbage can 5 is lifted off and the opening of the garbage can 5 is released. The position of the axis 140 at which the cover member 14 is hinged to the housing 2, can at least adjust in height. This is achieved that a link bracket is attached in oblong holes and so a height adjustment of the axis 140 can be carried out. The covering element 14 can thus be placed on the waste container 5 set different dimensions.

The cover element 14 ensures that the open, in the Waste container cabinet 1 set garbage can closed is and does not represent an unpleasant smell. In an advantageous Embodiment is in the cover member 14 Integrated odor filter, for example an activated carbon filter, of the fermentation gases generated in the garbage can 5 first filters and only then released into the environment.

Figure 10 shows a waste container cabinet according to the invention 1 in a further variant. The waste bin cabinet 1 again has a housing 2, which on its in the figure visible front has an opening through which also in this embodiment, two garbage cans 5 in the housing 2 can be set and removed for emptying and through which the garbage cans 5 with household waste, for example can be filled. The opening is with the two Doors 3 lockable, the one on the left in the figure Side arranged door 3 in one around its lower horizontal Axis 30 and the door 3 arranged on the right side around its vertical axis 31 is pivoted. In contrast to the 1 and 2 embodiment shown here no flap 4 is used. The doors 3 Rather extend over the entire height of the opening in the Housing 2 of the waste container cabinet 1.

In Figure 11 is an interior view of the waste bin cabinet 1 shown in Figure 10. With the door 3, as already described, a tilting element 7 connected, when pivoting the door 3 about its lower horizontal axis 30 the tilting movement the waste bins on it supports. Furthermore, the cover element 14 is also described shown that on a rear wall of the housing 2 on an axis 140 is pivotally articulated. The pivot lever 15 comes when adjusting and / or swiveling the waste bin in contact with their back and is so on the respective Waste bin pressed on.
