Abstract

The dustbin has a separation wall (3) to separate two compartments (4, 5). The wall has a surface (6) whose slope line (7) defines a fixed inclination angle with a slope line (8) of an outer wall, where the angle is sufficient for emptying a compartment (4) when the dustbin is tilted until a fixed tilting angle. Ribs are disposed on the surface for limiting friction of wastes during the emptying of the compartment.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une poubelle à plusieurs compartiments pour le tri sélectif de déchets. Une telle poubelle est décrite dans le document US 4 978 018.The present invention relates to a trash bin with multiple compartments for the selective sorting of waste. Such a bin is described in US 4,978,018.

Plus précisément, elle se rapporte à une poubelle dont les différents compartiments sont susceptibles d'être vidés manuellement par basculement dans différents bacs d'un container, chacun des bacs étant destiné à une catégorie de déchets.More specifically, it relates to a bin whose different compartments are likely to be emptied manually by tilting in different containers of a container, each bin being intended for a category of waste.

L'invention vise plus particulièrement une poubelle dont chacun des compartiments peut-être vidé rapidement et indépendamment des autres.The invention relates more particularly to a trash can each compartment can be emptied quickly and independently of others.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une poubelle comportant une paroi externe définissant une ouverture pour le remplissage et le vidage de la poubelle, et au moins une cloison de séparation de deux compartiments, la cloison comportant une surface dont une ligne de plus grande pente dirigée, vers l'ouverture, définit au moins un angle d'inclinaison prédéterminé avec une ligne de plus grande pente de la paroi externe, cet angle étant suffisant pour permettre le vidage d'uniquement un premier compartiment lorsque l'on fait basculer ladite poubelle, autour d'un axe orthogonal à la ligne de plus grande pente de la paroi externe jusqu'à un premier angle de basculement prédéterminé.To this end, the invention relates to a bin having an outer wall defining an opening for filling and emptying the bin, and at least one partition wall of two compartments, the partition having a surface including a line of greater slope directed towards the opening, defines at least one predetermined inclination angle with a line of greater slope of the outer wall, this angle being sufficient to allow the emptying of only a first compartment when the said trash is tilted around an axis orthogonal to the line of greatest slope of the outer wall to a first predetermined tilt angle.

Cette poubelle comporte en outre des moyens adaptés à limiter le frottement des déchets lors du vidage d'au moins un des compartiments.This bin also comprises means adapted to limit the friction of the waste during the emptying of at least one of the compartments.

Ainsi, pendant le vidage du premier compartiment, la cloison de séparation retient les déchets contenus dans le deuxième compartiment, tant que l'on bascule la poubelle jusqu'à ce que la cloison soit horizontale.Thus, during the emptying of the first compartment, the partition separates the waste contained in the second compartment, as long as the bin is tilted until the partition is horizontal.

Il suffit ensuite de continuer le basculement au-dessus d'un second bac pour vider les déchets contenus dans le deuxième compartiment de la poubelle.Then simply continue tilting over a second bin to empty the waste in the second compartment of the trash.

Cette caractéristique permet de faciliter grandement le vidage des poubelles pour tri sélectif, par basculement progressif de la poubelle.This feature greatly facilitates the emptying of bins for selective sorting, by gradual tilting of the trash.

En outre, le vidage d'un compartiment donné est grandement facilité du fait que les déchets n'accrochent pas dans la poubelle, leur frottement étant diminué.In addition, the emptying of a given compartment is greatly facilitated by the fact that the waste does not catch in the trash, their friction being reduced.

Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, les moyens pour limiter le frottement des déchets sont situés par des nervures disposées sur la zone de contact entre les déchets et l'intérieur de la poubelle lors du vidage de celle-ci.In a preferred embodiment, the means for limiting the friction of the waste are located by ribs disposed on the contact zone between the waste and the inside of the trash when emptying thereof.

L'homme du métier comprendra aisément que cette zone de contact est définie, soit par la paroi interne de la poubelle, soit par la cloison de séparation.Those skilled in the art will readily understand that this contact zone is defined either by the inner wall of the bin or by the partition wall.

Ainsi, dans ce mode préféré de réalisation, la surface de contact entre les déchets et l'intérieur de la poubelle, du fait de ces nervures est limitée et le glissement amélioré.Thus, in this preferred embodiment, the contact surface between the waste and the inside of the bin, because of these ribs is limited and the slip improved.

Ce mode préféré de réalisation est particulièrement adapté lorsque les déchets sont constitués par des éléments plats tels que des papiers car, dans ce cas, les papiers glissent sur les nervures lors du vidage de la poubelle.This preferred embodiment is particularly suitable when the waste is constituted by flat elements such as paper because, in this case, the papers slide on the ribs during the emptying of the trash.

Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, la cloison de séparation comporte une partie courbe adaptée à créer un espace d'air sous des déchets plats et notamment sous des feuilles de papier lors du vidage de ces déchets.In a preferred embodiment, the partition wall has a curved portion adapted to create an air space under flat waste and in particular under sheets of paper during the emptying of this waste.

Cet espace d'air permet encore de limiter la zone de contact avec ces déchets du fait de la rigidité relative de la feuille de papier.This air space further limits the contact area with this waste because of the relative stiffness of the paper sheet.

Dans une variante préférée de réalisation, la poubelle comporte plusieurs cloisons, non parallèles entre elles, et toutes rattachées au fond ou à une même face de la paroi externe, ces cloisons comportant chacune une surface sensiblement plane définissant un angle d'inclinaison suffisant avec une ligne de plus grande pente de la paroi externe, lesdits angles d'inclinaison allant croissant lorsque l'on s'éloigne de cette ligne de plus grande pente.In a preferred embodiment, the bin has several partitions, not parallel to each other, and all attached to the bottom or to the same face of the outer wall, these partitions each having a substantially flat surface defining a sufficient angle of inclination with a line of greater slope of the outer wall, said inclination angles increasing as one moves away from this line of greater slope.

Cette poubelle permet ainsi de trier au moins trois catégories de déchets, et de vider chacun des compartiments définis par les différentes cloisons, progressivement, par basculement de la poubelle, comme explicité précédemment.This trash can thus sort at least three categories of waste, and empty each of the compartments defined by the various partitions, gradually, by tipping the bin, as explained above.

Dans une variante préférée de réalisation, au moins une cloison est amovible.In a preferred embodiment, at least one partition is removable.

Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement de supprimer des compartiments ou d'agrandir des compartiments par suppression d'une cloison.This feature advantageously allows to remove compartments or enlarge compartments by removing a partition.

L'homme du métier comprendra aisément que, si l'on retire toutes les cloisons, la poubelle ne peut plus être utilisée pour le tri sélectif.Those skilled in the art will readily understand that, if all the partitions are removed, the trash can no longer be used for sorting.

Préférentiellement, l'angle d'inclinaison, défini entre la surface de la cloison et une ligne de plus grande pente de la paroi de la poubelle, est supérieur à 30 degrés (noté "30°" ci-après).Preferably, the angle of inclination, defined between the surface of the partition and a line of greater slope of the wall of the bin, is greater than 30 degrees (denoted "30 °" below).

Cet angle de 30 degrés permet de réaliser un vidage particulièrement aisé de la poubelle par basculement à la main et, en même temps, de définir deux compartiments de volume respectivement de l'ordre du tiers et des deux tiers du volume total de la poubelle, de tels volumes étant typiquement appropriés au stockage de déchets papier dans les corbeilles de bureau.This angle of 30 degrees makes it possible to perform a particularly easy emptying of the bin by tilting by hand and, at the same time, to define two compartments of volume respectively of the order of one third and two thirds of the total volume of the bin, such volumes are typically suitable for storing paper waste in office bins.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la poubelle comporte des réceptacles amovibles adaptés aux compartiments.According to one embodiment, the bin has removable receptacles adapted to the compartments.

Préférentiellement, ces réceptacles amovibles épousent la forme des compartiments précités. Ils peuvent être utilisés pour recueillir des déchets et faciliter le vidage de la poubelle par le retrait de ses compartiments.Preferably, these removable receptacles follow the shape of the aforementioned compartments. They can be used to collect waste and facilitate emptying the bin by removing its compartments.

Ainsi, dans un mode de réalisation, un premier compartiment sera vidé par retrait d'un réceptacle, les autres compartiments de la poubelle étant vidés par basculement de celle-ci, comme décrit précédemment.Thus, in one embodiment, a first compartment will be emptied by removal of a receptacle, the other compartments of the bin being emptied by tilting thereof, as described above.

Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, la poubelle comporte des moyens d'inclinaison de la cloison permettant de faire varier l'angle d'inclinaison précité.In a preferred embodiment, the trash can includes tilting means of the partition for varying the aforementioned inclination angle.

Ainsi, on pourra faire varier l'angle d'inclinaison de la cloison, en fonction des différents déchets que l'on souhaite recueillir dans les compartiments de la poubelle.Thus, we can vary the angle of inclination of the partition, depending on the different waste that is desired to collect in the compartments of the trash.

L'homme du métier comprendra que pour des déchets liquides, ou peu visqueux, on règlera la cloison de manière à définir un angle faible entre la cloison et la paroi.Those skilled in the art will understand that for liquid waste, or low viscosity, the partition will be adjusted so as to define a small angle between the wall and the wall.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la cloison est rattachée à une face sensiblement verticale de la poubelle, cette poubelle comportant des moyens de réglage de la hauteur de la cloison par rapport à la base de la poubelle.In an advantageous embodiment, the partition is attached to a substantially vertical face of the bin, this bin having means for adjusting the height of the partition relative to the base of the bin.

Cette caractéristique permet, elle aussi, de faire varier le volume des différents compartiments de la poubelle.This feature also allows to vary the volume of different compartments of the trash.

D'autres aspects et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description du mode particulier de réalisation qui va suivre, cette description étant donnée uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 A représente une poubelle conforme à la présente invention dans un mode préféré de réalisation ;
  • la figure 1B représente un détail de la poubelle de la figure 1A ;

  • la figure 6 représente une poubelle avec plusieurs cloisons, conforme à la présente invention ; et
  • la figure 7 représente la poubelle de la figure 6 avec des réceptacles amovibles conformément à l'invention.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description of the particular embodiment which will follow, this description being given solely by way of nonlimiting examples and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1A shows a bin according to the present invention in a preferred embodiment;
  • Figure 1B shows a detail of the bin of Figure 1A;
  • Figures 2A to 2D show four schemas of operating principle of the trash according to the invention, in preferred embodiments;
  • Figures 3A and 3B show, in section, two first variants of bins according to the invention in preferred embodiments;
  • Figures 4 and 5 show the trash of Figure 3A when emptying these compartments;
  • Figure 6 shows a bin with several partitions, according to the present invention; and
  • Figure 7 shows the bin of Figure 6 with removable receptacles according to the invention.

La figure 1A représente une poubelle P conforme à la présente invention. Figure 1A shows a trash P according to the present invention.

Cette poubelle P comporte une paroi externe 1 et un couvercle 16 monté pivotant autour d'un axe de rotation Z tangent à cette paroi externe.This trash P has an outer wall 1 and a lid 16 pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation Z tangent to this outer wall.

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation décrit ici, la face externe 1 comporte une ouverture 18 située en dessous d'une poignée 17 faisant levier.In the preferred embodiment described here, the outer face 1 has an opening 18 located below a lever handle 17.

Cet agencement particulier permet ainsi d'ouvrir aisément la poubelle avec une seule main en insérant quatre doigts dans l'ouverture 18 et en appuyant sur le levier 17 avec le pouce pour faire basculer le couvercle 16 autour de l'axe Z.This particular arrangement thus makes it easy to open the bin with one hand by inserting four fingers into the opening 18 and pressing the lever 17 with the thumb to tilt the lid 16 about the Z axis.

L'ouverture 18 est positionnée sur la face arrière 12 de la poubelle P.The opening 18 is positioned on the rear face 12 of the trash P.

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation de la figure 1 A, la paroi externe 1 définit une face avant 11, une face arrière 12 et deux faces latérales 13 et 14.In the preferred embodiment of FIG. 1A, the outer wall 1 defines a front face 11, a rear face 12 and two lateral faces 13 and 14.

Chacune de ces quatre faces est rattachée à une base 10.Each of these four faces is attached to a base 10.

En dessous de l'ouverture 18, se trouve un renfoncement 20, dans lequel peut être inséré un pied pour déplacer la poubelle et plus précisément pour la tirer vers soi lorsqu'elle est placée sous un bureau.Below the opening 18, there is a recess 20, into which can be inserted a foot to move the trash and more specifically to pull it towards you when it is placed under a desk.

Pour faciliter ce geste, un rebord 21 est situé en vis-à-vis de ce renfoncement 20.To facilitate this action, a flange 21 is located vis-à-vis this recess 20.

La poubelle P comporte une cloison 3 séparant deux compartiments 4 et 5, respectivement destinés au stockage d'objets de forme quelconque q et de feuille de papier p1.The trash P has a partition 3 separating two compartments 4 and 5, respectively for storing objects of any shape q and paper sheet p1.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré représenté sur la figure 1A, le couvercle de la poubelle comporte des orifices appropriés à ces différents objets.In the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1A, the lid of the bin has orifices suitable for these different objects.

La figure 1B représente plus en détail la cloison 3. Figure 1B shows in more detail the partition 3.

Conformément à l'invention, cette cloison comporte des moyens adaptés à limiter le frottement des objets lors du vidage de la poubelle.According to the invention, this partition comprises means adapted to limit the friction of the objects during the emptying of the trash.

On voit en effet que, les feuilles de papier p1 reposent sur les nervures S de la cloison 3, un espace d'air E permettant de faciliter le glissement de ces feuilles de papier p1 lors du vidage de la poubelle P.It can be seen that the sheets of paper p1 rest on the ribs S of the partition 3, an air space E to facilitate the sliding of these sheets of paper p1 during the emptying of the trash P.

Les figures 2A à 2D représentent quatre variantes de réalisation d'une poubelle P conforme à la présente invention. Figures 2A to 2D show four alternative embodiments of a trash P according to the present invention.

Sur chacune de ces figures, est représentée la paroi externe 1 de la poubelle définissant une ouverture 2 pour le remplissage et le vidage de la poubelle P.In each of these figures, there is shown the outer wall 1 of the bin defining an opening 2 for filling and emptying the trash P.

Sur ces figures, le couvercle 16 n'est pas représenté.In these figures, the cover 16 is not shown.

Conformément à la présente invention, chacune de ces poubelles comporte une cloison 3 rattachée à la paroi externe 1.According to the present invention, each of these bins comprises a partition 3 attached to the outer wall 1.

Ce rattachement peut être situé sur une paroi latérale (figure 2A) ou sur la base 10 de la poubelle P (figures 2B et 2D).This attachment can be located on a side wall (Figure 2A) or on the base 10 of the trash P (Figures 2B and 2D).

Cette cloison 3 définit ainsi deux compartiments de la poubelle P respectivement référencés 4 et 5 pour le tri sélectif de deux catégories de déchets.This partition 3 thus defines two compartments of the trash P respectively referenced 4 and 5 for the selective sorting of two categories of waste.

Conformément à la présente invention, la cloison 3 comporte une surface 6 dont une ligne de plus grande pente 7 dirigée vers l'ouverture 2 de la poubelle P, définit au moins un angle d'inclinaison prédéterminé a avec une ligne de plus grande pente 8 de la paroi externe 1, cet angle a étant suffisant pour permettre le vidage d'un seul des compartiments 4 et 5 lorsque l'on fait basculer la poubelle.According to the present invention, the partition 3 has a surface 6, a line of greater slope 7 directed towards the opening 2 of the trash P, defines at least one angle predetermined inclination a with a line of greater slope 8 of the outer wall 1, this angle is sufficient to allow the emptying of only one of the compartments 4 and 5 when the bin is tilted.

En effet, on comprend aisément que si l'on fait basculer, la poubelle P de la figure 2A autour de l'axe V suivant la direction représentée par la flèche b, les déchets situés dans le compartiment 4 seront, sous leur inertie, vidés de la poubelle P dès que la face latérale 12 dépassera la position horizontale.Indeed, it is easy to understand that if the trash P of FIG. 2A is tilted about the axis V in the direction represented by the arrow b, the waste located in the compartment 4 will, under their inertia, be emptied of the trash P as soon as the side face 12 will exceed the horizontal position.

Dans une telle position, les déchets situés dans le compartiment 5 seront retenus par la cloison 3.In such a position, the waste located in the compartment 5 will be retained by the partition 3.

Préférentiellement, l'angle d'inclinaison a défini entre la ligne de plus grande pente de la cloison 3 et la ligne de plus grande pente de la paroi externe 1 est supérieur à 30°.Preferably, the angle of inclination defined between the line of greatest slope of the partition 3 and the line of greatest slope of the outer wall 1 is greater than 30 °.

On notera que ce qui importe pour réaliser cet effet particulièrement avantageux est l'angle a défini par la cloison 3 avec une ligne de plus grande pente 8 de la paroi externe de la poubelle P.It will be noted that what matters for achieving this particularly advantageous effect is the angle α defined by the partition 3 with a line of greater slope 8 of the outer wall of the trash P.

En effet, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 2B, cet effet est obtenu, bien que la cloison 3 soit verticale dans l'utilisation normale de la poubelle.Indeed, in the embodiment of Figure 2B, this effect is obtained, although the partition 3 is vertical in the normal use of the trash.

En effet, lorsque l'on bascule la poubelle P de la figure 2B autour de l'axe de rotation V suivant la flèche b, les déchets du compartiment 4 se vident dès que la paroi externe 1 dépasse la position horizontale, les déchets situés dans le compartiment 5 étant là encore retenus par la cloison 3.In fact, when the trash P of FIG. 2B is tilted about the axis of rotation V along the arrow b, the waste of the compartment 4 is emptied as soon as the outer wall 1 exceeds the horizontal position, the waste situated in the compartment 5 being again retained by the partition 3.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3C, l'invention trouve également des applications lorsque la section de la poubelle P est de forme quelconque, par exemple oblongue. Cette poubelle P, dont la base n'est pas horizontale, peut notamment être suspendue ou montée sur un support pour fixation.As can be seen in Figure 3C , the invention also finds applications when the section of the trash P is of any shape, for example oblong. This trash P, whose base is not horizontal, can in particular be suspended or mounted on a support for fixing.

En référence maintenant à la figure 3D, l'homme du métier comprendra que l'invention trouve aussi une application dès lors qu'une partie au moins de la paroi externe 1 de la poubelle P comporte une ligne de plus grande pente 8' définissant un angle a' suffisant avec une ligne de plus grande pente 7 de la cloison 3 dirigée vers l'ouverture 2.Referring now to FIG. 3D , those skilled in the art will understand that the invention also finds application when at least a portion of the outer wall 1 of the trash P has a line of greater slope 8 'defining a angle a 'sufficient with a line of greater slope 7 of the partition 3 directed towards the opening 2.

En effet, si l'on bascule la poubelle autour de l'axe V suivant la flèche b', les déchets du compartiment 5 se vident alors que ceux du compartiment 4 sont retenus par la cloison 3.Indeed, if we swing the trash around the axis V along the arrow b ', the waste compartment 5 empty while those of compartment 4 are retained by the partition 3.

En revanche, il apparaît sur cette figure 2D que la cloison 7 étant parallèle à la face latérale 11 de la poubelle P, si l'on fait pivoter cette poubelle P autour de l'axe V suivant la flèche b", les éléments des compartiments 4 et 5 se vident simultanément.On the other hand, it appears in this 2D figure that the partition 7 being parallel to the lateral face 11 of the trash P, if this trash P is rotated about the axis V along the arrow b ", the elements of the compartments 4 and 5 are empty simultaneously.

Conformément à l'invention, les poubelles P décrites précédemment comportent des moyens pour limiter le frottement des déchets avec la zone de contact de ces déchets lors du vidage d'au moins un compartiment, mais ceux-ci ne sont pas représentés sur les figures 2A à 2D par souci de clarté.In accordance with the invention, the bins P described above comprise means for limiting the friction of the waste with the contact zone of this waste during the emptying of at least one compartment, but these are not shown in FIGS. 2A. to 2D for the sake of clarity.

Ces moyens pour limiter le frottement peuvent être constitués par des nervures S disposés sur la surface de la cloison 3 située à l'intérieur du compartiment destiné à être vidé en deuxième.These means for limiting the friction may consist of ribs S disposed on the surface of the partition 3 located inside the compartment to be emptied second.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3B, ces moyens pour limiter les frottements sont constitués par des nervures S disposées sur la face interne de la paroi 11 à l'intérieur du premier compartiment 4.In the embodiment of FIG. 3B , these means for limiting the friction consist of ribs S disposed on the internal face of the wall 11 inside the first compartment 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3A, ces nervures sont disposées à la fois sur la face interne de la paroi 12 dans le compartiment 4 et sur la surface de la cloison 3 dans le deuxième compartiment 5.In the embodiment of FIG. 3A , these ribs are arranged both on the internal face of the wall 12 in the compartment 4 and on the surface of the partition 3 in the second compartment 5.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3A, la cloison comporte une partie courbe.In the embodiment of Figure 3A, the partition has a curved portion.

Cette partie courbe permet là encore de limiter le frottement avec des déchets plats relativement rigides (comme des feuilles de papier P1), lors du vidage de la poubelle P, un espace d'air E se créant entre ces déchets plats et la cloison 3.This curved portion again makes it possible to limit the friction with relatively flat flat waste (such as sheets of paper P1), during the emptying of the trash P, an air space E being created between this flat waste and the partition 3.

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation de la figure 3A, la poubelle P comporte une partie interne courbe 90 en vis-à-vis de la partie courbe de la cloison 3.In the preferred embodiment of Figure 3A, the trash P has a curved inner portion 90 vis-à-vis the curved portion of the partition 3.

Cette partie courbe 90 permet avantageusement de stocker les éléments plats, telles que des feuilles de papier p1 dans la poubelle, de sorte qu'elles se positionnent naturellement sur la cloison 3 lors du basculement de la poubelle pour son vidage.This curved portion 90 advantageously makes it possible to store the flat elements, such as sheets of paper p1 in the bin, so that they are positioned naturally on the partition 3 during the tipping of the trash for emptying.

L'homme du métier comprendra aisément que le compartiment 5 représenté à la figure 3A, limité par la partie courbe 90 de la paroi interne, est particulièrement adapté à une poubelle de bureau destinée à recevoir des feuilles de papier dans ce compartiment.Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the compartment 5 shown in FIG. 3A, bounded by the curved portion 90 of the wall internal, is particularly suitable for a desktop bin to receive sheets of paper in this compartment.

Par exemple, la largeur de la poubelle définie par la distance séparant les faces latérales 13 et 14 pourra être de la taille d'une feuille de papier standard de type « A4 », « A3 », « US Letter ».For example, the width of the bin defined by the distance between the side faces 13 and 14 may be the size of a standard paper sheet type "A4", "A3", "US Letter".

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation représenté aux figures 3A et 3B, la cloison 3 est amovible.In the preferred embodiment shown in Figures 3A and 3B , the partition 3 is removable.

A cet effet, la cloison 3 comporte sur ses côtés destinés à venir en appui sur la partie interne des faces latérales 13 et 14 de la poubelle P, une série de trous 24 adaptés à recevoir des vis 25 permettant de positionner la cloison 3 dans la poubelle P ou de l'enlever.For this purpose, the partition 3 has on its sides intended to bear on the inner part of the side faces 13 and 14 of the trash P, a series of holes 24 adapted to receive screws 25 for positioning the partition 3 in the P bin or remove it.

A cet effet, la poubelle P comporte deux orifices 26 et 27 permettant de fixer la cloison 3 au moyen des vis 25 précitées.For this purpose, the trash P has two orifices 26 and 27 for fixing the partition 3 by means of the aforementioned screws 25.

Préférentiellement, et comme représentée à la figure 3B, la poubelle P comporte plus précisément un premier orifice 26 de forme allongée et parallèle à la face arrière 12 de la poubelle P permettant de régler la hauteur h de la cloison 3 par rapport à la base 10 de la poubelle P.Preferably, and as represented in FIG. 3B, the trash P more precisely comprises a first orifice 26 of elongated shape and parallel to the rear face 12 of the trash P making it possible to adjust the height h of the partition 3 relative to the base 10 from the trash P.

Préférentiellement, le deuxième orifice 27 de la poubelle P est de forme allongée et oblique par rapport au bord supérieur de la poubelle P.Preferably, the second orifice 27 of the trash P is of elongated shape and oblique with respect to the upper edge of the trash P.

Ainsi, en faisant varier la position de la vis 25 sur la cloison 3 dans le deuxième orifice 27, tout en maintenant inchangée la position de la vis 25 dans le premier orifice 26, on peut faire varier l'inclinaison de la cloison 3.Thus, by varying the position of the screw 25 on the partition 3 in the second orifice 27, while maintaining unchanged the position of the screw 25 in the first orifice 26, the inclination of the partition 3 can be varied.

Ces deux orifices 26, 27 permettent ainsi, de façon évidente, de faire varier à la fois la hauteur h et l'inclinaison a de la cloison 3 dans la poubelle P.These two orifices 26, 27 thus make it possible, obviously, to vary both the height h and the inclination a of the partition 3 in the trash P.

Conformément à une variante de réalisation représentée à la figure 6, la poubelle P comporte plusieurs cloisons 3', 3" toutes de surfaces 6', 6" sensiblement planes et rattachées au fond 15 ou à une même face 12 de la paroi externe 1 de la poubelle P.According to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 6 , the trash P comprises several partitions 3 ', 3 "all of surfaces 6', 6" which are substantially flat and attached to the bottom 15 or to the same face 12 of the outer wall 1 of the trash P.

Conformément à l'invention, chacune de ces cloisons 3', 3" définit un angle d'inclinaison a', a" suffisant, avec une ligne de plus grande pente 8 de la paroi externe de la poubelle, l'angle d'inclinaison a', a" allant croissant lorsque l'on s'éloigne de la ligne de plus grande pente 8 précitée.According to the invention, each of these partitions 3 ', 3 "defines an angle of inclination a', a" sufficient, with a line of greater slope 8 of the outer wall of the trash, the angle of inclination a ', a "increasing when one moves away from the line of greater slope 8 above.

Ce mode de réalisation permet avantageusement de vider les différents compartiments 4, 4", 4"' ainsi définis et représentés figure 3 par basculement progressif de la poubelle autour d'un axe V orthogonal et de plus grande pente 8 suivant la flèche b.This embodiment advantageously makes it possible to empty the different compartments 4, 4 ", 4" 'thus defined and represented in FIG. 3 by progressive tilting of the bin around an orthogonal V axis and of greater slope 8 along the arrow b.

Dans un mode préféré de réalisation représenté à la figure 7, la poubelle P selon l'invention comporte en outre des réceptacles amovibles 19, 19' adaptés aux compartiments 4' et 4".In a preferred embodiment shown in Figure 7 , the trash P according to the invention further comprises removable receptacles 19, 19 'adapted to the compartments 4' and 4 ".
