Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bin, and in particular to a bin suitable for allow selective sorting of household waste in the context of use domesticated.
  • the invention more particularly intends to remedy by offering a bin suitable for the selective sorting of household waste, including handling and access to the various compartments are easy and which allows a easy maintenance and cleaning.
  • the invention relates to a bin comprising at least two adjacent compartments of which at least one common side is delimited by a separating element, means adapted to maintain in position removably at least one separating element being positioned at the level or in the vicinity of the geometric center of the bottom of the bin, characterized in that that the means comprise a tubular element mounted to rotate freely around of an axis generally aligned with a central geometric axis of the bin which passes through or near the geometric center.
  • a bin is produced, the number and / or useful volume of which various compartments are easily modifiable, while retaining a dimensions suitable for domestic use, especially when integrated in a kitchen cabinet while the different compartments are easily accessible due to the fact that the tubular element holding the separating elements is free to rotate.
  • the trash 1 shown in Figure 1 is a cylindrical container with a circular base provided with a cover 2 operable using a pedal 3 by a set of rods known per se.
  • the useful volume V of the bin 1 is divided into several compartments, in this case four compartments C 0 , C 1 , C 2 , C 3 . These compartments extend over the entire height H of the cylinder forming the bin 1 and are delimited by separation elements.
  • These separating elements S 0 , S 1 , S 2 , S 3 are constituted by solid, flat and thin panels. These elements are generally in the form of rectangular parallelepipeds. They are positioned so as to have one of their long sides S g oriented in a direction generally parallel to the height H of the bin. These elements extend over a significant part of the height of the latter. They thus define, by their long sides S g , the useful height of the bin.
  • the short side S c of these elements has a length substantially less than the internal radius of the bin 1.
  • the elements S 0 , S 1 , S 2 , and S 3 are held in position by engagement of one of their long side with a part 4.
  • This part 4 visible in FIG. 2, is in the form of a tubular sheath engaged on an axis 5 of length slightly less than that of the sheath 4.
  • grooves 6 are formed on the outer wall 41 of the sheath 4. These grooves 6 have a U-shaped cross section and extend over the entire length of the sleeve 4 in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the latter. The grooves 6 are regularly distributed over the entire circumference of the external wall 41 of the sheath 4.
  • the grooves 6 form a plurality of slides whose shape and width are adapted to each receive a large side S g of an element of separation S 0 , S 1 , S 2 or S 3 .
  • Axis 5 is fixed, for example by welding, screwing or gluing, or came from material with a foot 7.
  • the axis 5 is oriented relative to the foot 7 so as to extend in a direction generally parallel to a longitudinal axis and central A-A 'of the bin in the direction of the upper opening of the latter, when the foot 7 rests on the bottom 8 of the trash 1.
  • the foot 7 is in the form of a circular piece, slightly curved upwards in the central part like a mushroom cap. This foot 7 has dimensions slightly smaller than those of the bottom 8 of the bin 1 of so as to be easily insertable therein.
  • Several orifices 9, of shape elongated, are formed in the foot 7. These orifices 9 are regularly distributed on the periphery of the foot 7 in the vicinity of the edge of the latter.
  • the foot 7 and the axis 5 are set up reversibly in the bin 1 and can be removed from it for cleaning.
  • Each separating element S 0 , S 1 , S 2 and S 3 comprises a small side S c which is slightly curved.
  • the curvature of this small side S c is complementary to the curvature of the convex upper face of the foot 7.
  • the separating elements S 0 to S 3 also include a support 11 for the trash bag.
  • Each support 11 is in the form of a wire element held in a position where it forms an angle with one of the faces of a separation element S 0 to S 3 which carries it.
  • Each separation element S 0 , S 1 , S 2 and S 3 is also equipped with devices 12 for holding the garbage bags in position. These devices 12 consist of clamps lockable in the closed position and connected to the separation element by an elastic connection, for example a rubber strap.
  • Inscriptions 13 made in relief as in FIG. 1, in Braille, with a color code, with letters or numbers, by printing, engraving or collage, are worn on the upper edge of each separating element and / or on the outer wall of the bin. In an embodiment not shown, these inscriptions are also included on the cover and / or the large faces of the separation elements. The inscriptions 13 make it possible to indicate the destination of each compartment for example, plastic, cardboard, glass.
  • the user of such a bin can, with a simple gesture, raise an element of separation and either remove it completely from the bin or place it in another groove 6 in order to vary the volume of the compartment according to its needs. Similarly, by removing or adding separation elements, the user can decrease or increase the number of compartments in the bin.
  • the devices 11 and 12 for supporting and holding the bags in the open position bin allow easy use of the bin. This use is all the more easier than it is enough to make a rotational movement to an element of separation around axis 5 to be able to bring a predetermined compartment in front of the user.
  • This rotation of the compartments around axis 5 is particularly interesting when the bin 1 is a built-in bin in a kitchen cabinet whose access is limited by the cabinet. Likewise in the case of such a built-in bin, when the bin bag is full, it is easy, by rotation, to present it in front of you to be able to extract it from the trash.
  • the orifices 9 formed in the foot 7 allow the flow in the volume 10 possible exudates. These liquids come, for example, from a tear in a garbage bag or user handling error.
  • Such a bin is preferably made of a light, rigid material, by example in polymer, for example by plastic injection, molding or roto molding. We can also consider its realization in other materials, for example in metal.
  • Lid 2 can be operated by a cable system when the bin is built into a piece of furniture.
  • this bin is equipped with bearing means such as omnidirectional rollers.
  • the different separation elements are mass-dyed for the purpose of identification.
  • the number and the profile of the grooves are different, for example, the grooves 6 have a V or Y cross section.
  • one of the edges of the separating element has a shape profile complementary.
  • the axis 5 is placed directly on the bottom 8 of the bin, this then being devoid of a foot 7, in this case the exudates are no longer collected in space 10 formed under the double bottom.
  • the cover 2 is provided with a protection device preventing the pinching of fingers, especially of children.
  • This device is, for example, a foam reinforcement on the lower edge of the cover.
  • the shape and the number of the orifices 9 are different of those shown.
  • the devices for supporting and / or holding the bags in position are also different, for example the device 12 is a hoop provided with spikes or replaced by notches on the upper edge of the separation elements.
