Description

La présente invention a pour objet un réceptacle destiné à être disposé dans une cuve d'un bac de collecte de déchets et un ensemble comportant deux réceptacles assemblés.The present invention relates to a receptacle intended to be disposed in a tank of a waste collection tank and an assembly comprising two assembled receptacles.

On connaît par la demande internationale WO 95/21783 un bac roulant de collecte de déchets comportant une cuve à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposée une cloison définissant dans la cuve deux compartiments séparés.We know by international demand WO 95/21783 a rolling bin for waste collection comprising a tank inside which is disposed a partition defining in the tank two separate compartments.

Ce type de bac est notamment utilisé dans le cadre du tri sélectif des déchets. Il est possible d'accroître le nombre d'espaces de stockage séparés dans ce type de bacs en mettant en place dans la cuve un ensemble comportant deux cavités, chacune venant se loger dans un compartiment de la cuve. Un tel ensemble réalisé d'un seul tenant est illustré dans le modèle suédois n° 67450.This type of bin is used in particular for the selective sorting of waste. It is possible to increase the number of separate storage spaces in this type of tanks by setting up in the tank a set comprising two cavities, each housed in a compartment of the tank. Such an assembly made in one piece is illustrated in the Swedish model No. 67450.

On connaît par le brevet US 5 558 254 un conteneur formé d'un corps monolithe en résine plastique comprenant deux compartiments réalisés d'un seul tenant l'un avec l'autre.We know by the patent US 5,558,254 a container formed of a monolithic body of plastic resin comprising two compartments made in one piece with each other.

On connaît par le modèle d'utilité allemand DE 91 10230.8 U1 un réceptacle selon le préambule de la revendication 1.We know by the German utility model DE 91 10230.8 U1 a receptacle according to the preamble of claim 1.

L'invention vise notamment à permettre l'adaptation du compartimentage de l'espace intérieur d'une cuve d'un bac de collecte de déchets en fonction des besoins du tri sélectif.The invention aims in particular to allow the adaptation of the compartmentalization of the interior space of a tank of a waste collection tank according to the needs of selective sorting.

L'invention a pour objet un récéptacle tel que défini dans la revendication 1.The subject of the invention is a receptacle as defined in claim 1.

Grâce à l'invention, du fait que le réceptacle peut être utilisé seul ou en étant assemblé avec un autre réceptacle de manière à former un ensemble, il est possible de ménager dans la cuve trois ou quatre espaces de stockage séparés, constitués, d'une part, par les deux compartiments de la cuve séparés par la cloison et, d'autre part, par le ou les deux réceptacles.Thanks to the invention, because the receptacle can be used alone or by being assembled with another receptacle so as to form an assembly, it is possible to provide in the tank three or four separate storage spaces, consisting of on the one hand, by the two compartments of the tank separated by the partition and, on the other hand, by the one or both receptacles.

Ainsi, il est possible, selon les besoins du tri sélectif, de réaliser dans la cuve un nombre plus ou moins important d'espaces de stockage séparés.Thus, it is possible, according to the needs of the selective sorting, to realize in the tank a more or less large number of separate storage spaces.

De plus, il est possible d'assembler deux réceptacles réalisés dans des couleurs différentes, de manière à pouvoir former un code de couleurs, l'un des réceptacles pouvant être réalisé dans une couleur correspondant à un premier type de déchets, et l'autre réceptacle dans une couleur différente correspondant à un second type de déchets.In addition, it is possible to assemble two receptacles made in different colors, so as to form a color code, one of the receptacles can be made in a color corresponding to a first type of waste, and the other receptacle in a different color corresponding to a second type of waste.

Enfin la fabrication, par exemple par moulage, de réceptacles séparés est plus aisée que dans le cas d'ensembles avec des cavités multiples, comme ceux décrits dans le modèle n° 67450 précité, du fait de dimensions plus faibles.Finally, the manufacture, for example by molding, of separate receptacles is easier than in the case of assemblies with multiple cavities, such as those described in the model No. 67450 cited above, because of smaller dimensions.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le réceptacle comporte un bord d'assemblage sensiblement rectiligne le long duquel sont disposés lesdits moyens d'assemblage.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the receptacle comprises a substantially rectilinear assembly edge along which said assembly means are arranged.

Les moyens d'assemblage peuvent être agencés pour permettre un assemblage par l'intermédiaire de vis.The assembly means can be arranged to allow assembly by means of screws.

En variante, les moyens d'assemblage comportent au moins un palier apte à être positionné dans l'alignement d'un palier d'un autre réceptacle, les paliers étant agencés pour permettre l'introduction d'une tige de liaison.Alternatively, the assembly means comprise at least one bearing adapted to be positioned in alignment with a bearing of another receptacle, the bearings being arranged to allow the introduction of a connecting rod.

Le réceptacle comporte de préférence une partie de préhension située à l'avant, agencée pour permettre à un dispositif de levage d'un véhicule de ramassage de venir en prise avec le réceptacle disposé dans la cuve pour le soulever et le vider.The receptacle preferably has a gripping portion located at the front, arranged to allow a hoist of a pick-up vehicle to engage the receptacle disposed in the tank to lift and empty it.

Ainsi, il est possible lors du ramassage de vider successivement le ou les réceptacles puis la cuve, le véhicule de ramassage pouvant par exemple comporter un premier dispositif de levage adapté aux réceptacles et un deuxième dispositif de levage adapté au bac.Thus, it is possible during collection to empty successively the receptacle or containers and the tank, the pickup vehicle may for example include a first lifting device adapted to the receptacles and a second lifting device adapted to the tray.

Avantageusement, le réceptacle comporte deux jupes sensiblement parallèles s'étendant au moins sur l'avant du réceptacle et se raccordant sur la face inférieure de la collerette de celui-ci. Ces jupes avec la collerette précitée définissent des moyens de préhension pour le dispositif de levage.Advantageously, the receptacle comprises two substantially parallel skirts extending at least on the front of the receptacle and connected to the lower face of the collar thereof. These skirts with the above collar define gripping means for the lifting device.

La jupe la plus extérieure peut présenter une hauteur inférieure à celle de la jupe la plus intérieure.The outermost skirt may have a lower height than the innermost skirt.

Avantageusement, ta jupe la plus extérieure comporte du côté du bord d'assemblage une portion ayant une forme sensiblement triangulaire faisant saillie vers le bas.Advantageously, the outermost skirt has on the side of the assembly edge a portion having a substantially triangular shape projecting downwards.

Ainsi, lorsque deux réceptacles sont assemblés, les portions correspondantes forment un relief sensiblement triangulaire permettant, lors du ramassage, un guidage de l'ensemble des deux réceptacles sur le dispositif de levage du véhicule de ramassage.Thus, when two receptacles are assembled, the corresponding portions form a substantially triangular relief allowing, during collection, a guide of all two receptacles on the lifting device of the collection vehicle.

Les jupes peuvent être reliées entre elles par une nervure à leurs extrémités adjacentes au bord d'assemblage.The skirts may be interconnected by a rib at their ends adjacent to the joining edge.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le réceptacle est réalisé en matière plastique.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the receptacle is made of plastic.

Le réceptacle peut être muni d'un transpondeur agencé pour permettre par exemple son identification par un véhicule de ramassage grâce à un échange de données.The receptacle may be provided with a transponder arranged to allow for example its identification by a collection vehicle through a data exchange.

Le transpondeur peut être mis en place sur le réceptacle par exemple en étant introduit dans un logement de ce réceptacle.The transponder can be placed on the receptacle for example by being introduced into a housing of this receptacle.

La mise en place du transpondeur sur le réceptacle peut être effectuée conformement aux procédés décrits dans le brevet EP 994 047 et la demande de brevet EP 905 057 de la déposante.The implementation of the transponder on the receptacle can be carried out in accordance with the methods described in the patent EP 994,047 and the patent application EP 905 057 of the applicant.

L'invention a encore pour objet un bac de collecte de déchets comprenant une cuve et réceptacle selon l'invention. L'invention a encore pour objet un ensemble tel que défini dans la revendication 13.The invention also relates to a waste collection tank comprising a tank and receptacle according to the invention. The invention further relates to an assembly as defined in claim 13.

Comme précisé plus haut, l'un des réceptacles peut présenter une première couleur et l'autre réceptacle une deuxième couleur différente de la première.As mentioned above, one of the receptacles may have a first color and the other receptacle a second color different from the first.

Les moyens d'assemblage peuvent permettre un assemblage amovible ou inamovible des deux réceptacles.The assembly means may allow a removable or irremovable assembly of the two receptacles.

Lorsque les réceptacles sont assemblés de manière amovible, il est possible de séparer ceux-ci pour notamment faciliter leur nettoyage.When the receptacles are removably assembled, it is possible to separate them to facilitate their cleaning.

Les réceptacles peuvent comporter chacun un bord d'assemblage sensiblement rectiligne adjacent à celui de l'autre réceptacle.The receptacles may each comprise a substantially rectilinear assembly edge adjacent to that of the other receptacle.

L'invention a encore pour objet un bac de collecte de déchèts comprenant une cuve et un ensemble selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a waste collection tank comprising a tank and an assembly according to the invention.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'exemples de mise en oeuvre non limitatifs, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente, schématiquement et partiellement, en perspective, deux réceptacles conformes à l'invention, avant assemblage,

  • la figure 6 est une vue schématique et partielle, en coupe suivant VI-VI, de l'ensemble la figure 5.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, non-limiting examples of implementation, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:
  • the figure 1 represents, schematically and partially, in perspective, two receptacles according to the invention, before assembly,
  • the figure 2 represents, schematically and partially, the two receptacles of the figure 1 , after assembly,
  • the figure 3 illustrates, schematically and partially, in section along III-III, a detail of the whole of the figure 2 ,
  • the figure 4 represents, schematically and partially, the whole of the figure 2 , set up in a tank,
  • the figure 5 represents, schematically and partially, the assembly of two receptacles according to an alternative embodiment of the invention, and
  • the figure 6 is a schematic and partial view, in section along VI-VI, of the whole figure 5 .

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un ensemble 1 de deux réceptacles 2 et 3 définissant chacun un espace de stockage pour des déchets.We have shown on the figure 1 an assembly 1 of two receptacles 2 and 3 each defining a storage space for waste.

Ces réceptacles 2 et 3 sont réalisés par moulage de matière thermoplastique.These receptacles 2 and 3 are made by molding thermoplastic material.

Chaque réceptacle 2, 3 comporte une collerette supérieure 4 sur la face inférieure de laquelle se raccordent deux jupes 5 et 6 sensiblement parallèles, la jupe la plus extérieure 5 présentant une hauteur inférieure à celle de la jupe la plus intérieure 6.Each receptacle 2, 3 comprises an upper flange 4 on the lower face of which are connected two substantially parallel skirts 5 and 6, the outermost skirt 5 having a height less than that of the innermost skirt 6.

Ces jupes 5 et 6 forment avec la collerette 4 des moyens de préhension pour un dispositif de levage.These skirts 5 and 6 form with the collar 4 gripping means for a lifting device.

Chaque réceptacle 2, 3 présente un bord d'assemblage 8 sensiblement rectiligne qui, après assemblage des réceptacles 2 et 3, comme illustré sur la figure 2, s'applique contre le bord 8 de l'autre réceptacle.Each receptacle 2, 3 has a substantially rectilinear assembly edge 8 which, after assembly of the receptacles 2 and 3, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , is applied against the edge 8 of the other receptacle.

Chaque réceptacle 2, 3 comporte en outre le long du bord 8 correspondant des moyens d'assemblage comprenant, dans l'exemple considéré, deux paliers 9 espacés.Each receptacle 2, 3 further comprises along the corresponding edge 8 assembly means comprising, in the example, two bearings 9 spaced apart.

Les paliers 9 d'un réceptacle 2, 3 sont disposés en quinconce par rapport aux paliers 9 de l'autre réceptacle de sorte que, lorsque ces réceptacles 2, 3 sont rapprochés, comme illustré sur la figure 2, les paliers 9 viennent en alignement mutuel, permettant d'introduire dans ceux-ci une tige de liaison 10 pour solidariser les réceptacles 2 et 3.The bearings 9 of a receptacle 2, 3 are staggered relative to the bearings 9 of the other receptacle so that, when these receptacles 2, 3 are brought together, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , the bearings 9 come in mutual alignment, allowing to introduce therein a connecting rod 10 to secure the receptacles 2 and 3.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3 notamment, la tige 10 réalisée en matière plastique, comporte une tête 11 pourvue de pattes élastiquement déformables 12 repliées vers l'arrière. La tige 10 comporte en outre à l'arrière une collerette 13.As can be seen on the figure 3 in particular, the rod 10 made of plastic material, comprises a head 11 provided with elastically deformable lugs 12 folded backwards. The rod 10 further comprises at the rear a flange 13.

Le palier 9 du réceptacle 3 situé à l'avant comporte un épaulement intérieur 14 sur lequel viennent prendre appui les pattes élastiquement déformables 12 lorsque la tige 10 est introduite dans les paliers 9, empêchant ainsi son retrait. La collerette 13 de la tige 10 vient alors prendre appui contre une tranche du palier 9 du réceptacle 3 situé à l'arrière.The bearing 9 of the receptacle 3 located at the front has an inner shoulder 14 on which come to bear the elastically deformable tabs 12 when the rod 10 is introduced into the bearings 9, thus preventing its removal. The flange 13 of the rod 10 then bears against a slice of the bearing 9 of the receptacle 3 located at the rear.

On remarque que l'assemblage des réceptacles 2 et 3 est particulièrement aisé, consistant essentiellement à rapprocher ces réceptacles 2 et 3 et à mettre en place sur les paliers 9 une tige de liaison 10.Note that the assembly of the receptacles 2 and 3 is particularly easy, consisting essentially of bringing these receptacles 2 and 3 closer together and to set up on the bearings 9 a connecting rod 10.

Des portions de paroi en forme d'équerre 17 sont prévues le long du bord d'assemblage 8 de chaque réceptacle 2, 3, ces portions 17 étant disposées de manière à venir se positionner sous un palier 9 de l'autre réceptacle.Square wall portions 17 are provided along the assembly edge 8 of each receptacle 2, 3, these portions 17 being arranged to be positioned under a bearing 9 of the other receptacle.

Les jupes 5 et 6 sont reliées par l'intermédiaire d'une nervure 18 du côté du bord d'assemblage 8.The skirts 5 and 6 are connected via a rib 18 on the side of the assembly edge 8.

La jupe la plus extérieure 5 présente une portion 19 faisant saillie vers le bas et de forme sensiblement triangulaire apte à former avec la portion 19 de l'autre réceptacle un relief également de forme triangulaire, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, ce relief servant à guider l'ensemble 1 par rapport à un dispositif de levage d'un véhicule de ramassage.The outermost skirt 5 has a portion 19 projecting downwards and substantially triangular shape adapted to form with the portion 19 of the other receptacle a relief also of triangular shape, as can be seen on the figure 2 this relief serving to guide the assembly 1 relative to a lifting device of a collection vehicle.

L'ensemble 1 peut être mis en place dans une cuve 21 d'un bac roulant de collecte de déchets 20, comme illustré sur la figure 4.The assembly 1 can be put in place in a tank 21 of a garbage collection bin 20, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .

Les collerettes 4 des réceptacles 2 et 3 reposent sur le rebord supérieur de la cuve 21.The collars 4 of the receptacles 2 and 3 rest on the upper rim of the tank 21.

Le bac 20 comporte un couvercle pivotant 25 et la cuve 21 une cloison 22 définissant dans la cuve deux compartiments séparés 23 et 24, les réceptacles 2 et 3 se logeant respectivement dans les compartiments 23 et 24.The tray 20 comprises a pivoting lid 25 and the tank 21 a partition 22 defining in the tank two separate compartments 23 and 24, the receptacles 2 and 3 respectively being housed in the compartments 23 and 24.

Ainsi, comme on peut le constater, l'espace intérieur de la cuve 21 est compartimenté en quatre espaces de stockage séparés définis respectivement par les deux compartiments 23 et 24 et par les deux réceptacles 2 et 3.Thus, as can be seen, the interior space of the tank 21 is compartmentalized into four separate storage spaces respectively defined by the two compartments 23 and 24 and the two receptacles 2 and 3.

Pour le cas où uniquement trois espaces de stockage sont nécessaires pour le tri sélectif des déchets, il est possible de mettre en place dans la cuve 21 un seul réceptacle 2 ou 3.For the case where only three storage spaces are necessary for the selective sorting of waste, it is possible to set up in the tank 21 a single receptacle 2 or 3.

Les réceptacles 2 et 3 sont avantageusement réalisés dans des couleurs différentes afin de former un code couleur, chaque couleur correspondant à un type de déchets particulier.The receptacles 2 and 3 are advantageously made in different colors in order to form a color code, each color corresponding to a particular type of waste.

Le réceptacle 2, 3 peut comporter entre les jupes 5 et 6 un logement dans lequel est fixé un transpondeur 16 agencé pour permettre l'identification du réceptacle par un véhicule de ramassage.The receptacle 2, 3 may comprise between the skirts 5 and 6 a housing in which is fixed a transponder 16 arranged to allow the identification of the receptacle by a pickup vehicle.

Dans l'exemple considéré, l'assemblage des deux réceptacles 2 et 3 est inamovible.In the example considered, the assembly of the two receptacles 2 and 3 is irremovable.

On ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention en réalisant les moyens d'assemblage des deux réceptacles 2 et 3 d'une autre manière.It is not beyond the scope of the present invention by realizing the assembly means of the two receptacles 2 and 3 in another way.

Ces moyens d'assemblage peuvent être agencés pour permettre un assemblage des réceptacles 2 et 3 par encliquetage, par emboîtement ou par l'intermédiaire d'un système à glissière, par exemple.These assembly means may be arranged to allow an assembly of the receptacles 2 and 3 by snapping, interlocking or via a sliding system, for example.

On a représenté sur les figures 5 et 6 des moyens d'assemblage permettant un assemblage des réceptacles 2 et 3 par l'intermédiaire de vis.We have shown on Figures 5 and 6 assembly means for assembling the receptacles 2 and 3 by means of screws.

Dans l'exemple considéré, le réceptacle 2 comporte des moyens d'assemblage comprenant une paroi supérieure 30 de section transversale en U dont la concavité est dirigée vers le bas, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6.In the example considered, the receptacle 2 comprises assembly means comprising an upper wall 30 of U cross-section whose concavity is directed downwards, as can be seen on FIG. figure 6 .

Cette paroi 30 supporte une pluralité de portions taraudées 31 disposées dans la concavité de la paroi 30.This wall 30 supports a plurality of threaded portions 31 disposed in the concavity of the wall 30.

Le réceptacle 3 comporte une paroi 32 de section transversale également en U avec une concavité dirigée vers le bas et apte à venir recouvrir la paroi 30 du réceptacle 2.The receptacle 3 comprises a wall 32 of cross section also in U with a concavity directed downwards and adapted to come to cover the wall 30 of the receptacle 2.

La paroi 32 présente un bord longitudinal 33 apte à venir s'appliquer sur un épaulement 34 du réceptacle 2.The wall 32 has a longitudinal edge 33 adapted to be applied on a shoulder 34 of the receptacle 2.

La paroi 32 comporte une pluralité d'orifices 35 pouvant être positionnés au droit des portions taraudées 31 du réceptacle 2 afin de permettre le passage de vis 36 dans les portions taraudées 31.The wall 32 has a plurality of orifices 35 which can be positioned in line with the threaded portions 31 of the receptacle 2 in order to allow the passage of screws 36 in the threaded portions 31.

Comme on peut le constater, ces moyens d'assemblage permettent un assemblage amovible des réceptacles 2 et 3.As can be seen, these assembly means allow a removable assembly of the receptacles 2 and 3.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de mise en oeuvre qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the implementation examples which have just been described.
