Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a simplified-construction container for collecting and holding loose products in general.
  • said prior collecting containers or vessels generally comprising an elongated prismatic container body including rolling wheels and a pivoting closure cover.
  • the above mentioned prior containers which are mainly used for collecting refuse and waste materials, and for differentiatedly collecting loose articles or waste in general, are so designed as to provide a composite container which does not allow to easily separate the component elements thereof, and, accordingly, requiring very complex assembling operations to be assembled.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a simplified-construction container including component elements which can be easily and quickly assembled without the need of using specifically designed assembling tools or apparatus.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a container in which a possibly damaged part thereof can be easily and quickly replaced, in a comparatively short time and without using specifically designed repairing tools.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a simplified-construction container which, owing to its specifically designed constructional features, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified-construction container, for collecting loose articles in general, which can be easily made starting from easily available elements and materials and which, moreover, is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
  • a simplified-construction container for collecting loose products in general comprising a container body provided with rolling wheels and a closure cover, characterized in that said container comprises moreover, on said container body, recessed seats for housing supporting elements for supporting said rolling wheels, plug-in means for holding said supporting elements in said recessed seats being furthermore provided.
  • the simplified-construction container for collecting loose products in general which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a container body 2 which is preferably provided with an elongated prismatic configuration and being coupled to a closure cover 3, which is pivoted or hinge applied to the container body.
  • the container is provided with rolling wheels, generally indicated by 4.
  • the main feature of the invention is that the container is so designed that its component elements can be easily and quickly assembled without using specifically designed assembling tools.
  • the container body 2 is provided with recessed seats, indicated by the reference number 10, in which can be engaged and fixedly retained supporting elements 11 for rotatably supporting a respective wheel 4.
  • the supporting element 11 comprises a casing 12 extending from a bottom plate 13 which, on a front portion thereof, comprises an expandible hub element 14 for snap coupling with the wheel 4, the construction of which will be disclosed in a more detailed manner hereinafter.
  • plug-in elements 15 are provided, of T shape, which are engaged in corresponding guides 16 designed for providing plug-in element for retaining or fixedly holding the supporting element in its related seat or recess 10.
  • each supporting element On each supporting element, counter-tooth elements 17, arranged at edge regions, are moreover provided, to provide a firm or fixed coupling.
  • the wheel 4 comprises two half-hub elements 20 which are axially coupled to one another and connected to a box-like wheel body 21, which is closed by a central portion 22 at an axial end thereof and which, at its other axial end, is covered by a coating body 23 defining the wheel periphery and accordingly the sliding portion and being coupled to the central part 22.
  • the supporting elements and related wheels can be easily and quickly coupled by a mechanical plug-in type of operation to the container body without the need of using specifically designed coupling tools, and, accordingly they can also be easily and quickly replaced, as needed.
  • the cover 3, as stated, is pivoted or hinge coupled to the container body 2.
  • the container body comprises thereon bush-elements 30, which are axially spaced from one another, and therebetween can be engaged eyelet elements 31 as formed on the cover 3.
  • the pivoting assembly is made by using peg element 32 having expandible jaws, which are snap engaged on the mentioned eyelet elements and being provided with a gripping end-piece 33, which is arranged on the extension of the bush elements 30, thereby also providing a good aesthetical aspect.
  • the invention provides a simplified-construction container, for collecting loose products or articles in general, which can be made by a simple and quick coupling of component elements which can be molded from a plastics material.
  • the used materials provided that they are compatible to the intended application, as well as the contingent size and shapes, can be any, depending on requirements.
