Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket.
  • bins with pedal-lifted lid and with an internal bucket comprise a removable bucket, which is accommodated in a containment enclosure provided with a lid that is connected to the enclosure by way of hinge means.
  • Articulation means for a pedal-operated lever available to the action of a user and suitable to actuate lid opening means are provided on the bottom of the enclosure.
  • the presence of the bucket inside the containment enclosure and of the lid that closes the enclosure over the bucket in fact prevent the series stacking of a plurality of bins.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket that can be stored with great advantage in terms of occupied volume with respect to known types.
  • an obj ect of the present invention is to provide a bin that can be packaged, with a plurality of additional identical bins, in a more compact manner than known types.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a bin that allows to store, in a known package, approximately twice as many bins compared to conventional bins.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket whose performance is not lower, in terms of capacity and convenience in use for a user, than that of known bins.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a bin that allows far cheaper management of the storage and transport of a plurality of identical additional bins than conventional types.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket whose components can all be obtained easily and cheaply by molding plastic material.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket that can be manufactured with known systems and technologies.
  • a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket of the type that comprises, accommodated in a containment enclosure provided with a lid that is connected thereto by way of hinge means, a removable bucket, articulation means for a pedal-operated lever being provided on the bottom of the enclosure, such lever being available to the action of a user and being adapted to actuate means for opening said lid, said bin being characterized in that said bucket has an internal surface that is contoured so as to contain at least one lower portion of an additional identical bin, at least two locators protruding from said internal surface in order to support the bottom of said additional identical bin, said bin having, in a stacked configuration, said lid open at an angle that allows the stacking from above of said additional bin.
  • a bin with pedal-lifted lid and internal bucket is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the bin 10 comprises, accommodated inside a containment enclosure 12, a removable trash collection bucket 15.
  • the enclosure 12 is provided with a lid 13, which is connected thereto by way of hinge means 14, in order to close a mouth 24 of the bucket 15.
  • the pedal-operated lever 18, available to the action of a user, is suitable to actuate means 19 for opening the lid 13.
  • the bin 10 is characterized in that the bucket 15 has an internal surface 20 that is shaped so as to contain a lower portion 21a of an identical bin 10a.
  • locators 22 protrude from the internal surface 20 in order to support the bottom 16a of the additional identical bin 10a.
  • Each locator 22 is constituted by a vertically arranged ridge 23.
  • the four ridges 23 protrude symmetrically in a substantially angular position of the internal surface 20 of the bucket 15.
  • the lid 13 of the bin 10 is open at such an angle as to allow the stacking, from above, of the additional bin 10a.
  • the additional bin 10a has, in a stacking configuration, a lid 13a open at an angle that allows the stacking from above of a third bin 10b.
  • the bin 10 is stacked so that it is rotated through 180° about a vertical axis with respect to the additional identical bin 10a.
  • the additional identical bin 10a is stacked so that it is rotated through 180° with respect to the overlying third bin 10b.
  • the lid 13 is arranged substantially at an angle of 269° with respect to its configuration, shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5, for closing the mouth 24 of the bucket 15.
  • Such stacking configuration together with the mutual arrangement rotated through 180° about a vertical axis and with the depth of the mouth 24 of the bucket 15 and of the locators 22, allows the bin 10 to contain a lower portion 21a of the additional identical bin 10a that corresponds to at least one third of the additional identical bin 10a.
  • the hinge means 14 are provided by two pivots 30, which are coaxial and symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane of symmetry of the bin 10.
  • the pivots 30 protrude on a rear part 32 of an upper perimeter 33 of the containment enclosure 12, and complementarily shaped holes 31 provided in the lid 13 rotate about them.
  • a protrusion 35 protrudes from one end 34 of each one of the pivots 30 and is provided with an upper abutment face 36 for a tab 37 that is rigidly coupled to the lid 13.
  • the tab 37 rests against the upper face 36 in a fully open configuration of the lid 13.
  • the tab 37 undergoes an elastic deformation in sliding over a lower part 38 of the protrusion 35 during the transition from the stacking configuration, with the lid at 269°, to the fully open configuration, with the lid at 89° with respect to the closed configuration.
  • the tab 37 again assumes, by snap action, its original configuration at the upper abutment face 36 of the protrusion 35 and therefore at the fully open configuration of the lid 13.
  • the protrusion 35 and the corresponding tab 37 allow the lid 13, overturned from the stacking configuration to the closed configuration, to open, by way of the opening means 19, up to 89° without overturning again and without assuming an inconvenient intermediate non-return configuration.
  • the fully open configuration at 89° instead allows the lid to return to the closed configuration by gravity as a consequence of the release of the pedal-operated lever 18 by the user.
  • the means 19 for opening the lid 13 comprise a lid portion 40 that is arranged between the two pivots 30 and has a cam-like profile.
  • the portion 40 can be pushed so as to rotate upward by means of a corresponding portion of an upper rim 41 of the bucket 15.
  • the bucket 15 in turn can be lifted by means of the pedal-operated lever 18.
  • the pedal-operated lever 18 is of the centrally-pivoted type.
  • a rear end 42 of the lever 18, arranged opposite a front pedal 43, is suitable to push upward the bucket 15.
  • the pedal-operated lever 18 is pivoted so as to rotate in a complementarily shaped opening 44 of the bottom 16 with the articulation means 17.
  • the articulation means 17 are constituted by two fulcrums 45, which are monolithic with the pedal-operated lever 18 and with the bottom 16.
  • the enclosure 12 with the pedal-operated lever 18, the bucket 15 and the lid 13 are obtained individually by molding plastic material.
  • the stackability of a plurality of identical bins according to the invention allows a great reduction in storage and packaging volumes and therefore in the transport costs for packages loaded on pallets.
  • the present invention provides a bin with pedal-lifted lid and with an internal bucket that can be packed together with a plurality of additional identical bins more compactly than known types.
  • the present invention provides a bin that allows to store, inside a known package, approximately twice as many bins compared with known bins.
  • the present invention provides a bin in which the performance in terms of capacity and convenience in use for a user is not lower than that of conventional bins.
  • the present invention provides a bin that allows a far cheaper management of the storage and transport of a plurality of identical bins with respect to conventional types.
  • the present invention provides a bin with pedal-lifted lid and with an internal bucket whose components are all obtainable easily and cheaply by molding plastic material.
  • the present invention provides a bin with pedal-lifted lid and with an internal bucket that can be manufactured with known systems and technologies.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
